My Nightmare REMIX

Chapter 3 The Portal

The Titans looked at Batgirl. She stood there looking at the ground not facing their eyes. Finally Starfire went up to her and asked: "Was Robin always alone? Did he ever have a family?" Batgirl didn't answer. Raven was getting impatient. "Well answer the question." She snapped Batgirl looked up at them. "I'm not allowed to say." She whispered. "Says who?" Raven asked annoyed Batgirl shook her head. "I'm not allowed to say." She repeated "Dudes I know we have questions but what about Robin? He doesn't have a lot of time left right Cy?" BB asked Cyborg glanced at Robin. He suddenly noticed something. Robin wasn't shaking out of fear; he was shaking out of sickness. "Robin's got a fever." Cyborg said worried "Why does your news sound troubling?" Starfire asked "Because Star, his immune system is focusing on the poison. It can't fight a fever and the poison." He said shaking his head Batgirl suddenly snapped back to action. Remembering her purpose for being here she stood up straight. "Well c'mon! What are we waiting here for? We have to save Robin!" She said Raven and Star also seemed to remember Robin's condition. Immediately they went over by Batgirl who was beside Robin's bed. "I have a plan." She announced "What??" They all asked anxiously.

"Us girls all go into Robin's mind, stop the Nightmare, save Robin, and ta-da! We're done!" She said happily Beastboy thought about her plan. Then realized something… "Hey! That was my plan! You stole my plan! You can't just steal my plan!" BB complained

"Hate to burst your bubble, but I just did. Deal with it." Batgirl said through gritted teeth.

BB shivered in fear of her tone. "Y-yes ma'am." He muttered Batgirl smiled. "Alright girls let's get to it! Oh and Cyborg try to work on an antidote while we're gone 'kay?" She giggled Cyborg nodded and saluted the females. All of them waved in goodbye.

"Okay Raven I'm guessing that you can get us in Robin's head. I'm counting on you!" She said Raven nodded. "But let's get something straight. You do not boss me around. Just because Robin isn't here and you're his friend doesn't mean you're my boss. Got it?" She said Batgirl shrugged. "Whatever let's go!" She commanded Raven's eye twitched. "Um Batgirl, Raven does not like you bossing her around. Could you please let her do things the way we are used to?" Starfire asked kindly Batgirl smiled "Sure Starfire." She said

Starfire smiled back. "Ready?" Raven asked The two nodded. "Alright here goes…" Raven said "Azerath…Metrion…Zinthos!!!" She shouted "AHHHH!" The other two screamed as they fell while Raven led them in the portal to Robin's mind. (A/N: Okay they fall into the portal cause it's on the ground. So yeah…) As the girls screamed and disappeared the two boys stood there stunned. "Um. Think they'll be okay?" Beastboy asked "Yeah…sure." Cyborg said

So are the girls going into Robin's mind quietly or is someone deadly waiting for them…

Chapter 4 Hello

(This part of the fic is going to be a song chapter. With the song 'Hello' by Evanescence. And I'm basing that day with the 'The Batman' version)

Playground school bell rings again

Robin was in torture. He was in some room he didn't recognize. And it was reminding him of things he didn't want to remember. Things that he had tried to erase….

Rain clouds come to play again

He was seeing himself at his school. His elementary school, those days were painful. And lonely.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

He looked around. He seemed surrounded by millions of screens. Screens of different, painful, memories. Each one worst than the next. He kept seeing things that made him want to die. Things that made him suffer on the inside. Like seeing his mother fall from beneath him.

Hello I'm in your mind giving you someone to talk to

All those people staring. All those looks of judgment. Of hatred. They didn't even know him. Yet they stared with cold eyes. "Hey. I hear that he's that new rich kid." "What's he doing here?" "Tsk. Trying to be better than all of us." "Some nerve coming here."

Hello

Everywhere he went people looked at him. Like he was spoiled, didn't deserve to be here.He was shunned by everyone, only himself to talk to. "Who needs them? We have to find him. We have to kill him!" His inner self yelled, "Yes, I suppose you're right." He whispered

Suddenly he wasn't afraid he was angry and went after his classmates.

The normal Robin watched with fear. Remembering those days. He was such a monster! He was so angry back then that he could've killed someone! The school Counselor finally spoke to him.

"I know you're angry. Your parents' death has made you this way has it not?"

"No."

He tried not to cry. Why did they always ask that? Why did they care?

"Then what has?" She asked bored

"You don't care. I'm just apart of your paycheck." He said

"No I want to help you."

"No, you want money. I help you get money. Why should you be helping me? You can't even help her! Quit trying to save your daughter you'll never get enough money." He said coldly

"How do you know…about my daughter?" She asked shocked

"I didn't, I knew you were trying to save someone. So I guessed daughter. Perfect guess I suppose." He said

The counselor shook her head. "We're here to talk about you not me or my daughter."

"No, I'm here because the teacher sent me here. You're here for money to help your worthless daughter."

The counselor gasped. "That's it. You are getting transferred!"

"Oh no for you. Less money." He said grinning

"Get out!" She screeched

"It's been a pleasure." He bowed mockingly

He hated the part where he said her daughter was worthless. He was such a jerk! He then remembered moving to a different school. Then the lecture from Batman. (A/N: I'm saying Batman not Bruce cuz that's who the Titans know him as)

If I smile and don't believe

Skip ahead to the fight with Scarecrow when he became Robin. All that gas making him see things he feared. Like now. Only except he wasn't hit by gas. What happened anyway? His mind wouldn't let him remember…. Suddenly he saw it. That night and everything else faded away as he watched it. He didn't want to but he couldn't turn away.

Soon I'll know I'll wake from this dream

Everything seemed so real. The circus arena, the people, his parents… So close he could touch them. He then realized that he was behind a glass wall like when people listen and watch a person being interrogated. He saw himself. He was short and his black hair up in short spikes. They were in the dressing room. He was asking his Mom if he had to come out. She said yes he had to, so he did. It looked like the uniform he had on now. Just like the one his mom made. That's why there were all like that. He smiled a moment. In this memory he came out and he thought he looked so lame back then. He looked at his young self because he never really looked at the pictures of him being younger because they brought this night alive. Fresh.

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken

His memories skipped ahead again. To the part he hated most. The part where he became alone. Everything seemed to focus on his parents and nothing else.

Then he thought about the glass. Maybe if he banged on it they would hear him. Maybe he could make it stop. He banged on it hard. They didn't seem to notice him pounding on the glass.

"No! Don't go out there! Stop! STOP!" He shouted at the top of his lungs

They didn't seem to hear. It was like a dream. (A/N: Well it is...)

Once again no response. They smiled as they jumped towards the trapeze. His dad swung and went over to his mom, her turn to go. Robin kept banging on the glass, then he saw him. Tony Zucco. The man who killed his family. He was sitting there smiling as he had a bucket of Popcorn that was filled with the screws that held the trapeze. Only little Robin was left, it was his turn to jump.

Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide

Robin hit the glass one final time and the little Robin seemed to see him. Robin pointed at the place where the screws were held. The little Robin's eyes widened with fear. Then they both saw what happened next in slow motion.

Robin's mother reached her hand out to him. His mom and dad were smiling. As if encouraging him to come. They had practiced this before no reason to be afraid. Except that they were going to die. Suddenly his mom and dad both looked towards the screw area. Their eyes widened, they knew what was next. Their death…

Both Robins cried out as one. Even if one scream wasn't heard they both cried out wanting this to end. Wanting time to stop. But of course miracles don't always happen.

Don't cry

Both Robin's fell to their knees sobbing. At this point the glass wall disappeared. Robin was sitting on the ground sobbing. His dream would be over by now. He'd usually wake up and read or do work. He was waiting for himself to wake up. Nothing happened.

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Instead he saw more memories. But the last one he saw was when he was when he had a nightmare about Batgirl and Batman dieing. All his life he blamed himself for not dieing with his parents. But after this dream he made his life about protecting people. But even thought this dream gave him a reason for living he still shook in fear. In his dream Batgirl was about to fall and she had one free hand, one for him to grab. Batman was also going to fall but on the other side of him, farther away. Then their grips fell lose and they were falling. They were both shouting to him saying things like:

"Robin save me!"

"Robin help me!"

"Robin please help me!"

"Robin are you going to let me die?"

He had kept looking left to right and didn't know who to choose. So he fell to the ground hearing their cries and not doing a thing. Like the coward he truly was. But after that Batman had woken him up and made him relax. It was after all only a dream. Once again Robin waited for himself to wake up. But like before he had no success.

Hello I'm still here all that's left of yesterday

Robin sat there waiting. All his life he saved people hoping to pay off his debt. Hoping that his soul would be at peace. But this time he was the one who needed saving.

"Some please…wake me up." He thought

( Yay! Third and Fourth chapters are up! Hope you like and if you don't tell me why and I'll try to make it better!)
