(I think this song fits in well with the chapter so listen to it if you like)

Robin pushed Raven behind him as Slade advanced, silently telling her to stay out of this. "No Robin!" she hissed."Do you not want me to defend myself?" he whispered back furiously. "If he attacks me, I have no choice but to retaliate."She swallowed her protest, knowing he was right but wishing there was a different way. With no other option, though, she was forced to step back and give them room for their battle."Good Girl, Raven. Let the men have it out." Slade's mocking voice floated over. She clenched her teeth in anger, but refused to let him bait her. What happened to the Slade she got to know a few months ago? Maybe he never existed, she thought. She fell back with the titans who threw her questioning looks, still trying to figure everything out. They kept their questions for later, though, as they waited for the fight to begin.Robin stood his ground, waiting for Slade's attack. Still not breaking his word, he wouldn't fight until forced to defend himself. Slade circled, slightly crouched, poised and ready to pounce. "I've been waiting for this for some time, Robin. Today is the day that you die." He taunted with chilling finality, making Raven shiver.Suddenly he moved, feinting to the right then quickly changing direction, catching Robin by surprise. But Robin was quick too; he dodged to the right, throwing a punch in the same smooth movement, landing it on Slade's jaw. He was only stunned for a moment, though, and quickly spun around, slamming his elbow into Robin's stomach. He stumbled back, winded, and Slade pressed his advantage. Taking a fistful of his hair, he pulled Robin's head down sharply, smashing it into his raised knee.Raven gasped, automatically stepping forward, wanting to go to him, stop the blood that was now pouring out of his nose."No, Rae." said Cyborg, grabbing her arm. "It's between the two of them. For now."Without taking her eyes off the two adversaries, she said in a strangled voice, "I can't watch this!""Then don't." Cy said softly."But I have to!"With a grim smile, Cy gently placed his huge hand on her shoulder.Robin landed a kick in Slade's chest, making him stumble back, but he recovered quickly. He swung his fist at Robin's head, but he managed to block it and bring his own fist up, catching Slade under the chin. He aimed another kick, but Slade caught it in his two hands, flipping Robin off his feet and onto his back. He landed with a sickening thud and Raven clenched her teeth, feeling every blow with him.It went on and on, for what felt like an eternity. As it always was with Robin and Slade, there was never a clear stronger fighter. It went back and forth, Robin gaining, then Slade then Robin.... Raven was going crazy.In fact, she and the team were so involved in the fight that they didn't hear anything come up behind them. She screamed in fright when she was lifted off her feet, cold metallic hands gripping her arms and legs. Behind her, she saw her friends lying out cold, having been caught by surprise by the few Slade-bots that had silently sneaked in through the doors behind them.Robin, alerted by her scream, had stopped fighting and was looking at her and the bots with shock. "Robin, look out!" she cried, but too late, Slade came up behind him, hitting him over the head with one of the heavy chairs that littered the room. Robin crumpled to the ground, and didn't get up. "Robin!"she cried.Slade stood over him, chuckling in a satisfied way. "Finally, you will be out of my way." He murmured. Slowly, he started to lift the solid chair again, aiming it for Robin's head. Raven gasped.Everything started moving in slow motion. Fury rose up in her throat at the injustice of it all; looking at Robin's limp figure and the knowing the cowardly thing that Slade was meaning to do. She watched as he slowly raised it, holding it above his head."NO!" she screamed.Channelling all her fury and terror into her power, she threw the bots off her so forcefully they slammed into the wall ten feet away from her. Then, she formed her dark energy into a huge, black hand that crashed into the unprepared Slade, slamming him into the concrete floor.The chair went skidding across the ground, leaving Slade alone on the floor, unconscious. Raven made quick work of the last few bots, sending them careening into the solid concrete walls and floor. Once they all lay scattered, in pieces, she ran over to Robin, kneeling beside him, frantically inspecting him. The blood from his nose had dried, and there was a little at the corner of his mouth. But he was breathing. Nevertheless, she wanted to get him back to the hospital wing at Titans Tower immediately.Running over to Cyborg, she shook him. "Wake up! I need your help!" his head lolled from side to side. "Cyborg!" she yelled. No response. "Shit!" she muttered frantically.Running back to Robin, she bent over him again. She would have to heal him here then. She placed her hands on his chest, feeling her energy glowing, swelling inside her, moving through her arms and to her hands. But before she could focus the energy onto Robin, she was yanked back and thrown across the room."Not so fast, Raven." Said Slade as she skidded to a stop a few feet away. Groaning in pain as she stood up, she put her hand to her left arm that had dragged on the rough floor; it came back bloody.She walked forward, black flames cradled in each of her hands as she glared up at him with fury and hate. Dark energy seemed to crackle around her. For a moment, Slade could see the demon side to her. Involuntarily, he took a step back, then realised what he was doing. Shocked at himself, he sneered, "What are you going to do, demon girl?""No, Slade. What are you going to do?" she shot back. "When I got here, I was all for not hurting you. I didn't want you to get hurt. Can you believe it? But any feelings I had for you are gone now, Slade. I will not stand back and let you do this. You were going to kill him. You have ruined any relationship we could have had. Now, I am going to take my friends back to the tower. If you try and stop me, don't doubt me, I will fight you, and I will kill you if I have to."Slade was shocked. What happened to the sweet girl he got to know? "Raven..."Ignoring him, she moved to walk past him to Robin, but he caught her arm. "Raven, don't you understand...?" Suddenly there was a black shield between them, shoving him back, making him stumble as he fell backwards. "Don't touch me." She bit out.Focusing her power, she scooped Robin up, then the others, making them float eerily on black slings of energy. Without glancing back, she headed for the door. "Raven." Slade called.She stopped, looked over her shoulder. "This isn't over." He said.Turning her back to him, she continued out the door, guiding her unconscious friends in front of her, leaving him to watch her leave helplessly.
