"Robin, you must-" A red head pleaded but was cut off by the birdbrain.

"I must what Starfire?! Let Slade run around killing innocent people?" He yelled as he stopped pacing around his office.

"You must calm down. You can not do the 'thinking straight' when you are angry." She pleaded as he turned away from her as she put her arms out for a hug.

"Robin, please do not do this again." She said as he turned back around to her and glared.

"Do what?" He said with a threatening voice. "Turn into a psychopath obsessed with a man who only wants to see your demise." She murmured. He had never been this angry before and he was scaring her.

"A psychopath? That's a pretty long word for you Star." He said smirking as she frowned.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" She shot back putting her hands on her hips.

"It means that you're wasting your breath. Why would I listen to the advice of someone who can't even speak English correctly?" He said, but she wasn't phased by his 'insult'.

"I guess I should have kissed someone who actually knew English then." She replied as she watched the smirk leave his face.

"Get the fuck out." He said as her smirk left her face. "Robin." She said.

"Go wait in my room, I'll be in there in a while so you can do the only thing you're actually good at." He said as his smirk returned.

"Sorry, looks like you will have to partake in the jacking off tonight." She said as she stormed out the office.

As the door slid open, Beast Boy and Cyborg fell in the room while Raven leaned against the wall.

"How did it go?" Cyborg asked as the door closed.

"I have failed and do not want to try anymore." She said as she walked down the hall. Raven sighed and got off the wall.

"Dude, I think Robin's gone off the deep end since Starfire can't even get through to him." Beast Boy said as he stood.

"I could try." Raven said as she stood in front of the door. "You think you can get through to him?" Cyborg asked and Raven shrugged.

"Might as well as give a shot right?" She said as she knocked on the door.

"Go away." Robin said from the other side as Beast Boy and Cyborg walked away.

"It's me Robin." Raven said as she heard some moving from the other side. The door slide open and she stepped in.

"You didn't have to be so mean to Star, she was just trying to help." Raven said as he sat at his desk.

"I didn't let you in here to tell me how I should treat my girlfriend." Robin said.

"I didn't come in here to tell you how you should treat your girlfriend, who should really dump your sorry ass, either. I came to in here to tell you to let this Slade thing go. He's just messing with you." She said as she sat on the desk.

'Starfire will never dump me, no matter how rude or mean I am to her.' He thought to himself, remembering everything he said to her. "No, it's different this time Raven." Robin said looking up at her.

"It's not Robin. He comes then he goes." She said. 'I could be reading right now.' She thought as she remembered the new book she bought that day.

"Then he comes back and it starts all over again." Robin said as he stood and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" She asked as she followed him out the door. "Starfire's waiting for me." He replied walking down the hallway.

'HA! Starfire is not that dumb.' She thought. "I doubt that." She murmured following him.

"You have to stop this Robin, everyone else including else me won't take this for much longer." She said as they both entered the elevator.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"It means that you won't be fit to be our leader anymore." Raven said as he glared at her.

"And if I'm not then who is?" He questioned as he stepped out the elevator.

"That's just it Robin. No one is so if you aren't here to lead us, then there won't be an us." Raven explained.

"Then stop trying to see me as unfit then." He said as he stood in front of his door. Raven rolled her eyes and stood next to him.

"Starfire's not in there." She said as he rolled his eyes.

"If I say I'll back off the Slade thing will you leave me alone?" He asked as he typed in the code for his room.

"Sure thing birdbrain." She replied as he smiled. The smile that made her heart swell. She shook her head at the thoughts coming into her head. Starfire would be heartbroken and she'd ruin her friendship with him.

"Raven." His voice said, bringing her out of her thoughts. "What is it?" She asked. "You spaced out on me." He said as she nodded.

"Oh, I just thinking. What were you talking about?" She asked, hoping he didn't notice her blush under her hood.

'I really need to stop.' She said biting her lip and looking at his soft ones. 'If only,' "I was asking if you could-" He stopped as she pressed her lips against his. She pressed him into his door to deepen it, but a voice broke the bond they were forming.

"Crap." She mumbled as his eyes darted to the owner of the voice.


She paced back and forth in her room.

"Why would Robin say such mean things to me?" She asked air as she paced.

"Maybe I should not have bothered him, he does not like to be bothered when he is in his office." She said fell on her bed. She groaned.

"I should go apologize for saying such mean things to him. Yet, he was the one who did the starting of it." She said as she stood and walked towards the door. She pulled her hand back as she heard his voice outside her door. 'And Raven's?' She thought as the door opened. She felt her heart drop and break as he pulled her into a kiss, a passionate one at that.

"Robin." Her voice called out as he looked up.

"Starfire." He said as Raven face turned red. 'Perfect moment, ruined by his girlfriend.' She thought as she could still feel his soft lips on hers. Starfire opened her mouth to speak but no words came. A black raven engulfed Raven and she disappeared, leaving Robin free to move. As he took a step towards her, she turned and went back in her room.

"Starfire!" He yelled as he ran to the door.

"Go away please!" She replied as she leaned against the door.

"We need to talk Star, that wasn't what you think it was!" He said.

"I do not wish to speak with you right now Robin!" She said as the tears came down her face.

"Starfire please. She kissed me! We were just talking then she just did it, then you came out your room and-" He stopped as the door opened. His heart sunk at seeing his love so, broken. His heart broke at the fact that it was all because of him.

"Why Robin?" She said as he opened his mouth but she kept talking.

"Why must you continually lock yourself away and not let me in? You never let anyone in except her." She said as her tears fell.

"Star I-" He said but she threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry Star." He said as he hugged her back.

"I didn't mean to hurt you Star. You're right, I don't think straight when I'm angry." He said as she let him go but he still kept his arms tightly around her. "You're always right, I don't know why I never listen. I love how you say things differently and how you always wait for me to come to bed." He said as she gently pushed him away. She bit her lip as she turned away from him.

"Starfire." He pleaded as he followed her into her room.

"I do not wish to hear what you have to say anymore Robin." She said as she sat on her bed and took off her boots.

"But Star." He pleaded as he sat down next to her. She ignored him as she walked over to her dresser.

"I'm sorry, ok? I love you and I never show you and I'm sorry. I'll try to do better Star, I promise." He said as he stood next to her.

"You'll try? I do not need you to try anymore Robin." She said as she took off her armor gloves.

"What are you saying?" He asked, dreading what she might say next.

"I don't know Robin. What does it sound I am saying?" She replied. He swallowed the lump in his throat.

"It sounds like you're saying you don't want to do this anymore." He mumbled.

"And what if I am saying that?" She asked as she sat back down on her bed.

"Then what do you want Starfire? What do I need to do to make it right? I love you and I'll do it anything." He said as he knelt down in front of her. She smiled and looked into his masked eyes. "

Take it off." She ordered. "Um, ok." He said he stood and took his cape then utility belt off.

"That is not what I meant." She replied as he looked confused. "What do you mean then?" He asked as he knelt down in front of her again.

"This." She said as she put her hands on his mask. He quickly grabbed her wrists and pushed her back onto the bed. He froze as he looked into her confused, then hurt face. "Starfire, you want that?" He asked as she nodded as he sat down next to her.

"I want to see your face Robin, show me you love me by showing me you." She as she sat up. He cautiously put his hands on his mask and looked at her. She nodded for him to continue but he stood instead. "Star, I love you but, I can't." He said as he dropped his hands to his side.

"Robin, before I saw what I saw tonight, I was on my way to apologize to you for saying such awful things to you." She jabbered, flabbergasted at him not taking his mask off, as she stood next to him. He looked at her and put his hands on her face. "Starfire." He said before he forcefully pulled her face to his and kissed her.

"You don't have to apologize for anything you said to me Star, I deserved it. I should have never said anything like that to you in the first place." He whispered as she smiled. "What about your mask?" She asked as he looked away. "I can't Star." He said.

"Why not Robin? Why is that I can't see you? I let you see every inch of me." She said. "It's not that easy Starfire." He replied.

"So it was easy for me to let you see me in the nude?" She shot back as he was immediately flustered.

"I didn't mean it that way. It's just different. Without my mask, I'm not Robin anymore." He explained as she rolled her eyes.

"Then who is it that you are?" She said but he didn't respond. "Raven knows." She mumbled as he looked at her. As he opened his mouth, she kept talking.

"When were having one of the 'girl talks' she told me that you had a rough past which is why you kept your mask on to keep from going back to it." She stated. "Starfire, I didn't tell her." He replied but Starfire shook her head.

"But you let her in your head so she could know. She knows who the unmasked Robin is, why is that I, the one you love, can not know as well?" She questioned.

"Because I don't trust the one that I love." He murmured, not quiet enough that she couldn't hear though.

"You do not trust me?" She asked as he shook his head.

"You're great Starfire, you really are. It's just that you are very naïve at times and no one can know my secret identity. I can't risk it slipping out of you." He explained, but she was not content with his answer.

"I do not want to do this anymore Robin." Starfire stated as she walked towards the door.

"What? Because of my mask?" He asked.

"It is very late and I am tired." She said as the door slide open and she motioned for him to leave.

"I understand that you're tired but I'm not leaving til' we worked this bug in our relationship out." He said as she rolled her eyes.

"You are the bug Robin!" She yelled and his eyes widened, she never yelled at him with so much anger in her voice before.

"You are the one who is always causing the issues Robin!" She continued. "Calm down Star, you'll wake the others up." He said and the door slide close.

"Robin please leave, I do not want to do this anymore. If you want to talk, please do it tomorrow. I want to be alone so I can rest in peace please." She replied.

"Promise we'll talk tomorrow then?" He said as he stood in front of her.

"What is the point of making a promise if you do not trust me to keep it?" She shot back as she opened the door and pushed him through it.

"Starfire!" He called through the door. She didn't respond. He banged his head on the door.

'It's gonna be a long day tomorrow.' He thought as he walked to his own room.
