Starfire sat calmly on the sofa, sighing happily. The last few days had been so peaceful, and the siren hadn't gone off forever. It felt strange for everything to be so calm… But never the less she enjoyed it. The whole team had, even Raven. The girls had done a walk through of every mall in jump city. And the boys had played every video game in the house. Robin trained madly, a few hours later realizing he could actually relax! Raven meditated for two hours straight. And Beastboy had taken the opportunity to explain the benefits of tofu to Cyborg. Not that Cyborg was listening… He was busy programming some new technology into…well himself. But all good things must come to an end…eventually. But no matter how long they waited the end didn't seem to come, and well…they were beginning to get bored. Finally Robin decided to call a titans meeting, just because, he was bored out of his mind.
Star looked at Robin respectfully waiting instructions, but secretly admiring his hair… How'd he get it to stick out like that? What hair gel did he use? However Star was convinced that he'd look great it any hair-do…and then that uniform really set everything off, made everything click… But he had also looked awesome in a tux… But the thing she liked the most, had to be his mask… I mean what was behind that thing? If she were more like her sister, Blackfire, she run right up and rip it off. But she wasn't her sister, she was Starfire. And she loved Robin. She respected Robin; he always knew what to do, and what to say. Except when it came to her… She brushed these thoughts out of her head, to him he was the team Leader, and she was his teammate, and his friend, but nothing more… But-
"Titans, I have called you here because… I'M BORED OUT OF MY MIND! And by the looks of it you are too." Robin began. He was right Cyborg looked like he might actually be ready to try tofu. Raven remained emotionless, but more calm than usual. Meanwhile, Beastboy's eyes darted around from place to place quickly, as if he were an animal about to be let out of its cage. But Star just sat there, giving her full attention to Robin; ready to do whatever he wanted her to do. "Recently the city has given me a call, they say that the crime rate is going down for once, and they feel if we aren't working then they are wasting money buying our food, and cable…and stuff… So they have given us a new mission… It seems there is a spider infestation advancing on the city…and-" "They want us to play pest control?" Asked Cyborg. "Well… Yeah." "Why don't they just hire some exterminators?" asked Raven. "Well… Most of them are on house calls… and I thought since everybody seems so bored we could help…" "That is our job, is it not? To protect the city? Whether it is in danger from insects or mutant humans", said Star. Robin looked at her grateful for her support. Reluctantly the titans agreed. And began setting off to commence battle with the spiders.
As they walked toward their destination Robin caught up with Star, "Hey Star, thanks for-" Star starred straight ahead, "I was merely doing as I was told." Sadness dripped from her voice, but Robin pretended not to notice. Star had convinced herself that Robin would never like her, all he wanted was an obedient team, and she wanted him to be happy. She tried acting like Raven no emotions, but being Tamarian she was naturally emotional. She loved Robin, and nothing could change that. A single tear leaked from her eye but Robin couldn't see it because her was walking on Star's other side. "Well taking orders or not I appreciate it." Star stayed silent. "Really Star I don't know what i-what the team would do without you." Star brushed away her tear with one hand, then turned to face Robin, "Friend, you are my teammate, and my friend, my best friend. If you need me I will be there." Robin starred at her, tried to figure out how to reply to that, "It's great to know that Star but have you ever consider being more- WHOA!" Right as the offer to be his girlfriend was about to come out they reached their destination Spider valley.
"Spider infestation? Man, that is the understatement of the century!" There were small spiders everywhere, climbing up building scattering, going down the street, climbing up a street lamp, and making a giant web that stretched over the entire street. The titans were usted to fight BIG bad guys, that had serious skill, quality, not quantity. But fighting these spiders would be more difficult, because they were so small, are there were millions of them! So Quantity, not quality. If it had been two are three larger spiders no problem, but these spiders were so small they could fit anywhere…
Robin recovered from shock, in time to shout his catchphrase, "Titans Go!" And so they sprang into action. Cyborg started shooting every which way with his laser canon. Raven lifted a long layer of spiders into the air, and with a clap of her hands they smashed together, killing most of them off, this appeared to be the most affective technique. Star flew into the air to blast some spiders into space, but she found it difficult to fly when she felt so unhappy, which left her no choice but to land in the middle of the spider pit, which usted to be called a sidewalk. Anger was an emotion she had no trouble feeling, she blasted spiders left and right so quickly that she looked like a glowing green oval. But the spiders being very small, were hard to hit, many seeped into gaps, and advanced on Star. At first she didn't notice them crawling up her boots and when she finally did, she went into serious blasted mode, not to kill them but to get them off her. The smart bugs climbed up heel of her boot, where it was harder to get hit in the end only one spider made it to the top of the boot. Star attempted to shake the spiders off and it worked well (her boots were slippery) except the one spider at the top of her boot fell into her boot. At first she didn't feel it, then she did. Now Star was scared of bugs or anything she just didn't like them crawling up her leg (all sane people agree.) But before she had a chance to even scream, the spider bit her ankle.
A/N: Sorry but had to set the scene, I promise much more Robin and Starfireness will occur!
