Author's Note:
Hello all. I have recently been hit hard with a Teen Titan craving (again). Strange because I thought that I was over my little obsession with the show a while ago… suddenly I just started re-watching the whole thing and boom! Plot Bunnies!
So- before I start off I am a die hard Robstar shipper. No other pairings in this fic… I kind of got the idea of this fic from parts of several episodes. I really think that Control Freak is an amusing villain. I loved his online chats with his buddies in the episode For Real… They capture the (me included at times) loser-ness qualities of blogs and IM chats.
"Robin and Starfire 4eva" line… nearly shit my pants!
Anyway- I own nothing. Especially not the tv shows that this fic will parody. I hope you enjoy the fic, and if you feel it was not all that crap-tacular, I will always accept reviews!
Be aware that I am using a Japanese computer- since I am living in Japan at the moment- so a few punctuation marks might be a little retarded... Stupid quotation marks and triple periods...
On to
Chapter 1
The city was quiet. In many ways that should be cause for celebration in any professional crime fighter's book. Yet, for one teenage boy it was not. For some reason he was uneasy.
True it could have something to do with the splint on his ankle and the other on his right wrist. He had been careless in the last mission to take down the city's latest criminal mastermind wanabe... again. He was out of commission for at least a few days, or so he was told because of an amateur mistake. He hated being the one to screw up.
Ever since the splits had been put in place he had been kicking himself for the simple mistake… but then again, when things concerned a certain alien princess, things were never simple. He had been fighting one of the sinister robots; there was one for each titan and a few to spare. The others were handing them as well as could be expected from a sneak attack, Starfire, being stronger than them all had finished off hers and went on to take out the criminal behind the explosions and robots.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath remembering her scream as the man grabbed on to her violently and thrashed her in the air. He called out to her with a panicked voice, and did not see the robot as it sent him sailing into the wall, which was too close and didn't allow him time to twist or maneuver to cushion the impact. Rubble fell and pinned him. His world went black for a time; he had woken up on the way back to the tower, his head gently resting on the alluring alien's lap while they rode in the T Car. He nearly fainted again noticing a different view of the girl who had a special power over him. He had never realized how large her…
In the end Starfire once again showed him that she was not such a weak little girl. She was able to stop the criminal with a swift one two punch combination of eye bolts and her fists. The bad guy was arrested, the city saved, and a battered, both physically and ego-wise, Robin was sitting on the couch.
"Robin, do you require the fluffing of the pillow?" A cheerful girl called as she flew from the kitchen area to the large couch area. In her hands was a tray of different foods, all Tamarian except a few.
"No, Star. I'm fine. Really. You could have gone with the others. I can manage." Robin said as she set the tray down on the coffee table and fluffed his foot pillow anyway.
"But I could not leave you alone. Not in your condition. Besides, Cyborg said something about you needing a nurse. Shall I call a doctor and ask for one?" She said still pondering Cyborg's comments before he, Beast Boy and Raven went out for the day. "I also do not understand this CPR Cyborg said I might need to perform… I do not understand what your injuries have to do with me and the letters C, P and R and why you would enjoy it so much..."
Robin blushed and tried to sink into the couch. He was glad Cyborg was not there to explain further for the confused and naive girl. The rest of the team knew that he didn't, and would not need CPR from his injuries… Cyborg just like teasing him at every turn when it came to a certain girl.
"You do need the fluffing." She exclaimed seeing him sinking down and mistaking it as inadequate pillow comfort. "Shall I get more pillows? Perhaps you wish to eat some Bunka'ra. On Tamaran, it is said to heal any broken or injured bone. I could also recite the traditional healing sonnets of my people, verses 346-789 which seem to best suit your current injuries." She smiled all happy to help in anyway she could.
"No, that's ok Star. I am fine. Really!"
"Are you sure?" She asked again.
"Yeah. Why don't you sit down and relax for a while. If I need anything, I will ask. Ok?"
"So everything is the o and k, then?" His nod made her smile and some of her worry was gone. Quickly flying out of the room and returning with Silkie, Starfire took a seat next to Robin.
Grabbing the remote from the coffee table, Star once again turned to Robin.
"What shall we watch?"
"I don't mind. You pick Star."
"Really? But the last time I was allowed to pick a movie, many found it to be of the boringness. I however found the movie of… what were they called again? Slow?"
"Sloths."
"Yes. It was quite enjoyable." Robin looked at her remembering how she enjoyed watching a two hour documentary on the lives of several sloths… no matter how slow they were and how bored everyone else was by the end.
"I don't care. Anything you want to watch." Robin said not worrying about the choice of movie. Whatever it would be, he would enjoy it because she was there with him. He also enjoyed playing the role of teacher from time to time, loving how she was accepting Earth Life more and more everyday. She was also excited to know more about her new home.
"Then how about this?" She asked as she held up a dvd case. Robin smiled.
"Star Wars, heh?"
"Yes… I am curious what kind of movie this is… do stars really battle? And if so, why are there people on the cover?"
"Um… Star." Robin's mouth fell open for a second and then he had to chuckle. "Star Wars is not a documentary on stars. It is a movie made a while ago about outer space and people living there."
"But you said humans cannot live in outer space."
"Just put in the movie Star. It is not real. It is just a story, ok?"
Silkie was snoring peacefully in his lap as the movie ended. Usually Starfire was the permanent cushion for the little bug when she was present, but since Starfire was so involved with the movie- Silkie could not settle down and sleep.
Robin enjoyed watching her eyes light up with excitement as the light saber battles took place. They were soon into the second movie, episode five, after having to explain to her why he would not let her watch episodes one, two or three. She looked a little confused again when he told her that was how the movies came out and that the newer ones were so-so in quality.
So engrossed in watching Star and not interrupting Silkie's sleep, he didn't notice the static on the screen becoming worse and worse. They had just decided to continue into the next movie when Starfire began to look confused.
"Um… Robin, is this part of the movie?" She asked pointing to a familiar figure laughing at them from the screen.
Dressed in his Jedi outfit like he usually wore, the chubby figure smirked.
"I did not know Control Freak was in this movie." Star said finding it odd he would be in the movie since Robin had said that none of the titans had been born when they came out.
"He's not Star… Control Freak what do you want?" Robin said sitting up and disturbing the worm that was sleeping. Silkie crawled to Star while crying due to its sudden wake up call.
"Now, now Robin. You are in no position to demand anything from me."
"You are interrupting the day of movies." Starfire said getting angry, her eyes glowing.
"I am so sorry my precious alien cutie." He smiled as he took out a new version of his infamous remote control.
"You like it? It is the newest model, made with a special purpose in mind…" He winked at Starfire. "Now, not only can I control the channels, but I can put people into the roles. And every good action hero needs a spectacular leading lady…"
"She's not interested being some fanboy's anything." Robin said pushing himself up off the couch.
"Robin. Your injuries are not healed." She cried seeing him get up and hovering near his side.
"Sorry Star. But I am going to get this guy for ruining movie day."
"So sorry, if I knew you liked Star Wars so much, I would have done this a long time ago!"
With a click of the button Starfire was instantly gone from the Tower and on the screen with Control Freak.
"Robin, say hello to my Princess Leia! Honey, I would gladly be your Han Solo."
A/n: Well, what do you think?
