Robin's Incentive

Chapter 1

The Titans were in the common room. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing video games. Raven was making some herbal tea. Starfire was chatting with Raven and playing with Silkie. Robin was obliviously staring at Starfire adoringly. He had a crush on her for the longest time. Starfire also had a secret crush. Robin.

"Well, I'm going to bed y'all. See ya in the morning." Cyborg said as he stood up.

"Me too." Beast Boy said, following Cyborg out of the room. Raven followed them up to her room with her tea. Starfire picked up Silkie and began to follow, but Robin grabbed her arm.

"Yes Robin?" Starfire asked questioningly. Robin just stood there.

"Uh…I…um… I wanted to say goodnight." Robin stuttered, captivated by her beauty.

"Good night, Robin." Starfire said as she left the room with Silkie. Robin followed minutes later, feeling stupid.

Chapter 2

Starfire was just drifting off to sleep when she heard a noise close by. She sat up slowly and saw a figure by her window. She got ready to fight, but someone grabbed her from behind and she screamed before a hand was clapped over her mouth and she was carried out the window by her two unknown captors.

The others had heard Starfire scream and raced to her room, only to find her gone. Beast Boy turned into a bloodhound and sniffed around for clues. He found a note and gave it to Robin. It said:

I believe we now have an incentive for you Robin. Starfire. We will be in touch tomorrow night and you will find out who we are. Stafrire says to feed Silkie.

Robin sank to his knees and Raven put her hand on his shoulder.

"She'll be fine Robin. She can handle herself." Raven told him gently.

"I'm not worried about that part, I'm worried about who took her. And I have a pretty good idea who one of them is. But who is the other is, I have no idea." Robin said.

"Who do you think the first one is?" Beast Boy asked.

"Yeah, we need to know who we're dealing with." Cyborg said.

"Blackfire." Robin growled.

Chapter 3

Meanwhile, Starfire had been taken to a house. She was tied up and a strip of tape was put over her mouth. As her two abductors stepped into the light, she saw they were Blackfire and a girl Blackfire told her was named Bianca. Bianca could levitate objects, fly, shoot lightning bolts from her eyes and hands, and could control wind. Starfire recognized Bianca as Red X's sister and knew Bianca had had a crush on Robin. She wondered if she still did. They dragged Starfire over to a metal table and she was chained to it. The girls laughed evilly as they watched Starfire struggle.

"Dude, I thought Blackfire was in alien jail and… Bianca!" Beast Boy said. Everyone turned sharply and stared at him.

"You mean Red X's sister that used to like Robin?" Raven asked incredulously. Beast Boy nodded and Robin asked why he thought this.

"Well, Bianca liked Robin and knew he didn't like her. He liked Starfire, so…"

"What!?" Raven and Cyborg said as Robin's face turned crimson.

"Yeah, that's another story. Anyway, Bianca might still be obsessed with Robin. They are using Starfire as an incentive." Beast Boy finished. Raven stared at him, Cyborg looked skeptical, and Robin's jaw dropped as he said

"That actually makes sense Beast Boy."

"Thank you." Beast Boy said, bowing.

"Robin, I think we should take turns standing by the phone." Raven said. They all nodded in agreement.

That night, Beast Boy was on phone watch. He was dozing off when it rang, causing him to jump up quickly.

"Guys, they're here… I mean they're… Well they're… The phone is ringing!" he finally yelled, dropping to the floor in defeat as the others raced in. Robin grabbed the phoneamd said

"Hello?!"

"Oh, hi Robbie-"

"Bianca, quiet." he heard someone say as he put the phone on speaker.

"Alright, Robin, let's cut to the chase." Black fire said. "We have Starfire, as you probably figured out. We'll have to discuss this personally." Robin heard muffled noises in the background as Blackfire said "What's that little sister? Good idea. Starfire says you should meet me and Bianca under the bridge tomorrow at midnight. See you then." Robin opened his mouth, but the line clicked and went dead.
