Over Time: Chapter 1: Deja Vu
+ ++ +
The sunlight spilled into the room of a young hero, shining on his face. The teen boy wonder, known as Robin, sat up with a long yawn. He looked out the window and watched the sun rise over the crystal, clear water.
"Wow.. this day's gonna be gre-" he was suddenly cut off by an ear- shattering scream.
"AAHH!!" The scream came again, from downstairs. Robin jumped out of bed trying to pull on his boot at the same time. He lost his footing and fell face flat. He shot right back up and darted right out his door, only to run head-on into something hard and cold.
"Yo, Robin, watch the hardware!" Cyborg said, pretending to admire his right bicep, which Robin had apparently run into. Cyborg helped Robin up and then-
"NOT AGAIN! GRRRR! TAKE THAT!" That yell was even louder and higher.
"Beast Boy?" Cyborg asked.
"Beast Boy." Said Robin without a doubt.
Knowing that that Beast Boy had done something stupid to the tower, Robin and Cyborg sprinted into the living room. Robin spotted Beast Boy cowering behind the couch, wearing a bowl on his head and holding on to a spatula for dear life.
"Beast Boy, what are you..what DID you do?!" Said Robin as he saw what had become of the living room.
There were small yellow-ish white blobs everywhere. It was on the floor, on the walls, and on the couch. Cyborg looked towards the kitchen and saw the same blobs flying out at full speed.
"Don't just stand there! DUCK! Those things are dangerous!" squealed Beast Boy as he pulled Robin and Cyborg down.
"Dangerous!? How can they be dangerous?" Cyborg yelled.
Starfire floated into the living room, rubbing her eyes.
"Friends, I-" She was immediately cut off by something soft and sticky, which hit a direct bulls-eye at her face. She quickly wiped it off and became very confused.
"What is happening?"
"That's why.."
"BB here obviously did something idiotic!" Cyborg reported, pointing and the blushing, green changeling.
Starfire gracefully floated towards the kitchen, dodging anything flinging at her. When she got to the kitchen, she quickly saw the problem, turned off the stove, and went back into the living room.
"Friends, I have determined the problem! The pan that was on the stove was, I believe, getting angered and was trying to throw this ..blob.. furiously at our friend, Beast Boy." Starfire observed.
Robin stood up and crossed his arms, glaring at his green friend.
"Explain yourself," Robin demanded. He was now beginning to tap his foot impatiently.
"Uh..well, uh..you see" Beast Boy stammered.
"Hmm." Cyborg picked up the pan and observed it, "Seems like he was trying to cook.TOFU EGGS?! Ya trying to kill me??"
"No I wasn't and YES I was cooking TOFU EGGS! I got up early and decided to make a healthy breakfast for everyone.but then I-"
"You put too much cooking oil in it," Cyborg said, still holding the pan.
Raven had just walked into the room, reading a book.
"You don't even need cooking oil to make your so called 'eggs'," Raven sighed, "Which proves that you shouldn't be up before sunrise," she concluded.
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"No, I'm calling you-" Raven didn't have enough time to finish her insult when the huge television screen popped up, flashing red.
"Titans! Trouble, move out!" Robin yelled.
They all ran outside getting ready to take flight. Raven took in the pleasure of taking off first. Beast Boy turned into a hawk and lifted Cyborg off the ground, struggling at first. Starfire wasted no time in picking up Robin. When they got to the city, they spotted two guys dressed in black, running out of a technology warehouse, holding a small bag. Robin, who was still in Starfire's grasp, threw one single bird-a-rang, which with his almost, always accurate aim, snatched the small bag out of one of the crook's hand and pinned it to the ground. In a heartbeat, the Titans were in the ground getting ready for a possible attack. Strangely, the crooks just picked up the bag, after removing the bird-a-rang and just stood there.
"Please, must you take this technology from people who has done no harm to you?" Pleaded Starfire.
One of the black dressed guys, quickly reached into his pocket and threw a small marble-like ball on the concrete. Robin's eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of the surface of the tiny ball. There it was, the symbol of Slade. 'But we took down Slade over two months ago, it can't be' he thought. In that instant, black smoke exploded from the small ball and the burglars were gone.
"O..k.." Beast Boy was obviously confused.
"I'll go into the warehouse and figure out what was stolen." Said Cyborg as he walked in.
"That was fast," Raven said, "Well, whatever, let's just go home." Said Raven as she took off.
+ ++ + Back at the Titans Tower
Robin was pacing back and forth in the hallway with his arms crossed, looking down at the floor.
"Robin.." Robin was startled when he heard the voice. But he didn't have to turn around to find out who owned that angelic voice. But he did anyway.
He was soon face to face with his best friend.
"Hey Star.."
"Robin, what is the matter?" Starfire had a hint of worry and concern in her voice.
Robin sighed. He didn't want to tell her that he saw Slade's symbol on the marble and that he was back. He knew it would crush her. But he couldn't lie to her. She was his best friend.
"Well, Star..you see, when those baddies threw down the marble, I caught a glimpse of some symbol on it's surface.." He began to drift off.
"What kind of symbol was it, Robin?"
There were people in the world who could lie.
"The symbol, it um..well sort of an emblem..of Slade's."
Robin wasn't that kind of person.
He kept his eyes on Starfire and watched as her eyes narrowed. But it wasn't full of anger. It was full of hurt and sadness.
"Oh.." was all that Starfire could manage to say. 'He is going to break his promise.the promise that he made me' was the thought that kept running through her mind.
+ ++ + Flashback
"No! There's too much at stake for me to-" Robin was ready to go after Slade
"Robin.." Starfire's voice stopped Robin from running off. He turned to face her.
"I made a mistake, Starfire! It won't happen again. I can handle it, I promise!"
End Flashback + ++ +
Robin just kept staring at Starfire, who couldn't stand to look at him right now. She was having too many thoughts.
'This cannot be. We defeated Slade two months ago. How is it that he is back? Robin..why are you so obsessed with defeating him? You are only going to be pushing us away. The ones you mean to protect.'
She was so furious. But she didn't want to show it to Robin. She simply walked out of the room, leaving Robin standing there. Starfire walked into the living room and sat on the couch, next to Beast Boy who was, (A/N: You guessed it.) jumping up and down holding a controller, undoubtedly trying to beat Cyborg in yet, another racing game.
Cyborg noticed that Starfire, who was usually happy and perky, was quiet. He couldn't see her face because Beast Boy was between them jumping up and down, but he could tell. He was her friend after all.
"Yo, Star..you ok?"
Starfire just mumbled, "Mhmm." (A/N: I know she doesn't 'mumble' but hey, she's pretty depressed)
"Well, you know," Cyborg shifted due to Beast Boy's jumping, "if something's wrong, you," He shifted again. "can always talk to..DAMNET" he got fed up with all the jumping and pushed Beast Boy off the backside of the couch, who landed with a thud.
"Anyway, if something's bothering you, you can always come to me, aight?"
Starfire was a little surprised. She was used to seeing Cyborg always arguing with Beast Boy about video games or food. But what she needed more than anything right now, was someone to talk to.
"Well, Cyborg..do you remember how Robin would always be involved with his work all the time?"
"Yeah!" Said Beast Boy standing up from behind the couch. "Any mention of 'Slade' Robin would be stuck in his room all day doing nothing but work! And talk about cranky!"
"Hey BB, would you shut up?" Cyborg said
"I'm only telling the truth!" Beast Boy shot back, defensively.
"Well-"
"FRIENDS, thank you..for giving me your opinions." Starfire said over the arguing.
"No prob, but why do you ask?" Cyborg questioned.
"A while ago, Robin has told me that he has seen the symbol of Slade on the tiny sphere that one of the robbers dropped" Starfire explained.
"Well technically, he threw- OOF!" Beast Boy started, but was soon elbowed by Cyborg.
"And I am afraid that Robin will be again locked in his work." Starfire said.
"Oh..I see." Cyborg said.
Cyborg hated seeing Starfire always worrying about Robin. It was too much trouble for her. But Cyborg had a sixth sense about these things. From the beginning, he knew that Starfire felt a little something special for Robin. From the way she looks at him, the way she always cares and worries about him, and how she loves to spend time with him. Cyborg smirked. He also knew that Robin was feeling the same towards Starfire. It's written all over his face. There were a countless number of times when Cyborg would tease Robin. It usually wasn't pretty, like this one time.
+ ++ + Flash Back
"So..Robin, seen Starfire lately?" Cyborg added a little spice to Starfire's name.
Robin sensed that. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"What?"
"I heard the way you said her name..why are you emphasizing her name?"
"I didn't..you must be hearing things. Or is it..Robin's got a wittle crush on Starfire?"
"Do not.."
"Do too..don't deny. It's not healthy for your puny mind."
"Eh? Take that back"
"Not a chance, bird..by the way, what are you gonna name your kid? TwinkleWing?"
The teasing and the taunting gone on for several minutes until Robin couldn't take it. He dragged Cyborg into the bathroom and locked the door. Inside, Cyborg was tied to the shower and Robin was threatening to turn it on. It didn't end up too well.
End Flash Back + ++ +
Cyborg clenched his fist. He hasn't gotten back at Robin for that yet. Cyborg was too deep in his thoughts, he forgot about Starfire.
"Cyborg? DUDE! Are you gonna challenge me or am I going to have to beat you?!" Beast Boy's squeaky voice broke Cyborg's train of thought.
"Huh? Ain't no WAY you're gonna beat me!" Cyborg grabbed his controller and took control of the game. He didn't even notice Starfire walk out of the room.
"Perhaps they helped, but unfortunately that was not the help that I was seeking." Starfire said to herself. She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Robin carrying a bunch of newspapers and boxes.
"Hey Star..I umm, gotta work on..stuff, you know..Slade" Robin said, still feeling a ton of guilt.
"I understand," was all she said. She then walked to her room and shut the door. It was happening all over again.
