OH! And in this story, Robin is taller than Starfire…for future reasons.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTeenTitansTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"WHAT?" Robin nearly shouted, startling the other titans.
Starfire tilted her head to the side, showing she was confused. "Robin, I had merely asked if I could partake in the mission," she said anxiously.
"Yeah, dude, and it's a perfect idea!" Beast Boy said and grinned at Starfire, "You'll be awesome at it! We can get you new clothes, do your make-up, get your hair done-,"
"NO," Robin interjected sternly, "She's not going."
Cyborg raised an eye-brow at the leader and took a step closer to him.
"Why not?" Cyborg asked.
Robin suddenly stopped moving…and breathing. "Well…she's-I-you…she…I can't-…I…we…you-" Robin kept stuttering.
"Robin," Starfire began, "we need someone to discover the true purpose for the Versonicaine. If Raven can not do it…then why can't I?"
Robin was still frozen in shock. When he recovered, he shook his head quickly, trying to clear his thoughts. "Starfire…" his voice broke in mid sentence, "…I just…don't want my… best friend to get hurt."
"Then why did you suggest Raven?" Beast Boy challenged, "She's your best friend too. Why did you offer her to go into a dangerous mission?"
Robin's jaw strained tight and his eyes narrowed. "Because she knows this town better than Star does. She could-,"
"We could give Star directions," Beast Boy snapped crossing his arms.
"But Raven has been on Earth longer!"
"We can tell her what to do and what to say…she'll be fine."
"But-,"
"Dude," Beast Boy sighed, "Why can't you just believe in her? We've all known her for a really long time and we know what she is and isn't capable of. You just have to trust and respect her…and it's not that hard…you know her better than that."
Robin's body went stiff. Beast Boy was right. One hundred percent, totally correct.
"Fine," Robin hissed between his teeth, "I agree with what you're saying, but I am not happy with it at all. If she gets hurt-,"
"Robin," Raven said calmly, "she can take care of herself."
He nodded once as he looked Starfire directly in the eyes, her glistening green orbs.
"You're…sure you want to do this?" He was surprised how calm and reasonable his voice sounded. It must have been because he was so numb in fear of his Star getting hurt.
Well…she wasn't his Star, exactly…but…he was sure that he couldn't live without her.
Starfire smiled lightly and nodded. "I wish to be helpful for the mission."
Robin closed his eyes tightly and opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off due to Beast Boy and Cyborg taking Starfire by the arms and dragging her out of the room.
"C'mon," Cyborg said excitedly, "We have to get you ready before 7:30."
Starfire giggled lightly as she let her two friends carry her away to prepare her for her mission, leaving Robin and Raven in the common room.
Robin shook his head angrily and let an angry huff escape his lips.
"If I knew she was going to offer herself, I wouldn't have said no," Raven said.
Robin nodded curtly and sat down at the computer and started to type up the mission for a file.
"Robin," she said quietly, "you're going to have to tell her before it's too late. Either you're going to go completely insane or…she's going to find someone else, leaving you miserable and depressed."
Robin didn't turn his head; he continued to pound furiously on the keyboard.
Raven bit her lip as she turned to the door and walked out; Robin remaining on the computer.
He stared blankly at the screen, his hands gripping the table in frustration.
"It's my fault she even offered to go," Robin thought to himself, "And I couldn't let her go because I'm scared she'll get hurt…right? I mean, Raven's my best friend too, but Star is different…ugh…Raven's right …" He shook the thoughts away from his mind and continued his work.
--
"I ruined everything!" Starfire cried restlessly and flopped gracelessly onto her bed on her back. "He is clearly angry with me and I did not wish to anger him, I am only trying to be useful!"
"Don't worry about it Star," Cyborg sat down beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Robin's to chicken to admit that he doesn't want to let you go because he loves you so much that he doesn't want anything to happen to you."
Starfire shook her head and turned away from Cyborg. "He can not possibly-,"
"I wouldn't be so sure," Raven entered into her room, carrying a light supply of hair tools and make-up.
"Yeah!" Beast Boy followed, his voice was somewhat smothered due to the enormous mountain of clothes Raven must have piled into his arms, "He totally likes you!"
Starfire quickly sat up and blushed profusely as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"We are…best friends…He does not-,"
"Yes, he does," Raven said casually as she turned to Starfire, smirking mischievously as she held up a hair brush and a curling iron, "And we can prove it too."
Beast Boy and Cyborg grinned as they watched Raven take Starfire and situate her in front of her vanity mirror.
"But, Raven," Starfire asked timidly, "What…if Robin dislikes the way I look? What If he thinks I look…ugly?"
Cyborg and Beast Boy exchanged an amused glance at each other before they threw their heads back and laughed exuberantly while Raven pressed her lips together, trying to hide her amusement as she began to brush Starfire's hair.
--
"ROBIN! GET UP TO STAR'S ROOM, NOW!" Beast Boy's voice came through the intercom and then clicked off.
Robin looked at the clock on the bottom of the computer screen. 7:06. He sighed as he pushed himself away from desk and trudged up to her room.
--
The iron door leading into Starfire's room slid open swiftly and he let himself in. He looked around for her, but he only saw Beast Boy and Cyborg standing in the middle of the room.
Robin's brow furrowed in confusion as he leaned his back against the wall, "Where's Starfire and Raven?"
Beast boy and Cyborg glanced at each other and then looked back at Robin.
"Raven's just fixing Star's hair one last time," Beast Boy grinned.
Robin raised an eye-brow angrily. "Why is her hair getting done? She's only going to a bar… and besides, she looks-," Robin stopped himself before he said something he would have to deny indignantly.
Cyborg grinned and crossed his arms. His face was then struck by sudden realization, "Oh! I have to run to my room and get a camera set for her," Cyborg said as he walked by Robin, smirking as he left.
"Raven," Beast Boy called lightly, "Is she ready yet?"
"Yeah," Raven said as she carefully maneuvered herself out of the bathroom, making sure not to spoil Starfire's entrance.
"And now, introducing…," as Beast Boy was announcing, Cyborg hurriedly returned, "the newly transformed Starfire!"
The door handle turned quietly and opened slowly. Starfire stepped out of the room sheepishly while receiving smiles from Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven…and Robin, however, didn't smile back.
Robin's eyes widened as much as they could go, his palms suddenly getting clammy. His heart was pounding and racing expeditiously, thoughts in his mind were racing and adrenaline rushing hot in his veins.
She was going to a bar…dressed like that. Robin swallowed thickly at the thought.
Her fiery red hair was curled, almost looking like…seductive waves, caressing her back, while she was wearing black eye-liner, which made her eyes stand out tremendously (which they already do anyway). She was wearing a silky black tang-top which was covered with black lace and a skirt that wasn't tight around her hips; it flowed around her waist, letting her walk graciously without any struggle. Because of the length and style of the skirt, her smooth tanned legs looked sexy and muscular; not lanky and long.
He stared at her dubiously for a moment before opening his mouth to speak, "W-wow…," he stammered. Robin groaned inwardly. Smooth. Very Smooth.
Starfire giggled quietly as she smiled and twirled around, showing everyone full view of her body. "It…is acceptable?" She asked.
"Yeah!" Beast Boy chimed.
"You look great!" Cyborg mused, smiling at Robin's reaction.
"Very acceptable," Raven smiled.
They turned to Robin and he didn't answer. He was still staring at her, gazing at her flawless face. "Star…you look…nice," he managed to choke out
Her smile lit her whole face, her eyes gleaming with happiness. "Thank you Robin," she said quietly.
Robin grimaced. He could have said many other compliments… he wasn't that brave.
"Okay…," Cyborg began, "we,"-he motioned to him, Raven, and Beast Boy-, "have to get some stuff ready before she goes. You can put the camera on her." Cyborg handed Robin the microscopic camera and the three walked out of the room.
There was an awkward silence between Robin and Starfire after the three titans left.
Robin looked at the palm of his hand and saw the camera in it. He fiddled with it for a minute, not saying anything.
"I hope that I can perform the mission well, it would disappoint me if I failed," she said finally. She looked at him, expecting him to nod and say that she will be great. Instead, he shook his head and frowned at her, "You're really going through with this…aren't you?" He asked almost darkly.
She nodded and innocently smiled at him.
He was furious. He didn't want to see her all over this guy trying to get information and then come back like there was no problem. How was she so…confident in the mission?
Robin's jaw hardened as he took a step toward Starfire with the camera in-between his fingers.
"Alright…let me...just get the camera on you…," he said through his teeth. She nodded in approval as he hesitantly lifted the right strap of her shirt to secure the camera.
His fingers shook slightly as he secured it, feeling nervous being in such close proximity's to her. He could clearly smell that she was wearing floral perfume, infuriating him even more.
He shook his head angrily as he twisted the tiny knob on the camera to turn it on and replaced the strap back on her shoulder.
"I wish you won't do this," Robin muttered and looked at the floor.
Starfire gave a small nod and took his cheek, bringing his masked eyes to hers. "I wish to help. I will be okay. Everyone will be watching. I am still not quite sure what goes on in the bars that serve alcohol, but I will learn as I proceed through the mission."
He inhaled deeply. "But…Starfire…you can't," his voice was disbelieving, and she understood what he meant.
"Why do you not wish me to go, Robin?" She asked exasperated.
Robin's breath caught in his throat once more. What was he going to say? Again? He can't say, "Starfire, you can't go because I love you so much that you could get hurt", because life doesn't work that way for him anymore.
Robin slammed his eyes shut and clenched his fists at the sides…for he knew that he was going to hurt her in mere seconds, but he saw no other option.
"I…don't…think…you can do it," he mumbled.
Her eyes widened with shock and disbelief. Her stomach dropped in her stomach as she gasped inaudibly.
"You…," she couldn't form coherent sentences, "…I thought…you would have faith in me." She said, her voice traced lightly with agony.
Robin opened his eyes and looked at her emotionless.
"Not this time." His voice was strained, but somewhat triumphant in what he had accomplished.
Starfire shook her head in bewilderment. Robin…her Robin…was completely destroying her in almost every way.
Her stomach was about to convulse as she looked at him, her eyes filled with sadness.
"…Why?" She asked, trying not to look like she was sulking, but was a horrible attempt since she felt like her heart was taken out by Robin's bare hands. She hadn't realized that the moisture in her eyes had brimmed over. She briskly ran her fingers across her cheek, wiping away some of the tears.
"…What if…," his voice burned with regret, "…what if you get drunk? You wouldn't know what you are doing around him! You've only been around Cyborg, Beast Boy, and I! Do you even know how to act around guys?" Robin's eyes widened again for the millionth time that night. He did not just blurt that to her.
Suddenly, the tears stopped instantly. She stared at him darkly. "You think…that do not know how to act around a man?"
Robin gulped. "Well…," he blushed slightly, "I've only seen you around the team…so…I don't know if you could…act around a-a…man."
She glared at him, not breaking her gaze once. Until, her face softened as she smiled haughtily, crossing her arms. She shook her head and let out a breathy giggle.
Robin quirked an eye-brow. Why was she laughing?
Suddenly, her eyebrows raised suggestively.
"Do you honestly believe you're the only man I kissed?" She asked in an almost sultry voice, "because some kisses were not merely the transfer of knowledge."
Robin reeled back as though she had slapped him. She couldn't have…right? Robin knew Starfire was the nicest, sweetest, most beautiful person in the galaxy…
"But…Starfire-," He was suddenly cut off by Starfire as she moved loser to him and brought her face closer to his.
"Why am I doing this?" Starfire thought, "Why does he honestly believe that I can not do this…even though I don't have that much experience with boys."
So thinking quickly, she slid her hands up Robin's chest, barely touching it with her fingertips. She then placed one hand on the back of Robin's neck while the other hand airily touched the hallow base of his throat.
Her nose trailed across his jaw line to his ear. She then lifted her head slightly, bringing her lips to his ear, breathing lightly on it, causing Robin to shudder beneath her.
"I believe I know how to handle a man, Robin," she murmured, "have faith in that."
She pulled away from him hesitantly as she saw Robin's face. He blinked a couple of times is disbelief. "Starfire…was right," he admitted inwardly, "she…knows…what she's doing."
His plan back fired. Now, she was even more confident in the mission; something he was trying to prevent. He contemplated for a moment; trying to find a way for her not to go.
She smiled sadly as she walked away from him to grab her black purse on the dresser.
"Thank you for all of your support, Robin," she said coolly as she practically ran out of the room in tears.
Robin remained in her room, frozen in place.
"Please Star…be safe," Robin said, the words came out in a whisper, "Please come back to me."
