Now it's Robin's turn! (Same dedications as before) Enjoy!

It will never happen again- Robin remembers his apprenticeship and Star's quick forgiveness

I didn't want to, but I did.
I joined Slade against my friends.
I swore my service.
I said I'd never talk to them again.
I promised him an apprenticeship.
He didn't count on Starfire, though.
I attacked Raven—no big.
I attacked Beast Boy—no sweat.
I even attacked Cyborg—no questions asked.
I thought Starfire would be a piece of cake.
I was never more wrong in my life.

We squared off on top of the "Wayne Enterprises" sign.
I had my thermo-blaster; she had her bolts.
I was prepared to fire; I could have shot her right then and there.
But then, so could she. I have expected her to.
But she didn't.
And I couldn't.
I told myself to do it, but I hadn't counted on this even happening.
I knew why I couldn't; I love her, pure and simple. She kept me from shooting her with her presence.
I didn't know why she didn't attack me until she lowered her arm and declared that I was her best friend,
that she didn't want to live in a world where we had to fight.
She willingly left herself vulnerable to my attack.
That was what really killed me.

I couldn't keep my peace anymore, not with her doing this to herself (and me).
Knowing Slade was watching, I stepped out of line and spoke to her---big mistake.
The next thing I knew, my friends were on their knees
and Star---my Star---was in my arms, dying because of me.
"I'm sorry".
That was the last thing I'd said to her
before I shot her and disappeared.
That did it.

Fed up already with Slade, I confronted him; not without getting my own tail kicked.
Then they came.
I tried to tell them to leave, that his probes would kill them all.
But they knew.
Cyborg figured it out.
They were here for me.
They said they knew
And they didn't care.
Star said they weren't leaving without me,
and she was right.
Now I'm back home
with the people most important to me---
my friends.
They understood I'd done it for them
and all was well that ended well.

I talked to Starfire.
She told me she was sorry because she doubted me.
But if anyone needed forgiveness, I did.
I gave her a reason to doubt me.
But that will never happen again.
Her trust in me is fully restored,
and, amazingly, she so quickly forgave me.
It was all in the past now.
Now I know without a doubt
she was sent to me.
I love her,
and she will never have any reason to doubt me again.

Author's Note: This was partly inspired by a quote from "The Princess Bride": (Buttercup) I will never doubt again. (Westley) There will never be a need. How do you like this one? (I know, it's a little long)
