GUESS WHO'S BACK
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. IT'S SUKINANOOOO0O0OOooOoOOOoOoo0oooO00O!
Why did I suddenly start writing again? Pfsh, as if I would know. I'm weird, that's why.
I haven't wrote in a long time, and since it's summer break, my brain is on vacation, so this chapter may be lacking some cool stuff and all. Welp, it's the best I'll ever do- at this age, anyway.
Thanks for the motivation to continue writing, ddproxcm. Though I am entirely late, I still kept that PM in mind since I've received it. Hopefully you're still out there to read this
Disclaimer:I'm a fartbag
Oh, and you guys probably already know this, but I don't even write a second draft. I just finish the last paragraph, laugh maniacally, kiss the screen, then publish. Pardon any weird sentences or any typos
"My name is no longer Starfire... Or Star for that matter," she answered with a hint of disgust. Robin still couldn't believe his eyes even though the girl was right there in front of him. His mouth kept opening, but only to close once again. Words won't come out. No matter how hard he tried. A sudden flash of green began charging towards Robin. His legs wouldn't budge and his mind was still blank. A sound finally escaped Robin when he was tackled by Cyborg, getting him out of the way of the starbolt. "Get it together, man," Cyborg shouted, which at last snapped some sense into Robin. He then held his arm up to his mouth. "Y'all better get here soon! Some serious stuff is going down here," he informed the other two Titans. "Roger," Beast Boy's voice returned.
Robin picked himself off the grass and grabbed his steel bar off the floor as he reverted back to Cyborg's side and assumed a defensive stance. Carefully, he took a single step forward. "Look, we can discuss this," Robin called out. Starfire did nothing but narrow her eyes in return. Robin made sure to stay cautious when he advanced forward once more. "Or we can just... forget this all happened and go back home. You'd like that, right?" Starfire remained silent. Robin swallowed hard and took a shaky breath. "Look, Starfire, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You hear that? I've been tearing myself apart for the last few days. I'm begging you, Star..." He took another breath. "Come home."
She shut her eyes lowered herself to the ground. "I told you..." Robin lowered his staff. "MY NAME IS NOT STARFIRE," she exploded, then started running at the speed of light towards Robin. "Look out," Cyborg shouted as he ducked, just in time to avoid Starfire's vicious kick. Robin leapt back and swiftly avoided another starbolt, followed by another, and another. Starfire threw quick punches at Robin, which were dodged with some difficulty. "I will NOT forgive you, I will NOT come home, I will NOT be called 'Starfire', and I will most certainly not EVER let you use me again!" With one final, hard swing, she managed to land a hit on Robin. She turned around quickly when she heard a blast, but could not evade Cyborg's cannon. She was sent flying into a tree with a loud grunt of pain. Starfire quickly recovered, kicked herself off trunk of the tree and bolted in Cyborg's direction, which was interrupted by a dark wall. Starfire stopped herself before she could run into it and turned her head to see that Raven and Beast Boy had arrived. "It's four against one. You can stop it now, or you can try to resist. It's your choice," Raven warned.
Starfire backed up steadily until she bumped into a playground see-saw. Without hesitation, she grasped the board and launched it at a deadly speed. Beast Boy transformed into an eagle and escaped from harms way of the incoming object. Everyone at once rushed towards Starfire, who remained calm and fought back. She was as agile as could be, with a starbolt sent here, and a powerful kick there. The Titans were astonished at Starfire's increase of combat skills. She sidestepped away from Cyborg's blast, caught the charging bull by the horns, hurled it at Robin, broke out of Raven's grip on her arm, shot a burst of energy from her eyes in Cyborg's direction, and struck Raven with a mighty punch. A large shadow was casted over the alien girl. She turned around and, being caught off guard by a flying projectile thrown by Cyborg, barely held back Beast Boy's giant elephant form. Robin took this opportunity and threw himself at Starfire's open defense. They both tumbled and rolled across the ground until Robin ended up on top with his fist readied high in the air. Starfire could've easily thrown Robin off of her, but instead waited for what would happen. The others ceased attacking and waited as well.
The boy stared down at the dramatically changed girl. Her face was the exact same, yet so different. This moment reminded Robin of the day he took Starfire out on a date at this very park. It all started coming back to him. After eating from the picnic basket, the two lied down on their backs, and after an hour of cloud gazing, he rolled over and was positioned above Starfire. He leaned down for an embracing kiss, one that marked their 2 year relationship official.
Robin experienced the same view from that day. Her maroon hair spread over the grass and everything. His fist loosened. He couldn't do it. Not to her. His arm lowered and a wide grin appeared on Starfire's face. She blasted Robin off with another discharge of energy from her eyes. He remained where he landed, silently blaming himself for being so gullible. His teammates resumed brawling as he dreadfully picked himself off the floor again. He swayed back and forth, a little disoriented and blinded by the bright and powerful attack. The blow wasn't too powerful, truthfully. It had just really affected Robin to know that she couldn't care less about his mercy. To know that she was the one to care so much about him when he was Slade's apprentice. To know that she had the nerve to strike him even when he refused to hurt her, regardless of being threatened of being killed if he weren't to attack. 'This isn't right,' Robin thought. 'I try everything I can to avoid hurting her, but she feels that she can hit me whenever she wants.' He wiped a small amount of dripping blood from his mouth with the back of his hand.
Robin tried not to put too much weight on his ankle which he sprained during the battle. He carefully limped towards the area where everyone was fighting, targeting Starfire. The world around him suddenly began moving slowly.
'I'm going way too easy on her, I know it'
He took a step forward.
'But still, I can't hurt her. Not any more than I already had that night.'
Another step. He watched Starfire's hair gracefully dance through the air in slow-motion as she fought.
'Even if it is unfair... I can't.'
Another step.
'Because... No matter how crazy she drives me sometimes...'
Another step.
'I will always...'
Another step.
'love her.'
Another step. Starfire hadn't noticed Robin as he approached from behind. She was too occupied holding back everybody else.
'And I know she loves me back. She can abuse me as much as she wants'
Another step.
'Because when she calms down...'
Another step.
'I'll be there... For her. To hold her.'
Another step.
'My only obstacle right now...'
Another step.
'Is Slade.'
Bringing up Slade's name infuriated Robin.
'As long as he's alive, he has power over Star- my Star... '
The thought of Starfire being Slade's possession was more than infuriating. He thrust his arm forward and heard a short yelp. He blinked and realized he was just a single foot away from Starfire. Her eyes were wide open. Everyone froze, shocked at the sight. Robin looked down at his hands.
The blade.
The one he had stored in his glove before he left the tower earlier. It's now buried in Starfire's back, blood starting to flow out. Starfire's knees hit the ground. Robin threw himself back. "I.. I-I," he stuttered, stumbling as he stepped back, tripping and landing on his bottom. Starfire hurriedly snatched an object off of her new belt and threw it at the ground. Smoke instantly filled the area and off flew the black and orange clad girl. She winced a little at the injury, but made a quick escape. "I will not forgive you. I will not come home," she whispered to herself as she retreated.
Raven and Beast Boy started going after. "Stop," Robin commanded. "That's enough," he added through his panting. "Let's get going." The two obeyed Robin. They knew he was feeling unstable from all of this.
Cyborg helped Robin up and into the car. Raven and Beast Boy sat in the back. Not a single word was said on the way home.
Whaddya guys think? Probably really sucks, right? Anyway, please review so I know that I'm not alone here and then continue onto chapter 8 without knowing I have no audience.
Ya'll still hate me because I cancelled the fic?
Heh, I deserved it. Go ahead and shower me in your hate.
