Chapter 7

After an unconscious Slade was taken into special care the titans headed back to the tower. They were all exhausted, Robin more emotionally than physically. He was going to have a long talk with Starfire when they got back. They all went in the T-car so they could get home. Robin sat in the back with Starfire helping her with her nose. He held her head back, and they all drove in silence. They got back to the tower and Robin helped Starfire inside while the others followed behind.

"Robin I'm fine," Starfire insisted. Robin had brought her to the medical wing to make sure she was okay with her whole body. She had told him she only had a bruises on her face and a bloody nose, but Robin had to know if she needed major medical help. Robin had ordered Cyborg to take all the same test three times, and nothing was wrong with her.

"Rob! Your girlfriend is fine! Now let her rest! Good God! explained an annoyed Cyborg. Robin froze.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" he yelled. Starfire rolled her eyes and jumped off the bed.

"Man you put a lot of enthusiasm in that Robin!" Starfire laughed. Cyborg smirked at an embarrassed Robin. "Well, I'm taking a shower and going to bed. G'night!"

As she walked out the door Robin stopped her. "We need o have a talk later," he said quiet enough for only her to hera. Starfire nodded and walked out the door.

When Starfire got to her room she grabbed a towel and got in the shower. She turned on the water as hot as it could go and relaxed. She washed her hair and body, and then got out. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. Walking over to her dresser she opened the pajama drawer and picked out a green tank top and black pajama shorts. Starfire fell and passed out on her bed.

Knock, knock, knock

Starfire awoke to knocking at her bedroom door. She looked over to her emerald green digital clock that read 3:30 a.m. Starfire had changed the style of her room to emerald green, aqua blue, and black. She groaned in annoyance as she pulled the covers off and walked to the door. She pressed the button to open the door.

Swish

There stood Robin in checkered pajama pants and a plain black t-shirt. He had wanted to talk to Starfire all night, but she never came so, him being Robin, got worried. He blushed as he saw her perfect slender body and long tan legs in the tank top and shorts she was wearing. Starfire noticed he was starring and blushed.

"Hi, mind telling me why you've come to my room at now three thirty two in the morning?" asked a very tired Starfire. Robin walked into her room without permission. She stared at him sitting on her bed. "Come in!" she said sarcastically.

"You promised we'd have a talk," said Robin. Starfire smacked her hand on her forehead.

"Oh my God, I forgot I'm so sorry!"

"It's fine. I know you were tired," said Robin while patting on the side of the bed next to him motioning for Starfire to sit next to him.

"What do you want to talk about?" asked Starfire. Robin's face got really serious.

"Please don't ever do that to me again,"

"Robin what are you talking about?" Starfire asked confused. Robin took her hand.

"I told you to stay at the tower, but you didn't listen, and almost d-died again," Starfire looked at him with sympathy.

"Robin you guys weren't doing so hot, so I helped," she said getting up and moving to the window.

"Star, you can't do that anymore," Robin sighed. Starfire snapped her head around.

"Oh so what, you're going to keep me from being a hero?" she asked in a pissed off tone.

"No, just keep you home from anything to serious," explained Robin. Starfire felt like she had just been smacked in the face. She is a HERO! Fighting all villains is her job.

"How can you say that! Fighting crime is my life! You can't do this!" Starfire yelled. Robin got up and walked over to her.

"I can do what ever I want Starfire!" Starfire slapped him across the face making him fall to the floor.

"And so can I," she growled. All of a sudden the ends of her hair caught on fire. She was some how gaining knowledge how to use new powers, yet she didn't know how to control them. She had just smacked Robin hard, and she didn't intend to. Her pajamas started to turn to a new suit. It was all black with short black leather shorts, a top that was like a bikini top except with a sweetheart neckline and made of leather. The straps were thick and tuned into a choker with an emerald hanging from it. On her arms were black arm bands, one on each arm. Her gloves were like her old ones except they were black and had emeralds at the ends. Last on her feet were black leather high heel thigh highs. The whole outfit showed most of her flat stomach.

Robin stared at her in awe. She looked beautiful, yet she looked horrified.

"Robin I'm so sorry! I need to get out of here for a while. She flew out the window making her way to the beach.

"Starfire wait!" Robin yelled out.


When Starfire got to the island there was no one there to her relief. She collapsed on the sand. Her outfit started to reveal little sparkly emerald flames. She laid her head back and sighed. How did this happen? She needed to learn how to use these, all of these new powers. She thought she was alone, but then she felt eyes on her. She turned around and saw a male figure standing behind a large boulder. She stood up with her starbolts in hand.

"Who's there?!" yelled Starfire.

"Hey there cutie," Starfire knew who that was.

"X what are you doing here spying on me!?" she asked. He came out and waked to her.

"Look I don't want to fight you," he said surrendering. Starfire lowered her starbolts. Starfire smiled in relief.

"Oh good, because I'm really not in a mood to fight you," Red X came and sat next to her.

"You look sexy in that outfit by the way," Red X commented. Starfire smirked. Of course he would say that. They both laid down looking at the stars. "You know i was devastated when I found out you had died," Starfire turned her attention from the stars to Red X.

"You were?" she asked. Red X rubbed his gloved thumb over her cheek.

"Yeah," he whispered. They both moved their hands so that they were holding. Red X finally asked his question "Would you ever go out with me?"

"I don't know if that's a good idea. Are you going to break my heart?" asked Starfire. Red X moved his face closer to hers.

"I would never break your heart," he whispered in her ear giving her chills down her spine. Starfire got her hand under his mask pulling it up showing his face. He had brown hair that swooped over to the other side of his forehead. He was tan, and had golden eyes. Starfire stared in awe.

"You have beautiful eyes." whispered Starfire. Red X pulled her closer.

"Not as beautiful as yours," he said before brushing his lips on hers. It was a sweet kiss. It felt right to Starfire, and specially Red X.

"You do know this has to be secret," said Starfire. Red X sighed with happiness.

"Hot!"

"So what should I call you?" asked Starfire.

"Jason,"
