Starfire was shocked. She literally couldn't speak.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut, deciding…

Finally, she opened her eyes and downcast them, "I am sorry." She mumbled.
"Starfire. We don't have all day…" Red X prompted. Starfire cast her eyes at him, sending daggers. She shakily stood up and thought of joyful things, causing her to lift slightly off of the ground. She flew slowly over to one of the boys. She floated by Robin's side and placed a hand on his arm and smiled weakly. His heart fluttered at her touch and he shyly smiled back.
Her face turned cold and she looked over to Red X, eyes softening.
"I am sorry, but it is Robin. He will always take a bigger place in my heart than you." She said, softly. Robin blushed a light pink at her words but felt truly touched by her words.
Red X on the other hand wasn't sharing the same emotions. Not one bit.
"Fine." He bit out, the word dripping with hatred. He suddenly held up a button device of sort. Raven was waking up and saw the device and instantly wondered what it was. She got to her knees and noticed Beastboy and Cyborg unconscious. Red X smirked behind his mask.
"This kids, is a small trigger. There is a bomb under this hideout and your gonna be obliterated. Robin's eyes widened. He knew he would try and fight. He turned to Raven, who was looking up to him confused.
"Raven. Get yourself, Beastboy and Cyborg outta here." He ordered her.
"What about you and Starfire?" She replied.
"We'll fight him off. We'll be fine. Go." He told her. Raven nodded and enveloped herself Beastboy and Cyborg in black energy and vanished without a word. Robin turned from her when he heard a gasp escape from Starfire's lips.
Red X had his thumb on the button.
"Lights out, kids." He said, pushing down on the button. He pushed his button on his belt at the same time and disappeared.
The was a tick, tick, tick coming from the ground and getting faster.
Robin also gasped and the ticking stopped. Robin braced for the impact.
"NO!" Starfire cried, jumping in front of Robin and suddenly putting her hands out. Robin watched the princess as she created a light green shield around herself and Robin.
No impact came.
The explosion cleared.
So did the smoke.
Robin opened his eyes and saw the building had indeed exploded but, al he saw was a roof just about standing and a lot of rubble.
Suddenly, the brave Starfire made a small moan and fell down to the ground.
"Star!" Robin cried, reaching out and catching her. She wasn't awake. She wasn't breathing. Robin hoped he was wrong about his conclusion. His heart sank with relief when he felt a small pulse in her wrist.
"Starfire? Starfire!" He kept saying it. He brushed the auburn hair out of her face and discovered dark blood was dripping down her forehead and her cheek was bruised. He gasped for what seemed like the hundredth time. He quickly brought her up into his arms bridal style, making sure her head was protected against his chest.
"Let's get you out of here, Star." He whispered, kissing her cheek. He called Raven.
"Robin. Are you alright?" She asked.
"Yeah but Starfire isn't. Can you come and get us? She isn't conscious." He said. Before he could say anymore, Raven appeared next to him.
She didn't say anything but her eyes softened when she noted Starfire. She held up her hands and the three of them disappeared in darkness.
They reappeared in the sick bay. Robin never left Starfire's side.
Cyborg arrived and looked her over, "Little lady took a big hit."
"I know. She used the last bit of her powers to protect us…" Robin said, quietly, feeling guilty. Robin decided to leave for a little while, letting Cyborg do what he needed to. He went into his room and without thinking, he drifted off to sleep.
..::22:45pm::..
Robin shot up from his desk where his slumbering head was moments ago, slightly sweaty and panting. He had been having a dream that Red X actually did manage to hurt Starfire and Starfire lost…
He stood up abruptly and went into the sick bay. His heart rate sped up. She wasn't there!
Robin tried not to panic and walked calmly into the Ops room where Raven was reading and Beastboy and Cyborg were engulfed in a racing marathon. "Where is Starfire?" Robin asked, sharply.
"Huh? Oh, Star? She's up on the roof, she's-" Cyborg stopped as he heard the ops room door swoosh shut.
"fine." He finished...
