Chapter 10: Make Things Right
"What? Why?" Starfire asked, shock in her voice.
"It's difficult," Robin said.
"No it's not! We have already talked about things being difficult! Why does Bruce not want you to be with me? Do I have a disease? Am I the ugly?" Starfire asked.
"Star you're not ill and you're not ugly. He says not to get attached to anyone. I could endanger myself and you. Also you could be used against me, he wants me to be emotionless," Robin answered.
"Robin, I can't be used against you. You are wise enough to know to ignore me and do what needs to be done. Don't you?" Starfire asked.
"Starfire, I would protect you, not do the job," Robin answered truthfully.
"Robin if I am a distraction then we can not be," Starfire said, her voice full of sorrow. Starfire looked own at the ground as a single tear ran down her check.
"Starfire, weather I'm with you or not, I love you. For as long as I live I will protect you, no matter what," Robin said. He hugged Starfire and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Then I must leave you. Robin, Slade is still after you. If he finds out about us he will use me, against you. I will not watch you do bad things again because of me," Starfire said.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked.
"I can not and will not be a distraction Robin. I'm going to leave the Teen Titans," Starfire said before flying into the air and leaving behind Robin.
"Wait! Starfire! No!" Robin yelled. He started running down the street and back to his home. He raced into the front door and ran to Starfire's room.
"Starfire! Open the door!" Robin yelled as he banged on her door. Soon Robin got tired of waiting and kicked open the door. Robin ran into the room and searched everywhere for Starfire, but there was no sign of her. On the bed was a note, but that was all that was left of her. Robin picked up the note and ran to Bruce's office. Robin kicked open Bruce's door causing Bruce to yell at him.
"What the hell are you dong?!" Bruce yelled.
"She's gone! Because of what you said about being cold, she took it the wrong way and now she's gone!" Robin yelled.
"Well good! She only would have been a problem and distraction! Now fix my door and get over her," Bruce ordered.
"No! I loved her! The one person that stuck by me was her! And now because of you, she's gone!" Robin yelled and flipped over Bruce's desk.
"You can't be attached to people! It only causes problems! Now fix my door and my desk!" Bruce yelled.
"No! You want me to be like you! Why do you think I left in the first place?! You were cold and you still are! Non-caring! When I first told you I had a crush in the first grade you grounded me for a month! I'll never be like you!" Robin yelled before running out of Bruce's office once again. Bruce knelt down and picked up the piece of paper Robin had left behind.
'Robin,
I am sorry to say I must leave you now. I love you dearly, but I can't be a distraction. So I'm leaving and am going to start a life in Gothem. Please do not try to find me, I do not wish to be a problem.
Once again I will say I love you. You must find another love though, for I will not return. Please Robin, do not look for me. I love you dearly, but do not wish to anger your father and cause a problem.
Love,
Starfire'
Bruce walked out of the hall and over to the kitchen. He put down the note and got a glass of water.
"What kind of father am I?" Bruce asked himself.
"You're not my father," Robin said from a chair.
"Robin I'm sorry she left. I never meant for her to leave," Bruce said. He went over to where Robin was, but Robin stood up to face Bruce.
"You wanted her to leave. You don't care about me. You just want me to be cold and heartless. I hate you I'll never be like you," Robin stated before walking off to his room, fists clenched.
"Robin I truly am sorry," Bruce said. He left for the Bat Cave quickly after that, determined to make things right.
"Sir may I ask what you are doing?" Alfred asked from behind him. Bruce turned on the main computer and switched to the surveillance cameras around the city.
"I'm looking for Starfire. I want to make things right with Robin and the only way I can do that is by bringing her back," Bruce said. He looked at the cameras until he found her. Starfire was wandering the streets with her suit case, tears streaming from her emerald eyes.
"Found her!" Bruce cried out before leaving the computer. Alfred stayed there to watch the screen and sure enough, about 10 minutes later Bruce was there with Starfire. It took a little while for her to finally get in the car, but once she did Alfred left the car.
With Robin:
He lied on his bed, looking up at the dark red ceiling. He kept remembering the kiss, but his membrane stopped when somebody knocked on the door.
"Bruce go away!" Robin yelled at the door.
"Robin please open the door," a voice that Robin knew too well pleaded. Robin rushed to the door and threw it open.
"Starfire…."
