Chapter 10

"This is bad."

"What is?" Starfire asked panicked. "What is happening to her?"

Cyborg continued to type in on the computer monitor, assessing Raven's condition. After a while Raven is composed and had stopped from her convulsion.

"She's alright for now." Cyborg said and looked at Raven. "We didn't think of her nature." He said.

"What nature?" Robin said, and then suddenly realized what Cyborg is talking about. "She's half demon." He stated.

"Her body is rejecting the blood that we gave her. I thought we were right because her blood type was exactly just the same." Cyborg explained to them.

"So what do we do now?" Beast Boy asked.

"I don't know but we have to act fast enough. She'll have another convulsion again later and it will deteriorate her body if we didn't solve this problem fast."

They are all formed into a small circle, discussing Raven."How about doctors?" Beast Boy asked.

"Do we have doctors for half demon? That would be good then." Cyborg said sarcastically.

"Do we need to get demon blood?" Beast Boy asked again. "This is serious Beast Boy! How can you joke around like that?"

"I am not joking. I am thinking of every way possible. I would never joke about Raven!" He said then there was silence.

"I can contact the JLA. Maybe they could help us." Robin said.

"I will also contact Tamaran to see-" Starfire's words were cut off by Zatanna.

"I can help." Everyone looked at her. "I can help her." She continued.

"How?" Beast Boy asked.

"I'm a healer too just like her. I think I can save her but it would be very dangerous." She said.

"What do you need to do?" Robin asked her.

"I need my soul to enter her and then stabilize her blood flow. I never had encountered a demon in my life so I do not know exactly what to do but we can try. When she's stabilized maybe I can force the blood through her bloodstream."

Everyone nodded. "Are you sure about this?" Robin asked her. Zatanna looked in everyone's eyes.

She nodded. "I am."

"Thank you." Beast Boy said to her.

"Don't thank me yet. I'm not sure if this would work." She looked at Robin. "I'll do everything that I can." She hugged him. Starfire felt jealous and was more jealous when Robin hugged her back but she erased that idea to her mind. She shouldn't feel jealous and now is not the right time.

They let her lay at the bed next to Raven's and then she closed her eyes. "What do we need to do now?" Beast Boy asked and Zatanna opened one of her eyes to look at him. "Just wait and do nothing and if possible...you, be quiet."

"Alright." Zatanna then closed her eye again and fall into her deep sleep using her magic.

"I do hope this works." Starfire said. She gathered her things and sat in a seat near the two girls so she could watch them. Starfire was very tired and this wasn't helping her at all.

"Star, you can rest. I'll watch them." Beast Boy said to her and grabs a chair, so he can also sit.

"No. I want to know what is happening. I am fine." She said and yawned after.

"Are you sleepy?"

"A little but I am fine." Cyborg walked to them after finishing the system monitors. Robin followed him. "Everything's fine for now I guess. Let's just wait what will happen next."

She nodded and looked around. Robin was there with his back leaning against the wall, looking as serious as he usually does. He seriously looks handsome in what he's wearing. He doesn't have his uniform on.

They didn't talk again after their argument. Starfire was losing hope if they will ever fix their issues.

She stood up and went at the window to look at the distant sky. She was thinking about the responsibilities she had left on Tamaran and the topic of marriage that was talked about. She sighed deeply. Galfore really needs to be back as the grand ruler. Being grand ruler is very difficult and a burden.

She doesn't want to marry anyone who she doesn't want to. The nobles and the highest ranks of Tamaran would probably be her most problem if they didn't understand.

After all this is done and when Galfore is the grand ruler again, maybe she can fix her problems with Robin. They can still be friends again like they used too.

She looked at the two girls sleeping. They seem calmed. Hopefully, Zatanna would be successful.

Zatanna. She was so surprised when she saw her especially when she was holding Robin's hand. Why is she holding Robin's hand? Does she feel something for him? Does Robin feel something for her too?

And there was Robin who was really making her confused. She didn't know what happened while she was gone but the Robin that she used to know was completely different to the Robin he talked to a few hours ago. Did he change in those months that she left?

It was nearly the crack of dawn and still nothing big happened. They were stable. Thankful for that. They didn't expected it to be this long so they had slept there. Beast Boy, in his cat form was in Starfire's lap sleeping, as well as Starfire who was leaning her head on Cyborg who was sleeping too. Robin was across them on another chair, sleeping also.

The beeping sound that they heard last night sounded again. They all jerked up from their seat and rushed to check. Beast Boy was back in his human form and went to Raven. Last night Raven convulsed, now not only was she the one convulsing, Zatanna too. Both girls were convulsing and they didn't know what to do.

"What are we gonna do?" Beast Boy asked.

"I don't know! I don't know what to do, okay?" Everyone was hysteric. "Cyborg, what are their vitals?" Robin asked.

"It's bad. I don't know what's happening and this is not like last night. I can't control them anymore."

Starfire's hands feel Zatanna's forhead. "She is feeling hot. Does she have the fever?" Robin checked for himself. "She is. Cyborg, get our supplies. Zatanna might not make it if she continues this."

"How do we make her stop?"

"I don't know."

Zatanna was constantly convulsing and looked very helpless. Suddenly, blood was coming from her nose.

"Xhal. Her nose is bleeding." She quickly gets tissues and wiped off the blood from her nose.

"Why is she having a nose bleed?" Robin asked. Cyborg picked up a small vial and injects it to Zatanna. "That would help her."

"How about Raven?" Beast Boy asked. Before they could react, the convulsions stopped suddenly and Zatanna's eyes slowly opened.

"She's waking up." Robin said and leaned to her. Zatanna was fully awake and started to sit up.

"How are you?" Robin asked her. She looked so weak to speak. Instead of answering him, she burst out crying in tears and hugged Robin as tight as she could. He hugged her back and consoled her in his arms, touching her back as she cried.

Starfire looked away as the scene before her pains her to see.

Zatanna lifted her face from Robin's shoulders and wiped away her tears. "Are you okay?" Robin said.

"I...I am fine now but it was very hard for me to do. I was so...scared and...I feel like I'm so beat up." She said and her nose started to bleed again.

"You're bleeding again." Robin stated.

"I am?" Robin nodded and gets a tissue from Starfire. He locked eyes with Starfire even with his mask on. Robin proceeded to wipe off blood from Zatanna's nose.

"Are you successful?" He softly asked and she nodded.

"Even though it is very hard for me, I was successful. She should be fine by now." Robin looked to Cyborg and nodded.

Cyborg checked Raven's condition. He looked to the others and smiled. "We've got through the worst. She's perfectly fine now." He then looked at Zatanna. "Thank you."

Zatanna weakly nodded and Robin assisted her to stand up.

"I want to take a shower." She said.

"Just be back here after, I'll check on you." Cyborg said.

"Can you shower yourself?" Robin asked her. "Why, are you going to shower me?" Starfire was stoned at her words, thinking about what she had said.

Zatanna laughed at Robin's reaction. "I'm just joking around, making the mood feel light."

"Starfire could assist you if you want."

"No, I'm fine. I'm a grown up woman not a baby." She said. "But you can walk me to my room." She smiled at him, a flirty one.

Starfire can't help feeling mad but she had to endure this. No. This should not affect her. She was not that teenager anymore. She's matured enough to think straight.

Robin had gone with Zatanna. She looked at Raven. Thankfully, she was alright. All they have to do is waiting for her to wake up.

"Come on, Star. Let's eat. You haven't eaten anything since last night and you look pale." Cyborg said and she followed him through the door.

"I am? Will Raven be alright?"

"Yes. Beast Boy will look after her while we eat." She nodded and they walked in the kitchen. She sat in a stool and watched Cyborg cook. "Let's just have something easy to cook." He said and she nodded.

"Star?"

"Yes?"

"Are you alright? You really look pale." Cyborg asked concern.

She touched her face. "Perhaps, I am just hungry."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Cyborg was done and he placed two bowls of hot soup in the table and some toast. They began eating in silence. He looked at her and she noticed it.

"What is it?"

"I had to ask you something"

"What?"

"Are you alright? You know...with Robin."

"I am...well, we are not fine. I had hopes on fixing this with him but...I don't know. I do not understand Robin anymore."

"I completely understand you especially with how he's acting right now." He continued eating. "But, you still love him don't you?"

"It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love."

"Wow. That was a deep one."

"I do not understand when Earthlings says that it is deep. It is what I honestly feel and think of."

"I believe you. I just hoped he come back to his senses and know

They are done eating and were preparing to go back to the medical bay. Robin came from the door and joined them walking to the medical bay.

"How is she?" Cyborg asked.

"She's fine. I left her so she can shower and rest." They had arrived and found Beast Boy.

"Is Raven okay?" Starfire asked.

"I think so. She's sleeping peacefully."

Starfire sat on the bed next to Raven's. They were all silent. They are all very tired and hadn't gotten enough sleep. It would be fine to take a nap now that Raven was perfectly fine. Any moment now, she would wake up and Starfire wanted to be there when she wakes up.

She lie on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. It was okay for her to take a nap since Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin are awake to look for Raven. After a few minutes, she had dozen off to her power nap.

Robin was looking at the sleeping Starfire. She looks so peaceful. She was covered with white sheets while hugging a pillow beside her.

He looked at Beast Boy who was sitting on a chair. It was like he was guarding Raven's every movement. He really loves Raven. Robin can see that with how he acts toward her.

How did he act with Starfire? All he could remember was the yelling and cursing he had done to her. He could remember what he had said to Raven, which caused her into tears and that was the very first time that they had seen Raven, crying. She was crying because she was hurt by the words he said about Starfire.

He's realizing it all now. The words he can't take back and the girls she had hurt. Of course, Beast Boy and Cyborg was also mad at him too. He breathed deeply, knowing that clearly this is his entire fault. No one was to blame but him alone. He stood up from his seat and went to the kitchen. It was 8: 00 a.m. now.

Zatanna came in and went to him. "Did you sleep?"

"Yes I have. I am totally okay now. All I needed was a real good sleep." She said and sat on a stool.

"Good to hear that." He poured himself a glass of water.

"I was so scared. I thought I cannot come back." Her face suddenly turned serious. She looked at him and hesitated if she will continue her words. "Um...I thought I wouldn't see you. You're the reason I did come back because I know when I opened my eyes, you will be there for me. And you did."

Robin didn't know what to say. Is she confessing to him? "I was there and I'm thankful that you're okay."

She smiled at what he said. "Robin...I will be honest with you. I think...I'm starting to have feelings for you." She said and holds her breath, waiting for what he has to say.

"Don't." He said sternly with no emotions on his face.

"What do you mean don't?" Her smile faded, not wanting his reaction.

"Zatanna, you can't. Don't have the feelings with me. I can't give it to you." He said and looked away.

"Why? Is there someone else?"

"That is a very personal question." He said.

"Isn't what we're talking about, personal?" She said. "Why don't you just answer me? I asked Starfire and she said that it's better if I asked you myself but I always get this answer from you."

He sighed and didn't answer her.

"Is it Starfire?" He knew the answer to her question and yet he chose to be silent. "So it is Starfire then. That alien chic, huh?" He didn't say anything, confirming her conclusion.

"Very well, fine with me." She said and stood up from her seat, leaving Robin behind.

Robin had no intentions of following her. If she's mad, then let her. Zatanna added up to his problems is the last thing he would ever want. He returned to the medical bay and Starfire was still sleeping.

The Titan's alarm sounded and made Starfire awake. She stood up from her bed and rubbed her eyes.

"I'll stay here for Raven, you guys go." Beast Boy said and they nodded in return.

They had arrived at the crime scene. It was just Control Freak that made the alarm rang. Not a big problem. The four of them including Zatanna stopped on the road. Control Freak was making a traffic jam as he made a scene on the road.

"I hate Control Freak, always making a scene!" Cyborg said and loaded his sonic canon and blasted Control Freak. Control Freak had finally noticed them around.

He started clicking things through his remote that made the things around alive and kicking. The team separated and went to fight the things he had clicked.

"Etaerc GrobyC snoisulli!" After Zatanna, had chanted those words, there were too may Cyborgs that appeared.

"Wow! I didn't know I had many brothers!" Cyborg said as he looked at an army of him. He then charged his way to Control Freak.

Starfire above the air lit up starbolts at her hands and shoots Control Freak who had shielded his body with cars around him. Control freak made a run and they chased him.

At their past fights back then without Zatanna, Starfire always assisted Robin through their fights. Lifting him through the air or catching him whenever he falls. Today, it was Zatanna who does that for him. They were fighting side by side like Cyborg and she wasn't there.

While looking at the two, she hadn't noticed the car that was to be thrown at her. She didn't manage to get out as fast as she can. She ended up with her foot, trapped down. She was feeling the pain jolted through her body.

Looking around her, everyone was so busy fighting. She doesn't have to be a damsel in distress at this time. Summoning her strength, she pushed the car away from her foot. There was blood at her foot caused by a cut. She tried her best not to feel the pain and ignore it, but her foot was painfully throbbing.

She tried to stand up but can't. She opted to flying instead. The drop of bloods was leaving a trail as she flies.

Cyborg had taken down most of the enemies but Control Freak with his remote, kept on clicking and clicking around. Not far from her, she saw Zatanna falling out of her balance and was about to drop hard on the ground but Robin managed to catch her before she could fall.

She gathered her strength to fight the last batch of enemies so they could return to the tower fast enough so she could fix her foot. Feeling her strength was unusually leaving her, she landed to the ground with her other foot not touching the floor. She clutched the railings for support and sat on the curb at the road side while waiting for the others.

She inspected her wound. The bleeding had slowly stopped but the pain was still good as new. After a few minutes, the team regrouped. Cyborg noticed Starfire was missing.

"Where's Star? I haven't seen her around." He said looking around for her. Starfire floated to them. "I am here." She landed and hid her foot behind her other.

"Are we leaving?" She said and hiding the pain in her voice.

"Yes. Come on." Cyborg said as he walked to his car followed by Zatanna. Starfire chooses to fly rather than to ride the T-car. She started to fly but then Robin called her.

"Starfire!" She turned her head to look at him.

"Yes, Robin?"

"Come down here." He said looking up at her. Hesitating, she followed him and landed on the ground. He bent on one knee to inspect her wound.

"It's nothing really serious...ow." He touched her foot. She put her hand on his shoulder as she was losing her balance.

"God, Starfire! How come you didn't say anything?"

"I can endure it." He didn't say anything and grabbed her hand.

"Wait." Starfire stopped him. "I cannot walk right now. I will just fly. I will meet you at the tower."

"Can you fly?" He asked and she nodded.

Starfire was the first one to arrive at the tower. She went first to check on Raven.

"She's fine, Star. Don't worry." Beast Boy said to her as she sat on the bed. He noticed the blood on her foot.

"What happened? It looks bad." Beast Boy asked with a worry on his tone. He went to the medicine cabinet and got some supplies. When he turned back, Robin was there.

"Dude, you're scaring me off!" He said as he clutched his chest.

"Thanks." Robin said as he gets the supplies from Beast Boy's hands. He walked up to the sitting Starfire and pulled her up.

"But we can-" Starfire said but he was cut off by Robin.

"We need to talk."

Starfire looked at Beast Boy and he nodded at her. Starfie also wanted to talk to Robin. She followed him to his room. He opened the door and he let her enter first. After her, he followed. Starfire was awkward being in his room. She doesn't know if she were to sit or stand there. Robin seems to understand her dilemma.

He sat on the edge of his bed and tapped the space beside him. Starfire floated down to sit beside him.

It was just pure silence that surrounding them. She doesn't know what to say or how to start. Robin is busy preparing the medical supplies. When he's done, he bent on one knee on the floor and checked her foot.

He looked at her for her reaction but she kept on maintaining a passive appearance. He started to clean the cut of her foot. Wincing in pain, she bit her lip to hide it

"Sorry." He said when he noticed that Starfire was in pain.

"It is fine. Just finish it quickly please." He nodded and returned his attention to her foot. She kept on wriggling her foot when she feels pain. Raven was still sleeping for her to heal Starfire and Zatanna was still in a bad shape, so her foot should heal the natural way.

When he's done cleaning it, he wrapped her foot in a bandage cloth. Gathering the used supplies, he tossed it in the trash can on his bedroom.

Starfire was silent and looking at the floor, waiting for Robin to speak. "Sorry." He later said. She was silent because she knows what he is saying sorry for. "I'm really sorry Star. I'm such a jerk."

"You are truly the jerk." She said and she looked at him. He was staring at the floor like she used to do.

"I don't know how to start. I've done really bad things these past days and all I can say is I'm sorry." She let him continue.

"I've realized the things I've done and how totally wrong I am. I won't say it one by one but I really just wanted to say sorry." He sighed deeply.

"I know and I understand you are sorry. You do not have to keep on repeating it." She said full of understanding in her voice.

"It's just...I feel so guilty and by just saying sorry won't make it any less." He looked at her. "Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg are mad at me. I can't blame them and I don't hate them for it. It's totally fine." He paused and continued.

"There was also Zatanna. They're mad at me because I put her on the team without their knowledge. They think I'm replacing you."

"When I learned about her, I also thought that you have the intentions of replacing me too." She said.

"No! I would never do that to you."

"I know but...the way you acted...I'm sorry for thinking it that way. Zatanna had told me everything."

"Everything?" He questioned her and she nodded.

"Yes. She told me why she came on this team. Do not worry. If you only said your reasons to Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg, I am sure they will understand you." She explained.

"My mind's too dumb to function that time. I was totally pissed and I've said the things I shouldn't have said. Now, I totally regret everything I said and can't take back the things I have done." He explained. "But this is not the only issue."

She let him continue. "Are you mad at me?"

"It would be a lie if I say I did not get mad at you...but I am not anymore. I am...hurting." She said in her softest tone.

"That would be the reason why I'm most sorry. I never wanted to hurt you Star. I didn't intend to and yet I always end up hurting you, badly." He cupped his face with his hands.

"Why did you act that way Robin? Why did you say the bad things that you have said? It was never the like you."

"You know how fast I get mad, right? Maybe I'm all too caught up. I don't know. Probably, I won't ever have a good reason and I know I don't have any."

"You know I would always understand you. I am your bestfriend. Do you not trust me?" She said and looked at him.

"I trust you. Now, I know I trusted you ever since with all my heart. It's me I don't trust." He paused to look at her. "Starfire, I cannot promise you that I will never do this to you again. I could never assure you that I won't act this way again with my stupid temper. I have my flaws. I'm not perfect. I don't even deserve you." He turned away from the hold of her look and stared at the floor. She put her finger in his chin and made him look at her.

"Do not ever say that. I believe in you. You may have the imperfections but it is what makes you, you." She inched her face to his and touched his cheek lovingly. Her other hand, removed the mask from his eyes and he never objected. He just let her for he felt it was all for the right reasons. She clutched his mask in her hand.

Now she was staring at the perfect shade of blue she had ever seen. He was staring back at her, admiring Stafire's own green eyes. "Everything about you, good or bad, I liked every part of it." She said lovingly and smiled.

Her smile reminded him of everything, everything that truly matters.

"Would you ever forgive me?" He asked hopeful. They locked eyes with each other and she nodded. Realizing all his mistakes, he does the only thing that he knows would be a big step forward and will make both of them the happiest.

Admiring the beauty before him, he closed his eyes and slowly closed the little space between their mouths. He kissed her. Starfire smiled and he used it to deepen the kiss between them. Starfire gladly responded to him. He reached for her face to keep hold of her. They shared a sweet long kiss only to be stopped when he realized Starfire was silently crying.

He stopped and looked at her. A tear fell from her eyes. "Hey, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" He said as he rubbed off the tear from her cheek.

"No, you have not done anything wrong. I am just happy we are the okay now." She smiled and wiped off her cry.

He sighed deeply. He hugged her in his arms and she rested her head on his chest. He gently stroked her fiery long red locks of hair. "Starfire." He called her name in a soft tone, almost a whisper but got her attention.

"Yes?" She tiredly said and stayed at her position.

"I'm sorry I just realized it now. Sorry for waiting you this long." He said.

"Robin. I am happy right now, do you feel the same?" She lifted her head and looked at him.

"Very."

"Then let us not discuss it anymore, not today. I do not wish to hear any of it right now." He simply nodded and they hugged each other accompanied with comforting silence.

A soft knock at his door was heard that made the two inched apart. He stood at the doorway and a last look at Starfire before he opened his door. It was Cyborg.

"Raven's awake."
