No Such Thing as Canned Pheromones!
Chapter 11: Action? Drama? Meh...not really
A/N: Alrighty then! Welcome back to another exciting chapter! I apologize for my 3 week old update or something like that. I swear... Going to get some of the meat on this one. Hopefully, it was worth the wait!

Last time on N.S.T.A.C.P.
"So is she going to be okay Cyborg?" Beast Boy asked from the other side of Raven's bed, unknown to her until now. Just the sound of Beast Boy's voice made her head hurt, and the data on Cyborg's arm to fluctuate.
Cyborg looked at Raven, she was suffering from similar symptoms of before: intense breathing, quickened heartbeat… blushing face. He didn't need a supercomputer brain to tell that Beast Boy was the cause for Raven's intense emotional… 'Implosion'. And Cyborg had been around Robin and Starfire long enough to know the symptoms of newly discovered love.
Starfire's beaming smile soon fell into a drooping frown, as Robin slipped past her sight. This romantic birthday dinner was not going how she had hoped. Robin seemed to be his normal, reclusive self and didn't really seem to make the night special for her.
Little did she know, her wishes and dreams were going to come to fruition in a way greater than she had expected.
Robin waltzed out of the bathroom with a cocky smile on his face. He had waited far too long for this moment to occur. Memories of being so close to Starfire were burned into his mind, just being so close, yet so far from having a sweet loving kiss. Like that one time on the Ferris wheel eating cotton candy and watching the colorful fireworks light up the night sky. He would have gotten to feel her alluring lips and perhaps even a bit of the texture of her tongue. So many chances, like that one on the Ferris wheel were blown due to silly little things…like someone barging in on them, getting captured by bounty hunting squid robots, or by simply a little embarrassment; which can be a pretty big enemy to us all. Not this time though. Nuh-uh. Robin was going to get what he wanted; Starfire was going to get what she wanted. Everything would work out smoothly, and without flaw. He would be able to, with the aide of Taxe, to unlock the ferocious beast of passion that waits inside Starfire and allow their true love to jumpstart with quite a bang. Robin would be able to finally taste the lips of someone who he wanted to taste the most. To be able to get so close and intimate with Star would be enough for Robin to… uh… dang I can't think of a good metaphor. He really wants to kiss/love/whatever with Starfire, have I made myself clear?
Robin turned the corner, then the one after that which leads to the room where Starfire sat waiting for his return. Starfire knew immediately something was up. Even before Robin was in view she could sense his presence. She perked up right away from her dreary, crestfallen position of her head resting in her palm. Her heart rate quickened. Her breathing started to get heavier, and god knows she might start to break a sweat any moment. Robin arrived and sat down and started immediately engaging in conversation with Star. Not that she noticed. She couldn't focus on what was being said by him or by herself for that matter. Perhaps it was good that she couldn't so the embarrassing replies completely inaccurate to the topic at hand wouldn't make her blush even more than she already was. Why was this happening all of a sudden? She always felt love for Robin, for as long as she could remember. Now though, it felt even stronger. She felt as though she couldn't resist him, no matter how hard she tried. Her gaze stayed fixed on his face, memorizing all the completely insignificant features like how many wrinkles appeared on his forehead when he'd cock his brow and ask:
"Starfire? You all right? You've been acting awfully strange since I came back." Robin asked. Though he was fully aware what was going on. He knew it wouldn't be long now.
"Well I uh…um…" Starfire stuttered, trying to find the right words to say, except she didn't know what to say since she didn't listen to him say anything. She was too focused on his face. And her desires to get close to him and kiss him and love him quickly growing and fermenting in her body.
In Robin's mind, this was going waaay to slow for his comfort. As a catalyst, he took a little bravery from his heart and caressed his date's soft hand, which was resting on the table top, and simultaneously played a little round of footsie with her as well.
Starfire went nuts.
Not only did the next thing Starfire did surprise Robin, but the whole restaurant looked over to find the Titan's celebrity couple's table flipped over on the ground and Starfire pinning Robin down beneath herself. Robin of course was hoping for this, but it merely startled him, he was hoping for the Taxe to just coax Starfire into accepting her feelings and acting upon them. Unfortunately that's exactly what happened. The feelings that Robin thought Starfire had were a little more…eh…erotic than what he had planned for. Robin has yet to utter a complaint though, so he must not be too terribly disappointed with what she was doing to him.
And what exactly was she doing to him? Well let us continue the story and find out shall we?
Robin was currently pinned underneath Starfire. Her legs straddling both of his and was gently sitting down on crotch-al region of his body, thus making him a little uncomfortable…or maybe a little too comfortable if you know what I mean. Starfire was panting and beads of sweat were beginning to glide down her face with anticipation. Robin was clueless as to what was going to happen, but was eagerly awaiting for the next move in this one-sided game of lover's chess. Starfire slowly moved in. Her eyes flittering to a close as Robin's followed quickly. The next thing that occurred was rather odd considering the circumstances. Starfire took a big breath of air and proceeded to swoop down quickly and grab her love's lips with her own. It wasn't quite as tender as Robin was originally hoping for but was still enjoying the taste of her lips just the same.
This kiss was definitely one to be remembered. Heck, it lasted long enough for someone to paint a picture of it. Star was getting into this kiss with every passing moment. Moans were begging to involuntarily groan out of each of them. Starfire's tongue lashed out of her mouth and inside of Robin's, as she could taste the very sweet essence of her love along with her love's salad dressing that added quite a remarkable taste to this experience. The minutes passed by without break, and a crowd was beginning to form around them, with all sorts of various cries:
"Mommy? What's that lady doing?"
"JEFFERY SHEILD YOUR EYES!"
"Aww, how cute."
"Lucky little red-haired, stupid super Starfire…getting all the hotties in town…grumble grumble"
"My goodness! And in public? I thought these Titans were responsible young folk!"
"Holy tornado! How long can that dude hold his breath?"
The cry from the last spectator made an interesting point. As Robin was merely a human in peak physical condition, not even he could sustain a healthy amount of oxygen for 3 or so minutes. His face was turning blue, he stopped returning the kiss and was flailing around like a salmon that was firmly gripped in a grizzly's jaw. He needed a breather. So he politely tried to shove Starfire off his body, though her Tameranian strength for which she had become known for, kept her steadily positioned on top of her love; making out with him in a fancy 5-star restaurant.
He managed to pull away from her lips for a split second long enough to exhale the stale taste of lip gloss deep in his throat. He flailed around some more before Starfire got the hints and let up for a moment.
"pant pant My god pant I can't breathe…pant…" Robin said before being pinned down even harder with Starfire laying on top of his whole body head to toe, softly holding the back of his head, playing with his hair.
"Yes, pant you too left me breathless." Starfire said with a sly smirk on her face, closing her eyes and inhaling his aura. It was intoxicating. She was addicted to him…and she needed more. So with just barely enough time for both to catch their breath, Starfire continued from where she left off: Leaving Robin breathless.
Back at the Tower, Raven was put to bed in the medical room via orders from Cyborg. Raven had been feeling not at her best ever since she blacked out so it was just a quiet evening in bed and answering the mind-numbing onslaught of personal questions coming from Cyborg. This was good considering the pain her mind was in… a good numbing could be just what the doctor ordered.
"Couldn't I just go back to my room?" Raven apathetically asked as Beast Boy left the room.
He really didn't want to leave, but Cyborg claimed it would really help stabilize Raven's overactive psyche. Beast Boy felt sort of bad, feeling somewhat responsible for her condition, he never ever wanted to hurt her. Raven meant a lot to him and Beast Boy was starting to get a little anxious as well. How did he feel about her? That question's a doozy. Of course he liked her, that was a no-brainer (his specialty) but to what extent required extensive thinking… incidentally Beast Boy left the room on intention of getting some Aspirin for a vicious headache. Raven and he were friends…good friends on occasion. The thought of anything more was treading into open water… Beast Boy really liked her. She brought balance into his world, and he liked to think he did the same for her.
"No Raven, I need to keep you in here for tonight, just so I can monitor you while you sleep."
"Gee how thoughtfully non-perverted of you." Raven rolled her eyes and she fell back from her sitting position as her head crashed into the rather uncomfortable pillow.
The room fell silent; just a few computers were whirring, and Cyborg's metallic fingers tapping away on the keyboard. Raven was bored out of her mind… so she thought she might as well investigate it.
"Love… are you in here? Where have you been? Hello? Stop hiding, I'll find you eventually." Raven pondered inside her mind.
"Yawn I wasn't hiding, I was just sleeping. I got pretty tired after taking control for a while…whoever knew running your mind was so exhausting?" Love stated in a nonchalant tone that bothered Raven.
"Took over? What are you talking about? Are you the reason I blacked out? Explain yourself."
"It's simple really. While you were gazing off into Beast Boy's eyes or whatever, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to nudge you off in the right direction. So I just took over, but it overwhelmed me, and the strain on me maintaining your consciousness was too great, I kinda passed out too. Sorry about that, but you needed to know what love felt like. It feels way better than anything you could imagine."
"I appreciate your honesty, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you not to do that again. I can take care of my feelings myself." Raven answered back calmly, trying to be discrete to many of Cyborg's probes and monitors.
"Feelings?! Raven! I'm so proud of you. Isn't he as dreamy as I told you he was?" Love shouted ecstatically in her head, leaving Raven in a slight state of mental discomfort.
This resulted in a fluctuation of mental activity that Cyborg instantly picked up on.
"Raven? You alright, girl?" Cyborg asked not even turning his head to bother looking at her.
"I-"
"Because it looks like you were just suffering from some mild emotional trauma. So spill, what's between you and Beast Boy." Cyborg said not allowing Raven to formulate an excuse.
Just the mention of Beast Boy and her made the various charts of data on the screen in front of Cyborg jiggle around, causing a sly smirk to grow on his face.
"You like him don't you?" Cyborg asked playfully knowing all too well what her answer would be.
"Well… uh…can you keep a secret?" Raven shyly questioned.
"No."
"Yes…no, well… I'm not quite sure. It turns out that we can get along much better than I could have ever thought before. I can't express feelings though… I might kill him, and that wouldn't be good for anybody. It's just that…uh Cyborg?" After Raven poured her heart out (if you could call it pouring) for Cyborg, she looked up find him snickering and doing his best not too full out laugh out loud.
"It's not funny Cyborg, stop it."
"Sorry Rae, I'm afraid it is. Heh, I never would have guessed you two would fall head over heels in-"
"Cyborg, stop it, you're going to regret it if you finish your sentence…"
He was having far too much fun to stop now. He was a super hero for jimminy's sake! He could take whatever she could dish at her.
"-love"
Beast Boy, who had just finished with his aspirin and glass of water turned around to go see how Raven was doing, though a faint masculine roar followed by a petite feminine scream echoed through the empty halls into Beast Boy's somewhat empty head.
"NO!! Anything but that! Please Raven! I'm sorry!"
Beast Boy suddenly just got the urge to just go up to his room, deterred by Cyborg's scream. One that he could identify with.
"Hmm... must have ticked her off..."
