Hi everyone! I was watching that new episode of Teen Titans and I came to
one conclusion, I did not like that Aqualad or whatever you call him guy.
Why you ask? Because Starfire and Raven were drooling all over that guy. In
my opinion, he wasn't all that great looking. Or maybe that I'm just a
Robin/Starfire, Raven/Beast Boy fan. The point is I don't like him, even if
I don't have a good reason why. But it might just inspire me for another
story in the future. Anyhow, I don't own the Teen Titans or anything else,
so let's get on with this chapter.
Chapter 6
*Flashback *
"Robin?" Starfire asked. "Do you have any brothers or sisters that would wish to cause you harm?"
"Uh...no. I don't have any brothers or sisters so that wouldn't be a problem for me." Robin replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Well," she started. "My sister, who I care about dearly, tried to frame me for something I did not do. Then to make everything worse, she attacked me, her own flesh and blood. I do not understand how she could be so mean. I thought that she loved me as a sister."
Robin was quiet for a moment before speaking. "You know Star, some people have a funny way of showing love. Your sister's way is a little...weird. But don't let it get to you. She's not here right now."
"But she said she would escape from prison and have her revenge!" Starfire cried. "Robin, you don't know Blackfire like I do. When she says she is going to do something, she does it. And I have yet to see her fail. What if she comes after me Robin? What if I am all alone and no one will be there to save me from her? What if she goes so far as to..." she cried hysterically.
"Whoa! Calm down Star!" Robin cried as he put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let anyone get you as long as I'm alive, especially Blackfire."
"Do you promise?" she asked as she was calming down.
"I promise." he reassured her while looking into her emerald green eyes.
"Thank you." she replied softly, looking back at him. "And to show my appreciation, I will protect you from harm also."
Robin laughed softly. "Thanks. I'll feel a whole lot safer the next time were in battle."
Starfire smiled. She did feel better knowing that Robin would always be there for her. And she would do the same thing for him, although she wasn't completely sure why.
*End Flashback *
Starfire slowly opened her eyes. She had no idea where she was until she checked her surroundings and realized she was in her room. When she tried to get up she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which had been bandaged up. Despite the pain she was feeling, she managed to stand up and make it out of the room. She was halfway down the hall when she realized how she had ended up like this. The image of her sister entered her mind. She remembered the fight that had occurred between them, and remembered losing as well. But what made her wonder the most was how she survived. Her sister had her right where she wanted her before she passed out. It didn't make any sense.
"How did I make it out of that terrible situation?" she asked herself.
"I believe you have me to thank for that." Raven called from behind her.
Starfire spun around quickly, which was not a good idea because it caused her to double over in pain.
"Careful, your injuries have still not completely healed yet." she warned. "And you should still be in bed anyway."
"I am fine. Thank you for rescuing me." she said gratefully.
"No problem." Raven replied. "Come on, you need to get back to bed, then I need to check on Robin.
"Robin!" Starfire gasped. She couldn't believe that she had forgotten about him. She didn't know if he was going to be ok or not. "Raven, please! You must take me to see Robin! I need to know if he is all right! It is necessary!"
Raven sighed. "Ok. But only for a moment. You really need to get your rest."
Starfire nodded in response and followed Raven to the infirmary. When they arrived Raven opened the door and let Starfire in. She walked slowly over to Robin's bedside and inspected him. It appeared that all the cuts and bruises he had before were gone, thanks to Raven. The top part of his uniform had been taken off so that bandages could be wrapped around his chest. He had what appeared to be a cast on his right arm. It hurt Starfire to see Robin like that. He seemed so frail and helpless, unlike the tough and bold warrior she had come to know and...well, maybe even love.
"Is he going to be alright?" she asked.
"He has a fracture on his right arm. And a couple of broken ribs, but he should recover soon. So the answer to your question, yes, he will be fine."
Starfire let out a sigh of relief. She felt a little bit better knowing part of her troubles could be put at ease. "I am glad that Robin will be okay but, it still angers me that my sister did this to him. I do not understand how she could do this. I feared she would come after me, but I never thought she would try to harm Robin. I feel like I am responsible for what happened."
"Don't be," Raven answered. "You are not responsible for your sister's actions. Don't feel guilty for something you weren't the cause of."
"I guess you are right." Starfire replied. "But I am not safe with Blackfire still out there, and neither is Robin."
"Don't worry. We will make sure that you and Robin are safe while you both are recovering." Raven assured her.
"I appreciate your willingness to protect us, but you do not understand how powerful Blackfire has become. I was no match for her when I was healthy, and I certainly will be no match for her when I am better." Starfire said worryingly.
"Well then, you'll have to get stronger too, if you want to be able to stand a chance against her." Raven informed her.
"Do you really think that I will be able to become stronger?" she asked.
"If you are willing to train hard, then it can be done." Raven replied.
"Then I shall start right away!" she said as she turned around and tried to leave the room, but stopped when she once again felt a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen.
"You're not doing anything until wounds are healed." Raven said harshly. "You are going back to bed, now."
"But....I.... am... fine Raven. I assure you." Starfire said unconvincingly.
Raven, who didn't buy Starfire's act, calmly walked over without saying a word and gently poked her in her side. Which caused her to give a small yelp of pain.
"Fine huh?" Raven asked, looking at Starfire while shaking her head.
Starfire smiled sheepishly. Raven gave her a stern look and pointed at the door. Starfire sighed in defeat. "I will go to bed now. But please take care of Robin while I am resting."
"I will." Raven replied. "Now go."
Starfire nodded and slowly made her way back to her room. As soon as she left, Raven sighed. She didn't think she would be able to get Starfire to leave the room without some kind of force. She knew that Starfire cared deeply for Robin, anyone who had half a brain could see that. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to. Then as if on cue, Beast Boy came bounding into room.
"Hey! What's up Raven?" he said rather loudly.
"Would you be quiet!" she said, raising her voice a little.
"Sorry." he whispered. "I was just trying to lighten the mood around here."
"Well, now's not the time." Raven replied. "I have been monitoring Robin's progress for the past two days, and I am very tired. I haven't had any rest since that ordeal with Blackfire."
"Well, it just so happens that I brought you some herbal tea to help you relax." Beast Boy said happily.
Raven's eyes widened slightly. "You did this for me?" she asked, surprised by Beast Boy's sudden generosity.
"Of course. You're my friend. Why wouldn't I do something nice for you." he beamed.
Raven looked at him suspiciously. "Okay, what are you up to?"
Beast Boy put his hands up defensively. "Nothing! I just want to help you by looking after Robin while you take a break."
"I don't think so. We're trying to help Robin, not kill him," she said.
"Come on, I really want to help you out. I think I can watch Robin without killing him. I don't hate him that much." he joked.
Raven sighed. "Fine. I'll allow you to take my place. If something goes wrong you come and get me, got it?
Beast Boy flashed her a thumbs up. "I gotcha babe!"
Raven face frowned up in disgust. "Don't ever call me that again." she said low voice while taking the herbal tea from his hands.
"Right, sorry," he whimpered softly.
Raven walked over to the door to leave, but stopped to turn around and look back at Beast Boy. "Oh and by the way, I appreciate your generosity. That was very mature of you." she said softly. And then she turned and left the room.
Uh...no problem." Beast Boy said somewhat confused. Had she just said he acted very mature? As long as Beast Boy had known Raven, she had never once complimented him for anything. And she had sounded so sincere when she had said it too. And he if didn't know better, he could've sworn she had a little smile on her face. She looked so cute whenever she smiled, which was rare. "Whoa! Where did that thought come from?" he asked himself. "Come to think of it, she is pretty attractive when she isn't so gloomy all the time. Her pretty eyes, and her beautiful lilac hair. Dude! What is wrong with me? I can't have these thoughts about her. She's my friend and teammate! Why would I like her when there are other girls out there? Why did she compliment me? Why did she smile at me? And why am I talking to myself out loud when there's no one around?!"
"I was wondering that to," a voice said from behind him.
Beast Boy jumped and turned around to see Cyborg leaning against the door smiling slyly. "How long have you been standing there? Beast Boy asked.
"Long enough," he replied while still smiling. "You have a crush on Raven don't you?"
"What! No way!" he cried.
"Come on man! I heard you talking. You've got the hots for Raven!" Cyborg said while pointing at Beast Boy accusingly.
"Shh! Be quiet or she might hear you! He whispered while waving his arms wildly.
"Aha!" Cyborg said getting in his face. "You just proved my point! If you didn't like her, you wouldn't care whether or not she heard me!"
"Damn!" he cried. I-I-I mean...uh...I do not like Raven!"
"Yes you do!" Cyborg called back.
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
They continued this on for about five more minutes until Cyborg finally gave up. He walked over to the door and stopped.
"Ok fine! Have it your way! But I still say you do!" he said and walked out the door.
"Do not!" Beast Boy called after him. "Stupid Cyborg. Saying I have a crush on Raven when I don't." He walked over to the window beside Robin's bed.
He sighed and stared out the window watching the sunset over the water for sometime.
"If I don't like Raven, why can't I stop thinking about her?" he thought to himself.

There you go. Another chapter finished. Not much really happened in this one, I know. But I kinda intended for that anyway. But to make up for the lack of action, I'll tell you that Robin wakes up in the next chapter.(YAY!) So that's something you can look forward to for later. Bye! R/R!
Chapter 6
