BOOM!!!!
Smoke cleared, leaving Robin standing in the doorway with a shocked expression. He looked to the kitchen and saw Beast Boy standing there, blackened and disheveled by the explosion he had caused. When he noticed Robin's displeasing look, he laughed weakly and waved, "hehe, oops."
"Oops is right," Robin scowled as he walked around and looked at the damage, "That was Star's favorite oven."
He moved to the fridge and pulled out some leftover pizza, placing it on a plate and sticking it in the microwave, he turned it on and went to find a drink, "How's Star?" Cyborg asked.
Robin shrugged and poured a glass of water, "She woke up when I went in and seems fine, with the exception of being really pale and paranoid."
"Paranoid?" Raven wondered aloud.
He nodded, "She was worried that we were gonna kick her off the team because she can't fight for a while." Robin noticed that as he took the pizza out, Beast Boy had been watching him work the microwave very closely. He grabbed the plate and glass and marched towards the door. Before he left the room, he turned around and glared at Beast Boy, "Try not to blow up, break, or ruin anything." He opened the door and stepped out. As he took no more than ten steps, he heard a shatter. Growling, he shouted, "BEAST!!!"
From behind, Beast Boy appeared in the doorway with a nervous look, "Uhh Robin? That wasn't me."
"What?!" He exclaimed. A sudden sinking feeling set in and the dish and glass slipped from his hands. Robin took off running at an incredible speed, leaving Beast Boy bewildered.
As he skidded around a corner, he could feel his heart thudding against his chest, 'That had to have come from Star's room. I'm probably being the paranoid one, but I can't help it.' He thought as he came to her door. He tried to open it, but the door wouldn't move, "Star??" He called, pounding on the door. When there was no response, he began banging, "Open up Star! Star?!" After his futile attempt to elbow the door down, he backed up and prepared one of his bombs. Seconds later, the door was gone, leaving only a puff of smoke. Not waiting for it to clear, he ran into her room, "Star?! Where are you??"
Her bed was empty and the sheets were pooled on the floor. The drapes were torn and the window was shattered but other than that, everything was fine. He spun around wildly and looked for possible places for her to hide, or be hidden. Robin ran into the bathroom and searched for any signs, but found none. He spun on his heel and dashed out of the room in hopes to warn the others.
As he left, a figure moved through the shadows towards the window. It was a man, hidden by the darkness, who was holding Starfire with one arm pinning hers to her sides and his other clamped over her mouth. She was struggling as much as she could, but in her weakened state, it wasn't much. Finally, she managed to open her mouth and bit down, hard, against his hand. The man cursed softly and removed his hand. Starfire took this moment to inhale a deep breath, "ROBIN!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
The boy wonder whirled around and scrambled back to her room. He stopped dead in his tracks to find a man holding Starfire against her will in his arms, all to closely for his liking. She stared at him with pleading eyes as she stopped her struggling to meet his gaze. Robin broke his stare with Starfire and glared at the man, hatred and rage burning in his eyes, "Let her go." His voice was deadly calm, almost hauntingly so.
The man smirked, razor sharp teeth glinting against the hall light, "Master would not be pleased with me for doing such an act." He hissed.
"Well I'm not please with you for doing that." Robin growled and pulled out his retractable staff, unnoticed by the man, but not unseen by Starfire. They locked eyes and both sent each other a slight nod, "Therefore. . .I think it's time for you to let go of Star!" He jolted forward and ran up to them at a surprisingly fast speed. Starfire closed her eyes and suddenly let her weight drop. Unprepared for that, the man lost his grip on Starfire and was immediately hit under the chin by Robin.
The man's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled back. Starfire quickly ran behind Robin as he stood in a fighting stance, ready for another attack. He glared at the teen and wiped a spot of blood away from his lips, "Why you. . ." He raised his hand and a large chunk of the floor ripped up, slamming against the doorway. "Can't get away now so why don't you. . ." He trailed off as his gaze turned from one of anger to one of horror. He reached up and held his head in his hands, "Wait, no please Master Merrick!!! I can succeed, I swear to you, give me another chance!!!" His head snapped back and he let out a high-pitched cry that shattered glass all around the room. Since Starfire's light was glass, it too shattered and Robin covered her body with his for protection. A sudden light blinded them and a rocking explosion came with it.
When everything had died down and was calm, Robin stood upright and looked around. Starfire's room looked like a war zone and there was no sign of the mysterious captor, "What the hell was that?" Robin muttered. He looked down at Starfire with worried eyes, "Are you ok? Did he hurt you at all?"
Instead of answering, her legs gave way and she crumpled to the floor, "It cannot be." She whispered.
He knelt next to her and set a hand on her shoulder, "Star?"
She looked up at him with frightened eyes and clutched the front of his shirt, "You will not let him take me, will you?" She pleaded.
Confused, Robin nodded his head slowly, "Yeah, sure Star, but who am I keeping away?"
"Promise me!" She cried, "You must promise." Her eyes were beginning to sparkle and her hands trembled.
Sighing, he put both hands on her shoulders, "I swear on my life. I will never let anyone take you away, I promise." She smiled in relief before fatigue caught up with her and she slumped against him, 'No way in hell is anyone taking my Star away. She stays right here with me.' He thought grimly, before backtracking, 'HOLD THE PHONE!!!! MY Star?!? Where did that come from??' He asked himself.
Before he could ponder it any longer, suddenly, "Azarath metrion zinthos!!" The makeshift door was pushed away by an invisible force and there stood Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven, all ready to fight.
Robin sent them all a slightly annoyed stare, "What took ya?"
They relaxed and Cyborg jerked a thumb towards the door, "If you hadn't noticed, there was a big chunk of floor in the doorway."
Raven crossed to Robin's side and knelt down, examining Starfire, "What happened?" She asked tonelessly, but her actions proved more worry than she wished to show.
"Some guy tried to take her." Robin replied simply.
"And. . ." Beast Boy motioned for him to continue.
"And nothing, when I got her away from him, the guy started screaming before he. . .blew up." Robin struggled to find the right words.
"Blew up?" Cyborg raised an eyebrow.
"Um, yeah!" Robin violently motioned to the charred room.
"Oh." Cyborg blinked in surprise.
"Idiots." Raven muttered and sighed in relief, knowing her only good friend was safe.
