"Cyborg, blast it." Robin said halfheartedly. Cyborg blasted through a wooden barricade and Robin stepped through. He could hear the sounds of a scuffle behind him, and a dog yelp. Knowing Cyborg would help Beast Boy if he needed it, Robin continued through. His swallowed the lump in his throat and looked at the computer systems in front of him. The codes to get past the computers were complex, and it would take too long to hack into the database and shut the defenses off manually. So Robin pulled out one of the few things he had gotten to keep from his old costume-his retractable bo- staff. Sighing, he put an infrared scanner over his eyes and clicked it on. Red lines showed criss-crossing each other and Robin realized almost happily that he was about 5 inches from one. Stepping back, he scouted for a place to walk on safely. The nearest spot that his staff would have no trouble reaching was five feet away to his left. Robin extended his staff further and stuck it there, swinging forward on it to the spot. Robin crouched down and retracted his staff. He went like this until he came to the end of the red intruder-alert lines and put his bo-staff away. There was what he was looking for-two thermo-blaster components, identical to his own. He picked them up and put them into the new utility belt he had gotten with his suit and took out his bo-staff again. Now he stretched it out as far as it would go and grabbed onto it, hanging upside down like a sloth. He looked down and took a deep breath.
"Okay, Robin, no pressure." Robin scooted along his staff, praying he didn't fall. His grip began to slip and Robin quickly made it to the other side of the intruder-alert lines. Glad that that was over, Robin returned through the hole Cyborg had blasted and found his friends sitting in far corners, heads in their hands. He touched each of their backs and they looked up. He tried to smile, to give them hope, but it just came out as a half-felt half-smile. They stood and made their way back to Slade's lair, each crying silently. At the lair, Slade fitted one of the components into a thermo blaster and strapped it onto Beast Boy's wrist. The other component he installed into Cyborg where his Sonic Cannon used to be, so the beam was now red instead of ice blue.
"Rest, or talk to your girls. I don't care. Just remember: I'll be watching you." They nodded and Slade left. Robin immediately rushed over to Starfire and shook her awake. She looked up and Robin threw his arms around her. He pulled the gag off her mouth and sat at her feet facing her. She looked away from him and Robin began to cry.
"Star, please, don't.I can't stand that you're mad at me. I did this for you, you know. I did it for Raven and Kiyani, too, but I did it so Slade wouldn't kill you. Star, I just realized it, but I know I've felt it much longer than this. I love you, Starfire. Please, don't turn away from me." Starfire's jade eyes widened and she looked at her leaders form. He was still crying. How she wished she could brush his tears away!
"Finally, he says it! I thought I wouldn't live to hear it," Raven said. Robin jumped and turned to face the telepath. Her gag was off, and Beast Boy was holding her hand. He glared at her and turned back to Starfire. Her eyes had become watery and slowly, tears started to spill over. He brushed them away and Starfire whispered something. He put his head closer to her lips.
"I didn't hear you, Star. Say it again?" Starfire said more loudly, but only just above a whisper: "I love you too." Robin broke into a grin, his first real smile since he had come to Slade's lair. Starfire seemed pleased that she had made Robin smile and looked him up and down. Despite herself, she found herself liking the new suit. But the one he had as a Teen Titan was much better.
