Disclaimer – If I did own Teen Titans I would know when the new episodes where on, alas, I don't. Does that answer the question?

Warnings: It's PG-13, what do Teens do at 13 and over?

I know it's been 3 weeks, but I've been really busy and when I come home from work, I really don't feel like typing; I always fall asleep.

PLEASE tell me what you think each saying at the beginning of a chappie means; I want to give out presents! Anyway, I really don't know when the new Teen Titan episodes come on, could someone please let me know? Oh yeah and about the change in Starfire's hair, I really hate her bangs on the TV show; I think they're ugly. Saa, that's unimportant, on with the fic!

"A shot in the dark I woke up to find

You had broke all the rules

And you changed your mind

Didn't I love you good?

Didn't I love you right?

Then tell me where you're going

Oh this one's gonna hurt like hell . . ." Melissa Etheridge – Lover Please

Starfire yawned and blinked brightly at the sun that was in her eyes. She didn't remember ever feeling so tired, exhausted or emotionally drained. Whatever; today was a new day and so that meant that all the problems of yesterday were gone.

If Starfire had been a gambling girl she would have lost that bet.

Her problem was sitting in a dark corner of the room watching her. It had not gone a way with the night. All of a sudden Starfire was embarrassed to be caught waking up in his bed. It just seemed so intimate and close in a way Starfire could not explain. On top of that she was in her underwear.

"Good morning Robin," Starfire said in an attempt to make things go smoothly today.

"Hello Star," Robin's voice sounded tired. Starfire began to wonder if he ever slept.

"Robin you do not sound so good, are you ill?" Starfire asked this while getting up, she needed to go to the bathroom but her friend's problems came first. She stood when talking to him, the thin bed sheet wrapped around her body to keep her modesty. She looked at her clothes that lay on the back of a chair in his room; she wanted to put them back on.

"I'm fine, just dealing with the problems that come with owning an operation like mine," Robin admitted, opening up a little.

Starfire spoke before she could catch herself. "If you came back to the Teen Titans you would not have the problem of ruling over minions or whatever it is that you do Robin," her hand slapped immediately over her mouth after saying this. Robin chose to ignore that statement he didn't feel like arguing.

Starfire smiled brightly to get over the embarrassment. She knew she sometimes spoke and said weird things, but she had never been this bad before. She looked once again at her clothes and decided it would be best if she put them on before fully dealing with Robin. For some strange reason her heart was pounding loudly in her chest at her state of dress before him.

Robin watch as Starfire moved into the sunlight that was pouring in through the window. What the hell was she doing? Did she know he could see straight through that thin, white linen sheet? Did she know what the hell she was doing to him? To his hormones?

"Star maybe you should move out of the light," he suggested, emotions barely suppressed in a strangled voice. Starfire cocked her head at the sound of his voice and moved directly in front of the window. He could see everything!

"Robin are you okay?" Robin couldn't respond. Why wouldn't she fucking move? ! ?

"I'm fine Star, it's just that . . . you're ah . . . you're kinda in my light," he finally managed to say, trying and yet not trying to look at her. What was he to do? He was a 17-year-old teen he had needs. Too bad the only person who could fulfill these needs didn't know anything about such things.

"Oh I'm sorry Robin," Starfire said as she moved out of the light. Robin breathed a sigh of relief as oxygen once flowed to his head from holding his breath. Too bad his other head also got a rush of something. Robin stood up suddenly; he needed to go somewhere other than here.

"Robin are you okay?" Starfire was getting genuinely worried; something other than their current problem was bothering him. Robin was looking at her weirdly and Starfire glanced at the bathroom door to see how far away it was. Something subconsciously told her to check, she might need to run there for safety.

Robin noticed the glance and decided it would be best to leave; besides he needed to relieve himself - - soon or Starfire really would need to lock herself in the bathroom to protect herself from him.

"I have some things to attend to, when I come back we'll discuss rules or what not. Is there anything you want before I go? Anything you wish I will give it to you," Robin told her truthfully.

"Then let me go home," Starfire said, emerald eyes pleading with him.

"This is your home now," Robin informed her and left her standing in the room alone. Starfire hung her head and went to shower.

*_*

Starfire stood looking around his very big room, it was like a very nice apartment. There was even a downstairs level with a kitchen, living room, and tub that bubbled hot water and felt very nice. Starfire had been enchanted with the hot bubbles. She had thought bubbles only came from that fancy soap that smelt really good. She really liked the kind that smelled like strawberry and came from Victoria Secret. She sighed and wished she had some now; she would have liked to try out the hot bubble bath. Or maybe taking a bubble bath in Robin's house was not the best thing, especially with the way he had looked at her this morning.

Starfire had seen that look before, it was a private look all the adults on her planet shared; Right before they went into their rooms and did weird things that produced noises. When Starfire had asked once what was going on behind those close doors, she had gotten silence and stuttered answers.

But since being on earth Starfire had learned what those odd noises, loud screams, and secret looks were about. Earth people were so open and casual about an act that was beautiful and private. Why they pronounced what they did in their bedroom on TV and to their friends. They even had a station about it called Playboy and there were tons of movies out about this act.

Starfire shook her head; she needed to think about the issue at hand. Robin had looked at her that way, and while it had made her feel uncomfortable, another unfamiliar feeling had grown. She had slightly enjoyed the fact that Robin found her attractive, and to think she was not an earth girl. If her parents knew the tingly sensation she had felt when Robin had looked at her like that they would have been very disappointed in her.

Starfire stomach rumbled clearing away all thoughts but food. She was hungry, she hadn't eaten last night, and her body was yelling at her. Not only had she not eaten but she had also tried to fly out of Robin's balcony into the sky, only to fly straight into a force field. She had immediately flown back in the room and given up on the attempt to escape at that present time. She didn't know where she was anyway, so she could really find her way back to the tower, and since Robin had taken her communicator after he had drugged her there was no way she could reach the other Teen Titans.

Walking into the kitchen an idea popped in Starfire's head. Maybe she could cook something for Robin so that things would be easier between them. Starfire got to work, she didn't know when he would be back and she wanted the food to be ready for him.

^_^

Robin looked at the sleeping, naked girl next to him and frowned. He hated these flings he had, they did nothing but increase the feelings of self-disgust in him. The girls were always beautiful and always willing, but they meant nothing to him, they were just quick releases while he thought about the person he really wanted naked beneath him.

Robin admitted to himself then that he really was sick and deluded. But Slade had nurtured most of these feelings in him, so it was all his fault. Robin would never have been like this if it weren't for Slade.

Robin was once again deluding himself.

All of us old or young enjoy power. When someone disappoints us or bothers us and we hit them what do we feel? Power. And when that person does nothing to retaliate or does nothing to stop us how do we feel? Powerful. Or maybe that person does something back. If we win that fight and succeed in causing that person to back down, how do we feel? Powerful.

Power is a drug, whether it's used for good or bad. We all know the effects of bad power. Bush is an example of that (Gomen, I couldn't resist. I really dislike that man!). Politicians, drug lords, gangs, criminals are all an example of bad power. But then again, good power is bad or rather there is a thin line between good and bad power.

Cops for example, have good power. And yet if they corner someone who has maybe killed a fellow cop this person is beaten or shot mercilessly. It is a given. Very few people who have experienced good power do not soon wield to badness, and succumb to badness, even if it is for a little period of time. This happens to almost everyone. Robin was Teen Titan, a good guy. He beat up criminals and put them in jail. But there where times when Robin was doing good with his power that he started to lose control on his criminal. So you see, Robin has had good power, exceptionally good power.

And now he has exceptionally bad power.

Robin moved away from the sleeping girl and went to the bathroom to shower. He needed to clean himself of everything, if even the solution was only a temporary stay under water.

*_^

Starfire frowned. What was on the plate looked nothing like what was in the book. She had eaten cereal and snacked on some chips while she cooked to hold her over to dinner. Now she was beginning to think she would be eating cereal and chips for dinner too.

She had really wanted to surprise Robin and make him happy. Too bad nothing ever went the way she planned. Starfire moved to clean up the mess when she heard an unmistakable voice behind her.

"Hello Star," Robin said taking her in. She was wearing one of his old white T's. The stupid shirt stopped mid thigh on her and was rising with every move she made.

"Hello Robin," so much for breaking the tension Starfire thought. He was looking at her in that way again and she did not know how to respond.

"I'm sorry about the mess Robin," Starfire said turning around to resume cleaning up. She couldn't look him in the face right now, she just knew her face would be the color of her hair if she did.

"It's no problem. Would you like some help?" Robin asked trying to not concentrate on the part of her thigh exposed by his shirt.

"No, it's quite alright. I had wanted to surprise you with a nice meal, but cooking just does not seem to be one of my strong points," Starfire admitted while flashing him a quick smile. Robin smirked back but inside he was relieved.

This was exactly what he needed in his life. He needed her smile, her presence and her words to remind that someone still had belief that he was sane. "Yes you never could cook," Robin said chuckling.

Starfire bent over to get soap from under the kitchen sink to wash the dishes. Robin sucked in his breath a little too sharply and almost choked on air. Could she really be that naïve and not know that she was seducing him with that shirt on?

"Robin remember all my puddings? Well I finally got Beastboy to try one and know I now that they're lethal, he almost-" Starfire stopped mid-sentence. Despite wanting to help Robin, he had asked her not to talk about the past. She had wanted to respect this request though it hurt her, and she knew she had probably angered him. She turned around quickly to apologize.

He was standing right in back of her, and Starfire was finding it hard to breathe.

She looked up from his hard chest to his eyes, what was he doing? "Robin I'm sorry, about what I said. I hadn't reali - -" She couldn't form the words, the desire in his eyes was too clear. What was she doing to make him react like this?

"Why do you have this on?"

"Well, I couldn't put on the same clothes from yesterday, they were a little dirty from the battle. They are drying now, I'm sorry for having on your shirt Robin, but it was the only thing available. I tried to pick the oldest thing I saw." If he was acting weird about the shirt then Starfire could handle the situation. If he wasn't, she didn't know what she would do.

"I don't care that you have the shirt on, it's the fact that there is nothing on under the shirt. Do you know what you're doing to me Star? Do you know how much you are tempting me?" Robin's voice was a whisper. Starfire's eyes were so bright they were glowing. What was going on?

"Robin I don't understand what you want from me. What am I doing to you? Please tell me what I'm doing to cause you pain and I will stop immediately," Starfire didn't really know what else to say.

"Kiss me. Let me have you and you will take that pain away," Robin only told her the truth. Yet the truth was scaring both of them.

"I can't Robin, I cannot fulfill your request. Anything else you want of me I will do, but I cannot kiss you. On my planet we do not mate freely and have random boyfriends and girlfriends," Starfire said in an even-tempered voice.

"This isn't your planet anymore Star," Robin said, eyes hardening. How could she tempt him and then refuse to give him release? Did she know how many girls would kill to be in her position? Then he realized whom he was talking about, and he knew for a fact that Starfire knew nothing about what he wanted, or needed, or craved from her.

She knew love, but did she know the love of a man and woman?

"You're my captive Starfire, and I can take anything from you I want. I know you are strong, but I am quite a bit stronger than you, I do not want to take what I want from you forcefully. All I want is a kiss, nothing more," Robin's voice was different. Entirely different, her eyes were shining like lamps now.

Starfire tried breathing, she had to remember that Robin was different now. She couldn't handle him in the same way she would have months ago. She struggled with an answer. Robin grew impatient. She opened her mouth to speak right when Robin lowered his head.

Starfire gave a loud gasp from her open mouth. He was nibbling and licking at her ear.
