Ridiculously Romantic
"And so it begins."
Punch after kick before swipe of the staff, Robin's head was spinning with fury. He didn't care that he wasn't all strategy wise, all he cared about was killing this man claiming to be his father.
Slade easily moved positions as Robin struck, and sometimes would throw a punch and kick in there just to throw Robin back and fuel his son's fury. The father kicked Robin back so hard, that boy wonder went flying back and skidding on the ground.
"Give it up Robin, you will never beat me. You might as well just say good bye to all your pathetic friends and be my apprentice just as a good son would do."
"Give it up 'Father', I will never become your apprentice. I will kill you before I do anything that stupid!" Robin popped back up with his hands and kicking his feet to keep his legs straight.
"Remember what I said about if you kill me- oof!" Slade was knocked in the head by Robin's forceful kicks, causing him to fall back to the wall hard, and slide down it. Part of his mask broke, and he was seething.
"If you kill me, then I'm taking Starfire down with me!" Slade wiped blood from his mouth. The mask had cracked from his mouth all the way to his right cheek, showing tan flesh.
Robin turned to Starfire's helpless eyes and smiled weakly. "Like hell you will!" Boy wonder ran at full speed and collided with Slade's fist, while the half-unmasked man felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen.
Slade grabbed Robin's neck and threw him to the ground in a powerful swipe. Placing a knee on his son's stomach and a large handgrip around Robin's neck, Slade chuckled.
"Doesn't this position look familiar? Now listen up Robin, you cannot beat me, for I am older and much wiser."
"Older is more like it, and did you mention ugly?" Robin smirked. The grip around his neck got tighter.
"We must stop him!" Starfire squealed another attempt to run towards the sparring humans. Cyborg grabbed her with one robotic arm and shook his head. Starfire got the message and shrunk back.
"Stop acting like a child and start behaving like the mature son I have!" Slade spat. Robin glared and kicked him over his head. Rolling forward, Slade tumbled into a wall.
Robin got up and massaged his neck, glaring menacingly at the fallen man. "You don't have a son anymore." Robin watched as Slade got up and broke the rest of his mask off. Everyone gasped then went silent.
The shadows blocked his face, but he soon was identified as Slade walked into the light. Robin glared but in mind he was screaming with amazement. Slade looked exactly like him, only an older man.
He had dark brown eyes that gleamed with malice and tan skin. His hair was a dark black that was unruly and the back sort of spiked out as if he were trying to tame it down.
"Like what you see? Does this give you enough proof that I am indeed your father?" Slade walked slowly to Robin as if he were stalking his prey. "You always did get your mothers wit and right from wrong sense, oh and her beautiful blue eyes with emerald trim. But one thing you lacked Robin, son, is patience."
Slade shot up and started kicking Robin everywhere, he even managed to punch him in the ribs then knee him up in the air, causing him to land painfully on the ground.
"Patience is the key to perfect strategy and almost perfect strategy is what you have, but not this time." He chuckled evilly and picked the bloody Robin up.
"Why won't you just kill me! You know I won't be your partner!" Robin groaned in pain. Slade leaned in close and whispered, "Because I'm not through with you yet."
"But...I'm...through with YOU!!" Robin kicked his feet on the ground, making him spring up and head butting Slade in the chin. The older replica of Robin dropped his son and faltered back, holding his wounded jaw.
"You will pay for that!"
"Whatcha gonna do? Bend me over your knee and spank me?" Robin grinned. Cackles from Cyborg and Beast boy could be heard from the side audience as Slade glared at his son.
"Why must you put up a fight!?" Slade snarled, running full blast at Robin. "We could take over the world together Robin! We could be the best!" Slaten Descrow unmasked kicked Robin in the guts, as Robin used his pole staff to knock him on the head.
Slade rammed boy wonder back and held him in a tight lock down on the ground. Robin growled from underneath him and held his pole staff secure in the navel of Slade's throat.
"You will become my apprentice Robin." He said calmly, swallowing hard against the pole on his throat.
"My answer still stands Slade...NO!" Robin jammed the pole up into Slade's neck, causing the man to grasp his throat and plunge back. It drew blood, but it didn't deepen to have serious injuries. Robin took the time to scramble into the shadows and let the darkness swallow his body.
Slade was furious now, and the only way to make Robin furious was to mention the one thing that mattered to him most besides Starfire. "Remember your mommy Robin? She was such a beautiful lady."
Slade's eyes pierced through the shadows, searching for any signs of human form. "Remember when I said she was smart? Well she was, she was smart enough to figure that I would kill her if she cheated on me. But like I said, she was too foolish to know that I was going to kill her anyway."
A shuffle in the darkness caused Slade to swipe towards the sound. "My suspicion got the better of me, so I killed her. What a foolish girl she was no matter how beautiful she appeared. How dare she act like she was with Bruce, that son of a bitch."
"He is mad no?" Starfire whispered fearfully as Raven nodded.
"I enjoyed killing her. I even enjoy the sweet memories I get of her every time I dream. Do you dream Robin? I know you do. I know you remember. Killing her brought so much joy to me."
"You remember what 'I' said Slade? I will be on your back soon enough!" Robin stepped out of the shadows and jumped on Slade's back, making the father fall to the ground.
"How dare you mention that to me!! You're not my father! You're a fucking monster! I'm going to kill you just like you killed mom! And I will enjoy it! Because you know what they say, 'like father, like son!'" Robin yelled, aiming the pole staff point at Slade's head.
"Remember what I said Robin, if I die, then Starfire comes along with me!" Slade, in a flash, pelted out a hidden short spear and aimed it at Starfire. Robin laughed. "They could easily dodge it you fool."
"Yes, indeed you are just like your mother you foolish boy! Do you not remember that I am a technologist? I specifically made this spear to kill Starfire, meaning go through anything, including Raven's powers. That spear is quicker than light itself!"
Robin's eyes turned slit as he grasped the pole tighter. "Go! Get out of here! Get Starfire out of here!!" Robin yelled. Cyborg quickly grabbed Starfire and dashed out of the hide out as quickly as they could.
Robin at the same time Slade went to throw the spear, placed the pole in front of it, causing the spear's handle to collide with it and bounce off and stick into a wall, while turning the pole over and knocking Slade out from the intense speed and strength.
Boy hero swallowed hard as his father's head flopped to the side and his whole entire being was fainted. Pushing away from the fainted man, Robin got up and walked crookedly towards the exit, hoping he would be able to phone the police before his good for nothing father awoke.
Beast boy, Raven, Cyborg and Starfire all went limping and sprinting out of the hideaway. Practically crawling up the flights of stairs from exhaustion, they finally made it to the raining outside.
The green changeling took a deep breath and sighed in relief. "The air smells so sweet!" Quickly turning his smile from the showering sky to Raven, he picked her up and started spinning. "We're alive! Haha! We made it!"
Cyborg and Starfire watched the happy Beast boy jump around with the embarrassed but flattered Raven in his arms. Raven turned really red when Beast boy smashed his lips to hers in joy, completely forgetting that his friends were right there. "I'm not dead, you're very much alive and everyone is here-"
"But Robin." Starfire said sadly.
Beast boy put down Raven and stepped a little away from her in embarrassment after noticing what he did. Cyborg chuckled at them and then turned sadly to Starfire.
"Star, he'll be okay, Slade won't kill him. C'mon! That's his only son!" He said.
"I just, I do fear that he will be hurt. Perhaps he never gazes upon the stars at night, and the only things he will witness are the heavens above! What if Slade-"
"Slade won't do anything, cause Slade has fainted. Cy call the recruit team to say we have captured Slade once and for all." Robin said proudly. The Tamaranean squealed with delight and engulfed him in a prize-winning hug.
"Robin!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Booya! Robin you hurt?"
"Will he be knocked out long enough for the police to get here?"
"Ding dong the witch is dead, which old witch?" Beast boy danced and sang happily as the teens looked at him strangely. "The wicked witch!"
'You are much cuter when you don't open your mouth.' Raven said to him through her thoughts. Beast boy didn't say a word, but stopped his dancing and glared to her. She smirked at him then winked.
"Robin I am gladdened to know that you have overcome to Slade's horrible needs!" Starfire squeezed his hand and smiled joyously. Robin returned the smile, but all was alerted quickly when another voice rang out.
"Glad to see that you have made it out safety Robin, I always knew you were better than your good for nothing father. You and I are alike! We both hated our fathers."
"Komand'r!" Starfire gasped. "I thought you ran away!" Blackfire stepped out from the darkness as rain poured from the sky and laughed heartily.
"As if Koriand'r, I have business to finish with you remember? I said I would get my revenge." The dark Tamaranean smirked evilly. "So let me finish what I was starting, your death."
The titans got into position, but Starfire flew up. "Need not help me, I am willing to fight to death if I have to." Blackfire let out another high squeaky laugh and flew up with her sister.
"Are you ready to die Starfire?"
"Only if you are ready to die with me."
"You will be the only one dying tonight."
"Oh sister, why must you detest me so and anger yourself?" Starfire started asking. She was going to continue, but a light purple firebolt hit her on her side, so she went soaring back.
She recovered easily with bright green eyes filled with anger and two large emerald starbolts in her small hands. "You will pay for that sister."
"Should we do something now?" Cyborg asked. Robin and Raven shook their head.
"You know, this 'not helping our friends when they are in trouble' is really starting to piss me off." Cyborg whispered to Beast boy, who nodded in agreement.
"Oh Koriand'r you young fool! Haven't you learned that I will always be better than you at everything!" Another blast of energy balls went aiming Starfire's way.
Dodging them and blasting hers her sister's way, Starfire growled. "Not anymore sister!" flipping over Blackfire, Starfire aimed her starbolts at the back of her sibling's head.
"Starfire, you are the most- oof!" The emerald ball went twirling Blackfire's way and ended up exploding in the back of her head, causing her to fall forward.
"SISTER!" Starfire screamed as she went flying down towards the descending Blackfire. "Don't fear! I'm coming to rescue you!"
"I got her!" Robin yelled, holding out his hands for the falling girl. Blackfire landed in Robin's arms safely and Starfire flew to them. "Is she undamaged?" Starfire squeaked in worry.
A loud thundering explosion came from behind Starfire and Robin's back, but they paid no attention to it, only the cares of Blackfire's health. Cyborg's mouth completely dropped at the sight, while Beast boy turned into a cat and hissed, raising all the hair on its back.
Raven tried to tell the caring teens, but they shook her off as Blackfire began to stir. "Komand'r are you unharmed?" Starfire whispered quietly.
"Koriand'r?" Blackfire moaned, peaking one eye open. Immediately the dark sister blasted Starfire away and chuckled. Robin dropped her in shock and ran to his 'friend'.
"Whoa hang on their Robin you can't just leave me here! We are meant for each other!" Blackfire yelled to him on the tips of toes. "Robin! We can be together forever! You don't need Starfire!"
Four strong hands grabbed both of Blackfire's arms and twisted them back. The older sister struggled and turned her head to see who it was. "Komand'r from planet Tamaran, you are under arrest once again. This time mistress you won't be escaping too easily."
"Don't! Get off of me! How did you find me here!" Blackfire gasped, twisting and turning. The two black aliens dressed in silver and gray put a large blast proof, or better yet, Blackfire proof, over the girl's body.
Komand'r started banging on the plastic body cell and even tried blasting it away. "What's going on!?" She rang out. "How did you find me here?!" The two guards started carrying her away and glared.
"You, Komand'r, are under arrest for bribery, false identification and escaping galactic prison. You will be locked up and will never see the stars again. No more questions or we will be forced to mute you." The largest guard said tonelessly. "Let's go Bob."
The guard 'Bob' nodded fiercely and said, "Right Bob." Guess both of their names are Bob.
"NOO!! I never got to be with ROBIN!!" Blackfire yelled, pounding on the plastic body cell. Robin and Starfire turned to her and waved. "WAIT! My sister can break me out! Sister dear! Tell them that I am under your care! Tell them that I have problems with my anger! Tell them I have a social- family problem!"
The two large guards turned to the walking Starfire and put down the cell that kept Blackfire inside. "Is this true Miss? Is this your problem child sister? Is she truly under your care?"
Starfire took one glance at Blackfire and shook her head. "I'm sorry sir, but I have not an idea who this 'Blackfire' is. She accused me to be her sister and then she tried to kill me. If I was truly her sister, would she have blasted me away?"
"I guess not. Thanks for your help miss. Have a good day now." Bob said, before taking the screaming Blackfire away. "LIAR!! KORIAND'R I WILL BE BACK FOR YOU!!" Was the last thing Blackfire said before getting shut away in the galactic police van.
"Starfire?" The titans asked nervously. Starfire turned to them and smiled as rain fell lightly on all of them.
"Yeah?"
"Are you back now? Or do you still think you belong with 'Slade'?" Beast boy asked uncertainly.
"I am all but unordinary. I know I am to be with you. I have been back but for a while now, why must you question?" She said sweetly.
Beast boy sweat dropped as Robin cleared his throat and pointed to the ship over his shoulder. "Then what was that back there? How come you talked like an earthling? And why did you lie to the police?"
"Yeah dude! I mean dudette! I thought we were the 'good guys'?" Beast boy said.
"We are! And I lied because I think that would have been the only way to get her in the galactic prison with out having another trial for a mild lock down. And to answer your question about my education in earthling speech, well I had been practicing it for a while now." She laughed.
Everyone but Raven fell to the ground in exasperation. "Well now that's over with, we are finally allowed to leave peacefully!" Robin said to all his 'alive' friends.
"Oh not quite. I am still here to gather what you thought I have lost. My queen." The same eerie voice Starfire always dreaded. The titans whipped around and searched the darkened yard. Rain started to fall hard as they searched, and finally a figure walked in their eye range.
"Good Evening Starfire." Devion smiled as rain drenched his trench coat and beautiful face. "Are you ready to follow me to a much...." He shivered. "Warmer place?"
"In your dreams." She spat.
"Yeah Daemon, just get away from here!" Beast boy yelled.
"Devion." Hell's son growled in defense.
"I'd think Daemon would fit you better because it is so close to 'demon'! And you and a demon are so much alike! You are both evil!" Cyborg snarled.
"Oh you have not seen evil until you have seen me in full form, half breed." Devion said thickly. Cyborg blasted out his sonic cannon and aimed it towards Devion.
"No!" Robin yelled. He walked in front of Cyborg and pointed the cannon down. "Leave him to me." Walking towards Devion, Robin looked once more at Starfire and smiled. "I think its time to fight for the love that's mine."
"Love? That's yours? Don't make me laugh!" Devion cackled. "You and Starfire would never be good because you wouldn't give her the time or day like I would."
"I could try!" Robin started circling Devion as Hell's son did the same.
"Trying isn't good enough for the lovely Starfire."
"Then I 'will'."
"No such thing as 'will' in your vocabulary my dear boy." Devion smiled evilly then attacked. He punched boy wonder in the face and Robin went flying back.
"Damn! That was a cheap trick! You are a cheater at fighting! Kick his ass Robin!" Beast boy yelled.
"Yes! Beat down that freakishly freaky freak Robin!" Starfire cheered. Raven looked at her strangely, but let out a smile.
"Go get him 'slugger'." Raven cheered sarcastically, pretending to punch the air.
"BOOYA!" Cyborg chanted as Robin got back in the game and jump kicked Devion in the face. The rain made it even harder because the long grass was getting slippery, so every time the fighters tried to land, they would slip.
Devion recovered instantly and took out his long spiked staff. Twirling it around him fancily, Hell's son aimed it at Robin's chest. Robin got out his plain metallic pole and held it in his hands.
"Two can play out that one Lil' 6!" Robin yelled. He charged at the same time Devion did and they both collided at full blast into each other.
"Why would you call me lil' 6?" Devion roared, trying to plunge the spikes into Robin, but boy wonder dodged them perfectly.
"Because," He panted. "You are the child of hell right? Your symbol is- hey you're cheating! – 666 and you are only part 6 so there fore that makes you Lil' 6!" Robin flipped over his opponent and kicked him in the back, making it crack.
"Did he just break his back?!" Cyborg said weakly. "Did Robin just kill a human?" Devion slid to the ground and made no movement, so Robin walked stealthily up to him, and kicked him over.
The dead boy's eyes were closed and he made no signs of breathing. Robin paled and looked at his feet. 'Did I just kill someone. Oh no! I am really like my father!'
"Robin! Are you undamaged?!" Starfire asked worriedly. She took a look at Devion and gasped, backing away. "Is he deceased?"
"Whoa, Robin, you killed a mortal!" Beast boy said affectedly. Robin broke down and landed on his knees in the puddled grass.
"I-I didn't mean to!" He said sadly. Robin didn't cry, but he felt sick, like a murderer.
"Robin, need to feel guilt! It was not your fault! Devion had it coming! Let us go home. The recruit team will be here shortly and they will dispose of the body later. Please let us just go-" Starfire gasped as something grabbed her leg. She looked down to find Devion's once perfectly straight legs wrap around hers in a curled, slick tail.
Devion's whole body was consumed into a dark black cobra and his eyes were the deepest of sanguine. In the middle of his eye was a darker than dark red slit and it made him appear more evil.
"What the hell is that?!" Beast boy yelled in confusion, as Devion grew larger.
"Ah, he is a demon!" Cyborg screamed.
"Oh calm down boys, we can take him." Raven said tonelessly, making her eyes turn white in defense.
"You killlllled me Rooooobin!" The cobra hissed. "Now I will have to forrrrrrrce the loooovely Starrrrrfire to hellll with meeee!" Devion's smooth and scaly tail wrapped tighter and tighter around the screaming with fear Starfire.
"Starfire!!" Robin yelled.
"Azarath Metrion Zynthos!" Raven yelled, flying up in the air and blasting her black powers at Devion the Cobra. Devion snapped at Raven, but was immediately rammed forward by Beast boy the ram and then blasted back by Cyborg's sonic cannon.
Robin stuck his metal pole into Devion's tail, causing Devion to loosen the grip on Starfire and recoil in his tail in pain. "Star!" Robin ran to her and caught her falling body.
She landed softly and then hugged her rescuer in relief. "Thank you much Robin!"
"C'mon buddy! Lets play!!" Cyborg punched the ground hard and it exploded causing bits of rock and grass into the cobra's eyes. He then blasted another ball of blue power from his gun.
Beast boy transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and started swinging his tail at Devion, making Hell's son fly back into a bunch of trees. Raven used her powers to hold him still as Robin stabbed him again in the chest and Starfire used her powers to keep blasting him with pain.
"NOO!" Devion hissed. He broke free of the powers and went to snap at Starfire when Robin jumped on her, blocking her from danger. It was to no avail because a large blue orb of safety blocked Devion's bite and damned him back.
"Whaaat!" He hissed. Devion charged again, only to be damned back once again. "What is going onnnn here?"
Thunder and lightning boomed and lit the sky and faint chuckling could be heard up above. Devion the cobra hissed in annoyance and turned to Starfire. "I will be back my looooovely Starrrrfire!"
Turning himself back into his human form, Devion collapsed on one knee and held on to his throbbing arm. Pulling up his shirt, he noticed that the name, 'Aroree' was burning red into his flesh.
Grasping it and groaning softly, he clenched his teeth and hit the ground hard. And in a heartbeat, he was swallowed into the red liquid hole coming from the earth.
"Where did he go?" Beast boy managed to choke out. "Did you guys see what I saw, or did I see Devion turn into a Cobra then vanish which you didn't see?"
"We saw." Raven said mildly. "Let's go home please. I need tea."
Beast boy sweat dropped and scattered away from the area Devion vanished in as tons of recruit teams came charging on by. "Yeah, this thing is creeping me out."
"Robin, I-" Starfire whispered, but boy wonder acted as if he didn't hear her and kept walking. "Thanks."
After many questions about Slade and Robin, the Teen Titans were finally able to return back to the Titan Tower in peace. Each going their own way, the teens never said a word to each other.
Maybe because of what just happen? Was it because almost every single villain they had faced, they beat? Because Slade was now in prison, and he was proofed as Robin's father? Whatever the case was, they were silent the whole night.
Valentines had ended and the enemies had ruined it for them. The Valentines Fair and Parade had passed and the chocolate they were supposed to give each other was all eaten by the bored Beast boy.
Morning rise was going to be up soon and the only one not in bed was Starfire, and maybe Robin. She was out on the rooftop like always, watching the sun readying itself to glisten up.
Robin noticed that she wasn't in her room, so he changed into some clothes consisting of blue jeans, white shirt and black sunglasses and opened the rooftop door slightly to peak out. And there she was, her long red hair blowing in the warm but crisp morning air, looking beautiful and serene.
Star was wearing light blue jeans with lime green slippers, a pink and light green long sleeve shirt and she was sitting along the edge with her hands behind her in a comfortable position.
She heard the door creak slightly and turned around.
"Starfire?" His beautiful voice said.
"Robin..."

"And so it begins."
Punch after kick before swipe of the staff, Robin's head was spinning with fury. He didn't care that he wasn't all strategy wise, all he cared about was killing this man claiming to be his father.

"Give it up Robin, you will never beat me. You might as well just say good bye to all your pathetic friends and be my apprentice just as a good son would do."
"Give it up 'Father', I will never become your apprentice. I will kill you before I do anything that stupid!" Robin popped back up with his hands and kicking his feet to keep his legs straight.
"Remember what I said about if you kill me- oof!" Slade was knocked in the head by Robin's forceful kicks, causing him to fall back to the wall hard, and slide down it. Part of his mask broke, and he was seething.
"If you kill me, then I'm taking Starfire down with me!" Slade wiped blood from his mouth. The mask had cracked from his mouth all the way to his right cheek, showing tan flesh.
Robin turned to Starfire's helpless eyes and smiled weakly. "Like hell you will!" Boy wonder ran at full speed and collided with Slade's fist, while the half-unmasked man felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen.

"Why won't you just kill me! You know I won't be your partner!" Robin groaned in pain. Slade leaned in close and whispered, "Because I'm not through with you yet."
"But...I'm...through with YOU!!" Robin kicked his feet on the ground, making him spring up and head butting Slade in the chin. The older replica of Robin dropped his son and faltered back, holding his wounded jaw.
"You will pay for that!"
"Whatcha gonna do? Bend me over your knee and spank me?" Robin grinned. Cackles from Cyborg and Beast boy could be heard from the side audience as Slade glared at his son.
"Why must you put up a fight!?" Slade snarled, running full blast at Robin. "We could take over the world together Robin! We could be the best!" Slaten Descrow unmasked kicked Robin in the guts, as Robin used his pole staff to knock him on the head.
Slade rammed boy wonder back and held him in a tight lock down on the ground. Robin growled from underneath him and held his pole staff secure in the navel of Slade's throat.
"You will become my apprentice Robin." He said calmly, swallowing hard against the pole on his throat.
"My answer still stands Slade...NO!" Robin jammed the pole up into Slade's neck, causing the man to grasp his throat and plunge back. It drew blood, but it didn't deepen to have serious injuries. Robin took the time to scramble into the shadows and let the darkness swallow his body.

"You remember what 'I' said Slade? I will be on your back soon enough!" Robin stepped out of the shadows and jumped on Slade's back, making the father fall to the ground.
"How dare you mention that to me!! You're not my father! You're a fucking monster! I'm going to kill you just like you killed mom! And I will enjoy it! Because you know what they say, 'like father, like son!'" Robin yelled, aiming the pole staff point at Slade's head.
"Remember what I said Robin, if I die, then Starfire comes along with me!" Slade, in a flash, pelted out a hidden short spear and aimed it at Starfire. Robin laughed. "They could easily dodge it you fool."
"Yes, indeed you are just like your mother you foolish boy! Do you not remember that I am a technologist? I specifically made this spear to kill Starfire, meaning go through anything, including Raven's powers. That spear is quicker than light itself!"

Cyborg and Starfire watched the happy Beast boy jump around with the embarrassed but flattered Raven in his arms. Raven turned really red when Beast boy smashed his lips to hers in joy, completely forgetting that his friends were right there. "I'm not dead, you're very much alive and everyone is here-"
"But Robin." Starfire said sadly.
Beast boy put down Raven and stepped a little away from her in embarrassment after noticing what he did. Cyborg chuckled at them and then turned sadly to Starfire.
"Star, he'll be okay, Slade won't kill him. C'mon! That's his only son!" He said.
"I just, I do fear that he will be hurt. Perhaps he never gazes upon the stars at night, and the only things he will witness are the heavens above! What if Slade-"
"Slade won't do anything, cause Slade has fainted. Cy call the recruit team to say we have captured Slade once and for all." Robin said proudly. The Tamaranean squealed with delight and engulfed him in a prize-winning hug.
"Robin!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Booya! Robin you hurt?"
"Will he be knocked out long enough for the police to get here?"
"Ding dong the witch is dead, which old witch?" Beast boy danced and sang happily as the teens looked at him strangely. "The wicked witch!"
'You are much cuter when you don't open your mouth.' Raven said to him through her thoughts. Beast boy didn't say a word, but stopped his dancing and glared to her. She smirked at him then winked.
"Robin I am gladdened to know that you have overcome to Slade's horrible needs!" Starfire squeezed his hand and smiled joyously. Robin returned the smile, but all was alerted quickly when another voice rang out.
"Glad to see that you have made it out safety Robin, I always knew you were better than your good for nothing father. You and I are alike! We both hated our fathers."
"Komand'r!" Starfire gasped. "I thought you ran away!" Blackfire stepped out from the darkness as rain poured from the sky and laughed heartily.
"As if Koriand'r, I have business to finish with you remember? I said I would get my revenge." The dark Tamaranean smirked evilly. "So let me finish what I was starting, your death."
The titans got into position, but Starfire flew up. "Need not help me, I am willing to fight to death if I have to." Blackfire let out another high squeaky laugh and flew up with her sister.
"Are you ready to die Starfire?"
"Only if you are ready to die with me."
"You will be the only one dying tonight."
"Oh sister, why must you detest me so and anger yourself?" Starfire started asking. She was going to continue, but a light purple firebolt hit her on her side, so she went soaring back.
She recovered easily with bright green eyes filled with anger and two large emerald starbolts in her small hands. "You will pay for that sister."
"Should we do something now?" Cyborg asked. Robin and Raven shook their head.
"You know, this 'not helping our friends when they are in trouble' is really starting to piss me off." Cyborg whispered to Beast boy, who nodded in agreement.
"Oh Koriand'r you young fool! Haven't you learned that I will always be better than you at everything!" Another blast of energy balls went aiming Starfire's way.
Dodging them and blasting hers her sister's way, Starfire growled. "Not anymore sister!" flipping over Blackfire, Starfire aimed her starbolts at the back of her sibling's head.
"Starfire, you are the most- oof!" The emerald ball went twirling Blackfire's way and ended up exploding in the back of her head, causing her to fall forward.
"SISTER!" Starfire screamed as she went flying down towards the descending Blackfire. "Don't fear! I'm coming to rescue you!"
"I got her!" Robin yelled, holding out his hands for the falling girl. Blackfire landed in Robin's arms safely and Starfire flew to them. "Is she undamaged?" Starfire squeaked in worry.
A loud thundering explosion came from behind Starfire and Robin's back, but they paid no attention to it, only the cares of Blackfire's health. Cyborg's mouth completely dropped at the sight, while Beast boy turned into a cat and hissed, raising all the hair on its back.
Raven tried to tell the caring teens, but they shook her off as Blackfire began to stir. "Komand'r are you unharmed?" Starfire whispered quietly.
"Koriand'r?" Blackfire moaned, peaking one eye open. Immediately the dark sister blasted Starfire away and chuckled. Robin dropped her in shock and ran to his 'friend'.
"Whoa hang on their Robin you can't just leave me here! We are meant for each other!" Blackfire yelled to him on the tips of toes. "Robin! We can be together forever! You don't need Starfire!"
Four strong hands grabbed both of Blackfire's arms and twisted them back. The older sister struggled and turned her head to see who it was. "Komand'r from planet Tamaran, you are under arrest once again. This time mistress you won't be escaping too easily."
"Don't! Get off of me! How did you find me here!" Blackfire gasped, twisting and turning. The two black aliens dressed in silver and gray put a large blast proof, or better yet, Blackfire proof, over the girl's body.
Komand'r started banging on the plastic body cell and even tried blasting it away. "What's going on!?" She rang out. "How did you find me here?!" The two guards started carrying her away and glared.
"You, Komand'r, are under arrest for bribery, false identification and escaping galactic prison. You will be locked up and will never see the stars again. No more questions or we will be forced to mute you." The largest guard said tonelessly. "Let's go Bob."
The guard 'Bob' nodded fiercely and said, "Right Bob." Guess both of their names are Bob.
"NOO!! I never got to be with ROBIN!!" Blackfire yelled, pounding on the plastic body cell. Robin and Starfire turned to her and waved. "WAIT! My sister can break me out! Sister dear! Tell them that I am under your care! Tell them that I have problems with my anger! Tell them I have a social- family problem!"
The two large guards turned to the walking Starfire and put down the cell that kept Blackfire inside. "Is this true Miss? Is this your problem child sister? Is she truly under your care?"
Starfire took one glance at Blackfire and shook her head. "I'm sorry sir, but I have not an idea who this 'Blackfire' is. She accused me to be her sister and then she tried to kill me. If I was truly her sister, would she have blasted me away?"
"I guess not. Thanks for your help miss. Have a good day now." Bob said, before taking the screaming Blackfire away. "LIAR!! KORIAND'R I WILL BE BACK FOR YOU!!" Was the last thing Blackfire said before getting shut away in the galactic police van.
"Starfire?" The titans asked nervously. Starfire turned to them and smiled as rain fell lightly on all of them.
"Yeah?"
"Are you back now? Or do you still think you belong with 'Slade'?" Beast boy asked uncertainly.
"I am all but unordinary. I know I am to be with you. I have been back but for a while now, why must you question?" She said sweetly.
Beast boy sweat dropped as Robin cleared his throat and pointed to the ship over his shoulder. "Then what was that back there? How come you talked like an earthling? And why did you lie to the police?"
"Yeah dude! I mean dudette! I thought we were the 'good guys'?" Beast boy said.
"We are! And I lied because I think that would have been the only way to get her in the galactic prison with out having another trial for a mild lock down. And to answer your question about my education in earthling speech, well I had been practicing it for a while now." She laughed.
Everyone but Raven fell to the ground in exasperation. "Well now that's over with, we are finally allowed to leave peacefully!" Robin said to all his 'alive' friends.
"Oh not quite. I am still here to gather what you thought I have lost. My queen." The same eerie voice Starfire always dreaded. The titans whipped around and searched the darkened yard. Rain started to fall hard as they searched, and finally a figure walked in their eye range.
"Good Evening Starfire." Devion smiled as rain drenched his trench coat and beautiful face. "Are you ready to follow me to a much...." He shivered. "Warmer place?"
"In your dreams." She spat.
"Yeah Daemon, just get away from here!" Beast boy yelled.
"Devion." Hell's son growled in defense.
"I'd think Daemon would fit you better because it is so close to 'demon'! And you and a demon are so much alike! You are both evil!" Cyborg snarled.
"Oh you have not seen evil until you have seen me in full form, half breed." Devion said thickly. Cyborg blasted out his sonic cannon and aimed it towards Devion.
"No!" Robin yelled. He walked in front of Cyborg and pointed the cannon down. "Leave him to me." Walking towards Devion, Robin looked once more at Starfire and smiled. "I think its time to fight for the love that's mine."
"Love? That's yours? Don't make me laugh!" Devion cackled. "You and Starfire would never be good because you wouldn't give her the time or day like I would."
"I could try!" Robin started circling Devion as Hell's son did the same.
"Trying isn't good enough for the lovely Starfire."
"Then I 'will'."
"No such thing as 'will' in your vocabulary my dear boy." Devion smiled evilly then attacked. He punched boy wonder in the face and Robin went flying back.
"Damn! That was a cheap trick! You are a cheater at fighting! Kick his ass Robin!" Beast boy yelled.
"Yes! Beat down that freakishly freaky freak Robin!" Starfire cheered. Raven looked at her strangely, but let out a smile.
"Go get him 'slugger'." Raven cheered sarcastically, pretending to punch the air.
"BOOYA!" Cyborg chanted as Robin got back in the game and jump kicked Devion in the face. The rain made it even harder because the long grass was getting slippery, so every time the fighters tried to land, they would slip.
Devion recovered instantly and took out his long spiked staff. Twirling it around him fancily, Hell's son aimed it at Robin's chest. Robin got out his plain metallic pole and held it in his hands.
"Two can play out that one Lil' 6!" Robin yelled. He charged at the same time Devion did and they both collided at full blast into each other.
"Why would you call me lil' 6?" Devion roared, trying to plunge the spikes into Robin, but boy wonder dodged them perfectly.
"Because," He panted. "You are the child of hell right? Your symbol is- hey you're cheating! – 666 and you are only part 6 so there fore that makes you Lil' 6!" Robin flipped over his opponent and kicked him in the back, making it crack.
"Did he just break his back?!" Cyborg said weakly. "Did Robin just kill a human?" Devion slid to the ground and made no movement, so Robin walked stealthily up to him, and kicked him over.
The dead boy's eyes were closed and he made no signs of breathing. Robin paled and looked at his feet. 'Did I just kill someone. Oh no! I am really like my father!'
"Robin! Are you undamaged?!" Starfire asked worriedly. She took a look at Devion and gasped, backing away. "Is he deceased?"
"Whoa, Robin, you killed a mortal!" Beast boy said affectedly. Robin broke down and landed on his knees in the puddled grass.
"I-I didn't mean to!" He said sadly. Robin didn't cry, but he felt sick, like a murderer.
"Robin, need to feel guilt! It was not your fault! Devion had it coming! Let us go home. The recruit team will be here shortly and they will dispose of the body later. Please let us just go-" Starfire gasped as something grabbed her leg. She looked down to find Devion's once perfectly straight legs wrap around hers in a curled, slick tail.
Devion's whole body was consumed into a dark black cobra and his eyes were the deepest of sanguine. In the middle of his eye was a darker than dark red slit and it made him appear more evil.
"What the hell is that?!" Beast boy yelled in confusion, as Devion grew larger.
"Ah, he is a demon!" Cyborg screamed.
"Oh calm down boys, we can take him." Raven said tonelessly, making her eyes turn white in defense.
"You killlllled me Rooooobin!" The cobra hissed. "Now I will have to forrrrrrrce the loooovely Starrrrrfire to hellll with meeee!" Devion's smooth and scaly tail wrapped tighter and tighter around the screaming with fear Starfire.
"Starfire!!" Robin yelled.
"Azarath Metrion Zynthos!" Raven yelled, flying up in the air and blasting her black powers at Devion the Cobra. Devion snapped at Raven, but was immediately rammed forward by Beast boy the ram and then blasted back by Cyborg's sonic cannon.
Robin stuck his metal pole into Devion's tail, causing Devion to loosen the grip on Starfire and recoil in his tail in pain. "Star!" Robin ran to her and caught her falling body.
She landed softly and then hugged her rescuer in relief. "Thank you much Robin!"
"C'mon buddy! Lets play!!" Cyborg punched the ground hard and it exploded causing bits of rock and grass into the cobra's eyes. He then blasted another ball of blue power from his gun.
Beast boy transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and started swinging his tail at Devion, making Hell's son fly back into a bunch of trees. Raven used her powers to hold him still as Robin stabbed him again in the chest and Starfire used her powers to keep blasting him with pain.
"NOO!" Devion hissed. He broke free of the powers and went to snap at Starfire when Robin jumped on her, blocking her from danger. It was to no avail because a large blue orb of safety blocked Devion's bite and damned him back.
"Whaaat!" He hissed. Devion charged again, only to be damned back once again. "What is going onnnn here?"
Thunder and lightning boomed and lit the sky and faint chuckling could be heard up above. Devion the cobra hissed in annoyance and turned to Starfire. "I will be back my looooovely Starrrrfire!"
Turning himself back into his human form, Devion collapsed on one knee and held on to his throbbing arm. Pulling up his shirt, he noticed that the name, 'Aroree' was burning red into his flesh.
Grasping it and groaning softly, he clenched his teeth and hit the ground hard. And in a heartbeat, he was swallowed into the red liquid hole coming from the earth.
"Where did he go?" Beast boy managed to choke out. "Did you guys see what I saw, or did I see Devion turn into a Cobra then vanish which you didn't see?"
"We saw." Raven said mildly. "Let's go home please. I need tea."
Beast boy sweat dropped and scattered away from the area Devion vanished in as tons of recruit teams came charging on by. "Yeah, this thing is creeping me out."
"Robin, I-" Starfire whispered, but boy wonder acted as if he didn't hear her and kept walking. "Thanks."
After many questions about Slade and Robin, the Teen Titans were finally able to return back to the Titan Tower in peace. Each going their own way, the teens never said a word to each other.
Maybe because of what just happen? Was it because almost every single villain they had faced, they beat? Because Slade was now in prison, and he was proofed as Robin's father? Whatever the case was, they were silent the whole night.
Valentines had ended and the enemies had ruined it for them. The Valentines Fair and Parade had passed and the chocolate they were supposed to give each other was all eaten by the bored Beast boy.
Morning rise was going to be up soon and the only one not in bed was Starfire, and maybe Robin. She was out on the rooftop like always, watching the sun readying itself to glisten up.
Robin noticed that she wasn't in her room, so he changed into some clothes consisting of blue jeans, white shirt and black sunglasses and opened the rooftop door slightly to peak out. And there she was, her long red hair blowing in the warm but crisp morning air, looking beautiful and serene.
Star was wearing light blue jeans with lime green slippers, a pink and light green long sleeve shirt and she was sitting along the edge with her hands behind her in a comfortable position.
She heard the door creak slightly and turned around.
"Starfire?" His beautiful voice said.
"Robin..."
