Chapter three - "how long can I hide?"
Robin felt the small metal sphere in his gloved hand. As he thought of it the memories flooded back. 'Starfire!' Panic surged through his heavy body and pain returned. He sat upright quickly but lay down again as the blood rushed to his head. He tried to look around but his spine wouldn't co-operate. Slowly robin manually lifted himself into a sitting position. Looking around he realised that he was on the sofa in the living room of Titans tower. The immense television towered over him. It seemed almost peaceful, but Robin's mind held the fearful pictures of what had happened. 'Starfire... Raven... both hurt, because... because of me...' The silence echoed painfully around his head getting louder and louder until it became unbearable. Finally Robin let out a strangled cry of pain, breaking the silence. 'Where is everybody?' Robin was still panicky but he had to let go of the pain that he harboured in his heart. Raising himself to his feet he walked to the door slowly. 'What if she's dead? No... she won't be...' These doubt's played in his head till he came to Starfire's door. It was open and Beastboy was sleeping in a chair next to Starfire's bed, his snore's the only sound in the room. As Robin entered the room he saw Starfire she lay on her bed, her long red hair was frizzy and burnt in several places. The scorch marks around her neck stabbed at him like a red- hot poker. 'Star... what have I done to you?' He tiptoed past Beastboy. Touching Starfire on the cheek he felt a warmth that only some one who was living gave. Her chest laboured up and down slowly. Breathing pained her. Robin bent over and kissed Starfire's pale forehead. "I have to go see Rae I'll come see you later." Robin whispered. Watching Beastboy he crept out of the room carefully so he didn't wake either of them.
'Ok. You're here to see Rae and you're acting like a concerned friend when I go to see Star later.' After this metal prep talk Robin knocked on the door of the forbidden room. "Robin you all right?" Cyborg's head peered around the door, he looked tiered but concerned. "Yeah I'm fine. Just here to see Raven." Robin put on his professional voice though he felt far from professional. "Sure." Cyborg stepped back and let Robin through. 'Now this room has character.' The black walls were lined with shelves that held objects from Raven's native world - Azarath. Robin was glad Raven had a carpet because he didn't want to disturb her. Raven was meditating in a corner of the room. A blood stained bandage above her left eye. 'i'm sorry...' "how is she?" Robin addressed Cyborg. "she'll be fine. She just needs to rest." The first aid course that Cyborg had taken shone through. "ok. If I'm need I'll be in the living room." Robin walked of in the direction of the living room.
Robin sat in a secluded corner of the living room. A card game set out in front of him. He was studying it closely. "what is he playing?" Beastboy puzzled. "solitaire." Raven answered in her usual monotone voice. "what is solitaire?" Starfire's ignorance was obvious and as usual she wasn't afraid to show it. "depends on what type you're playing." Cyborg answered. As the titan's watched Robin tidied away the cards and picked up a book.
'I know they're watching me. Oh I don't care. As long as I stay away they're safe.' Eventually Robin got sick of being ogled like an animal in a zoo. Picking up his book he left for his room.
'yellow might be nice, or maybe orange. Green? No Beastboy's room is green. Damn it!' robin stared at the blank grey walls. all he wanted to do was splash them with colour. 'if I'm going to stay in here I'm gonna have to like it.' Taking up the cards that lay on the bed, he threw them at the floor in anger. "how long can I hide?" the distress he felt leaking into his voice.
See I told you no-one died! Well thanks for reading please review with ideas and so on. I really what to hear from you! Sorry for the delay I had exams.
