Over Time: Chapter 3:
+ ++ +
Starfire sat in the middle on the wet road, holding Robin in her arms. It all happened so slowly through her eyes. The henchmen dissapearing, the truck coming, the crash. This was the hardest Starfire ever cried.
"I am truly sorry Robin.. if i had not gotten angry at you, you would not be in the state you are in now. Please, do not leave the team like this." Starfire was choking in between words. No one was around to help, it was 10 pm after all and Starfire and frightened the driver away. She took off Robin's cape and placed it over Robin, to keep the peircing rain from hitting his wounds. She reached into the side of her skirt with her shaky hand, looking for her Titan communicator.
"Robin, please hold on." She pressed the button on the communicator.
+ ++ + Back at the Titans Tower
"YEAH!! I'M WINNING." Beast Boy was drooling with anticipation, holding his controller.
"Game Over. Cyborg Wins."
"WHAT?!"
"I beat you at the last second little man." Cyborg said proudly.
"You're not getting away with this. NEW GAME!" Beast Boy restarted the game, but all of a sudden the screen showed another scene.
It was Starfire, in the rain. Crying.
Cyborg observed her surroundings.
"Star, whadda you doing on the road? It's not safe!" Cyborg told her
Beast Boy also remembered about Robin. "Is Robin there with you? Did that jerk apologize?"
Starfire began crying harder now. She then positioned her communicator to face Robin.
"There has been an accident! Please, come over here and help me, Robin is not breathing, and he is feeling cold."
They all gasped, even Raven.
"Oh no.." That was all that Raven could say.
"N-no! Is he ok?!" Beast Boy was even more squeaky sounding than he usually is. Cyborg headed for the garage.
"I'm getting the T-Car, we need to get Robin and Starfire out of the rain!" Cyborg began running now. Beast Boy and Raven followed. When they got into the city, Cyborg was concentrating on what was on the road. Raven and Beast Boy were in the back, next to each other.
"You guys, tell me if you see anything on the road." Cyborg was tense, and his fingers keep shaking, not from the cold.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" Beast Boy asked. Raven turned to face Beast Boy. She has never seen him so worried. She hated to see him like this.
"Robin can't do this to us.. do you think he'll-" he was shushed by Raven's finger on his lips.
"Don't say that Beast Boy, everything's gonna be alright, I promise." She gave him a smile, which made him feel surprised but little better.
"You guys, up ahead, is that them?" Cyborg pointed out.
"It's them." Raven confirmed. Cyborg stopped the car a few feet from them, and Beast Boy and Raven jumped out of the car.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," She lifted up Robin with her powers, with extra care and brought him to the T-Car. Cyborg couldn't go out into the rain, because of his robotic profile. Beast Boy was next to Starfire's side in an instant. She was still sitting there crying.
"Star, stop crying, shh, Raven says everything will be alright." Beast Boy helped her up and looked at her. He then gave her a hug, out of friendship and sympathy.
"Beast Boy, if Robin does not make it out of this, I will never be able to forgive myself." She hugged him back.
"No, don't talk like that. He WILL make it." Beast Boy helped Starfire back to car, when they got there, Beast Boy gave Starfire a towel and wrapped her in it. Raven did the same the Robin. Cyborg started the T-car and headed back to the Titans tower.
+ ++ + Somewhere else
"FOOLS!" The mysterious voice slammed his fist against the table.
"I wanted Robin back alive, and you leave him to get hit by a FED EX TRUCK?! IMBECILES." He yelled at the four henchmen.
"Actually sir, it wasn't a Fed EX truck, it was a-" The robot started, but his so called 'sir' pressed a button on a remote which automatically deactivated the robot.
"Why do I waste my time making henchmen who could talk.. but Robin, when you do awake, which I'm sure you will, I will make you my apprentice." The voice said to no one.
"And when the time comes, I will destroy the Titans, once and for all." The owner of the voice stepped in front of a large screen. In the reflection, it showed none other than..
Slade.
+ ++ + At the Titans tower Hospital Wing
Beast Boy was pacing around the white room, Raven was standing in the corner watching Robin incase something happened to him. Cyborg was standing next to Robin looking at Beast Boy annoyingly and Starfire was sitting the corner of the room, keeping her eyes on Robin.
"Man! I called that doctor an hour ago! How long does it take for a doctor to come here!" Beast Boy complained. Cyborg got annoyed for the last time and glared at Beast Boy.
"ONE, I called the doctor. TWO, it's only been ten minutes. THREE, the doctor said he needed to get all his supplies together, and he'll be here as soon as he could so STOP WORRYING. And FOUR, SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Cyborg yelled.
"Arguing isn't going to help Robin, so both of you just shut up." Raven said. Cyborg and Beast Boy knew better than to make her angry, so they stopped. Starfire got up and left the room without a word. When Beast Boy heard the doors closed he turned around to see her gone. He felt really bad, so he decided he should talk to her.
"Star! Wait up.." Beast Boy yelled. Starfire heard him but she kept on walking. Beast Boy was tired of getting ignored. He grabbed her arm and turned her around and stared her straight in the eyes. Starfire looked back at him.
"Star, talk to me. I know you're not alright." Beast Boy was actually being serious. Starfire was one of his closest friends, and he didn't wanna lose her, and the team. Starfire directed him to the couch and they both sat down. Starfire explained what happened ealier that day in Robin's room, Beast Boy's jaw dropped.
"Woah.. you actually said those things?"
"Indeed.." Starfire's head hung low.
"I.. didn't know you care about Robin so much." Beast Boy was always the last to find out everything, but Starfire never realized she cared about him a lot either. She eyes began to tear up again.
"What's wrong?" Beast Boy asked.
"I am so confused! I am so angry with Robin's working habits, and the way he is so obsessed with getting Slade. But even thought I am angry with him, I still care for him very much. He makes me feel important and special that it hurts me to do anything negative to him. I enjoy spending time with him, and he makes me feel a way that I have never felt before." Starfire said it so fast, it took several moments to get it through Beast Boy's mind.
"Ohh! You LOVE him, I get it now!" Starfire was shocked. 'Love? Is it really love?'. She thought back earlier that night with the stone tossing in the pond. It skipped three times. And at that exact moment, she had Robin on her mind. 'Could it be?'
"Perhaps.." Starfire said.
"Don't look so down! I see the way Robin looks at you, he must have feelings for you too! I think that's what Cy told me." Beast Boy said. Starfire's heart skipped a beat. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Beast Boy got up and walked over to the door. It was the doctor carrying two bags. Beast Boy helped him and guided him to the hospital wing. Starfire got off the couch and followed.
'Can what Beast Boy said be true?'
In the hospital room, the doctor was observing Robin.
"So you say he was hit with a car?" The doctor asked.
"Yeah, I think it was a driect hit.. was it Star?" Cyborg said.
"Yes."
"Well, I will have to run some test and call some extra nurses down here to help me, do you mind leaving me to my work?" The doctor requested.
"Not a problem, let's go you guys." Cyborg pushed Beast Boy out, and Raven followed. Starfire walked towards the door, and looked back at Robin. Her gaze was cut short when the doctor pulled the curtain around Robin's bed. She sighed and walked out the door. Starfire's communicator began beeping, and she asnwered it. She jumped at the voice she heard, and at the same time she wanted to smash the communicator.
"Hello Starfire. How is Robin?"
"Do not act like you care, Slade! It is YOUR henchmen who caused this!" Starfire yelled.
"On the contrary, if you didn't butt into his research, he wouldn't have gone after you. Therefore, it is YOU who caused all of this mess that Robin is in right now." Slade said.
"NO! You are wrong Slade! Leave me alone!" She turned off the communicator and ran into her room. Once she was in her room, she threw the communicator towards the other side of the room. Slade's words kept playing in her head like a broken record. 'Therefore, it is YOU who caused all of this mess that Robin is in right now." For some reason, half of her believed it. She couldn't stay. She didn't want to stay in a place where she was going to cause harm to her friends, and Robin.
"I cannot stay!" She said, furiously looking for her suitcase. When she found it she threw it on the bed and opened it, and began throwing all her of things in it. She stopped halfway and fell to her knees, sobbing into her hands.
"Robin, please forgive me.." She put her hands on the floor and stared at the ground. "Please.."
"Starfire..?" Starfire turned around to see Beast Boy and Cyborg in her doorway.
"You're.. not going to leave are you?" Beast Boy asked curiously. Starfire could do nothing but stare back at them. By leaving, she was going to make the biggest mistake of her life. Leaving the friends she loved so much.
"Star, it's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself." Cyborg put a hand on her shoulder.
"But.. if it was not for me then-" Starfire began.
"No, don't listen to what Slade said." Starfire's eyes widened. How did they know?
"We heard everything Slade said. We weren't very far from where you were." Cyborg explained.
"Whatever Slade says is bullshit! Don't give in to it, he might put you in the same situation Robin is in, just DONT listen to him!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Calm down BB."
"CALM DOWN?! One of my best friends is in the hospital wing and he could be DYING! And it's all Slade's fault! If he wants his own stupid apprentice he can just BUILD ONE since he claims he's a GENUIS! I mean he didn't have to put ROBIN through all of his SHIT and-" Starfire cut Beast Boy off by hugging him.
"Please Beast Boy, stop your mean talking. I am sure Robin will be alright. You told me so."
"Let's just go eat something, that will probably calm everyone down." Cyborg said. They all walked out of Starfire's room and headed for the kitchen. When they got there, the doctor was talking to Raven.
"Well, I best be going now. I told Raven the news, I'll be back tomorrow to check on Robin." The doctor left through the door. Starfire glided towards Raven.
"Raven, what has the jolly man with the silver plate on his head tell you?" Starfire was really anxious to find out with happened to Robin.
"Robin's in a coma right now. And he's not sure, but he says that most of the nerves in his legs aren't functioning."
"Coma?" Starfire was confused.
"He's asleep."
"Then we shall go wake him!" Starfire exclaimed.
Cyborg shook his head. He thought Starfire's bluntness was adorable.. child- like really, for some reason he always thought it was really cute when she was acting like this towards Robin. He chuckled and started speaking.
"No Star, we can't wake him up. He has to wake up on his own."
"Oh? I do not get it." Starfire was very lost.
"He's unconcious from his injury, and when he gets enough rest, then he'll wake up" Cyborg said.
Starfire was dissapointed. "Oh." Everyone could tell.
"Don't worry Star, at least he's still alive." Beast Boy gave Starfire a reassuring smile.
"And another thing, the doctor said that we could visit him tomorrow morning, after the doctor runs a few tests." Raven continued.
"Great!" Beast Boy said, "Now who wants some tofu?"
"Not on your life BB." Cyborg responded.
It was already 1:00 in the morning, three hours after the accident. All the Titans couldn't get to sleep and were in the living room, except for Raven, who was meditating in her room. Starfire had a few thoughts on her mind.
'The doctor said that we could see Robin in the morning. And technically is it indeed morning.' She looked at the clock. 1:03 am.
"I am going to my room, good night friends." She said quickly and took off.
"What did she say?" Beast Boy asked. His eyes were glued to the screen as he tried to beat Cyborg, yet again.
"You never listen, do you? She said she's going to get the broom to kill the termites under her bed! Now shut up and play the game!" Cyborg's eyes were also stuck to the screen.
Starfire glided down the hallway, but instead of turning left where her room is, she turned right towards the hospital wing. When she got to the door, she saw that something blocked it. Something black. She heard someone behind her and she quickly turned around. It was Raven.
"Raven! Hello!" Starfire sweat dropped. "What are you doing here?"
"Unh uh, what are YOU doing here?" Raven asked.
"Well.. you said that the doctor said Robin is able to recieve visitors in the morning, and it is-"
"When I said morning, I meant after sunrise." Raven intrerupted.
"Oh.. I am sorry."
"Don't be, but listen, you need to stop worrying about Robin.. the doctor said he'll be fine, and now you go get some rest." Raven still blocked the doors with her powers.
"Perhaps I will." She walked to her room. When Raven made sure that Starfire was gone, she stopped summoning her powers.
"Puppy love.." She muttered. She started floating back to her room, but when she turned the corner, something crashed into her and knocked her off her feet. When Raven looked up, she saw what knocked her down.
Beast Boy.
"Uh.. sorry Raven, I saw Starfire come here and I figured she was gonna visit Robin, and I came here to stop her." Said Beast Boy in one breath.
"You're kind of late. I took care of that." She said simply.
"Well you know, I had to beat Cyborg in that video game, seeing as how good I am!" Beast Boy explained.
"Did you beat him?"
"No.."
'Pathetic.' Raven thought as she left without saying a word to Beast Boy.
+ ++ + Starfire's Room
Starfire lay in her bed, with her feet on the pillow and her head hanging off the edge of the bed. She thought about Robin, like she's been doing for the whole day. She then flipped over on her stomach and went searcing under her bed. When she found what she was looking for, she held it up. It was a button from one of her jackets. She threw the button across her floor and it skipped three times. She didn't know if it worked the same as the pebble on the pond did, but she believed it.
It was true. She loved Robin.
It all came togethers. Beast Boy said it, The pebble on the pond showed it, the button on the floor showed it, and her feelings showed it. It scared her more than anything. She loved her best friend. She couldn't deny it any longer. She fell asleep shortly after that, and a nightmare followed.
The nightmare showed Robin falling in complete darkness. Starfire was flying after him, trying to reach Robin, but everytime she got close enough to grab him, he would fall faster.
"Starfire! Don't let Slade get me! I don't want to be his apprentice again.. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU" His voice was getting louder, and he sounded so scared.
"Robin, do not worry! I will not let Slade harm you again! I promsie you that!" She extended her arm to get Robin. But this time the large hand from her previous dreams came from under him andgrabbed him before Starfire could. But the nightmare wasn't over yet.
Everything was still completely black. But a voice came.
"Starfire.." The voice was masculine and Starfire recognized it in a heartbeat.
"Robin?" Starfire said it in her nightmare and outloud.
"Star, you promised.."
"What? I do not understand.." The voice didn't say anymore and Starfire was getting worried. At last, there was a light, and Robin stepped out of it. Starfire was relieved, but she noticed that he looked different. He was in Slade's suit.
"Robin.." Starfire gasped.
"Starfire, you promised you wouldn't let Slade get me." His voice was cold. "How could you break your promise to me?!"
"No! I did not brea-" Starfire stopped when she saw Robin raise and aim the thermo blaster at her.
"Robin, no.." She stared wide-eyed at him. Then a third voice came.
"Robin is under my control now. Nothing you say can stop him from what he is going to do now. He can say whatever he wants, but all his actions are up to me." Slade's eerie voice said. Starfire looked at Robin's arm. She could tell he was trying to force it down. Slade was telling the truth.
"Robin. Shoot her" Slade commanded.
"NO! STARFIRE I'M SORRY!" Robin yelled. But he couldn't do anything about it. The thermo blaster on his arm shot right at her. Starfire just stood there and watched the red energy ball come closer and closer.
+ ++ + A/N: Ok, the dream thing was an actual dream I had, and that's exactly how it happened. Robin, Starfire, Slade. I thought it was cool, so I used it in my fanfic. I'm sorry if it was short. Was it short? Well I already started planning out chapter four when I was at school, and I'll be typing that out now. REVIEW! Much Love, Seventy 5ive

"Puppy love.." She muttered. She started floating back to her room, but when she turned the corner, something crashed into her and knocked her off her feet. When Raven looked up, she saw what knocked her down.
Beast Boy.
"Uh.. sorry Raven, I saw Starfire come here and I figured she was gonna visit Robin, and I came here to stop her." Said Beast Boy in one breath.
"You're kind of late. I took care of that." She said simply.
"Well you know, I had to beat Cyborg in that video game, seeing as how good I am!" Beast Boy explained.
"Did you beat him?"
"No.."
'Pathetic.' Raven thought as she left without saying a word to Beast Boy.
+ ++ + Starfire's Room
Starfire lay in her bed, with her feet on the pillow and her head hanging off the edge of the bed. She thought about Robin, like she's been doing for the whole day. She then flipped over on her stomach and went searcing under her bed. When she found what she was looking for, she held it up. It was a button from one of her jackets. She threw the button across her floor and it skipped three times. She didn't know if it worked the same as the pebble on the pond did, but she believed it.
It was true. She loved Robin.
It all came togethers. Beast Boy said it, The pebble on the pond showed it, the button on the floor showed it, and her feelings showed it. It scared her more than anything. She loved her best friend. She couldn't deny it any longer. She fell asleep shortly after that, and a nightmare followed.
The nightmare showed Robin falling in complete darkness. Starfire was flying after him, trying to reach Robin, but everytime she got close enough to grab him, he would fall faster.
"Starfire! Don't let Slade get me! I don't want to be his apprentice again.. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU" His voice was getting louder, and he sounded so scared.
"Robin, do not worry! I will not let Slade harm you again! I promsie you that!" She extended her arm to get Robin. But this time the large hand from her previous dreams came from under him andgrabbed him before Starfire could. But the nightmare wasn't over yet.
Everything was still completely black. But a voice came.
"Starfire.." The voice was masculine and Starfire recognized it in a heartbeat.
"Robin?" Starfire said it in her nightmare and outloud.
"Star, you promised.."
"What? I do not understand.." The voice didn't say anymore and Starfire was getting worried. At last, there was a light, and Robin stepped out of it. Starfire was relieved, but she noticed that he looked different. He was in Slade's suit.
"Robin.." Starfire gasped.
"Starfire, you promised you wouldn't let Slade get me." His voice was cold. "How could you break your promise to me?!"
"No! I did not brea-" Starfire stopped when she saw Robin raise and aim the thermo blaster at her.
"Robin, no.." She stared wide-eyed at him. Then a third voice came.
"Robin is under my control now. Nothing you say can stop him from what he is going to do now. He can say whatever he wants, but all his actions are up to me." Slade's eerie voice said. Starfire looked at Robin's arm. She could tell he was trying to force it down. Slade was telling the truth.
"Robin. Shoot her" Slade commanded.
"NO! STARFIRE I'M SORRY!" Robin yelled. But he couldn't do anything about it. The thermo blaster on his arm shot right at her. Starfire just stood there and watched the red energy ball come closer and closer.
+ ++ + A/N: Ok, the dream thing was an actual dream I had, and that's exactly how it happened. Robin, Starfire, Slade. I thought it was cool, so I used it in my fanfic. I'm sorry if it was short. Was it short? Well I already started planning out chapter four when I was at school, and I'll be typing that out now. REVIEW! Much Love, Seventy 5ive
