Over Time: Chapter 7: Nocturnal Fear II and Unwanted Messages
+ ++ +
The air was nice and cool. It was a great day to go out. The Titans were at the fair, enjoying themselves. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing a game and had just won Raven a giant chicken.
"A giant chicken. I must be the luckiest girl in the world." She complimented sarcastically.
The Boy Wonder and the Tamaranian were on a ferris wheel watching a breath- taking firework display. The beautiful Tamaranian, Starfire, was interested, since this was her first time seeing one of them.
"Beautiful.. tell me, what are they called?" She asked Robin.
"Fireworks." He responded.
"On my home planet, such explosions would mean the Gordanians were attacking. You are certain Earth is not under attack?" She asked with a little concern. Robin looked at her for a second and chuckled.
"Positive." Robin looked at the cotton candy in his hand and offered them to Starfire, "Cotton candy?" Starfire studied the pink fluff he was holding.
"The last time I ate a ball of cotton, it was white and did not taste very- " She was interrupted by Robin.
"This is different." He proved it by eating a piece. She tried a piece herself.
"Mmm.. hmm? It vanished!" She was alarmed when the candy in her mouth dissolved. Robin laughed.
"Yeah, it'll do that." He liked it when Starfire would act like this. She was like an adorable little child, and it made him feel good that he was the one who taught Starfire things she never knew. He was snapped out of his thoughts when she let out a sigh.
"When I first came to this planet, I did not think I would ever fit in. Earth was full of strange things, but now I see that-" Starfire started, but Robin suddenly seemed to punch the air in excitement.
"Here comes the finale! Yes!!" Starfire smiled and looked at Robin.
"Earth is full of amazing things too." Robin didn't catch what she meant.
"Best planet I've ever been to." Robin said and gave Starfire a smile. Starfire looked out into the sky, only to see something purple grab her away from Robin.
"Starfire!"
The scene faded to black, and when anything showed again, Robin was no longer at the festival. This time he was leaning against his wall holding up a mask of one of Slade's henchmen. Starfire was at his side, looking at the ground.
"You wanna yell at me too? Everyone else has. And I can't blame them" His tone was kind of harsh, and he hoped Starfire wouldn't catch that. Luckily, she didn't.
"I do not wish to yell, merely to understand. Robin, why did you not tell us the truth?"
"I needed to fool Slade. If you guys knew it was me under that mask, you would've held back." He paused. "It doesn't matter anyway, Slade figured it out. And I still haven't figured out anything about him." He kept his eyes on the mask in his hands. For some reason, Starfire seemed hurt by these words.
"That is not true. Whoever Slade is, you and he are.. similar; Slade did you trust you.." She thought about her next words. "And you did not trust us." She gave Robin one more look, and walked out the door.
All of a sudden, a different scene came, a scene that happened almost 3 months ago. Robin and Starfire were on the roof of WAYNE corps. Starfire had her green starbolts aimed at Robin, and he had his thermo blaster ready to shoot. Suddenly she lowered her arm and her next words seemed to strike him as a surprise.
"Robin, you are best friend. I cannot be in a world where we must fight. If you are truly evil then go ahead, do what you must." Robin's eyes widened at what she just said. Was she really leaving her life in his hands?
"Starfire, No.. I-" He was cut off by a horrible noise from his earpiece. Slade's voice.
"Robin! I gave you an order. If you won't attack, my probes will."
Starfire was strangely turning an orange color. So were Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg. As Starfire was falling out of the sky in pain, Robin caught her in his arms.
"Starfire!" Everything after that seemed to fast-forward. They were all at Slade's liar this time and Slade had activated the probes again. When Robin saw that his friends were going through the same pain they just had, he had the virus go through him too by touching the probe ball that was flashing.
'If Starfire has to die.. I don't want to live.' He walked up to Slade.
"New deal Slade, if I lose my friends, you lose your apprentice." Robin said harshly. "And I know how you hate to lose." Robin fell to the ground.
(A/N: Anything after this is something I thought of. It wasn't in the show.)
Slade stared at Robin.
"What? You're willing to die for your friends?!" Slade was furious.
"For my friends AND Starfire.." His tone didn't change. Slade hated to lose, just as Robin had said. He grunted and kept his gaze on Robin.
"You'd die for your useless friends, and a dim-witted alien girl?" Slade asked, not trying to sound desperate. Robin kept his face stern, even though the pain inside was eating him alive.
"Obviously, you've never been in love." Robin managed to say, turning his head to look at Starfire. Slade looked at Starfire also and laughed.
"So this alien has been the disturbance. No problem." Slade took out the same thermo blaster that Robin had. But it didn't have a red beam, this time it was black.
"Say goodbye." Slade shot the thermo blaster straight at Starfire.
+ ++ +
"STARFIRE!" Robin jolted up from the hospital bed and jumped off, but only to fall to the ground.
"What?! I can't feel my legs!" Robin looked around.
'I'm not in Slade's liar. I'm in the hospital room! What happened? Where's my legs? Where's Starfire!?' So many questions flew through his head. He turned his head and saw Starfire sleeping peacefully on a chair, with a blanket wrapped around her. He was only a few feet away from her.
He wanted to get up and hug her so badly. He was relieved when he figured that it was all a dream, mostly flashbacks. From the good to the bad. But he remembered that he couldn't feel his legs.
"Starfire.." He whispered, trying to wake her. He didn't want to wake her up surprised.
"Starfire.." He whispered again, a little louder. He'd hate to wake her up from her peaceful slumber.
"Psssst! Star-" Robin was interrupted by the noise he wanted to hear last, a loud, LOUD voice.
"ROBIN! YO DUDE YOU'RE AWAKE! CY! GET IN HERE!"
'Damnet Beast Boy..' Robin thought. Starfire began to stir. She blinked her eyes a few times and looked at the empty bed.
"Where's Robin?!" She jumped up. Robin raised his hand.
"Present." He said, sheepishly.
"Robin! You are awake!" She was on one knee looking straight at Robin. Her eyes were tearing up again.
Robin frowned. "Starfire, what's wrong?" He was answered by a breath-taking hug, a REAL breath-taking hug.
"Oh Robin! You are alright!" She was choking the life out of him.
"Yeah Star.. I'm fine." He managed to wriggle out of her grasp. Cyborg ran into the room with drool coming out of the side of his mouth.
"BB, what the HECK did you call me in here for? It's 2 something in the mor- ROBIN!" He wiped the drool off his face.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty. Sleep much?" Beast Boy joked.
"How long was I asleep?" Robin asked.
"12 days bro. 12 long days." Cyborg emphasized the word long.
"What?"
"You were in a coma, Robin. You were unconscious from the truck that hit you." Starfire said.
'Truck.. truck.. THE BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT! I remember.. when did I get hit?' Robin was trying hard to remember. 'Oh yeah, when Slade's henchmen attacked me.. on the road.. next to the park.. where I was going to apologize to-' He cut his thoughts short.
"Starfire! I am SO sorry!" Robin said out loud. Starfire stared at him, confused.
"I'm sorry for being all worked up about Slade, I'm sorry for hurting you, I'm sorry for not spending time with you. I'm sorry." Robin said in an instant. Starfire gave him a loving look at hugged him again.
"Oh Robin! All is forgiven! You do not know how happy I am that you are ok!" Starfire got up and helped Robin, but he fell again. Starfire gasped, forgetting his legs were paralyzed.
"I am sorry Robin!"
"It's ok Star.. hey, why can't I feel my legs?" Robin asked, pounding his legs with his fists. He was surprised to feel nothing.
"Your legs are paralyzed, from the accident. The doctor reassures us that it's temporary." Cyborg explained. Beast Boy got the wheel chair from under the bed and unfolded it. Starfire helped Robin to the wheel chair. The news seemed to hit Robin hard. What was he going to do with his paralyzed legs? He clenched his fists.
'Slade, when I'm able to walk again, I promise that I'm going to hurt you.' He thought viciously.
"Dude! Try these on!" Beast Boy grabbed the slippers and slipped it on his feet. It fit perfectly and Beast Boy was ecstatic.
"I KNEW I got the right size."
"Yeah, yeah, Cinderella!" Cyborg said sarcastically. Starfire was so happy that Robin was ok. She looked over at him and saw that he was staring at the ground. She kneeled in front of him and looked straight into his masked eyes.
"Robin, what is the matter?" Robin looked up and his eyes met with hers. Those were the most beautiful eyes he's ever seen. Emerald green, full of love and compassion.
"With my legs paralyzed, I'm not that independent. I might need help in a lot of things that I used to be able to do by myself." He said disappointedly.
"Do not worry. I will be the one to help you." Starfire beamed. Robin gave her a smile, and he was gifted by a radiant smile from her.
"Thanks Star." He said softly. The peaceful moment was interrupted by loud snoring. They all turned their heads in that direction. Beast Boy was on the ground sleeping, and snoring. Cyborg slapped his own forehead.
'One way or another, he finds a way to ruin things.' He walked over to Beast Boy and kicked him gently at first. Then again. Cyborg's vein popped.
'He's not budging.' He gave Beast Boy one final kick. This time it was hard and sent him across the room.
"AAHH!" Slam! Beast Boy was plastered on the wall like some ugly wallpaper.
"Ungh.. DUDE what was that for?!" He turned his head to Cyborg.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
"Guys, where's Raven?" Robin asked.
"She's sleeping. She's tired from the whole scenario that happened a few hours ago." Cyborg explained.
"Scenario?" Robin raised an eyebrow. (A/N: I don' think his eyebrows are visible. Let's just say he raised his mask.)
"Yeah, when you died, Raven used up like almost all of her powers to revive you." Beast Boy blurted out without thinking. He was still stuck to the wall.
"I.. died?" Off to the side, Starfire's eyes beginning to water. Robin turned his head her way.
"Star?" Robin asked. Before Starfire could answer, Cyborg peeled Beast Boy off the wall and dragged him towards the door.
"We.. uh.. gotta cook breakfast!" Cyborg said, knowing that something was going to happen between those two.
"Breakfast?! It's only 3 in the morning!" Was all Beast Boy could say before a metallic hand flung him out the room. Robin stared at the door for a second, bewildered. Then he turned his attention back to Starfire, who was trying to fight back tears.
'Star.. don't do this, I hate to see you cry.' He silently thought, partly hoping that she heard him.
"Starfire?"
"Robin, when you died, I thought I had lost my best friend forever! I do not ever want to live in a life without the one person who showed me what life meant!" She started to sob. Robin took her in his arms and let her cry into him.
"Star, I'm not dead. I didn't even know I died." He hugged the crying girl tighter. "I'm not going anywhere. I wouldn't want to."
"Do you promise?" She looked up to him.
"Promise." He said confidently.
"Good." She smiled. "Let us go find Beast Boy and Cyborg and assist them in our early breakfast!" She wheeled Robin out of the room.
+ ++ +
"Let's start off the morning with TOFU!" Beast Boy announced, juggling three packs of tofu.
"Tofu? No one likes your tofu." Cyborg argued.
"I do." Beast Boy said defensively.
"Well that's you. Four against One, meat it is."
"No ABSOLUTE way!" Beast Boy retorted.
"Tofu can kiss my butt."
"How bout.. NO!? Meat is disgusting! How can you eat this stuff?" Beast Boy yelled, holding up a plate of pepperoni.
"There's no meat in pepperoni you veggie. And GIVE me that! I'm making pizza." Cyborg grabbed the plate from the green teen's hands. Robin and Starfire had just arrived in the living room.
"Pizza for breakfast?" Robin asked. It was only 3:30am.
"We have not gone out since the accident. And we did not have the heart to leave you in the tower alone." Starfire said, setting up plates.
"Yeah, and now we're celebrating with our favorite food!" Cyborg said, sprinkling the pepperoni over the tomato sauce covered dough. Beast Boy stared at the pizza in disgust.
"You mean YOUR favorite food." Beast Boy said, sneakily picking out the pepperoni and replacing them with peppers. "Where's Raye?"
"I'm here." Raven said, walking out of the hallway, looking the same as ever. She walked over to the kitchen and spotted Robin.
"I see you're doing well."
"Yeah. I am. Thanks for.. you know.."
"For saving your life? No problem. Anything for the team." Raven finished for Robin.
"Ok, now that everyone's here, let's pop this baby in the oven!" Cyborg said turning to the pizza. His eyes balled out when he saw peppers instead of pepperoni.
"BEAST BOY!"
***PLEASE STAND BY; THIS SCENE CONTAINS TOO MUCH VIOLENCE BETWEEN BEAST BOY AND CYBORG (A/N: heh.) ***
In the background you can hear sounds like; Punch!
Slam!
Kick!
"Take that BB!" Smash!
"AHH! NOT THAT!" ZZTTZTZTZ
***NOW BACK TO THE STORY***
Beast Boy was stuffed in the toaster, while the pepperoni pizza was baking in the oven. Robin stared at the green boy in the toaster.
'I didn't know Cy could do that..'
DING
"Pizza's ready!" Cyborg announced, taking out the pizza. Raven walked over to the toaster and pressed the button down. In a matter of seconds, Beast Boy popped up.
"The tofu master is ready." Raven said sarcastically, using her powers to bring Beast Boy to his normal shape. Beast Boy stomped over to the stove with toaster wire marks on his face.
"I'll make my own tofu."
After breakfast, Robin wheeled himself over to the living room to watch Beast Boy and Cyborg battle it out in video games, Starfire was doing the dishes, and Raven was reading a book on the other side of the couch.
"Take that metal butt!"
"You're gonna wanna take that back." I (The Author) bet you could guess who was saying that.
"Game Over. Beast Boy wins."
"WHAT?!"
"YEAHHHH!!!" Beast Boy started doing his 'special' victory dance.
"First Starfire, now Beast Boy?!" Cyborg started complaining.
"Wow. Must be a sign of the apocalypse." Raven said sarcastically.
The t.v. flashed into another screen. It wasn't the video game that Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing. The screen was just black. Pitch black.
"Hello Titans."
Robin, who was half asleep on his wheelchair sat straight up and clenched his fists.
"Slade."
"Robin, I see that you are doing well." The horrid voice spoke.
"What do you want?"
"You should already know that Robin. I want you."
'Jeez, Slade acts like as if he wants to rape Robin.' Beast Boy thought.
"You, Slade, have done enough damage as it is." Raven spoke.
"I'm not even starting." Slade replied. His tone didn't change. Robin couldn't do anything, but get more angry.
"Robin, my my, what are you doing in that cheap automobile?" Slade said, holding in a giggle.
"This is all your fault, you know that right?" Said Robin, keeping his cool.
"Don't blame me Robin, it was my henchmen who-"
"DON'T start with me Slade!"
"Too bad I already did. And I'm far from through."
"Slade, Shut up." Beast Boy blurted. Raven covered his mouth with her black veil.
"Talkative I see."
"Just leave us alone." Robin said. Cyborg walked over to the screen to close it. Slade's voice stopped him.
"Before I go, I have a present for you." Slade enquired.
"Man, just go talk to a robot or something!" Cyborg said.
"Well, I might as well talk to y-" Slade started, but Cyborg ended by pressing the button.
"Present? I'm not accepting it." Robin said, crossing his arms.
Seconds after, the four Titan's heard an ear-shattering scream.
"Starfire!" Robin yelled, going as fast as he could to the kitchen on his wheelchair.

A/N: Cliffhanger enough? Hope so. Well yes, ROBIN IS AWAKE! Woopie! I fixed chapter 6, the one with the song. I though it was kinda messed up. Well, I hope you enjoyed it! Much Love, Seventy 5ive.

"Pizza's ready!" Cyborg announced, taking out the pizza. Raven walked over to the toaster and pressed the button down. In a matter of seconds, Beast Boy popped up.
"The tofu master is ready." Raven said sarcastically, using her powers to bring Beast Boy to his normal shape. Beast Boy stomped over to the stove with toaster wire marks on his face.
"I'll make my own tofu."
After breakfast, Robin wheeled himself over to the living room to watch Beast Boy and Cyborg battle it out in video games, Starfire was doing the dishes, and Raven was reading a book on the other side of the couch.
"Take that metal butt!"
"You're gonna wanna take that back." I (The Author) bet you could guess who was saying that.
"Game Over. Beast Boy wins."
"WHAT?!"
"YEAHHHH!!!" Beast Boy started doing his 'special' victory dance.
"First Starfire, now Beast Boy?!" Cyborg started complaining.
"Wow. Must be a sign of the apocalypse." Raven said sarcastically.
The t.v. flashed into another screen. It wasn't the video game that Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing. The screen was just black. Pitch black.
"Hello Titans."
Robin, who was half asleep on his wheelchair sat straight up and clenched his fists.
"Slade."
"Robin, I see that you are doing well." The horrid voice spoke.
"What do you want?"
"You should already know that Robin. I want you."
'Jeez, Slade acts like as if he wants to rape Robin.' Beast Boy thought.
"You, Slade, have done enough damage as it is." Raven spoke.
"I'm not even starting." Slade replied. His tone didn't change. Robin couldn't do anything, but get more angry.
"Robin, my my, what are you doing in that cheap automobile?" Slade said, holding in a giggle.
"This is all your fault, you know that right?" Said Robin, keeping his cool.
"Don't blame me Robin, it was my henchmen who-"
"DON'T start with me Slade!"
"Too bad I already did. And I'm far from through."
"Slade, Shut up." Beast Boy blurted. Raven covered his mouth with her black veil.
"Talkative I see."
"Just leave us alone." Robin said. Cyborg walked over to the screen to close it. Slade's voice stopped him.
"Before I go, I have a present for you." Slade enquired.
"Man, just go talk to a robot or something!" Cyborg said.
"Well, I might as well talk to y-" Slade started, but Cyborg ended by pressing the button.
"Present? I'm not accepting it." Robin said, crossing his arms.
Seconds after, the four Titan's heard an ear-shattering scream.
"Starfire!" Robin yelled, going as fast as he could to the kitchen on his wheelchair.
