It was almost 8:00pm and Robin silently headed toward Starfire's room with a bowl of warm water on his lap and a face towel over his shoulder.
'Maybe she's sick...' Robin thought. When he reached her room, he quietly opened the door and brought himself over to her bed where she lay sleeping peacefully. Robin put a hand to her cheek.
'She doesn't feel warm. She's probably just tired.' Robin gently placed the bowl on her side table drawer. The Boy Wonder gently planted a kiss on the Tamaranian's forehead and started wheeling himself toward the door, but he stopped when he heard Starfire groan. He turned around and saw Starfire get up. Robin quickly forced his wheelchair backwards hoping to hide in the shadows of her room. Unfortunately, one of his wheels snagged a loose thread on her carpet and Robin fell over the back of the wheelchair, hiding only his head in the shadows.
'Great...'
Starfire looked around and saw Robin on the floor.
"Robin?"
"Uh...hey Star. Can you help me?" Robin blushed.
"Certainly." Starfire got out from under the covers and went over to the fallen boy and took his hand is hers. Robin shivered at her gentle touch. Slowly, she pulled him up with the wheelchair.
"Thanks." Robin said, rubbing his head.
"It was no trouble. Tell me, why were you in here?" Starfire asked.
"I...um...thought you were sick, so I brought you some stuff to help you cool down...or something."
"That was not necessary. I am feeling very well, but thank you for your concern." Starfire smiled.
"No problem."
+ ++ + In Slade's hideout
"Aroree!" Slade bellowed.
"Ugh! WHAT now?" Aroree was sitting on one of Slade's chairs in the corner, filing her nails.
"Why is the Tamaranian not asleep?" Slade asked, pointing to a humongous screen that showed Robin and Starfire walking down to hallway.
"Beats me. I heard that people from other planets are immune to my dust." Aroree didn't seem to care much.
"Wonderful." Slade scoffed sarcastically.
"Guess we need to come up with a new plan?" Aroree asked, being completely dense about how mad Slade is.
"Yes. But this time, I want you to plan it. See if you really are smart enough to work with me."
"Believe me, I'm smarter than you." Aroree insulted.
"I'll pretend you didn't say that." Slade said, controlling his anger.
"I'm smarter than you, I'm smarter than you, I'm smarter than you!" Aroree started to tease. Slade just clenched his fists.
'Once I get Robin in my hands, believe me Aroree. You'll be done for.'
+ ++ + The next morning
Beast Boy was sitting on the couch eating his favorite cereal, "Lee Minibebilopoloplous' Sugar coated Tofu." (A/N: Try to pronounce that. Thanks VanillaSuga!) Raven came out of the kitchen, sipping her herbal tea.
"Why do you eat that stuff? It's 95% sugar." Raven asked, referring to the cereal's unhealthiness.
"If I tilt my head up and add more sugar, it'll taste like 100% sugar." Said Beast Boy, totally missing Raven's point.
"Sometimes I wonder how you survive." Raven almost whispered and went to sit on the opposite side of the couch. She looked over at the calendar. February 13.
"Beast Boy, when is Valentines?" Beast Boy looked at his teammate bewildered.
"You don't' know when Valentines is?"
"I've never celebrated it." Raven confessed.
"It's um...not really a thing you celebrate. I guess it's all about kissy kissy goo goo stuff. Like you give the person you like a bunch of roses or whatever." Beast Boy shrugged. "I've never been all big about Valentines either. By the way, where's Cyborg?"
"In his room. He's been on the phone with Khavi all night. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still talking to her." Raven replied. "By the way, I found this flyer on the ground." Raven handed Beast Boy a pink paper and he read it outloud.
"Valentines Festival at Jump City National Park. This Saturday, February 14, 2004, 6:00pm - 11:00pm. Stay for the Firework display!" The paper was decorated with little hearts.
"I figured we could bring the whole team." Raven suggested.
"Cool." Beast Boy said, still staring at the paper. 'I swear that Raven is trying to get a date with me!' Beast Boy though, grinning like an idiot.
"Don't flatter yourself." Raven said sternly, not looking up from her book. Beast Boy smacked his head. 'Damnet! I forgot she could read minds.'
"Well don't forget it next time." Raven said, doing the mind reading a second time.
"STOP IT!" Beast Boy held his head for dear life and ran out of the living room.
"Guess I scared him." Suddenly Raven felt a negative force run through her. "What?!" She sensed something bad, really bad. The dark haired girl tensed up and a flower vase nearby burst into pieces.
"Oh gosh." Raven immediately cleaned up the mess. "What was that?" She said to herself.
+ ++ + Slade's lair
Aroree continued filing her nails, pretending to think up of a plan to get Robin.
"Aroree, have you come up with a plan?" Slade's hated voice rang through the hideout.
"It's coming." The sassy teen lied.
"Whew, is it hot in here or is it just me?" Aroree complained as she took off her leather jacket. As soon as that piece of clothing was off, her left bicep burned.
"Ah!" Aroree dropped her filer and held on to her bicep. "Why is it burning like that?!" When she removed her hand, she saw that the name embedded on her arm began to glow red.
"Who the hell is Devion anyway?!" The name of Devion continued to burn and glow. "Damnet!" She took a deep breath and blew on her arm. Soon her bicep was covered in ice.
"Aroree, I see that you have the power to breathe ice." Slade said, appearing in the light.
"Nice of you to notice, ouch! Was it you who put this blasted thing on my arm!?"
"This isn't my work." Slade replied simply.
"Well it would be nice to know who's work it is!" Aroree yelled.
"It is mine." A third voice came. It was deep and but irresistible.
"Lucifer. How nice of you to join us." Slade said. The owner of the third voice stepped out of the shadows. He was tall and lean standing at around 6'2". He wore a sophisticated black tux that had one red stripe down on the left side. He had pitch-black hair and his eyes seemed to be piercing whatever he was looking at, which right now was Aroree.
"Hello Aroree." Lucifer said in a straight tone. He walked over to Aroree and touched her arm, and soon the ice all melted.
"Hello... father." She choked on the last word.
"My, you have grown up since the last time I saw you."
"Of course, the last time you saw me was when I came out of mother's womb!" Aroree said, impatiently tapping her foot.
"Now now, still holding a grudge over what happened almost 17 years ago?" Lucifer asked in a teasing tone.
"A GRUDGE?! AFTER WHAT YOU DID, I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Aroree yelled. Lucifer just smirked while Slade just stood there with his hands behind him like a gentleman.
"Shouldn't you be watching Hell right now, burning a chicken or whatever you do now?" Aroree said, crossing her arms and looking away. Lucifer pulled a globe from his tux.
"I can watch it from this globe." Lucifer answered. "Now Slade, remind me why you have asked me up here?"
"I just wanted to explain to you the mission that I have assigned your daughter." Slade pointed to that same large screen that showed Robin. This time, he and Starfire were in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone. Robin seemed to be teaching Starfire how to make pancakes. Lucifer took notice to the girl.
"Isn't that the lady that my son, Devion wished to marry?" Lucifer said pointing at Starfire. Aroree immediately turned her head towards the man she hated.
"Devion? Son? You mean..." Aroree looked at her arm.
"Yes Aroree, he is your brother. Half-brother to be exact." Lucifer said.
"And I find out about this NOW?!" Aroree stomped her foot on the ground.
+ ++ + The Titans Tower
"No! Starfire you don't want to do th-!" Robin's face was covered in pancake batter just as he was about to finish.
"EEP!" Starfire's face was blasted with the same batter.
"What what?!" Beast Boy came running in and saw the two with the pancake batter all over their face. He bursted out laughing.
"HAHA! So you two... decided to get a... HAH... facial!?" Beast Boy said choking on a few laughs. Robin wiped the batter off his face.
"No, Starfire just turned the egg beater on high power."
"Forgive me, but Robin, you look like a Spazmoltian boar!" Starfire began to laugh.
"You don't look bad yourself Star." Robin joined the laughter. Beast Boy remembered the paper he was holding in his hands.
"Do you guys wanna go to the Valentines festival?" Beast Boy asked, handing the paper over to Robin.
"Firework display huh?" Robin questioned, eyeing out the pink paper.
"Wonderful! Just like last time's festivities!" Starfire seemed to be glowing.
"Yeah, this time without that purple goop taking you away." Robin said.
"Shall we go then?" Starfire asked.
"Sure, but it's this tomorrow. You'll have to wait." Robin reminded her, laughing at her impatient behavoir.
+ ++ + A/N: I would AGAIN love to thank VanillaSuga! Another chapter done! For you Robin&Starfire and BeastBoy&Raven fans, I will have that Valentines chapter up by this Saturday! I must add that I can't WAIT for this Saturday's episode. And no need to worry, me and VanillaSuga will be running over Kitty in no time. Much Love, Seventy 5ive!
