Teen Titans fic! Be sure to read that, we're planning it right now. Hope
every one of you will read it. Well, here goes the last chapter of Over
Time! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
Over Time: Chapter 16: Love Is Just A Step Away
"I'd like to try and walk by myself." Robin said confidently. Everyone, especially the doctor gave him concerned looks.
"Robin, are you sure?" The doctor asked. Robin looked at the Titans one by one and took in a deep breath.
"I'm sure." The Titans and the doctor knew he wasn't lying.
"If you wish Robin." The doctor allowed. Meanwhile, Starfire was in the waiting room just reading a magazine. She turned around to look into the room, which had a two-way mirror so that whoever was outside could see in, however the people inside can't see out.
Robin tried to get himself up with his arms from his wheelchair, but he fell back down several times and Starfire winced each time. Cyborg and Beast Boy were at his side, helping Robin up. When he was standing, with the support of his friends, he stared straight at the white wall. He tried lifting his left foot but was having trouble.
"Beast Boy, let go." Robin said. Beast Boy obeyed and let go of his left arm, which he was supporting.
It took a while for Robin to lift his paralyzed leg, but he managed to get it off the floor by an inch. He moved his leg a little forward, getting ready to take a step.
"Cyborg, I can do this now." Robin gave his robotic friend a confident smile and Cyborg let go. But at that moment, Robin fell to the ground. Starfire shot up from her chair and pressed up against the glass.
"Robin, get up." Starfire whispered to herself.
Robin pounded a fist on the ground. "Shit..." He said softly though everyone in the room could hear.
"Robin, it's ok, you can try again." Raven encouraged.
"Yeah man, it won't hurt to try." Cyborg offered Robin a hand but he didn't take it.
"I can't..."
"Can't? That's not like you Robin, you can do-"
"No I can't!" Robin interrupted Beast Boy, but he didn't step back.
"You're going to be that Boy Wonder I know, and you're gonna get the hell up and try again." The green teen said. Robin was touched by his friends' encouragement, but a little offended from his outburst. He asked Beast Boy and Cyborg to help him up. Robin started at the same place he did before and tried to start with his right foot this time. The procedure went the same, but this time Cyborg was the first to let go.
"You ready Robin?" Beast Boy asked. Robin hesitated to answer but finally he turned to his friend and nodded. Beast Boy seemed to hesitate too. Slowly, he let go of Robin's arm. Unfortunately, he fell again. Raven stared at Robin and gave him a mind message.
'Look, don't worry about it. Just get up and try again.' Robin didn't seem surprised about her new skill.
"I wish Star was here..." He admitted silently.
Starfire couldn't stand this. She mustered up her courage and silently walked into the room, without Robin noticing. This was easy since his face was practically kissing the ground. Starfire took a stand on the wall opposite from where Robin was. She innocently folded her hands behind her back and looked down at Robin. Beast Boy saw her and started jumping up and down.
"Robin, Star's-" Cyborg clamped his hand onto Beast Boy's mouth. Robin looked up and saw Starfire. He was absolutely happy to see her there.
"Robin, please get up and try again." She simply requested. He didn't have to think fast about that, if Starfire wanted it, he'd do anything to get it, or do it just so that he can see that heavenly smile on her perfect face. Robin slowly looks up and his eyes met with the person he cared about most. He was still surprised that after their argument, she was still there, in front of him and encouraging him.
"I... didn't think you'd be here." Robin said, half thinking that she would be at home.
"Well, I am here now, am I not?" She innocently asked.
"Thanks..." He replied silently. Starfire gave him a puzzled look.
"For what, Robin?"
"For always being there for me, even if I was being a jerk." Robin said, still on the ground.
Starfire gave him a sweet smile and stood straight up, leaning against the wall. Robin turned to face Cyborg.
"All systems go?" Cyborg asked.
"Roger that." Robin replied. Beast Boy and Cyborg helped him up once again. Robin looked at his feet then at the white wall. And instead of seeing a blank, white wall, he saw what he needed. His motivation, his hope, his trust, his love, his best friend, Starfire.
When he was up, he started with his left foot. Within seconds, his left foot was a few inches off the ground and Starfire's smile grew wider. Robin brought his foot forward and brought it down, but almost fell on the way. He did it, he took a step. Starfire was jumping with joy and everyone was smiling. Starfire clapped as if she wanted and encore. Robin looked straight at Starfire and gave her his best smile.
'I'm gonna do it again.' Robin though. 'For Star.' Robin raised his right foot.
"Another round already?" Beast Boy asked.
"What can I say, I'm the Boy Wonder." Robin said in his cocky attitude.
"Alright dude." Beast Boy gave him a playful punch on the shoulder. Robin looked at Starfire again and she bit her lip to keep from screaming with joy. Robin took in a deep breath and pushed his right foot forward. He went a little too far, and Beast Boy fell forward.
"Woah!" Beast Boy fell with a thud, leaving Robin unbalanced. Robin immediately fell, but not to meet with the ground. Instead, he fell right into Starfire's arms. After falling, he slammed his palm against the wall behind Starfire. Starfire hugged him and he looked up.
"Robin, it is alright if you did not get that second step. What matters is that there is hope that you are able to walk again." Starfire said calmly to Robin.
"Yeah! In no time you'll be able to walk again Robbo!" Beast Boy yelled. He grabbed Raven's hands and began jumping around.
"Ya hear that Raye? Robin's gonna be walking again!" Beast Boy exclaimed, receiving only a groan from Raven. Beast Boy blushed after finding out that he was dancing with the most non-out going teammate and he immediately let go. Starfire gently placed Robin in his wheelchair, still holding his hand.
"I love you Starfire." Robin whispered. Starfire smiled and kissed Robin on the cheek.
"Aw, how sweet-" Cyborg started. Khavi elbowed him.
"Don't start it." Robin said.
"Well don't blame me. It's not my fault that you turned all mushy mushy." Cyborg blamed.
"It wasn't my fault either, so shut your big robotic mouth."
"Heh, sorry Rob." Cyborg walked through the doors, hand in hand with Khavi.
"Ready to go home?" Robin asked Starfire.
"Indeed." Starfire pushed Robin and thanked the doctor as she went through the doors. Beast Boy looked over at Raven.
"You know, we didn't get to finish our dance." He said, pathetically trying to flirt with Raven. She only stared at him with her 'Don't talk to me' look.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Raven said as she stepped outside, shaking the doctors hand. When Beast Boy got outside, Cyborg was already unlocking the T-Car's door.
"Alright everyone, hop in and we're going home." Cyborg announced as he escorted Khavi into the car like a gentleman. Robin took the passengers seat and Cyborg took the wheel while everyone sat behind them. Cyborg turned up the music so he could talk to Robin without everyone listening.
"You do know that Starfire was by your side this whole friggin' time right?" Cyborg asked.
"What?"
"When you were in that coma, she didn't leave you once. Well except for get food and use the can, but she was there 24/7."
"Seriously? I didn't know she cared that much." Robin said.
"Man, no don't say that. Of course she does. Don't you?"
"You don't really need to ask that, of course I do." Robin adjusted the air conditioner to face him.
"That's what I thought." Cyborg said as he fixed the air conditioner to face him. "Yeah..." Robin enquired as he raised an eyebrow at his driving friend before fixing the air conditioner. When the Titan's got home, Beast Boy and Cyborg wasted no time in preparing a celebration meal.
"Juicy cheeseburgers and hot dogs commin' up!"
"How about not that juicy cheese tofu burgers and tofu dogs?" Beast Boy asked his he did a leap from on and over Cyborg. Cyborg retaliated by simply pushing his tiny friend with his huge hand.
"No tofu this time dawg."
"THIS time? We NEVER had tofu!" Beast Boy complained
"Are you joking? We had it this morning!" Cyborg argued.
"And? You all just need to give my tofu some lovin'!" Raven flew ahead of them.
"How about we order pizza and stop all this meat and tofu nonsense?"
"Veggie Special!" "All Meat Experience!" Beast Boy and Cyborg yelled at the same time before glaring at each other.
"Forget I asked." Raven said in her monotone voice. By this time, everyone was already in the living room and on the couch.
"So what's for dinner?" Khavi asked.
"Some kind of pizza I guess." Robin answered just as Starfire took a seat next to him.
"Interesting... so, when do you think Boy Wonder is gonna be able to walk again?" Khavi questioned as she gave Robin a playful jab on the shoulder.
"With his ambition, I do not think it will take a long time." Starfire said as she gave Robin a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks. By the way Star, how much time did you spend with me during my coma anyway?" Robin asked.
"A lot, Robin. If I did not require eating or using the bathroom, I would've been there the whole time."
"Heh, talk about Over Time." Robin said, chuckling. (A/N: THE TITLE THE TITLE!) Starfire smiled as Robin slipped a hand over Starfire shoulder. And everything in that moment, was perfect. Well, unless you count Beast Boy and Cyborg running around arguing about the pizza.
+ ++ + A/N: The End. Well im sooo sorry if this isn't my greatest chapter. I don't know wether to be happy or sad! I love this story very much, but you know this won't be my last piece of writing. As you might have heard, VanillaSuga and I will be starting our very own TT story. I mean, I know you all loved her 'Ridiculously Romantic' story, which she recently finished. Well she waited for me to finish so we can start our story lol. Be sure to wait for our story, we'll be logged in as VadaRose. Read it ok? *Much Love – Seventy5ive
