A New Protector
Chapter 12

Last Time: Soon Robin was on a stretcher on his way to the hospital. Starfire was by his side the whole time, seeing as how she refused to leave him.

Robin soon arrived at the hospital and was given a room. They kicked Starfire out so they could examine him. Starfire sat in the waiting room crying as Wren, Dove, and Dunlin all ran in. "Starfire! What happened," asked Dove frantically. "I don't want to talk about it," cried Starfire. Wren sat down next to Starfire and rubbed her back in a comforting way. "Star, where is Robin," asked Dunlin very curious. "In a hospital room. My dad stabbed him," choked out Starfire. "You mean to tell me, my little boy is in one of those rooms all alone," asked Dove with tears appearing in her eyes. "Well, the doctors are in there with him," came a voice. Starfire's head shot up, as did her body. "Terra is he okay. What's wrong with him," asked Starfire all to fast. "Chill, he is fine. Right now the doctors are stitching him up and then he'll be as good as new," said Terra.

"Not so fast Terra. He will not be "good as new". He is seriously hurt. Right now he is in a coma. You can go and visit him," explained Cole. "Cole, I thought you were a nurse," said Dunlin. "I was, until I was rehired here. After they found out Terra was really bad at this job they rehired me," explained Cole. Starfire jumped up and jolted to Robin's room. She opened the door slowly and walked in. She sat down on the chair next to his bed and held his hand. "Starfire, will you be okay," asked Wren entering. "I will, I just want Robin to be okay," cried Starfire squeezing Robin's hand.

Dove ran into the room and ran up to her son. "My poor son. Oh how I wish I could trade places with you," cried Dove. Dunlin shook his head. "Mom, he is there because he saved Starfire, would you have done that," asked Dunlin. "Of coarse I would. I would do that to save any of my children," said Dove. Starfire smiled at the fact that she was considered one of Dove's children. A couple of hours passed and they had to leave. Starfire didn't want to go and so she grabbed the wall in order to make her stay in the room. "Miss, please let go. Visiting hours are over. You have to leave," said a nurse. "NO! I am not leaving Robin alone here," cried Starfire.

"Let her stay. This is her boyfriend," said Cole walking up to the nurse who was pulling Starfire. "Besides, that's not the way to get her to let go. You have to tickle her," said Cole. "No, she must obey the rules and leave when everybody else does," explained the nurse. "Please let me stay. I can not leave the one I love's side," cried Starfire. The nurse continued to pull on the girl. "STARFIRE," came two voices. Starfire looked up and saw Raven and Billy running. "Starfire, we came as soon as we heard," came Billy out of breath. "Starfire, where is Robin," asked Raven also out of breath. "He is in the room. He was the victim of my father," choked out Starfire. The nurse soon gave up and set the girl down. Her two friends hugged her. "My brother told me you came over, why didn't you call my cell phone," asked Raven. "I didn't want to ruin your guys date," answered Starfire.

"DATE? Yeah right. You think I would actually go out with this loser," asked Raven with a blush. "Yeah, do you think she would go out with this loser? HEY! I'm not a loser," cried Billy. Raven shook her head. "Your family just left, they told us to tell you to either 1 stay the night at my house, 2 stay the night here, or 3 walk home," said Raven. "I wish to stay next to Robin's side. What if he wakes up? I want to be there right next to him," cried Starfire. "Miss, you may not stay the night," said a nurse. "Come on Connie, let the girl slide this is her boyfriend we're talking about. I mean yeah she would have to follow the rules if it was her mom or brother, but this is her boyfriend," said Terra walking up behind Connie. "Terra, be reasonable. She isn't related to him," said Connie.

"She is related to him. When Robin found out what Todd was doing he took her in. They might not be blood, but they are related," explained Cole. "Fine, but only this once will I bend the rules," said Connie walking away. Terra high-fived Cole and then walked off. "Thank you Cole," said Starfire walking into Robin's room again. Raven and Billy followed. "Twinkle, we need to get home," said Billy. "Good bye friends, thanks for coming," cried Starfire. Raven and Billy walked up to Starfire and hugged her. "It will be alright. Everything will be fine," whispered Raven. "Thank you. But I don't want you guys to get in trouble so I will see you tomorrow," said Starfire. They both nodded and walked out. Starfire pulled a chair up to Robin's bedside and sat down in it. She gently picked up his hand and put it in hers (you know, she's holding his hand).

"Robin, why did you have to be the one stabbed? Why couldn't it have been me like it should have been," cried Starfire. "Cause people do crazy things when they're in love," came a weak voice. Starfire's head shot up and looked at Robin who was smiling weakly. Tears appeared in Starfire's eyes as she smiled at him. Robin gently squeezed Starfire's hand. "Robin, I don't know what to say except thank you," cried Starfire. "You don't have to, I did it because I didn't want to see you in this hospital bed like I am now," said Robin weakly. "Oh Robin! That was so noble of you, but I have to say it was quite crazy as well," said Starfire with a small giggle. "Well, crazy people do crazy things when they're in love. And I'm in love with you Starfire. I just couldn't bear to see you like this," explained Robin. Starfire again had tears in her eyes. "I love you to Robin. You mean the world to me. Just promise you'll never do another crazy stunt like that to save me," said Starfire. "Can't promise you that. I am as my mom would say, reckless," said Robin with a faint laugh. "Excuse me, but I heard voices in here," said Terra walking in. Starfire jumped at the sudden noise.

"Well Robin, welcome back to the real world," said Terra with a laugh. "Yeah, thanks," said Robin looking annoyed by her interruption. Starfire giggled a little. "Well Star, let Robin get some rest. After all, he did save your life," said Terra. Starfire nodded and she left. "Well goodnight," said Starfire kissing Robin lightly on the lips. "I love you," he stated. "Love you to," she kissed him once more and he nodded off to sleep, as did Starfire.

The End

A/N: Yes this is the last chapter and I know it was a little corny, but I had to end it. I have some good news. I am making a sequel. I got the idea while instant messaging my friend. I will say this, this story will be longer than 12 chapters, and after all it has a good plot. Here's the Summary:

Summary: Starfire and Robin soon graduate high school and are on their way to college. (They of coarse go to the same college). When they arrive they meet a person who is practically Starfire's double, Starla. Well, Starla develops a crush on Robin and plans on getting him. She digs up some dirt on Starfire, and guess what, Todd's back.

Well, that is all I can tell you without giving you the plot. My friend told me when I told her that it sounded good. With Todd back and Starla on the prowl, what could go wrong? Please read this one. This one will also be dramatic. R&R, and tell me what you think about the summary.
