want your reviews badly! I gotta know if I should put lots of detail for
your pleasure or if I'm ditching homework for nothing. Anyway, here are the
Reviews!
BunnyKat: I like Blackfire too, beside her being evil. Sending you the summary was fun actually and thanks for the compliments.
StarrMagic456: What do you think I should do with Cyborg? If I go with I have planned then someone will be introduced in about two chapters.
Brie: I WILL TRY!
EnchantedMiko: Ok, I hate when people talk in a way that you can't tell whether they're saying something's good or bad so don't make that face.
ROBINROX: Someone will save Star... eventually. I just love that pairing.
Yami Yuugi Lover AKA Kiyo: Starfire/ Robin coupling all the way! All Teen Titans fiction is weird, which's what makes it funny.

Thalian: Thanks, I'll try.
Memory Assassin: Thanks for the compliments and the only reason I shorten Beast Boy's name is cuz I'm lazy but I guess I could spell it out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Robin's Rival
It was quiet in space as always. It was a dark silent hallway with lasers for walls. Behind these lasers were prisoners locked up for crime.
A robot accompanied by two Tammaranian officers were walking down the hallways. Their steps heard everywhere.
They didn't stop to look at anyone, they just went all the way down, and behind a door that read in an alien language.
More steps were taken before they reached their destination. They stopped abruptly in front a cell and inside was an anxious teen waiting to be liberated.
"About time you got here. I can't wait to get out of this dump." The girl stood up and walked toward the hot bars.
"Blackfire of Tammaran, by order of young Master Deathfire, you have been liberated of all charges and is free to go." The officer replied.
"Great. Where's my ride?" Blackfire said as she stepped out of the cell of which the lasers had just been deactivated.
"Walk this way and accompany us to get some papers fixed." The robot led her down the hallway and Blackfire smirked.
They arrived in a room with just a single table in the middle. The robot opened a compartment in his arm and took out a small disc. He put the disc on the center of the table and up popped a hologram. It had the data of all their cases.
The robot searched the data by touching the files and it took him several minutes to find what he wanted.
"Hurry up. I don't have all day!" Blackfire snapped.
"Here it is. I have deleted your records and you are now free to do whatever you want, except break the law again." He informed the teen that had walked out the door.
"Miss Blackfire, we have orders to take you anywhere you wish except Tammaran and Earth." The officer showed her the ship.
"I should have known he would have guessed what my business was, oh well, guess I'll have to go to plan B." With those last words she took the two officers out with punches and flew toward the ship.
She quickly boarded the ship and took the controls. "Ok. Make a course for Earth."
~*~
Millions of miles away on our planet, five teens were chatting at their favorite food court.
"So what should we order this week?" Robin asked his friends.
"There's no need to ask Ro. We all know it's my turn to choose and I want the All Meat Experience!" Cyborg proudly stated.
"DUDE! Don't lie. It's my turn to pick and I want the Veggie Delight Special!" Beast Boy pushed Cyborg's hand down.
"You wish! I haven't had a taste of good real food in a week so just shut up and let me order my food!" Cyborg pushed Beast Boy off the table.
"Well, at least we'll actually order something for once." Raven muttered to herself as she shook her head.
"Now that Cyborg has chosen the main course, let's choose our beverages." Starfire signaled to a nearby waiter.
"Excuse me please! May you kindly take the order of our pizza and beverages?" Starfire cheerfully asked a nearby man.
"Of course miss. What would you like to order?" He walked over to them.
"We would like the All Meat Experience and five sodas." Robin ordered while giving him the menus.
"Sure right away sir." The waiter wrote the lot down and drifted away into the building.
"So after this what do you guys wanna do?" Robin asked the rest of his team.
"Got to go visit the hardware store and pick up some batteries for my built in phone." Cyborg showed them the pop up phone in his arm.
"OK. So anyone else want to do something later?" Robin asked the remaining Titans.
"I need to go to the annual reunion of video game freaks at the mall." Beast Boy said while jumping in his seat.
"And I suppose I have to go to the café in town. It's open mike and I fell like expressing myself." Raven concluded without changing expression.
"Um. I am free Robin." Starfire said quietly with her cheeks turning crimson.
"All right then. What do you want to do later?" Robin asked with him blushing violently.
"I do not know. Perhaps we could hang out at the tower?" Starfire timidly suggested with her arm resting on the back of her head.
"Ok then. Maybe we could watch a movie there?" Robin also suggested.
"That sounds delightful." Starfire smiled as a hot pizza was placed before them.
"OOOHH YEA! MY PRAYERS HAVE FINALLY BEEN ANSWERED! MY DREAMS HAVE UNDOUBTFULLY COME TRUE!" Cyborg was rubbing his metal hands together as he saw the pizza sitting in front of him.
"Take it easy before you spray us with your giant rainstorm of spit." Beast Boy cracked with him just moving away from the meat-filled pizza.
"Aww. Don't be a sore loser now. You know that this day had to come." Cyborg pinched Beast Boy's cheek and started to gobble up the pizza.
"Whatever." Beast Boy groaned as he and the other Titans enjoyed their day outside.
Soon Cyborg ate the last slice and they paid the check,
Each of the other Titans left for their destinations leaving Robin and Starfire alone on their walk for the tower.
"So you feel like just watching a movie?" Robin asked Starfire as they entered the tower.
"I suppose so, I mean if you would willingly accompany me?" Starfire asked as they entered the living room.
"So you get the DVD thing on and make some popcorn while I pick out a movie. Any movie in particular that you would like me to get?" Robin asked before leaving.
"No not really. I have heard many metaphors however referring to the movie "Titanic" though. Would you please select that one?" Starfire yelled from the kitchen.
"Oh ok. I'll be right back." Robin left to go search for that movie.
'Does she really not know about that movie or is something trying to set us up?' Robin wondered as he stepped into the library and picked out that movie.
'Oh well. If Star really wants to see that movie then I guess I can stand two hours of hugs and kisses.' Robin concluded his thoughts when he entered the living room again and saw Starfire staring at the microwave in the kitchen.
"Are you having trouble with the microwave again?" Robin asked with a smile as he slipped the DVD into the machine.
"No. I am certain I did everything right. I put the bag in, pressed the button with "Popcorn", and I have to wait the device to beep. Am I not correct?" Starfire wondered as she recalled her actions.
*BEEP*
"Ah! I did do it correctly!" Starfire took out the bag and took out a bowl.
"Well the movie's ready to go, are you?" Robin asked as Starfire walked in with a bowl filled with popcorn. She nodded with a smile.
She sat down and placed the bowl in between them. Robin pressed the button on the remote and the movie began.
The beginning of the movie went along fine. That is until they ran out of popcorn and neither felt like getting up and making more. The only thing that separated them on the couch was now gone.
Both of them were feeling nervous as the different scenes past by. Sometimes they would be tense, suspenseful, and some romantic.
'That's it! I just know someone set us up! How could Starfire possibly want to watch this movie with own curiosity? Someone must have tipped her off but whom? CYBORG!' Robin was sweating and was turning red as he thought this.
'I wonder why so many people refer to this movie in their use of metaphors and figures of speech? It's an interesting and touching movie but I just do not know why I am getting this tingling sensation in my stomach.' Starfire also pondered through her mind with a quizzical look on her face.
Finally the end was nearing and they had hit the ice burg in the movie. Starfire could be feeling fear, as she had never seen a ship crash into a piece of ice.
"Robin? Are they going to be undamaged in the end?" Starfire looked at Robin who popped back from his state of borement at her question.
"Um I don't know. I guess some of them do. I accidentally fell asleep the last time I saw this." He blushed at his last comment but Starfire just smiled and nodded.
The part in the movie where the one of the people with the lead roles dies by freezing makes Starfire cry silently. She without noticing starts to let her head rest on Robin's shoulder. He sees but keeps quiet.
Robin doesn't know whether to just shake her off out of nervous reaction or embrace her as he wishes to. He just puts his arm around her and puts his head on hers.
Starfire who just realizes what she has been doing also has the feeling to just hug Robin and dry her tears on his shirt but holds back and sits still.
After the last scene appears they just sit quietly and don't move. Starfire suddenly looks up to see Robin just about to doze off. She just pokes his arm to wake him back up. He sees their position and blushes wildly.
"Oh um. Sorry I dozed off a bit at the end but that was a great movie wasn't it?" Robin is now having a nervous breakdown in his mind.
"Yes. It enlightened my mind of many things and well I wish to tell you something Robin that I have keeping to myself for quite some time." Starfire sat back up straight and looked deeply into the white cloth on his mask and tried to muster up as much courage as she could.
"Yea Star?" Robin was sweating again. Just by staring at those bright green eyes he could tell what they were hiding. What he been too cowardly to do she was beginning to do now.
"Robin I..." Starfire started to lean toward him and Robin followed. They were only two inches away from each other and Starfire could now make out two dark shapes behind the cloth of what she figured were his eyes.
Now that she thought of it, what was the color of his eyes? She had never seen them since he would never take off his mask. While she thought this with her mind far away and yet her face short distance of his, he was thinking different.
He was thinking of how they had come this far and yet hesitating to show the feelings they had for each other that so many others were recognizing from so long ago. He wanted to come straight with his feelings and even though so many had said how they were perfect for each and there was no slight chance that she wouldn't love him back, he was afraid of that slight chance.
All these thoughts would have taken about a minute from an outsider's view and they would have noticed their faces drawing closer by the second.
They would have actually made contact had not the screen aside them that had been showing credits had turned into a bright red beeping alarm. They separated instantly and Robin answered the alarm. A very beat up Cyborg appeared on the screen.
"Guys! You won't believe it but Blackfire's back and is showing absolutely no mercy against us at the townsquare. Get your butts over here now!" With that last statement static took over and they lost the signal.
"Blackfire! Wasn't she arrested about 2 months ago?" Robin turned to Starfire who was shocked at the news.
"Yes. She was taken to the Galactic Prison and was sentenced to about 2 earth years of prison."
"Well it doesn't matter how she got out cuz we're just gonna have to put her back in. Come on!" He ran for the door and left. Starfire reluctantly followed.
~*~
Meanwhile at the townsquare there was chaos. Blackfire was firing at everything and was laughing at every blow she sent toward the three titans.
"Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos!" Raven chanted as she threw a car at Blackfire's back. She unfortunately for Raven turned around and blasted it back towards her. Raven barely dodged it.
Beast Boy took his turn by turning into a Pterodactyl and slashed at her. Even though Blackfire had spent some time in prison she was faster and stronger than before. Beast Boy didn't even scratch her.
"Oh come on kiddies. I haven't even broken into a sweat yet. Just tell my little sister to get out here to I can finish this now and stop wasting my time on you weaklings." Blackfire laughed haughtily and got hit by a green starbolt from behind.
"Hello good sister. What brings you back to earth?" Starfire was showing no sign of welcome on her face and was charging up.
"Ah! So you didn't chicken out. Well then, let's get this party started!" Blackfire charged at Starfire and slammed her into a nearby building.
Robin watched with fright as he waited for Starfire to come out of the rubble, which she did a minute later. She took flight and did combat with Blackfire in the air.
Robin ran over to his teammates who explained how they heard a crash on this street to find Blackfire firing at innocents and luckily no one was hurt.
Up in the air Blackfire was showing no restraints on the force she used on her sister.
She blasted Starfire into another building and blasted her crash site. When the smoke cleared, a green starbolt came racing at Blackfire and made a direct hit.
"Sister, no matter the anger and torment I am feeling, I do not wish to fight you in this matter." Starfire yelled to Blackfire who just smirked at her plea.
"What did you expect little sister? A chess tournament?" Blackfire again charged and rammed Starfire through the building's walls again.
The other Titans watched helplessly from the ground and avoided any falling concrete.
The other titans who were damaged couldn't do anything and Robin was afraid to fire one of his birdarangs in case he would hit Starfire.
They watched them exchange blows and kicks as well as blasts from each other's palms.
Starfire to all of a sudden gain the upper hand as she blasted Blackfire into a nearby steel building and too much smoke to appeared to see if she was to claim victory in this battle.
The other titans who had taken refuge under this building were also waiting anxiously to see if she was successful.
She wasn't, Blackfire's shadow was seen in the smoke and it seemed as if she had exploded in rage for part of the building was beginning to collapse with the titans right underneath them.
"Robin look out!" Beast Boy yelled as he ran away. Robin had started to run but the metal tip of his shoes got stuck in one of the cracks on the street and he fell on his face. He tried to get his foot out but couldn't.
Robin struggled to get his foot out and looked into his belt for some kind of tool. To his discouragement he found his laser had been dropped a few feet away and was out of reach. Just then for a minute he saw Deathfire run past him.
"Use this to contact the Centauri Police!" Deathfire just threw him a communicator and just flew into the sky towards Blackfire and Starfire.
"Wait! Come back! My foot is caught!" Robin just looked at him fly away in shock as he continued to tug on his shoe. He screamed as a large piece of concrete was going to fall on him.
"AZARATH! METREON! ZINTHOS!" Robin turned to Raven who was struggling to just keep it up.
Cyborg ran over to blast Robin's shoe out of the street and carried him away just before Raven could hold it up no longer and the concrete fell hard on the already ruined street.
Just behind them they felt somebody fall. It was an unconscious Blackfire that lay in the broken street in a crater.
Deathfire landed a moment after and walked over to them and took the communicator that has held limply in Robin's hand.
"Hello. Yes this is Deathfire of Tammaran. I want to report another attack Of Blackfire of Tammaran on planet Earth on sector 3.9 of this solar system. Please come immediately." Deathfire pressed a button and faced the Titans.
"Well my job here is done so please give the nice police of the Centauri Moons Blackfire quietly when they arrive." He was about to fly away when Robin pulled him back.
"Excuse me but, not that I don't appreciate what you did to Blackfire or anything, but I would like to talk to you for a minute if you don't mind.
"Oh not at all." Deathfire calmly accepted as if he knew this would happen.
Robin pulled him a few feet aside and put on a confused face. " What happened out there? My foot was stuck in a crack and you just past by me and went to go help Starfire who was doing very well and didn't need your help." Robin crossed his arms and turned to see Starfire land looking furious and walking over to her teammates.
"Look I'm sorry Robin. I just thought that the leader of the Titans could have taken care of himself and wouldn't need my help. After all by now you should know that my first priority is Starfire." Deathfire put on a smug face.
"You know what? I'm starting to think you're feeling something extra for Starfire I mean if you can't notice that I was two seconds from death and at the rate Starfire was going, she would have ended it in just minutes." Robin made a satisfied face.
"Now what in the world would make you think that?" Deathfire showed more sarcasm then was needed.
"Now listen here. It's not as if we don't like her in the same manner but can we at least just have a fair competition between each other?" Robin tried to try some negotiation in this matter.
"Very well. Sounds fair to me." Deathfire nodded and stuck his chin up high.
"We could just consider this a friendly competition then." Robin was obviously trying to hold back.
"Dirty rivalry" Deathfire snapped instantly.
"War." Robin also snapped back his reply and watched Deathfire fly off.
"Well what do you know. I got myself a rival." Robin quietly said to himself as he walked toward his friends.
"Star? Are you ok?" Robin asked Starfire would was panting and rubbing some of the bruises on her arms.
"Do not worry Robin. I am sure all my pain would have paid off if he had not interfered though I still think I will be fine." Starfire was mad again.
'I believe he is what they call on earth a 'Show-off". I just wish he would just stop playing the fake hero for once.' Starfire thought to herself.
Later that day the familiar robot police arrived to take the unconscious Blackfire back to jail. The sun was setting as they watched the space ship fly away.
Robin walked over to Cyborg and started to whisper in his ear.
"You were right. I do now have a rival that wants to take Starfire away." Robin looked at Cyborg who to his surprise was not smiling.
"Well you better hope he doesn't make HIS move before that festival you wanted to go to. That is the place you wanna make your move right?" Now Cyborg started to smirk.
"Yea but I just hope this doesn't get too violent." Robin smiled.
"Robin, when you're fighting for love then you can never be sure you gonna get rough. You just gotta show that you're the worthy one that's all." Cyborg commented to his friend.
"Yea, I guess you're right. And yet before I forget to ask you this. Did you have anything to do with Starfire wanting me to sit through two hours of that movie "Titanic"?" Robin asked Cyborg suspiciously.
"No. I didn't have ANYTHING to do with it just EVERYTHING." Cyborg waited to see Robin choke him but he didn't.
"Well thanks." Robin just smiled and thought for a minute.
'I don't know why. I don't know how. And yet instead of wanting to kill Cyborg of making me look like a coward, I want to thank him for bringing Starfire and me together this afternoon. I guess with all your loves in life, there must be a rival to show you your love's true value and show you what you're fighting for. I thank both Cyborg and Deathfire for giving me these thoughts tonight. I just hope I don't regret those thanks.'

"Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos!" Raven chanted as she threw a car at Blackfire's back. She unfortunately for Raven turned around and blasted it back towards her. Raven barely dodged it.
Beast Boy took his turn by turning into a Pterodactyl and slashed at her. Even though Blackfire had spent some time in prison she was faster and stronger than before. Beast Boy didn't even scratch her.
"Oh come on kiddies. I haven't even broken into a sweat yet. Just tell my little sister to get out here to I can finish this now and stop wasting my time on you weaklings." Blackfire laughed haughtily and got hit by a green starbolt from behind.
"Hello good sister. What brings you back to earth?" Starfire was showing no sign of welcome on her face and was charging up.
"Ah! So you didn't chicken out. Well then, let's get this party started!" Blackfire charged at Starfire and slammed her into a nearby building.
Robin watched with fright as he waited for Starfire to come out of the rubble, which she did a minute later. She took flight and did combat with Blackfire in the air.
Robin ran over to his teammates who explained how they heard a crash on this street to find Blackfire firing at innocents and luckily no one was hurt.
Up in the air Blackfire was showing no restraints on the force she used on her sister.
She blasted Starfire into another building and blasted her crash site. When the smoke cleared, a green starbolt came racing at Blackfire and made a direct hit.
"Sister, no matter the anger and torment I am feeling, I do not wish to fight you in this matter." Starfire yelled to Blackfire who just smirked at her plea.
"What did you expect little sister? A chess tournament?" Blackfire again charged and rammed Starfire through the building's walls again.
The other Titans watched helplessly from the ground and avoided any falling concrete.
The other titans who were damaged couldn't do anything and Robin was afraid to fire one of his birdarangs in case he would hit Starfire.
They watched them exchange blows and kicks as well as blasts from each other's palms.
Starfire to all of a sudden gain the upper hand as she blasted Blackfire into a nearby steel building and too much smoke to appeared to see if she was to claim victory in this battle.
The other titans who had taken refuge under this building were also waiting anxiously to see if she was successful.
She wasn't, Blackfire's shadow was seen in the smoke and it seemed as if she had exploded in rage for part of the building was beginning to collapse with the titans right underneath them.
"Robin look out!" Beast Boy yelled as he ran away. Robin had started to run but the metal tip of his shoes got stuck in one of the cracks on the street and he fell on his face. He tried to get his foot out but couldn't.
Robin struggled to get his foot out and looked into his belt for some kind of tool. To his discouragement he found his laser had been dropped a few feet away and was out of reach. Just then for a minute he saw Deathfire run past him.
"Use this to contact the Centauri Police!" Deathfire just threw him a communicator and just flew into the sky towards Blackfire and Starfire.
"Wait! Come back! My foot is caught!" Robin just looked at him fly away in shock as he continued to tug on his shoe. He screamed as a large piece of concrete was going to fall on him.
"AZARATH! METREON! ZINTHOS!" Robin turned to Raven who was struggling to just keep it up.
Cyborg ran over to blast Robin's shoe out of the street and carried him away just before Raven could hold it up no longer and the concrete fell hard on the already ruined street.
Just behind them they felt somebody fall. It was an unconscious Blackfire that lay in the broken street in a crater.
Deathfire landed a moment after and walked over to them and took the communicator that has held limply in Robin's hand.
"Hello. Yes this is Deathfire of Tammaran. I want to report another attack Of Blackfire of Tammaran on planet Earth on sector 3.9 of this solar system. Please come immediately." Deathfire pressed a button and faced the Titans.
"Well my job here is done so please give the nice police of the Centauri Moons Blackfire quietly when they arrive." He was about to fly away when Robin pulled him back.
"Excuse me but, not that I don't appreciate what you did to Blackfire or anything, but I would like to talk to you for a minute if you don't mind.
"Oh not at all." Deathfire calmly accepted as if he knew this would happen.
Robin pulled him a few feet aside and put on a confused face. " What happened out there? My foot was stuck in a crack and you just past by me and went to go help Starfire who was doing very well and didn't need your help." Robin crossed his arms and turned to see Starfire land looking furious and walking over to her teammates.
"Look I'm sorry Robin. I just thought that the leader of the Titans could have taken care of himself and wouldn't need my help. After all by now you should know that my first priority is Starfire." Deathfire put on a smug face.
"You know what? I'm starting to think you're feeling something extra for Starfire I mean if you can't notice that I was two seconds from death and at the rate Starfire was going, she would have ended it in just minutes." Robin made a satisfied face.
"Now what in the world would make you think that?" Deathfire showed more sarcasm then was needed.
"Now listen here. It's not as if we don't like her in the same manner but can we at least just have a fair competition between each other?" Robin tried to try some negotiation in this matter.
"Very well. Sounds fair to me." Deathfire nodded and stuck his chin up high.
"We could just consider this a friendly competition then." Robin was obviously trying to hold back.
"Dirty rivalry" Deathfire snapped instantly.
"War." Robin also snapped back his reply and watched Deathfire fly off.
"Well what do you know. I got myself a rival." Robin quietly said to himself as he walked toward his friends.
"Star? Are you ok?" Robin asked Starfire would was panting and rubbing some of the bruises on her arms.
"Do not worry Robin. I am sure all my pain would have paid off if he had not interfered though I still think I will be fine." Starfire was mad again.
'I believe he is what they call on earth a 'Show-off". I just wish he would just stop playing the fake hero for once.' Starfire thought to herself.
Later that day the familiar robot police arrived to take the unconscious Blackfire back to jail. The sun was setting as they watched the space ship fly away.
Robin walked over to Cyborg and started to whisper in his ear.
"You were right. I do now have a rival that wants to take Starfire away." Robin looked at Cyborg who to his surprise was not smiling.
"Well you better hope he doesn't make HIS move before that festival you wanted to go to. That is the place you wanna make your move right?" Now Cyborg started to smirk.
"Yea but I just hope this doesn't get too violent." Robin smiled.
"Robin, when you're fighting for love then you can never be sure you gonna get rough. You just gotta show that you're the worthy one that's all." Cyborg commented to his friend.
"Yea, I guess you're right. And yet before I forget to ask you this. Did you have anything to do with Starfire wanting me to sit through two hours of that movie "Titanic"?" Robin asked Cyborg suspiciously.
"No. I didn't have ANYTHING to do with it just EVERYTHING." Cyborg waited to see Robin choke him but he didn't.
"Well thanks." Robin just smiled and thought for a minute.
'I don't know why. I don't know how. And yet instead of wanting to kill Cyborg of making me look like a coward, I want to thank him for bringing Starfire and me together this afternoon. I guess with all your loves in life, there must be a rival to show you your love's true value and show you what you're fighting for. I thank both Cyborg and Deathfire for giving me these thoughts tonight. I just hope I don't regret those thanks.'
