'Sup. I just realized something. This is my THIRD story that's title begins with a U. What's up with that? Also, I'll let you know if the Titans are thinking. Usually people put thoughts in italics. Not in this chapter. Don't worry, you'll know when they're thinking and when they're not thinking. Well, anyway… ONWARD!

Unbeknownst to Them

The plot slowly unravels as Robin and Starfire discover they can't keep their mouths shut.

Rated PG.

Disclaimer: I own Life of the Party and Tanya (who doesn't even appear in this chapter :blinkblink:).

Unbeknownst to Them

Robin woke slowly, head throbbing. He opened one eye, winced, and shut out the blinding light. His mouth felt as if it had been filled with lead overnight – sticky and hot and thick. He groaned weakly, sitting up and slowly opening his eyes. Once he got over the brightness of the room, he fought back waves of nausea as the room spun and lurched.

"Oh, good," said Cyborg's voice, "you're up."

Robin nodded. "I don't feel so good…"

"What did that dude do to you, anyway?" Cyborg asked. "I mean, I checked you. You're not poisoned or anything."

I must speak the truth and nothing but the truth.

"I have no idea," Robin said flatly. "None at all. I know he hypnotized us, but that's about it."

"I see."

Silence.

"Well, I guess you'll just need to recover then," said Cyborg. "There's nothing to be worried about." He strode towards the door. "Oh!" he said, stopping and turning to face Robin. "Star's up, if you want to talk to her." And then he was gone.

Robin slowly rose to his feet, worried that his legs wouldn't support him. He trembled for a moment, but managed to stand. He walked slowly towards the door, listening. He heard Starfire's voice as she jabbered away to Raven.

He knocked.

Silence.

"Come in," said Starfire softly.

Robin let the door slide open and he stepped into the room. Starfire sat on the bed, staring at him through large green eyes. Raven sat cross-legged beside her, watching Robin expressionlessly.

"Uh… how are you, Star?"

"I am feeling rather sick, but I do not know what is wrong with me," Starfire said instantly. She looked down and pressed a hand to her stomach uncertainly.

"I told her she had a cold," said Raven. "She didn't believe me."

"Why not?" Robin directed his question towards Starfire, rather than Raven.

"Because I am quite warm," said Starfire. "I feel very hot, in fact. That is why I refuse to go back under those sheets."

Raven rolled her eyes. "It's called a fever. It comes with a cold. You need the bed. Now get in it."

Starfire gave a slightly hateful "hmph" and crawled under the covers.

"Can I be with Star alone?" Robin asked.

"Yeah sure." Raven smiled slightly and slipped out of the room.

Starfire waited a second to make sure Raven was gone before jumping right out of bed again. She grinned. "Much better."

Robin bit back a stupid grin. "You shouldn't disobey Raven like that," he told her, smirking despite himself.

She smiled. "Yes, well… What did you wish to talk to me about?"

Robin sat down beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist like he had to many times before. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

"I don't want to talk."

Author's Notes: OY! That was the shortest chapter I have EVER written! I'm sorry it took so long and it's so short, but like I said… school n' all… --;;

I suppose this doesn't really reveal much about the plot either, but it does point out a few important facts. I'm not going to say them, they'll be pointed out in the next chapter.

Now review.

Yes, YOU.
