Protection Star

Chapter 2

Harsh Training

Robin and Starfire were in the training room, training obviously. They took turns in the fighting; Starfire went first. There were levels and they went up to 12. Starfire convinced Robin to let her try level 12 with her charm. Robin knew that level 12 was too hard, but he let her try. There was a 10 second countdown. Then, it started.

(an-I'm not that great with fight scenes and this level 12 might not seem so hard) The first part contained 3 robots that looked like Slade's minions. All three of them shot at the same time at Starfire. Starfire flew up just in time for the shots to hit each other and bounce back to the robots. They were destroyed with their own shots.

The next part was a version of the Cinderblock/Overload/Plasmus like in Aftershock Pt. 2. Starfire's eyes and hands grew green and she threw a barrage of starbolts at the trilogy monster. It dodged the shots with ease, being level 12 and all. Starfire got mad and used her eye lasers at him and threw a never-ending barrage of starbolts. She finally stopped and the three-some almost fell back. Starfire flew up to 'it', thinking it was a good time to use her alien strength against him. She was about to kick it when the monster grabbed her leg and flung her against the wall. Robin got worried but he waited for her to get up, thinking that she was alright. After a couple of seconds, he realized that she was not getting up. He turned of the training machine and ran up to her.

"Star! Starfire! Can you hear me?" she didn't say a word. His eyes started to water behind his mask and a tear rolled down his cheek and fell on Starfire's nose. She groaned of pain. Her eyes slowly opened and she saw a blur of Robin.

"R-Robin?" she finally spoke.

"Starfire! What hurts?" Starfire moaned because of the sharp pain in her spine.

"My back, Robin." Robin picked her up and went to the common room where he saw Beast Boy and Cyborg playing video games. Raven, with nothing better to do, was watching Cyborg beat Beast Boy in some racing game.

"Raven! Can you help, Star?"

"Dude, what happened?" Beast Boy said as he saw Starfire.

"She was training on level 12 and-" Robin was cut-off by a certain half-robot.

"Wait, level 12!! That's too hard for Star! She's still on level 8! How can you let her do level 12!?" Cyborg yelled.

"I know, I know, but she insisted," Robin explained. He knew he shouldn't have let her try level 12. "So, Raven, can you help her?"

"Sure, but it's going to be a little hard to heal her back when you're holding her 'bridal style,'" Raven said in her monotone voice. Robin blushed and Cyborg and Beast Boy were cracking up. Robin put her on the couch and turned her over face down.

Raven placed her hand on Starfire's back and chanted, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"

"OW!" Starfire shrieked. Robin jumped up.

"Raven, are you hurting her?!" Everyone looked at Robin who they can tell had watery eyes under his mask.

"Calm down, Robin. Raven's helping her," Beast Boy said and smiled at Raven. Raven didn't notice.

"There," Raven started, "her back is a little better. But you might want to forget about fighting for a while; not that there's been much crime lately."

Starfire tried to sit up but fell back. "Ow," Star moaned softly.

"You might want to rest, Star," Raven said.

"Yeah, take it easy for a while," said Cyborg. Starfire nodded. She saw Robin with a tear on his face.

"What is bothering you, Robin?" The others decided to leave Starfire and Robin alone, so they went to their rooms.

"I was just really worried about you, Star," he said while he wiped a tear away. He gave Starfire a sweet kiss. Starfire gave him a reassuring smile. The smile that he loved that told him everything was going to be okay. He carefully picked her up and went to her room. He put her on her round pink bed.

"Goodnight, Star," He kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, Robin," and with that, she drifted off to sleep.

'She looks so beautiful when she sleeps' Robin thought. He smiled and went to his own room.

Somewhere in the shadows

"Master Blackfire, the girl is injured and cannot fight. Will this be a good time to attack?"

"No. Not now. We attack at dawn." She smirked and waited for the morning to come.

So? What did you think of chapter 2? Yes, I have to admit, it wasn't much of a chapter and it was kind of short. But do not fear ! I have more chapters in my notebook ! I will update as soon as I get a chance. I have lots of homework in 8th grade. Torture ! Well, until next time ! Please Review !

Love,

Mich aka Starfire
