Chapter 14 – Pink Tutus and Unicycles
"What's going on down there?" Cyborg asked, pacing. He was uncomfortable with the fact that Robin and Starfire were alone, let alone battling one half of their arch nemesis. "What if someone gets hurt? And if they do kick his ass, which is likely, how will Star manage with Robin? I don't like this, man." Raven rolled her eyes.
"Calm down, they're fine."
"How do you know? What's going on down there?" Raven debated whether to tell about their rediscovered love, but opted against it. Sure, it would shut Cyborg up, but it was their story to tell, not hers.
"Cyborg, give them time. Starfire's a big girl. She can handle herself."
"But...." Riana put a hand on Cyborg's arm to calm him down as Raven continued.
"There are things about Robin we don't know," Raven said, her gaze steady on Batman. He gave no sign of recognition on his emotionless face.
"Doesn't mean he couldn't apologize," Beast Boy interjected, and Cyborg nodded adamantly.
"Yeah, I mean, the guy was a total jerk!" Cyborg glanced at Batman and felt uncomfortable for a moment. "No offense." He turned back to Raven. "And he hasn't said a word since!"
"It's not like he's had much of a chance, Cy," Beast Boy pointed out. Cyborg turned on him.
"Just whose side are you on, anyway?" Beast Boy held up his hands.
"No sides, dude, I'm definitely not taking sides." The prospect of choosing between his best friend's view and his girlfriend's view was frightening on too many levels. He was saved as Riana suddenly pointed towards the slowly appearing head of ruby red hair.
The happiness she felt from Robin's love filled Starfire to the point that she was strong enough to fly both Robin and the unconscious Terran up to the awaiting Titans, Batman and Riana. As her feet touched the ground, she dropped Terran, glad to be rid of him, and wrapped her arms around Robin. He looked at her devotedly as Cyborg and Beast Boy's jaws dropped open.
"What the...." Cyborg was cut off by Riana slapping a hand over his mouth.
"Aww, how sweet," she said, smiling at the couple, then clutching Cyborg's arm. "Isn't that just so romantic?" Cyborg opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off both by a withering glare from Raven and the arrival of the "special" policemen. Cyborg immediately took control, pointing them towards the unconscious twins on either side of the ground.
During this, Starfire began to walk over to Batman.
"It is very nice to see you again," she said, and Batman looked from her to Robin, who just shrugged guiltily.
"She knows," he said. "Sorry, but I trust her. And I trust the rest of my team, too." Though Beast Boy and Cyborg hadn't been paying attention, both of them heard the words 'my team'.
"Wait, did I just hear you say something about your team?" Cyborg said, giving him a look. "What makes you think we'll take you back so easily?"
"Oh, I, uh...." Robin stammered, then hung his head. Starfire put her arms lovingly around his waist encouragingly. "I'm sorry I was such a jerk, guys. None of you deserved how I acted. I.... I'm just sorry." Cyborg laughed, and held out his hand.
"Welcome back, man," he said as Robin shook it. "If Starfire can forgive you, then so can we."
"Now, wait a second, it's still not that easy!" Beast Boy exclaimed gleefully. From underneath her cloak, Raven pulled out a pink tutu, unicycle, and other items used in Teen Titans initiation.
"No way...." Robin said, backing up.
"Yes way," Cyborg replied. "You made me do it when I went undercover at the HIVE. Now it's your turn. Consider it punishment."
"You guys are weird," Riana commented. "I am just totally confused. Pink tutus and unicycles....what am I getting myself into?" Cyborg smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Nothing you can't handle," he said, before taking off after an already running Robin. "Come back here you're not getting away that easily!" As Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy ran around in circles, Starfire giggled and turned back to Batman who gave her a half smile.
"So. You know my secret identity, and you've captured the elusive heart and mind of Robin. This is a serious situation here." Starfire's eyes widened.
"It is?"
"Yes. You, Robin and I will have to have a sit-down sometime soon. We have a lot to talk about."
"We do?" Batman nodded, but then smiled to reassure her that it was not as serious as he was making it sound.
Or was it?
This was one of those transitional chapters that is necessary but not lengthy. The next chapter will be the last chapter, I'm sorry to report. I know this fic definitely wasn't as good as the first, but most sequels aren't. But I already have a new story lined up called In Your Dreams, so look forward to that.
Sneak Peak: Meet the Parents, Teen Titans style.
