This chapter is making plans for getting Starfire back, mainly. Robin acts way loving and determined (the general boyfriendy image), and Star is all pathetic and helpless. Not that I think Star is a wimp or anything – she is my favorite character, you guys, I promise I'm not lying – but for now I think Robin should play the hero guy and Star should play the damsel-in-distress. Only right now, though, I promise!
There is also some jealousy going on in this chapter. You know, the usual Robin-hating-Philip-because-of-Star. I think every one of you readers (and hopefully reviewers) hate him. So please feel free to review this chapter with evil disses for him. I'll read them out loud when I receive them. It'll be easy; he's locked up in my basement right now.
Disclaimer: IDOTT. I don't know the name of the dude who does, but since he's all about superheroes, he's probably very strong. I don't want to steal a company from a strong tough guy who owns a superhero show. Yeah, I'm not exactly a super-strong build…
Dedication: To my friend Sally Sue. Her name isn't really Sally Sue, but since I don't want any stalkers who know my friends' names, I'll call her that. Anyway, she solved me and Lana's problems, and we're friends again! I'm so sorry that I mentioned Lana on the Internet, that was mean, but whatever. She's not into writing, anyway.
Chapter Twelve: Making Plans
The Tower:
"I do know this place," Raven choked, still astonished that she could remember something like this. "I know this place from a long time ago…"
"Well?" Robin demanded urgently.
"I can't place it, exactly," Raven admitted calmly. "I remember it perfectly, but I don't remember where it was or who it was associated with. But I do know it from somewhere." She mentally showed the mansion to the three others.
Robin nodded once the mental tour was over. "I remember this, too. Still, I can't place it either. It must be from a long time ago."
Cyborg said excitedly, "Are you two completely nuts? That's Batman's old place! My first mission was back with you two and Batman. It was close before the actual Titans were formed. Beastboy and Starfire hadn't even joined yet. It was one of the few battles before Batman suggested Robin shouldn't be an apprentice anymore, but a full-fledged leader…" Cyborg sighed, trailing off. Batman didn't know he would find love back then.
(A/N: I guess I should clear up a few things. ONE: I am adding a disclaimer: I don't own Batman. TWO: I never read the comics or watch the TV show, and I've only seen two or three movies, so don't expect my Batman stuff to be accurate. THREE: The Robin-Raven-Cyborg-Beastboy-Starfire order is pretty fake, I'm not sure what order they're really in.)
Robin gasped. "Of course! Batman's hideout! That means if we contact Batman, we'll get a lead on where Starfire is for sure! Well, we probably will, unless one of you still remembers the address…"
After they shook their heads, Beastboy asked timidly, "So you mean I'm going to meet the real Batman?"
"Well, maybe not," Robin said. "For now I'm just calling him. I don't want him to think my superhero thing is too hard for me and I need help, or anything. Still, you might meet him…" he walked into the attic, shuffled through some papers, and came back down with a phone and a number in his hands.
"Batman?" he asked nervously into the phone. "Um, yeah, it's Robin. I was wondering if I could ask you a question."
"I haven't spoken with you in a while," Batman said in surprise, almost seeming out of breath. "How can I help you?"
"Could you tell me how to get to your old mansion?"
There was a pause, and then he nodded and gave him directions. "So," he said when that was over. "The last time I spoke to you, you were just moving into the Tower and the redhead was joining the team. How is she?"
"Fine," Robin lied, hoping not to let on their miserable state. "Thanks for your help, Batman, but I sort of have to go."
"Not a problem," Batman replied politely. (A/N: Is Batman polite? I don't know…) They exchanged farewells and hung up.
Before he told them where the mansion was, Robin took Beastboy's earlier advice and called Philip. He smirked when Philip picked up.
"I know where you are," Robin bragged.
Philip's eyes turned hollow. "No, you don't."
"You are in Gotham City, the mansion a few streets down from Wayne Enterprises (A/N: I got all that right, didn't I?). And don't bother leaving now – we've got you on our monitors." This last part wasn't completely true, but he knew some bluffing was important.
"You may have figured out where I am," Philip replied angrily, "but I assure you that once you get here, you won't be able to come in. The Rough Coyote made sure of that." With that, he hung up the phone.
The Mansion:
"They know where we are currently staying?" Starfire asked hopefully, having heard bits and pieces of his conversation.
"I think so," he answered glumly.
"Glorious!" she rejoiced happily. Then, seeing his angry face, she paused then asked, "Is it not glorious?"
"NO!" he shouted. Then he turned pale as he realized his mistake.
Me:
I am sorry to say that the story might be over pretty soon… well, not that soon, but probably no more than five chapters left… maybe even three…
But I'm going to write a sequel, I promise! So love me and review me, sweeties!
Anyway, it's a half cliffie I guess, but still, you can't wait for the next chapter, can you? How is five reviews? Five or six reviews for chapter thirteen! I already have a fun idea for chapters thirteen and fourteen. Thirteen is "Don't Get Mad" and fourteen is "Get Revenge." My sister meangenius helped me think of it, like a few other things. Like I said, she's a really good writer, even though without my romance…
Well, whatever. She's got the writing skills down, I've got the fluff skills down. Moving on. Here are my review replies:
D-I-WaRrIa: Yeah, I know I update fast, I've been kind of addicted to this site since I got an account. But anyways, I love that story (and it was 4 reviews), it's really awesome. Thanks for reviewing mine, I was way excited when I saw your name on my reviewers list!
Meangenius: How can anyone forget IDOTT? Only an idiot can forget IDOTT! Anyway, I like cliffies, so there. Thanks for saying it's cool!
Blonde shadowcat: Yeah, go ahead and diss him again! I'll read your diss out loud! Also, I know the Philip thing seems that way, but there is a shape changer, you know. And it is sort of Slade. But I'm not going to give anything away. Yes, I love drama! Thanks for reviewing!
Solodancer789: Yes, long live crazy person! Anyway, the flowers smell beautimus… in my bedazzled mind… anyway, I love updating quickly. It's so much fun!
Warprince2000: Thanks!
Pookey: Sweet pin name! Anyway, thanks, they are cool pairings. I was thinking about a Cyborg Raven, but then it didn't click, so I changed it. And now it's my ultimate favorite! Thanks for reviewing!
Thanks, sweeties, you're the best! Five or six reviews for "Don't Get Mad" (it seems lame but it works with "Get Revenge")! Review now! Little blue button! Here's a quote for next time (I take note of this in my notebook with my new pink feathery goofy bird pen it's so cool):
"But Phlip… I thought you were my friend!" Starfire exclaimed, touching her bleeding cheek.
Sound interesting? Anyway, I think the next chapter's going to be really cool, so please read it, you will be glad you did!
Luv ya,
Kweenie
