Chapter 2 - It's not my time to go

Immojen yawned. She stretched out her long, slender arms in front of her and sat up. She was wearing the pink pyjamas Robin had given her. She some how liked them. She checked the time;

"Holy shit!," Her eyes widened with surprise as the alarm clock read 10:30am. She jumped out of bed, checked her hair and face "Pretty as a picture," pouted her lips and walked out of the room. Her bare feet taped the floor gently and she entered the room she came ingo last night. There she saw the five infamous Teen Titans ... eating Cereal. Well, Raven and Robin wasn't. Come to think of it, they'd all stoped eating and starred at her. Robin shot up quickly and stood next to Immojen. Starfire glared.

"Err, guys this is Immojen and she'll be staying with us for a while,"

Still Starfire glared. Immojen noticed this and sweetly smiled back at Starfire. Beast Boy raised his hand and waved it in the air

"I found her ... or did she find me?"

"You got a thing about blondes haven't you BB?" Raven was obviously referring to Terra, another pretty blonde Beast Boy had taken a fancy too. Cyborg smiled and waved his metallic hand at her;

"Hi Immojen! Breakfast?" He jerked a thumb at some toast Starfire had just made (for herself). Starfire shot a look at Cyborg then back at Immojen, fiercely.

"No thanks Cyborg. I don't eat breakfast,"

Robin turned to her "Oh c'mon Imm, don't you want anything to eat?"

She placed her hand on his back. Starfire cringed and clutched her fists together, gritting her teeth when she saw this. "No, honestly Rob, I'm fine," She smiled and saw Starfire. She decided to pursue on Starfire's jealousy and spoke to her; "So Starfire-" She was cut off when Starfire pointed at the clothes she was wearing and her face growled which startled Robin and the others. Immojen expected it and lapped it up.

"ARE THEY MY PYJAMAS!!!!" Starfire stormed up to Immojen. Immojen faked her pretty, shocked expression and Robin fell for it. He stood in the way of Immojen, defending her, and the flaming Star and held Star by the shoulders. He looked straight into her emerald eyes.

"Hey Star! Calm down! I let her borrow them, she didn't take them! I forgot to tell you is all, chill huh?"

Starfire was hurt,"CHILL!!! How can I chill when she annoys me so greatly Robin!"

Robin let go of her and looked at her sceptically. "Fine." Now he was the one who looked hurt. He addressed the group "Today Titans, we are going shopping," he then returned his gaze to Starfire and said coldly "To get Immojen some new pyjamas," He then stormed off to his room. Immojen was stood there looking amazed and nervously laughed before rushing out of the room to chase after Robin.

"Ooooo shopping!" was all that could be heard from Beast Boy. Starfire shot him an evil glance.

Immojen raced to catch up with Robin. She finally did and placed a hand on his shoulder. He spun around, expecting it to be Starfire, when he saw it was Immojen, he looked fondly at her. "Hey!" She said, slightly breathless and smiling sweetly at him with relief. "That thing you did back there for me, you didn't have to you know,"

"I don't have to do anything Imm, I chose to do that."

"But why? I don't wan't to cause confrontation between you and your friends Robin,"

"Starfire started it. You've done nothing wrong," He smiled a sweet smile at her and put all his weight onto the right side of his body and looked bashful and shy "So ... err, you coming shopping with me then?"

"I don't know, I wan't too, don't get me wrong, but I think you friends wouldn't be too pleased if I came. But you go, I'll stay here," She showed an expression of un-want and self pity. Everything she expressed was overly dramatic. She wanted Robin wrapped around her little finger and then, eventually, Slade's. Then she would finally get what she was doing this for. Robin, naturally, fell for his sweet, lost little girl act and looked startled.

"No! No, you're are our guest, we shouldn't leave you here on your own. If you want, me and you can go,"

"Really?" Her eyebrows perked up and her green eyes glistened with excitement.

"Well ... yeah, I mean, you do need new pyjamas huh? After all you are staying with us huh?

She smiled. Half because it was part of her act, and partly because she'd been accepted by the leader and Slade's key goal. "Yeah. Sure. I'll get ready." With that she flicked her golden hair and turned on her heals and trotted off down the stairs. What Robin didn't see was Immojen sighing and rolling her eyes with relief.

Starfire was sat, with anger almost creating steam from her body, on the sofa. Raven was reading in her room and as usual, Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing on their computer games. Starfire looked immensely cross. Robin and Immojen had been shopping for about three hours now.

Just as Starfire was about to go to her room to cry with anger and disappointment, Immojen and Robin burst in through the room. They had lots of different carrier bags filled with items. She was wearing tight, blue jeans, silver earings and a baby pink and white flowing top. Over her pink top was a darker pink, sleeveless, body hugging sweater. Starfire hated to admit it but she looked good. She had style. She had a pair of pink shiney shades on top of her pretty little blonde head. Everything about Immojen was fresh, perfect, original. From her glossy, neatly applied clear lip gloss, to her manicured finger nails. She was the image every boy craved to have resting upon his shoulder. And right now, Robin was that lucky guy. He had also changed his clothing, personalised by her of course. He too was wearing jeans that made his legs look long and slim and a black polo, similar to the one Immojen was wearing yesterday. He looked amazing, Star thought. But the worst thing that Star hated them wearing, was both their wide smiles. They looked like the perfect couple. Even Beast Boy and Cyborg noticed it.

"Hi guys," Robin said, closing the door behind him softly. He was really happy, he was practically glowing. Immojen placed her hands together and looked even more petite and adorable. Even more perfect.

"Hi dude! Nice looks!"

"Thanks BB," Robin said walking to the fridge. He opened it and took out two cans of soda, one for himself and one for Immojen. He handed it to her softly and she smiled in appreciation. She then took two of the bags from the assortment she had brought in with her and walked toward Beast Boy and Cyborg.

"Here you guys go," She handed them the bags and they took them eagerly, Cyborg thanked her, and Beast Boy rummaged through his gift greedily.

"Wow! Thank you Imm!!!" Beast Boy's little green face lit up when he saw the present. As did Cyborg's when he too saw his present. They had just both received the two latest video games and they then fought which one they were going to play first. Immojen then handed another separate bag to Starfire. Starfire looked at her warily, as if the bag the perfect girl had given her was some kind if lethal weapon that could kill her as soon as she opened it. But it was just a small, neat pink bag.

"This is for you Starfire, to say sorry for this morning,"

Starfire opened it carefully and pulled out a small silver necklace. It had a butterfly in silver attached to it and it silver wings were embedded with stars. "Oh, Immojen it is truly beautiful. Thank you."

Immojen smiled and returned to Robin's side. Even though Starfire felt bad about being so awful earlier that day, she still despised her for being so attached to Robin.

Robin opened the window that led to the roof of their home and was surprised to see Immojen sitting there, staring into the distance. Her blonde hair floated with the breeze. Robin smiled to himself. He sat next to her gently, though not to startle her. She didn't move to see it was. She didn't need to.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Robin looked over to the water. The stars were reflecting against the shimmering water and it seemed as though they were dancing to the young teenager's heart beats. "Yeah, yeah it is,"

"I don't really get a chance to see things like this at home. My mum and dad are too busy to ever see anything like this. Beast Boy told me to take a look. I'm glad he did,"

Robin swallowed his saliva "Are your mum and dad ... close?" He remembered his own family as he questioned her, feeling his chest getting tighter by the second.

"Yes. No. My dad is a busy man, he owns his own company, and my mum's a fashion designer. When they get to see each other they are very close. But we are hardly ever together,"

"How come?"

"I'm in boarding school. I'm still in boarding school this very minute according to their knowledge. It can be difficult,"

"Do you miss them?" His chest hurt him now and his throat was dry. Immojen noticed his voice had become hoarse.

She looked at him closely then realised why he was questioning her about her family "Oh, God I'm sorry Robin, I'll shut up now. God I'm so stupid!" She gently patted her forehead with her right palm.

"Hey, no, no! No your not! I'm asking the questions, I want to know,"

"Why do you?"

"Huh?" He looked nervous.

"Want to know?"

Robin looked deep into her eyes. They moved slightly to the left and right with curiosity. He then became nervous and excited at the same time. "Because I want to know you,"

Immojen didn't mean too and she hated herself for doing it, but she felt her heart skip a beat and she felt butterflies dance in her stomach. She looked at him.

"What colour are your eyes Robin?"

He hesitated and stared deeply into her green ones. Feeling total trust and comfort, he slipped his black mask away from his face and clutched it with his right hand. Blue. They were a deep, mysterious blue. Immojen dared not sit there doing nothing any more. She couldn't. She pulled Robin closer too her and let him kiss her. She felt his warm, moist lips upon her and she hated herself for loving it. She couldn't let her emotions deceive her duty but she didn't want to let go or release that feeling she had in her heart for the boy wonder. When Robin finally released her, she felt sad, and happy at the same time. He smiled at her and casually walked away. She watched him walk slowly away from her. When he approached the roof door, he turned to her and smiled bashfully at her and he was once again gone.

She laughed to herself and ran her finger nails through her blonde hair "Wow,"

Then her belt started vibrating. Slade. "Damn it! Slade?" Her connecter had been alarmed and Slade had contacted her.

"Immojen. I'm becoming impatient. I want Robin soon," His voice was mellow and smooth, not a shred of emotion was being expressed.

"I'm working on it ok?"

"I want the bird tomorrow. Sunset. You know which warehouse. Then finally you may have your treasure,"
