-This is Chapter 11 of "Dangerous Love Affair!" And yes, I am writing this at the same time as "Silent Titan", "Two Birds…Part 2", and a fourth story that I am collaborating with another author (more on this later). Reason I'm doing this is simple. Time. Being in college and the work that goes with it, it is a wonder that I have so much time to do, well, this. So, whatever little time I have, I'm going to take full advantage of it.
-Now, better sex story between Blackfire and Robin? Well, okay, so I'm not that great when it comes to lemons (or lime in the case). Just that, I have VERY little desire to, uh hem, improve that either. I never had any experience writing lemon before, and I don't intend to start now. The closest was that lime. That's it.
-Now, on to the story…
Titan TowerIt's been a week since the incident on the Anterian Ship. The fear that an armada of Anterians would come to Earth and decimate it due to the death of the King, well, Prince Shalton, never came to pass. In fact, his death actually brought the exact opposite effect then the one Shalton predicted. The fighting by the Anterians all stopped with the death of Shalton. King Taro, in his dying words, had all his troops lay down their arms in compliance to the treaty. After King Taro's death, the thrown was passed on to his second son, Prince Atradies. Atradies, unlike his brother, was much more of a pacifist. He didn't like the idea of war or conquest that has been so synonymous with Anterian. Of course, being the second youngest of the three brothers, no one expected him to be the king. Especially the idea that he would continue the policy brought forth by his father, peace.
As for the Titans though, things couldn't be worse. Robin is starting to distance himself from the other Titans. His teammates all suspected Blackfire was the cause. Yet for now, only Speedy was the one who knew for sure. Speaking of Speedy, while he originally planned to return to his home city and fight along side his mentor, the Green Arrow, he decided to stay after the recent incident with the Anterians. He had a sneaking suspicion that, his services were still needed here.
Speedy looked for Robin, who seemed to now always be locked inside his room. "He has to tell them soon. It is bad enough that they don't know now. If they find out any other way…"
"Tell them what?" Raven looked at Speedy with suspicion.
Speedy jumped, as he didn't know that Raven was directly behind him. "Huh? Oh, umm…well…"
"Spill it!" Raven narrowed her eyes at Speedy. "What are Robin and Blackfire hiding?"
Speedy rubbed the back of his head. "Ummm…nothing, nothing at all! Hehehe."
"Liar!" Raven's anger started to rise. "They are hiding something. It is tearing this team apart. What is it that they are hiding? Are they working each other? Did Robin turn on us? Is Blackfire blackmailing Robin with something? Are they lovers? What?"
'Well, one of your answers is right.' Speedy's expression suddenly turned serious. "It would be better if Robin told you. That's all I'm going to say."
'So, they ARE hiding something.' Raven narrowed her eyes. "Why can't you tell me? If I have to, I could find out by my own." Raven started to close the gap between to the two.
Speedy stepped back to make sure Raven didn't touch him. He was well aware of her psychic powers. "Again, I said it would be better if Robin or Blackfire told you. Preferably Robin. It is something that they must do on their own."
Raven stopped her advance. 'He's right. Whatever they are hiding, it is better if they said it.' "Fine, I'll try to get through to Robin." 'I just hope the Teen Titans can survive after this.'
Robin's RoomBlackfire yawned. She got out of Robin's bed, and got dressed. Most of her wounds that were inflicted on her during her detainment were healed. She made circles with her arm to see if she can do so. She did a few stretches with her arms and sighed. "Feels good as new. And certainly felt great like last night Robin." Blackfire seductively smirked before frowning when she received no answer from Robin. "Robin? Hello? Anyone home?"
Robin looked out the window in his room. "What have I done?"
Blackfire tapped him on the shoulder. "Are you still thinking about that day? Look, Prince Shalton was obviously not as important as he believed he was. His people had no love for him, and the universe is now a better place without him."
Robin hung his head. "I know. It was just, I…" Robin frowned in regret. "I killed someone."
"Hah." Blackfire smirked. "Look, I know all those high and mighty Justice Leaguers yelled at you for causing an intergalactic incident. But I bet secretly, they are all thankful for what you did." Blackfire brought Robin's face closer to hers. "And given what turned out in Anteria, I believe privately even the Anterians were glad that that psycho Prince Shalton is now dead." She brought her lips closer to his.
Robin and Blackfire kissed for a while. Then they let go. "I guess you are right. But still..."
"Don't worry my love. Everything will work out in the end." A dark smile appears on Blackfire's face. "Trust me."
Robin smiled. "I hope you're right."
Cyborg was standing outside Robin's room. His curiosity got the better of him, and so, he listened to the conversation between Robin and Blackfire. He didn't get all of it, but what he did get, bothered him. "Robin and Blackfire working together? It can't be. He would never do that!" 'But, Robin never killed before either.' Although he knew that Robin had a dark side, especially when they were fighting Slade, he never actually though that he would embrace it. 'He couldn't. I know he couldn't without some other reason.' Cyborg narrowed his eyes. 'It must be Blackfire. Whatever she had against him, one thing is for certain. He needs to get away from her!'
Starfire's Room"How could he do that horrible thing?" Starfire paced back and forth. "Robin would've never done that. He would've not put this planet in danger!" 'But he did.' Tears started to run down Starfire's cheeks. "What could've made Robin turn…turn…evil." That's when her thoughts turned to her sister. "Sister. Sister! It was you that made him turn evil! She must not be allowed to stay with us any longer!"
Beast Boy's RoomBeast Boy was still going over the events that occurred in the past week. "Robin killed someone. Robin killed someone. It was all to protect Starfire. That's why he killed him…right?" Beast Boy paused in this line of thinking. "But Starfire was already with us when he attacked Shalton." Realization hit Beast Boy. "Blackfire. He wanted to protect Blackfire. But…why?" Beast Boy sat down on his bed. "It must be Blackfire. That's the only explanation for it!"
-Later that night…
Main RoomBlackfire, Starfire, Raven, Robin, Speedy, Cyborg, and Beast Boy were all sitting at the dining tables in the main room. Everyone was dead quiet. They all ate in the stillness of the moment.
Finally, Blackfire spoke up. "More crap? Who cooked this stuff?"
Cyborg crushed his fork. "I did." He got into Blackfire's face. "Got a problem with that? Maybe you should leave."
Raven narrowed her eyes and stared at Blackfire. "Cyborg's right Blackfire! No one invited you here."
Blackfire smirked. "I helped save my precious sister from the Anterians. And this is how you repay me?"
Raven grittered her teeth. She rose from her seat and got into Blackfire's face. "If it wasn't for you, Starfire wouldn't have been in danger!"
Blackfire's eyes glowed purple. A dark smile graced her face. "Want to take this outside Raven?"
Raven's eyes glowed. Her power started jumping around her. "Go ahead and try!"
Robin slammed his fist on the table. "Can this wait till after dinner! We can talk about this later!"
Raven sat down to her seat. "Fine. We will discuss this later." 'Oh, we will discuss this later. You can bet on that.'
After that incident, silence once again consumed the room.
-Later…
Main RoomCyborg, Speedy, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven all stood around the main room.
"Speedy knows what's going on." Raven folded her arms.
Everyone all looked at Speedy.
Speedy nodded. "Yes, I admit, I know what's going on. But I had hoped that Robin would've told you by now." He frowned. "That obviously hasn't been the case."
Cyborg nodded. "Ever since Blackfire came back, Robin…changed."
Beast Boy agreed with Cyborg. "Its as if, he went from cool to…some uncaring guy."
Starfire frowned even more. "I have not seen him like this before."
Raven agreed. "The closest that I have ever seen Robin in this state was during his dealings with Slade." Raven paused before continuing. "But even then, he didn't go this far."
Cyborg returned his attention to Speedy. "Which brings it back to you. You know what's going on. Mind telling us about it?"
Speedy looked at Cyborg. He shook his head. "It isn't that I don't want to tell you. Its that, given what I know, I believe it would be better if Robin and Blackfire told you."
Cyborg narrowed his eyes at Speedy. "Okay. We need to talk to Robin."
"But first…" Beast Boy scowled. "We need to get rid of Blackfire."
"Um…" Speedy was about to say something before he was interrupted.
"I agree!" Starfire yelled. "She has been nothing but trouble! And she is definitely the one corrupting Robin!"
All the Titans left the room, leaving Speedy with his thoughts. "I have to talk to Robin before it gets really bad."
Blackfire looked at the room. She's seen and heard everything. Blackfire chuckled to herself. "So, they all want our secret. Oh, you'll get to find out all right. And when you do, this little group will fall apart, and I will have my revenge sister!"
Training RoomRobin kicked and punched a dummy. "Gaaaaaaaaah!" He slammed his leg into the dummy's side. The force knocked the dummy to the ground, breaking it off the stick that attached the dummy to the floor. Robin was panting hard. "What do you want Speedy?" He raised his head as Speedy moved out of the shadow behind him.
Speedy walked towards Robin. "You have to tell them."
Robin spun his head and looked straight at Speedy. "No, I mean…"
"Look, they are going to find out sooner or later." Speedy narrowed his eyes at Robin. "It is already causing a rift in this team." Speedy looked on, determined to get through to Robin. "Especially what happened up there…"
Robin grabbed Speedy. "But it was the right thing to do! That jerk deserved to die!"
Speedy narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying this Robin, or is it Blackfire?"
Robin gritted his teeth. "I don't have to take this. I know what I'm doing!"
Speedy pushed Robin off. "Really? Then why won't you tell them? What are you afraid of?"
Robin jumped and got into a karate stance. "I don't like your tone Speedy."
"Are we your enemy now Robin?" Speedy crossed his arms.
Robin seemed to snap back to reality. "No." He turned away from Speedy, feeling ashamed. "It is just that, I…I don't know how they are going to take it. I mean, until recently, we have been enemies. Blackfire isn't exactly a friend to Starfire after all. I had hoped that when Blackfire saved her, that things would improve. Instead…" Robin frowned even deeper. "I don't know how well they are going to take it."
Speedy sighed. "I understand." Speedy walked up to Robin. "But, if you continue to lie to your team, there's going to be blowback. And it won't be pretty."
Robin nodded. "I'll…I'll tell them soon."
"Good. That's good Robin." Speedy patted Robin in the back. "Speaking of Blackfire…"
"What is it?" Robin spun his head and looked at Speedy with a worried expression.
'This isn't going to be good.' Speedy thought. "Your teammates are going to kick her out." Speedy frowned.
"What?!" Robin rushed out of the room.
Main Room"We want you out of here, NOW!" Raven closed her first, trying to contain her anger.
Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven all surrounded Blackfire. Each one held contempt towards Blackfire.
Blackfire looked around the room. "Oh, and what does Robin think?"
"What we are doing is for Robin's good." Cyborg went up to Blackfire and got into her face. "We know you did something to Robin."
"Me?" Blackfire acted innocent. "What could I do to your brave leader?"
"Don't patronize us Blackfire!" Raven gritted her teeth. "Ever since you came back, there has been nothing but trouble. And what you did to Robin, whatever you did, is unacceptable."
'If you only knew…' Blackfire paused as realization hit her. 'Wait, wasn't there something special about Raven.' Blackfire deviously smirked. 'Oh, you will find out soon.' Blackfire spoke. "So, you all want me out because I did something to your poor leader."
Starfire nodded. "What you have done to Robin is not good. You must leave in order for Robin to get better."
Beast Boy followed suit. "Yeah. Why don't you go back to Tamaran and become Supreme Ruler or something! Your evil mind controlling ways for Robin must end now!"
"So, you think I'm controlling Robin's mind huh?" Backfire placed her arms on her hips.
Beast Boy scratched his head. "Well, yeah. Why else would he kill that Prince guy?"
"Enough talk!" Cyborg poked Blackfire. "I want you gone, now!"
"Fine." Blackfire crossed her arms. "Have it your way." Blackfire was about to run toward the door when she gave one final goodbye to her sister. "Of course, it has been a ton of fun. Especially with me AND Robin." Blackfire ran towards the door. On the way, she pushed Raven out of the way. When they touch, Raven was flooded of images. Raven's eyes widen as she began to assess what just happened.
Starfire blinked in confusion. "What did she mean? My sister and Robin…what did she do to my Robin?"
Raven held her chest as she tried to decipher what just occurred. She saw all of what Blackfire's planed. She even saw what they did when they thought no one was looking. Raven blushed at the images.
Beast Boy looked at the blushing Raven. "Raven, are you okay? You seemed to have more color then normal? Hehehe!" Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head.
Raven ignored Beast Boy. There was only one thing on her mind, and she doesn't like it one bit. "Robin, how could you?!"
-------End of Chapter 11
Chapter 11 is complete. Now yes, there isn't a whole lot of action in this chapter, but well, think of it as the calm before the storm. Everything is going to happen in the next chapter. The last update since I started writing the next chapters for all my stories. The end is near! Chapter 12 is the last chapter for this story. And if you think it is bad now, wait till the next chapter.
Now that Robin's secret is exposed, what happens now? What is Starfire going to do with Blackfire? With Blackfire gone, what will Robin do? Can the Teen Titans survive? All in the concluding chapter of "Dangerous Love Affair"!
Omake Time (and yes, this is a continuation from the Omake at the end of "Silent Titan" and "Two Birds…Part 2")!
Robin's RoomBlackfire yawned. She got out of Robin's bed, and got dressed. Most of her wounds that were inflicted on her during her detainment were healed. She made circles with her arm to see if she can do so. She did a few stretches with her arms and sighed. "Feels good as new. And certainly felt great like last night Robin." Blackfire seductively smirked before frowning when she received no answer from Robin. "Robin? Hello? Anyone home?"
Robin looked out the window in his room. "What have I done?"
"Like, something really nasty! Ew." Clover stood with her hands on her hips. Clover was wearing jeans and a red spaghetti strapped shirt.
"You again?" Robin stared stunned at Clover.
"Yeah!" Alex walked in next. She is wearing boots, jeans, and yellow T-shirt. "I mean, aren't you guys too young for this?"
"Um…" Robin blushed. "You know…it's a movie and all…"
Blackfire frowned deeper. "Robin and I could do anything we want."
Sam walked in. She was wearing a green sundress over a white T-Shirt, and blue pants. "You at least used protection did you? I mean, think about all the diseases that you could've gotten."
"Ummm…" Robin blushed deeper.
Clover looked over their outfits. "Also, you're not exactly doing anything superheroish right now right? Then why are you in your costumes? Don't you have normal clothes that you could wear?"
"Ummm…" Robin pushed his index fingers together. "Well, with one outfit, I don't have to worry about it…"
Alex was stunned. "You only have one type of outfit to wear?"
"Okay, that is like so strange." Clover narrowed her eyes at Robin. "I mean, how could anyone live with only one set of clothing? Especially superhero clothing!"
Raven and Starfire poked their heads through the door. "You three again?!"
CUT!
Blackfire: (Walks over to Robin) Robin. Why don't we do some, 'deleted scenes' back in my trailer.
Robin: (Blushed) Okay…
Starfire: (Steam comes out) Hey! I want to do some 'deleted scenes' with Robin.
Raven: Same here! (runs after Robin)
Beast Boy: Hey wait Raven….
SimmyC: (Grits teeth) Why are you girls here?!
Clover: (Crosses arms) We need a job.
Sam: And we won't stop until we get one.
SimmyC: Why me? Why not bother someone else!
Clover: Because, you can make us famous! Oh, it is my dream to get paid big bucks and be famous!
SimmyC: Famous? What do you mean famous?
Alex: Come on SimmyC, we know you are one of the premiere Teen Titan writers here.
SimmyC: (Ego inflates) Well, yeah. But…
Sam: Big? Great? Yeah right. (laughs) But you do pay well. So please give us a job?
SimmyC: (Ego deflates) NO!
Sam, Clover, and Alex: (Steam rises from the three)
Sam: (Picks up SimmyC) Now I don't want to hurt you. But you are leaving us no choice.
SimmyC: (Sweat drops.) Okay, okay. When something comes up, I will give you three a job. Got it?
Sam, Clover, and Alex: (Look at each other, then at SimmyC. Then the all nod in agreement)
Sam: Agreed. But when there is a job, you WILL contact us right?
SimmyC: Yeeesssss. Now…(snaps fingers. Security comes)
Sam, Clover, and Alex: EEEEEKKKK! (Runs away from security)
Alex: Okay guys, this is so getting old.
And I agree. :-P But like I've said in my other stories, I really like Totally Spies. It is fast becoming my second favorite series on Cartoon Network (behind Teen Titans) that isn't anime (even with all the reasons why I shouldn't enjoy it main stars are near stereotypical teenage girls, simple stories, and the episodes are repetitive. For example, something happens, spies investigate, get captured, bad guy tells reason then tries to kill spies, spies escape then stops bad guys.). Sadly, while I really like the series, I have no plan to put them in a standalone story. Hence, the above. So again, sorry for using them.
