Author's Note: Hello everyone! thank you for all the lovely reviews! This will be the next-to-last chapter I do believe. This has been loads of fun to write and I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. But i do own this plot and my obsession with the Teen Titans and Robin's spiky hair-ness.
"How in the heck did that happen?" Cyborg finally managed to gasp, taking in Robin's appearance
Miraculously Robin's hair was still in place, not that that was much of a comfort. His hair now stood straight out from his head, giving him the look of someone who had just stuck their finger in a socket while being sprayed with a fire hose. When the still-taped Robin realized something was very wrong he began to bawl, rocking back and forth frantically till the chair toppled over, sending boy wonder and chair into the cabinets, where he lay crumpled in the floor, twitching and muttering random things to himself.
Beast Boy looked confused,
"But it burned me, why does he still have his hair?" he questioned the room, gazing at Robin with an odd expression
"I am not sure, friend Beast Boy," Starfire said, drifting over to the chattering Robin to right him, "Maybe this is a power Robin has? His hair cannot be harmed?"
"No," Raven broke in with her usual monotone voice "There's so much residue in his hair from his gel that it reacted with Starfire's.... mixture, and well, the result is what you see."
"Great, that's great, how are we going to fix this?!" Cyborg exclaimed, more to himself than the room
"Erm, Raven, is there anything your powers can do to help him?" Beast Boy asked doubtfully
Raven rolled her eyes, pulling her hood back so her face was revealed,
"If they could, don't you think I would've already used them?" she sighed, clearly losing patience with everyone else's lack of intelligence, as usual
So there they stood, gazing at Robin with the air of four little squirrels who had just seen their friend take a blow to the head with a shotgun and now had no idea what to do. They probably would have stood there for a long time too if the alarm hadn't suddenly gone off, making all of them jump, except Robin of course, who was making noises resembling a parrot's squawk.
"Robbery downtown, why do they bother? These things are always so pointless!" Cyborg grumbled, checking the screen
"Who is it?" Beast Boy asked, coming up beside him
"A nobody with a few gadgets, something we should be able to take pretty easily, but what about Robin?" Cyborg answered, checking over his shoulder at their leader
"We'll just bring him with us, he can just, what is the phrase? 'Sit and chill' while we fight." Starfire cut in from her position near Robin
Everyone else shot glances around the room, all of them making eye contact with each other at least once before Raven shrugged,
"Alright," she sighed, "it should work out pretty smoothly, how tough can this be?"
"Yeah," Beast Boy piped up, "Maybe having a psycho along will even make it a bit more fun, right Robin?"
Robin gazed up at him inquiringly, then ducked his head, mumbling something about talking asparagus being jealous of his good looks.
Inisde The T Car
"Okay... I think I've got them now!" Cyborg announced, tapping at a keypad and taking glances at the monitor. This was trickier than it may seem since he was driving while doing all of this. Beast Boy was in the seat beside him up front, gazing around carefully. Starfire, Raven, and a boggled looking Robin were all in the back. Robin had his hands behind his back and his ankles firmly bonded together. This wasn't by his choice though. Raven had used her powers to tie his wrists and ankles together with ropelike wisps of shimmering black magic, to keep him from hurting himself, or others.
"Are you sure you're not harming him friend Raven?" Starfire asked, her voice concerned
"Yes, Starfire, I want to hurt him though, trust me." she muttered, glaring at Robin, who had apparently entered a new phase of his gel-less state.
"Wow Raven, you're hair is so soft... and purple-y" he giggled, burying his nose in the empath's hair. Raven growled audibly and pushed him off, resisting the urge to tighten her magical grip on him.
Robin pulled back, crushed, but not for long,
"Ooohhh Starfire, your hair is so long...mine is kinda long too, except I don't wear it like yours, it doesn't work for the shape of my face." he told her happily, nodding to himself, then he spotted Beast Boy's somewhat messy hair poking up over his seat and his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Beast Boy, your hair is always like that isn't it?" Robin spoke, his voice dangerously low, his gaze completely fixed on the changeling's hair
Inside Robin's Head
"Now come on, his hair isn't really spiky..." sane Robin with gel said, not wanting his insane counterpart to rip his friend's head off
"But it's always styled like that! Haven't you noticed?" Insane, gel-less Robin said, foaming somewhat at the mouth and panting, "He has gel! What else can it be? And we must have it! Yes my precious! We must!" he cried, running his fingers through his puffy hairdo
"He's my friend!" Sane Robin cried out, "He's more important than my reputation!"
"To you maybe, but I like having girls swooning over me, he's green, he doesn't deserve the gel!" Insane Robin cackled
"I hate to do this, but I can't let you hurt him!" Sane Robin pulled out his bo staff
"That's sad, have you forgotten, we're the same person, I know your weakness, and I have all your weapons." Insane Robin smirked "Look, gel!" he yelled suddenly, pointing behind Sane Robin.
Sane Robin should've seen it coming. As soon as he turned Insane Robin delivered a neat blow to his head with the bo staff. He stood over Sane Robin, grinning at his handy work.
"Now, back to business." he murmured
Inside The T Car
Beast Boy reached up to brush his hair with one hand, forgetting for a moment Robin wasn't himself without his gel,
"Erm, yeah, I guess..." he mumbled
"YAAAHHH!!!! You have hair gel!" Robin yelled, flipping himself over the seat to land on top of Beast Boy
Raven mentally kicked herself for forgetting to buckle Robin in, this momentary distraction was also enough for her to release her hold on Robin, which now left his hands free to strangle Beast Boy.
"Hehe," Robin breathed, his eyes darkening maliciously "I've got you now, I'm the one with good hair around here!"
"But, dude, it's natural!" Beats Boy cried as Robin's hands inched closer towards his throat
And since Cyborg was driving, it was up to Raven and Starfire to save him, without making Cyborg wreck or turn around and go home without going anywhere. Wait, wrong thing... ah never mind. To put it simply, they had to do something Before Beast Boy died or someone bumped Cyborg into swerving off the road or something equally bad happened. After this, everyone in the tower would personally make sure Robin always had at least ten bottles of gel on hand.
Ack! Inferno! You bad girl!
Yes, I'm sorry, I love my cliff hangers, I adore them, it's something I just can't help.
Will Robin achieve in his quest to strangle Beast Boy?
Can Raven and Starfire stop him?
Will Cyborg turn the car around if he hears one more person as for a potty break?
Who is the villian the Titans are after, even though they aren't concerned?
Might he have something to do with the plot?
We shall see, my friends.
