Chapter 4- Fighting

Song and Cyborg talked the entire time they were doing the dishes. They mostly talked about the different adventures the Titans had had in the past. Song seemed especially interested in Cyborg's part, but he didn't seem to notice. When they were done with the dishes they went to the gym were the others were practicing.

"Go Beast Boy! Go Robin!" Starfire was yelling.

Robin and Beast Boy were sparring off in the practice ring. Robin was backing Beast Boy to the edge. Closer and closer they got. Until finally-

BEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!

"Match over. Robin wins," Raven stated.

Robin help Beast Boy up from the ground. He walked around dizzily for a second then seemed to righten himself when he saw Cyborg and Songbird watching from the door.

"Hey guys! Cyborg you're up next!" he shouted to them.

"Nope. Ladies first," He gently pushed Song into the practice area.

"I am not that good of a fighter."

"Ahhh come on. It'll be fun!" Beast Boy shouted to her.

Robin seemed to see her discomfort. "I'll go easy on you."

Songbird seemed to bristle at this statement. "All right, I will."

Robin seemed taken aback for a second at her reply, but quickly regained himself. "If you say so."

"Ready. Set. Go!" yelled Starfire.

Song didn't move, nether did Robin. They circled each other slowly, measuring each other, trying to spot weakness. Robin found his and came at her.

"YAAAAAHHHH!" he swung a fist at her. She back flipped out of the way and her foot connected with Robin's jaw, sending him back a few steps. She continued to back flip, till they were apart.

"Wow! Did you see that?" Beast Boy and Cyborg were shouting excitedly to each other.

They rushed to each other. Songbird made to cartwheel at Robin, but instead she flipped in the air over him and kicked him in the rear. Robin dodged and swung a leg at her. She dodged it easily.

"Go Robin!" yelled Starfire.

Songbird was getting very frustrated, while Robin was just starting to sweat and pant hard.

Robin came at her again. She blocked and blocked, slowly she was pushed to the edge of the mat; just like Beast Boy. She saw this and got positively furious.

She let out an ear-piercing note, right into Robin's ear. Robin, being only human, clutched his ears and stood back. Song stopped singing and seized her chance.

She came at Robin with a punch. Robin blocked, shifted his weight and flipped her small frame over his shoulder. The impact with the floor, knocking the breathe out of her. Robin came over and put his fist close to her neck, thus ending the match.

No one said anything.

Songbird was panting; her eyes were fierce and hard.

Robin wasn't moving; his eyes were unreadable under his mask.

"Robin wins," Raven's voice cut the silence.

No one moved.

Raven sighed and rolled her eyes.

Black energy enveloped the two on the mat and put them on opposite sides of the room.

Then another odd thing happened. Songbird started to stomp around, letting of a string of curses that would make the most vulgar sailor blush.

"Shit. Shit! Stupid fucking temper. I hate it! I HATE it!!" Another long stream of curses.

No one knew how to react to this. Everyone's eyes were the size of baseballs.

"Bloody hell! Stupid fucking temper!! Okay Song, calm down. CALM DOWN!!" Songbird was now yelling at herself. "Songbird I told you to calm down! Deep breaths, deep breaths."

She took her own advice. Slowly she breathed. Finally she was calm. She turned back to the Titans and blushed furiously.

"Ummm, sorry?"

"What was that all about?" Robin said.

"Yeah. You know that saying that red heads have really bad tempers? Well, that saying kinda goes double for me. I'm really sorry about that. When my tempers gets a hold of me then I get really," she searched for a word, "aggressive."

She sweat dropped.

Raven broke the silence, again. "Whatever. Just watch you language in public when you're with us."

"Kay."

Everyone seemed to go back to normal.

The rest of the day they seemed to forget her little outburst, much to the relief of Songbird.
