. Before Starfire could push the trigger anymore so that it would kill her, Robin grabbed her hand and aimed the pistol at the ground.
"BANG!" rang out the gun as Starfire pushed the trigger completely.
"Robin let go!" Starfire struggled for him to release his grip on her. The more she struggled though the more he held tighter.
"Starfire what are you doing?! Do you realize that you could have killed yourself?!"
"Yes I do now let go!" she said in a raised voice. She struggled. Robin held even tighter.
"Starfire why would you want to kill yourself? And where did you get that gun?" Robin questioned. Starfire stopped struggling and sighed.
"Well since you do not need me on the team anymore and I do not desire to go back to Tameran there is no reason for me to live here anymore. And I got that gun from the evidence room when you were explaining to me what a gun was a few months ago. I thought that I might have use for it in the future so I stole it. I have taken it out of my room now for the use I have for it now. Now please unhand me Robin! I wish to be rid of myself now!" Starfire started to struggle once again. Robin held on though.
"Starfire what ever gave you the idea that I didn't need you on the team?" asked Robin. Starfire didn't answer. She just kept on trying to get out of his grasp.
"Starfire!" Robin yelled. Starfire kept struggling as she gave her answer.
"We all work together to fight villans. Why is Slade any different? You said that you did not need me. Therefore I must be rid of myself now please let go!" Starfire stopped struggling seeing that it was useless and burst into tears. Robin's face softened. He hated to see her like this. He pulled her into a hug and she cried on his shoulder. It was not five minutes when Robin spoke.
"Starfire your right. Slade isn't any different from any other villan. We should all work together. I'm so, so sorry for giving you the impression that I didn't need you Starfire. I will always have a need for you. So please don't kill yourself. If you did I don't know what I'd do." Worry, sadness, and anger filled his voice as he said this. Starfire broke away from Robin and looked him in the eye. (Mask rather.)
"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere." Robin smiled at her then hugged her again. Starfire hugged him back. After a minute Robin broke away. He looked very nervous.
"St…Starfire(cleared his voice and pulled at his collar.) I've been meaning to tell you. I… I don't know how to say it other than this but I…I…love you." Robin looked down at the ground expecting the worst. Starfire started to cry again. Robin looked up. 'Aw man now look what you've done Robin! You made her cry! You are such an idiot!' He mentally slapped himself in the face.
"Starfire I..I'm sorry if you don't like me back then we can just go back to being regular friends. But..just… please don't cry." Robin begged. He stepped towards her.
"No…no…it…it's not that it's just." She said this between sobs. She looked up at him with tear stained eyes.
"I…I've felt the same way for so long. Robin you mean the world to me. I didn't tell you though because I was afraid that you wouldn't feel the same way. And I didn't want to get my heart broken or loose my best friend." Robin just smiled at her.
