Waking Up
My eyes fluttered open to see a distressed Starfire laying across my chest. My hair was in my face, and it felt as if I had been sweating. I moved, trying not to wake Starfire up, for she looked like an angel sleeping like that across my chest, not to mention, I kind of liked how it felt.. Anyways, no memories of what had happened came to me, so I sat up, with a headache. Starfire woke as I moved, looked at me, then hugged me tightly, though it wasn't one of her amazingly suffocating hugs, thank god. "Robin.. is it you?" she asked slowly. "Yeah. It is me.. who else would it be?" I asked. I noticed the lights were off, and heard the loud footsteps of none other than Cyborg. He turned on the light, my eyes buring because of that. Then, I noticed I was wearing the a Nightwing costume, and managed to mutter an "Oh. What happened?"
Jinx walked into the room. "What is she doing here! Get her out!" I commanded. "No, Robin.. she is a Titan now. When you made me captian, I took pity on her.. and if she messes up, well, you know." said Starfire timidly. "Star.. could you lease explain what is going on here completely? Before I yell at you for making her a Titan without my consent?" I said, trying to stop from exploding. SHE DID THIS! I SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE HER CAPTIAN! But.. why did I make her captian, again? Oh, well.. she should explain that in just a minute..
She did explain everything, and I began to hate myself. How I had consented to Brother Blood's brainwashing.. and when Jinx gave me her side of the story, how I had flirted with her. How I had.. maybe even loved her. But, one thing that is certain.. we were good friends. I was good friends with someone evil. Someone who would steal from innocent people, who would hurt them. "Robin, I knew you and Starfire belonged together. I knew if you got out, you would forget about me immediately and go back to her. But, I just want my friend back. That is all I ask. I can adapt quickly.. in fact, my mom wasn't evil, just my dad. I can be good.. I just might take a day or two. Please, Robin. Give me this one chance. PLEASE." she begged me. I couldn't believe the sincerity in her eyes, her voice. It was as if her whole mind, body, and soul was being put in front of me to judge. I couldn't say no.. it seemed impossible to pass through my lips. SO, instead, I said,"Yeah. ONE chance." with a nod. She hugged me lightly, kissed me on the cheek. Starfire looked at her as if she was about to kill Jinx, but Jinx saved herself when she said,"I'll leave you two alone. You need to catch up on a LOT." She knew her place, at least when it came to me and Starfire.
Cyborg nodded in approval at Jinx's descision, and walked out of the room before checking my stats once more. He said,"After you two have a little discussion, Robin, you can get out and change into your normal uniform." "Thanks." I said, and he walked out of the room. "OH, Robin, I am soo glad you are back! I am sorry I did not come to rescue you sooner.. I think i have decided what I was thinking, at least in the back of my mind. I wanted to show you I was a good leader, to respect your wishes. though, now I have decided you might have to disobey your loved ones in order to really show you love them." I smield lightly at her and said,"If I EVER make a stupid decision like that.. stop me." SHe laughed heartily and hugged me again.
"Hey... Robin, do you remember how I kissed you to bring your memory back?" she asked. "Yeah.. I don't remember the kiss, but I recall you telling me about it." I said slowly. "You don't remember, huh? Oh, well.. I really liked it.." she said shyly, and turned her head away from me, as if she did something wrong. "Star, I am sure I did, too." I said with a nod. I turned her head towards me, and said,"I am sure I liked it.. even though my head was in considerable pain from the brainwashing finally going away." She smiled, and then kissed me lightly on the lips quickly. She blushed and said,"I am sorry.. I don't know what came over me..." She was about to leave, when I stood up and lightly grabbed he arm, stopping her.
Back in the Main Room (Jinx's POV)
I was sitting on the couch, as Beast Boy was playing some kind of action game involving monkies, while Raven was reading a book. I looked over at Cyborg, to see him staring at me, then looking away once my gaze turned to him. He stood up and walked over to me, and asked,"Jinx? Uh.. can I talk to you, in the hallway, privately, for a moment?" I nodded and stood up, following him into the hallway. He looked at me nervously, and asked,"Remember when I was a student, er, double-agent, at the HIVE? And how, well, we seemed to get along well? In fact.. we went to the dance together?" I nodded, remembering it all too well.. his arms around my waist, us swaying softly to the slow music playing...
"Well.. um.. I think i still feel that way about you." he said. I thought about it for a second, and even though I got distracted by Nightwing.. er, Robin.. I realize I still liked Cyborg as well. "Cyborg.. I think I do, too." I said truthfully. "Really? I am amazed.. I thought that you liked.. Robin.." he said. "Nah.. now that I think about it, he was just a, well, distraction." I said with a smirk. "SO.. movies on Staurday?" he asked. "Sounds great." I said. He put his arms around me in a tight embrace, and I hugged back. I kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then we both headed to the main room, my hand in his. When we got into the room, Beast Boy exclaimed,"Dude! Is everyone going out with one another but me and Raven!" He thought for a second, looked up at her hopefully, and she fatly said,"No way. I am not allowed to control emotions, you know that. I don't know HOW I would feel if I COULD have emotions." "That is alright, I'll wait for you, Raven." She raised an eyebrow, but then went back to her book. He sighed, and continued his game.
In the Infirmary (back to Robin's POV)
She turned around, and said,"It is wrong for Tameraneans to show any signs of love before marriage and ultimately, mating. I am sorry." "Starfire, you aren't on Tameran anymore. It doesn't matter about those traditions." I said, pulling her close to me. "Robin.. you really.. don't mind?" she asked, timidly. "No, I don't. Starfire, I love you." I said. My head leaned forward to hers, adn finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, they touched. Her arms went automatically around my neck, and my arms were around her waist. "I love you, too, Robin." she said leaning back for a second, and then leaned in to deepen the kiss. This is the moment, no matter how brainwashed I get, I will NEVER, EVER, let myself forget.
The End
I thought this would be a great ending.. it shows that Cyborg and Jinx will end up together; Beast Boy will wait fro Raven to be able to show emotions, especially love; and Starfire and Robin will end up together. I hope you liked it! And next, I think I might write a Harry Potter series.. or just another Teen Titans one. xD I'll have to think about it. SO.. yeah.
