Chapter 9: Knowing the Truth

"Fight Now." Slade said. Starfire looked back at Slade and then at Robin. She then sighed and aimed the ray gun at him. Slade smiled and back away from Starfire to let the Tamaranian Princess do her work. "Very good. I will now test you Apprentice." With that Slade threw some smoke pellets on the ground and disappeared.

"I will be watching your every move." Slade said through her earpiece. Starfire nodded and the ray gun started to glow red. Robin approached her and had a look of hurt.

"Starfire..." Robin said reaching out to her. Starfire frowned andthe ray gun was shot. But it wasn't Robin she hit. It was a few cameras that were in the corner.

"APPRENTICE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Slade screamed in her ear. "Sorry I missed." Starfire said.

"Sorry will not cut it. Now I want to see him go down." Slade said. Starfire nodded. Robin frowned.

"If you want a fight Star, you'll get a fight." Robin muttered and charged at her. Starfire took his arm and threw him across the room. Robin landed on the floor in loud thud and Starfire approached him. Robin stood up and took out a bird-a-rang. And held it up to defend himself.

Starfire aimed the ray gun at Robin. Both stood silent looking at each other.

"Perfect." Starfire murmmured. Robin, meanwhile, gabve up and laid down his weapon and waited for her attack. He just surrendered. Why had he done that? The leader of the Teen Titans surrender? For Starfire, Robin would surrender anything for her. Starfire smiled and Robin closed his eyes. Robin heard as the ray gun was shot and opened his eyes.

I'm alive? But how the heck--

But his thoughts were interuppted when he saw Starfire crying on the floor with the earpiece on the floor. What was going on?

"Starfire?" Robin asked as he looked at the one girl he loved and sat down beside her. Starfire looked up at him and then threw at him with an embrace and Robin started to blush. He missed how she felt and how she smelled, which was still thet same.

"Robin I am so sorry! It is all my fault! I never meant to hurt you! I must tell you the truth before Slade comes down here." Starfire said and started to cry onto his shirt. Now he was confuseed.

"Wait Star? What about Slade? Can't he hear us?" Robin asked as he he put her arms around her to make her feel safe. Starfire shook her head.

"No...I used the weapon to destroy the devices that Slade has set up to see us. Robin...I am sorry." Starfire said sobbing. Robin frowned and pulled away from the crying alien and started to wipe away some of her tears with his gloved thumb.

"Hey...hey...calm down. Starfire, it's ok. I'm here." Robin said and held her in his arms. He missed the feeling of her in his arms. Starfire stopped crying and started to calm down.

"Robin...you have to know...I turned to Slade...to because I thought...you liked to be with Kitten." Stafire ssaid through soft sobs.

Robin frowned and though of the psychotic blonde. "Starfire, I never liked her."

"But why did you do this breaking up with me then?"

Robin pushed a hair outof her face. "I only did it to protect you. Look, this whole thing was set up. If I didn't go with Kitten...she would hurt you. That's why...Starfire I would never love anyone as much as you." Robin said smiling. Starfire looked upat him with puffy eyes andreturned a warm smile and buried her head in his chest.

"I love you too Robin." Starfire muttered and looked up at him. Robin smiled and then their faces got closer and just when they were about to kiss,

"APPRENTICE!" Slade screamed from the doorway that was in one corner of the room. Fottunately, Slade didn't now what was going on.(just so you know the lair looks like the one that Slade has always had through the episodes)

Starfire broke away from Robins spell and yelled, "I'M TRYING!" Slade meanwhile was heading down a flight of stairs.

Starfire stood up and helped Robin up.

"Robin you have to get out. If you stay here any longer you will get hurt. You are in danger." Starfire said quickly.

"Wait what!" Robin said.

"You are in danger. Now you must go!" she said as she pushed him out the door.

"Wait. I'm not leaving you. I don't care if I'm in danger. I love you Starfire, I'm not letting you go." Robin said as he pressed his lips against hers. Starfire in turn kissed him back but pulled away when she heard Slades voice.

"You must go now! Robin please!" Starfire siad as she pushed him out the door. Robin was just about to go out when he turned around to face her and he took her hand.

"I'll be back I promise." Robin said smiling and kissing her hands. Starfire smiled.

"I will be waiting. Ilove you Robin." Starfire said giving him a quick kiss.

"I love you too Star." Robin said and turned to go back to the tower.

Starfire then flew down and used the ray gun to blast part of the walls to make Slade believe that the was really a battle. She then started to pretend she was tired by breathing heavily.She even gave her arm a punch to make a a little bruise.

Slade then came through the doors. "Apprentice! Where is the little brat?" he asked.

"He...he escaped. I was so close to destroying him." Starfire said as she panted. Slade approached her and striked her on her face.

"You can do better than that. I guess I have to train you more." Slade said and a few moments later threw Starfire into her room.

When he left her, Starfire stayed in her room and curled up in her bed. "I'll be waiting for you Robin..." she murmmured and fell alseep.
