Author's Notes: ok, the votes are in, and Robin stays crazy. But to please everyone who said sane (AntimatterManicore), Robin will be sane for a while. Until... for the next few chapter, how about? Ok, here we go. Chapter 15 of A Matter Of Trust. Wow! Are we on chapter 15 already? Sweet!
A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 15 Chlid's Mind
Cyborg hung up on Raven and sighed. He had good news, but Robin was sure to take it badly. He turned to Robin who was muttering darkly.
"Um... Robin?"
"Must kill Slade... must find... Must kill..." Cyborg prepared for the worst.
"Right... well... Beast Boy and Raven found your girlfriend, so you can stop being crazy now." Robin's sulky face brightened.
"Found her? YAY! FOUND HER!!!" Cyborg sighed. Robin's reaction was worse than he'd thought it would be. Especailly when Robin stared chanting, "Found her! Found Her! Found her!" Robin was jumping up and down and clapping his hands while he chanted. He only stopped when he heard a whinny from somewhere in the woods.
"HORSIE!!!" he shouted, as excited as a three year old on his birthday. Robin ran off to find the source. Cyborg groaned. The way Robin was acting, he woulsdn't be surprised if he got stuck babysitting.
'He's reacting worse than I thought.' thought Cyborg. A minute or two passed. Then, all the other Titans came out of the woods. Beast Boy was in horse form, with Starfire strapped to his back by Raven's black aura. Raven herself was floating above them, and Robin was running around all of them, screaming, "HORSIE! HORSIE!" over and over and over.
'Is it just me, or is Robin's voice higher than it should be?' Beast Boy thought to himself.
His voice is higher. answered Raven. Beast Boy started.
'How did you get in my mind?!' he thought.
I've been reading your mind since we found Starfire. You were right. You DON'T use your brain much.
'Well... are you going to read my mind forever?'
"No. Just for about three weeks." Raven answered out loud. Beast Boy stopped in the middle of the campsite, and sank to his horse knees. Raven released Starfire from her hold, and she tumbled off of Beast Boy's back, onto the soft grass. Raven sasnk to the ground, and Robin's mind seemed to convert from 3 year old to normal (well, as normal as it can be. I mean, it is Robin.) He ran over to Satrfire.
"Starfire!" he said in his normal voice. He checked her pulse, and was shocked to feel her skni; it was ice cold. But she had a pulse, a very faint one, but a pulse.
"Starfire? Hellllooooo? Anyone in there?" Robin called. Starfire, as if by magic, began to stir at the sound of her name. Her eyes flickered open, and she looked around. The first thing she saw was Robin. She put on a questioning look at the smile on Robin's face.
"Abensu ockommo utya?" she asked in Tamerainian. (Translation: "Do I know you?") Robin's face fell, and his eyes widened.
"Could you repeat that in English please?"
"Anja?" ("What?")
"Huh?"
"Anja?"
"What does that mean?!"
"Anja?" Robin slapped his forhead. He turned to the other Titans.
"I think we may have a slight problem." Starfire follwed Robin's gaze, and gasped when she saw the other Titans. She looked from Robin to the Titans and back again.
"Choch ubensu utya evtame?!" she exclaimed. ("Who ARE all you people?!")
"What?" asked Cyborg.
"Anja?" Raven decided to try repeating some of the words Starfire had said, and hoped that they made sense.
"Um... Utya anja ockommo." she said. ("you what I know") 'I feel supid.' she thought. But, Starfire smiled.
"Oyjento ecete asura iffibensi hux Tamera brzzay?" (You speak the language of Tamera?") Beast Boy popped up over Cyborgs shoulder.
"Dude, What'd she say?"
"I dunno."
"Um... anja?" tried Raven. Starfire smiled again, and repeated what she had said.
"Ok, I'm pretty sure that anja means what." said Cyborg.
"Well... now what do we do? Starfire can't speak English, and we don't even know what language she's speaking." said Robin. Starfire started babbling in the language she had spoken all through this chapter. The Titans continued to discuss what to do. Finally, Starfire stopped babbling and spoke to the Tiatns.
"Koriand'r," she said, pointing to herself. All the Titans looked at her, and she repeated what she'd said.
What?" asked Beast Boy again. Starfire pointed to herself again.
"I am Koriand'r." she said. (A/N That is her real name, right?)
"Did you just say a whole sentance in English?" aske Cyborg.
"Anja?"
"Never mind." said Cyborg, shaking his head. Starfire let the subject drop.
"Starfire..." Robin started. He cut off at the puzzlement on Starfire's face. "I mean... Koriand'r, do you speak English?"
"Yun gar. Kummick ims powd?" ("A Little. How do you know me?") When none of the titans answered (they couldn't understand her) Koriand'r let the subject drop, and fell asleep.
author's notes: do you like it? Yes? No? Maybe? I named this chapter Child's Mind because Robin acts like a three year old whenever he isn't in his right mind, in my story at least. I was to lazy to invent a language, so I used a mixture of Ayorthian, Gnomic, Elvish, and something else... oh well. review if you like it.
