Comforting Starfire
Starfire flew home, leaving Robin to walk home alone. She knew that was rather mean and didn't want to do that to him, but she knew he deserved it for spying on her. She landed on the rooftop and went through the doors that led into the living room. She sat on the couch, tired from dancing. She thought that she couldn't make it to her room, even with her happy thoughts. She removed her boot and started to massage her foot, and then she took off her other boot and started to massage her other foot. She lay on the couch and tried to keep her eyes open, but failed.
Robin came in minutes later. He was going to sit down, but saw a red head sleeping like an angel. As she was, he was tired. He picked her up with the remaining strength he had and walked into the hall. He saw her room and opened it. He walked to her bed, pulled the covers to the side and laid her down softly. He tip toed out, trying not to make a sound on the way out. Starfire opened her eyes a little and saw him. She was going to call out to him, but forgot that she was angry at him. She couldn't help it, but to stare at him as he shut the door behind him.
The next morning, Starfire rose from her bed. Her hair bushy and some knots in her hair. Her glitter still stuck on to her hair. Without getting dressed, she went into the kitchen and made herself some waffles. She sat at the table eating them gracefully. Robin came in. He had dressed already. He looked at her and she saw him looking at her. She said good morning to him and he replied back. He made himself eggs and sat across from her. They glanced at each other several times. They seemed to have had a silent morning. Raven came in with a book in her hand. She sat on the couch.
"Good Morning, Raven." Starfire motioned a wave to her.
"Good Morning, Starfire, Robin." Raven said looking up from her book.
Starfire got up from her chair and walked to the sink to put her plate and fork in. She went back to her room, to get ready for the day. She brushed her hair and some of the glitter seemed to have fallen from her hair. She put on her suit and walked back into the living room. The alarm went off.
"Titans go!" Robin yelled.
Everyone ran out the door. They saw Cinderblock breaking into the bank. Raven used her telekinesis to move a car to throw at Cinderblock. Starfire flew to Cinderblock and he hit her, making her become unconscious. She started to fall, Robin ran to catch her, but Speedy came and caught her instead. Robin looked at him with shock filling his eyes. Where did he come from? His anger seemed to rise, his blood began to boil. What else could he do to make me so angry? Robin thought.
"I'll take her to the tower, she seems to be unconscious." Speedy told Robin. Speedy started to run with her back to the tower. Robin looked at his teammates defeating Cinderblock, and then he looked at the two red heads. Robin ran after Speedy.
"No, I don't trust you with her." Robin stated.
"Well you have to. I'm just taking her to the tower."
No matter how much Speedy offered and told him he was just going to the tower, Robin didn't believe him. He knew he would make it to the tower with her, but what else would he do while he was there?
"You know what, Speedy? I think it's just best that I take her." Robin said anger filling his eyes.
"Robin? A little help here, this block dude is totally kicking our butts." Beast boy yelled out.
Robin stared into Speedy's masked eyes.
"Yo, Robin!" Cyborg said holding back Cinderblock with all of his strength.
Robin turned around to see his teammates. He turned around and saw Speedy take off. He couldn't catch up to him now.
At the tower, Speedy laid Starfire down on the couch. He looked at her as she tried to open her eyes. She saw Speedy looking at her, grinning. She smiled back, rubbing her head where Cinderblock hit her. She sat up, moaning from the pain in her head. She thanked Speedy for bringing her back to the tower and he welcomed her. They both looked at each other for a long time. Speedy got love struck and moved his face closer to hers, his eyes got lower and he grabbed her head to come closer to his. She put her hand to his chest and pushed him. She didn't want to do that to Robin, even if Robin couldn't love her, but she would always love him.
Speedy looked at her and made an angry face. She became a little afraid. He came to her again and tried to move in again. She forced herself away from him, her head was already hurting. Robin and the others came in and saw Starfire pushing Speedy away.
"Hey, get away from her!" Robin shouted.
Speedy looked at him and pulled away from Starfire. Starfire's eyes got a little teary and she ran to her room. Speedy left the tower. Starfire laid on her bed face up crying. She rubbed her head. Robin knocked on the door. She told him to go away; he told her he just wanted to talk. That's all he ever wants to do, Starfire thought. She let him come in. He had a pack of ice in his hands. He gave the pack to her and she took it and placed in on her head.
"Thanks," Starfire said her eyes puffy and red. Her voice was different, because she had been crying for awhile.
"What's wrong, Starfire?" Robin asked.
"Everything is wrong." Starfire said looking at him.
Robin knew what she meant by 'everything'. He looked at her and the only thing he could do was put his arm around her. She turned to him and smiled and he returned the smile. Her insides began to twist and turn. Starfire laid her head on his shoulder. Oh no, what is she doing? Robin thought. He didn't want to get too attached to her.
"Starfire, I'm sure everything will be okay. Tomorrow will be better." Robin said pulling away from her slowly. He liked the feeling of her on him, but he just had to get away from her. "Starfire, keep the ice on your head." He pulled his arm away from her, and he left the room.
At least it is a start, Starfire thought, but I am not sure what Robin thinks of me now.
