AN: Hey ppl! How're ya'll doing! Happy late Easter and early April fools day. Thankz to the reviewers! It's great having all of your support.
I also wanted to mention that I know that I'm straying away from my original plot, its just I got plan for it so no worries! Thank you all for the reviews!
I'm not really sure what got me so attracted to the little red-headed Tamaranian, but she just has me simply fascinated. I picture her in my mind, her fiery locks, her green eyes, her friendly personality. That was the strangest of all, knowing that I had fallen for someone so pure…on the inside and out. This infatuation got me to thinking the moment I was able to have her in my grasp. Was she just a crush to me or a fantasy?
The second I had gotten the perfect chance to strike I took it. None of 'em saw it coming; they didn't think I had the balls to steal anything again.
I still had the problem of not having the belt and decided to make my own. Of course I thought about stealing the original belt back…but figured I could just make a new one, a better one. But I had another small problem…I needed Psynophium.
With little weapons at my disposal I headed to the Jump City correctional center. I used a home-made pipe bomb to blow the wall open. But the second I had blasted a large hole in it the Titans had shown up. Not even having the chance to find Professor Chang I was caught off-guard by a green blast heading for my head. Of course I ducked as I saw her fly forward to get a better shot. I did a sloppy back-flip and pulled the Phantom Interpretation System from my new belt. Attaching it to her right shoulder, she fell to the ground. The others just stared as I swiftly got away with her in my arms.
I ran into the alley nearest the scene and tried to take everything that could be used to track her down off. That pretty much left her in her underwear, which I thought of taking off at the time as well. I rushed out of the alley leaving it all behind. I grinned and began heading to my secret location…my basement.
I tied her to a wall and injected her with this crap I got from an old friend from Gotham, Poison Ivy. I looked her up and down hungrily but refrained from doing anything else. I didn't want to hurt her or take advantage of her in any way. I just wanted her to understand, to know exactly what I thought of her. She was breath-taking as she slept, but a bitch when she woke.
I didn't think that she had a bitchy side to her; it was a real surprise to find out. But none-the-less I still thought she was amazing. I might have lost my temper a few times, but any evil mastermind has an off-day. I remembered her face the second she saw Bird-boys cape, pure adoration, she really liked that guy. I was pissed. Leaving her on the cold floor I walked out of the room before my temper got the best of me.
"Damn it!" I yelled as I threw myself down onto my bed. There had to be away to convince her I would do anything to make her happy. I sat there for a while thinking of my options.
Let her go-not gonna happen.
Be compassionate, see what she wants, listen to her.-it was worth a try.
I leapt out of my bed and headed back down to the basement. I opened the door and stared ideally at the beautiful girl on the stone floor. She tried to sit up slowly and I grinned underneath my mask.
"You're beautiful when you sleep." she looked down and I noticed the pink lining her cheeks. She was flattered, but she was fighting it.
"Don't want to talk, fine you can listen." I growled harshly. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"May I have my articles of clothing back?" she asked me as I eyed her warily.
"May I have my clothing back?" she asked again seeing as I hadn't answered her question.
"Can't don't have them." I stated simply. Her eyes once again turned to the floor.
"Surely you have clothing for me to wear, you said you did not want to take advantage of me, and I feel that without clothing you are." I laughed slightly.
"You're wearing underwear." I responded haughtily. She chuckled.
"That does not count, please… I shall cooperate if I have clothing." Cooperate huh? I smiled and nodded.
"Any preference?" I asked her.
"Purple" not something that surprised me.
That should have been a pretty easy request, only if not for my dire need to impress her. Wanting to give her the best clothing possible,I could have easily hit a Wal-mart. But I knew she was too good for that, her being a princess and all. Using another home-made pipe bomb, I blasted open the back door of the famous Marion Boutique. Rushing in I ordered everyone to hit the floor. After they did what they were told to I began searching for the goodies. I grabbed anything purple that I could get my hands on and ran out of the store.
I leaped through the shadows and hid in alleyways, all to get this one girl to understand me.
"Dick?" I turned abruptly as everyone walked out of the room.
"Yeah Babs?" I replied as I fastened my helmet on my head. She gave me a small smile.
"I was just wondering if you had forgotten about Bruce…and his inquisition." I admitthat his request hadn't cross my mind the whole time I was back at the Tower and facing this problem. But none-the-less I was glad everyone had left the room, I wasn't ready to explain it to them.
"I mean after we find Starfire, you have thought about it haven't you?" I shook my head.
"No I haven't Babs, but honestlyI don't think I can leave the Titans now...not when X has her by the strings, she's my best friend and I cant go...even when it means so much to Bruce." She looked crestfallen, but what I said was the truth.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to think about it" Babs just bowed her head.
"You…have feelings for her don't you?" I was surprised by her question.
"I…"
"Come on were about to leave without you!" Beast boy shouted from the door. I gave her an apologetic smile from under the helmet and ran out the door.
Rain pounded heavily to match my mood. The cloudy sky roared with thunder and flashed with lightning. I pictured my bedroom on one night in particular…
The door to my room creaked lightly waking me up immediately, superhero's tend to be light sleepers. I yawned and sat up quickly remembering to grab my belt off of the bedside table. A flash of lightning brightened up my room for little over a second and a chuckled slightly. I moved to turn on the light when I heard a small sniffle.
"I do not see what is so humorous about this particularly frightening night." The light turned on and I stared at her red, puffy eyes.
"Awe Star there's nothing to be scared about. It's just a little lightning and thunder." She sniffled again as I patted the empty spot on my bed. She sat down and I handed her a tissue. Wiping her nose she jumped as another blast of thunder pounded in the sky.
"On my planet such noise would mean the Glorplacks are attacking." I smiled and laughed.
"Nope Star, just normal stormy weather." She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me questionably.
"Richard, I know that I should not be afraid but…" I cut her off.
"It's alright Kori, you can stay in here tonight." She smiled at me gratefully.
"I am not a burden on you?" She always thought that, always thought that her questions were bothering me.
"Never." I stated moving over to make room for her next to me on my bed. She smiled and laid herself down beside me fingering my mask, which I had forgotten to take off beforeI went to bed.She smiled and gently peeled it off.
"You are wonderful Robin, I am truly glad that I have such a great friend."
Rushing down the streets on my bike I sighed as Raven tapped onto the communicators screen.
"I managed to get a tracking device on the clothing but I couldn't get one on him." I looked at the screen.
"How?" Raven had her ways, it was only weird that she had done it so secretly.
"While you were chatting away with Babs I transported myself to the store and quickly threw a device on anything that was purple and in throwing distance, it just so happened X walked out of the door with the item."
"And he didn't see you?" she grinned.
"What can I say I'm good at what I do." I laughed.
"Track it then, the sooner the better." She nodded and logged off.
We were one step closer to finding her, and one step closer to bringing her home.
Thankies for the reviews! U all rock!
