alright, on with what i hope to be the best chapter
Robin approched Falcon's lair(for lack of a better word...) with Raven hovering behind him. Falcon came out, followed by Slade bots that carried Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg, all still inprisoned. Starfire looked up at Robin and started to speak, but thought better of it and simply stared at him with a renewed sparkle in her eyes. Smiling, Falcon pulled on her Slade mask and drew out her bowstaff. Robin did the same(the bow staff, not the slade mask) and prepared for battle. Falcon was about to launch her first attack when she stopped and stood upright.
"Wait. You, Raven. Over there with the others, I don't want any cheating." Reluctantly, Raven moved next to Starfire. She held her breath as the battle started. (now, you're going to have to forgive me, im terrible at fight scenes)
Robin started off with a strong attack, doing a flip and catching Falcon off gaurd from behind. She was quick not to let that happen again. She tried to get a good angle with her staff, but each time was blocked. Robin pulled out smoke bomb pellet thingys and threw them to the ground. Starfire let out a small squeak from the side, no longer able to watch the progress. However, when the smoke cleared, Robin was seen delivering a good punch to Falcon's face, knocking the mask to the ground. Not bothering to pick it up, she lunged at him again. He dodged and jumped up to kick her, but she caught his foot and swung him to the ground. He threw a boomerang which cirlce around and hit her shoulder, causing her to back up a little to let him up. He attempted to punch her again, but she caught his fist and bent his wrist back, as she had done in previous fight with him, but this time there was a definite "crack." Holding his broken wrist to his chest, Robin tried to kick Falon again, but even from the side, Raven and Starfire could see it was only a half-hearted effort. Again, she grabbed his ankle and swung him to the ground. This time, he didn't move.
"No," Beast Boy whispered.
"Robin, please," Starfire shouted, tears streaming down her face.
"You have to, you can do it," Raven urged, pushing her hood down to reveal tears in her eyes.
"No," he said, in a hoarse, but sure voice, "I can't." His head, which he had been straining to keep up, out of the dirt, fell. "You win Falcon, now let them go like you said you would."
"I said the bonds would break when you were inches from death. Perhaps I didn't explain my little metaphor clearly enough." She raised her staff above her head. "When this staff is inches from you, that's when they're free." Before anyone could react, she thrust the staff down. Starfire screamed and Robin closed his eyes. Everything seemed to move in slow motion(like it would on TV, cause thats cool...). Halfway down, the staff turned black and stopped. Raven's eyes glowed white and her cloak billowed behind her. "Foolish girl! How dare you!" Falcon released the staff and it turned silver again and fell to the ground. But as Raven moved to put her hood back up, Falcon pulled Robin up by the back of his cloak, grabbed a boomerang from his belt, and held it to his throat.
"Azarath, metri-" But Starfire was quicker. With a yell, her eyes glowed green, and she pulled the purple chains free from the rocks they were attached to. This was enough to get Falcon's attention.
"No, you can't do that!" In her panic she let Robin fall to the ground. Chains still trailing from her wrists, Starfire raised into the air and made one of those really hugely awesome starbolt explosion thingys(i know ruins the mood and everything, but i cant describe it), but it remained above her head. Right next to Falcon was Robin. Attacking her would mean hitting him too.
"Let me help," Raven smiled, eyes glowing again from beneath her hood. She shot a thin wave of black energy directly at Falcon. Halfway to her, glowing green wrapped around it as Starfire landed beside Raven. Falcon was lifted off the ground in a tornado of black and green. Slowly, the Slade armor changed into a costume that looked like robin, but the green was replaced with black, the red with silver, and the yellow with Slade's coppery orange. As the whirlwind shrunk, Falcon sank to the ground with it. When it dissappeared she lay on the ground, her hair fanned out beneath her. The collar around BB's neck came undone and the wire fell out of Cyborg's back. Starfire and Raven turned to help them up.
Robin hesitated for a moment, looking over at his friends. Then he crawled over to where his sister lay. He cradled her head in his lap and stroked the long black hair out of her face.
"Falcon, I'm so sorry," he whispered. Pale blue eyes fluttered open. Falcon sat up and took her brother's hand, looking like the young innocent child he remembered her as.
"I know. And more than anything now, I'm sorry too." Without the Slade suit or mask, with all anger gone from her face Robin could see the little girl he had left behind. A tear slipped down her cheek and she threw her arms around his neck. He hugged her back, never having regreted leaving more. Starfire walked over and helped them up. Robin leaned on her for support, being very weak. As he turned to face her, he saw a sparkle in her eyes. Without thinking, he leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. She let out a tiny eep of surprise and her face turned bright red. She giggled a bit and to her surprise heard someone else giggling behind her. She turned and saw Raven's eyes simply dancing and her hand over her mouth trying to supress more laughter. Beast Boy on the other hand, was also shocking everyone by being completely silent. When Raven had control of herself and let her hands fall to her sides, he took them in his own.
"Rae, I guess since true feelings are sorta being admitted all around, I should tell you something. I wrote all those poems." If possible, she was glowing even more.
"I know," she smiled. Blushing slightly, he reached up, took her hood down and pusheda bit of hair behind her ear. Smiling, he leaned forward and kissed her. Her face turned bright pink and a slade-bot blew up, but she smiled. Holding hands, they followed Robin, Starfire, and Falcon as they made their way back to the tower.
