Chapter eleven

Cyborg pushed the titans tower door open and hummed to himself. He was thinking about his baby.

The T-car.

'I haven't polished her in a while,' he thought, feeling panicky. 'I hope she hasn't rusted.'

He sighed before deciding to go get some food, recharge after the battle then go polish the car. But as soon as he wandered into the room he felt all his plans shatter.

BB was sitting in the middle of the room on the floor, arms spread out like a starfish. He seemed to be unconscious.

"Oh my God!" yelped Cy, quietly. He ran over to the shapeshifter and shook him.

"B," he squeaked in a high pitched voice. "B, speak to me, man!"

"Huh…wha?" mumbled BB, sitting up groggily and rubbing his head. "Cy, what's the matter?"

"Who attacked you? Are they here?" yelled a horror struck Cyborg. "DID THEY TOUCH MY BABY!"

"What!" BB questioned, kicking out and falling backwards. "Where!"

"You've gotta have been attacked. I mean look at you, man. Your face is all pale, your eyes are bloodshot, you look weak and frightened and your hair is messy…"

"My hair is always messy!"

"Point taken."

"Cy, I dunno what you've been taking, but maybe we need to get you some help…"

"I DON'T NEED NO HELP! I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY FRIEND HADN'T BEEN ATTACKED BY SOME CRAZY VILLAIN!" yelled the android, waving his arms frantically. "Jeez."

"Alright, dude, chill!" BB retorted, shaking his head. "I'm fine. I'm just a little worried about Raven."

"Oh yeah!" Cy answered, cursing himself for forgetting about his friends health. "Is she alright?"

"No," B answered solemnly. "She's still in hospital. They want to monitor her because even though she's stable there could be a sudden change in her condition which makes her spiral into uncontrollable oblivion.."

The changeling squeaked the last few words then turned into a hedgehog which rolled into a ball.

"B, I'll hand it to you," Cy answered, sitting down slowly. "That was the most intelligent thing which passed your lips. Excludin' tofu of course."

"Well, whatever," BB answered, once he'd turned back into himself. "She's still in there. And I'm worried and – hey! Did you just say I was dumber than tofu?"

"I never said that. I implied it, but I never said it," grinned the metal man.

Beast boy growled something inaudible. But he shook it off and fell back down onto his back.

"Doesn't Rae have that inbuilt rehealing thingy," queried Cy, wiggling his fingers as if casting a spell. BB shook his head.

"She was way to beat up for that. I mean, she could be dead!"

"Chill, dude."

"Cy, I'm worried about her," he continued, flexing his hands. "She was mumbling about Terra."

"Terra? Terra!" Cyborg remembered. "Damn, what happened to Terra?"

"Oh, yeah," BB recalled, closing his eyes. "She's gone again. Always going away."

"I'm sorry, dude," Cy sympathised. "I guess this must be hard on you, huh?"

"What? Terra going away? Nah," the changeling flicked his hand. "I've dealt with it before, I'll deal with it again."

He sat upright suddenly. "And besides, she never even thanked Rae for what she did!"

"She probably wasn't thinking. You know T. I'm sure she didn't mean it," Cy answered, rationally. But the shapeshifter was beyond rationality.

"Yeah, I do know T. She never means it, but she still does it. Like the time she dented and scratched your car in that battle and never apologised. Remember that?"

Cyborg looked as if he had been hit by a sudden bolt of electricity. "HEY! I forgot about that! Gah, that girl needs to be taught a lesson!"

"It's probably for the best that she went away," B continued, ignoring the android and sighing. "Raven shouldn't have taken that shot."

"Nope."

There was a silence, as the two pondered the situation.

"Why did she do it?"

"What?"

Beast boy's emerald eyes fixed on Cyborg. "Why did she save Terra?"

"Why? Because Terra is our friend and Raven did what you do in a team. Look out for eachother."

"No," BB answered, shaking his head. "Raven never liked Terra."

"So what? It doesn't mean she wouldn't save her. Raven is the mysterious one," Cy stated, matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, I know," agreed Beast boy. "But I think it's deeper than that."

"Since when have you cared about how 'deep' something is? Excluding our 'how deep is a packet of nachos' conversation."

BB gave a chuckle at the memory, but it had a tired sound. Cy frowned and looked around the room.

"So, where are Robin and Starfire?"

Robin was dangling dangerously high up in the air as the Tameranian flew the two back to the tower, dragging him by his hands.

"STAR!" yelled Robin suddenly, waving his feet around. "Watch out for that!"

But it was too late, the young man was pulled through a clump of trees, emerging with leaves everywhere. He spat them out of his mouth..

"Thanks, Star," he moaned, shaking the leaves out of his hair. He looked up at the Tameranian, who giggled.

"Oh, I am most sorry!" she gushed. But there was a mischievous glint in her eye. Robin frowned. But it was not too long after that she dropped him gently down onto the cold yet warmingly familiar concrete roof. Star floated slowly to the ground, her hands clasped sweetly, a small smile on her face.

Robin felt his cheeks redden. Why did she always look so damned beautiful? He felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

"Starfire," he began taking a step back, whilst simultaneously rubbing the back of his head. "I—"

He was cut off as he fell backwards off the tower.

"ROBIIIIN!" screamed Starfire, panic rising in her throat as she landed and ran to the edge ready to dive off it.

That was when she saw a hand grabbing the rim. She peered over. There was a sickly grin on Robin's face.

"Just getting you back for earlier," he disclosed, pulling himself up with ease. Starfire didn't know whether to hug him or slap him.

"Oh, Robin, I thought you had truly fallen…"

The tears were welling up the corners of her deep jade eyes, through sheer frustration of not being able to decide how to react. Robin touched her cheek gently.

"Oh, Star," he laughed softly, touching her light peach coloured skin. "I was only messing around."

"I am sorry," she sniffed. "I know you were, but I am always so frightened that I may lose you…"

"You'll never lose me," answered Robin, taking her delicate hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'll look after you forever."

"You cannot promise that," Star countered, wrapping her spare arm around his neck and pulling him closer. "We shall not be around forever."

"No matter how long we are together here in this tower, we'll never be apart in spirit," Robin answered, rubbing his nose against her soft cheek. "I promise you that much."

"Then that," Starfire replied, moving her lips closer to his as she whispered:

"That is what I shall believe in."
