Just a bit of Danger
After Raven had healed him, Robin left to go train. And that's where he had been, for the pasted two hours, pounding away as a heavy bass line and drums blasted through him. Robin liked to listen to music when he trained, he mainly listened to some heavy rock, just because it helped him to concentrate, and time his movements. This was all going fine, until the punching bag broke. Raven's healing left hin feeling rejuvenated, and he had gotten so into the bass timing of the current song that he hadn't realized how hard he was hitting. Until he swung at the punching bag and his fist came in contact with nothing but air, throwing him off balance. Now usually, this didn't cause a problem, he'd just go get a spare bag from the closet, but Cybrog was doing a bit of remodeling had moved some things around. Leaving a clueless Robin, so he clicked off the stero, and grabbed his shirt. (It was discarded over a set of weights.) He wiped his face using his tee and then placed it around his shoulders as a make shift towel, leaving him in nothing but some sweat pants.
Boy Wonder, left the training room in search of his mechanical friend, thinking it was best to try the rec room or the garage. About half way to the rec room, he stopped, suddenly he felt like he was frogetting something. Robin thought he might have left something in the training room, but as he thought about it, he realized that he had everything. The masked titan leaned against the wall, and crossed his arms over his well formed chest mucsles. He scratched his head once, in thought, his mind set on finding out what he was forgetting.
After several moments, he decieded it must of had something to do with Star, that maybe they had plans that night. Though, that didn't seem excatly right to him either, but he decided to ask her anyway. And if she didn't have the answer then he'd consult his calendar, a date of any importance was marked there, in some way. Like, Beast Boy's birthday is colored in green on his calendar, Cybrog's is blue, and Star's is pink. His and Star's anniversary has a heart around it, marked with the number of months it had been. Also, a number of plans were written in on the dates, like plans with his girlfriend, or conventions in the city, metor showers, etc. So if there was anything important that he was forgetting it would be there.
Turning on his heel he began to walk to the nearest flight of stairs, since his bag gave out before he got to exercise his legs much he figured it might be a good way to work them out. Boy, would he regert taking the stairs in just a short amount of time.

A faint giggling could be heard from a dark corner a few floors up from the training room, but they were only a corner or so away from a certain green Titan.
"Roy, we could be caught." The woman's voice cooed, still giggling.
"Come on Star, everyone likes a bit of danger..." Said Roy, his hot breath tickling her ear, before his started to nible on it. A soft gasp could be heard from Star's mouth, as he found a sensitive spot on her neck.
There wasn't another protest from her, only small noises of pleasure.

Robin had already walked four floors, and was about to enter the fifth one when he thought better of it. 'Why not pay Beast Boy, and Aqualad a vist?' He thought to himself, 'I wonder how they're doing, and if they remember anything from last night.' A light chuckle left him as he pulled open the door. Robin wouldn't be smiling in a few minutes.
He walked without noise towards his fellow teamate's room, him being without his normal boots helped him. Not that he was trying to sneak around, it just came naturally to him. Robin shivered lightly, and pulled his shirt on. When he reached the door, he knocked, then paused, knocked again, another pause, then finally, two quick knocks. It was a code the boys had invented years ago, to let each other know who was at the door. That was the 'Robin' knock. He listened waiting for a respone, there was a swift double knock, which meant 'Are you alone?'. Three more quick knocks, told the person behind the door that he was infact alone. There was other different knocks, all meaning different things. It came in handy, especially if the girls were with one of them, and the guys had to "clean up".
During this whole knocking bit, Star's noises went unnoticed, but that also could be because of the fact that her tongue was busy trying to clean a certain Titan East's tonsils.
There was swish, and Robin looked down expected to see BB, who was still shorter then him by a few inches, instead he was met with the gleam of metal. Robin looked up, only to see Cyborg's face, looking a bit frantic. The half man, half computer stuck his head out the door and looked around.
"Cybrog?" Asked the confused leader.
"Shush, man not so loud!"
"What's up? And why are you in BB's room?"
"I'm hiding, from Rae, and I figured she'd never want to venture in here."
Robin could understand why, not many of the Titan's stayed for long in the changeling's room. They were never quite sure what was hidden under the mass of dirty cloths, and equally dirty dishes. No one stayed long enough to find out what else was in his room.
"Oh, where is he?"
"I'm pretty sure, him and Aqualad are at the arcade."
"M'kay."
Cybrog nodded, then shut the door. Robin started at the door, thinking the older of the two was being a bit rude, but then again he was hiding from Raven. It was best to lie low.
Standing there, Robin soon turned to go back the stair case when he heard something. A giggle, it was farmilar he had heard it before, but where? Turning again he began to sneak down the hallway, this time trying to be quiet. He heard it again, the giggle, and he knew who it belonged to ...Starfire. Her giggle and everything about her he had memerized. Curious now he continued down the hall. 'Robin, this is wrong!' a voice in the back of his mind shouted, but he ingored it.

Aqualad, and Beast Boy, walked through the front door laughing. Once the two boys had stopped laughing, they noticed there wasn't anybody else down there. Beast Boy even called out a 'hello' or two, and will still no respone they just turned to each other and shrugged. They pressed the elevator button to take them up to BB's room, he had 'Revenge of the Monkeys: Part 7', and it wasn't even in stores yet. He claimed it was just a perk of being a superhero.(He said this as he pulled on the edges of his jacket, gaining some more laughs from Aqualad.) They stepped onto the lift with Beast Boy explaining to his comrad all about it and the bonus levels.

Back to the couple in the hall, they had stopped swapping spit and Speedy found his way back to Star's neck. A small noise of pleasure left her mouth, he had found her spot.
"Not to hard." She said, her voice breathy. "You can't leave a mark, I don't want Robin to -"
She was cut off.
"You don't want Robin to what!" He demanded stepping from the shadows announcing his presence. The two jumped apart, though the damage had already been done. Neither spoke, neither looked at him.
"I want to know what the fuck is going on here!" He demanded, his voice raising.
"Rob, don't raise your voice." Speedy said, looking up and trying to calm his friend.
"It's Robin to you." He spat. "And I will raise my damned voice all I want to!"
He looked at Star, who was looking at the floor, bitting her lip, then to Speedy, who was looking right at him. Speedy then looked back at Star, and reached over to grab her hand.
"Don't you touch her!" He screeched.
Speedy listened, afraid to anger him anymore. This wasn't suppose to happen, not like this. Star was going to tell him it was over tomorrow night. His hand soon dropped back to his side, itching to reach out and comfort the woman he loved. Robin crossed his arms, and narrowed his eyes at Star, who still wouldn't look at him. Speedy forgotten for the moment.
"Look at me." He demanded.
She looked up, he saw her eyes, and for once he wasn't enchanted by them, but disgusted. He couldn't make out what emotions were running through her. It was all one gaint, green, swirling mess. Star still said nothing.
"How could this happened?" Robin asked in a quiet whisper, taking a few steps closer to her. "And you! You were suppose to be my friend! And you go around at put the moves on my girlfriend!" Robin was shouting again.
It was then Star reacted, she stepped in front of Speedy. "Don't you yell at him! It had nothing to do with him!"
"No Star, I was a part of this too." Speedy said trying to side step Star, but she wouldn't let him.
"I came onto him!" She pleaded. " I made the first move."
"You bitch!" Robin roared, and she bit down hard on her lip, trying to stop it from trembling, she wasn't going to cry.

Cyborg almost fell out of his chair when he heard a farmilar voice screaming. Standing up he went straight for the door, there was something wrong. The door swished open, and Cybrog stepped out of the room. Looking both ways he tried to figure out where the yelling was coming from. He didn't know what was going on, but he was going to find out.
About the same time Cybrog stepped into the hall the elevator doors opened, and BB and Aqualad almost walked right into the fight.

Robin ingored the ding of the elevator, but Star, and Speedy both looked at them for help. They also turned to the 'big brother' to save them. Neither of their friends did anything, not sure was was going on. Star looked about ready to cry, and Speedy looked determinded. His shoulders where set square, back straight, opposed to the woman besides him. Her shoulders sagged and she slouched.
"Hey don't call her that!" Speedy yelled back at Robin, finally stepping infront of Star.
"What! Want me to call her something else! Like slut or whore? 'Cuz I can assure you that I was going to use them later, but I'll use them now if you want." Star peered over Speedy's shoulder. She knew what those words meant, Raven explained them to her, not that long ago either. And no matter how hard she tried she couldn't hid her trembling lip. "That's right Star, I called you a bitch." He taunted.
"I. Told. You. Not. To. Call. Her. That!" Speedy roared and his hands squeezed into fists, Star watched in fright. 'Oh god what have I done?' She thought to herself.
"Would you prefer for me to call her my petnames for her? Or have you claimed them as your own as well?" Robin sneered. Speedy looked ready to attack, and almost did too, until something stopped him. Star placed her hand his back, it was a simple gesture, but it seemed to calm him down. He relaxed a bit, but still his fists were clenched. Finally, she stepped back infront of him, she needed to stop this, before they wripped each other to shreds.

The rest of the Titans watched in awe, unsure of what to do. From what they had collected, it seemed as though Star was sneaking around with Speedy and Robin caught them. Beast Boy and Aqualad had stepped out of the elevator, and were standing a few feet behind Robin, Cybrog was behind them frozen in his spot. The only thing they could see was the back of Robin, his back was pin straight and they could see his fists cletchng and uncletching, his knees were bent slightly and he was leaning to one side. One thing was for certian: He was ready to fight.

"Stop it! This is between me and you!" Star said her voice cracking with unshed tears as her emotions swelled within her.
"How long!"
"What?"
"How long have you been sneaking around my back?"
She paused for a moment, then muttered something.
"What was that?"
"Almost eight months."
Robin's face dropped, his heart did too. "How could you?.. we've only been dating for only fourteen months!"
No respone from Star, she just looked down unable too look at his face, even with the mask on she could see his pain. The young alien could feel it, it was making her skin crawl.
"Tell me this, was I atleast the one?"
She looked up. "What do you mean?" She asked quietly, afraid that he'd raise his voice again.
He rubbed his temples. "When we fucked, was I your first?" He was blunt, and got straight to the point, that was a big step for Robin, and he thought it was a big one for Star. It wasn't just a fuck to him, he made love to her that night, and every other time they had sex. He thought it meant something to her, but it seemed as though he was wrong.
She shook her head. That was it for Robin, he took a step back, then another almost knocking into Aqualad.
"Did you atleast love me?" His voice was soft, no longer smoking with anger but his voice was detached. His voice gave away all his feelings he was trying to hide behind his mask. He sounded vulnerable, and the last time his sounded like that was the night his parents died.
This time she nodded. " I did once."
"But why?" He asked in nothing past a whisper.
"Because.." Star said taking a few steps closer to him, Speedy didn't move. "You never loved me."
Robin, blinked, once, slience, twice, some more slience. "I loved you with all my heart, all my soul."
"You never showed it!" It was Star's time to shout.
"What do you mean?"
"Robin, we barely went on dates!"
"What are you talking about we went out all the time!"
"You always had to leave earlier, and Robin going to get pizza isn't a date." She crossed her arms over her chest.
"I have a duty to the city!"
"You had a duty to me, as your girlfriend."
"I thought you knew I loved you!"
"No, you never showed it. Never said it."
"Yes I did!" He shot back throwing his arms in the air.
"Oh yes, Robin, you did. ONCE!" She took a deep breath. "Speedy tells me he loves me all the time. He hugs me, holds my hands! Robin it's the little things, those sweet nothings that you read about in books."
"I did that, Star!" He pleaded.
"You might have loved me, but you didn't love me with the whole you."
It was Robin's turn to be confused. " I know everything about Speedy, his favorite color, his favorite food.." Robin went to say something, Star didn't let him. "No it was more then that, I knew his past. I know who he was, who he is!"
"But I have a secert identity."
"So did I." Speedy piped up finally, and took the few steps so he was standing next to Star. "But when you love some one," He took her hand, and looked at her "there is no secerts.Your safety doesn't matter, nothing else in the world matters. "
The anger was back in Robin's face, as he watched the two of them. His insides where becoming a mess, it was like he couldn't tell what was up or what was down, right from left, good from bad. Star looked back at Speedy, and he could see the love in her eyes. The love he once had, but lost.
"I'm sorry, it wasn't suppose to happen, shouldn't have happened like this. Robin, please, I still love you, but not in the same way anymore." She said turning back at him.
Star took another step forward, still cluthing Speedy's had as if it was a life line, the only thing giving her courage. He hated those hands, hated the way they seemed to fit together, perfect for another. Robin looked down at his hands opening them slowly, he saw four spats of blood on each hand. Once more he closed his hands, and looked back towards the couple.
Then it happened..
He charged.

Author's Note: I know, I know, this took forever! But some things happened, and I just couldn't get it done. I think this chapter is more or less crap, well some of it atleast. (But atleast it lived up to it's rating!) I know that most of this chapter's dialogue, and that the fighting was kinda lame. I hope I got my point across, I think I did. Sorry if the characters were OOC, I don't think they were but I could be wrong, so let me know what you thought about them.
I wasn't orignally going to end it there, but it seemed like a good spot to. (Also making this chapter shorter then I wanted.) Sorry 'bout the cliffy, but if you kill me you'll never know what happens! I lied before, there's a chapter or two left after this one! Review on your way out please.

I've ventured off from the "Who's the Boss?" episode plot-line-thing, and made it all my own. Except for the cake baking bit, but the episode is when it's Angela's birthday and everyone forgets. Tony comes home drunk, and so does Angela, and he finds out that it was her birthday. He insits to make her a cake, and they wind up making a mess and kissing.
Since You've Been Gone: Yes, Star has Speedy.
UnBeauSestLeve: Yeah, I love the whole BB and Aqualad thing. BB strikes me as someone who could pull off cross dressing.
