So, it looks like I'm going with the clone idea. I was already planning on going with it, but I wanted to make sure everyone else agreed with me.
This story takes place the day after Red X revealed his "secret". I decided that because I had already done a comedy and drama, romance is up next. (Plus, I just watched Stranded so now I'm warm and fuzzy with hopes of Starfire and Robin hooking up.How can you not watch that episode and not have it happen. Well, unless you're a Robin/Raven fan I guess you won't feel that.)
This is dedicated to my wonderful reviewers: loaned, Bunnysquirrel, and Forlorn Melody. Thanks for reviewing!
Disclaimer: If you think I own Teen Titans, I wish you were right.
"Robin, may I come in?" Starfire hesitantly asked, knocking on his door. After she didn't get a reply, she walked in the room. "Robin, are you all right?"
Robin was sitting at a loan table in a very, very dark room. Newspaper clippings and pictures of criminals and past crimes cluttered the walls. Robin was staring at a picture of Red X.
"Robin are you all right?"
He didn't answer. Starfire set down a sandwich.
"We know you have eaten all day. So Cyborg suggested we may you something. I was going to make you something, but Raven suggested we may you a sandwich. Cyborg said a non-tofu one." She knew she was babbling, but she had to try to get Robin out of his despair.
Robin still wasn't listening.
"Robin, please. Tell me what you're thinking. I'm your best friend. You can talk to me."
"Starfire, I have a clone," he finally whispered. "A clone!"
"Is having a clone that bad?" Starfire asked.
"You don't understand!"
"So tell me."
"A clone is someone who has the exact same DNA as me. We are made up of the same stuff," he answered, adding the stuff part at Starfire's questioning look. "He's me."
"You mean you think exactly alike?"
"No. No, of course not."
"Than how can he be you? If he doesn't think like you then you are different. Sure you may look like each other, but does that mean you are really the same?"
"I guess…I guess you're right Star," he said giving her a slight smile.
"Now, eat your sandwich. We have to make sure the tower is ready."
"Ready for what?"
"You don't remember? Speedy is staying with us for about a week to do 'Titan Talk' as you put it. You know review and stuff."
"How could I forget? What with Cyborg grumbling about why it couldn't have been Bee."
"Speedy! It's great to see you," Robin said about an hour later.
"Good to see you to," Speedy replied. "And the rest of the Titans."
"We've got your room all set," Cyborg said.
"That's great. I think I could use a nap."
Just as he said that, a doorbell-like sound went off.
"Now who could that be?" Cyborg asked.
He turned on a monitor that showed a girl who was wearing an outfit that resembled Starfire's. A silver hair band, showing off her bright green eyes, pulled her reddish hair back.
"Sunfire! What are you doing here?" Starfire exclaimed.
Just so you know, this is going to be nothing but mostly g-rated dating. There is also going to be no "I can't live without you" kind of conversations.
Happy Labor Day,
-Star-
