A/N: Tee hee! I' posting this chapter just like I promised! I love this chapter! It is just so…awesome! There's an extra fluffy part coming.
And I just realized! All the ideas I have for this storie won't fit into one storie! So this is going to be part one of a trilogy I think. YAY!
Did anyone notice I changed the summary of this storie? Here's why:
Well I realized that this storie is not only about Robin being addicted to Xynothium as you will find out maybe this chapter and definitely next chapter. And also because of the trilogy thing. Yet, I'm not exactly sure if it's going to be a trilogy.
And I haven't mentioned before, "storie" is my way of spelling "story". I'm only saying that because someone noticed that I spelled "story" wrong so I just wanted to make sure y'all knew.

Robin looked down on him with disgust. "It wasn't that funny." He started running again, leaving the poor laughing soul behind.
But then it hit him.
Where the fawk was Starfire?

Chapter 6: No Longer
Robin quickly took out his communicator and tried to reach Starfire. No one answered. So he followed the signal of her communicator. As he ran by Red X, who happened to still be laughing, he kicked him in the side making him fall over, groaning instead of laughing.
Robin kept running down the hallways, hoping that she was okay. A couple times he made a wrong turn but got back on track quickly. This reminded him of the time Beast Boy turned into a beast and they were trying to safe Raven from him.
Robin finally reached the area Starfire was supposed to be around. The beeping from Robin's communicator was becoming louder and faster. He checked to make sure he was in the correct area and then looked around. There was no Starfire in sight. He turned the communicator off and then on to see if something was wrong. Back on the locator screen, it still showed Starfire was directly in front of him.
'What the fawk!' Robin screamed in his head.
Robin looked around again and still could find no one. He finally spotted a yellow, round shaped object.
"Are you shitting me!" Robin yelled as he picked up Starfire's communicator. He grunted and put her communicator in his pocket.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
" Oh, how do I open this!" Starfire asked as she pulled on the handle of an extra large safe. She had tried kicking it, punching it, throwing starbolts at it, chanting "Azarath Metrion Zinthos", using her alien strength, biting it, and spitting on it, but nothing would make the safe to a large ore of Xynothium open.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Earlier, Starfire had to come consciousness. She was pretty freaked out though because she excepted her over-protective-and-beloved-Robin to be looming over, asking over and over again if she were all right. Unknown to her, as she stood up to go look for Robin, her communicator fell out.
She headed down the hallway until she reached the stairs. She remembered how Robin told her that the laboratory was the lowest floor below the earth and headed down the stairs. She decided to fly down just in case there was touch-sensitive bombs in the steps.
When the steps ended, Starfire walked up to a heavy metal door sporting and sign that read:
DANGER!
HIGHLY PROTECTED HALLWAY
Next to the door was a large and complicated computer. On the computer screen it flashed:
Please enter password.
Clicking on the box below using the mouse she started to type extra slowly her name. She pressed the submit button. A couple seconds later, another screen popped up with big letters flashing white and red saying "ACCESS DENIED". The screen then turned back to the "Please enter a password." screen and Starfire then typed in Robin's name. The access was denied again. Once again, Starfire typed a new password. She used "thisisapasswordtoopenthedoortotheleft". And to her left, Starfire heard the door click open.
She rushed over to the door and ran through. She remembered how Robin said one password disables all the bombs and traps, and ran directly over the floor. She quickly came up to a large hole in the floor. She saw it but couldn't stop in time. So she went tumbling down the long tunnel. Remembering she could fly, she floated down to the floor safely.
In front of her, Starfire spotted a normal looking door. She walked closer and read the sign of the door. It said:
FRANCIS
WHITZSKINSHINNINNININGHEIMER-
FURBLEHOWDYDOODAHPOOPY
MEMORIAL LABORATORY
Starfire wondered who this Francis guy was but came up with nothing. She turned the knob and entered the room. It was dark so she switched on a light switch she found easily. She looked around. It looked like a normal old laboratory like the ones she'd seen on TV. To the left was a storage cabinet reaching the ceiling with many labels on it. There were many black-topped tables located randomly around the room. On top of the tables were many cylinders and cups filled with colorful liquids. There were Bunsen burners below graduated cylinders filled with settled water. On one table there was a weird looking fish inside a glass tank.
At the other side of the room, Starfire saw another large and heavy door, the door to a safe. And that is where Starfire is now.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Starfire was pretty sure that Robin was supposed to be in the room already, so she called for him. She got no answer.
" Oh Robin, where are you!"
Starfire thought for a moment and reached her hand to her belt where her communicator is supposed to be.
" Many roamfarks!" Starfire yelled in half English, half Tamaranean.
She started searching the floor of the lab but found nothing.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Red X stood up. His side where Robin had kicked him "hurt like the dickens." He called Robin a couple foul words and walked off in search of him. He needed Robin. Not in a gay way (!) but the Boy Wonder was his carnival ticket to the much needed Xynothium.
'What does Robin need with Xynothium anyway?' X thought to himself. He waved the thought off and kept on moving.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
" Where did she go!" Robin yelled. He stopped to think about it and started talking to himself like lunatics do. "Okay…think of the possibilities…" Robin put his index finger to his chin. "She could have left this place altogether…or she could of gone in search for me and fell into a trap or something." He paused for a moment. "OR…she headed to the Xynothium ore because she thought I was there…I think I'll go with that latter!"
Robin quickly pulled out his communicator. It showed that it was 5:40 AM leaving him one hour and twenty minutes to get back to the tower. So he raced to the stairs. Instead of walking down the stairs, he jumped onto the railing and slid down it as if he were grinding on an invisible skateboard. When the railing stopped at each floor on a landing, he lumped from railing to railing. He was having a lot of fun. He forgot all of his troubles as he hooted and hollered… Well until he landed flat on his face with an "OOF!"
Robin rubbed his nose and stood up. He looked around and realized he was on the bottom floor. He walked up to the labeled door and realized it was unlocked. He went through and ran down the hallway to the laboratory door. He stopped and reached for the handle.
"Hey kid!"
Robin spun around and found Red X walking toward him. "What do you want!"
Red X didn't speak until he was close to Robin. "Be a good boy and let me go through first." He lightly pushed Robin out of the way.
"Don't-touch-me," Robin spat at X.
"And what are you going to do about it?"
Robin stepped back and pulled out a Bo staff. He extended it and got into a fighting position.
"Oh so it's a fight you want, kid? I can provide that." Red X pulled out X boomerangs that fitted in between each finger. ((A/N: Sorry. I don't know what they're called… Anybody wanna tell me!))
Robin charged at Red X but he moved to the side making Robin stumble a little bit. He threw the X-shaped boomerangs at Robin's back but Robin quickly spun around and deflected them with his Bo staff. Robin charged at Red X again and hit him in the chest. X stumbled backwards as Robin swung at his feet. Red X pressed the transporting button on his belt and disappeared. Robin stared confused. Red X appeared behind Robin a little ways and threw an expanding X at Robin's back, locking his arms to his sides. Robin fell to the ground. He let go of the Bo staff and pulled out a Bird-A-Rang and a freeze disk. He threw the disk at Red X, freezing him for a moment. Robin took the time advantage and chopped through his tourniquet using the Bird-A-Rang. Red X burst through the ice just as Robin picked up his Bo staff and stood up.
"Kid, you're wasting my time. Just go away and have fun with your little Starfire. I've got better things to do." Red X headed toward the door but Robin stuck out his Bo staff, blocking the path.
"This isn't over yet, Little Red Riding X." Robin said smiling.
Red X sighed and lazily threw a sticky X at Robin's face. Robin tried to avoid the X but it hit him exactly where it was meant to hit. He dropped the Bo staff in an attempt to pull the sticky red substance off. Red X chuckled and walked in to the laboratory.
Robin dug at the sticky stuff but it would not come off. He would have to take his mask off. Of course he didn't want to but he had to if he wanted to make sure Red X didn't get the Xynothium. So he pulled off his black and white mask. Its hurt his eyes a little to see the direct light. From the clear areas around his eyes, Robin finally pulled the gooey crap off. He looked down at his mask. It was ruined.
Robin quickly forgot about his own needs and remembered Red X.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
All while Robin and Red X fought, Starfire sat boredly at one of the lab desk. She was randomly mixing different chemicals together to see all of the pretty colors they came up with. Once she came up with a clear mist that sparkled brighter than diamonds. Another time she swore that in another mist she saw Darth Vader's face. (Robin just brought her to see Star Wars Episode 3 the day came out using the superhero advantage. Robin found it quite a bad movie since Starfire kept telling everyone how cute Anakin was.)
Then suddenly Red X walked in. It scared the freakin' hell out of her. She screamed and threw a starbolt at Red X, knocking him out.
Robin heard Starfire's scream and rushed in only to find Red X laying by his feet. He looked up and caught Starfire's green eyes. Starfire gasped seeing Robin's eyes unmasked but then Robin ran over and pulled her into a strong hug.
" Holy freakin' hell Starfire! I was so scared something bad happened to you!"
" Robin…you have blue eyes…"
" I thought you went looking for me and got trapped or something!"
" They are a marvelous blue…"
" You have to keep your communicator with you at all times!"
" Why do you always wear a mask when you have beautiful eyes?"
" I tried contacting you but you didn't have your communicator so—"
Starfire moved out of Robin's hug to look at his eyes again. "Robin… Your eyes…"
Robin put his hands to his face. "Yeah, I had to take my mask off because Red X threw this red stuff at me. You know, the gooey sticky stuff? Like the stuff that got stuck in Beas— "
Starfire interrupted him by pressing her lips against his, giving him a quick but sweet peck. "I love your eyes," she said and walked over to the safe she had been trying to open, blushing like crazy.
Robin stood there, dazed. "Umm…thanks…?" He put his hand to his lips and tried to relive that kiss, the way her lips felt and how they were so soft. Once he started feeling dorky, he walked over to where Starfire was. "Lemme try to open this."
When Starfire saw Robin she wouldn't look at his face. She still couldn't believe she did that. She moved out of the way and Robin threw a couple powerful kicks at the center of the door. Nothing happened.
" We could try to combine forces?" Starfire suggested very shyly, still looking at the floor and not at Robin.
" Yeah. Good idea. Maybe if I threw an explosive disk into one of your powerful starbolts we can blast a hole through."
Starfire just nodded, still staring at the ground.
Robin noticed she wouldn't look at him and became concerned. "Starfire?" He cupped her chin in his index finger and thumb and lifted her chin. "What's wrong? Why won't you look at me?"
Starfire just stared into his eyes and Robin stared into hers. Green into blue. Blue into green. Starfire could see Robin searching her face with his eyes for any sign of any feeling. She couldn't hold it in and let tears flow down her face. Robin let go of her chin and she wiped away her tears.
" Robin, I am sorry," Starfire sobbed. "I just lost myself. It was like I was under a spell from your eyes. They are just so blue and…I lost myself…" She started heavily crying.
Robin brought her into a hug and he rubbed her back. Starfire cried into his shoulder.
" Starfire, what are you talking about?" Robin asked soothingly.
Starfire jumped back and Robin saw that her eyes were becoming red and puffy. "The kiss, Robin! The kiss!"
Robin smiled. "Oh is that all?"
" What do you mean 'Is that all'! Robin, I kissed you!"
" I know."
" That was an complete and utter violation of…of everything! I should not have done that! You should be mad and…and…Robin why?"
" Why what?"
" Why are you not mad at me?" Starfire said softly.
" Starfire, I'm not mad because…because I kinda liked it."
Starfire's eyes widened and became sparkly again.
" No, scratch that. I loved it! I L-O-V-E loved it!" Robin announced to the world.
Starfire's eyes sparkled even more and she ran over to hug him. "Does that mean you…?"
" I…love you?"
" Yes," Starfire said, timidly.
" Well then." Robin whispered in her ear, "Yes. I love you. And I have since forever."
Starfire jumped up and down, startling Robin. "Me too! Me too! I love you too!" Starfire suddenly stopped. "What do we do now?" She started smiling like crazy. "Are betrothed and now we are to perform the marriage ceremony!"
Robin smiled back at her. "No. It's too early for that." Robin saw Starfire's enthusiasm droop a little. "But I hope this is good for right now." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her toward him. He leaned down ((A/N: Since he grew taller. Duh.)) and took her lips into a passionate kiss. Starfire wrapped her arms around his neck and Robin twirled locks of her hair around his finger. They were enjoying each other's taste and smell. Starfire allowed Robin tongue to enter her mouth and he explored every inch. They were in heaven. ((A/N: Gosh. I'm not good with this stuff! I suck!)) A couple minutes later, Starfire pulled back.
" What did you do that for? I was just getting to the good part!" Robin teased.
" We have more important things to do," Starfire said pointing to the door of the safe.
" What's more important then having you in my arms?" Robin pulled Starfire closer.
" Robin." Starfire pushed back a little. "Please. You know I would like to do that more then anything, but we have a limited amount of time. We need to obtain the Xynothium and travel back to the tower."
Robin huffed and let go of Starfire. "Fine. But I want a rain-check." You might think Starfire would ask what a rain-check is but you're wrong. Robin explained it a long time ago. "Are we still on for my idea?"
Starfire nodded. Robin headed to the front of the laboratory, directly across from the safe. He motioned for Starfire to follow.
" Okay. Aim for the center of the door," Robin instructed. "Go ahead and charge up a powerful starbolt. Shoot when I say 'Go.'"
Starfire closed her eyes. She brought both of her fists together out in front of her. The green energy surrounded her fists. As she charged up, Robin pulled out a special electric disk. It packed three times the punch then the normal disks he uses. He took out an extra mask he suddenly found and put it on. He looked over to Starfire to see if she was ready. Her starbolt was at least a meter long in height.
" Are you ready, Starfire?" Robin asked.
Starfire opened her eyes. They were glazed over into the bright green they become when she fights. "Yes," she breathed.
" Okay…" Robin set himself into a throwing position. The readied the disk to be thrown into the starbolt. "GO!"
Starfire threw the starbolt forward with a "YA!". Robin threw the disk into the starbolt. Everything happened in slow motion. Once the disk entered its fiery ball it exploded just inside the starbolt. Electric blue waves flowed through out the whole sphere. Starfire thought it was like her eyes and Robin's eyes mixed all together. The ball grew as it reached the door. Upon impact, there was a huge explosion. It set off alarms. The whole door was blown to pieces as did the surrounding wall.
Robin and Starfire looked at each other, both amazed at how much damage they did. The alarms grew louder and louder.
" Starfire we have to hurry! Grab as many cases as you can! Don't wait for me! Just leave! Meet me out in the woods were my bike is!" Robin yelled over the alarms.
Robin ran into the big wall of smoke. He breathed in smoke and started coughing. He finally found a pile of cases filled with a couple Xynothium tubes each. He picked up three by the handles with his left hand leaving his right hand free to fight if he needed to.
" Starfire! Are you alright!" Robin yelled.
" Yes! I have taken two cases per hand. If we need to fight, I will use my eye lasers!" Starfire yelled back from somewhere around Robin's right.
" Okay! Good! I know there's a hole in the ceiling! Find it and get out!"
" How will you reach the ceiling!"
" Grappling hook!"
" Okay!"
Robin pointed his grappling hook to the ceiling and shot up.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
" They're in here! I heard them speaking!" A couple police officers had been called to the college.
" Should we call the Teen Titans!" another officer with a strong southern accent called.
" No! We're good without the teen freaks!"
They pulled out flashlights and walked into the smoke. They searched and found a body on the ground.
" Who is this! Is this one of them Titans!" the southern officer asked.
" No, Lee. This is one of their enemies."
" Well who is he?"
" Red X I think his name was."
" Well is he okay?"
Officer Lincoln, the other officer out of the two, felt for a pulse on Red X's wrist and neck. "There's no pulse. He must have suffocated from the smoke."
" How long has he been out?" Officer Lee asked.
The smoke started to clear and it was actually clear enough to see things.
Lincoln slowly pulled off X's mask. "Judging from the paleness of his skin," Lincoln pressed a hand to Red X's face. "and the low body heat, I'd say about an hour."
" Did he cause this explosion?"
" No, stupid! I just said he's been dead or unconscious for an hour! The explosion was just ten minutes ago! I swear you Virginia people have got to be as dimwitted as cow piles! "
Lee shuddered a little. "Well, Illinois people aren't that great either!"
Lincoln just shook his head. "I'll call an ambulance and you can go look for anyone else around here."
" Fine!" Lee stood up and walked off. Just as Lincoln finished his phone call Lee yelled out. "Hey come here! I found two more bodies!"
Lincoln immediately got up and rushed over to Lee. In front of them was two teenagers, a boy and girl. The girl had bright red hair and the boy had pitch black spiky hair and a mask. Lincoln bent down and felt their pulses. "They're okay, just knocked out."
Lee heard sirens outside meaning the ambulances had arrived. "The ambulances are here! Let's go out and help them get in!"
" Alright."
Officer Abe Lincoln and Officer Robert E. Lee, friends yet loyal to their own people, headed out of the building. Lee spoke only one thing to Lincoln the entire trip out:
" Hey, you know I'm carved on the back on your head?"
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Robin suddenly woke up. He sat up and looked around. His head hurt immensely. He couldn't remember what happened but then memories flooded back to him. He looked to his left and saw Starfire. He crawled over to her and shook her. She woke up quickly.
" Robin? What happened?" Starfire said painfully.
" Well…umm…I told you to head up through a hole in the ceiling and out of the building but…I guess there was no hole." Robin smiled timidly. "Hee hee?"
" I do not understand."
" Well we both flew up to the ceiling pretty fast. Since there wasn't a hole our heads hit the ceiling really hard and we were knocked out."
" Oh…That must be the reason why my head hurts."
Robin chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Yeah."
Outside of the room, they heard voices. "They're in here!"
Robin jumped up. "Starfire! Come on we have to go!" He frantically grabbed any tubes of Xynothium he could find and stuffed them in belt pockets. "Help me!"
Starfire got up and helped stuff a couple into his pockets.
The door swung open. "There they are! They're awake! And look! They're stealing Xynothuim!"
One of the officers smacked the officer that spoke over the head. "We can see that, Lee, you moron!"
" You know they look like Robin and Starfire from the Teen Titans," anEMT announced. Robin and Starfire dropped the Xynothium they happened to be holding and stared at the men in the doorway with wide eyes.
The officer called Lee tilted his head. "You know what? You're right!"
All of a sudden a news crew pushed the men in the doorway to the side and started making a news report.
" This is Dee Odorant reporting to you with special news," an Asian woman wearing a tight yellow suit jacket with a skit said into a microphone. "I am inside JCPI where a recent robbery has taken place. Actually it's still taking place!" Dee hurried over to the frozen Robin and Starfire. "And guess who the robbers are! Our very own leader of famous Teen Titans, Robin, and his girlfriend, Starfire!"
" How did you know she's my girlfriend?" Robin asked, amazed.
" We know everything, sweetie. Now tell us. Why have you decided to go against the rest of your team and do such a horrible thing as to steal the very stuff you protect?"
" We aren't Titans anymore," Robin said into the microphone Dee held in his face.

A/N: So do you see a plot starting up?
Okay there was so much hidden stuff in this chapter its overwhelming! I'll tell you them all though:
Well do you remember Officer Abe Lincoln and Officer Robert E. Lee? And do you remember this line: Officer Abe Lincoln and Officer Robert E. Lee, friends yet loyal to their own people,…
Well do you get that? Well it all has to do with the Civil War. Robert E. Lee is a real person and so isn't Abe Lincoln (well you probably already figured that out). Lee was Lincoln's really good friend from Virginia. When the Civil War started, Lincoln asked Lee to lead the Union army, but he refused. He said he could not fight against his home. So he lead the Confederate army. Get it? "…friends yet loyal to their own people"?
And the part where Lee was like "I'm carved on the back of your head!" Well you know how I just came back from Washington, DC? Well we went to the Lincoln memorial and on the back of Lincoln's head Lee's face is carved! Well its hard to see because Lincoln's hair forms his face some how. There's also other people's faces too. I dunno know who they are but they're there. Do a web search or something.
And 'Dee Odorant', you HAD to have got that! Her name is deodorant! I just fussed with it you know! Funny right! You're all like "Hehehe—no." Well her name's like Seymour Butts! Get it! See-more-butts. Yeah, that's right.
Well next chapter is going show how the other Titans found out about this and what they think and stuff. And what happened to Robin and Star.
Later days! Until next chapter,
