Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. But I do own all four comic action figure sets! Woohoo!
Last time: Robin suggested the team splitting up. Reactions occur in this chapter.
Currently:
"Dude," Beast Boy started frantically, "you cannot be serious!" He stumbled blindly to the couch, dropping his face into his hands dejectedly. His muffled voice came out in a wave of pain and no little rage: "You're destroying our team! I don't want to be alone… Not again." Raven floated over and, to the surprise of the other Titans, gently touched Gar on his shoulder.
"Gar," she hissed in a soft voice. When his emerald eyes locked with her own amethyst gaze, she reached a hand out, sweeping his hair back. "You will never be alone," she whispered.
Cy turned away from the obviously private moment, choosing to whistle nonchalantly instead. He glanced around for Robin and Starfire, but they were nowhere to be seen. Unnoticed to them, Star and Robin had left the room mere moments before to enter the hallway at Robin's request.
Once there, Robin slid to the ground in a gloomy manner before asking a very odd question. "Star?" He paused for a moment, waiting for Starfire to turn her attention to him. "Star, have you ever seen the colour of my eyes?"
Starfire slowly shook her head, clearly confused. "No, friend-Robin. You forbade us from ever encountering your visage by choice."
Robin paused again in an attempt at discerning exactly what she'd just said. "I know," he told her once he'd figured it out. "But… Here." He pulled off his mask, letting his cool blue gaze burrow into Starfire's shining eyes. Starfire put a hand to her mouth, first in shock, but then smothering a laugh.
Grayson narrowed his eyes in confusion. "What's so funny?" he challenged her.
"You have…" Starfire finally let a laugh escape. "I have heard that Earth-girls often pay to have their lashes permanently curled, and it makes me wonder if any of them have ever asked to buy yours."
Dick smiled half-heartedly as he realized what she was saying. "I know, Star. But no, no one has ever asked to buy my eyelashes. But that might be because you're the first person since Bruce to actually know that I have long lashes."
Starfire finally sobered. "I do not wish to call you Robin when you are without your mask. It does not seem to fit. But what should I call you, then?"
A slightly ironic smile touched at the corners of his mouth and he replied, "Call me Dick."
