Ch 5

Sparring

It had been a few weeks since Will's joining of the Teen Titans, and he was now feeling part of the team. There had been only one major battle in the time since he had joined, and it was against an extremely angry and mutated Plasmas. He had been such a trouble because every time Will cut him in half he would reform himself. Then with a combined effort between the entire team using their powers (except for Robin) they defeated him. All other entanglements had been minor.

Will was on his way to the gym to get some pressure out, when from inside he herd a beating noise. AS he got closer to the door he herd a grunting and an occasional curse, he recognized the voice as Robin's. from inside he clearly herd Robin say "Stupid Will." He cautiously moved closer to the door and then listened.

"Stupid Will." Robin said as he continued his assault on the punching bag. "Should have never let him join, he's getting in the way of my relationship with Starfire. I won't let him take her away from me." He said kicking the bag with as much force as he could muster and knocking it from its hanging place and falling to the floor. "Hey Robin, how's it going?" said Will walking in with a smile. "What is it?" Robin said coolly attempting to lift the bag high enough to re-attach it to the chain it hung from. "Let me help." said Will, he lifted his hand and the bag rose into the air high enough for Robin to attach it to the chain. "I know that you didn't come here to help me with this, so what do you want?" Robin snapped. "I thought that you could use a sparring partner." Will said ignoring Robin's impudence. "Not really, but for your case I'll make an exception."

They took up a sparing stance in the middle of the room, a few feet from each other. "No weapons." said Will, removing his lightsaber and using the Force to put it on a table in a corner. "No Powers." said Robin, removing weapons at random from his utility belt. Just as they started BB walked into the room, and seeing Will and Robin fighting, ran back to the living room. "Guys! Guys! Robin and Will are fighting!" he said "I think we should intervene before they kill each other." "I agree." said Raven as they hurried out of the room.

Robin threw a fierce barrage of punches at Will but none made contact. "Come on Robin, I expected better." Will taunted as he blocked three more of Robin's punches. Angered by Will's words, Robin threw a hard right hook at Will's face, but he caught Robin's hand in his left. "Wrong move." Will said then he punched Robin square in the face. Seeing stars, Robin stumbled back a few feet before regaining his senses just in time to see Will's foot flying towards him.

He dodged the attack and slammed his elbow into Will's stomach nearly knocking the wind out of him. Robin punched Will four times in the face before executing his famous double back-flip kick, hitting Will under the chin and knocking him of his feet. Will stood up blood now oozing steadily from the laceration.

With incredible speed Will hit Robin in the face, then again hard in the stomach. Robin touched his face blood now dripping from his nose and from above his eyebrow.

"What is your problem?" Will said panting slightly. "I want you to stay away from Starfire." said Robin also slightly panting. "Starfire?" said Will, "I have no interest in Starfire! You can have her for all I care!" "Are you saying that she is no good for you?" Robin said positively infuriated at the way Will was talking about Star. "No, I had figured a while ago that she was your girl, besides, she is not my type."

Robin then spit out some blood and then lunged at Will throwing a punch, hard at his face. But Will blocked it with his forearm. Robin's hand felt like it had hit a brick wall. He then jumped up and kicked Will with both legs knocking to the ground. Then from the back of his belt he drew an extendo staff and struck down with it.

Will saw Robin's hand go to his belt, and as he did he called out to the Force. His lightsaber flew across the room into his hand. Will ignited it and slashed up once and then down once.

The rest of the Titans entered the room to a scary scene: Robin holding a broken extendo staff, the ends melted off at both ends an inch away from Robin's hand; and Will standing in an attack stance with his lightsaber ignited. Both freely bleeding.

"Robin what is going on?" Star said walking up to him and trying to stop the blood oozing from his nose. "Don't worry Miss Starfire, it was just a bit fun." said Will smiling at her. "Feh." Said Robin and then he left the room. "Robin wait!" said Starfire running out of the room after him.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." said Will waving off the offers of assistance from the leftover Titans. "Watch." Will put his hand to his chin and the wound healed, leaving a small scar. "So, who's hungry?"

"Robin stop!" Starfire said as she ran after Robin "I don't want to talk about it." He said stopping and looking at her "I don't like him." said Robin taking her hand in his. "I don't understand." Starfire said moving closer to him. "Star…" Robin said looking into the emerald orbs that were her eyes. "I love you." he said before kissing her.

Starfire's head was spinning, and her heart was racing 'He loves me' she thought closing her eyes and kissing him back. After what felt like an eternity they broke apart. "Robin, I love you too." she said hugging him. Robin smiled and they then walked down the hall, hand in hand.
