The next morning, Angel awoke still in Robin's arms. They had fallen asleep on her bed, with his arms around her and holding her close. She felt guilt consume her and she blushed. She said she didn't like him, but they had fallen asleep together. And she liked it. She didn't want to wake him, so she stayed in her spot and rested her head back onto the pillow; she knew that he had had a busy night searching for Slade. He was doing all this for her; this was the biggest present he could give her. This was more than chocolates and a teddy bear, or any tender kiss, he was protecting her life. And she was gracious. She turned to face him and touched his face, gently waking him. She hadn't meant to, but she was happy to be able to speak to him. "Good morning." She whispered.

"Morning." He replied and sat up. She did the same and they blushed at each other. "Uh…how did you sleep?"

"Okay." She replied and pulled some hair behind her ear. "You?"

"Pretty good." And there was silence. "We should probably get break fast." And they both left her room and walked out to the kitchen. Robin found a note on the table and picked it up. "The others are out looking for Slade, so it's just you and I." and Angel gulped. Alone again, and for God knows how long. What would happen this time? Hopefully nothing too absurd, and yet she almost liked the volatile state they were in. Robin walked over to the fridge. "What would you like?"

"I'm not hungry." She replied.

"You should eat for energy."

"I guess some cereal will be fine." She shrugged and sat down at the table. Robin set down two bowls of cereal and they began to eat. Angel's situation was still bothering her and she kept her eyes down. Robin did the same until they were finished. "So, uh, why aren't you leaving?" she asked as he placed the dished in the sink.

"I wanted to keep you some company." And they both smiled.

Robin went into the boy's bathroom and took a shower and Angel did the same in the girl's bathroom. Then they both came out and sat down to watch some TV. Robin must have wanted it to be a mellow day after all the excitement that had been built up from the days before. Angel was still uneasy and every corner she turned she half expected Slade to be there. She didn't want to be the cause of his victory, just the cause of his death. But watching TV with Robin calmed her down a bit, but was no use to putting her mind at rest. On TV there was a chick- flick that Angel claimed to like and they watched it. Robin didn't complain but had a bit to say about chick-flicks in general.

"They're all stupid." He said.

"No they're not! Some of them are really good." Angel retorted.

"They all suck." He said playfully.

"No!"

"In every chick-flick there's this scene between a guy and a girl where they're together alone and they start to kiss."

"Don't be mad because you don't like to kiss." Angel decided to stir up some trouble. It was later in the day than she expected and there hadn't been any fun at all.

"Hey, I never said that. I just said that it's always the same story line."

"Sometimes they're very romantic."

"Not often, and not only that but life is never planned out like that."

"You have a point." And they went quiet and continued to watch.

Angel sat and kept her eyes on the screen for some time, and she felt Robin moving around on the couch but didn't bother to look to see what he was doing. He must have been bored, but she was enjoying the moving. The movements from Robin got heavier, as if he was moving closer and she turned to look. To her surprise he was right in front of her now. Their noses were almost touching, and she didn't know what to say or do. But Robin knew what to do, because he leaned in a planted a small kiss on her lips and smiled. She kissed him back and it continued until they were lip locking for the rest of the movie. Angel had chills going up her spine and just allowed him to have his way. He was a good kisser, and she enjoyed the feeling of his tongue and his hand on her leg. Once the movie stopped, so did they. She pulled away and grinned at him. "You planned that." She said.

"I had to learn something from watching all those chick-flicks." He said and grinned. They chuckled together.

"Robin?"

"Yes Angel?" and she was about to say something she had wanted to say for a long time, but then their communicators went off. Robin picked up his, annoyed, and answered.

"Robin, we got trouble!" Cyborg said, "Slade's drones are everywhere! We need help keeping them off!"

"Right, be there in a flash." And Robin closed it and looked at Angel. "I have to go."

"I'm coming too."

"No, you need to stay here. Slade may be up to something and I don't want you to get hurt."

"How many times must I remind you…" she said and she stood up, "I'm a teen titan." Robin smiled and stood up next to her. Together they ran to the door, but they stopped when there was a loud banging sound from the roof. They looked up and then at each other. Without hesitation they ran up to the roof and opened the door…and there welcoming them was at least 50 drones, waiting to fight.

Robin and Angel went into action. Angel used her powers and Robin used Kung Fu. Angel sent them flying off the tower with gusts of wind, but somehow they climbed back up! She picked up some earth from the ground many feet below and shaped it into a ball. And she used it to knock them off, but still they returned! She looked at Robin who was struggling himself! "Robin, we can't get rid of them!" she yelled and one grabbed her! She jumped up and kicked it, knocking its head off and then did the same to another one close to her! She went to help Robin, but then she felt something latch onto her back. She turned around and saw a drone standing behind her. She went to attack it, but she was suddenly electrocuted! She screamed as sparks flew from her and she fell to the floor unconscious. A drone picked her up and jumped up into the air with the rest of them and landed on a jet. The jet took off with the drones… and Angel.

"ANGEL!" Robin called out as he watched them take her away! Slade would have his hands on her in only a couple of minutes.
