Recap:
"What are we going to do?" Cyborg asked, "He's too strong we can't beat him" he said looking down. "I hate to say it, but he got us bad"
"Cyborg's right" Raven said, "we could get ourselves killed" she added.
"I don't care how strong he is, no body's getting killed" Robin spat.
"Robin?" Starfire asked concerned. Robin's masked eyes softened.
"I'm alright Star" he said and brushed a hand to her cheek. "Does anyone have any idea how we can beat him?" he asked his group, his face pleading with them. No one spoke up. "Damn it, if only we were stronger" he growled. Starfire cast her eyes down.
"Robin, I believe I may be able to help with that" she said her eyes still cast down.
"What, how?" Robin asked, everyone else looked at her genuinely curious. She looked around the room and looked everyone in the eye. She sighed and reached into her long purple boot and retrieved a small white package
"I saved some…just incase" she said, a tear rolled down her cheek. The other Titans gasped. Robin tilted Starfire's chin up and made her look at him. He then looked at all of the other titans.
"Starfire's right…It's the only way…"
The titans all looked at each other and frowned, it was apparent in everyone's eyes that they did not want to do this.
"You said that when you were on the drugs Slade could control you" Raven said skeptically. "How do we know he won't do it now?"
"Shit, I forgot about that" Robin said as he slammed his head backwards onto the springy mattress, his head bounced a few times. "Were going to have to take a risk" he sighed, "we aren't strong enough" his mask closed to a slit, signifying he had closed his eyes. Starfire took his hand in her own and started to stroke it lovingly, he returned the motion, a grim smile on his face. What if this is the last time I get to hold Starfire? Robin thought to himself desperately. He knew that it could be true, as much as he didn't want to accept the truth, reality hit him. He was going to try his very best to protect her and bring down his father, but if in the end he had to choose, he didn't know which one to pick. He was brought out of his thoughts when Starfire gave his hand an extra hard squeeze. Robin shook his head snapped back to the problem at hand. "We need another attack plan" he said, "It need's to be good, strong and we need to be able to support each other. Failure is not an option this time" he growled gruffly. Robin dropped Starfire's hand and stood up.
"Why don't we just make our own?" Cyborg asked quietly.
"Believe me; we would if there were time. The only one we can take is the one Starfire saved" Robin answered very shortly and quickly.
The other titans looked at each other, when Robin was in a state of 'obsession' there was no stopping him, and he just happened to be in that state, just as he had been for the past three years. All they could do was nod and agree to help their leader. Each of them stood up shakily, following the leaders actions.
"I'll pull up fight sequences from the internet, I know it sounds corny, but there has to one that will work, or at least small bits and pieces" Cyborg said, as he entered a pin into his electronic arm, information began to scroll, and the half robot began to read, pages would sometimes print from a thin slit in his chest.
"I'm going to keep looking into the meth" Raven said as she began to meditate, her feet left the floor and folded, a book levitated through the half open window, the jewel at the center of the goths forehead glowed black as the continuation of energy engulfed the book, the large deep violet eyes closed.
"Raven" Robin said softly, Raven's eye opened to peek at her leader. "Try to find a loophole" he said gently. She nodded and continued on with her work.
This left Robin, Starfire and Beast Boy. Beast Boy went to the bathroom, he still wasn't feeling completely recovered from the fight. And anyways, what could he help with; he always screwed something up in the end. This left Robin and Starfire who looked at each other.
"Robin, may we please take the walk? There is something I wish to converse with you" Starfire said, her sweet voice hinted with sadness. Robin nodded and grabbed her hand; he led her outside to the pool.
"Robin…" Starfire started but was cut off by her boyfriend, her green eyes started to water; he could tell she was holding back tears.
"Starfire, look, I wanted to talk to you to, and I think that I need to go first." She nodded telling him to continue. "Star, no matter what happens out there, when we fight Slade, I just want you to know that I really care about you, and if anything happens out there to involve you, then I swea- "Starfire put her hand up, the crystal tears were leaking down her face.
"No Robin, this has been something you have been looking forward to for years now, you stayed up countless nights trying to discover Slade's plans, you have been so dedicated to this defeat, do not let me stand in the say of your victory" she said. Robin cocked his head shocked.
"What? Starfire, your not in the way at all, I'm glad that you're here" he said as he wrapped his strong arms around her and pulled her close to him. "I know I wouldn't be able to get through this if you weren't here with me now" he whispered into her ear. She smiled into his chest and inhaled his musky sent. Robin pried her off of him and wiped away the tears that stained her cheeks. "I love you" he said looking her directly in the eyes from behind his mask. Starfire beamed back at him, showing off all of her white teeth.
"And I you, Robin" he cupped his hands over he cheeks; her hand's placed on top of them. Minutes later they broke away. "Shall we try to locate Slade?" Starfire asked Robin. He nodded, the couple walked away hand in hand in search for a private place to do some research.
Robin pulled out his communicator and accessed the internet; he ran a search on his father while Starfire flew to the nearest library to get all the latest papers on the attacks Slade had initiated. They met two hours later.
"Any luck?" Robin asked the Tameranian. Starfire shook her red head.
"None friend Robin" she answered solemnly. Her emerald orbs turned away to look over at the sunset.
"Damn it" Robin shouted slamming his fist into his open palm. "All of our information and leads are back at the tower" He seethed. Starfire lifted an eyebrow and smirked lightly.
"Robin, I believe it is possible to access the Titans computer from our communicators." She said lightly. Robin looked up at her face and beamed.
"STARFIRE YOUR BRILLIANT!" he shouted as he shot up and kissed her on the lips. Starfire giggled and allowed him to take over her mouth. The two only broke the kiss for much needed air. "Alright" Robin said as he entered an encryption code into the password box.
"ACCESS DENIED ACCESS DENIED ACCESS DENIED ACCESS DENIED" the communicator beeped over and over again in a computerized voice. Slade's monogram popped up on the screen.
"Damn it, that FUCKING BASTARD" Robin roared, his teeth were ground together, so tightly Starfire was scared that they were going to shatter. She winced at the look of anger on Robin's face.
How was Slade able to change the codes? Starfire thought to herself The only way it is possible to do that is to do it by friend Cyborg's computer inside his room…Unless "Oh" Starfire shrieked, "Unless he's inside the tower!" Robin looked towards her, the look of anger starting to disappear very quickly. His eyes widened, without hesitation he grabbed Starfire's arm and rushed back to the hotel room.
Raven was just finishing up her crash course on Crystal Meth; she smirked as she read the last page. The door to the room flew open, Robin was panting and hunched over, Starfire's arm locked in his hand, her face was shocked. Cyborg also looked up from his notes that he had been taking, a questioning look on his face.
"Titan's, Starfire found Slade's location" Robin shouted excitedly. Raven allowed herself to float back down to the floor, her feet lightly touching the sandy carpet. She smirked. Cyborg walked up behind Raven.
"Good, because I have a fighting sequence" he said, a broad smile plastered on his face. Raven stepped backwards and smirked wider.
"And I found a loophole" she said monotonously
Robin smiled brightly "TITANS GO" he yelled.
