Robin had a list of Starfire's powers in his hand.
"Okay now which ones can you do?" Robin asked trying to find a way to make his plan work. Starfire scooted her chair closer to him and leant over.
"I can control invisibility" She looked back up, noticing that he had stopped fidgeting
"But invisibility isn't even written there…so that means you haven't told Slade" And suddenly it hit him "You…don't trust Slade…do you?" The question was more of a statement but Starfire answered it none the less. She bit her lip and nodded.
"What other powers have you got?" Robin asked choosing his words carefully
"Telepathy and telekinesis" Starfire answered timidly. Robin grinned.
"Can you make anyone else invisible?" He asked
"Yes but-" Suddenly she remembered something, her eyes darted around as if searching for someone. Robin noticed it
"Who are you looking for?" He asked
"The titans…could you show them to me" Robin nodded and pointed behind her. Starfire swirled around to find Raven's gaze steady on her face. They locked eyes for a moment and Raven felt confused and tangled emotions inside her friend. Starfire diverted her eyes to the other two teens, one green and the other one half robot. The last two seemed to be trying to avoid her eyes or it could be that they were really interested in the tiny cracks above the ceiling. She grinned, somehow they seemed…familiar. She turned back to Robin and asked
"How do you know them?" Robin gulped and tried to think of an exceptional excuse.
"I-ah-…every mentor must know their enemies names" He tried but when Starfire looked at him sceptically he knew he'd failed.
"Okay, okay I'll tell you when we go back" He said stalling for time. Starfire nodded.
"But how do we get the ring off that fat man. I don't think it can come off" Robin grinned
"That's where your powers come in. Could you concentrate reallllll" Robin groaned and looked past her. Red X and Kitten? What the hell were they doing here? Starfire seemed to know red X because her hand flew up to the menu book and she covered herself with it. Robin crawled under the table and pulled her down too.
"Who are you hiding from?" Robin asked
"Red X" She whispered back
"Why?" Robin asked her feeling a pang of jealousy.
"He is Sooo annoying. Too annoying" She said. Suddenly they heard ruffling and the scraping of chairs. Robin groaned, out of all those tables they just had to sit at this one. Starfire was one step ahead of him though; she pushed him out of the table and the next thing he knew they were walking around the palace without anyone noticing them. Then it hit him, Starfire was making them invisible. They walked down to the refreshment table and Starfire let go of him.
"Thank god we're away from them" Robin said while handing Starfire a drink
"Have you ever heard of anyone getting drunk on punch?" Starfire asked as she took the drink. Robin grinned and shook his head
"You can't get drunk on punch" He said but Starfire didn't believe him
"Yes you can"
"No you can't"
"Yes you can"
"No you can't"
"Wanna bet?" She asked, Robin could never resist a challenge
"You're on"
After 21 glasses of punch they were heavily drunk
"You owe me £100. Coz I won the hic bet" Starfire said colliding into the man sitting on the nearest table. Something fell into her coat pocket but she didn't care.
"You cheated! You put something in the punch I know IT!" Robin said stamping his foot like a two year old.
"No I NEVER! YOU JUST DON'T WANA GIVE ME HIC THE MONEY! I'M TELLING SLADE OF YOU!" Starfire screamed
Two security guards came and grabbed them and threw them out.
"HEY YOU CAN'T THROW ME OUT I AM WAYNE'S FOSTER SON! YOU HEAR ME" Robin fumed
"YEAH I AM SOOO NOT GONNA BE THROWN OUT BECAUSE SOME FOOL DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP!" Starfire shouted
"ME A FOOL! YOU ARE A CHEATER. WANT ME TO SPELL THAT FOR YOU HIC C-H-E-A-T-ER!" Two of Slades security guards came and took them to their car and drove them off to Slades lair.
Slade looked furious with them. Starfire whimpered and Robin put a hand around her shoulder.
"Don't cry, Slade can't do noting to ya" Robin hiccupped. They looked like small kids, one of them trying to comfort the other.
"WHAT IS THIS?" Slade bellowed. Robin whimpered along with Starfire. Slade pointed to the two of them arguing in the ball
"It hic was just a game" Robin said, Starfire nodded vigorously.
"Did you get the ring" Slade asked in a deathly voice. Robin was about to shake his head but Starfire nodded
"Here ya hic go" Starfire said. Slade twitched obliviously he wanted another reason to shout at them again but he just calmly said
"Go to your room" Both teens stumbled into their room
"Sorry" They both mumbled to each other just before collapsing on the bed.
