Robin woke up with an aching headache. He turned around to see where Starfire was and winced. She was glaring at him from the other bed.
"I TOLD YOU PEOPLE COULD GET DRUNK ON PUNCH" Starfire growled, trying to get up.
"Oh god" She moaned and fell back on the bed
"It's your entire fault!" She wined "If you would have just accepted the fact that people get drunk on punch…" Starfire trailed off as she heard Robin mumble something
"I heard that" She growled. Robin looked genuinely surprised
"I didn't say anything"
"Yes you did! Don't think that a splitting headache can uh" She frowned momentarily forgetting what to say. Robin grinned
"It makes you dumb. Obliviously" He taunted. Five pillows hit him on the head, choking him. Starfire got up and headed to the training room.
"See ya in the training room" She called back and added silently to herself "When you recover"
Robin stumbled into the training with a big scar running down his head. He glared at her
"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THAT PILLOW?" He bellowed. Starfire put an innocent face on trying not to smirk.
"Why Robin it's the pillow I sleep on. Didn't you know that I sleep on metal with a sheet on top to make it look like a pillow? Slade said it was one of our trainings. I guess he forgot to tell you that" She couldn't stop the smirk playing on her lips.
"Now Robin you owe me £20 and an explanation of how you know the titans" Starfire bit her lip realising her mistake. Robin grinned realising her mistake too.
"You're only gonna get one out of me" Robin taunted…again "Either the money or the explanation"
"But you promised!" Starfire whined, stamping her foot "You promised both. So you HAVE to" She glared at Robin. Robin, on the other hand was considering the possibilities, if he told Starfire that everyone made promises and they were made to broken she might not ever trust him again. But if he told her the truth she might not believe him and she might tell Slade to chuck him out. 'What have I gotten myself into' he thought
He was about to make an excuse to leave when he saw Slade with a deadly expression on his face.
"Your sister has something we need" Robin stared at Slade realising what he meant. 'Oh god not this' he thought. Since he had no sister it could only mean one thing. Blackfire.
Starfire had never been on a motorcycle before so she had her doubts. Robin told her to get on the motorcycle and wear a helmet, just to make sure she's safe. Then he told her to hold on tight. It was the scariest time of her life, yet the most fun she had for ages. Somehow he always made her feel lively. She relaxed and leaned onto him and felt his muscles relax too. Apparently he thought she was scared to death.
When they got off the cycle Starfire was nearly asleep but when she saw what her supposed 'sister' did, sleep was the furthest thing away from her mind. The jewellery shop had been reduced to ashes as if somebody had hit them with a powerful energy bolt.
"Hello sister dear" The words had been spat out and were covered in sarcasm. Both teens turned around to see a smirking Blackfire hovering over the ground. Robin's blood boiled with anger, how dare she come at a time when Starfire was most vulnerable. Robin glanced at Starfire to see her reaction. Her face was expressionless but Robin knew better than to trust her face, instead he looked at her eyes which held confusion and anger. He glared at Blackfire
"What do you want" He spat out
"My, my, aren't we a bit too protective" Blackfire drawled "Let see how you handle this" Blackfire threw a fully charged starbolt straight at Starfire.
After that everything happened a bit too fast. Robin ran at Starfire and pushed her out of the way receiving the full impact of the bolt. Starfire turned around and tried to go to him but Blackfire stood in the way.
"GET.OUT.OF.THE.WAY!" Starfire shouted but Blackfire just smirked
"Loos like my sisters learnt English" she said. Starfire eyes blazed and the ground shook. Blackfire lost her balance but flew up. She looked surprised but masked it up but Starfire wasn't finished with her…yet.
"I.HATE.YOU.ALL.THOSE.YEARS.OF.SUFFERING.ALL.BECAUSE.
OF.YOU!" Just as she finished the sentence tree vines came up and caught Blackfire, squeezing her. Just as she was about to die the vines let her go she fell to the floor breathing heavily. She got up and tried to fly but found that she couldn't, she had no powers. An invisible blow hit her like a rocket and she flew off with the impact. Starfire ran to Robin and looked for his pulse and found it although it was weak. Tears sprang to her eyes just by looking at him. He had cuts and bruises all over his body although some of them looked old and he was unconscious. It was all her fault, the only person to have ever helped her was dying because of her, because he tried to help her. A tear escaped from her eyes, then another, and then she was sobbing next to him unable to control herself. She didn't even know that her tears had healed him until she felt a pair of hands pulling her; she looked up and saw Robin smiling down at her with no cuts and bruises in sight. She stared at him and started crying again for no reason. Robin pulled her to him and stroked her hair until she had stopped crying. They were about to get up when they heard a car stop. Robin froze when he saw who they were. The titans.
