Chapter Eleven: "Picture Perfect"
Robin stretched his arm out to indicate that she should sit down for this. Starfire understood and sat down on one of the chairs in the lobby.
"Starfire, I don't know how to tell you this, but-" he stopped. Nervously, he tugged at his collar to try and relax himself. Although, it didn't work.
"Robin, are you-" Starfire started, but was stopped when Robin held up his hand to her, indicating that he wasn't done.
"Starfire, I love you." He said quietly.
Not quiet sure what he said was correct Starfire looked at him blankly.
"What?" Starfire asked. Robin looked up, looking into her beautiful emerald eyes.
"I love you Starfire." He repeated, this time a little louder. Starfire's eyes began to water. "I understand if you don't feel-" he was caught off guard. For Starfire had taken him into an embrace.
"Oh Robin!" She said, "I love you too!" she whispered into his ear. He smiled, happy that he finally told her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
Starfire was the first to pull away from the hug. She looked into Robin's mask and they stayed locked for a few moments.
"Robin, are we now the girlfriend and boyfriend?" she asked him innocently.
"Yes Star. We're boyfriend and girlfriend." Robin smiled and laughed.
Starfire was overjoyed and hugged him again. He embraced her again as well.
"Yo, anyone there?" Cyborg shouted into his arm. "Hello!" He yelled louder.
"Hey Cyborg, what's wrong?" Robin asked, letting go of Starfire.
"Well you haven't told us what you found." Cyborg told him, getting frustrated.
"Meet me and Starfire in the basement." Robin ordered. Starfire gave him a worried look.
"The basement?" Starfire asked, getting ready to suggest something else.
"Yes Starfire, we haven't looked there, and it's pretty big. We should all go down and look." Robin said.
"Very well." Starfire whispered.
While everyone gathered into the basement, someone somewhere was going through Robin's things.
"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!" the mechanical voice shouted again.
"I thought you turned that off!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"I did. Who ever got in the first time is still here." Cyborg replied, looking at his arm and pressing the screen.
"Do you know where?" Raven asked.
"The intruder is in-" he stopped and looked up.
"Where?" Robin shouted.
"Your room." Cyborg said surprised.
"But why would anyone want to take something from Robin? All the confiscated things are not located there." Starfire glanced at all her friends.
"Titan's GO!" Robin shouted as he ran towards the door.
Meanwhile, the intruder was indeed inside Robin's room. They managed to take quite a few things, but was stopped by the sound of the door swishing open.
"Freeze!" Robin shouted. "Huh?" Robin looked around. Nobody was there.
"Didn't you say someone was in here?" Beast Boy asked, looking up at Cyborg.
"Dude, I know there was someone in here. Where'd they go?" he asked to no one in particular.
Robin looked around, someone was defiantly in there. He found his bed a mess, blankets and pillows everywhere. He looked inside his closet and found one of his suites missing, he then went to his dresser, a few things were missing from inside. He looked at the top and found that all his pictures, every one of them had him removed and Starfire's face was x-out with red ink. Robin was furious. Who would do this? He asked himself, picking up the picture of him and Starfire. Well, now it was just a picture of Starfire with her face x-out. He was mad that someone would do this.
"Titans, we need to find who did this." He said as he punched his right fist into his left hand.
"Fear not, we will find the culprit and bring him to justice." Starfire told him as she placed one of her hands on his shoulder.
Robin relaxed himself. There was no point in getting mad, and he didn't want to take it out on his friends. He walked out of his room, leaving everyone behind. Cyborg walked over to his dresser and found the pictures. He had a surprised look on his face, he motioned to the others to come look at what he had in his hands.
"Look at this." He told the others.
"Who would do this?" Raven asked, looking at Cyborg. Of course, Cyborg just shrugged at the question.
"I did something wrong?" she asked, not knowing why her face would be x-out like that.
"You didn't Star, someone else did." Beast Boy told her.
