Chapter Forty-Three: "Men"
"What's up?" Beast Boy asked as he ran up next to Cyborg and Robin.
"Dr. Light found a bank." Robin said dully.
"He never quiets does he?" Raven sighed.
"Titans GO!" Robin shouted.
"Nobody can defeat Dr. Light, no one!" Dr. Light laughed menacingly.
"Give it up." Raven said dully.
"Medaling kids! Why can't you have school like normal kids!" Dr. Light pouted.
Beast Boy smiled, "We're not normal." He turned into a wolf and leaped at Dr. Light.
Dr. Light threw some round balls at him that exploded and blinded him.
"Not again!" Beast Boy shouted as he swirled in circles.
Cyborg sighed; he aimed his sonic cannon at Dr. Light and shot him in the chest.
"You damaged my suit!" Dr. Light protested.
Robin smiled, "Ya, for the hundredth time."
"Aren't you getting tired of losing yet?" Raven asked, "Azarath metrion zinthos." She chanted and wrapped him in a dark aura, lifting him into the air.
Dr. Light started whimpering and mumbling things that were inaudible. Terra was just watching them, noticing how easy it was to capture this villain.
"Who is this guy?" Terra asked, walking up next to Robin.
Robin took a few steps towards Starfire, "Dr. Light. Don't you remember? The guy obsessed with illumination?" Terra looked at him with a blank face. "Do you remember Slade?" Robin asked, a bitter taste in his mouth when he said Slade's name. Terra shook her head.
Something isn't right. She should know about that. Robin thought to himself, but she shrugged it off. He had other things to worry about. Like how to tell Starfire what happened on the target field. How is she going to take this news? What if I don't tell her? Will Terra try to blackmail me? Oh crap. He thought. He looked to his right side and found Starfire smiling sweetly; he couldn't help but return the smile. How can I tell her such a horrible deed? Well, in all honesty it wasn't my fault. At least I pushed her away, that's gotta count for something right?
Three minutes later the authorities arrived and took Dr. Light into there custody. After handing him over they began walking away.
"How many times have we foiled his crime sprees?" Beast Boy asked.
"More times than we can count." Robin replied.
"If the Dr. Light has been stopped so many times, why does he continue to steal?" Starfire asked.
"Because he's a sad little man." Raven replied.
As they walked down the street teenage boys and girls came running up to them.
Beast Boy smiled, "Ladies, Ladies calm yourselves. There's enough Beast Boy for everyone."
Raven chuckled, "Ya, that's why there all around Robin."
"Well, at least I have you." Beast Boy smiled, looking up at Raven. "Right?" he asked insecurely.
"Yes Beast Boy, but lets keep that between us." She said harshly.
Beast Boy was taken aback by this. "What?" he asked.
Raven walked up to him, not turning her head, "I don't want any of our enemies to find out. They'll use our relationship against us Beast Boy. I don't want that to happen."
Beast Boy understood, he didn't want Raven to get hurt because of him. He smiled and nodded, but he couldn't help but feel sad that they couldn't actually act like a real couple.
Stupid evil villains. Why can't we be normal? He sighed.
"Um, excuse me ladies, I have to get going." Robin frowned, trying to walk past the mob of attractive young teenagers.
"Oh please don't go!" One girl cried out.
"Do you want my number?" Another shouted.
Starfire was to busy to be jealous, she had her own mob. A mob of hormone enraged teenage boys.
"Hey baby, wanna go out?" A young teenage boy asked, winking at her.
"Call me later." Another said smoothly.
"Wanna see a movie"
"Please, I do not wish to do the going out with any of you." Starfire said as nicely as she could.
"I have to, and no thank you. The city needs constant saving." He walked away, leaving all the girls either fainting into there friends arms, or blowing kisses at them.
Robin walked over to Starfire and made his way to her side.
"Okay guys, let's go. She's on duty." Robin stated emotionless. Starfire smiled, thankful that he came to her rescue.
The mob of guys began walking away, well all but one. He stood there, in front of Robin, examining him with his eyes. He moved his head so that he was looking at Starfire.
"So, you want to go out tonight?" he asked her in a tough guy tone.
"She's busy." Robin stated.
The guy looked back at him, "Excuse me, I believe I was talking to Starfire."
Robin's felt a flash of anger and jealousy well up inside him.
Starfire looked confused, she felt something wasn't right and looked at the guy, "I am sorry. I do not wish to do the going out with you."
The guy looked at Starfire with pure hate. He moved forward and Robin stood in his way, his bo-staff in hand. The guy smirked and walked away.
Raven walked over to them and looked up at Starfire, "Men."
Robin looked over at her, "What's that mean?"
Cyborg heard the statement too, "Ya, what's that suppose to mean?"
"What he asked." Beast Boy said bitterly.
Starfire giggled, she found it amusing.
