Chapter 2
Hey people. Thank you soooo much for all the reviews! You guys are awesome. Now I have a few things to clarify Yes this will be a Robin and Starfire story and ya sorry my chapters aren't gonna be very long. I go through these things were I like really wanna write then as I start it fades away and I'm lazy so I just call it a chapter but I will hopefully make up for it with really fast updates. Anyhow any more questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Robin stared as a large gust of wind from the dark and dreary rainstorm disheveled his curtains as he perched on his bed, letting his thoughts rapidly move through his mind. He leisurely watched, unwilling to get up and shut the window, as the rain drenched his drapes as well as a stack of papers containing photos of random villains. He breathed a groan of frustration as he remembered the green glow of her fists as she fired at the repulsive, balding man by the name of Control Freak. The determination on her face, the glow of her eyes as she dodged his minions, firing her green energy, just as a true hero. Protecting the innocent because it is good and right. Robin let a small chuckle escape his lips as he thought of her motivation to fight crime. He was not like the other; he did not share their same drive. He defended because that wars his cursed fate. He could not blend into a normal society nor did he want to. He had been brought up by a hero, a man he resented, a man who had let his family die. Robin winced at the haunting memory. He was a hero because he needed to forget his past, to stay alive and be admired by people who knew nothing about him, only that he was a great leader and guardian to them. Robin shook his head releasing the complicated aspects of his life.
She had proven herself. Robin could not deny her great skills and power as much as he wished he could. He needed a cigarette He reached for an open pack resting on his bed stand just as a knock sounded on his door. He cringed at the thought of a visitor as he grabbed a white litter from the messy floor. He lit the cigarette, inhaling the poison smoke into his blackened lungs. He closed his eyes in enjoyment as he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" Robin offered feeling in a better mood form the nicotine rush he had just received.
"Hello! It is I Starfire" The alien girl announced her presence as he stepped into the joyless room as thunder cracked echoing in the room. Robin flinched at the sound of her tender voice, taking another drag of his cigarette. With no response she went on.
"I have come to thank you again for allowing me to join the team and befriending me." She told him walking closer to his bed, her hands joined together behind her back as she watched him intently. Robin sighed at the fact he was going to have to explain the facts to her. Again he took a puff of his cigarette as he found the words to tell her. "Listen, you are not my friend. I don't like you. The only reason you are on this team is because you have some fighting skills but the rules are you leave me alone." Robin plainly explained aggravated she was even in the same room as him. He watched as her exuberant smile fell into a frown.
"What have I done to hurt your emotions?" She pleaded for an answer. Robin felt a trace of guilt as her wide eyes bore a hole into his somber heart. He tried to over come the unaccustomed feeling but it would not decline.
"Just go away" Robin spat at the confused girl not able to give her a reason for his hate.
"I am sorry I disturbed you," She whispered to him looking at the floor, doing her best to keep her emotions in tact. Robin stared at the window unwilling to look at the other person occupying his room until he heard the door close. He had not even realized he was holding his breath until he felt the release. He grinded his cigarette into a near by ashtray still holding his gaze to the window. He truly hated himself.
Starfire entered the common room of her new home looking around for anyone that might be able to answer her questions. The room was empty save for a clocked girl in the corner, her head in an old, mysterious book. Starfire smiled sat down on the hard floor next to the secretive girl and looked up at her, waiting to be noticed. Raven slowly looked away from her book to the green orbs that were gazing at her. "Hello Raven" Starfire quietly greeted. "Starfire" Raven acknowledged her presence and returned to her book. "Raven I was wondering perhaps if you could answer a question?" The otherworldly being interrupted again. "What" Raven sighed wanting to get this over with as soon as possible so she could get back to her book. Starfire smiled knowing she was going to get an answer. "It is this Robin. He does not like me and I do not know why. Perhaps you have seen me do something to offended him?" She questioned the pail girl, hope entwined in her gleeful voice. Raven closed her book again and easily explained;
"Robin is not the most friendly person you're going to meet around here. He had a lot of problems from his childhood. He just doesn't really like people very much but he has never lead us a stray. We trust him." Starfire nodded showing she understood. "I only wish to make him my friend." Starfire whispered to mostly to her self, hugging her knees and thinking of the puzzling boy.
All right what did ya think? Sorry that there wasn't a big fight scene. I suck at those. This was just still kind of character development. Anyhow what are you waiting for? REVIEW!!!
