Chapter 4 -I Can't Be Saved
Hello people. How is every one? Good I hope. THANK YOU to all my wonderful reviewers. You people are the absolute best. I love you all. ANd I just realized something. The beginning of this chapter might resemble the beginning to apprentice part one. I must have subconcisly (SP?) done it or something and now I'm to lazy to change it. As you might have noticed I am a very lazy person ; ) This chapter won't be the most exciting you've ever read but I like it and pluse I have set stuff up. all right I'm done and PLEASE REVIEW!!!
"Yo Robin get your ass outa bed" Cyborg called to his friend from the other side of his door. The half robot half man tapped his foot impatiently waiting for the response of his leader. Robin yawned, stretching his arms. He had gotten all of 3 and a half hours of sleep last night and it showed.
"What" Robin yelled back snuggling into a new position in hopes of more sleep.
"It's Slade" Cyborg delivered the grave news that he new would not be kindly accepted. Robin's eyes widened showing he was now fully awake at the name of his enemy. He threw his covers to the floor and ran to the living room leaving a dazed Cyborg at his door. He entered the room only to be greeted by his foe who was occupying the large television screen. The other titans watched nervously on the side lines as the two interacted.
"Good morning Robin." Slade cooly greeted the seething boy.
"Cut to the chase Slade what do you want" Robin demanded stepping closer to the screen. He was not in the mood to beet around the bush.
"Now Robin there's no reason to be rude I only wished to welcome the newest Titan" Everyone, Slade and Robin included, all turned there heads to Starfire who was nervously fiddling with her hair.
"Good morning" Slade told her through his half gold half black mask as she stared up at him wide eyed unable to respond. Robin's protective instincts took over as he stepped in front of the frightened girl.
"Now Robin there's I only wished to say hello" Slade pouted as Robin clenched his jaw.
"She quite a beauty but not much with words." Slade observed taking pleasure in watching the hate fill Robins eyes. Robin breath was heavy as he stared the loathsome man's eyes.
"Don't ever talk to her. Just stay away from her." Robin pushed the words past his teeth.
"Well well well Robin, am I sending tension. Perhapes even emotions?" Slade asked smirking at the boy in front of him as he took a step closer to Starfire, disturbed by the mans last acusation. Emoshions were dangurus, espically when dealing with the emeny.
"Anything else" The Boy Wonder asked trying to keep a level head.
"That is all for now till we meet again Titans." The all watched as he disappeared from the screen leaving a fuzzy picture in his palce. There was an eerily silence before Robin stormed off into his room to sulk. He needed to be alone to rethink the suspicious conversation he had just taken part in. How could he let himself show that he felt anything besides his bitter identity.
"Is It just me or did Robin just look like he was defending Starfire?" Beast Boy asked clearly confused by Robins actions. He never had showed concern toward anything.
"Ya we saw." Cyborg agreed speaking for Raven as well.
"Starfire are you all right?" Raven asked stepping toward the motionless girl. Starfire stared into space still trying to comprehend the events that had just taken place. The others had explained much about Slade but seeing him for the first time had sent chills up her spine, the way his smooth voice had rapped around her, consuming her in fear.
"Starfire?" Beast Boy tapped her on the shoulder. Star came into reality and looked around at her three concerned friends. She smiled brightly trying to hide her thoughts.
"I am fine" She told them trying to put there worries at bay. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow but the left her alone.
After a very quite breakfast the titans departed each to do there own tasks. Starfire walked down the hallway, Robins room was at the end. She sighed unsure if she should really knock or leave him alone. She finally decided the first. She worried about him. It seemed like he could fall of the edge of sanity any second and this Slade only pushed him closer. She put her fist to the door and tapped it 4 times. She waited the routine five minuets in which he was deciding to let the visitor in.
"Go away. I want to be alone" Came a harsh voice but the alien was determined.
"It is I Starfire." The girl told him sweetly.
"I said go away!" Robin yelled at her. She winced at the hate in voice.
"Please?" She begged entrance. This time the was no response, only the sound of him rummaging through papers.
"Robin I only wish to speak to you briefly." Again no answer. She turned on her heel and sadly walked down the hall when the sound of a door opening caught her attention. She quickly turned back to see Robin glaring at her in his door way arms crossed against his chest. She smiled and head toward him. He allowed her to enter the room and together they sat on the bed. Robin stared at the wall across from him as Starfire surveyed the room. Pictures of numerous villains and news paper clippings littered the walls. Stacks of papers covered the floor, a slight hint if blue carpet showed through. She looked back over at him to find him still looking straight ahead.
"You are the strangest human I have encountered" Starfire plainly told him. He raised an eyebrow at her comment then turned to face her.BR
"Your the strangest girl I've ever encountered." He returned with something VERY unfamiliar in his tone. Happiness, and stranger yet a smile which quickly faded so fast it was hard to tell if Starfire had imagined it. Robin swallowed, disgusted with himself for showing her that forgotten side of his personality, yet he was intrigued at what response she had to offer. He watched as a simple smile spread onto her lips. He had caused this, this sence of well being. He closed his eyes as she rested a hand over his. He basked in the warmth her felt from her touch before he suddenly jerked it away, hating this feeling she was bring out. He stood up, the well known glare occupying his features. Her face fell into a frown as she could feel the hostly radiating off him.
"I am sorry to have interrupted you." She whispered standing, never letting her eyes leave the floor. She slowly walked to the exit not daring to even still a glance at the boy, for she could feel his eyes boring holes in her back. She entered the hallway and felt the rush of air hit her as the door slammed. He was hopeless.
