Chapter 6 When I've Gotta Lot To Lose Hey guys. Crazy stuff. That Robin just can't make up his mind. Ya but uh thanks for wishing me to get well. You guys are just swell. Anyhow thank you all for the reviews. So sorry that it was all squished together last chapter. I have no idea what happened. I'm on a different computer so I'm still trying to figure it out. And if I didn't review some ones story I'm really sorry. My e-mail was all funky and crap so it deleted a bunch od stuff. But just tell me and I will be happy to go read your story. Any how enjoy. Sorry for the shortness... A chill filled the air as the lights throughout the entire tower flickered on and off before going completely black. Power outage. Robin shivered as lightning quickly lit the hallway he was walking through. Starfire was scared, Robin knew that for a fact, but she didn't want to see him. The truth was he couldn't blame her. He stopped in front of his door still deep in thought when something interrupted him. "Robin?" her sweet voice warmed the cold hallway. She should hated him so what was she doing her? He felt her hand softly touch his shoulder but he quickly shook it off, still she continued as he stared at the wall. "I wish to apologize." Robin furrowed his brow and turned to face her. "For what?" He asked. What did she have to be sorry for? She had done nothing wrong. "In my room you showed concern and" She was abruptly cut off by the Boy Wonder. "Starfire, you have nothing to be sorry about" He explained as guilt seeped through his body. Now was the time he should say something like Ôhey I'm sorry I've been such a jerk. Lets start over' but there was no way he could admit such feelings of compassion so he just shook his head and entered his room. "Robin! Please Wait!" Starfire shouted before the he got door closed, lightning illuminating her body. "What" He asked wanting nothing more than to be alone in his room. "Do you have an idea as to why the lights have stopped shining?" She asked clearly startled by such an event. "It's just the storm. They'll be back on in a while" He explained hoping to get her to go away. Being around her was making him question things about himself that he did no want to question. "Oh" She whispered, jumping as another clap of thunder roared, shaking the tower. Robin looked at how vulnerable the girl was, after all this was her first power outage. "If you want or something you could uh stay in my room till its uh over" Robin muttered half hoping she wouldn't here the offer. She smiled as she profusely thanked him and walked into his room politely siting on his bed. Robin dug around in his closet coming up with an oil lamp, He lit it and slumped down on the floor grabbing a pile of papers all with the face of Slade upon them. He The girl watched as Robin sifted throughout them deep in thought. "If I may interrupt, I have been wondering how it is Slade knew I had joined the Titans?" She kindly questioned. "Slade watches us. I don't know how or when but he does" He explained not even bothering to look up from what he was reading. She nodded to herself and brought her knees closer to her so she could rest her chin on them. Star watched as the boy became frustrated with the paper he was reading and tore it up and discarded it in the floor grabbing another. "Perhaps you would enjoy some help?" Starfire asked watching as he crumpled that paper in his fist and through it across the room. "No" his monotone voice answered. "Perhaps I should go. I am sure I could stay with one of the others." She offered nervous she was making it hard to work. She looked at him for his response. Hurt filled his face but he quickly got it under control and resumed to his blank face. He nodded. "If you want" He told her flipping through an old newspaper with the villain's face on the cover. "I do not want to I am only worried I am interrupting you work" She assured him. Again he nodded. He could be so confusing. Starfire slid off the bed and sat down next to him. She tensed as another clap of thunder bellowed through out the room. "It all right Star" He told her forcing out a strange foreign half smile. This comforted her and she smiled back. After a few minuets of watching him work she chime in again. "Why is it you chose this life of protecting the innocent?" She asked curiosity getting the better of her. The Ôsmile' quickly faded from Robin's lips. "I am sorry. It is just you do not have green skin or a red eye or anything else that makes the rest of us different." Robin sighed. "I guess I was just kinda raised that way." He shrugged not wishing to go into great detail. The answer seemed good enough for the alien, that or she realized it was a touchy subject. So together they each picked up a new piece of Slade information and began to read. Little did Starfire know Robin was not really focused on his work. He stared at her through the corner of his mask. "Star?" She looked up from the paper she was reading and looked at him waiting for him to continue. "We are friends now right?" She smiled bobbing her head up and down. "Always" Awww. But only friends? wink wink. Ok I'm stupid. Anyhow thanks a million and one for reading. I'm really happy cause this is the farthest I've ever gotten with a fan fiction and it's all because of my wonderful reviewers! I used to write these stupid good charlotte ones but those always sucked. Sorry for taking so long to update and it's kinda been short but I've been extremely busy. And I came up with really bad ass idea of how to end it. I'm excited. But that won't be for a while. But so what did ya think. If you review I will update really fast and it will be really long and exciting but if you don't well I don't know. I think I'm delirious. Review the crazed delirious girl! She needs major mental help!
