Chapter 8 (SomeFang)
"So what is our first plan of action?" Robin asked, "Finding Fang?"
"I say we squish all the spider and then-" Cyborg was interrupted.
"NO! I say no squishing, we should capture one and run some tests, find out if they are genetically altered or something…" Beastboy suggested.
To everyone's surprise, "Yeah that makes sense." All 4 heads turn to stare at Raven. "In fact it's the only thing he has said today that DOES make sense."
Beastboy glared, "You just HAD to add something mean on the end didn't you? Would it kill you to be nice to me?"
"May-" Raven got cut off.
"GIRLS! KNOCK IT OFF!" Yelled Cyborg.
There was a momentary silence… Until Beastboy's brain gears started clicking, "Hey I'm not a gi-"
"Friends, let us focus on the issues at hand", Star had been pretty quiet until then.
"Thank you Star. Yeah I think Beastboy right", Robin agreed.
"DUDE! I'm a genius! In your face Spider Squishy man!"
Cyborg glared, "Shut up, Green Bean."
"Hey!"
Robin raised his hand over his eyes. That was his sign that if they didn't shut up in the next five minutes, he would MAKE them shut up. Star put a hand to Robin shoulder, "It will be ok, Robin."
Robin nodded silently.
"My leg does not hurt, in fact it has become much more flexible!" Star rolled of her chair and landed in the splits. All the boys winced. Then she flipped her leg around so it was next to her head.
Robin turned pink and looked away. 5 seconds later so did Beastboy and Cyborg. Raven said, "Umm, Star, you do know that you're wearing a skirt?"
Star blushed and undid her twisty position, pulling herself back on the couch. Robin opened an eye, still blushing red as a tomato, "Right… Erm… But you still can't walk on it right?"
Star nodded, somewhat too embarrassed to speak.
"Is it safe to look now?" Asked Beastboy.
"Yeah", said Raven, rolling her eyes. Amazing how teenagers could be so immature.
"So, team I want to get right on top of this now! Cyborg start doing searches on Fang." Cyborg nodded. "Raven and Beastboy you two capture a few spiders, for tests, try to capture a normal one too, so we can spot possible differences…"
Beastboy looked cautiously at Raven, "So Robin, what exactly will you and Starfire be doing alone? Together?"
Robin went back into tomato mode, "We'll, be, err running some tests on her leg…"
"Um hmm, right…." Beastboy smiled.
Raven grabbed Beastboy pulling him off the couch and toward the door, "Common Green Bean."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"You are what you eat!" Cyborg called after him. After Beastboy and Raven when out of sight he got up and left the room leaving Robin and Starfire alone.
"So what's new with the bite?" Robin asked. He watched as Star slowly pulled off her boot.
She searched her leg looking for the bite, it was now on the back of her leg, and it was purple. More than that, it was turning her leg purple! Almost spider web-like, thin purple lines extended from the bite.
"Well, that doesn't look too good…" Said Robin pointing out the obvious. He gently put his hand on it, "Does that hurt?" Star shook her head. He pinched her leg lightly, "Feel anything?" Star shook her head again. "Maybe it's num or something…" He ran his fingers over it lightly.
Star giggled, "That tickles!"
"Hmm… That's weird."
"What is weird Robin?"
"The fact that you can't feel anything in your leg, unless I tickle it."
Star cocked her head to the side, "Robin do you think the wed of purple is dangerous?"
Robin thought, "Purple can be kind of a venomish color, not sure if it's fatal… We should probably ask Cyborg to run some tests…"
"Let us be off!" Said Star in a voice that told him she didn't quite understand what he had said. So he nodded and started walking toward Cyborg's room until he remembered that Star couldn't walk.
He Turn around and picked her up, carrying her in the direction of Cyborg's room, "You know it's a good thing you are so light." Star blushed. Robin dropped her off in Cyborg's room then left saying, "I'll be right back I want to go get something…."
A/N: Longer Chapter! Ooer. But I left a cliffe (I think) o what do you think he's going to go get? Is there anyone even reading this story anymore? ;)
