BU-BUM! BU-BUM!

Robin's head was killing him. He'd slept all through the night but his headache remained. He turned in his covers to face the wall. "Should I get up?" he wondered. "No. What's the point? The alarm hasn't sounded and if it does . . . well I guess I could get up. Wait, what am I thinking, the team needs me. I mean, sure my godfather is marrying a girl my age but . . . ouch!" Thought hurt too much, way too much.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

He cringed. Each thump made his head pulse twice as much.

"Maybe if I lay here quite they'll go away."

He waited.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Robin!"

No not Star! She was so . . . loud.

"Friend Robin, it is time for us to feast on the morning dishes of product of cow and offspring of chicken."

He sat there quietly.

"ROB-"

Star's yell was muffled, and Robin let out a sigh of relief.

Outside his room Raven had both hands firmly over Starfire's mouth. "He's trying to sleep. He wasn't feeling well last night so it would be best if we left him alone." Raven's voice was barely over a whisper.

"If my Robin was not feeling well why did he not tell me."

"Sh! Two things, you do not own him, and he probably didn't want to tell you."

Star was puzzled Was Raven angry? "Why?"

"Maybe because you annoyed him the other day by calling him 5 million times."

"I did not call him 5 million times, I believe it was only three."

Raven let out an exasperated sigh and dragged Star down to the kitchen. "Leave Robin alone until he comes down. When he comes down make sure you speak softly."

"Am I not speaking softly now?" Star asked, her voice echoing off the Grand Canyon.

"If that is speaking softly to you, then perhaps it would be better if you do not speak when he comes down."

Star sat quietly in a corner, waiting for Raven to let her speak. Time passed and Star felt the hours drag by. She had to see Robin. The uninformed alien girl flew up the stairs.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Robin groaned, dragging himself to the door. A quick glance at the clock told him hat only 5 minutes had passes since she was last there. With another groan and super human effort he lugged himself fully in front of the door, blocking the entrance to his room. "What do you want Star?"

"Robin, you have been in bed all day! It is time for you to awaken."

"Uh, Star, I'm awake. Would you-" he paused, his vision narrowing, head spinning.

"Yes, Robin?"

Blood returned to his head, flowing through his veins with the force of a stampeding elephant herd. "Would you go away for a few hours?"

Star's legs gave out and her eyes turned into a water show. "So I was correct!"

Robin groaned, why was Star crying? "Correct about what?"

"You do wish that I left this place," –sob- "Friend Raven said you didn't, but" Star fled.

Boy wonder stood behind his door, he hadn't opened it when Star came as he hoped it would muffle some of her voice and now he couldn't seem to get it open. "How do you do it again?" he asked himself. His head hurt much to badly to be dealing with this right now, but what choice did he have? Realizing he couldn't do anything with his head engulfed in pain, he opened a drawer and took two pills that he'd never let Bruce or the Titans know about.

First thing he had to do was find Star; the team needed her too much to let her leave. Walking towards the kitchen Robin smiled as he felt more and more pain rushing away.

"You're up!" Raven was surprised.

Giving her a cheery smile Robin said, "Good Morning, I thought I should get up at some point today. Have you seen Star? I heard her crying outside my room and figured I better check on her."

"Oh," Raven felt slightly disappointed. She had hopped to talk to him when he got up. "She came through here once but went up to her room when Beast Boy asked her if she had annoyed you into therapy yet."

BB whined, "Yeah, well why don't you tell on yourself? Robin, Raven threw a hamburger patty on me!"

"Well maybe you shouldn't have been so rude to Star, I mean when she's crying it's usually a big hint that Robin's said something to her."

"But isn't it the leaders place to punish team members?"

"Not that you're focused enough to notice but Robin wasn't exactly capable of dealing with anything earlier."

"So that puts you in charge?"

"Somebody's got to take control when he's unavailable."

"STOP!" Robin thought this little argument was humorous at first, but it was getting old. "BB, you deserved the meat throwing. Raven, creative punishment."

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Star, open up!"

Mimicking Robin, Star replied, "Go away!"

"Star, I didn't mean it like that. I've just had a lot on my mind, I had a bad headache and I needed some sleep. Think of it as Raven when she hasn't meditated."

"So you do not wish me to leave this planet?"

"No Star. I'd like you to stay with the team. I don't know what we'd do without you." Robin shook his head. Something was making him really goofy.

Star opened her door and gave Robin one of her famous bone crushing hugs.
