Chapter 4
Love is a Battlefield
Morning came and everyone was in the common room having breakfast. Raven was sitting at the table silently drinking her coffee. Cyborg, Beast Boy and Mas y Menos had started a "who can finish their cereal first contest." Bee was holding her head in her hands and shaking it in disapproval of the boy's game. Aqua Lad was looking on with disgust as milk splattered everywhere. Starfire was sitting down next to Speedy eating some strawberries; Speedy was sitting down watching Starfire eat the strawberries. Robin walked in, he was extremely disheveled. His hair was not combed, his cape was lop-sided, and his eyes were bloodshot from not getting any sleep. He sat down and glared at Speedy.
"Hey Speedy; you're drooling" Aqua Lad pointed out loud enough for everyone to hear. They all laughed everyone except for Speedy who was embarrassed, Robin who was angry and Starfire who was blushing. Their laughing was cut short due to the alarm.
"There's a situation downtown. It's Steamroller." Bee said with serious face. "Titians Go!" Robin and Bee said in unison.
When they had arrived, Steamroller had crushed a good part of town. The Titians took their stances. Starfire's eyes lit up, she tightened her fists and was ready for battle. "Titians Go!" Robin shouted. Everyone sprung into action. Cyborg was the first to attack; Steamroller grabbed his arm, and heaved him into Beast Boy. Cyborg landed on him and elbowed him in the spine. Robin leapt forward afterward; his fists came out at Steamroller swiftly. Steamroller blocked with equal swiftness. Starfire sprang forward, gently pushing Robin out of the way, and then with a vicious yell, heaved a heavy punch. Steamroller went flying backwards. Speedy jumped up and shot one of his arrows; it missed and Steamroller threw a punch at him. Speedy leapt to the ground, landing smoothly on his feet.
The Titans scrambled to their feet. Cyborg readied his sonic cannon; Steamroller however punched him before he shot. Cyborg lay on the cold, hard ground. Bee became smaller and flew up to Steamroller; and gave him an electric shock with her stingers. Steamroller stumbled back. Raven, her eyes glowing threw a car engulfed in black matter at him. Steamroller dodged a few starbolts from Starfire who gasped at the small sound she heard. It was a whimper emitted from behind her. Bee fell to the ground, a little bubble of blood at her mouth. Starfire flew over to her; she propped Bee's head up onto her lap. She looked back at Robin, biting her lower lip; he gave her an assuring wave and smile. She smiled back weakly. Robin jumped into the air, twirling right before him. Steamroller slammed him into a wall.
"Robin?" Starfire yelled, her heart beat rapidly against her chest—more rapidly than before.
Starfire's eyes lit up, she gently laid Bee's head onto the ground. "Cyborg!" Starfire yelled as he turned around quickly and aimed his cannon up. She lifted him by his shoulders. She brought him up to the back of Steamroller's head. Cyborg readied his cannon and shot a considerable hole in Steamroller's head. He screamed in rage; he wheeled around and finally fell back taking out a building in the process.
"Damn! He was tougher than and I thought." Exclaimed Cyborg while rubbing the back of his neck.
Bee stood up and shook her head. She got on her comm. Link and called Aqua Lad and Mas y Menos who had split up from the group to take care of a bank robbery.
"Yeah we're fine, it didn't take long. Now were back at the Tower." Aqua Lad told Bee. After Bee was done explaining the goings on with Aqua Lad; they decided to go back to the Tower and have some pizza as a victory dinner.
Robin sulked all the way back. When the got to the Tower he decided he wasn't hungry and was going to go to bed. On the way to his room, he couldn't help but notice that Speedy's door was opened slightly. Robin decided to go in and give Speedy a piece of him mind.
"Hey Speedy! We need to talk!" Robin said while barging him. No one was there. He rolled his eyes and went sat down on the bed. "Damn! Well now what am I supposed to do." He asked himself. He laid his back on the bed and put his hands over his eyes. He couldn't get her out of his head. Her fiery red hair, the way her eyes glittered when she laughed, or how soft her skin, she always had an angelic look to her especially when the sun hit her skin; it would give her a lustrous look. Robin shook his head vigorously, trying to get his thoughts of her out of his mind.
Just then he noticed Speedy's desk, there were papers thrown about all over it. His lamp was on and shone on a single piece of paper. Robin walked over to the desk and picked it up. His eyes widened behind his mask as he read it.
All the things you provide for me;
Peace, Love and Harmony
Belief in myself instilled from the start
I thank God for you with all my heart.
For my dearest Starfire.
"Holy crap!" Robin gasped. His eyes became narrow with anger. He crumpled the pieced of paper, and then tore in half.
"Speedy's; Star's secret admirer." Robin threw down the shredded note and stormed out of the room.
