Chapter 4: Hoped It Was Painful

BB and Cyborg stared at Robin, their mouths fully open and their eyes as large as dinner plates. Then Beast Boy shook himself out of it and into a rage.

"Dude, what is wrong with you?" He yelled, putting up a fist.

"Yeah, man. What did Star ever do to you?" Cyborg added. Robin looked lost, his mind had gone blank. Cyborg was right. Starfire had done nothing to deserve what he did. He broke her heart, just because of some girl. Raven was glaring at him, her face showing no sympathy whatsoever and her magic was silently glowing round her fingertips. Though she hardly ever showed it, she enjoyed having Starfire as a friend and she hated seeing her cry. But she had always known of what Star had thought of Robin; always known that she had loved him. This was enough to throttle Robin, but she kept her distance, knowing that if she got any closer, she'd probably rip Robin's head off his shoulders.

"What did you lie about anyway?" Beast Boy growled.

"I…I… said that I….l-loved her." Robin stammered. BB and Cyborg look taken aback, until Raven covered the gap that Robin had left.

"He told her that he loved him, when really he loved some girl we saved the other day." She snarled. Cyborg looked down at the shrimp boy below him, a sort of deep anger running through his systems.

"Robin, we all knew that she loved you, ever since we got stranded on that planet. Why can't you ever get things into your head?" He hissed, in a low threatening voice. Robin stared back up into his face, rage flooding his own face.

"It's none of your business!" He yelled. "You don't get involved!" Cyborg had the sudden urge to grab Robin and smack him up against the wall, so he shut off power to his arms quickly. Instead he gave Robin a disgusted looked and went in, muttering something under his breath. Beast Boy followed him in. Once they were out of ear shot, Robin rounded on Raven.

"Why did you go and do that for?" He hissed. Raven gave him such a look that would make grown men tremble.

"Because I think you could do off without lying anymore today, alright?" She snarled back, he face contorted with rage. "Starfire is lying in there, fighting for her life for someone she thought she loved. But if she dies, Robin, I promise that I will never take the blame off you." Robin looked suddenly blank, his whole face wet with cold sweat. With a sweep of her cloak, Raven returned to her perch beside Starfire, leaving Robin to break down in the corridor.

Starfire's head was ringing with voices and images. She heard the lie over and over again, echoing like some sort of recording that was stuck. She wanted to clasp her hands over her ears, but found that her arms were stuck to wherever they were. She felt like crying, as her heart was ripping in two with the lost love of Robin. It was unfair! Why did he lie to her, why did he? What had se done to allow him to discriminate her in such a way? The question's fired over in the mind, like sharp bolts.

Starfire was aware that her starbolts were acting strangely and knew that they had hit Robin with a high powered force. Part of her was hoping he was ok, while the other, hoped that it had been painful.
