Ok. I'm back with the fourth chapter. Hope you enjoy it, and remember to review!
Disclaimer: I am still trying, but do not yet own the Teen Titans... but I'll still keep trying, even if Cartoon Network won't accept my emails...and that restraining order won't last forever! MY DAY WILL COME! Ok, on with the story. :)
Inside the hospital ward-
Starfire eagerly jumped up at her friends obvious belief of what she was trying to explain. She grabbed the video tape off of the bed and slid it into the VCR. She then flew back to the bed, grabbed the remote, and sat gingerly on the edge of the bed beside Robin. She pressed her finger to the play button and watched as the screen showed a city street.
Video
A woman stood in front of a large building. She had long blonde hair wrapped in a tight bun and she was wearing a tan business suit.
"And once again, Jump City's own Teen Titans have saved the day. This afternoon, Dr. Light was attempting to rob the Jump City museum when these amazing teenagers showed up and stopped him in the act. A witness managed to get some footage of these amazing crime fighters before the battle ended."
The screen then showed the museum and six people locked in battle. The fight was 5 to 1 so it ended quickly. Then the image switched back to the blonde woman.
"Well, that was truly amazing! We actually have the Titans here with us and they have agreed to give us a statement. Let's start with you, sir. What do you have to say about today's action?"
Cyborg appeared on the screen. He looked very excited, mostly because he knew that BumbleBee would be watching this at the Titans East Tower.
"Well, it was pretty routine, no trouble at all actually. We've beaten villains much tougher then Dr. Light before, and besides, we were just doin' our job."
"And you sir, what do you think?"
"Well, it's pretty much what my good buddy Cyborg said. We came in, I taught him a lesson and then my friends helped me take him down to the jail. Pretty normal stuff."
Raven rolled her eyes at Beast Boys remark and glared at him coldly.
"Miss? Do you disagree with this statement?"
"Yes, I do. It was routine, but all HE did was sit in the corner crying because he hit his knee on the wall. Other then that, I'm finished."
"RAE! You said you wouldn't tell anybody!"
Laughter emitted from the crowd that had gathered around them.
The woman laughed slightly before moving in front of Starfire and Robin.
"Here they are folks, the two we've been trying to get a quote from for months. So, Robin, what are your thoughts on this mission?"
"It was an in-and-out mission, nothing special. But I will say this, I am very proud of my team. They work very hard, and always get the job done."
"And you; Starfire, right? What do you think?"
"The mission was most successful and Dr. Light was stopped. What could be better?"
"Now, while I have you here. Do you mind if I ask a personal question?"
Starfire glanced at Robin who shrugged.
"Go ahead."
"There have been rumors of a secret romance between the two of you. Any confirmation?"
Starfire and Robin both blushed furiously.
"Well...um...you see...it's wierd..because...but I mean...UG!"
Robin turned his back to the camara as he sighed in defeat and walked away. The woman turned her attention to the alien next, putting her on the spot. Starfire looked extremely nervous and swallowed hard to clear her throat.
"Robin is my best friend...I do not believe there is anything more to our relationship."
She let her head droop as she stared at her feet. There was a glisten on her cheak as a tear slid down it. Cyborg saw this and motioned to the others.
"Ok, ya'll. Interviews over. We gotta get back to the Titans Tower."
He walked over to Robin and put his hand on the boy wonder's shoulder, but he shrugged it off and stormed past the others. Beast Boy put his arm around Starfire's shoulder, trying to comfort her. She simply raised her head and smiled at them all, but Raven knew it was fake.
She raised her hand towards the camara, as it became engulfed in dark energy.
Then, darkness.
End Video
Starfire stared at her feet in a hope to ignore the fact that Robin was staring at her. She hadn't realized which tape she had grabbed. Cyborg kept a stack of videos that he taped of each of there missions. She had merely chosen one at random in an attempt to show Robin what there missions were like. Now she was extremely embarrassed, and unsure of what to do. Luckily, Cyborg came into the room at that moment, breaking the silence.
"Ok, ya'll. Bee's bringin' her team down here so they can check you out. She was really interested in what it could be. They should be here early tomorrow, so get some rest, Robin."
Robin nodded, not taking his eyes off of Starfire. She merely stood, and walked out of the room without saying a word.
"What's eatin' her?"
Robin explained about the tape and how she had reacted. Cyborg gave him a sympathetic look.
"Robin, you gotta understand somethin'. You see, you aren't Batman's sidekick anymore. In fact, you haven't been for three years. You left Gotham and came here to fight crime on your own. Then you met us while we were tryin' to stop Star from reckin' the city. In the end, we decided to stay a team...with you as our leader. So...you..haven't even spoken with Barbara for years! You guys broke up when you left."
"What!"
"Ya man...and you and Star,well...maybe you should just read that."
He pointed at the notebook in his lap. Robin stared at it curiously.
"But what is..."
But Cyborg was already gone. So the Boy Wonder picked it up and flipped it open. He then began to read about his forgotten life.
