Shattered Dreams
"Robin, Robin? It is I, Starfire. Are you awake?" Robin awoke to the alien's gentle voice. He looked up to meet her emerald eyes gazing down at him with concern, along with Raven, Cyborg, and Beastboy. "Oh, I am so glad to see that you are unharmed!" Starfire shouted in glee, as she hopped up and down, clapping her hands.
"Wha-what happened? Where's X?" Robin asked as he sat up, trying to hide his pain. His spine, up to his neck was sore from being thrown against the building. Starfire threw her arms around Robin an hugged him tightly, which just added to the pain, before calmly whispering in his ear, "He got away."
Robin jumped to his feet for a moment before staggering back onto the pavement. "What-ow! Again? That'd be the 4th time this week!" Robin cringed in anger and pain. "We need to think of a new strategy." Robin pondered this thought as Starfire and Cyborg helped him to his feet.
"Okay, everyone hang on." Raven announced in her usual monotone voice. Then, suddenly, a black aura shadowed over the group until they only saw darkness. A few moments later, the black aura was gone and they were all standing in the living room.

Once Raven finished healing Robin, he plopped down on the couch next to Cyborg and Beastboy. "Uh! Why can't we ever beat him!" Robin shouted, the team sat in silence as they stared blankly in front of themselves, not knowing what to say.
"Calm down, it's nothing to get upset about. We can track X through Cyborg's computer system, and locate him. Until then, we all need to save our energy." Raven stated calmly. "Oookaay. I have an idea! How about we take the night of, since this week has been nothing but strategies and planning against X, it would be awesome ta sit around and watch SsCcAaRaYy movies!" Beastboy said this with enthusiasm, by waving his arms around to create a dramatic effect.
"Yes! And we can feast upon the "Cotton candy" and popped-in-the-oven corn!" Starfire cheered happily as she flew over to an empty spot on the couch. "I wouldn't mind just chillin' for a bit. While we're watching it, I can recharge my batteries." Cyborg said. "Yeah, sound "Exciting". I'll just go to my room and read." Raven called back behind her as she exited through the door.
"NO! We can't take a break! We have to find Red X and stop him!" Robin shouted as he curled his hand into a fist and hit it on the arm of the couch. "Oh, common Robin, lighten up. I'm sure"- Beastboy was cut off when Robin stood up and said, "Fine, I'll go look for him myself." Cyborg simply rolled his eyes, but Starfire and Beastboy reacted differently.
"NO! You cannot defeat the "Red X" with all of us Titans helping. So I will not permit you to leave under any circumstances! You will get hurt again." Starfire gasped as she leapt off from her feet and threw her arms around Robin forcing him to stop dead in his tracks.
"Yeah, come on, Robin. You are a part of a team; you can't do everything for yourself! Just relax for today, then fight X tomorrow. You KNOW Star isn't going to let you go alone. Do you want you both to get hurt?" Beastboy asked already knowing the answer.
"Well, no. I guess your right. Fine, but today only." Robin journeyed back to the couch as Starfire rushed out of the room, "Glorious! I shall go gather Raven so that we can all watch the movie together!" Starfire flew through the door, then it shut tight.
Robin sat patiently for a moment, then Cyborg and Beastboy sat next to Robin with wide grins spread across their faces. "Sooo, What about you and Star? Did it happen yet?" Beastboy asked slyly. "Yeah, when are ya going to make your move? She's a keeper! So ya better act fast before someone else gets her!" Cyborg added as they both looked at Robin, waiting for a reply.
Robin began to blush but shouted back. "I DO NOT like her like that! And I don't care if someone else goes out with Star; it's not a big deal. We're just friends. Now leave me alone." Robin stated the last part and glance back at the door for a moment. "Yeah, well guess what? We aren't gonna leave you alone about her, until you ask her out! What's the worst thing that could happen?" Beastboy asked.
"Uh-She could say "No". Robin stated this obvious fact in a sarcastic tone. "Oh, um yeah. I guess she could. But she wouldn't! She has liked you for like, ever!" Beastboy smiled back at Robin, who just gave him an evil glare. "No, she doesn't. Now shut up and stop being so immature." Robin sunk deeper into the couch, as he crossed his arms and tried to block out the annoying voices surrounding him.
"Oh well, he's just too big of a pussy to ask her out." Cyborg said loudly, as he and Beastboy began to laugh. "Shut up, I am not. I don't see you two asking anyone out." Robin said giving a faint smile off to both of the other Titans. "Yeah, well,-, Hey BB, wanna make a bet?" Cyborg asked with a menacing smile on his face.
"Hmm, what kind of bet?" Beastboy asked back. "Well, I bet you 200 bucks that Robin will never get the guts to ask Starfire out." Beastboy started laughing. "Okay, fine. I'll take you on! Now, Robin, for me, ask her out so I can be $200 richer!" Robin merely rolled his eyes, "Beastboy, S-H-U-T-U-P!"
Beastboy released a slight chuckle as he thought of his next "Joke". "Anyways, you know who would look good with Star? A real man. One that can take care of her, and protect her." Beastboy said as he stood on the couch looking down at Robin with a sly smile. "Oh yeah? And who would that be-YOU?" Robin asked again, as he laughed to himself about the thought.
Beastboy's grin grew wider, "Nope, Red-X." Robin stopped laughing, but Cyborg and Beastboy just laughed harder. "Shut up." Robin fumed, trying to contain himself. "Yeah, at least he would've had the guts to ask her out by now!" Cyborge added. "I said, stop it!" Robin said, accidentally letting out more anger than he should have.
"Yeah, I can see it now, 'The hottest alien and the strongest, coolest, villain EVER, together forever!' I bet her wedding ring would be a pure diamond, cause X must be loaded since you let him get away so many times, and just in one week!" Beastboy began chuckling again, until Robin exploded.
"X and she will NEVER END UP TOGETHER! PLUS, I DO NOT LIKE HER! I never did! Never will! So STOP BOTHERING ME ABOUT STARFIRE! I wouldn't go out with her if you were paying ME to do it! So, DROP IT, SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP YOU DUMBASSES!" Robin stood up and turned towards the door to leave the room.
Then,he saw her. Standing there. With a look of grief and utter disappointment. Her once smiling and cheerful face was pale white. Her once bright, emerald eyes were now dull and dark. "Starfire, I"- Robin began, until suddenly he saw tears forming in her eyes.
He walked closer, trying to approach her so he could hug her, and make her feel better. But once they were 2 feet apart, Star pushed him back and ran out of the door. "Star, wait!" Robin tried to run after her, but something was holding him back.
"No, let her go, Robin. Don't you think that you did enough already?" It was Raven. She used her powers to cover Robin and pull him back. "No, I have to see her! I have to apologize!" Robin didn't realize it, but he had begun to cry too. "I have to tell her the truth! - I have to tell her that I didn't mean it! I have to tell her- STARFIRE!"
----------
Starfire ran to her room as fast as she could, hoping to escape from the world and run away to a new one. She reached her room, as soon as the door shut behind her; she turned around to lock it. Then, she threw herself onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow.
"I should have known better! I should have just stopped caring! I knew all along that he didn't truly love me! How could he?" Starfire sobbedoutloud between tears.
Suddenly she heard a crash. When she looked up, she found out that it was her window, shattered. When she jumped off from her bed, and turned towards the door, a familiar voice called from behind her, "Hey cutie, remember me?"
