(A/N)- I mostly did this prompt this way because I wanted to write protective Robin angrily tossing aside mooks in order to save Starfire. :)

RobStar Week 2018, Day 6 - Passionate

Starfire shifted, snuggling closer to him. Robin adjusted his arm accordingly, both of them settling back down into a comfortable reclining position on the couch. The blue light of the TV flickered across their faces in the dimmed OPS room, the hidden speakers blaring out the bombastic fanfare of the show's main theme.

Her ear rested on his chest as she watched the screen, enraptured.

The hero had just kicked in the door of his nemesis's hideout, and was brandishing his sword threateningly.

"Oh… he is outnumbered," she said worriedly, as the camera pulled back to reveal a roomful of opponents.

Robin pinched a strand of her hair, running it through his fingers idly. "It's okay. See look—Takane's there," he told her, pointing. He smiled. "He's not gonna let a bunch of two-bit goons keep her from him."

Starfire giggled in delight.

Indeed, the hero was facing the far side of the room where the villain was blocking the way to a gilded cage with a pretty girl trapped inside it. Now he was speaking sternly in Japanese and demanding the fiend release his love interest.

The villain issued some kind of challenge and without any further hesitation the hero leapt into battle.

The couple watched and enjoyed the fluidly-animated action scene for a bit, then Starfire stirred, turning her head and resting her chin on Robin's emblem.

"Robin?" she called.

His eyes glanced down at her. "Yeah Star?"

"If I was captured and being held prisoner, do you think you would charge in to rescue me in the same impassioned fashion?" she asked.

Robin dropped the hair he was playing with and wrapped his arms around her, squeezing tightly. "I hope I'd never have to," he said solemnly. "But yeah, I would. You know I would."

Starfire beamed, laying back down on his chest.

"I am happy to hear that," she sighed happily.

-TT-

An explosion rocked the entranceway, flinging a few mooks through the air. Professor Chang started from his work, almost leaping in his fright.

"What in the world?" he blurted.

Bursting through the smoke and dust to body-check another technician, sending him hurtling to the floor, a furious Robin emerged. His face was burning with anger.

"Let her go!" he screamed, already charging forward with a lurch, bird-a-rang out.

Even in her weakened, energy-drained state, Starfire grinned at the sight of him. Chang, meanwhile, took several panicked steps back.

"S-stop him!" he ordered his minions.

A half-dozen converged on the Boy Wonder, who had already elbow-butted another two out of his way, hurling the bird-a-rang. Sparks bounced off the metal railing of the elevated platform, causing Chang to jump and fall backwards towards the foot of Starfire's table.

Robin practically roared as he punched and kicked his way through the mob blocking him. Another bird-a-rang was pulled from his belt and loosed.

This one hit its mark, burying in the controls of the device sapping Starfire of her power. Electricity arced, the controls sparked and popped loudly, and hot power surged back through Starfire's body.

She burst forth from the restraints in a single motion, blasting the surrounding area with starbolt energy. Chang shrieked again, tossed towards the other end of the platform this time.

Starfire grabbed him up, glowing green eyes burning into him.

"I suggest you surrender," she growled.

Chang gave a pitiful squeak and fainted dead away in her grasp. Starfire dropped him and turned towards the ladder, where Robin was just rushing up, the mooks all prone on the ground behind him.

Her grin spread wider on her face… and then she wobbled dizzily.

He rushed up to catch her, grabbing onto her arms, pulling her back onto her feet. His face twisted with worry.

"Star? Star, are you okay?" he called.

Her arms fell heavily across his shoulders as she slumped into him. "I am… okay…" she promised. "I am happy you are here."

"I'm sorry," he whispered, arms coming around her tightly. "I'm sorry, when I saw the transmission I just couldn't think of anything else but getting you back. I know I jeopardized the mission, I just couldn't—"

"Shh," she breathed in his ear. "None of that."

Choking back his emotions, Robin reached up, cupping her face and pulling her to him for a deep kiss.

Starfire melted into it, adrenaline rush calming into a sleepy contentment.
