Chapter 2: Falling For You
My heart beat wildly as Robin looked down at me. Currently held bridal style, looking up at his masked eyes, I felt both mortified, at the fact that I had just fallen through the ceiling, anger at Jinx ("I will get her for this"), and the sort of "Fluttery" feeling so loved by romance novels. I hate fluttery. Eyes locked on the Boy Wonder's I summand up a surge of anger Pushing down the urge to swoon.
Uggh swoon
"Well it seems like you're…"Luckily at that moment our beloved red siren began its monotonous drone. "Trouble" Robin said, suddenly serious. "No?" I thought, I thought, a little disappointed that our little moment of alone time, no matter how unplanned, had been cut short. With swish of my cape I surrounded us in my power and we were gone.

Nasty. That's the only real word for Plasmus. Most villains I don't mind, cinderblock's just a really confused construction worker at heart, Slade's a megalomaniac with an acne problem, and Kitten…well Kitten's just Dumb. Notice the capital. Plasmus though, he was another story. Not only is it useless to be telekinetic when things go through him, but my shower's always clogged for days.
At the moment I was not yet covered in disgusting, radioactive, snot. Yet. currently I heard the sound of yelling. Well more "EWWWWW oh god" ing but the point's the same. Beastboy was barrelling through the air having just been punched backwards by Plasmus, while in bright green bull form. He was also covered in slime. Seconds before he would have collided with me a wall of black energy rose up from the ground. The changeling hit it was a wet "thunk". It's not that BB isn't one of my favourite people, I just am very fond of the "tough love" form of affection.
Sighing loudly I projected myself towards the bubbling monster. I was going to have to get dirty for this. Someone will pay. Probably him. Reaching out with my mind I grasped onto a light post somewhere up the street "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" I Chanted and saw it impale the purple beast. Unfortunately this seemed to merely inconvenience the thing. Well then. "Robin!" I called searching the torn street for him. It wasn't hard. When you're dressed like a traffic light it's pretty easy to be found. Making eye contact he nodded at me. As Plasmus pulled the post out of himself with more or less success robin flung a disk at him.
As it hit, a wave of ice stilled his motion. In the sudden silence I floated towards the frozen pillar that was Plasmus. Not a bad day, villain beat and I didn't even get slimed. As I thought this a fissure ran along the ice encasing his arm and then…CRACK… I was slammed backwards by the freed arm and simultaneously covered in slime. Just my luck. As I contemplated the possible karmic causes of my situation I zoomed backwards too dazed to levitate. With the promise of a very hard ground looming in my future I shut my eyes and…
Was caught in a pair of strong arms. A pair of familiar, strong arms. Opening one eye I groaned " Twice in one day" Robin said with a lopsided grin " I think you may be…." He was cut off by Plasmus making a very disgusting noise then spitting a glob of purple green, "goop", for lack of a better word, effectually burying us up to our waists in monster vomit. Oh joy.

"Ahhhh" wrapped in an indigo bath robe relaxed in the titans main bathroom. Clouds of steam whirled around me and I was in a state of bliss. Begin clean is suuuuuucchhh a good thing. After finishing off Plasmus I had quickly teleported back to the tower. Begin the only one in the tower is a rare privilege. Only one thing to do. Bath. Sitting in the warm room, my thoughts wandered back to my two encounters with the boy blunder that day. I wasn't even going to think about what it was he had almost said. In my current…condition I'd probably think of something romantic, which is totally unlike him. But still… No! enough of this. My body became dark and intangible in an instant as slid through the ceiling. One level, two, on the third I stopped. Probably because I ran straight into someone.
Robin smiled down at me for the third time that day. I opened my mouth to apologize but he placed a single, gloved finger to my lips. As I glared at the digit for the mere audacity of his actions. The boy in question looked left, then right, took a moment to glare at the ceiling then looked back at me. He was smiling. 'It seems like your falling for me" He said, looking like a five year old who had finally learned to use the potty. I smirked. "One problem boy blunder" I said. He quirked an eyebrow "you can't really fall up." I pointed to the dark floor from which I'd just arose. Robin deflated. Pulling myself from his arms, having just remembered that I was only wearing my bath robe, I patted his shoulder mockingly. "How long have you been saving that gem" I said.
"You don't even want to know" he responded wryly. Smiling I waved and turned the corner "see ya, wonder boy" The glare he aimed at me as I rounded out of sight was softened by his grin. "That's Boy Wonder to you" He said. Climbing into the elevator, my phasing experience done for the day I sagged against the wall. Starring dreamily out the windows towards the sun set that flashed by I sighed happily. Could this day get any better?

An hour later I stood, now fully clothed, in the Titans kitchen area. The kettle I had placed on the stove was just beginning to shriek, and I rubbed my shoulders to ward off the cold. "Where's that tin can? I'll use him for fire wood" I whispered to myself while thinking that on revision metal wouldn't make great firewood, not being wood and all. Pulling the now soprano kettle off the stove I immersed a jasmine tea bag in my favourite blue mug. I wandered over to the couch originally intending to pick up the black bound book sitting there. As soon as I looked out the large window all thoughts of reading disappeared. My tea floating in tow I glided up to the windows. A brilliant moon, nearly full, was just rising into view out on the lake. The silver globe, reflected off the water, creating a shinning pathway to its source.
"Beautiful, isn't it" I whirled around at the sound of Robins voice behind me. I found that he was much closer to me than I would have thought he could get unnoticed. thought. Definitely in the too close for comfort zone. I could smell his cool, icy scent. He was starring out the window towards the moon and my eyes strayed there too as his voice drifted around me. "I love being out here when the moons out." He said. "It's really peaceful…and" My heart thumped as I felt his hand wrap around mine. Looking over I saw his gaze was now fixed on me. Meeting his eyes I saw they glowed almost as bright as the moon outside. We inched closer…closer. And in moments I felt his lips press softly against mine. All thoughts fled my mind. We just stood there, together, kissing, as the moon and stars wheeled around us.

Ok I think that was pretty good. I made it longer and I got able to get a little robrae action in at the end. Not a bad days work. Please leave the desperate writer a review. They're good for my soul.
