Part 6 - Revenge

When Robin's parents completely disappeared the light grew in intensity and got so bright that it nearly blinded Robin forcing him to cover his eyes.

After this moment of high spiritual intensity he opened his eyes and saw the sun that was almost up. He rubbed his eyes and realized that all of what he had experienced was only a dream yet he felt that the intervention of his parents was real and somehow of divine interference even if he didn't believe in any particular divinity before. He checked the time on his communicator and noticed that it was 8:47.

He laid on his back and tried to remember the advice given to him by his parents in the dream he previously had, and thought about how to use this advice to repair the damage he caused the night before.

As he was still thinking, pondering, lying in the exact place where he slept, he hears the door open. At first, he would have hoped it to be Starfire, that would have made his situation much easier, but it was worst, for the one that appeared was Rage.

Rage went to the roof top after waking up a little bit later than he usually did. He decided to start work after his usual morning routine. When he got there he didn't notice Robin as he was more than sure he was in his room sleeping. He went near the edge and stretched a bit and afterwards he mumbled something in his native language that Robin did not understand and seemed to just look at the sight in front of him and get ready for what laid ahead.

Robin kept looking at him and remembered what Rage had done. Anger soon got hold of him and he remembered what his mother told him: "... protect that which you love most and stop those that try to ruin you life or the life of others".

Rage had a bright smile on his face as he was looking at the reflection of the morning sun in the ocean bay and seemed to be in a good disposition. He took out a cigarette from his pack that he had in his pocket and lighted it up blowing out the smoke in a very relaxed and distinguished manner.

"Look at him! That pig is actually feeling good about what happened. I was right! I was a fool for thinking he was a friend. He waited for the exact moment to strike and he did it, he took Starfire away from me ... I'm going to make that scar even bigger and wipe that smirk of his face once and for all!" said Robin to himself determined to get rid of the one he thought was his friend.

Pulling himself up, Robin furiously headed towards a relaxed Rage trying not to attract his attention.

"RAGE!" he suddenly yelled out startling his 'friend'.

Rage turned around a bit baffled and surprised to find Robin up on the roof top at this hour.

"What's going on here? How come I did not hear the door open? Why is Robin shouting my name out? And what happened to him last night?" Rage asked himself not knowing how to react. When he saw Robin approaching with a strange yet familiar expression on his face he decided to play it cool so as to help him.

"Good morning Robin, how is it going?" he asked taking the cigarette out of his mouth.

Before Rage could ask another question Robin somersaulted and kicked him in the head making Rage fly across the roof top, dropping his cigarette in the process, and landing about 8 yards behind the place he was first standing.

"Don't ever talk to me you home wrecker" Robin shouted infuriated.

The kick came to Rage like an ice-cold shower on an extremely hot summer day, bringing him back to reality in a shocking way. The power of that kick was indeed great; he felt as though the world around him was circling.

"Are you out of your mind? What the hell was that for?" asked Rage while rubbing his temple that bled.

Seeing the blood drip down on Rage's face made Robin even more blood-thirsty. He jumped and tried to kick him again but Rage draw back just in the nick of time. The attack didn't end here though, Robin continued his assault trying to hurt his former friend but Rage just went back with every one of Robin's blows avoiding his furious punches and kicks.

"Robin slow down! You're acting crazy!" said Rage trying to calm him down.

"You acted like a traitor last night by stealing Starfire away from me" replied Robin who again somersaulted into the air.

"Wait! ... What?" asked Rage (acting in the way that Robin considered as "playing dumb") who, because of his hesitant question, received a punch straight in the face.

After that punch Rage received several other heavy punches and kicks from Robin. He pulled himself away but he still seemed not to know what Robin was talking about.

"Robin, I don't know what came over you but you're crazy" said Rage "I do not understand, I did not do anything to Starfire last night!"

"LIAR!" Robin again shouted and attacking his former friend.

This time Robin didn't miss. He pinned Rage to the metallic door and started to pound and stomp him violently. Rage couldn't do much as Robin was clearly superior in strength because of the anger that put a hold on him, and he was still shocked that Robin even acted like this.

As Rage managed to pull back yet again Robin waited a second to catch his breath.

"Look Robin, I really do not know what you are talking about. Nothing went on last night between me and Starfire, I swear" said Rage while pressing down on his stomach because of the pain.

Rage's excuses only made Robin even angrier and he again started to beat him.

"I took you into our home. I tried to understand you. I gave you all of my trust. And this is how you repay me? By taking Starfire away from me? Beast Boy was right, you really are nothing more then a psycho" Robin yelled out while hitting Rage after he finishing every sentence.

Robin took Rage and threw him on the roof and tried to punch him in the face again but just as he prepared to strike, Rage, who was now bleeding from several places on his face and started to bruise, got up with his eyes turned blood red.

"Robin that's enough!" Rage shouted in anger and hit Robin in the chest stopping and making him drop to the ground.

Rage seized the opportunity and grabbed Robin from behind pinning him down to the roof floor and smashing his face twice on the concrete. After he finished he still kept Robin in a tight lock.

"Look!" said Rage who now sounded like he was giving orders "I do not know what you mean when you are saying that I stole Starfire away from you but come to your senses already! I did not take her away from you, she would never do such a thing and I would never betray you".

"Don't play stupid Rage!" replied Robin as he struggled to brake free "I heard and saw you two last night in her room, you talked her away from me and she kissed you"

"I did no such thing! And neither did Starfire!" protested Rage "Where did you get these stupid ideas from?"

"I heard you two talk and I heard you saying you'll always be there for her, she said she wanted to give you something special and she leaned in towards you and you two kissed. You can't fool me Rage, I know you planed to brake us apart and move in for a long time you traitor" replied Robin as he was still struggling.

Robin felt the grip on one of his hands loosen up and all of the sudden saw Rage's fist in front of his face only something was different about his hand but couldn't make out what.

"Look here!" ordered Rage while waving his fist in front of Robin.

At first Robin thought that Rage will hit him but he didn't, he just tried to get his attention. Robin then noticed something strange. Rage was wearing some sort of purple bracelet with strange inscription on it. He remembered seeing these inscriptions before on Tamaran.

"Something special?" Robin thought to himself "Wait, could this be it?"

"See this Robin? This was the 'special thing' Starfire gave me" said Rage confirming Robin's hunch even though he had no idea about it "And Starfire did not lean in for a kiss, she only hugged me, that is all. In fact, she hugs everyone, or haven't you noticed that?"

"I guess I didn't" replied Robin understanding now what might have happened.

"Well then let me tell you what really went on. I tried to calm her down as she was crying because of you. I didn't want things going wrong between you two. After I convinced her you were under a lot of stress, she hugged me and offered me this bracelet"

"She never gave me one of those" said Robin suspicious of the reason Starfire gave Rage that gift.

"She told me it's some kind of good luck charm, and believe me ... you don't need it, and you will never need it. This work has gotten you paranoid. Suspecting Starfire of leaving you is stupid. She loves you much more than you know it and I would never want anything to go wrong between you two. She was desperate about losing you and didn't know how to make things better, that's why I tried to calm her down. She loves you so much that she would be capable of even sacrificing herself for you. You are lucky for having a girlfriend like her, but stupid for accusing her of such things. Wake the hell up already!"

Robin was now breathing slowly and felt ashamed of what he did. "You're telling the truth right?"

"Do I sound like I am lying to you?" asked Rage in a rhetorically.

"No" Robin sighed "You don't, and I'm sorry for thinking -"

Robin couldn't finish his sentence because all of the sudden he felt like Rage let him go, but not in a normal way, more like he was pushed away by someone. He heard a zapping noise of sorts and then saw Rage fly over him landing and rolling on the roof floor. He turned around and saw Starfire with a furious expression on her face, her hands forming star bolts and her eyes emanating green energy.

"Keep your filthy hands off of my lover you sick man" yelled Starfire who now walked towards Rage with one hand facing him.

Robin was touched by Starfire's reaction and noticed how much she cared for him. He realized what a jerk he really was and decided to make things better.

As Starfire headed for Rage, Robin pulled himself up and took Starfire's hand. She was so furious about Rage that she forgot about attending to the one she loved.

"Starfire don't hurt him, it wasn't his fault, it was mine"

"Robin?" asked Starfire who was surprised to see him this way "Are you alright? Are you injured? How may I assist you? What has Rage done?"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down princess" replied Robin "It was my fault, Rage didn't do anything, he cleared things up for me"

Seeing Robin back to normal, apologizing and taking credit for what he had done made Starfire weak in the knees and she almost fell down if it wasn't for him.

"Oh Robin! I thought I had lost you" she cried.

Robin embraced his loved one and settled down with her when both of them heard a voice.

"Ugh!" Rage moaned while rubbing his back "No wonder you two love each other, you are one violent heck of a couple. Ouch! I'll be downstairs washing up and making breakfast if you need me".

The two watched Rage leave and were kind of intrigued by his attitude. No yelling? No ranting? Joking after being suspected and getting his ass kicked? It was a pleasant sight to see and a good change that suited him.

"Robin what has happened? Why was Rage above you and holding you down?" Starfire asked while looking at his wounded face.

"It's all my fault, I thought you and him ... I thought you fell for him and I was jealous thinking that he made you do this so I wanted to hurt him but he cleared things up".

"I did not fall for him Robin, I love you and only you and I would never do anything to hurt you. I am so glad to see you are back to your former kind self" she replied while hugging him tightly.

"Star, I want to apologize for the way I acted last night. I said things I truly regret and I don't know if you can forgive me but I'm sorry and hope that you will still love me and accept me. I'm sorry princess".

"You must not apologize, for in my heart I have never felt wrong towards you. Even when I have given you the slap it was because I was confused. I now understand why you reacted that way and it was not your fault. I love you and will love you until the end of time"

"Till death do us part" Robin replied, pulling Starfire towards him gently and kissing her.

The kiss felt like their first one. Sudden, spontaneous, full of passion, innocent and full of forgiveness.

After they separated they stared into each others eyes and Starfire's face lighted up with happiness.

"I'm so glad we worked this whole thing out" said Robin

"The feeling is likewise" she replied. Starfire's smile suddenly turned to a normal expression as if she had something on her mind. "Robin, I must tell you something very important and I hope that you will be just as happy as me about this news".

Robin was surprised and was caught on the wrong foot. What news could she probably bring him that would make him even happier then he already was?

"Yes, you can tell me, what is it?" he asked with a calm voice

"It is not easy for me to say it, but ... Do you remember the night of the eclipse and of the shower of meteors?" she asked

Robin did in fact remember that night; it was the night they first truly 'got together'.

"Of course I do, it was one of our most special moments together. How could I forget?! It was wonderful."

"Indeed it was, but do you also recall before the communicator alarm rang that I tried to tell you something?"

"Yes I do, why do you ask?"

"Well … I wanted to let you know something of great importance but I did not get to tell you and you must know this right now" she said and got up on her knees. Robin did the same and Starfire held his hands. "You see, after such an act occurs, a Tamarnean girl becomes a woman and also a glorious thing happens to us"

Robin didn't understand what she was saying but soon realized and started to breath heavily.

"Starfire, what are you trying to say?" he asked in confusion

Starfire took Robin's hand and placed it on her lower stomach. He felt like something was there and he was instantly stunned. Facing Starfire with his mouth wide open and turning crimson, he didn't know what to say.

With a warm smile on her face, with joy and happiness in he heart and tears in her eyes Starfire told Robin what was happening.

"Robin, I am going to have your baby. You will be a father and I will be a mother".
