What I do
With words
TITANS TOWER
It was 11:30 or so at night. On the top floor, the bedroom level, Robin walked out of Starfire's room, zipping his fly as he closed the door. In the bathroom, sighing and letting the water run over her supple body, was Starfire. Quite the sight she was, glistening and naked in the dim light the solitary lamp supplied. She savored the simple cleansing feeling of the water washing over her, running her hands over her body, across her stomach, up her arms, behind her neck, across her chest, and betwixt her beautiful, long legs. Quite the sight she was, for no one but herself.
Or so she thought.
Stepping out of the shower moments later, with not but a towel wrapped tightly around her curving form, she started towards her bed, hoping to sleep. Feeling a draft, she moved towards the window, to close it. Then she froze. A startling realization made her jump. The window was open. When robin left and she went to shower, it had been closed. On her toes, she bent over the windowsill, and peered out into the night.
"Excuse me, who is there, please?" she called, hoping for an answer. When no answer called, she leaned back inside and closed the window. Turning around, she yelped. Standing in the open doorway, casually leaning against the frame was the man she knew only as Red X. for a moment, she considered her options. Attack was the obvious first choice. Red X was the source of much pain for her at one point in her life. But as moments passed, she also considered the times Red X had saved more than one member of her team and family. Deciding to proceed cautiously but aggressively, she addressed him.
"Tell me now what you want here." She demanded, in a stern authoritative tone that she picked up on her time on earth as a criminal negotiator to the super-villain type. X snickered shortly, and advanced into the room, coolly and unthreateningly.
"Loosen up, toots. I just got here. Let me relax." He looked around the room, glancing in the bathroom, checking for Robin, or so Starfire guessed. As he assessed his surroundings, Starfire took the time to observe him. He was bigger than when she last saw him, more broad in the shoulders and deeper in the voice. If that IS his actual voice… she thought to herself. She noticed a lack of cape and overall a lack of anything besides his belt and mask. No gauntlets, no helmet, no weapons. She decided to assume that he wasn't here for a fight. Immediately following this decision she couldn't help wondering what he was here for. As if to read her mind, he turned to her, giving her a quick look-over. She could feel his eyes all over her. What startled her was that she didn't mind.
"So…" X began. He looked downwards, then at the ceiling, thoughtfully. "Starfire, was it?" he asked. She only nodded in reply, unsure how to act around him. He walked over to her, then only 5 feet away from her. Accompanied by what she could only guess would be raised eyebrows, he said, "You've grown." Suddenly she became very aware of key areas of her own body. Still very unsure about the situation, she replied,
"…So have you?" with a tone of mild uncertainty. He made an exaggerated movement with his hands, and said,
"Aw… You're makin' me blush." Quickly, he added, "You know, when I came to visit, I REALLY didn't expect such an involved conversation." He said, lightening up the mood significantly. Starfire, always very susceptible to the presence or absence of tension, smiled and laughed lightly. She started to allow herself to feel more comfortable around this 'Red X' that she thought she had known. He spoke again. "How's the team? I don't have time to visit everyone." He said.
"We are all very happy." She said, optimistically, as was her nature. "Beast boy seems less annoying-oop!" she seemed to think she made a blunder, talking about her friend like that. It made X chuckle. "Also, raven I think is feeling less of the depressed…" she paused, and said, in a whisper, "I expect the two of them are having the relationship and do not wish to tell us." X laughed and leaned in, replying in a hushed tone,
"That is so surprising." With what little information Starfire knew of about sarcasm she applied and made the connection that Red X knew this development was inevitable. She continued,
"Cyborg is always occupied with the computer net and games, and Robin-…" She faded, and for reasons unknown to her, wished for Red X not to know about her and robin. X straightened up.
"Aaahhhh, Robin. Robin, Robin, Robin Robin." He looked clearly thoughtful for a moment or two, and then switched focuses immediately back to Starfire. Walking inconspicuously forward, he looked over her shoulder out into the night sky. "Well, it looks like I gotta go." He said, observing a single point in the sky fixedly. Curious, Starfire turned, looking in the same direction. She heard a click, and felt a maskless presence over the back of her shoulder. In her ear she heard his voice, a telling whisper, his words holding more intent than any she had ever heard.
"See you later." as she felt his warm breath on the back of her neck and his hand resting lightly on his waist, Goosebumps crawled across her body pleasurably. She rubbed her arms to warm herself, feeling excited and anxious at the same time. But as she turned around to keep him from leaving so soon, he had vanished.
