I'm gonna keep this pace up, I can afford to in terms of time cuz
They're only like what, 1500 words an installment? BTW I don't say
chapter on purpose. It'll end up being 2-3 installments to a chapter.
Hopefully.
One per day.
Just for you guys.
Because I love you for reading my work.
--AND WITH THIS I COMMENCE --
Starfire was asleep, but her mind was still active and focused on Red
X. Her eyes twitched under her closed lids, her body moved slightly.
She was dreaming.
She was with the Titans, on what seemed like a mission, but slower, as in the world was slowed down, time was slowed down. They were stopping a bank robbery, she knew. As they flew from the tower into jump city, she noticed that all over the city streets and buildings were large, red X's sprayed in brilliantly shining paint.
She looked at her teammates, one by one, but no one seemed to notice. She asked them in a soundless voice if they could see the X's everywhere. Each of them looked at her, blankly, and ignored her. She wondered why was she the only one? As they neared the bank, she saw multiple faceless adversaries pouring out of the bank with bags of money. On the crowded street, no one seemed to care. They went about their business as usual. Police cars would pass and keep going.
Casually, the Titans entered the bank, looking for a ring leader for the circus of crime that no one even saw besides themselves.
They split up, each going in a different direction. Starfire, heading up a long staircase, eventually came to a shining room, filled with gold. In the center, with his back faced to her, was the leader. She knew he was the maestro to this orchestra, she knew. She advanced on him, ready to fight, and grabbed his shoulder to turn him around, but when she pulled, he didn't move. She stepped back and told him to face her. When he did, her heart skipped a beat. Standing before her was a man dressed entirely in black, save for the bright red X emblazoned proudly on his chest. There was no mask that she could recognize, or even a face. Where his face would be was mysteriously enshrouded in shadow. He extended a hand to her, and she took it without hesitation. The scenery changed as the bank turned instantaneously into her first home, Tamaran. She was lying on her back, on a grand bed, adorned with the finest silks and threads. On top of her was the same man. She felt pleasure all over. Waves of bodily satisfaction struck her again and again. As the room grew brighter and brighter, whiteness enveloped her vision as the last and strongest pulse of bliss washed over her.
She awoke with the sun on her face, blushing hotly.
Mostly keeping to herself for the beginning of the day, Starfire spent some time on much-needed introspection. Why was she thinking about Red X so much? Why did she have that dream? Why was she feeling increasingly distant from Robin? Was she getting bored with him?
Most of these questions lead her to the same answer – she was having feelings for Red X. whether they were love, lust, or even curiosity, she didn't have the slightest idea. What she really had to address was how she was going to deal with these feelings. Should she embrace them? Her first impulse was yes; she should always be true to herself. That was how she tried to live her life. But then, she thought of Robin and her team. Was she being selfish?
Then, she started to doubt the seriousness of her feelings. Maybe she was just bored and there wasn't enough crime or drama to keep her preoccupied. Maybe- WEOOO! WEOOO! WEOOO! WEOOO! WEOOO! WEOOO! The alarm sounded. Robin addressed the team.
"TITANS! There's been a robbery!"
