Disclaimer: Still don't own teen titans :|


Marriage is a roller coaster ride, some would say. Not everything would be the fairytale happily ever after we all think it would be. Let's face it, this is reality not like in those soppy chick flicks we watch were the guy always gets the girl and they'd live happily every after with no problems, if you believe in that get ready to be bitch slapped on your face by the truth. Reality makes you realize that this isn't so easy. Something Robin and Starfire is about to realize.

1 year and 3 months into their marriage and already they have a ton to argue about. Robin always complain about how Starfire gets in his way of work and Starfire complains how he's always so stubborn and hard headed which makes the two break out in an argument but there was this one argument that almost took them apart that their friends needed to step in and knock some sense into their both over acting brains.

Flashback

Robin exhaustedly stepped in the study room where all his files were. Another stressful day at work and it was already a week and still they had no idea where to find the hide out of the drug syndicate they were asked to shut down. There were no leads or idea where the leader was, he'd gotten a message that files were mailed to him but nothing arrived at his desk or at home. Tired, he sat down and sighed. Robin's desk was clean and organized; something tells him Starfire was in the study again to fix his things that would later be disorganized when he worked on them. He didn't fail to notice a brown envelope on the corner of his desk, this was new he thought as he reached for it.

Received on April 28 was written on it.

That was a week ago, why couldn't he have opened this? He hurriedly opened it and scanned the documents. They were the files he needed to find the drug syndicate and stop their crimes. There was a problem though. According to the files there is going to be a major distribution of the drugs in an abandoned warehouse by the pier on April 30. That information enraged him, he had missed the date and one chance because it was already May 2. Anger flowed through his veins as he slammed the document on the table.

"STARFIRE!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The woman ran to the study, fearing something had happened to her husband but she was met with a frustrated Robin who was clutching what was now useless files in his hand. "Why didn't you tell me about this document?" He asked, trying to control his anger. "Robin… I-I…w-w- well…" She stuttered and fiddled with her fingers. "This was very valuable information and because of your ignorance I missed my chance on finally shutting down the drug syndicate! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS?" He shouted at her face and slammed a hand on the wall beside them. Starfire couldn't take it anymore, no one shouts at her face. "I did tell you about this but all you did was slam the door at my face and stayed up here all night! And I am not ignorant! You're just a rude, ungrateful and egotistic bastard!" She shouted back and an argument erupted.

"Now you're saying it's my fault? You could've told me the next morning or something!" He shouted back at her. "I am not your assistant or your secretary Robin; I had to leave for work early. Incase you forgot, which you did by the way, that morning was very important to me because they gave me a very important field report something you didn't even bother to watch." Starfire retorted. "Who cares about your stupid field report about the Merrie Monarch festival? This document is now useless, the syndicate is still rampant on selling dangerous drugs just because you have this useless field report about some stupid festival!" Robin shouted back.

There was silence between the two. He heard sobs and tears came from Starfire's eyes. He crossed the line this time.

He is so screwed.

Starfire dashed out of the study and into their room. Robin collapsed on his office chair, thinking about what he had said to her. 'Nice going Robin. Why'd you call her stupid and useless? You've really done it now' He told himself, mentally kicking his ass. When he realized that it was his fault all along he went down the hall only to be met by a crying Starfire, carrying her luggage down the stairs. "Where are you going?" He asked. "I'm leaving. I'm too stupid and useless to be here." She snapped at him. Robin chased her downstairs as the maids carried her things into her car. "Look I'm sorry, can you just put your things back. Don't leave!" He told her but she ignored.

"There's a line between pissing me off and just plainly getting me angry and believe me you're way across that line." She told him with a glare. Robin ran to the door and prevented her from leaving. "Look I said I was sorry! Geez woman don't be so bitchy about it!" He told her. Uh oh, another mistake he made. Starfire pushed him away, the force made him fall back and before he could run out and stop her, the car screeched and sped out the gate. "Fuck." He cursed.

End of flashback

That was the worst fight they had. Starfire stayed at Raven's house for nearly a week and the friends were desperate to fix them. Due to desperate measures, efforts from both of them and the fact that they were beyond scared of Raven's temper, Robin apologized and Starfire moved in. Soon they acted like a normal happy couple, like the fight had only been a bad dream.

Robin now sat down on the couch, flipping through the channels and waiting for Starfire to get home so they could enjoy a nice romantic dinner. His phone beeped and saw a message from Starfire: Hey honey, I'm going to be home late so don't bother waiting for me. Have dinner and sleep. Love you.

He sighed and turned the T.V off. He made his way to the kitchen when his cell phone rang. "Hello, Robin on the line." He said. "There's a bank robbery by the bay, you're the nearest. We'll back you up as soon as we get there." Then the line went dead. Robin immediately hopped into his car and sped off.

Starfire was just packing her things and got ready to head home. "Starfire, there's a bank robbery by the bay. Cover it." Her boss told her. "Ted! Get ready for the late night news update." He then told the anchor. She sighed and went with the rest of her team in the van. They head for the bay bank. She texted Robin about covering the news and set her phone down because they've arrived at the scene.

His phone beeped and saw it was only Starfire. He didn't have time to read her message as he arrived in the scene. There were a few police cars surrounding the entrance of the bank. "What's the information?" Robin asked an officer. "Probably about 4 robbers, 5 bank tellers and 4 customers. They only have pistols as weapons." He informed Robin. "Pistols, not much but still it's deadly. Cover me while I go through the back." Robin told them as he pulled out his gun.

Starfire positioned herself on an opening by the side where it was clear of police cars but still near to the scene. "We're on in 3,2,1…" The camera man told her. "Good evening everybody. We are now here at the scene of a bank robbery in the bay bank…" She started.

Robin kicked open the back door of the bank and sneaked in with 3 police officers behind him. He stopped them and reviewed the scene. There were 4 robbers like what they told him. One was by the door, two were staying near the customers and the other one was pointing a gun at a teller who was nervously placing money on the bag. Gun shots were heard, followed by screaming people. Robin and the other police entered the vicinity where Robin had just shot 3 of the robbers and disabled them from firing anymore shots. He took out his phone. "The other one by the door had escaped, stop him!" He told his fellow Five-Os as he helped the victims in the bank.

"Gun shots! We're now hearing gun shots in the bank. It may have come from the robbers or the police, we don't know yet." Starfire said facing the camera. There were more gun shots but this time it came from the outside. Unknown to her, the 4th robber was racing down the street, trying not to get hit. He saw an opening by the side where Starfire stood.

Starfire was continuously reporting when someone grabbed her from behind and pointed a gun on her head. She screamed as the robber pulled her to face the police officers. "Please don't." She said as she desperately gasped for air. "Put the gun down and let the woman go." An officer warned. "If I do, I'll go to jail. I don't want to. Now put your guns down, maybe give me a car so I can escape and she will not be harmed." The man behind her told the police. He began dragging her to the nearby car.


Robin's phone rang again. "Robin, you need to get out of there now!" one of his co-workers, Steve, said. "Why what's wrong?" He asked. "A news reporter is now taken as hostage." Steve informed him. "You guys can handle that; I'll be out in a minute or two." Robin told them. "You don't understand… the news reporter is Starfire." Steve said then the line went dead. Robin gave no second thoughts; he rushed outside and saw the scene, a man with a gun to Starfire's head as she was obviously gasping for air. Adrenaline and rage surged through her body as he approached cautiously.

"Robin!" Starfire managed to shout. "Let her go!" Robin shouted pointing a gun at the man. "Whoa there buddy, all I need is a get away car and she's free to go." He told them. He pulled Starfire with him as he reached an available police car. He began to open it. "You have your car, now just let her go." Robin said calmly, nearing robber now turned hostage taker. And it's as if it all happened so fast. The man pushed Starfire in the car and drove away. Robin fired multiple shots but the effort was futile. He immediately hopped in his car and sped off chasing the police car.

Starfire was crying in the back seat, not knowing what to do. "Where are you taking me? Why didn't you just let me go?" She asked. "We didn't get the money tonight and I'm a desperate man. I could take you and give a ransom or… sell you to syndicates around the island. A pretty girl like you could make good money." The man answered. "You'll be sorry for this… my husband is a Five-O. He'll find you and kill you." She warned him but the man just laughed at the thought. Just then gun shots were fired from the black car behind them. Starfire looked back and saw Robin speeding after them. "Like I said… he'll catch you and beat the shit out of you." She said to the man with a smirk.

Robin kept shooting at car in front of him, desperate to rescue Starfire. Finally he managed to blow a tire and the car began to swerve. Out of control, it crashed through the barrier and nose dived into the bay. "Shit." He cursed as his car screeched to a halt. He got out of the car and dove into the bay.

Starfire screamed as the car hit the water. "Nice going Robin but there's one problem. I don't know how to swim!" She thought to her self as water slowly flooded the car. She tried to open the door but the pressure prevented her. Starfire looked around and saw the man who took her as hostage was knocked out from the impact. She took a deep breath as water finally flooded the remaining areas of the car. With all her strength, she tried to push the door open but it won't budge. She desperately tried not to panic luckily a familiar figure pulled open the door and pulled her out.

Starfire clung to Robin as they swam up to the surface. They were both breathing heavily as Robin took her to dry land. Once on land they were enveloped on a tight embrace, lying on the pavement soaking wet. "I thought I almost lost you." He said, holding her tightly. She looked at him and captured his lips on hers. The officers cheered them on as the couple shared a passionate kiss despite the fact that they were soaking wet lying on the cold hard road.

After checking Starfire's vitals and making sure that the robbers were on their way to jail. Robin and Starfire made their way home. After that romantic dinner, Robin headed for the study as Starfire got ready for bed. He contemplated on how he almost lost Starfire that night and how he couldn't save her from all the dangers.

"Damn I can't afford to lose her. I almost did and I could've prevented that." He thought while he rocked his chair back and forth. "It's that damn job of hers, putting her on the field in harms way. She needs to drop it." He added to the trail of thoughts going through his mind.

Starfire stepped in the room and hugged him from behind. Robin rubbed her arms and sighed. "What's wrong Robin?" She asked, sensing that something was troubling her husband. "Come on, whatever happened to no secrets?" She added. "It's just that… I nearly lost you today. That was a horrifying experience I don't want us to live through again." He finally told her. "It's okay, things happen what's important is that I'm still here, we're still here." She comforted him. Robin went out of her embrace and looked at the floor. "You don't understand. I couldn't protect you out there! I should've but I didn't and I let that man harass you and kidnap you right in front of my eyes." Robin said slamming his hands on the desk. "And… you shouldn't have been there!" He added. "I was asked to report, what was I supposed to do?" Starfire asked, remaining calm.

"You could've said no." Robin snapped. "I can't say no! He's my boss and if I did I'd get fired from my job!" She said raising her voice a little, fearing another argument might start. "Then quit your job! It puts you in harms way!" He shouted. They reached the point of no return now. "I can't just quit my job! How do you expect to pay the bills? Plus I've worked so hard and I'm almost there to get the anchor position." Starfire said, crossing her arms. "My salary is enough to pay everything! You can just stay here and be safe. How can you love your job that nearly gets you killed?" He told her, stomping around the room.

Starfire couldn't believe this, they were fighter over something stupid again. She shouted in frustration. "Why can't you understand that I can't quit my job just because of one incident? It won't happen again." She pointed out. "I can't understand how you can keep that job of yours!" He shouted, full on which pissed of Starfire. "Can't I say the same to yours? I mean, you have a bigger chance of getting killed while chasing some lunatic!" She told him to get back at all the insults he said about her job. "At least I'm trained to not get killed instead of helplessly getting hostage by some guys with a freaking pistol!" Robin shouted out again.

"I'm not having this conversation anymore. You're free to sleep in the couch tonight." Starfire said, walking out of the study and into their room. Robin stormed after her, "We're not finished with this discussion Starfire. I want you to quit your job tomorrow morning!" He said. "I don't want to quit my job; you can't make me because you don't have valid reasons to!" Starfire said. "Damn it woman! Why are you so fucking stubborn?" He asked, obviously pissed off because he started swearing but two could play at that game.

"Why are you so egotistical?" Starfire asked, annoyingly. "I am not!" He exclaimed. "Yes you are! I know why you want me to quit my job. It's because you couldn't save me awhile ago and that hurt your ego big time. Poor little Five-O he couldn't save his wife how the hell can he save everyone else?" She teased. "Just shut up bitch!" he shouted.

Robin was so angry and he wasn't able to control it. He grabbed the nearest thing he could and threw it, nearly hitting Starfire on the head. The frame smashed on the wall and the broken pieces fell on the wooden floor. Starfire gasped at his sudden action. Sure they had gotten into fights but never did he try to hurl something at her. "Bitch huh? Then maybe… maybe you don't love me at all fucking bastard…" She said with bitterness in her voice. "Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never the missing part of me!" Robin shouted at her, still angry. That did it for Starfire, her tears streaming down her face. She went to her closet and started to pack her things.

Realizing what he said, Robin mentally cursed and just stepped out. He punched the wall so hard that it had a dent. He stormed into his study and stayed there, regretting all the words that came out of his mouth. He heard the door of their room close.

"Maybe I should just apologize to her, and stop her from leaving."

Then her light foot steps went down the stairs.

"Then again, she called me egotistical."

The front door opens.

"But still… she can't really leave? Can she?"

The car's engine starts.

"Just stand up and stop her Robin!"

The front door closes and the car leaves.

"She'll come back. I know she will come back by the end of this week."

But Robin was wrong, she didn't come back. In fact she was nowhere to be found. Robin asked their friends where she was but even they were angry at him for going too far and hurting her too much. All her things were gone and the only thing she left was a note:

"If I'm really not the missing part of your love, let me go, and search for someone who is. It's less painful this way... Let us go on our separate ways and search for our own partners."

With the note was the puzzle piece he gave her the night after their wedding. Robin stared at the piece feeling so stupid about everything that had happen.

"You did it this time Robin. You finally lost someone whom you truly loved. She's right! You're this rude, ungrateful, egotistical, stupid bastard." He told himself as he tried to sleep. But he couldn't because every time he did he'd see Starfire. First it was a dream of her… them being happy like the way they were before then it turns into a nightmare where Starfire dies and he can't do anything. Robin would end up waking with sweat all over his body.
