I'm sure that you are tired of me apologizing for not updating but I really am sorry. I just have no time.

Chapter 20

Starfire's heart skipped a beat when she heard the beeping from the heart monitor start up again. She turned around and to her unbelievable joy the line on the monitor was moving. Robin was alive. Starfire's feet left the ground from all of her happiness and she flew over to Robin's bedside. Her tears of sadness were replaced with tears of joy.

Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg just stood in the infirmary doorway staring completely shocked.

"How is it possible?" Raven asked.

Cyborg scratched his head in puzzlement before saying, "I'm not sure it is. The antidote I made must have had a delayed effect on him".

Robin then slowly opened his masked eyes that were no longer glowing and looked up at Starfire.

"Star?" he said quietly.

"Robin!" Starfire cried.

Starfire gave Robin a huge hug forcing him to sit up on the infirmary bed. Robin winced due to his injuries but hugged her back. When they pulled away they exchanged a loving kiss then looked endearingly at each other.

"Well looks like everything is back to normal," said Beast Boy happily.

A week later Robin was allowed to leave the infirmary. He was completely cured of the toxic chemicals in his body and now only had his bandaged up injuries to heal. Luckily he didn't have any broken bones.

Since he was still healing he stayed at the tower whenever there was trouble in the city. He didn't like it but was finally convinced by his friends that it was for the best.

Starfire started to notice that Robin was isolating himself and staying in his room. She tried to keep him company but he always seemed to want to be alone. One day Starfire was looking for him and found him in his room. He had a suitcase on his bed and was packing his clothes and other belongings into it.

Starfire looked surprised and walked over to him. "Robin what are you doing?"

"Packing," he said simply without looking up at her.

"You are going on another quest?" Star asked.

Robin sighed before saying. "I'm leaving the team".

"What?! But why?" Starfire asked horrified.

Robin finally looked up at her and she noticed a tear fall down his cheek. "What do you mean why? How could I stay here after everything I put our friends, the city, and worst of all you through?".

Robin turned away from her and Starfire put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Robin none of us gives you the blame for what you have done. We all know that you did not have any control over what you were doing".

Robin turned back around and looked at her sadly. "Star don't make this any harder than it already is. My mind is made up".

Knowing that it was impossible to talk Robin out of something Starfire lowered her head and sadly walked out of the door.

"Dude he's leaving?!" Beast Boy asked completely shocked.

Tears rolled down Starfire's cheeks as she nodded. She had called a meeting with Raven, BB and Cyborg in the main room to tell them the depressing news.

"But we just got him back, how could he do this to us?!" Cyborg said outraged.

"He feels that he has put us through too much to stay," Starfire said trying her best not to break down. Despite everything that had happened she was going to lose the one she loved anyway.

Suddenly the toaster that was on the counter behind them turned black with magic and exploded. Everyone jumped in surprise and looked at Raven. She put her hood over her head and turned away mumbling "Sorry".

Starfire didn't want her friends to see her crying anymore so she went over to the kitchen area to make some of her Tamaranian pudding of sadness. Beast Boy and Cyborg went to play video games as a failed attempt to get their minds off things. Raven just sat on the sofa to concentrate on keeping her emotions under control.

A few minutes later the sound of the automatic doors opening up caused everyone to looked up. Robin had entered the room without his suitcase.

"Robin none of us or anyone in the city is angry at you for what you did. Everyone knows that you couldn't control yourself," Raven said quickly.

"I know, that's why I've decided to stay," Robin said smiling.

Raven smiled while Beast Boy and Cyborg threw their fists in the air shouting "Wahoo!".

Starfire dropped the bowl she was holding and flew over to Robin as fast as she could and gave him a hug. She flew at him so fast that the force knocked Robin to the ground. He didn't care and looked up at Starfire who was on her hands and knees above him. The exchanged a loving kiss and pulled away smiling at each other.

They weren't going to lose their leader anytime soon.
