Hey y'all. I only got a few reviews for the last chapter, so if y'all want me to post any more, ya gotta review!
The next day, I woke up before everyone else, so I decided to make breakfast for everybody. I got out the eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuit mix, and the tofu kind for Beast Boy. Starfire came into the kitchen before the others did. I avoided her eyes, and continued without a word. She approached me, and when I still did not look up at her, she spoke to me.
"I am sorry for yelling at you yesterday. We were all very upset that Robin escaped. Beast Boy came to me last night and explained what had happened. Robin did not want you to tell us what he told you. Why not? Are you sure that he meant what he said? I do not understand why Robin would do something like this."
I looked Starfire straight in the eyes, making sure that she understood what I said.
"Look, all I can tell you is that he told me not to tell you or the other Titans what he said. Just, if we do face him again -and I'm sure we will- don't hold back. Pretend that it s Slade or Plasmus there, not Robin. Now, just forget about it and help me set the table."
I said no more to her for a while. Eventually, the other Titans came into the kitchen. I heard Cyborg mumbling, and then he said something about something smelling really good. Beast Boy offered to help with the cooking, but I didn't need anymore tofu than I already had. I guess everyone liked breakfast: no one complained, and they all cleaned their plates, but they still did not say a word to me; showing that they were still mad. Once I had cleared the table, I got dressed and went for yet another walk down to the shore. I was trying to decide when I was going to leave. I knew that I couldn't stay much longer.
Back in the Tower, the Titan alert sounded again, and we found ourselves faced against Robin for the second time. This time around, I hit him with everything that I had. I had to take my anger out on someone, and Robin was the villain there, so you get the picture. He had some new weapons this time: a laser and something else, I couldn't tell what it was, so he wasn't as easy to fight off. We were on top of a building, and then Starfire and Robin came face to face.
"Robin, you are my best friend, and I do not want to fight you."
Robin actually responded to this. He got his laser ready to fire.
"Get back Starfire. Get away from me."
"If you are truly evil, then do what you must", and with this, Starfire let down her guard and got ready for the blast.
"Starfire, no." Robin was about to fire, but then held back. Seconds later, without warning everyone except for Robin and me started glowing and moaning. Starfire collapsed, and Robin caught her. I saw Beast Boy falling from the air.
"Beast Boy!" I flew to catch him, just as he was about to hit the ground. I was furious!
"ROBIN, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING? WHAT IS GOING IN WITH YOU? YOU'RE NOT THE KIND OF GUY I THOUGHT YOU WERE!" I screamed at him, while trying to find some way to stop this whole thing.
I heard him yell to no one in particular, "No, stop. Please stop!"
Seconds passed, and then the whole glowy-hurty thing stopped. Robin laid Starfire down, aimed his laser, said "I'm sorry", and fired.
I guess Starfire wasn't that badly affected by the blast, because she got up just a little shaky afterwards.
"He's getting away!" I shouted. This time, we followed him through the city. Unfortunately though, he was too good for us- or so we thought. We lost him when he seemingly disappeared over a brick fence, but I found a torn piece of his outfit on a jagged piece of brick on one of the street corners.
"He went this way" I pointed out.
Eventually, we found the place where Robin was staying with Slade. Cyborg blasted through the wall and we all got ready to fight. Of course, Slade was ready. He pressed a button and the whole glowy thingy started again. Then Robin did something that I'd never expect; he went over to what looked like a misshapen fence post and grabbed hold of it. It looked like it shocked him or something, but when he let go he started glowing like everyone else. I was totally confused!
"Ok, why is everyone except me glowing again?"
Then Robin spoke to Slade.
"New deal, Slade: I loose my friends; you loose your apprentice. And I know how you hate to loose."
After he said this, Slade gave him this furious look, and threw down the trigger that controlled the glowy thingy. Everything stopped. Everybody got up and all of us including Robin got ready to fight Slade. To make a long story short: WE KICKED SLADE'S BUTT!
Back at Titans Tower, we were getting rid of the probes that were inside the Titans bloodstreams. I know, that sounds, like, totally disgusting, but it s true. Remember the laser that was supposedly a dud? Well what it did was blast them with nanoscopic probes that, when activated and not stopped, would destroy them from the inside out. It took a while, but eventually, everyone was probe-free. I know that B.B. was happy- with his little dance and all. He cracks me up. This time, Robin was with us at the Tower. Everyone was happy to have him back. He and I told the others what had been going on. He told them that he had become Slade's apprentice to keep him from activating the probes, and I told them that Robin had told me that. I explained that I wanted to respect his wishes, so I kept it a secret. The Titans apologized for blaming me and yelling at me. Although they really meant it, I still couldn't help thinking that Raven had a problem with me for some reason. I don't know what I did to her, but every time I'd start a conversation with someone, she'd give me this look of pure hatred. I never did anything to her! I guess she just doesn't like new people. I'm not even staying, for crying out loud! Oh well, I guess I'll never know why she hates me, because I was about to tell the Titans that I was planning on leaving the next morning. I called everyone's attention, and told them the news.
"Uh, excuse me everyone. I know that y'all are real happy and all, but I need to tell y'all something. As much as I appreciate you all letting me stay here for the night, I can't stay any longer. I'm planning to leave tomorrow morning to find my way back to my home."
I paused and waited for a reaction. Boy, did I get one.
"WHAT! But...but...but...but, I thought that you were gonna stay a few more nights and let us help you!" exclaimed Beast Boy.
"You are leaving? Again, I cannot have my new friend wandering around and not know where she is going!" protested Starfire.
"Yeah Sarah, we thought that you would stay with us until we found you a way home. I mean, it s no problem", said Robin, "plus, you've been a great help to the team", he added with a smile.
I blushed and smiled back. I think Beast Boy was right: Robin really did seem to like me. He was so sweet, and he cared about everyone. I loved him again. (Of course, no one else knew that.) However, I also had a feeling that Beast Boy liked me as more than a friend. Yeah, weird, but I was afraid to ask. Beast Boy had been so sweet to me lately. He was always complimenting me, and he loved to talk to me. I felt like I had known him my whole life. I loved it! The more guy friends, the better!
Oh, all right! You've convinced me again! I'll stay, but as soon as I find the way, I'm going home. Don't worry, though: I'll leave y'all my number, I teased. In the mean time, why don't we all just sit down and watch a movie, I added. Everyone agreed.
"Horror?" Again, everyone agreed. Horror it was! We all sat down to a great movie that Beast Boy had picked out: Wicked Scary.
"You know this movie is cursed, and once you watch it, weird things start happening."
Beast Boy was trying to scare us.
"Just start the movie." Raven told him.
I had to cover my eyes for a few parts. Eventually, I found Beast Boy s arm and held onto it when I needed to. I could tell that he didn't mind at all. That was the scariest movie I had ever seen! Ok, I'd seen Pet Semetary, Pet Semetary II, The Shining, Carrie, Silent Predators, The Exorcist, Psycho, Child's Play, The Grudge, The Ring, Boogeyman, Sixth Sense, Poltergeist, The Hangman's Curse, and Tremors, but this was the scariest movie out of all of them! It was so much like a classic horror film. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought that; everyone started cracking up after the movie ended. It was classic. You know, the whole monster-in-the-basement-and-the-girl-doesn't-know-it s-behind-her thing.
Robin said, "I've fought psychotic villains, robot commandoes, and giant oozing monsters, but that is the scariest thing I have ever seen."
Everyone admitted that they were scared -including me. When we asked Raven, however, she said, "I don't do fear", and turned her back to us.
During the movie, it had started storming, and a few minutes after the movie ended, the lights went out. Cyborg luckily had a built-in flashlight, so he turned it on and we could see again! I waved my finger and got myself a flashlight.
"The storm just knocked out the power, right?" I asked nervously. I looked at Robin. What I saw freaked me out. There was a tentacle lying on his shoulder.
"Okay, Beast Boy. You got us, enough fooling around." Robin said as he brushed off the tentacle. Beast Boy answered.
"Uh, dude? I'm right here."
Beast Boy rose up in front of Robin. We all looked behind Robin and saw the monster from Wicked Scary! It had mouths all over its body, and each one had hundreds of razor-sharp teeth. I froze in terror. I didn't know what to do.
