Chapter Eleven-Feelings

Robin could not hold back the throaty moan as he slammed his eyes shut and shifted forward as much as possible. The level of pleasure was like nothing he'd ever felt and even though he hated how he was reacting, it was inevitable. The pulsating from below started to subside and he laid there spent and panting hard.

"See, that wasn't so bad. You did exceptionally well," Alaia said as she looked over the sample she had just extracted. Robin's senses were starting to come back and he felt disgusted. "I will have to make certain your diet is able to sustain the high demand this will have on your body." He let out a tired noise. "Now you're still too tense, you need to relax." He let out a shaky breath. "That's better," She proceeded to remove a device from his urethra slowly and received a whimper in return. " I believe we will start with one extraction a day and once your body gets used to it we can increase from there." She glanced up to see if he was listening to her.

"Are you done yet," He sounded hoarse and a little annoyed.

"It's okay once I get you all cleaned up you can sleep and then I will get you something you can eat." If this was her attempt to be nice it was pathetic. It sounded like she was talking to a pet. She continued to clean the delicate skin making sure to be thorough. Despite her efforts to be gentle it was clear that this part of the process was also uncomfortable for him. Once she was finished, Robin felt the chair begin to move as it brought his legs down and had him sitting up now. The thin paper sheet was put back in place over his lower half giving him some decency. The exhaustion was hitting him hard now and he just wanted to sleep. "I'll have my android get you settled back in your..." The lights began to flicker in the room and she turned just in time to see two individuals standing behind her. The pale one could actually pass as being from Rann while the other was obviously a Tamaranean. She knew exactly who they were and stood from her seat. "You can't be here..." Starfire was still unsatisfied with the fight she just came from as she launched herself at Alaia. She knocked over the cart of instruments and the vile she had just collected. It shattered in the scuffle. It was obvious Alaia was not a fighter and was unable to hold off Star's assault.

"No, Starfire...stop. What are you doing," Raven's flat tone revealed she had no intention of stopping her friend. When the android moved in to assist his master Raven didn't even move as the android was pulled apart by her black force.

"Get off of me, you simpleton!" Starfire was pulling her by her hair. She appeared as though she had no control over herself. She finally released her and moved away to give her some space. "Now there is a perfectly obvious explanation for all of this..." She was cut off when a black wave of energy knocked her to the floor. Bewildered, she glanced up looking for what hit her. Starfire was the first to approach Robin, somewhat at a loss for words. Her sister was right she had never seen him like this. He was always so put together but was quite the opposite of that now. His hair was disheveled and he seemed out of it almost as though he was drugged.

Raven silently floated over to Alaia, getting dangerously close to her. Her mind reached into her head and was able to see some of what she had done to Robin earlier.

"You hurt my friend...no one hurts my friends." Without saying anything else another black wave knocked her against the wall. Raven remained where she was for a minute to make sure she wasn't getting back up before she heard Starfire behind her.

"Robin?" His eyelids fluttered and he attempted to look up at her. She reached over and touched his face. He leaned into her palm, his mouth brushing against her skin. She started turning bright orange in response and moved quickly to break the restraints holding him down. She went to pull the sheet off and immediately let out a squeak of embarrassment before flying behind Raven.

"Is there a problem?"

"Robin is um naked?" This information made even Raven blush.

Uh well,...why is that a problem for you? I would think you'd be okay with something like that. You two are dating after all, right?" Starfire shook her head blushing even more.

"It is not the same. He is not awake and I don't have permission. We certainly are not betrothed," she continued to sputter causing Raven to roll her eyes.

"Okay, Okay," Raven's cloak suddenly moved independently. It came off her shoulders and wrapped around Robin, covering him up. They both moved over still somewhat cautiously and Raven was careful to remove any of the equipment still attacked before Starfire lifted him from the chair. He let out a soft groan in response as she shifted him in her arms. Raven quickly teleported them back to the ship where Cyborg had the engines ready and they took off immediately. Starfire placed Robin in the seat next to her and buckled him in. Through her efforts she was uncoordinated and clumsy. She was still hyped up from all the fighting and just needed to calm down now. Robin was safe and her sister was stuck on that horrible planet but even knowing all that she was still worried. The Grand Physician would be waiting for them when they returned to earth. She noticed Robin turn in his seat and shiver some. Space probably felt pretty cold for humans now that she thought about it. Opening a compartment behind her seat she pulled out a blanket and wrapped it around him.

"So we gonna talk about the elephant in the room since we're heading home," Raven asked the other two.

"But Beast Boy isn't here and certainly an elephant would not fit in our ship," Starfire pointed out.

"That's not what I meant. What are we going to do about the Grand Physician when we get back?" It was as though Raven knew Starfire was already thinking about it.

"Well hopefully Robin wakes up before we get there so we can at least give him a heads up. Not really sure how he's gonna handle the news," Cyborg said as he put the ship on auto pilot and turned his seat to face the rest of the team. He regarded Robin's condition for the first time and he was immediately concerned. "Does he look pale to you guys?" Raven turned back and noticed he did seem paler and she pressed the back of her hand to his forehead.

"He feels hot as well." Considering they didn't know everything that was done to him there could be future health complications still to come. They wouldn't know how bad it would be until they got back to the Tower. Cyborg had already attempted to contact Beast boy but there was no answer. He wasn't too worried though since it was evening right now and BB liked to sleep. Until they were able to discuss a plan with Robin there really wasn't anything else they could do.

Starfire should have felt some relief that they rescued him, she should have felt some satisfaction beating up her sister and the woman who had hired her but any righteous justice was snuffed out by the remaining worry. What would happen now with Robin and her? She was still convinced this was her fault. Blackfire would have not gone after him otherwise. Under all the worry, she started to doze off. It just then occurred to her that she was completely worn out. She had been awake for well over 48 hours and it had finally caught up to her and that didn't include all the fighting. Turning in her seat she leaned against the window and drifted off to sleep.
