(A/N)- Look at me frantically trying to get these all cross-posted before RobStar Week 2019 starts, lol.

Disclaimer: We're just gonna breeze through this one savvy? I don't own Teen Titans.

RobStar Week 2018, Day 1 - Falling

Robin hurled a bird-a-rang at his target as he ran along the rooftop. The sharp edge clipped the wing of one of Killer Moth's giant mutated minions, sending it spiraling with a pitiful flail towards the ground. Blue sonic beams and flashing green starbolts told him that Cyborg and Starfire were busy on the ground. Beast Boy was swooping over their heads, picking off mutant moths in pterodactyl form. He couldn't see Raven but he knew she must be nearby; her mantra would ring out through the night every so often.

The Boy Wonder picked up the pace of his sprint, trying to intercept Killer Moth himself now, and the larger moth he was currently riding. The villain had the reins in one hand and in the other brandished a spiky-ended baseball bat, which he used to give the giant moth an annoyed wallop, after it blundered yet again into the side of a building, sending shattered glass tinkling to the street below.

"Fly you infernal insect!" he was snarling at his mount. "Gain some altitude!"

The giant moth roared but obeyed, flapping its great wings forcefully to raise its large heavy body higher.

Robin growled in frustration, looking around the rooftops for something to attach his grapple line to. Killer Moth was getting out of range. He pulled out another bird-a-rang, hurling it with all his might, but already even the moth's dangling legs were higher than he could throw.

He looked around again, spying the tall steeple spire of a Methodist church building. His grapple was out in moments, the hook shooting off and wrapping around the uppermost point.

The line drew tight; Robin gripped the handle firmly as he reeled himself in.

His feet found the tiles of the spire roof, and he quickly scrambled up to the top. He wobbled a moment, his position precarious, paying a nervous glance down at the street, dizzyingly far below.

Shaking it off, he whipped out an explosive disc from his belt, taking careful aim before sending it hurtling towards Killer Moth, who was turning around to make another pass at the Titans.

The disc flew straight and true. Too straight. Killer Moth dropped the reins, taking the spiked bat in both hands, and swung it hard, deflecting the disc back the way it had come.

Robin had just enough time to widen his eyes and gasp.

The disc hit the steeple just below his feet.

-TT-

BOOM!

Mortar and stone splintered, dropping in shattered pieces towards the ground.

Starfire looked up anxiously, rising up a little higher above the battle to better see. Though she couldn't always see him directly in her line of vision, she had kept aware of Robin's position throughout the battle.

She strained her eyes to see through the smoke. The top of the steeple had been obliterated, the pieces toppling in freefall.

Along with him.

Starfire clamped down on her first instinct to rush to him. Robin often got himself out of these situations all on his own. But in a rapid series of microseconds she spied the broken end of his grapple line blowing in the wind, noticed that Robin wasn't moving to save himself, wasn't moving at all, and her heart shot up into her throat.

She moved almost before she was consciously aware of it, bursting forth into a nosedive straight for him, arms already out to intercept.

Reach him, was the only thought in her frantic mind. Oh please, reach him!

He was already dangerously close to the ground and still unmoving, stunned by the explosion. She poured on speed, heedless of anything else, stretching and stretching and stretching until—

His back hit her outstretched arms and she caught him, curling her arms around his legs and torso as he dropped neatly into her embrace.

Her heart finally jolting out of its terrified sputter, exhaling a breath of relief, Starfire slowed her speed and pulled up. She drifted upright, panting hard, eyes crinkling as she beheld him.

"Oh X'hal…" she whispered, breathless.

It was okay, she had to keep repeating to herself inside her head. He was okay. She'd gotten to him in time.

She needed a moment to recover and compose herself. Starfire dropped gently to the street, cradling Robin close.

-TT-

The blast hadn't knocked him completely unconscious, but he was too dazed to really register what had happened. His ears rang and his stomach was churning over with an odd weightless sensation. The broken top of the steeple was falling away, moving farther from him. Wind rushed past his head.

The gentle air was broken by a heavy thump, a collision with something warm and firm. The familiar smell of her drifted through his nose and Robin started to come back to.

He groaned softly. His head was still pounding with reverberations from the blast. He cracked open his eyes, blinking up at Starfire's worried face.

"Star?" he said, still dazed.

She smiled, the tension in her shoulders relaxing. "You are responsive again," she noted. "That is good."

Robin rubbed his ear as he sat up, trying to make the ringing go away. "Ow…" he muttered.

"Are you okay?" asked Starfire, leaning in anxiously.

"Just a little disoriented is all," he assured her. "I got knocked off the roof, didn't I?"

She nodded, mouth pinched.

He smiled and touched her arm affectionately. "Lucky you were there to catch me, huh?"

She exhaled in mixed weariness and relief. "As you say," she teased, "I am your 'guardian angel'."

Chuckling, he agreed. "That you are." Robin shifted and started getting up, brushing dust off his legs. "Come on," he urged. "We can't let Killer Moth get away."

"Are you sure you are all right?" she asked.

"I'll shake it off," he told her. "Not the first time I've been knocked off a roof, won't be the last." He held a hand out to her. "Just promise you'll watch out for me."

There was an unspoken plea in his words, a petition for her not to let him suffer the same fate as his parents, and Stafire nodded firmly.

"Always," she promised.

She took the hand he offered, rising up into the air with him trailing behind, as they prepared to charge the villain.

(A/N)- Protective worried Starfire best Starfire.
