Chapter 9-Obsession

From now and until forever they are one; mind, body, and soul. Only thing you need to know from the last chapter if you didn't read it.

It’s been a few weeks since Robin and Starfire confessed their undying love for each other both verbally and physically. Their engagement was not such a surprise for the team for all were very well aware of Robin’s and Star’s feelings towards one another. Star finally moved fully into Robin’s room after the night of their engagement. Both Robin and Star were teased endlessly by the rest of the team for keeping them up all that night. Robin had yet to act any further on their intimate act or perform it again for crime sprees left both the leader and the rest of the team exhausted at night.

Recently there have been burglaries at the local tech. Centers steeling top-secret computer chips. Some type of high tech laser had been stole as well. Robin tried endlessly to figure out what the criminals were up to as well as who they were. Many long nights he spent analyzing the data Cyborg received from his readings as well as some of the robot minions they destroyed. Star would insist that he come to bed, that he needed sleep. She never gave up asking him, every night she came at midnight begging him to come to bed. But he never came. It was only in the early mornings did he leave his work room and crawl into bed with Star who was sound asleep. He needed to figure out what these criminals were planning for the sake of the town and for the sake of Star. There had been some close calls lately and he fought harder than ever to ensure nothing ever happened to her.

The next few days there were messily thefts, only a handful of bank robberies that hand not connection to his case and some random Robot attacks. And during these days he spent more time locked up into his room trying to figure everything out. His only interruptions were when Star came in with lunch. His only time he would stop working was when Star came in and had lunch with him. They usually ate in silence while Star sat in his lap or next to him.

“So any new leads?” Star would always ask, though usually knowing the answer.

“Well, looking at all the stuff they stole I only have a few guesses. One is that it’s some sort of time changer. Two that it’s something that can cause major destructive damage. Or lastly it may be able to disintegrate something.” Robin stated full in thought.

“What does disintegrate mean?” Star asked curiously.

“It means that the object begins to fade it’s molecules dispersing until it ceases to exist; meaning it vanishes.

“Oh. I didn’t know you could do that her on earth.” Star was amazed that something could actually do that.

“Well it really doesn’t yet. It was still in the process of being tested until the chips were stolen with all the data.” Robin said going over his papers, meaning lunch was about over.

“Ok.” Star sighed getting up and taking their plates in her hand and leaned down to kiss him. He met her half way making it passionate.

“Please don’t let this become like it did with Slade, Robin.” She said as she left out the door closing it behind him.

He sighed himself she was right he was beginning to become obsessed with this. He really wanted to spend more time with Star than he was. He knew he wasn’t being the best fiancee like he should be but she did understand and for that he was thankful. He stretched well later today he thought he would get everyone together and they could all go out and hang out like they used too. He then turned back to his work smile.

“Hey everyone.” Robin said walking into the living room.

“Wow. Dude your out of hibernation.” Beast Boy said dropping his controller to the floor.

“We thought you wouldn’t come out of hiding till the alarm sounded.” Cyborg said also dropping his controller as the TV showed a double crash on the scene.

“Hey.” Raven just said looking up from her book raising and eye-brow.

“Good after noon Robin.” Star said coming up and embracing him in a hug. He smiled down at her returning the hug and kissed the top of her head.

“Well I was wondering if you guys wanted to hang out tonight. I have been working kinda hard on this whole crime spree thing. I need a brake before I go insane.” He laughed lightly seeing every ones stunned face including Raven how just dropped her book.

“So what do you say wanta go to the mall and hang out a little.” He asked again receiving slow nods in response.

“Ok what have you done to the real Robin.” Star asked poking him in the chest eyeing him suspiciously.

“What its me Star.” Robin said smiling at her scrunched up face.

“The Robin I know would not come out of that room until he solved the puzzle.” She stated still not fully believing him.

“Ya, well I took someone’s advice to not become too obsessive.” He smiled again seeing her not believe him still.

“Are you sure you are not feeling sick Robin?” Star said this time placing her hand on his forehead checking to see if he had a fever and was delirious.

“No. I am fine. Really Star.” He said getting a little annoyed at her antics. He had a thought and scooped her up crushing his lips to hers in a heated hungry kiss.

“Now do you believe me?” Robin said after braking the kiss and setting her down. All she could do was nod numbly from pleasure.

“So you guys ready? Let’s go then.” Robin said dragging a tingling Starfire with him.

Cyborg took the T-Car, Beast Boy and Raven took his motorcycle, and Robin and Star took his motorcycle. They all headed for the Jump City Mall. Once they got there they each got a slice of pizza from the food court and sat down for an early dinner. Beast Boy got an all veggie and non-dairy cheese slice and a root beer. Raven got a cheese and black olive and mushroom slice and a Dr. Pepper. Cyborg got an all meat lovers slice covered in sausage, pepperoni, ham, and ground hamburger and a Coke. Robin got a basic cheese and pepperoni slice with a Dr. Pepper. Star on the other hand got a basic cheese pizza slice and tones of mustard packages and a Sprite. They all ate their pizza slices and had some basic conversations. Robin told them about what he had found out about what the device may be and they were all just as shocked at Star to discover such and invention was in the making. After they ate they hit the arcade.

Raven stood silently next to Beast Boy as he and Cyborg battled each other on Mortal Combat. Robin took Star to the DM dance game. He showed her how to play first doing a simple number. Star picked it up quite fast and was a really good dancer following the beat. Robin was not a good dancer was a quick and agile fighter allowing him to follow the fast arrows and execute the right steps. Soon they had quite an audience watching them. They did a duet together and then did the dance competition with each other. They were evenly matched and had been competing with each other for nearly ten minutes not none slowing down or showing signs of tiring. Robin loved the thrill of competition and Star enjoyed to egg that aspect in him along. Cyborg and BB and Raven soon wondered over to the crowed to see what was going on. They found their friend engaged in a heated dance competition each already beating whatever high score was on the game before.

“Wow. There both really good.” Cy said looking at their scores neither of them missing a beat.

“I didn’t know Robin could dance like that. They are both really good at this. The way their going at it the isn’t going to be a winner anytime soon.” Beast Boy pointed out.

“Robin can’t dance. Look at Star she is moving to the beat to follow the arrows. Robin on the other hand is watching the screen closely and is able to hit the right arrows at the right time. If you get him to look away from the screen he wont be able step on the right arrow.” Raven said analyzing the two.

“I know how to get him to do that.” Beast boy said turning into a dog. He walked casually up to Robin’s side and let out a loud deep bark. Both Star and Robin looked down at him. Star continued dancing while Robin missed four different steps causing him to loose the competition. He glared at Beast Boy threateningly.

“Run.” Was all Robin said to BB as he took off after the dead mutts butt.

“I won.” Star said turning in the direction of Robin only to see him running after a green dog yelping for its life.

She got off the DM as Robin called it, giggling at the sight of the two. She was approached by many people wanting to know how she danced so well. When she told them this was her first time trying the game most of them fell down anime style. She was approached by a blond hair blue eyed young guy about her age.

“Hi my name is Nick. What’s yours?” He offered her his hand.

“Nice to meet you Nick. My name is Starfire.” She offered shaking his hand.

“So was that guy you were dancing with your boyfriend or something?” He asked looking behind her to Robin who was currently being pulled off BB by Cyborg.

“No.” She started but was interrupted by Nick.

“Well, ok let me take you out and buy you drink.” He asked taking hold of her by the waist pulling her with him.

“No. Stop.” Star Said trying to push away from him but he held fast.

“I’m going to like you being my girlfriend.” He said still ignoring her pleas.

“Stop. I don’t want to go any were with you.” Still struggling in his grasp trying to get away. By now Robin was looking in her direction, watching some guy try to pull her with him.

“Don’t worry little miss I’ll take good care of you.” He said pulling her even closer.

“Please let go.” Star pleaded with him but to no avail. She wished Robin were here.

“I think the lady said she wanted you to let go.” Robin said through his gritted teeth trying to control himself from beating the guy to a bloody pulp.

“I think the little miss here was going with me not you.” Nick shot back pulling Star out the door.

“Think you need to learn a lesson asking girls out.” Robin seethed as he followed them getting in front of them. His eyes under his sunglasses burned blue fire.

“Oh and who’s going to teach me that lesson? YOU!” He laughed in Robin’s face.

“Yes. And the lessons are about to begin.” Robin said advancing his fists balled.

“Oh, I am so scared.” He pretended to shake in fear as Robin grew nearer.

“Lesson one: Star is Mine!” Robin said grabbing Star’s arm and pulling her closer and punching the guy in the gut with his other.

The guy fell to his knees clutching his stomach. He didn’t think the kid could hit so hard.

“Why is she yours. She said she wasn’t your girlfriend.” Nick said looking up with pain in his eyes.

“You didn’t let me finish. He isn’t by boyfriend anymore he’s my fiancee.” She cut in before Robin said anything.

“Lesson 2: I am not going to hit you for this but when a girl says NO! She means it!” He said in Nicks trembling face. All he could do was nod and take off like a dog with his tale tucked.

“I’m sorry Robin. He would not let me finish.” Star said bowing her head in shame.

“It wasn’t your fault Star. The guy was a jerk. He doesn’t respect women. He didn’t want to hear your side he only wanted his.” Robin said tilting her head up with his hand. He kissed her lips tenderly to reassure her. She smiled up at him. He was about to kiss her again when his communicator went off.

“Titans!” Robin called to round everyone up.

“At the docks. Our thieves are waiting for us!” Robin said getting a specific location of the docks.

“Alright, Titans, Go!” He said as they all fled to their vehicles and taking off towards the docks.

The got there in record time, everyone dressed in their respectful uniforms.

“So nice to meet you face to face Titans.” A figure said from the darkness of the shadows.

“Who are you! Show your self!” Robin ordered the voice.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you Robin but you’ll have to come in and find me first.” With that said the figure disappeared into the warehouse.

“Titans, Go!” Robin yelled and they took off into the warehouse unaware what surprises were awaiting them.
