Target

It Scares Me Too

"I guess everyone is tired." Robin whispered to himself as he picked up Starfire and carried her to her room. He looked at her for a second and decided he needed to keep her in sight. He picked her up and took her to his room. He laid her on the bed and started up a computer he brought into his room. He stayed up all night trying to find things to help Starfire.
"Robin?" Starfire asked rubbing her eyes as she woke up. "Hey." He said quickly. He shut off the computer screen and walked to the side of the bed. "Greetings." She said sleepily. He rubbed her head and leaned over to kiss her head. "You look very tired." She pointed out. "Have you slept?" She asked. He looked around the room awkwardly. "No." He finally said. "Robin, you must rest!" She said worriedly. "I'm okay." He assured her. "Please get some sleep, Robin." She begged. "I probably wouldn't be able to." He said. "Will you lay with me for a while?" She asked. "Yes." He answered and laid with her. He soon fell asleep.
"Okay, it's time for the fake video." Cyborg said while he set up his camera in the underground room he built. "Are you sure we should continue without Robin?" Starfire asked as she sat down in the old worn down wooden chair. "He needs rest." Raven said in her normal emotionless voice. Beast Boy walked up to Starfire and put tape on her mouth. "I don't like this either." Beast Boy assured Starfire. Raven frowned as she tied Starfire up to the chair with ropes. Adena covered her mouth and walked out of the room. "Move out of the way. I am connecting to their main frame system now." Cyborg said and waved them out of the way. "Here's the voice warping tool." Beast Boy said and handed it to Cyborg. Cyborg shushed everyone. "Attention! We have captured the princess from Earth." Cyborg yelled over the device. "What?!" An angry Gemeron yelled. "I am the commander of this ship! I know you could not have captured her like that!" The alien screamed. "Well how is she on our planet then?" Cyborg asked sarcastically. "I demand you turn in the girl!" The Gemeron shouted. "I don't think it works that way." Cyborg said and nodded at Beast Boy. He made a scrunched up face out of not wanting to do it. He held up a gun in the cameras vision. He took it off safety so the commander would hear it. "Take your ships away from Earth, or we shoot the girl." Cyborg commanded trying not to choke on the words. Raven pulled her hood over her head. "Why do you care about that planet?" The alien asked suspiciously. Starfire's eyes grew big as the gun neared her head. Her eyes started to glow and she squirmed to make it seem as if she couldn't get away. "How is the princess not using her powers?" The alien asked. "Are you questioning my planet's technology!" Cyborg yelled. "I will shoot the girl! Remove all your planet's weapons, ships, and personnel!" Cyborg ordered. Beast Boy put his finger on the trigger and looked away. He pushed her head with the gun. "Alright! Don't shoot! We will remove ourselves from Earth!" The alien yelled quickly. "The Tameranian will live. For now." Cyborg said and cut off the connection. Everyone helped to set her free. "I'm sorry." Beast Boy said and put his head down. "You did what you must." Starfire said and put her head down. She walked out of the room. She walked to the roof.

"Starfire?" Robin asked when he shut the door to the roof. She turned to see him walking toward her. "I heard about today." He said as he say beside her. "Yea..." Her voice trailed. "It scares me too." He said sadly. She looked up at him with a tear. He hugged her and kissed her head. "I'm sorry." He said through a cry. He held her close. Robin felt Starfire shake and breath heavy. "Robin, I cannot breathe."
