Beating Around The Bush (Teen Titans Robin X Reader)

Chapter 15

"How do you fly this thing?" Raven asked Star as they continued walking. "You must feel flight." Starfire said as she held her hands up for emphasis. "What?" Perci and Raven both asked confused. "When you feel the unbridled joy of flight, you will fly." Starfire said with a smile while Raven seemed to become worried. "Unbridled joy? Not really my thing." Raven said as they all stopped. "Maybe you won't have to feel as much? You're so used to having absolutely zero emotions that if you feel joy slightly, maybe it'll work." Perci said trying to help bring some sort of ease to the situation.

"Look!" Starifre yelled as she pointed to the other end of the alley. Raven jumped up at Star's loud voice making her fall on the ground. Perci also jumped as thorns shot out from her body. All three girls stared as a green animal growled at them. A green tiger came running towards them quickly. Perci was about to take care of it when Raven stopped her. "What do I need to feel to use starbolts?" She asked as they all stared at Beast boy coming for them. "Righteous fury!" "Your alien strength?" "Boundless confidence!" Starfire said with a large smile. Perci quickly made a large wall that separated them from Beast Boy.

"Did you ever think that this might not be a great time to figure this out?!" Perci yelled as she quickly pushed the girls to start moving. "That wall won't hold him back for long! We gotta keep moving!" Perci yelled as she ran behind the girls.

Raven, Starfire, and Perci all twisted through various alleys before a figure with a cape jumped down in front of them. They all skidded to a stop as Robin's body with glowing blue eyes stood in front of them. Perci quickly moved so she was between the girls and Robin. A growl from behind made all of them look over at beast boy. Perci watched as Robin held his staff.

One thought continuously ran through her mind before panic filled her eyes. She quickly ducked down as the girls dodged Robin's attack. Thankfully, Robin ended up hitting Beast Boy right on the head causing his staff to go flying elsewhere. The girls quickly used this as their chance to escape. Raven jumped behind an alley and grabbed Star and Perci slamming them against the alley walls. "A little gentler would've been nice." Perci said as she pried herself off the wall once Robin and Beast Boy had ran by.

Loud thuds came from next to them as Cyborg punched two large holes into the wall they were up against. The sudden attack caught Starfire off guard making magic appear right below Raven sending her flying into the air with a yell. "Wait for me please!" Starfire yelled as she ran grabbing Perci's hand. The girls quickly met up again as they ran right into a dead end.

Cyborg approached the girls and Perci pushed her way in front. Her eyes widened slightly as Robin and Beast Boy joined Cyborg. She shook her head with a growl to herself as she glared at the boys. The boys started to close in on the girls when Raven grabbed Star's shoulders. "If I can't fly, you have to levitate." Raven explained to her friends. Perci got ready to fight as hard wood and thorns covered her fights. "You know those words I always-" "Yes!" "Wait! You have to focus!" Raven quickly stopped her. "Don't make me hurt you!" Perci yelled to the boys as they stepped closer. "Azarath!" Star yelled as Perci crouched onto the ground. "Metrion!" Perci's hand grabbed onto an extremely small plant. "Zinthos!" Star yelled again. Perci quickly pulled the plant up causing an extremely large amount of vines to come up from the ground tangling up the guys. Just as the three girls were about to also be consumed by the plants, Starfire was airborne. Raven successfully grabbed onto both girls as they flew into the air.

All three girls screamed as they flew through the air at incredible speed. Raven held onto Perci's wrist tightly as she stared down at the city below them. "Woah...so this is what flying's like? This is beautiful!" She said as pink and white roses blossomed. She didn't even care as they got farther and farther from the ground. "I wish to stop! Please tell me the way to stop!" Starfire yelled down to Raven who was still screaming. "Look at the ground and imagine-" Starfire quickly stared directly at the ground. "Wait!" Raven yelled just as the girls started plummeting into a heap of garbage. Perci quickly wrapped all of them in a large ball of stems and leaves to protect them as they hit the garbage.

Perci's defensive ball quickly went back into her body as she let out a groan. "Okay...that hurt." She said as she pulled pieces of garbage off herself. "Ugh! I smell like the breath of a Snervian blork worm!" Starfire said as Raven moved trash bags around. "Raven what are you-" "Sh!" Raven yelled as she threw a trash back on top of Starfire. Perci let out a muffled laugh only to be hit with a garbage bag as well.

Robin and Cyborg walked in front of where they were looking all directions for the girls. Raven and Perci quickly noticed Star's hands become covered in magic making them give her a look. What surprised both girls was when Star quickly wrapped her arms around Perci. "Peace...quiet...tranquility..." Star said to herself, but it wasn't working as well as they all had hoped. Perci acted fast and held Star close to her rubbing her back soothingly. "You got this, Star. Just a little longer." Perci managed to whisper reassuringly to the princess.

"They're gone." Raven said giving both girls a smile. Perci and Starfire quickly relaxed at the news that the others were gone. They all looked to see Robin and Cyborg walking away and a sigh a relief left Perci. What surprised them was a green rat. Perci got surprised by the rat and shoved star off her making the girl gasp. Raven was able to cover Star's mouth while Perci looked away from the girls. They noticed her sharp thorns protruding from her body into many of the garbage bags. She had shoved herself hard in the corner between the alley wall and the garbage bags as she held her breath refusing to make and movements.

Best boy sniffed the bags multiple times, and the girls thought they would get caught. All three girls were sweating as they waited for the worst to happen. "Enough!" The voice of the puppet king shouted just before Beast Boy could spot any of Perci's thorns. The three boys stood like zombies as the Puppet king spoke. "We'll catch the other two, and make a quick puppet for the third after the ceremony is complete. "Ceremony?" Robin's voice came from the wooden puppet. "What ceremony?" Cyborg's voice said strained. "Just a little spell that will destroy you three and make your bodies mine forever. Come, my puppets." The puppet king said and all of them left.

The girls threw the large garbage bags out of their way as they moved. "You guys okay? Didn't knick you did I?" Perci asked concern evident on her features as she looked at the girls. "No, I'm fine." Raven said and Star nodded with a smile. "Uh...you got some stuff in your hair Raven." Perci said pointing to the gunk in the girls now long hair. "Ugh! How do you stand having this much hair?" Raven asked Star while Perci gave a soft laugh. "Hold on, let me get it." She said as she quickly getting multiple pieces of trash from her hair. Perci pulled Raven's hair back and let a small stem wrap around her hair to keep it out of Raven's face.

"Quickly! Our friends are in danger! We must follow and-" Star said pulled Raven and Perci's hands. "And what? Save them with my unusable powers while your unbridled emotions blow us to bits? Nice flying by the way." Raven said making Perci face palm while black magic surrounded Star. "At least I am able to fly! On my planet, even a newborn can unleash the joy of flight! But you are too busy being grumpy and rude to feel anything at all!" Star yelled and Perci took a couple steps back from the two girls trying not to get hurt by Star's emotions. "Maybe you haven't noticed, but my emotions are dangerous. I can't afford to feel anything. You may have my body, but you know nothing about me." Raven said as she turned away from Star.

Perci placed her head in her hand again as she realized just how screwed they were. "Perhaps you are right." Star said making both girls look at her. "And if you and I are to overcome this ordeal we must know everything about each other. So, begin sharing." Star said and Raven cracked a smile. "Alright." Raven said before her and Star sat down on the ground. "Uh...c-can I listen as well?" Perci asked unsure if she was allowed to listen. Both girls nodded to her and she send them both a soft smile as she made small patches of plants for them all to sit on. "I was born in a place called Azarath." Raven started her story while both girls sat intrigued to hear the half demon's story.
