Starfire sat on the couch of the main living room. She was deep in thought about herself. So many things were perfect. Her room was perfect. Her friends were perfect. Her life seemed to be perfect, but then why was she not perfect? She glanced over towards the clock. "Nearly noon, but where are my friends?" she mumbled softly. "Cyborg?" not in his room... "Raven!?" not meditating... "Beast Boy, should you not be videoing the ga..." not video gaming... "Ro...Robin?" nowhere to be found.

"STARFIRE!!!!!!!" Starfire gasped as she spun around quickly. "Who is there?" she asked. "Star! C'mon! Slades on the screen!" That made Starfire race down to the room she started in. Beast Boy was right, as she entered the large mask of their most deadly enemy stared calmly into their own living quarters. "Glad you could join your little friends Princess," Slade mocked smoothly. Starfire only closed her eyes and turned her back to the screen. She wasn't feeling so great. "What's wrong Starfire, not feeling well?" Slade stated. "Shut up! Leave her alone Slade!" Robin shouted at the screen. "On the contrary Robin my current plans involve your little girlfriend, you may try to protect her if you like, it won't do any good."

Starfire had turned to face the screen with anger filled eyes. Slade stared into those angry eyes, making them fearful. With that, the screen turned to black. All eyes were on Starfire, and hers remained upon the screen.
