She is a Beautiful Disaster.
Double Bluffing.
Starfire dried her tears with one quick motion, with her right hand. She cried herself silly, again. But she couldn't help it, as long as she knew he was still around, she would not get a moments rest. None of her teammates knew about this. Only when she thought she is alone, would she let tears fall from her beautiful emerald eyes. She recently went to the market and bought what earth girls called foundation. She quickly learnt how to apply it with out looking like a complete orange fool. She was naturally tanned so it was hard, but she managed it in the end. She spread the mixture evenly over her face to cover the red blotches. She looked in the mirror before she walked out of her room, and put her normally wide, cheerful and totally fake smile, to greet her friends with.
"I'm so gonna kick your big metal butt!"
"I don't think so, you little grass stain!"
If you couldn't tell, Cyborg and Beastboy were playing on their videogames. Cyborg was of course beating Beastboy, but Beastboy always demanded a re-match. Raven started to watch them for a while, but the continuality of the same game, bored her, so soon she was sitting next to the large window, gazing out onto the view. Her mind full of interesting adverbs and adjectives to put into her latest depressing poem. Robin was busy typing away at the computer; still frantically searching for any crime, or anything that could lead the titans to Slade. No one took Starfire's sudden appearance any notice apart from a short nod from Robin to say that he knew she entered the room. Starfire just flashed her pearly whites around the room, and behind her fake smile she scanned the room, just to make sure that he hadn't sneaked his way into the tower. She sighed silently when she discovered he was nowhere in sight.
"Is there any food left? I am feeling the feeling of hunger!" she shouted into the room, no one but Raven looked slightly interested in what she said. Raven merely looked up from her notebook where she was writing her poem and pointed to the fridge, before she got busy thinking of rhyming words. Starfire smile faltered for less than second, but luckily no one noticed.
"Does anyone else have the feeling of hunger?" she enquired, but all she got was either a grunt of someone shaking his or her head.
"Come on girl, I will help you make something." Cyborg said, finally taking notice of the poor alien girl.
"Thank you friend Cyborg. I am much of the appreciating of you!" she said before giving him an even wider smile. Cyborg grinned in return then walked into the kitchen after Starfire.
"Is that a forfeit Cy? I guess I am the WINNER!" Beastboy screamed at the top of his lungs, he opened his mouth again but strip of black magic that looked like a silk ribbon, tied its way around his mouth.
"I don't want to hear it." She said simply, before once again returning to her poems. Beastboy ran around the sofa a couple of times, but in the end realised that no one was going to help him, so he sat on the sofa and began to flick through the channels. Starfire and Cyborg finished preparing some pizzas and made their way back into the main room. Raven had finally stopped creating poems, and had come away from the window, still not removing her black magic from Beastboy's mouth. Starfire was the only titan who took pity on Beastboy's lack of say in the matter. She sighed before walking up to him, and removing the ribbon like magic.
"Well, at least someone cares for the little green dude, Thank you Starfire." He said before giving her, a big thumbs up, and then he moved away to annoy Raven, while she was obviously trying to concentrate on reading her book.
Starfire sat down carefully on the sofa and looked over the wonderful view. She sighed but soon enough her eyes picked up on something in the sky. She jumped up from her seat, the back of her hand began to sting like mad, and it felt as though fire ripped through her delicate flesh. It was him she knew it. This time everyone noticed her strange reaction. She noticed that tears were nearly pouring down her face, so she put on her well rehearsed fake smile, and stood up stretching her back. She casually lightly flew to the door. She almost got away but Robin was still watching her.
"Where are you going Star?"
"I feel the need for fresh air, I am travelling up to the roof. Do not be alarmed." She said sweetly before exiting quickly, once the metal door separated her from her friends, she tore off her metal glove and saw the mark, burning red raw. She winced slightly as the pain grew. He was getting closer. She could not let her friends know her past; she refused to let them be disturbed by her past life. She shoved her glove over her sore hand and let her eyes glow the dangerous green. She flew up to the roof, and waited for him to arrive, so rudely, not invited, not wanted and he was defiantly not liked.
"Doesn't anyone else think that Starfire is acting a bit weird lately?" Robin said when he heard her fly off down the corridor.
"Nope, I mean she is just strange anyway, not really a big difference" Beastboy said while poking Raven in the shoulder repeatedly. But soon Raven got tired of that game, and she thought of a better one. She put one hand up and Beastboy was encased into a very powerful black magic ball. She then put it on the sofa, opposite her chair. She then turned to Robin as if nothing had happened.
"Maybe she is just feeling abit off, but I have also noticed there is something different about her."
"Could you talk to her?"
"I could try, but I don't what help that would be." She said before making the bubble throw Beastboy up and then back down again. She finally let the bubble go when she walked out of the room. Beastboy was a paler green, but Robin and Cyborg just laughed at his misfortune.
Starfire was stood in a fighting stance, as he grew closer and closer. She had no idea how he found her, but she wasn't going without a fight. She finally fitted in somewhere. She had even bonded with Raven majorly; Raven and her are finally what earth girls called Best Friends. And she was finally happy. She ground her teeth together roughly as the pain in her hand grew almost unbearable. She watched the silver object fly closer and closer to her. Finally the space ship landed on the other side of the roof, she rose slightly off the floor, and now her hands were glowing the same green as her eyes. The door opened slowly and the ramp extended from the door, but Starfire just floated and watched. She expected him to be standing in the doorway, with that stupid smug smile. But instead a large figure rolled down the ramp. And a loud voice boomed from inside the ship.
"I don't deal with liars." It said, and Starfire raised her eyebrow. She focused onto the large figure to see Galfore lying there, covered with blood. She flew over to him quickly to see that her old guardian was brutally murdered. She clenched her fists tighter and pulled Galfore away from the ship. She put him to one side, and focused her attention on the ship.
"Show yourself." She said angrily.
"As you wish Princess," he said before coming to the doorway. Just like she remembered him, cruel smile, eyes that were filled with greed and hatred. He steeped out onto the roof, and looked at the views around him. He didn't seem fazed by the fact, that Starfire was ready to kill him any time soon.
"Why did you kill Galfore?" she said not taking her eyes from his dark ones.
"As I said before, I do not care for liars, he swore down on his life, he had no idea where you were hiding Princess. But he did know, and after all he was the one who swore on his life. Not me." He said calmly.
"Come, I wasn't finished with you. Plus I need to punish you for leaving me."
"I am not going anywhere." She said firmly, making her hands and eyes glow even brighter.
"You always had to learn the hard way didn't you princess, just after your stupid mother."
"You do not insult my mother!" she said, flying towards him at top speed, firing starbolts one after the other at a rapid speed. But before she could do any harm to him, he simply clicked his fingers and she fell to her knees, clutching her hand. That stupid mark felt like hell. Fire ripping through her flesh hatred flowing through her soul for this cruel man. She tore off her glove and looked at the mark, which was actually on fire. The flames licked up through the rough slashes that made up the mark. Tears poured through her eyes, while he just laughed at her crumpled on the floor, defenceless.
Raven heard something on the roof, and went up there slowly to investigate. She got to the door, and had to stop for a minute, all the hate that Starfire was feeling, hurt her mind. She fought through the pain and opened the door to find the blank staring face of Galfore. Eyes rolled back, deep gashes all over his face, dried blood tangled up his hair and beard. Raven screamed silently at this horrible sight but managed to push away his corpse and make her way up to the roof. She saw Starfire crying on the floor, and mysterious man laughing. Raven narrowed her eyes at this man, and encased him in the same bubble that she encased Beastboy in minutes before. He was shocked by this new attack that he didn't defend himself, and he also lost his concentration, so Starfire's mark stopped being alight, and the pain dulled down immensely. Before Starfire turned around, she put her glove back over her hand. Raven ran forward to Starfire's side.
"Who was he?"
"No time to explain, he is very powerful, you will need to get the rest of the titans up here. It won't take him long before he escapes from your bubble." She said quickly, her eyes puffy from crying. Raven nodded then stood up straight, closed her eyes, and sent a mental note to the other titans. As quick as lightening the other titans made their way to the roof.
"Who is it Starfire?" Robin asked, stood in a fighting stance, bow staff at the ready, Beastboy was ready to transform, Raven still had the bubble, and Cyborg was ready with his sonic cannon.
"He is…"
"Back!" they heard, he finally, broke through the dark barrier. He smiled when he saw the Titans all stood ready to fight.
"Your friends won't help you now Princess." He said clicking his fingers again, Starfire screamed in pain, and had to rip her glove from her hand. When Robin saw her hand, burning again, his eyes narrowed to slits.
"Titans Go!" he screamed, they all charged forward towards him. But he laughed again, and levitated Starfire in front of himself. The titans tried to stop their attacks but it was too late. Starfire got hit in the stomach by Cyborg's cannon, whacked over the head with a powerful swing by Robin. Beastboy who was a rhino charged into her with full force, and Raven pulled up a boulder from the shore of the island and dropped it on her. Raven quickly removed the boulder to find Starfire, breathing heavily; she probably had a few broken ribs. And the mark was still of fire, her uniform was all torn or ragged. Starfire looked up at her friends who just attacked her with large sad green eyes.
"Well, you call those your friends Princess? They just attacked you, not very good friends are they?" he said dragging her to her feet by her hair, she screamed in pain, not only at him pulling her hair, but she felt like every bone in her body was crushed.
"Let her go!" Robin snarled but he just laughed again, floated to her over to the edge of the roof and gave the titans a cruel smile.
"As you wish" he said before letting Starfire fall to the ground, they heard her scream, Raven tried to catch her before she hit the ground but he stopped her.
"Azerath Metrion Zin…" she began but he fired a bright orange bolt out of one of his fingers into her, it stunned her body and she fell backwards, totally stiff.
"I don't think so, and the rest of you are too late, Starfire has hit the rocky bottom. Now if you don't mind, I came to get someone and I ain't leaving without her." He said jumping off the roof, and flying down to Starfire who was lying roughly on the rocks. He smiled at her pain and picked her up bridal style. Wherever his body came in contact with her, she got repeated electric shocks.
"Let her go!" she heard someone scream from up above her, the last thing she saw was Robin, swinging down from the roof, with his bow staff. That was the last thing she saw because he once again blocked his attack using Starfire as a shield. Robin's last blow had knocked her out completely.
"You can't save her now, and why do you want her?" he said when Robin was looking at Starfire's beaten body.
"She is a valued member of the team, and a good friend, you have no right to come and take her!" he said with his eyes like slits, he dared not attack, because he knew that he would turn the attack to Starfire.
"I have every right to take her, she is mine. See that mark? Anything or anyone with that mark belongs to me! Didn't she ever tell you her past?" he said before flying up with a high speed. Raven's stun had worn off, so she was standing again, chanting her mantra over and over again, her hands didn't look like her normally pale ones, they were like black bolts of lightening, from her hands these crackling bolts wound their way up her arms and around her body, not even Cyborg or Beastboy had seen her this angry. They stepped away from her, as the bolts looked more and more dangerous.
"Come Princess, I have missed you." He said to the unconscious body in his arms. He looked over at the furious demon girl, and looked worried. He didn't know how angry she could get.
"Let her go and leave or else" she said angrily to him, his eyes widened for a second but his evil mind just thought of a way around this.
"Are you really going to fire those at me? Aren't you scared for Princess Koriand'r?" he said with an eyebrow raised, but he saw that you should not mess with an angry half demon. He just winked and jumped into the ship with Starfire still in his arms. Raven threw the bolts at the shape ship, but it had no effect but to leave a few dents, scratches, it was still unharmed enough to fly away with her best friend. Raven used up most of her energy in that not very good attack, well if it hit him, then he wouldn't be flying away with Starfire, still hurt and probably still unconscious. Raven's knees buckled underneath her, Beastboy ran to her side, and Raven didn't know why, but she hugged him tight and cried onto his shoulder. Beastboy was shocked at first to see Raven cry, Raven never cries. But he just knelt beside her, and let it all come out. After about two minutes of crying she pulled away and put her hands to her head. Beastboy saw that her mind was tired, so he gently took her hands away and picked her up. He took her downstairs to her room, and gently laid her down, on her bed. He noticed that she fell asleep in his arms, and she was a light as a feather. Beastboy smiled at her peaceful face. He didn't know why, but it seemed right to do so. He bent down and gave her a light peck on the lips, she didn't stir and Beastboy just smiled again and left her.
