Set after Betrayal and before Aftershock

Weaknesses

Terra took a deep breath as she pushed her hair behind her ears. It had only been a couple of weeks since she had betrayed the Titans and she was still getting used to her new surroundings. Slade's layer was located in a volcano, lava flowing through the glass surfaces. She had to admit; he knew how to pick the perfect spot to plan evil deeds.

Their original plan was to destroy the Titans in their own tower, but that had not gone as planned. She had pulled Beast Boy aside because she didn't want him hurt. She felt a slight pain in her chest just thinking about him. She couldn't believe she had actually started to fall for him. Attachments were dangerous and so were feelings. She couldn't afford to have those.

Slade had made it very clear that the Titans were the enemy and that they needed to be destroyed in order to start their new empire in the city. Terra smirked. Taking down the titans would be cake. She knew all of their weaknesses. They had been fools to trust her.

"Terra, come to the main room immediately."

Slade's voice rang loud and clear in her earpiece. She got up from her makeshift bed and walked down the hallway to where Slade was waiting for her. She saw him sitting in a large chair, in front of three giant monitors.

"You called?" She asked lazily as she leaned against a control panel.

"Yes," Slade said as he turned in his chair to look at her. "I want to discuss the Titan's weaknesses with you."

Terra shrugged her shoulders. "Want do you want to know?"

"Everything." Slade said. "In order to rip them apart we have to exploit their weakness and crush them." He got up and began pacing in front of her.

"Who do you want to know about first?" She asked as she watched him pace.

Slade walked over to the computer and began to type away. He pulled up a picture of Cyborg and turned to Terra.

"Tell me about our metal friend, first." He said as crossed his arms over his chest.

Terra hopped up on the metal control panel and began kicking her legs in the air.

"His tech gives him several advantages and he's strong." She started. "But his tech can also be used against him. He can be rash and act without thinking, which can easily get him in trouble. He is also Robin's second."

"So if Robin falls, he would be the second one to take out immediately." Slade said in a thoughtful voice.

Terra nodded. "Next?"

Slade typed away again and pulled up a picture of Raven. Terra chuckled.

"The witch?" She asked. "She was the hardest one to gain the trust of, but not impossible. She has to control her emotions, which she struggles with. I've seen her lose her temper a few times."

"Make her tick the right way and…" Slade said.

"And she will fall easily." Terra said with a wave of her hand and a smirk on her face.

Slade turned back to the computer and pulled up a picture of Starfire. Terra placed her chin in her palms, resting her elbows on her knees.

"She's a powerhouse." Terra stated. "But she's too trusting. She's willing to give people a chance and is too kind and forgiving." She said simply.

"How unfortunate for her." Slade said. He then pulled up a picture of Beast Boy.

Terra's smirk fell from her face as she looked at his picture. The tight pain in her chest hit her again for a moment.

"Beast Boy has feelings for me." Terra said more quietly. "They can be used against him."

"Very good, my apprentice." Slade said. "I trust your former feelings for the changeling won't get in the way of destroying him."

Terra was looking at the ground. "Of course not, Slade."

"Good." Slade said as he sat back down in his chair. "That is all."

Terra looked up at Slade, slightly surprised. "Aren't you going to ask me about Robin? He is the leader after all."

"I know Robin well enough to know his weaknesses. He was my apprentice at one time." Slade said, a slight scowl in his voice. "Robin's friends are his undoing."

Terra was silent for a moment. Slade cocked his head to the side.

"Do you disagree, my dear?" He asked.

Terra shook her head. "No, his friends are his undoing."

"But?" Slade asked.

"But one in particular more than the others." Terra said.

Slade sighed. "Ah yes, Robin's feelings for the alien powerhouse, Starfire."

Terra nodded in earnest. "I've seen how they've acted around each other, especially in battle. Besides, Beast Boy told me they were all secretly waiting for them to get together."

Slade got up from his chair and walked over to the computer. He typed away and pulled up footage of the Titans fighting. He froze on a frame that Starfire and Robin were in together.

"Yes, I picked up on it a while ago." Slade said as he looked at the image on the screen. "When Robin was my apprentice he would fight all of the Titans except for her. When I ordered him to use his thermal blaster on her he refused."

Terra sat, with wide eyes, listening intently.

"When I triggered the Nano-probes in the titans he was begging me to stop, with her dying in his arms. I think she was the final motivation that drove him to infect himself with them." Slade said as he banged his fist on the panel.

"So remove Starfire from the equation and Robin will fall with ease." Terra stated.

"Just make sure Robin's there to watch." Slade said viciously.

"Don't worry," Terra said with a flip of her hair as she started for her room, "consider it done."

Starfire sat on the edge of Titan's Tower, her knees to her chest and her head resting atop her knees. Her eyes were watching the sunset, but her mind was far, far away from where she was.

"Do you mind if I join you?" A voice asked from next to her.

She was startled for a moment, but smile and nodded. Robin sat down next to her and for a moment they sat in silence.

"Star, are you okay?" Robin asked with concern as he looked at her. "You've been quiet all day."

Starfire bit her lip. "I have been thinking about Terra and everything that happened the night she betrayed us."

Robin understood. He had been thinking about that a lot recently too. They all had. By now Terra had probably reunited with Slade and were planning some sort of attack on the Titans. Robin knew that she had probably told Slade all about them. Their strengths and their weaknesses.

He looked at Starfire. Had he made it obvious to Terra about how he felt towards the girl sitting next to him? He couldn't think about losing her. The thought alone caused his heart to ache.

"He is going to have Terra use us against each other." Starfire said quietly.

Robin was taken aback. She had said exactly what he had been thinking, what he feared the most.

"No, I won't let him." He said without thinking. No one was going to take her from him if he could help it.

"Robin, I do not want to lose you." Starfire said suddenly. Her eyes were filling with tears. "I can not bare the thought of losing anyone, but especially you and-"

"Star!" Robin said, taking her hands in his. "No one is going to take me away from you."

Starfire's eyes met Robin's masked ones as she blinked back tears.

"You can not be certain." She said.

"I know." Robin responded. "But I am certain about some things."

Robin's hand reached up and touched her cheek softly. Slade and Terra already knew. They couldn't stop what was coming now. So even though there was a part of Robin that told him to stop, a stronger part willed him on. Starfire instinctively leaned in, her eyes falling to his lips. Robin pulled her closer, bringing his lips to hers.

Starfire's hands found his face, holding him gently as she deepened their kiss. Robin pulled her closer, consumed by her smell and that taste of her tongue on his lips. He could have lived in this moment forever.

They eventually broke apart, both smiling at each other. Starfire leaned her forehead against his, her eyes closed.

"You are not worried that I am your weakness?" She asked.

"My greatest weakness," Robin said, "but also my greatest strength."

Starfire only smiled as the sun continued to set in the newly darkening sky.

Well, I've been thinking about writing this for a while. It's been in the back of my head, but I didn't know exactly how I wanted to do it. Then I watched some TT episodes last night and was like screw it I know what I want to write now.

Anyway if you enjoyed drop me a review because I truly appreciate them!
