Edge of Yesterday
Teen Titans doesn't belong to me. It belongs to my cousin, Earl. Not many people know that Earl owns Teen Titans, but I do. Because Earl owns everything. So what if Earl is completely insane and delusional and thinks that he's Abraham Lincoln? So do I…
Summary: Teen Titan's do Groundhog's Day. If you've never seen that movie or heard of the concept (In which case you are deprived), that means that they repeat the same day over… and over… and over again. Until something breaks the loop. There are not enough Starfirecentric pieces right now, unless they are under the 'Romance' genre.

Day 1: The Third Day
~~~~~
Something's wrong… I remember this…
Starfire didn't give it another thought- there was no time for paranoid illusions! Starbolts glowing in her hands, the green energy leaving trails of light behind her as she streaked up towards their monstrous foe.
It was enormous- a monster made of rock and steel, built out of concrete, steel I-beams as its bones, bones which protruded from its body wherever it saw fit. Its hands were the size cars, stony and tremendously powerful- and they were crushing everything in their sight; buildings crumbled, cars and lampposts were knocked aside, and people were… crushed.
And this monster… he had Robin in one of his massive fists.
"Release my friend, bad creature!" Starfire shouted, and threw both of her starbolts. The green energy struck the beast's hand just above the wrist- knocking concrete in every direction. It roared in pain, a guttural, grating sound akin to claws on a chalkboard, and released Robin. The Boy Wonder plummeted towards the street- Starfire dove after him.
The monster's fist swung towards her- Starfire, too intent on catching Robin before he hit the ground much, much too far below- did not see it coming, and could not dodge. The monster slammed her up against the building; ground her body between its fist and the building.
Pain flared through her body, but not as great as the pain of the knowledge that she… she had let Robin fall… if only her other teammates had been there! But they were not… they were gone…
The monster withdrew his fist, and Starfire fell. Fell.
But unlike Robin, she could fly. She had lost a lot of strength, by now, but not enough to finish her completely. She rocketed back up towards the behemoth's head, her entire body now glowing with green energy. It was time to finish this… time to finish the monster once and for all.
The two titans struck at the same time. Starfire released a bolt of energy so strong it disintegrated the chest of the beast. But its fist was already coming down- it struck Starfire from above. She was driven to the ground, so fast that her collision with the streets rent the concrete, throwing up debris around her. With a pained moan, Starfire tried to turn her body… but couldn't. She was paralyzed… and a shadow was growing over her head.
The beast was to fall on top of her…
Starfire closed her eyes. It didn't matter. Small pebbles struck her back and head as the beast began to tumble. It didn't matter. She had failed her friends, all of them, in the most horrible way possible. She had let them die.
So her end… her death… It didn't matter.
