This is simply Star's thoughts on the fact that everyone thinks she is weak. Enjoy.
Weak, fragile, useless, those are people's thoughts when they think of me. Even my own team mates believe such a thing to be true. They may never voice it, in front of me, but I can tell through their hushed tones while I'm around or by their actions.
They way they watch me as I worry over whatever small insect that is wondering on the grass.
The way they are always with me to make sure I understand what I'm doing. Yet I have been on thisplanet for many years and well aware of the ways things wrok.
They way, in battle, they always feel the need to protect me when we are facing an adversary. Yet when I am alone I am capable of protecting myself from them.
While rescuing a citizen from a threat they always cluster around me as though I am the one they came to safe and not the other person cowering in the corner. Yet when I am rescuing a citizen by myself I am able to keep us both protected.
Even now while we stand in front of Slade for another take down fight and he sends his minions after us. They feel the need to help me fight off my share and their own. Yet when I am cornered by Slade and his little new robotic goons I am able to fight off thirty yet now I am not even "capable" of fighting off twenty.
Finished with the fight, the little amount that I was allowed to do, we follow him through his circuitous, narrow trail.
AS always we stop at a stare off, us between him seeing who will speak first, in the end we always do. As normal he looks at us after Robin's outburst, obviously not caring that he was threatened. He stares everyone down, my teammates repeating the act.
Of course it ends the same way, with me actually caring too much and somehow causing Slade to get away. Robin turned to me and glared, I was always the cause of Slade's escape never a help.
For once I wasn't going to have it. I glared back and turned to Slade and flew off through the small hole that he had recently escaped, getting yelled at by my team to stop.
I flew after him with only one goal, hurting Slade. He came to a halt and turned back to stare at me.
"Well well well it's just me and you Starfire." Slade stared back at me. I could practically see his smirk under his mask.
"This ends here" I replied my hands glowing.
"It could but it's not as though your team mates would actually believe you did It." he spoke as though aware of my situation. I stared back not sure if, as you say, my tongue was in the hand of the cat or if I couldn't answer back because it was true.
"Such power wasted around those who aren't even aware." he said filling in the silence. I could feel him shining in his glory, happy that I was cornered.
"Once you are sure what you want... call me." he then turned towards the end of the cliff and jumped. I flew to him and saw as he disappeared right in mid air.
Maybe there was a way to no longer be weak. But was this the right one?
"Star." I turned form the corner of the cliff to my teammates.
"Are you alright?" Beastboy asked. Raven and Cyborg stepped forward checking to make sure I'm alright. Robin seemed to look around, obviously trying to find if any evidence left of Slade.
"Let's go." Robin ordered. Everyone gave me a small smile and followed Robin back. I started walking also and gave a quick glance back at the tip of the cliff. I saw a piece of paper on the floor that hadn't been there. I flew back and picked it up.
It said just three words."I'll be waiting." I looked around again and then looked back to the card. I turned back to the team and put the card in my pocket. It be something worth looking into.
I'm not saying Star will turn evil to be recognized as a strong individual I don't know if i should actually make it a sorry or not so yea But i hope you enjoyed it.
