Summary:

After losing her powers, Starfire feels she cannot be part of the Teen Titans anymore. She leaves the team of teenage heroes to live a normal life like a normal girl. But Robin shows her that having powers does not make a hero.

Disclaimer: Teen Titans is not mine.


Jump City was still in tact as they had hoped before they had departed for Tokyo. Their stay in that particular city in Japan was extended due to the leader's decision of a well-deserved vacation for his team. That, and because he was convinced by a certain someone that sometimes, even heroes can have "the fun".

"Booyah!" Cyborg exclaimed as the T-ship was landed on top of a large 'T' in the middle of an island, also known as Titans Tower. "Tokyo's saved and Jump City's still Jump City. Man, we kick butt!"

Beastboy jumped out of the ship and stretched. "Dude, I am so tired." He said as they walked inside their home.

"Yeah, sure you're tired. It's probably just an excuse so you don't have to play with me at-" Cyborg could not even finish his sentence as Beastboy interrupted him with a cocky grin, "It is so on now!"

Raven did not take her eyes off the book she had been reading during the whole flight back to their home. She quietly walked back inside their beautiful home without a word. Cyborg and Beastboy followed suit rambling on about beating each other at their video games.

Robin smiled. Everything was the still the same. Well, some things might have been slightly different. He looked to his left where his current girlfriend, Starfire, was standing; her right arm embracing her left with a smile just for him.

Immediately after seating themselves on the semi-circle couch, red lights flashed throughout the room and the alarm went off without warning.

"Aw, man. Not even one second and already there's trouble." Beastboy complained.

"Where is it at?"

Robin checked the computer and raised an eyebrow. "Here?"

As if on cue, a certain part of the tower blew up and created a hole.

"Well, well. I haven't been here in awhile. Aren't you going to welcome me back, little sister?"

Blackfire.

"You are not welcomed here, sister!" Starfire's eyes glowed a bright emerald and it shot out to her sister.

Blackfire easily dodged it. She flew away from the tower leaving the Titans to stare after. She shall not get away, Starfire thought. With her feet now off the floor, she followed her sister. Blackfire looked behind her and smirked. Everything was going according to plan. When Starfire ceased to throw her numerous star bolts at her, she took this time to turn around and strike back. Purple met green and green fell but caught herself just in time before she hit the rough surface of the island.

From above, Beastboy had turned into a pterodactyl and aimed to attack the Tamaranian criminal. When he had been hit, Cyborg jumped off of the dinosaur's claws and shot a sonic boom. But it was avoided. Raven had recited her infamous incantation and was able to constrict Blackfire under her dark spell. Robin took this chance to hit her with his Bo staff.

Blackfire fell on the ground with a loud crash.

"Stay out of this," she warned, "All I need is my sister. This is not any of your business."

"When you attacked Starfire, you made it our business," the leader replied hotly.

"What is it that you want from me?"

Blackfire leered. "You make this whole thing sound bad. All I want for you is to live a normal life like a normal GIRL!" she flew towards her sister and forced the younger one to land on the ground, back against the earth. Starfire was trapped. "This won't hurt," she paused, "much."

The older sister pulled an emerald gem from a necklace she had secretly been wearing and pressed it against the orange bare stomach of the younger sister. Starfire screamed from shock at first but then intensified as the gem astoundingly made its way inside her body. Her green eyes stopped glowing and her tanned orange skin changed into a warm peach; like that of humans. Her body ceased to move except for shallow breathings.

"Starfire!"

Arrangements of four different attacks were heading towards Blackfire. Hit. Blackfire had been too dissolved in hurting her sister to notice the attacks. Blood trickled down her mouth but made no difference to the black haired teen. The blood was wiped with an arm.

"It doesn't matter anyway. I'm finished here." Blackfire stated, "So long sister." And she flew away.

"Starfire!"

The four Titans ran to their alien friend. Robin picked her head up and laid it in his arms. "Starfire, say something."

"Robin," she muttered with eyes closed. "I feel unwell."

The boy wonder carried her bridal style back into the partly destroyed tower and laid her into a comfortable bed. As she quietly rested, she felt being strapped into the bed. She did not struggle for she knew she was being analyzed. Maybe this would give her the answers to her ailing feeling.

Raven and Beastboy looked out the door to check that she was all right. Robin stared at the monitor to make sure she was breathing steadily and that nothing strange was happening in her body. Cyborg was reading the analysis reports.

At last, Cyborg came up with a conclusion.

Starfire had heard and was eager to hear what he would say. Though he was in the other room, she could still hear.

"This ain't good but it's what's going on with Star."

"Yeah, just say it, man." Beastboy said.

All eyes were on the half-man, half-robot.

"Star's lost her powers. Permanently."
