guestsurprise, who owns Silverfire, wrote this story! Enjoy!
It had been 2 years since the terrible battle with Trigon and all of the titans were happy to put the battle behind them. Starfire and Robin were happy that the teen titans no longer had to worry about a threat from Trigon and they were hoping to settle down and lead a normal life. But that was all about to change; they all heard the warning signal and the lights were glowing red with much intensity.
"What's going on?" Robin said.
"There is a disturbance in the city; someone or something is scaring the citizens half to death!" Cyborg yelled out.
"Titans! Go!" Robin commanded. Everyone headed out into the city at a very rapid pace and saw people running and screaming.
"What's going on?!" Robin asked.
"MONSTER! MONSTER IN THE TOWN!" A man screeched.
"Monster?" Starfire asked. Suddenly, a silver energy ball went flying past them and almost hit them in the head.
"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" Raven yelled and she used an energy field to protect them from the blast.
"Thanks Ray; we all were about to be toast!" Cyborg said softly. Raven smiled in agreement and then they all ran to encounter the threat.
"CHARGE!" Robin yelled, but they all stopped short at what they saw. The "alien" looked similar to a Tamaranean, but there was something different about him. He was taller than Starfire, muscular, and he had black hair like her sister Blackfire. But his energy blasts were silver, not purple. He was very skilled in his techniques and he definitely was keeping the other aliens at bay, despite the fact that he had handcuffs on and a type of metal blindfold!
"Silverfire! You will return to the ship with us!" One alien commanded.
The one called Silverfire growled something in Tamaranean and then attacked the alien officers; he was putting up a great fight and definitely giving them a run for their money.
"Why is he fighting them?" Raven asked softly.
"It appears he too is some kind of a thief!" Robin responded.
"S-Silverfire?!" Starfire screamed out. Her scream made the handsome Tamaranean halt! He listened intently and responded something in Tamaranean. Starfire responded too. The police officers watched as he slowly began to fly towards Starfire, seemingly curious of her Tamaranean dialect.
"S-S-Starfire, I don't think he should come any closer," Beast Boy responded, now becoming a tiger.
"I don't think he will harm us; this is...is…my cousin." She gasped. All of them stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
"I thought that you had no other family but Blackfire and your brother Wildfire."
"I thought so too! As you all know, Wildfire is still missing, and Blackfire is in Tamaranean custody. Silverfire and his family disappeared around the time when my parents died. I did not know he was still alive until now!"
At present, the male Tamaranean was now levitating and circling Starfire and the other Titans; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
"Why isn't he blasting us?!"
"Because he senses that I am from Tamaran," Starfire responded quietly. He was still blindfolded and handcuffed, but he was still facing them and they could tell he was well aware of their presence.
"He can't speak or understand English; he will need to make lip contact with someone," Starfire said as she saw him curiously look at her, knowing he did not understand her language. He spoke something in Tamaranean and she nodded.
"We need to get him back to headquarters," Starfire whispered to Robin.
"WHAT?! WHY?!"
"Because he does not seem to remember me, but he trusts me because I am a Tamaranean. He has some things to discuss with us immediately! We must help him Robin; he is from my home world."
"NO! NEGATIVE!" A police officer boomed. "He is out of the legal boundaries of space; a Tamaranean is not permitted to be this close to Earth unless they are given permission like you were Starfire."
"But he needs our help!"
"I apologize, but those are the rules and regulations," the police officer added. Silverfire did not appear to be affected; when Starfire translated what they said into Tamaranean, he chuckled and replied something else to her in their native language.
"Guys come here quickly!"
"STOP THEM!" A police officer bellowed. But the Titans ran near Starfire and Silverfire began to chant a few words that formed a protective shield around them; within a few minutes they had disappeared. The space officers growled in annoyance.
"SEARCH THE AREA! SILVERFIRE MUST BE FOUND!" The chief commanded.
Meanwhile, back at the Titan's Tower, Starfire tried to get the steel cuffs and blindfold off of Silverfire. She was having tremendous difficulty because they were made to hold a Tamaranean.
"I do not wish to harm you cousin, but these are hard to get off." Starfire grunted as she tried to pull. Silverfire yelped something in Tamaranean and the other titans could only watch the show. Raven shook her head slowly and came forward.
"Allow me to help," She said as she used her power to get his handcuffs off. When she got closer to Silverfire stood up quickly and spoke something in Tamaranean. Raven's eyes glowed white because she was startled, but Starfire jumped in her way.
"Do not fear Raven; he heard your voice and sees you are female. He was asking if you would not mind having lip contact with him so he can learn our language," Starfire smiled, slightly blushing.
"Well…I…uh…" Raven was never asked by a man if he could kiss her or not.
"Oooooooooooooh, look at Ray Ray," Cyborg teased.
"Raven's got a new boyfriend!" BeastBoy laughed. But they both stopped as a rain of pillows smothered them from the couch thanks to her telekinesis. Meanwhile, Silverfire walked out a bit further; his hands in front of him feeling around to ensure he would not bump into anyone and spoke again in Tamaranean; this time with a smoother and calmer tone.
"He said he does not want you to be afraid and asked where you are." Starfire giggled, now enjoying this awkward moment. Raven's eyes opened a bit wider and she backed up.
"I don't think I should be the one to do this…"
"C'mon Raven…Starfire did it to me when she came to Earth," Robin smirked happily.
"I-I…AH!" Raven gasped as she now saw that Silverfire had a fix on her location due to his great hearing and he was now levitating towards her. She backed up until she was at the wall and watched him land only a few feet from her. He now spoke in a lower and smoother tone in Tamaranean. Starfire's eyes widened and she began to giggle and laugh!
"Silverfire, you're being cheeky!" Starfire laughed.
"W-what did he say?" Raven asked, now curious.
"He asked if you were shy and if so, he wanted to make your shyness disappear." Starfire laughed. Beastboy, Cyborg, and Robin were now laughing hysterically in the corner of the room, amused at the entire situation. Meanwhile, Silverfire closed in and now was only a few inches from her face.
"I will do it, but only because there is no one else right now," Raven said, now blushing hard. He spoke something in Tamaranean in barely a whisper and then gently lifted her chin. He then kissed her softly and within a few moments he released her. He stood back only a little bit and smiled at her.
"Thank you for your help. I do realize this was an interesting greeting. Will you please help me to get my blindfold off as well? I want to see the face of the one who assisted me," Silverfire smiled. Raven's face now turned a deep shade of red and she used her telekinesis to get the blindfold off. Once it was off, he ran his hands over his face and Raven's dark blue eyes met the light silver unwinking eyes of Silverfire.
"I thank you for your assistance," He smiled at Raven and gave her a gentle bow. He then turned around and faced Starfire and the others.
"S-Starfire?! I thought you were dead!" He gasped, now flying over to his cousin.
"I thought you were dead Silverfire!"
"No! We escaped, but now I am the only one of my family that is left," He said sadly. The cousins then embraced for what seemed like forever.
"I'm happy you recognize me now. So much has happened; I have been living on Earth and I finally stopped Blackfire from trying to take over the Tamarean throne!"
"Starfire, she has not stopped. She is trying to gain another army to take the throne by force. She refuses to give up!"
"Well, she cannot do it without a large army!" Robin smiled confidently.
"You don't understand my friend. She said she has an ally on Earth; someone who is going to help her with her domination."
"No…" Starfire whispered.
"It can't be…" Beast Boy gasped.
"She wouldn't use him, would she?"
"But he is evil enough to try to take over anywhere, whether Earth or Space. She is working with….Slade." Robin growled.
"This Slade you speak of; is he even more evil than Blackfire?"
"He makes her look like child's play; whatever he wants from outer space, he is using Blackfire for. Either way, we have an even bigger problem on our hands if Slade is involved." Robin responded gravely.
guestsurprise: Not sure about you guys but I loved the Teen Titans! :)
