Nightfire
A Teen Titans Fanfic
"Well, be careful, girl." Cyborg said to Starfire, the others standing around as Starfire had her suitcase full of clothes.
"I feel bad to leave you all here without me…" she said softly, looking down.
"Starfire, Galfore is the one that raised you as a child. If he's sick, you should go see him. It's not a bad thing." Robin insisted.
"Ok, Robin…" she said, smiling wide.
They kissed, and Robin whispered, "Stay safe, Star."
"I shall." She whispered back, and they both smiled.
She walked towards the doors out of the Tower. She looked back, and waved, smiling bright.
She walked out, as Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg all stared at the door.
"Come on, we've got work to do." Robin told the other Titans.
"Right." Cyborg said, nodding, but still staring at the doorway. A feeling in his metal gut told him something was wrong.
And it was.
3 weeks later, Cyborg walked up to Robin, with Raven and Beast Boy nearby minding their own business.
"Robin, I need to speak to you." Cyborg whispered, leaning over to Robin's ear as he was sitting on the couch.
"What?" Robin said calmly.
"Alone…" Cyborg added. That caught Raven and Beast Boy's attention. Robin stood up, and walked with Cyborg to the hallway.
Beast Boy and Raven peeked their heads out around the doorway, as Cyborg said, "Robin, something's gone wrong."
The metal door slid shut, and Raven and Beast Boy both put their ears to the door.
"What? Why haven't they been searching for her then?" Robin said loudly, after Cyborg had explained what was wrong.
"They've been searching for 2 weeks straight, Robin. They can't find her ship. They think her ship collided with an asteroid." Cyborg tried to whisper.
Robin shook his head in frustration, and looked away. Cyborg began, frowning, "They think… she's… a goner, Robin. The impact was so bad it would of killed her instantl-"
Robin turned around, furious, stood up, and got in Cyborg's face. "NEVER SAY THAT." He yelled.
Beast Boy turned his head away, losing interest in the conversation because of what he just heard. He then walked over to the couch, and plopped down on it.
Raven kept her right ear to the door still, trying to hear some more. Her gaze was towards the windows as she tried to focus on hearing.
Beast Boy muttered, "She can't be dead…"
Raven didn't respond, still listening.
"She won't be. Star won't die. Robin won't let her." He continued to mutter, as if trying to convince himself.
Robin and Cyborg then walked out the door, and Raven slid sideways away from the doorway.
Robin walked out, not a bit of emotion on his face, solemnly. Cyborg tried to act like everything was fine to Raven and Beast Boy. "Well, y'all, I'll be working on the T-Car. If you need me, you know where to find me." He said.
He put on a fake smile, and walked out the door towards the garage, whistling like it was a fantastic day. Even though he knew it wasn't at all.
Robin sat down, and muttered. "It's over."
Raven asked in surprise, "What?"
"I can't do this anymore." Robin muttered, and stood up. "The Teen Titans are over."
He walked out the door.
Beast Boy had twirled around at those last few words in shock, and then slumped and plopped back on the couch.
Raven looked over at Beast Boy, tearing up. One of the few times her face showed emotion.
"It's over…" she said, and started sobbing. She took off down the hall, to her room, to pack.
Beast Boy had a straight face, arms crossed, just staring off at the bay out the open windows. He then frowned, and pouted, his eyes having an empty gaze.
