Here it is!! The beginning of the end guys! Of this storyline anyways! This is not the end of Kor'I stories. I'd miss her to much.

sparklebluelemon: (as this is from the previous fic, it makes more sense to put it up here) The ending was supposed to be very different. Originally, I was going to have a less dramatic scene where they try to have something, but Cy runs in. Then I changed some of the details, like moving the scene to the gym and stuff. The changes enabled me to think about not putting them together. I debated this while I wrote the entire chapter and now they're not. But that doesn't mean they don't want a relationship. . . they're just to stubborn.


The Return of Starfire

Previously: And just like that, Nightwing gave up and walked right out of the gym. "Sorry Kor, but your problems will have to wait" Vic Stone replied. "I think we've found a way to bring Star back".

Now

1 Month Later

Kor'I, former member of the Justice League and currently a Titan, shuddered. She was lying unconscious on a bed in the Titans' hospital (see 'Haunted' and 'The Beast Within') and Raven was floating behind her, hands placed on Kor's forehead. "Have you ever used this spell before?" Donna Troy, adopted Amazon, demanded.

"I wouldn't purposely hurt her" Raven barked back in her usual dry tone. "And yes, I have used this spell before. Do you remember Malchior?" Beast Boy snorted.

"How could we forge-oof!" Cyborg had elbowed him and BB was now rubbing his rib cage. "Duuude," he whined. "That hurt".

The former athlete simply ignored his fried, like he was used to and directed a question at Raven. "The dragon?"

"Yes".

"That you summoned out of the book" Nighwing finished slowly. "Raven, is this going to hurt her? Kor's a real person, not an inanimate object".

Raven eyed the masked vigilante. "I can't promise that it won't. This isn't me yelling Azarath Metrion Zinthos and picking up a car. This is a highly complex and magical spell designed for extraction. I was only able to use it before because a more powerful magical being was influencing me. I'm more powerful now, but last time I didn't have much of an idea of what I was doing".

"What're we waiting for then?" Beast Boy asked eagerly, his bruised ribs forgotten. "Bring Star back, Rae!"

"Beast Boy" the empath sighed. "This isn't like Terra. I can't use this spell to help her. Starfire's subconsciousness is inside Kor'I and her body is located in another dimension. Terra's subconsciousness is either dead or dormant. It's not the same".

Before Beast Boy could reply, Arsenal cut him off. "Look B, I get you wanna bring your girl back, but let's focus on what's going on right now, okay? What're we waiting for anyways, Raven?"

"I'm not powerful enough to do this spell on my own" the empath said dryly. "The Harold, Flash, Thunder and Lightning are going to be helping, and we need to give off the signal".

"Ready?" Vic asked. Raven nodded, pulled up her hood and placed her hands on Kor's forehead.

"She'll be fine" Donna muttered under her breath. "They're both gonna be okay". But the worried and tense look on Raven's face scared Troy more then anything. Raven didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't ready, but for her friend she was ready to forsake everything. Even Kor'I.

"We're ready, guys" the man-machine said into his t-communicator. He nodded to Raven as lightning flashed across the sky.

"Hezberek Et Morine" the empath chanted. "Gost Wenthen Verbis Nex Ind Obrium Bis Pendrule Paran Sic Cortis Rex". Lightning flashed across the sky again, as the room went dark. The only light came from the crackling lightning of the speed force surrounding a worm hole, but the Titans could still see each other. "Grasp hands" the half-demon yelled at her teammates. "Whatever you do, don't break the chain!"


The idea for this chapter comes from both 'Spellbound', obviously, (I can't believe I thought of that spell!) and the Terror of Trigon, which is a storyline in the popular New Teen Titans series from the '80s. It is also what Season 4 is based off of.
