BLACK HEART

(RATED M)

Four broken ribs. Three huge stitches. Two deep cuts. One broken heart.

It was the regular routine. We come back from a mission, I make some tiny mistake and he beats me. Every night, I cry as he hurts me; As he abuses me. I don't even know why we're still dating. My friends try to shield me from him, and I love them like they're my siblings. Yet, try all they might, he still manages to repeat what he does every night of my life. I can't be here anymore. I can't call myself Starfire anymore.

Starfire's POV:

Thud.

Blood trickled down from my forehead; getting into my eyes. I quickly wiped my eyes and got back up. It's been an hour since we started fighting Slade's bots. Slade must have improved on them, because they were tougher than they were before. As three more came up to me, I quickly flew up and blasted all of them with my starbolts. As more come my way, I fire more and more starbolts, until one of them shoots me down with their laser. As I fall, I take a quick look around the battle scene. We are losing horribly. Cyborg was being overwhelmed with bots, while the bots had knocked out Raven. Beast Boy was nowhere to be seen. Robin was in a fierce combat with Red X. For some reason, the self obsessed criminal was working with the ruthless madman, Slade. That's when I spotted him. Slade was watching the whole battle unfold before him. Right after I hit the ground, I instantaneously get back up and fly towards Slade. I blast him with two strong eyebeams that knocks him back. Once I land I see a figure run past me and starts fighting. It was Robin. "Starfire, take care of Red X!" He yelled. I scanned the area for him, and quickly saw him trying to get out of the battle. I easily catch up to him, and shoot him with a starbolt. X was already on the ground. As I walked towards him, he turned around and said "Hey Cutie. Nice to see you." I lit a starbolt in my hand ready to attack. "Are you okay? Or should I ask, are you okay with him?" Red X asks. My starbolt decreased. 'Is he literally asking if I'm okay? Which I'm obviously not. But how does he know about Robin abusing me?' I must have taken a long time to answer, because he said "I'm sorry if I hit a sore spot for you. But just know, if you came with Slade and I, I would care for you. Starfire, I really do care for you." With that Red X got up, pulled back his some of his mask, and kissed me. Instead of pulling away I wrapped my arms around his neck. His right hand traveled to my right leg, and rubbed up and down softly. Instead of cringing the way I did when Robin did this to me, I liked the feeling of Red X touching me. Then Red X was knocked to the ground, trying to deflect Robin's punches. I felt horrible that Red X was getting beat up, but when we saw me worried, he smiled at me. "Well kid, it's been fun, but I gotta go." Red X smirked, as he phased away. I looked around me. Raven was starting to wake up, and so was Beast Boy. Cyborg was still knocked out. When I looked in front of me, Robin was snarling at me.

"What the fuck was that Starfire!" Robin growled. "You were supposed to take down Red X, not make out with him! You're such a pathetic bitch! You can't do a single thing right! We don't want you on this team, but I need you only because of your powers."

Hot tears streamed down my eyes. This time I was learning about the people I used to trust. They really don't want me around. I must be an annoyance to them, every time they save me when Robin hurts me. The tears wouldn't stop coming. Inspite of my tears, Robin kept yelling and cursing at me. Then he punched me. For the third time today, I had been knocked to the ground. He kicked me, cut me, and verbally abused me. Then he touched my breast, groping them painfully hard. Suddenly my top, my bra, and my skirt were ripped off of me. When Robin went to take off my underwear, I covered my breast with my arms and shook my head 'No'. He saw this action and slapped my face, telling me to uncover them. After this, he took of my underwear, took off his pants and boxers, and painfully thrust into me. More tears clouded my vision, as I screamed in pain. But Robin just continued thrusting, vigorously hard. "I guess I only need you for one thing: sex." Robin whispered to me. About 3 minutes later, he put his clothes back on and headed towards his R Cycle. Leaving me naked, hurt, and crying. Cyborg must have gotten up, because he wrapped something around me, and carried me to the T-Car. "I'm really sorry Star. I wish I could have woken up sooner to help you." He gently whispered. I just blankly nodded my head, still crying my last tears out.
