A/N: Okay I've changed my mind I liked the first chapter and told myself I would be doing this website a dishoner if I didn't continue it, I just love cliffhangers cause it gives you so much potential when it comes down to it, and I've created an awesome plot this story wont be too long because it sort of skips around like from week to week, and describes little happening but mostly the big parts this will probably be done in 5 chapters then I can hopefully close down The Star in the Dark Chp. 2, oh and if anyone notices I've created a connection between this story and my other story 14 Years you'll realize it once you read it. It's a small connection but they'll talk about the connection in 14 Years and it will cause major spoilers for this story and future stories, I'm trying to create relations that you'll be able to put together to create what happened after the last Teen Titans episodes, at least my version.
Disclaimer: I dont own Teen Titans, period.
It's hard for her to understand, how a single guy could make her heart soar or fall. He wasn't even much like her, he was hard, cold, serious, determined, and was very shifty, he was her total opposite, yet she was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Last week Robin had left her standing atop a roof with nothing but cryptic clues to why he left her. Ever since that night she's been locked up in her room with the ten million pictures of Robin she had, starring at them so intently it was almost as if she were wiling Robin to come out of the pictures and back to her. She just couldn't understand, she remembered what he said every single word engraved into her brain and more importantly they way he said it, a sad bitter way.
I'm doing this for you Star.
What was he doing and more importantly why? The rest of the Titans think he's dead, they say that there is no way Robin could've survived the jump, though their analysis might've changed if she had told them about their little conversation on the roof but for now all the rest of the Titans knew nothing. Today is the memorial/funeral, pretty much all of Jump is going to be watching it live on TV since practically every news station in the country was lining up on the roof of Titans Tower were the memorial was in place of a casket because there was no body. Heroes were flying in across the country to view the ceremony but amazingly not Robins mentor/father Batman, he had decided to stay in Gotham, which for some reason just seemed to tick her off. She walked out onto the top of the tower wearing a short black dress and netting hung down from her large black sun hat that was supposed to help hide her grief filled face. She looked and saw her fellow teammates standing next to the coffin emotion ridden even Raven who looked more emotionless than usual she figured they had so much grief that they turned off their emotions completely for the moment. Starfire walked in front of her friends and took her seat which happened to be closest to the memorial they had made for him. She listened and watched as people whispered while staring at her; about how sad it was too lose the one she truly loved at such a young age. As she looked across the crowd seeing many familiar faces one seemed to stick out. He was staring right at her intensely with his one eye, standing right next to door that lead back down into the hall outside the Monitor Room. Starfire stood up and walked straight towards him no one bothering to look at her because they all just thought she couldn't handle the memorial and didn't want anyone to see her cry. Starfire instead ran to her room quickly to grab a few things but instead found something sitting on her table, a little black box and when she opened that box she found a green emerald shaped like a unique star within it. Along with the emerald star was a small little message.
Follow the Stars
She placed the star back into the small box and placed it in the pocket inherent skirt of her regular clones which she had just put on. Before she left she pulled out the skinny little flashlight Robin had given her a while back and then sprinted to the Monitor Room and found Slade standing their waiting for her.
"Why don't we just get it out now and agree that Robin's still alive, it's not in his nature to kill so he wouldn't see much difference between killing people and killing himself, unlike all those fools on the roof believe." Slade said
"First of all my friends are not fools, second of all I want you to find him and bring him back." She held out one of her bags and let a few Tamaranian Jewels fall out. She could almost see Slade's smirk underneath his mask, a titan asking for a criminals help was a new one, one he would be sure to remember.
"By all means I'd be happy to oblige but I will need better payment. My kind of work does not come cheap." He said. Starfire dumped the rest of the jewels out of the bag and then poured them back. She shoved the bag into his hands and he went through the jewels.
"This is what get for now the rest, you'll get after you've found Robin." He nodded and took the jewel thinking that for such a naive girl she wasn't one to get tricked too easily. Slade turned to leave the room but Starfire quickly spoke up stating her last demand.
"And you have to take me with you." She said. He stopped in a dead halt not bothering to turn around.
"I work alone." He stated.
"If you don't bring me with I'll double your pay in crystals." She stated. He reluctantly nodded and she pulled out her dress from the other bag she had been holding. She then broke one of the windows of Titans tower, the orchestra was playing above so nobody probably heard the crash, and she tossed the black dress out into the bay expecting it to wash up sooner or later to the other Titan's dismay. She just hoped this wouldn't tear the rest of the Titans apart completely like she knew it probably would. She looked up at the ceiling and left with Slade, her hands moving around that pocket playing with that box with the little star, that Robin had supposedly given her, rattling around inside.
She sighed and looked to the rising sun and thought,
Robin, you said you left me for me, but you never said I couldn't come after you. I'm coming Robin and you better be ready.
A/N: I just loved writing this I think the whole Slade and Starfire thing is quite funny because they only relate through one common thing, Robin. Starfire because they love each other and Slade because he's a major 'role' model in Robins life that when Robin finally decides whose footsteps to follow in, Slade's or Batman's. (Hint Hint!)
