A/N- Hallow, all, once again. I'm back, after FINALLY getting over my writer's block. Evil thing that is. I start back to school soon, sadly, and updates will come slower. I'll have absolutely NO time, but I will still write! I hope. That's about it.
Disclaimer- I don't own the Teen Titans, I know, I know. If I did, Terra would be dead, and the season would be over, dammit! GAH!!! heh- enjoy!
The Titans never did train that day. It was mostly spent looking for clues. They couldn't track her communicator, because she didn't have it with her. A quick check of her room showed that it was still on her dresser. Cyborg spent half the day watching the security monitors. For some reason, they showed Starfire eating her toast one minute, and the next she was... gone. Just like that. He found no one entering, no one leaving. His motion sensors hadn't picked up anything. Maybe, just maybe, Starfire left on her own accord. But that was next to impossible. She would have told someone; then there was that note. Written in blood. He couldn't find any security breaches, which would show up if someone had done something to the circuits, turned off the power, etc. And, even if there was, his internal computers would have picked it up. There wasn't anything wrong with them. So, there weren't many things to do, except wait. Robin decided they should all get some rest, and they would have a meeting in the morning.
She came in the night again. She was enjoying fooling them. It was so much fun. I mean, the Tower was easy enough to find. Even an idiot could find it. Didn't they think it a little...dangerous that they were so known? I mean, anyone could fly over and drop a bomb on them. Everyone knew Robin's mentor, Batman, had one of the most secret lairs in the country. For that matter, in the world. So, all she had to do was find Jump City, and there it was. A huge T sticking up from an island. In the middle of an ocean. How pitiful.
But she wasn't here to complain about their choice of housing. She was here for them. She had decided on watching Beast Boy tonight. He was so cute, sleeping with his little stuffed animal. It was hard, though, not making noise. He had many piles of junk on the floor. She could barely find his bed. How could someone live like that? After watching him sleep for awhile, she left the Tower. She'd be back.
The next morning, the playful breakfast banter was sadly absent. Cyborg and Beast Boy didn't even have the epic real meat/tofu meat argument. They didn't have their referee. It wasn't fun without Star.
But everyone was at the table. Even Raven hadn't left for the roof. They were all there, eating their breakfast. Well, it was more picking at their breakfast than eating it. Most of all, it was quiet. Yes, there was the noise of silverware against plates, the refrigerator humming, and the sink dripping. But there was no talking, no laughter.
Star wasn't there to make them talk. Although Robin was the leader, Star was like a glue that held the team together. Kept them friendly. She wasn't there. Raven looked woefully at the clock; it was 8:35. Starfire would be watching Newlyweds right now.
Robin cleared his throat, 'Uh, guys? You can, uh, all get changed, and then we can have that, uh, meeting. In the living room. At 10. Okay?'
The Titans nodded. Everyone got up, trudging to their rooms. No one wanted this meeting, but it had to be done. They had to go over safety precautions.
Beast Boy got to his room, and started to change. Wow. Robin seemed pretty upset at breakfast. We all did. We all were. But I think Robin had a crush on her. HAS a crush. Starfire isn't dead. She can't be dead. I mean, right? Who could kill Star? She's...Star. Our Star. No one can take our Starfire away, dammit! BB tried to hold back his tears as he left for the living room.
Raven was already there. So was Robin. They weren't talking, or even moving. Just sitting there. Robin's mask hid his eyes, shielding his thoughts. Raven's hood was up, as usual, but it was pulled down over her eyes. If they had seen them, they would have been slightly red and puffy.
BB sat down next to Raven, and stared at the television and the three game consoles they had. She isn't going to umpire our games anymore. NO! She will! Star isn't dead! He tried to disguise his sob with a cough. Raven looked over, and she felt bad for him. She knew how he felt. It was hard. Star was like her best friend. Is my best friend, dammit! She is coming home soon, and I'll go to the mall with her. And she can even pick out for me. Raven was trying to keep her emotions in check. She had already trashed her room crying. She was fighting a losing battle. It was futile. Everyone's nerves were on end. They were all sad and a little scared.
Cy walked in, slumping. They all gathered on the couch, waited for Robin to speak.
'Okay. I know this is a hard time for all of us. Starfire was a friend to us. She was family. I think we all need to stay together, power in numbers. We need to have our communicators at ALL times. This isn't just a test. Starfire is gone. Our teammate is missing. There is a chance she's still out there, but there is no way to be sure. All we can do is hope for the best. And wait. We're keeping the buddy system here. We go to the bathroom in twos- one person waits outside until the other is done. I think we should all sleep here tonight. I know it's brutal, but we have to stay together. For Star. Now, has anyone got the mail?'
Beast Boy spoke up, 'Naw, that's Sta... I'll get it.'
He walked outside to get the mail. He came back with a square cardboard box and a fistful of mail. He set the on the table. Raven reached for the mail to sort it, and Robin went to the kitchen for a razor blade. This would be the time when BB would make a joke about the contents of the box. 'Maybe it's a bomb! Or underwear!' were the usual antics. But not this time.
Robin came back to the living room with the knife. He was curious as to the contents. He would be more excited if Star was here. She was always loved the mail. If Robin hadn't been so depressed, he would have noticed the lack of postage on the box. He could have seen it before it was too late. He opened the box, and screamed.
'Robin! What's wrong?' yelled Cyborg, looking in the box. 'Oh, Jesus. No, no. It's Starfire. Her head. She's...oh, Jesus.'
Heh- how'd you like it? It could have been better, but I am still nursing a blocked mind. So there! Hehe. So, please review. I have sunk so low that i don't care what you say about my story! I just want to know more than two people have actually read this piece of crap! :cries: Just Kidding! hehe
