CHAPTER 3
The Evil Within Starfire
"NEW TRACK RECORD!" shouted Cyborg happily, bragging to the others. Starfire was sitting on the bench in a somewhat pondering state. "Starfire, I need to talk to you…" Robin said as he sat down next to Star, "Yesterday, was that natural." "That is natural, but that was at an hg her extent, I hope it will not get worst…" she looked down to her knees, Robin reached in to put his arm around her neck, "On this planet you might call it a mood swing.." she said watching on as Raven took her turn.
"But you're old enough, you shouldn't have those anymore…" He replied looking at her. "On my planet, the mood swings last for a very, very long time, that is why Blackfire is constantly changing altitudes." She answered still looking on as Raven broke Cyborg's record. *Ka-POW!* they all looked back in horror as Titans Tower, bursted into flames, "Take Cover!" Cyborg shouted, as debris started to fall. "You just had to talk about her… Titans GO!" As ships came through full view, Blackfire had already managed to break out of her cuffs.
"Sister! STOP!" Starfire yelled as she flew over to her. "Hello little sis, I'd like to tell you something…." she instantly punched her out of plain view into the tower, Blackfire following. "Star!" Robin shouted as he demanded someone take him up. "Robin, watch out!" Raven yelled, as they watched the aliens start to fire inside the tower. "No! NO NO!" Robin yelled with a fist up to them. The tower got flung away, leaving the rest to be utterly destroyed at that point.
Everyone's mouth opened as the ship started to shade everything of what was left of the tower, they quickly moved out not finding anything or any life forms left inside the tower. "Starfire?!" Robin had already started to run for her, as soon as the tower collapsed into the ocean. They found her body amongst the rubble and shattered glass, "Starfire? Are you okay?" Beast Boy questioned, she didn't respond leaving Robin hoping for her life. "Vitals… heart rate… blood supply…" Cyborg went on to only have one answer left.
"She's… She's" Cyborg took a deep sigh, "She's gone." Cyborg looked over to Robin, only to be met with a shocked face, he started to grit his teeth, getting his fists ready. "It's not true, she is not dead." Beast Boy slowly stood back as Raven confirmed Cyborg. "She is gone…" "WHAT?!" He took a deep sigh and looked over to the sky, to see the ship finally leave. "Get into the T-Ship. Now.." he said as he watched the faint line disappear, everyone obliged and ran to what was left of the hanger. Quickly, they left chasing after the ship, not laying one finger with Blackfire.
Amongst the rubble left a "dead" Starfire and Blackfire. Her eyes opened as fastly as she could, she didn't know she was technically dead for a few minutes, she couldn't move and watched as the T-Ship left her view. "They gave up on you…." Slade walked up from behind, "They left you to die, They betrayed you." Starfire still couldn't move or talk, but was having the darkest thoughts she had ever had, she struggled to move but got on her feet. "No… they did not." Slade turned his head slightly, "Now what kind of Family, would do such a thing?" She started to stand back, fearing for the truth, she got her fists ready and her eyes started to glow green. "All you need to know is that, they killed you, And I know what you're thinking about. And for that I say it's true." Starfire once again stood silently, she literally felt revenge for the first time, and minute by minute, she started to believe him. "You want revenge, refuge.. well I'm the guy." She didn't know why and at this she didn't really care.
Slade had pulled out his hand revealing a badge, engraved within it was the signature S. She took a step closer, she was tempted to take It, but her own dark wishes. "No need to struggle, my dear. Serve me and you will get that revenge." He pulled off an even colder voice then earlier. She tried to resist, but the urge already killed her good side, but at the same time, she never thought she could be this vulnerable to him, she wanted to find out, but now wasn't the time. She reached in and grabbed the badge, "Good. Now we must get you patched up." They walked off Titans island, hopping on a motorcycle.
"ROBIN! Calm down! You know we shouldn't be messing with these guys." Raven said, looking over to Cyborg and Beast Boy how acted clueless. "I don't care, they killed my girl, they better know what's coming."
