Chapter 4, You Lift My Feet Off The Ground

Shiver. Cough. My eyes flutter open, piercing light shines in my eyes. Groan. Cough. Moan.

I leaned up, looking tiredly around the Rec Room. BeastBoy, Cyborg, and Raven stared at me. Rae was the first one to break out of the trance.

"Robin, what were you thinking?"

I didn't know what I was thinking. I coughed, shivered, and moaned. Three or four blankets rested on top of me, I couldn't feel their warmth. I opened my mouth to question her, but as I did last night rushed into my brain. Painfully. I fell back, mouth closed, eyes closed. I saw Starfire's frowning face. I take a deep breath inward, a single tear running down my face.

"I saw Starfire." I informed them flatly.

Silence. Deadly silence.

"How?" BeastBoy's voice was strained. I opened my now masked eyes and stared.

"I saw her in my mind. She told me not to jump." Raven looked angry. She was shaking with frustration; I swear I could see tears twinkle in her violet depths.

"That's impossible!" She snapped. BeastBoy took her hand in his, squeezing it tightly. I saw Raven visibly relax.

"It's not. She told me not to. If she really is dead, I am too." I repeated. Throbbing. Terrible throbbing. I groaned and fell back to rub my temples. Tap tap. I looked over at Cyborg. I hadn't noticed he left to go to the kitchen and get me a glass of water and a small blue pill.

"It'll help for the headache." He handed them to me. I took it in my gloved hand and stuck it on my tongue, swallowing it and the rest of the water in one gulp. The throbbing ceased to a dull burning in the back of my head. I sat the glass down on the coffee table and snuggled under the not-helping blankets. I dozed off, but I could still hear the three of them talking...I didn't know if I was just dreaming it or not.

"Raven, is there someway you can get inside Robin's head?" BeastBoy inquired.

"Maybe we could see if he was telling the truth," Cyborg's voice was sad. "Or if he's going insane. He does love Starfire. And can't stand to be without her very long..."

I shivered. Was it that noticeable of how I felt for the Tamaranien?

"I could possibly..." I heard Raven's nonchalant voice. I felt her eyes burning into my back. "I'll try. But somethings wrong. Starfire still may be alive, but the odds are against us. But I don't think she is." She paused. Then I heard her say three words before I fell into an unsteady, rough sleep.

"Azarath...Metrion...Zinthos."

Black. Nothing but black. The song Starfire sang rang in my head loudly.

You lift my feet off the ground,

Spin me around,

You make me crazier, crazier,

Feels like I'm fallin,

And I'm lost in your eyes,

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier...

I blinked once. Twice. Then Starfire was in front of me, looking angry. Her clothes were ripped and covered in soot. Confused, I hugged her. I almost forgot about how her skin was still so soft...

"Starfire..." I whispered, trying not to blink in fear of her disappearing.

"Friend Robin," Starfire hugged me, then let me go, but held onto my shoulders. "You almost died. Why did you do that?" Her face wasn't angry any more, but pained.

"I...I just wanted to be with you. When are you coming back?" I smiled down at her. I had hit another growth spurt, so I was her height, easily taller by a few inches. She looked up at me, tears sparkling in her eyes.

"Robin...I fear I may not come home for a long time. If at all," Starfire whispered. My smile disappeared. I grabbed her hands in my now un-gloved ones.

"What do you mean?" I squeezed her hands lightly, growing frantic.

"Robin, I have a mission I must do," she squeezed my hands. "Alone. She needs me."

I stared, in shock. "Whose she? Why can't I help you? I love you, Starfire! You don't have to do this alone. Tell me where you are so me and the others--" She was shaking her head.

"Dear Robin, I am sorry. But I cannot tell you, for I do not know. Even if I did, you are to ill too help me. I am alright. If I am not victorious..." Starfire trailed off. I felt a terrible knot in the pit of my stomach. Part of it was because of what she might say...the other, because she didn't say that she loved me too. I didn't dwell on that long.

"What will happen?" I questioned gently, moving my hands lightly up to her shoulders. Starfire looked me squarely in my eyes. Tears in her emerald depths.

"Then I will die." She responded.

I cupped her face in my hands, my own facade paling.

"I won't let that happen."

A green fire lit in her eyes, replacing the tears. "I know you will not--" Her head snapped around as if someone had yelled her name. Her eyes softened as she turned back to me. She got on her tippy-toes and whispered in my ear.

"I must go. I will never forget you, Robin." She kissed my cheek quickly before turning around and running away. I stood there like an idiot, watching her get smaller and smaller. I shook my head, then started after her.

"Starfire! Wait!" But she was to fast. I had to stop to catch my breath, but when I did, I started falling. Falling into endless black. Terrible emptiness. Then...

I shot up from my spot on the couch, in a cold sweat. I whipped the sweat away from my forehead, panting. Was it just me, or did the Tower get darker? I looked over to see a small green clock on the coffee table. It read "4:30AM". I sighed, laid my head down, and fell into a nightmare filled sleep about what could be happening to a girl I loved so dearly...

Starfire.


"Starfire! Starfire wake up!"

I shot straight up from the "nightmare" I was having and almost knocked Yimmji right off the side of the huge bed. I smiled widely, then embraced her in a spine-snapping hug. She hugged me back just as hard.

"Oh, Yimmji! You are well, yes?" I held her at arms length. She looked the same, only she was wearing a baby blue dress that looked exactly like mine and had a dagger necklace hanging on her chest.

"Yes, Starfire. But I'm not here to talk about me." Her smile faded. Slowly, I started to frown.

"It is not?"

Small Yimmji shook her head side-to-side, her beautiful long black hair was neatly combed, looking shiney as it hung to her waist.

"No. Starfire, you were talking in your sleep. Whose Robin?" She cocked her head to one side. I blushed and sat her down. I got out from under the blankets and let my feet hang off the side of the bed of sleep like she was.

"Robin is a very close friend." I said, unable to keep her intense stare.

"Just a friend?"

I looked back at her, alarmed. She had a smirk on her face. I blushed.

"No, no! Of course not--well, at least not to him." I found myself wanting to tell someone. Pour my heart out and not have anybody laugh. And I knew she wouldn't. Instead, she nodded and smiled.

"I bet he does care about you. Who couldn't?" I smiled at the thought. I closed my eyes to think back when we were stranded on that alien planet...and knew he did, too. Even though he wouldn't show it.

"Young Yimmji, I think you are right!" I squealed, smiling ear-to-ear. Then I looked down at her questioningly.

"How old are you, Yimmji?" I stood up, looked her carefully up and down.

"I'm ten thousand and a half years old!" She beamed. I blinked. She giggled at my startled expression. "That's ten in your years, Starfire."

"I am seventeen, how old am I in your years?" I inquired.

She chuckled. "Then you're seventeen thousand years old here." My eyes bulged. She winked.

"You wanted to know." Then she jumped up, skipped to the room of bathing, and came out with a brush and a bottle.

"Can I brush your hair? Its so pretty!" She cooed. I nodded and chuckled. She made me sit on my knees while she sat on the bed and combed my hair gently. It only took about 8 to 9 minutes until she yelled. "Done! And you look fabulous if I do say so myself."

She handed me a small mirror. I looked in it and smiled. She had put my hair back in some sort of braid, but it was more fancy. My hair was swirled, tucked, and held together with a brilliantly colored green clip. She left my bangs. I put the mirror down, turned to Yimmji, and attacked her in a hug.

"Thank you friend!" I sat her back down and just smiled. She grinned before taking my hand and leading me to the door.

"I want you to meet my friends." She opened the door and dragged me with her, barely letting me shut it before running down one of the long halls. I do not know how many turns we took, but we soon came to a large opening with several people there.

"Hey everybody! I want you to meet someone." She skipped in with me walking shyly behind her. The people lined up, some smiling, some staring.

"Everybody, this is Starfire." She took me up to a boy about her age, slightly taller then her. He was wearing what a waiter would wear back on Earth. A black shirt tucked into his white jeans with a gray tie that had two black stripes. He had brown hair, and troubled chocolate brown eyes. I watched as Yimmji blushed. I looked at the small boy, seeing him blush too and slightly smile.

"Starfire, this is Eli. He's my best friend." Eli bowed to me, but didn't take his eyes off of Yimmji. I dipped my head in respect.

"It is lovely to meet you, Eli."

"Likewise, Madam Starfire." He said coolly, smiling. Yimmji dragged me away.

"Isn't he cute?" She said dreamily. I smirked as she took me to a very handsome young man, about my age. He was wearing the same thing Eli was, he had black hair and green eyes. He blushed, and bowed. I felt goosebumps go up my arms. I bowed back.

"Star, this is Elliot. Eli's older brother. Elliot, this is Starfire, she's going to be staying with us for a while." He took my hand and kissed it, winking. Yes, he was attractive, but I already had somebody else in mind. A very nice Boy Wonder back home. Yimmji tugged on my hand, I followed. I came up to the woman who had given me my clothes. She smiled and dipped her head. I returned the gesture.

"Starfire, this is Pattyn. I'm sure you two know each other." I nodded. We went to the next person. It was a little girl, with big green eyes and light brown hair. She was looking up at me, giggling.

"Your pretty." She said. I smiled my thanks.

"Starfire, this is my other best friend, Eliza. She's Eli's and Elliot's sister. Eliza, this is Starfire." We shook hands before going on to another. He was tall, maybe older then me. He had dull amber eyes and auburn hair. Something about him...seemed off. I looked at Yimmji out of the corner of my eye. She seemed uneasy. The man bowed.

"I'm Adrone." His voice was husky. I nodded.

"I am Starfire. Nice to meet you." He leaned back up, not smiling. I looked away nervously then moved on to the next two people. The first one was a tall, blond hair blue eyed girl. She was absolutely stunning. She wore a white shirt, a black skirt, black high-heels, and had a small gray choker around her neck with a small black full-moon on it. And the next girl on her right looked exactly like her, only with black hair. They were checking their nails when they finally looked up and snorted.

"Name's Aphrodite." Snapped the blond.

"Name's Venus." The black haired girl looked me up and down. Shrugging their shoulders at each other, they went back to chattering. I frowned, and hung my head. I felt a nudge and looked down as Yimmji took me out of the room. I noticed that all the people in that room were wearing the same thing.

"Don't worry about them, Starfire. Their the mean twins," she informed. "They always cause fights." I brushed back a strand of hair from my eyes.

"They are truly not the nicest of people--" I looked up to late to see Situl right in front of me before I fell over him. Our faces landed only a few inches apart. Both of us were blushing.

"I am so sorry--" I squirmed up, blinking fast. Situl laughed.

"Its alright, Lady Starfire. Can I have a hand?" I reached out my hand and helped him up with what little strength I had without my powers. He was so close to my body, our skin touched. I blinked as Yimmji coughed, shifting from one foot to another. I took a step back looked around awkwardly before my eyes met Situl's. He didn't seem like he noticed the awkwardness, but smiled happily.

"Yij, I shall take Starfire on a tour of the castle. You can play with Eliza and Eli."

She was frowning, but turned around and walked away. I watched nervously as Situl grabbed my hand and gently lead me on a tour.

XXX

I didn't know how long it took, but we finally finished the whole castle in what seemed hours. It all looked the same to me. Red drapes, golden lined carpets, marble floors, a few windows here and there. We had gotten along great with each other. He even understood my jokes! I had a blast talking with him. We were both tired when we reached the very top of the tower. I gasped as I walked up to the railing with Situl tightly at my side. It was amazing. The sun was setting. Instead of the pink and orange on Earth, it was bright red and orange with yellow. It was breath taking.

"It is beautiful!" I chirped.

"Not as beautiful as you." Situl whispered, looking at me closely. I felt unnerved as I turned away from the setting of the sun, and looked up at him. He was leaning down slowly, his eyes closing gently. When I felt his warm breath on my lips, I pushed lightly on his chest, taking a step back. I wrapped my arms around myself.

"Starfire...?" Situl looked shocked. A tear slid down my cheek. His eyes got big as he took a step toward me, face concerned.

"Please, do not do that." I whispered. "For I could not kiss a man I do not love." I turned my back to him and walked to the glass doors that lead into the tower. I heard Situl's quiet voice.

"Could I ever be such a man?"

I thought about how we got along so well...how he laughed at my jokes and I laughed at his, how gentle he was with me...and how I wished Robin cared about me like that.

"No," I lied, stepping through the doors and down the long halls, tears flowing done my face as I walked to my room.
