Chapter 4: A Plan for Killing

They had all came back to the tower sore and defeated. Beast boy and Cyborg

sat down on one side of the couch and the girls sat on the other.

"We really got our butts whipped." BB said as he sprawled out on the little room that was left on the couch.

"Thanks for reminding us."

"Ah, we'll beat him. We just need to practice a bit more."

There was an award silence, so Cyborg decided to try a different approach.

"Titans, let's go train for a bit!"

He got up then plopped back down. He was to sore to move.

"Ok well maybe in an hour."

"You know Cy, my thumbs could use a little work out if you know what I mean?"

"I'm right with you BB!"

Beast Boy jumped up and turned the switch for the PS2, which also turned their competitive switch on.

"You cheated! You can't do that!"

"Oh I think I just did!"

Raven scowled at them.

"No matter how tired they are, they can still manage to play that idiotic game. I'm going to go meditate."

But before she left she looked at Star. She had changed so much in the past few weeks. She just wasn't Star. Raven had tried to talk to her about Robin, but the Tameranian girl wouldn't open up. She knew that Star needed help but it was hard to give help when you didn't know what's wrong. Then an idea hit Raven. If Starfire wasn't going to tell her, then her mind would.

"Hey Star do you want to come meditate?"

She shook her head no.

"It will make you fell better."

Star shook her head no again.

"I can help you." Raven said with worry slightly in her voice.

Starfire looked up in surprise. Was Raven worried about her? She saw Raven head towards her room.

"Raven wait! I wish to come with you."

Raven turned around and waited for Star to catch up with her. Then they both walked up to the roof. They sat in the meditating position then chanted…….

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

But when Raven said these words she did not retreat into her own mind, but into Starfires.

…………What happened today? Why was I scared? I could've killed him! …but his eyes, those cold heartless eyes staring into my soul. I cannot be scared, he must die! He has taken the one person I loved the most!

Raven went deeper into her mind. She saw the brightness of light and joy. Then she saw a hole. A black hole that was slowly eating away the light. The longer Raven stayed she saw that it was getting bigger and had taken half of Starfire's mind.

"I have to stop this thing! Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

A black aura covered the gigantic hole, but it wouldn't last for very long. Raven went out of Star's mind with a jolt. When Raven opened her eyes she saw Star with her hand pressing against her head.

"Starfire, there is something very wrong with you."

"Yes I know friend, but I cannot stop it. The Dorglanee has taken my mind."

"Star, what is Dorglanee? Why haven't you told anyone that you are sick?"

"I was scared, friend and lost. He has taken my heart and without it, I have no love."

"Tell me what Dorgalnee is! I need to help you!"

"It is… what you would call depression for a Tamaran, and I cannot fight it because I have no love. No heart to give it."

"No Star! You have friends who can help you. I was helped when my hatred overtook my mind. I can help you."

"You do not understand. This is my problem and I do not wish to inflict it on you."

"I know that you think that you're the only one who was hurt from Robin's death, but you aren't. We all got hurt and we all want Terror behind bars."

At the mention of that name Raven saw hatred flash in Starfire's eyes, but she quickly covered it. It was then that Raven realized that Star just didn't want him behind bars she wanted………..how could this once sweet alien girl wish death on someone. Star had stopped Robin from killing Slade, and now she, Raven, had to be the one to stop Star.

"Star you know that we can do no more than put him in jail?"

"Yes, friend I do." Her face showed understanding and there was no trace of death wishing on her face.

Raven felt relieved that Star no longer wanted to kill that evil man, even if he deserved it.

"Raven I am done meditating and I thank you for your offer to help."

With that Star got up and headed to her room. She knew that Raven had seen her desire for that disgusting man, and she knew that Raven would stop her if she tried. It was an act that she put on for Raven. She was going to leave and leave tonight. This was the only way to stop that black hole. Maybe if she killed the man who had made it then it would die with him.

Raven was not so certain about Star, and had had stayed out there a while longer meditating on that thought. When she opened her eyes it was sunset.

"Was I really out here that long?"

She got up and turned around to go to her room, and as she headed down the hall she bumped into Star.

"Sorry friend Raven."

Raven nodded to show she accepted the apology. Then she remembered to ask something.

"Where are you going?"

In a cheery voice Star answered. Which Raven hadn't heard in a long time?

"I am going to watch the sunset. It makes the sky turn beautiful. Robin and I used to…."

She trailed off. Raven gave her a sympathetic look and turned heading back to her room. She didn't think it much for Star to go and watch the sunset. She did it all the time so there was nothing to suspicious about. Little did she know that she would regret it.

When Star reached the door to the tower she smiled slyly. Raven didn't suspect a thing. She opened the door and slipped out. She stood on the rocks for a while trying to decide how to get over the water.

"I must think happy thoughts. I must kill the man who took the one I love."

At the thought of killing Terror she started to rise off the ground. Who would ever think that killing a man could be a happy thought, but to the young Tameranian Princess it was the only happy thought that she had.

She flew over the city looking for someone doing mischief. If there was a crime it would lead to him. There in a jewelry store was some one moving around. She flew in quietly and to her disappointment it wasn't him, but it was a robber. Instead of stopping him she watched him get what he wanted then leave. She flew quietly behind him.

He led her through a maze of alleys, then to an old abandoned factory. He stopped at a door and whispered some thing into it. He slipped inside leaving Starfire to find her own way in. On the roof there was a vent shaft. She blasted it open then started to craw through it. After a couple minutes she saw an opening. She peaked through to see no one there and considered it safe, but luck wasn't on her side. Surprisingly, she had landed in his room. She didn't think to look through everything. She thought it was just one of his recruits' rooms, but she decided to at least see what was in the desk. There was a list of names and a diagram of some building, but nothing else of interest. She decided to hurry up and leave, and in her hurry she bumped against his closet door. A picture floated down to her feet. It was a picture of her ripped down the middle just like the one she had of Robin. Why would someone have a picture of her? "Unless….no, I will not think like that." She shoved the thought to the back of her head. She turned to the door and took a step out. A pair of strong arms grabbed her wrist. She was flung out of the room and into a wall. Her vision went cloudy for a few seconds. She opened her eyes to see a buff looking man charge at her. She dodged and shot a star bolt at him, but she ran into another guard. He swung and missed the first time but not the second. The air was knocked out of her and he threw her against the wall again. This time her vision went black.

Raven glided into the kitchen to get some herbal tea. She glanced over to where the boys were.

"Have you seen Starfire?"

"Yea I saw her go out the front door."

Raven flipped around.

"She what!"

"I think she saw going to go on a walk or sit by the shore to watch the sunset like she normally dose."

Raven cringed. She asked another question even though she already knew the answer.

"Did she come back in?"

"Not that we know of. Why?"

Raven did a quick check of the tower but couldn't sense Star anywhere.

"Star's gone!"

Cyborg jumped up.

"Well let's go find her, Titans!"

They left the tower in search of Starfire.

"Ex….excuse me sir." Conikey's squeak of a voice came through the office door."

Terror looked up in an irritated way.

"Well…um.."

"Get out with it!"

"…the guards have caught someone coming out of your room."

Terror stood up and started to walk out of the office.

"Show me where he is."

He led him down the hall to where he kept his prisoners. Terror shoved open the doors to see a young women firing at the bubble that incased her.

"She was in my room?"

"Yes sir."

He recognized her from the bank. She was the one who hated him so much. He knew that she was giving him the same look that she had at the bank.

"Conikey, you and the guards wait outside for me. I want to have a little chat with her."

"Yes sir."

Once the door was shut he turned to look at the girl.

"Why are you here?"

She didn't answer.

"I can get rid of you easily, so I suggest that you talk."

"I want you dead!"

"Many people want me dead. Even my own guards want me dead. What is your motive? What have I done to make you hate me with so much passion?"

It took her a few moments to answer.

"You killed him! You killed Robin!" A tear glided down her face but that was all.

He flinched inwardly, but answered smoothly.

"Yes I did, but why does it matter to you?"

No answer.

"What's your name?"

She just stared at him. He was getting impatient.

"Tell me your name. I'm going to get it out of you sooner or later so it'd be smart if you told me now."

"Kory Anders."

He knew that name. It was a name of someone in his past. It was so similar to Koriand'r. With a swish of his cape he left the room.

"Keep her there until I figure out what to do with her."

"Yes sir."

Starfire wasn't sure if she should answer the questions, and when he had asked her about her name. She had felt some odd urge to tell him the truth, but she didn't want to tell him all of it so she changed it a bit. After he left she curled up on the floor. She had been defeated. She didn't get a chance to avenge Robin. He had admitted that he had killed him and now he was probably going to kill her too. So she was right. That silly thought that he could be Robin was false. A tear slowly slid down her cheek.
Raven knew that something was fishy about the way she was acting.

"How could I have been so stupid? All the signs were there!"

She knew where Star had gone. She went to find and kill Terror.

"Hey Rea, I picked up Star's signal!"

Cyborg led them to the abandoned factory. It was then that Beast Boy was stupid enough to run up and open the door. Guards flooded out, and the battle began.

Sorry it was another short one but I had to have more chaps. The other one will come quickly. Please RR!
