Riles: My apologies, but the chapters have to end somewhere. Besides you can stop dying, heres the next chapter.

Ch.4

Robin was running as fast as humanly possible back to Titans Tower. The whole way he kept beating himself up fro not going after Starfire. Half of him kept saying that he was too weak from his power transfer to try and give chase. While the other said he should've screwed the pain and gone after her. For whatever the reason he decided that he needed help if he was going to go save her. He reached the base of the Tower and franticly punched in the access code. Inside the main living room the other Titans were gathered around the couch watching TV. Cyborg checked his watch and tapped BB on the shoulder.

"Yo when do you think Rob and Star will be back? It's almost nine". Beast Boy shrugged his shoulders and reached for his comm. link. Just then Robin burst threw the door and tripped over his feet trying to get over to his friends. They all got up and gathered around him. He jumped back up and started rambling off at the mouth while trying to catch his breath.

"Dude where you been, and where's Star", asked Beast Boy looking around.

"IN THE PARK! WE.......SAMSON, STARFIRE.........KIDNAPPED"! Raven went up and smacked him across the face. He stopped and shook his head. "Thanks".

"Now slow down, what happened? Where's Starfire", asked Alastor.

"We were walking in the park; his goon squad came out of nowhere". Robin motioned with his hands while talking. He told them of their battle and his first taste of the immortal's power. "Then Samson came along and took Starfire". They all considered this carefully. Robin then pointed to Beast Boy and Cyborg. "Cyborg Beast Boy, you're with me. We've got to find Starfire before he does whatever he's planning to. Raven, Lee, and Alastor; you guys wait here in case Samson comes along". Cyborg was busy at the giant computer screen.

"I've locked onto her locator", he punched in so more buttons and the screen zeroed in on a spot on the map. "She's at the old city clock tower". Raven lowered her hood and turned to Robin.

"He could be waiting for Robin", said Raven. "He might be using Starfire as bait".

"I don't care! I'm going whether anyone else comes with me or not". He turned to go but Lee called to him.

"Robin-San wait".

"You know what Lee, why don't you just stay out of it! All you've been doing these past few weeks is stay in your room all day! Do me a favor a just shut"- Lee pulled a long Japanese sword from under his robes. Raven produced a set of twin swords, obviously for Beast Boy. Forgetting about being mad at Lee Robin and BB approached them eagerly. The hilt on Robin's sword had gold dragon ornaments under the cord wrap, and the scabbard was shiny black. Beast Boy's twin blades were encased in a two case put in an X formation which he wore on his back.

"If you are that bent on going you may want these", said Lee. "I have not made something like this in a long time, take of them please". Robin nodded and motioned for them to get going. "Wait". Now looking irritated Robin turned back yet again. Raven handed Robin a straight blade. It's case was a tan-ish color and the hilt was pearly white.

"When you find Starfire, give her this", she said handing it to him. Robin took it and ran out the door followed closely by Beast Boy and Cyborg.

ELSEWHERE........................

Starfire moaned and tried to open her eyes. Her vision was blurry for a short while, when it came into focus she saw she was sitting in a rather comfortable leather chair. She gasped and looked around; to her surprise she found that she was not bound or gagged. She looked ahead of her and saw Samson sitting in a similar chair across a small coffee table. He held a small cup of tea which he placed back onto the saucer.

"Oh good your finally awake. My I offer you some tea"? Starfire glared at him and made no response. "Don't act so surprised my dear, though I am your captor I am a civilized one".

"There is nothing civilized about evil", retorted Starfire. "Why have you brought me here"? Samson took a sip of tea then set it down on the table.

"I need your help".

"You shall not have it"! She stood up and lit up her fists, only they flickered for a few moments before going dead. Eyes widened and mouth ajar she looked to him for an explanation.

"I make it a point to know all that there is to know about my enemies. I found those powers of yours to be quite interesting", he pointed towards the ceiling. She looked up and saw a blue light shining brightly down on them. He found a way to nullify her powers. If it weren't for her alien body, she might as well have been human. She sat back down, folded her arms and closed her eyes. She intended to give Samson the least amount of attention.

"You know I did spare both of your lives at the park. You owe me".

"Robin will come, and we will defeat you"! Samson let out a small laugh and Starfire opened one of her eyes curiously.

"Of course! Of course he's coming for you, I'm counting on it. Now back to my dilemma. I recently came to the realization that even your mortal friends could cause me trouble later, so I decided that I should do something about it. However I'm going to need your help in order to get them out of the way".

"You waste your time! I refuse to assist you! Any attempt to turn me against my friends will fail"!

"What do you intend to do if and when it comes down to the two of you? After all there can be only one; whoever it is would be entirely up to you". She glanced downward hopelessly.

"Oh I'm not going to force you to fight your friends, that seems rather pointless to me. Though I do know of a way that you'll help me whether you want to or not". He then removed a small needle and swiftly flicked it at her. It stuck her in her midsection and she squealed before yanking it out. She watched it drop to the floor then frowned in wonder.

"I-I am not feeling fatigue". Samson smiled and picked up his tea cup.

"That wasn't a sedative, it's an elixir of honesty; my own design. It's a very powerful truth agent which will have you spilling your guts at the most intimate question". Starfire dropped her mouth in horror; she didn't even feel it taking effect. "It takes a few moments to set in so let's talk about something else while we wait". Starfire shifted in her seat uneasily. "Just what do you think Alastor or that boy can give you? I could offer you so much more. You would never admit it, but deep down you enjoy the prospect of wielding a bladed weapon and claiming your prize". Starfire began to look fearful. "You are such a caring, loving person that even you get sick of it! You enjoy a little deviation from your character".

"LIES"! Starfire shouted at the top of her lungs. She knew what was happening; he was trying to freak her out in order to distract her from the serum.

"I know what you're thinking. You thing I am evil and sadistic don't you"? Starfire narrowed her eyes breathed heavily. "Seeing how my associate has not returned I would deduce that your friend Robin dealt with him accordingly"? Starfire made no gesture but her eyes said "Yes". Samson nodded and went on. "You saw him feel the power of the immortal didn't you? You want to feel it yourself don't you"? Starfire suddenly felt herself loose control of her head which nodded against her will. "Well I can see that we're ready for the Q and A, so let's begin". Samson pressed a small button on the side on his chair and Starfire's wrists and ankles were suddenly clamped to the chair. She struggled with all her might but couldn't break free, the light above made that impossible. He got comfortable and folded his hands in his lap. "So where should we begin"? Unable to resist Starfire looked at him teary eyed and feared the worst.

JOINING ROBIN, BEAST BOY, AND CYBORG....................

They walked into the ground floor of the clock tower and Cyborg pulled up his arm and began scanning for Starfire. He then looked up the stairs and pointed in their direction. Robin nodded and swiftly proceeded up the long flights. After what seemed like hours of climbing they reached the top and came to a single door. Robin kicked it open and the three of them burst in expecting to meet a horde of enemies; nothing. Nothing except tow chairs and a coffee table and in one chair sat Starfire.

"STARFRE"! Robin rushed up to her. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked around to see if anyone else was in the area. Robin lifted Star's face with two of his fingers and saw her tearstained face.

"Oh Robin, please f-forgive me". Robin looked confused.

"Forgive you? Why? Star what's happened"? Before either of them could continue they heard the door shut behind them. They all looked up and saw five of Samson's immortals waiting for them. Robin looked around and saw the switch on Samson's chair had been ripped apart. The immortals removed their swords and made a small circle around them. Beast Boy slowly reached behind his back and removed his own blades. One immortal charged at Cyborg who grabbed the guy's arms and threw him up at the light above their heads. Sparks rained down on them and Starfire felt her powers returning. She busted her restraints and stretched her arms. Robin then removed her sword and held it out.

"A present from Lee". Smiling she took it and together they unsheathed their weapons. Beast Boy was the first to charge at their enemies followed by Cyborg, Robin and Starfire. She clanged her weapon against her opponents and cut him across the chest. She winced at her own attack but ducked just as he recovered and slashed at her. Robin performed some quick diagonal slashes and blocked his enemy's head cut. Beast Boy warded off his opponent with his signature blade shield and his opponent went for a lunge. As soon as he tired Beast Boy the man's blade in half like a pair of scissors and after flipping over him cut his head clear off. While Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg continued to do battle Beast Boy yelled out loud as his fallen enemy's energy transferred to him. He fell to the ground and gasped for air. One of the immortals decided to take advantage of this and ran straight for Beast Boy. Cyborg grabbed him by the neck and threw him out the large glass clock face. He fell thirty stories and hit the ground with a small puff.

Robin went for a downward hack which his enemy blocked and pushed away. Robin blocked behind his back as his enemy went to cut him in half. As fast as lighting Robin swished his sword in small circles toward the man and shredded his opponent's sword. Wasting no time Robin swiped his blade across the man's neck and lopped off the immortal's head. He then held up his sword and eagerly awaited his reward. Starfire heard Robin cry out in the background as the remaining two ganged up on her.

"Please I do not wish to do battle any longer". Snickering they moved closer to her and closer still. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy gathered themselves together and prepared to relieve Starfire. As she backed away from them flashes of what had happened to her with Samson came to her mind. It wasn't her fault, she had no choice; she felt anger like she had never felt before. Her eyes glowed green and she charged at the two now very scared immortals. She blocked against both of them while dealing a good amount of damage to them. She blocked one and shot the other away with a starbolt. The others watched her with utter awe and shock. Never had they ever seen Starfire fight with such ferocity. Often she would try to grant her enemies the chance to surrender and end it without too much of a fight, but not today. Today, she took no prisoners. She zoomed around the two dazed immortals, fought them off yet again, then in the same instant sliced off both of their heads and sheathed her sword. She landed with a mad glare on her face and felt her whole body shaking. Robin approached her cautiously.

"Starfire what's happened"? She turned around and looked from him to her first two kills. She ran to Robin and buried her face in his chest. She couldn't believe what she had just done. Robin patted her head gently, "its okay Star". She suddenly pulled away from and looked as if she were being electrocuted. The others stepped back and watched Starfire arch her back and cry out as she received the power of two immortals at once. The small streams of lighting laced all over her body and then disappeared. She fell to the ground and the others crowded around her. Shivering she looked up at Robin who put his cape around her shoulders.

"Robin, w-we must get back to the tower".

Sorry I have to leave it there for now cause I have to work on something else. Next chap. Will be along soon, laters. R & R please.
