Hey long time no talk. been working on my other stories. just a reminded this one is just for fun to help me take a break inbetween the other complex stories.
(With R&S) (R POV)
We didn't even drive very far, just down a few back roads until we were near the edge of the city and came to a stop near a rickety looking shack. I played "unconscious" a little too well because when Carl slammed on the breaks and my limp body surged forward and slammed into the back of the seat before I crumpled to the ground next to Tony's boots. If I wasn't dizzy from getting sucker punched in the back of the head and slamming my forehead into the concrete I was from this, I groaned inwardly. I then grunted outwardly as Tony picked me up by my collar knocking my head against the seat and then the roof as he hoisted me over his shoulder.
I was having issues staying focused from that point on and apart from the pain and now nausea crawling up my throat all I wanted to do was sleep; my eyes were half closed anyways… I had to pop my eyes open and pay attention. Having a possible concussion and Starfire being unconscious meant I had to stay awake and protect her until we could get out of here or she woke up and could defend herself.
Carl held open the door as Frank, cradling Starfire, and Tony, carrying me over his shoulder, walked in followed by Carl shutting and locked the door behind us. Tony sloppily set me in a chair and began tying me up with rope while Frank carried Starfire into another room. I decided it was time to wake up, not being aware of where Starfire was and what was occurring was not okay in my book.
I twisted and slid out of the ropes before he finished tying them and realized I was out. I took the back of his head and slammed it into the kitchen table knocking him out before he had time to make a noise.
"Yeah feels great huh?" I snickered as I ran for the door to get Carl next.
"Hey! FRANK! He's awake!" Carl screamed running himself into a corner where I easily trapped him.
"Lights out," I growled kicking him in the shin then punching him in the jaw hard enough for him to knock his head back into the wall. I turned on a dime and raced for the door Frank had taken Starfire as Carl slumped to the floor.
Frank opened the door with a gun in hand pointed at my head stopping me feet away from getting in. I could see Starfire safe and lying on a queen sized bed still asleep and that was good enough for now.
"I suggest you back away and sit back down in that chair," Frank nodded towards the kitchen set. "I'll let you watch her sleep but when she wakes up the fun begins." He snickered as Carl was slowly gaining back his consciousness. "There's a good boy, get back in that chair," Frank continued to taunt as he backed me into the kitchen next to a still unconscious Tony who lay uncomfortably on the floor where he had slumped down. I sat down as a wobbly Carl slowly made his way over towards Frank and me.
Frank, holding me at gun point, took to leaning against the table while he watched Carl retie me up. I pretended the tension was tight and the knots kept me from moving no matter how hard I tried to get free. Truth be told- I could be out in ten seconds flat, but with a gun pointed at my face and Starfire in no condition to defend herself they didn't need to know that.
"What do you want with us?" I whined, faking a nervous tone into my voice. They never removed my sunglasses so I could still analyze the room from behind my dark shades and discovered the multiple ways Star and I could escape.
"Listen here, keep ya mouth shut and no harm will come to you." Carl snapped tying the last knot as tight as he could. I forced myself to jump a little making it seem like the last knot hurt. Carl smiled, feeling accomplished, before he headed to the freezer to pull out a frozen bag of peas to ice his head. I began to softly work the knot while Frank eyed me before rolling his eyes at his moaning friend. A soft groan from the bedroom made all our heads snap towards the door and Frank's smile became even more twisted.
"Someone is ready to play," he snickered loud enough for me to hear. Something inside of me snapped with the thousand thoughts running through my head of what that could possibly mean. I slid my hands out from the ropes untwisting my arms in the process. I pulled the last piece of the knots and the ropes fell to my feet.
"Sit back down if you know what's good for," Carl started but I clocked him in the jaw before he could finish his statement sending him hurling back into the kitchen table knocking both over and onto the floor. A backhand spring over Frank's head with a quick one, two kick of my feet sent his gun spinning across the floor and placing me between Frank and the bedroom Starfire was in. Frank froze seeing the gun a few feet to his left and the bedroom door a few feet in front of him with my careful in-between. I knew he would go for the gun first and was waiting for it to make my move when a sudden burst popped into the room and Frank was suddenly launched across the living room and plastered to the wall with a red sticky X. I didn't wait to see what happened next, if he was here the team wasn't far behind. I turned and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind me.
"Richard," her soft voice reached my ears. I bolted the door shut and turned to find her sitting on the bed with ropes burned around her. Her eyes were watery with her eyelashes barley holding back the tears.
"Star, hey don't cry. Red-X is out there which means Batman and the Titans can't be far behind. We're safe. I never would have let anything happen to you." I assured her gently sitting on the bed next to her, unsure if I could pull her into my arms and hold her tight.
"I was not afraid for myself. I was unsure what became of you and when I burned the ropes I was unsure how I would explain it to the men who I was certain would return. I know how important your secret identity is to you. I did not want to reveal yourself." She explained. A smile crept up my face as I pulled her into me in a warm embrace.
"My secret identity is important to me Star, but if it came down to it or you…you really think it would be a hard call?" I asked her. A soft blush crept to her cheeks as I scooped her up bridal style causing her to giggle. The door burst open causing me to flip Starfire behind me and bend down into a defense stance with her safely tucked out of harm's way.
"Booya," Cyborg announced with a wink as Batgirl and Raven appeared behind him.
"Are you both alright?" Raven asked, reminding us all that Starfire and I had to act like civilians.
"Whoa! Cyborg! Raven! Batgirl!" I gasped knowing those outside the room could hear us but not see us. I winked at Starfire causing her to stifle a giggle. "We've been saved by heroes Kori!" Batgirl rolled her eyes and slapped me upside the head.
"Come with me miss, we need to make sure you are checked out." Batgirl huffed.
"I think we should take them both to be checked out. We should keep them together." Cyborg firmly stated. I was grateful for that. None of the Titans wanted Star to leave now that she was back, and we were all damn sure to make sure she didn't run away again.
"I agree, I'll check them out. Come with me." Raven stated calmly.
"I'd like to keep her with me, she's just been so frightened." I explained as I put my arm around Kori, giving her another wink before we brushed past Batgirl and followed Raven out to the living room.
"Enough," Batman snapped pulling Red-X off a bruised, bloody faced Frank. His nose was obviously broken and his face already had signs of swelling. He was clutching his stomach in obvious pain but to everyone's surprise in the room he was softly chuckling. Batman kept himself between Frank and Red-X while Raven, Cyborg, and Batgirl readied themselves in front of us. I kept Starfire tucked behind me and I could feel her warm arms circle up my chest and clutch it tightly and yet Frank continued to chuckle from his curled up position on the floor. His chuckling never stopped they continued to go on and on.
"She would have been," he coughed before beginning to chuckle again. "Would have been all mine." He snickered at Starfire from behind me.
"You little!" Red-X screamed teleporting himself from behind Batman to on top of Frank and was pounding on him before anyone could blink. "I'll kill you!" He screamed. Cyborg and Batgirl bolted forward grabbing Red-X and pulling him off a now unconscious Frank. Batman ushered us both outside with the rest of the group behind us.
"The police should be here any minute," Cyborg informed us.
"Which means we need to get Richard Grayson and his lady out of here before they want to question you two." Batman added. A familiar hum filled our ears as a black motorcycle squealed to a stop next to us landing on its side as Beastboy sheepishly jumped off in time to avoid getting crushed.
"Uh…oops. But hey I found your bike!" He announce hoping I wouldn't deck him across the chin.
"No time, get her and you out of here. Meet back at the hideout." Batman insisted pushing Starfire and I towards my bike before any comment could be made. I grabbed Starfire's hand and pulled her with me hoping for Beastboy's sake there wasn't any scratches or dents.
