I do not own Teen Titans

Soon, the five titans arrived at the scene of the crime.

Cyborg was getting out of the T-car, admiring his 'baby' as Robin hopped off his R-cycle. Beastboy landed on the ground and transformed back into a human as Raven joined him. Starfire was a few feet in the sky, ready to secretly attack if needed to.

"Uhh… where is everyone?" Beastboy asked as he and the other titans looked around the area. The whole street was silent, and the only sound came from the blowing wind bringing dark grey clouds with it.

"This is mostly strange, is it not?" Starfire asked as she flew down on the ground.

"Yeh" was all that Robin was able to say.

It was indeed strange. The window to a jewlery store was shattered to bits but there was no sound of an alarm or people panicking. The five superhero's were the only ones one the street…no birds were hovering overhead, no laughter of children playing…nothing.

"Titans, search the area" Robin commanded and the team split up.

Starfire flew about in the sky, searching for anything suspicious down below. Raven was inspecting each nearby building. Beastboy, who morphed into a dog, helped Cyborg search the inside of the Jewlery Store for clues and Robin searched around the building.

Suddenly, the Boy Wonder spotted a small piece of paper under the shattered glass. He carefully took it and unfolded it. As Robin read it, his heart sank on what to do and how to react.

Dear Titans,

I'm sure you are confused as of this moment, but I assure you all pieces of the puzzle will be explained once I am immortal.

Any attempts to stop me will cost Starfire greatly. When she was hypnotized, I added a small amount of my special chemical to the starbolt Blackfire fired. Now the chemical is running through your friends body, so I may get rid of her any time chosen.

For my plan, I only need her energy, so it matters not if she is alive for she will not live at the end anyway.

The hour is near…

Slade and Blackfire

Robin tore the paper in two as he formed fists. 'I'LL KILL HIM' was all that ran through the Wonder Boy's head.

"Friend Robin" Starfire asked as she came from behind him. "Have you found anything?"

"Uhhh…no Star…lets go home" Robin quickly answered. He decided not to tell the team or Starfire about the note. All he needed was more worry and the tamaranian to cry and lose all hope.

"Dude! That was mega weird!" exclaimed Beastboy as he chewed on his Tofu pizza. All five titans were in the common room of the tower, discussing the previous events over pizza, cokes and mustard.

"Friend Beastboy is right" Starfire put in as she sipped her mustard while holding a pizza in the other hand. "There were no signs of Slade at all…" suddenly, the tamaranian stopped talking as she thought about something.

"Yeh BB" Cyborg added as he reached out his hand for another slice. "All I know is that it can't be good."

"This is Slade were talking about" Raven said in her usual monotone as she levitated off the couch for a few seconds but then landed back on it. "Can it ever be good with him?"

Robin who was quiet all this time finally spoke up. "NO" he replied as he squished his pizza, the sauce running down his glove. The Boy Wonder then quickly grabbed a towel to wipe his hands off and reached for a coke.

"Still, was Slade really there?" Cyborg asked after watching Robin. "I mean, there were no signs of him…"

"Maybe the computer isn't working Cyborg and it's showing false information" Beastboy said casually.

"HEY!" the half man half robot yelled, dropping his pizza on a plate. "My tech works fine little man! It's you who isn't working!"

"Chill Mr. Tin Man" Beastboy replied. "I was only trying to give ideas…"

"Oh I'll give you ideas!" Cyborg shouted.

"Lay off Cyborg!" Raven yelled and all three titans (with the exception of Starfire who was thinking about something) looked at the dark titan.

"What did you say Raven?" Beastboy asked his eyes wide.

"I told Cyborg to lay off" came a reply as the dark titan sipped her herbal tea.

"Umm…ok" Cyborg said, half confused, half frustrated that Beastboy got away with ease.

"Thanks Raven" Beastboy whispered as he began to eat another slice of his Tofu pizza.

"It's Rae for you" the dark titan said as she weakly smiled.

--

A few hours past and the five titans were still sitting in their seats. They had finished eating their pizza but they were all surprised to see that Starfire didn't finish her mustard nor that she talked. The tamaranian just stared into deep space, her mind far away.

Raven was reading another book, slowly turning the pages as she levitated in mid air.

Beastboy and Cyborg were reading comic books for Robin wouldn't let them turn on their game station. The Boy Wonder was studying the map of the city that flashed on the computer and he tried to put two and two together.

Suddenly, Starfire spoke up and all the titans looked at her with surprise.

"Please" she asked slowly. Robin noticed she was shaking all over. "What gems were stolen?"

"The Pink Gems of Fire" Robin answered, still having no idea on what was going on.

Starfire turned pale. The bright green light in her eyes faded and she just stayed still. It looked as thought she had turned into a statue.

"Ohh…" was all that the tamaranian was able to say as she stood up. Her eyes filled with teas and she flew out of the common room, leaving four confused titans behind.

"What was that?" Beastboy asked, dropping his comic book.

"I dunno BB" Cyborg replied who was just as confused as his companion.

"That was odd" Raven commented as she put her book down on the couch.

"Yeh that WAS odd" Robin said. "Still, maybe we should let her clam down? I mean, it is a lot to handle…"

Suddenly, Beastboy sprang off the couch. "I know what happened with Slade!" he yelled as the three titans looked at him.

"What?" they all asked at the same time.

"Well" he started. "In the comic 'Mega Monkey Aliens Part.2' the monkeys are all confused because some evil alien is attacking ships and stealing there banana's…"

"Beastboy, get to the point!" Raven demanded.

"Ok, ok. ANYWAY" the green titan started again. "I think that wasn't Slade but an army of evil aliens trying to take over earth and steal my Tofu. Starfire will power up the Tofu Exterminator while the aliens feed the people fried eggs and MEAT! You hear that! MEAT! The aliens will replace Tofu with MEAT. As for Slade, he is the King of Meat and will use his Meat Wand of Doom to destroy the Tofu on Earth!"

The common room was silent until Robin broke it in two.

"You have gotta be kidding me…" he said, trying not to laugh.

"Just when you think people can't get any more stupid we get a new record holder…" Raven muttered under her breath.

"BB, I have no idea what you just said…" Cyborg commented, looking more confused as ever.

--

It was midnight and the four titans went up to their rooms to sleep. Beastboy was upset when no one supported his idea of Slade being the King of Meat, but he got over it when Robin let him and Cyborg play 'Mega Monkeys IV'. Raven was meditating for the rest of the day, trying to keep her powers under control while Robin was bored to death.

As the Boy Wonder proceeded to his room, he decided to check up on Starfire who still didn't come out if her room. As he knocked on her door, no one answered.

"Starfire?" Robin asked through the door. "Open up"

Still, no one answered. Robin was getting worried so he punched in her room code number and the door slid open.

As he stepped in, Robin noticed that the room was a mess. Everything was out of place and Silkie was glued to the wall. 'What happened here?' he though. As he walked around the pink room, he noticed that a picture of him and Starfire from the carnival was missing and he smiled at the memories.

That was the day Starfire tried the Roller Coaster and couldn't walk afterward. That was the day she tried smoothies but preferred mustard over them. That was the day that seemed perfect…

Suddenly, Robin spotted a note on Starfire's bed along with her communicator. His heart sank for he knew what happened.

Starfire gave up. She surrendered. She left the team… to save her friends…
