New Powers

18 months since Starfire was taken

Starfire opened her eyes, it was the eve of her 18th birthday.

She had fallen asleep thinking that today would just be a normal day, and wondering what Red X had in store for her birthday.

But as soon as she woke up, she knew that something was wrong.

Today, something big was going to happen, she was sure of it.

Back at the Titan Tower

Kipper opened her eyes.

It had been a year and a half since she had joined the team.

And today was a special day, today was her birthday. Kipper was now 18.

And she knew that today was the day that they found Starfire.

She flew downstairs, only to find that all of the lights were turned out.

"Hello?" she called, "Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy? Raven, where are you?"

Just than all the lights turned on, and the other four titans shouted "SURPRISE!"

They were standing beside a HUGE cake, 18 tears tall, with a little model of Kipper at the top.

"Happy birthday Kipper!" Robin said with a big smile.

"Oh guys!" exclaimed Kipper, tears in her eyes, "Thank you!"

After they had eaten some cake, and presents were exchanged, Kipper made an announcement.

"As you all know, I have been able to track down Red X, but not Starfire. But what you didn't know is that when I turn 18, my powers increase. I now posses the ability to see and find Starfire!"

All of the other titans just stared at her in shock.

"Really?" asked Beast Boy carefully, "You can do that?"

"Of course silly!" said Kipper with a grin.

"Well than get on and find her!" shouted Cyborg.

"I will, but not until around 9:30," she answered.

"Why not?" asked Beast Boy, confused.

"You all know that Red X never appears on my radar until about that time, if we wait until than he should be away from Starfire, because he obviously doesn't take her with him."

"Great plan Kipper!" said Robin, beaming.

Kipper blushed.

And so, the titans waited anxiously until 9:30.

Than Kipper floated up into the air, and proceeded to meditate.

It took her a little while longer though, she wasn't used to this new power, and wasn't quite sure how to use it.

But finally, she flew back down excitedly.

"I found her, but she's not even on this world! She's on a distant planet called Carthy. We must take the T-Ship if we wish to find her."

So the titans immediately piled into the new and improved T-Ship.

Cyborg had built in a sixth compartment for Kipper.

And with that, they flew off to Carthy.

"We're coming Starfire," thought Robin, "We're coming."

Sorry it took so long to get to you guys, and that it was short. I'm kinda in a writers lull right now.

Plus I'm trying to write my other story at the same time (FYI : not a good idea)

Plus I've been busy with basketball practice and games. Plus I had to study really hard, because we had all kinds of Mid Year Tests.

Plus I had a band concert, and a chorus concert since I last updated!

And now I'm EXHAUSTED!

But I hope you enjoyed the story! :-)
