Chapter 10 - End
Starfire bit her bottom lip as she removed her hand from the wound. She knew it wasn't a simple stab wound. Something burned inside of her and she felt like a million needles were ripping open her body. She inhaled sharply to take a deep breath, releasing slowly in hopes to calm her nerves.
The screen was dark now and she only wished she could see Robin's face again. Slade wanted to see the anger roar out of Robin and everyone knew that. All Starfire could do was sit and watch as her friends get hurt because of her...
No. She had to do something. Anything.
'Oh, X'hal... Please help my friends...'
Starfire closed her eyes, relaxing against the hard clear walls.
That was all she could do.
For now.
TeenTitansGo!
Minutes ticked by and Cyborg never stopped his typing. He worked long and hard, but finally silence rang through the room. Robin looked over, angered that Cyborg would even think to rest at a time like this.
"Cyborg, why did you stop? We're close to finding Starfire." Robin said, taking a few steps over to his male companion. He was confused when he saw the irritated look that was plastered on the half man half machine's face.
"You're right." Cyborg began, quiet again. Robin opened his mouth to question, but Cyborg continued, "We're directly above them. They are in the basement... He's been down there for days now."
Robin tensed, pushing Cyborg aside to look at the screen. "There was a security breach and we didn't hear it?"
Cyborg typed away a little more as he spoke, "Someone tampered with the wiring to our alarm system. How did I not notice?" Looking over to Robin, he tensed even more, "This footage wouldn't of even been found if it wasn't for the fact that my encrypted security code was changed. But that's not all. Look at this."
Suddenly the screen lit up and an image of the center of Jump City came to view on it. "This is the heart of Jump City. What we see is from a security camera on a traffic light." Cyborg pointed to an odd shaped figure in the middle of the street with civilians surrounding it to get a better look.
"Then that must be our bomb."
"Get to the bomb, I'll handle Slade and get Starfire." Ordered Robin as he darted for the elevator. Cyborg nodded, just at the males heels. When the lobby floor came, Cyborg rushed out of the elevator and got to the T-Car.
TeenTitansGo!
Slade glanced at the time. Six minutes before water filled the small space the Tamaran girl sat in. Fifteen till she drowned. He smirked as he watched the five Teen Titans on the screens that were set up around him. Starfire lay in the space nearby, eyes closed and not moving. Cyborg was driving fast, glancing at his arm once in a while to tell the others what was going on. Beast Boy and raven both stared at the T-Communicators in their hands, tense at the news they have received. Robin was nowhere to be seen in the Tower.
"Where did you go?" Slade curiously asked no one. He seemed highly amused at the fact that Robin was able to suddenly disappear. Standing, he made his way over to Starfire. "You're little boyfriend is smarter than I though."
Starfire did not respond to her mentor as she sat there.
Before he could say anything more, a small Ding was heard from the elevator not too far away. Slade turned to face the elevator door, smirking as he expected the Boy Wonder. Slowly the doors opened and he was greeted by... nothing. He raised an eyebrow. This had to be some type of trick.
Robin glared as he leaped down from the vent he had been crawling and aimed a kick towards Slade. The villain dodged by grabbing the Teen Titan's leg and tossing him away. Robin swiftly back flipped, landing in a crouched position as he took hold of a Birdarang and ran at Slade, throwing them in hopes of hitting his target. Slade easily dodged, not even missing a beat as he threw a punch at his former apprentice.
"Just like old times." Slade said, enjoying the rage that was pouring out of Robin.
Pulling out his collapsible bo-staff, Robin twirled it a few times as he moved into a fighting position. "But this time it's all over." Robin ran at Slade, yelling in anger as he leaped up and aimed another kick at the older man.
TeenTitansGo!
"For the hundredth time, stop talking!" shouted Cyborg, anger raising in him as Beast Boy kept telling him where to look or what to touch. "Clearly everything you say isn't working!"
Raven ignored her companions as she used her dark powers to force the curious civilians away from their location. Turning to the green changeling and robotic man, she walked over and looked the large, Cyborg sized machine up and down.
Suddenly the top of the machine opened, forcing a large ball that glowed a dangerous crimson colored red to appear. It sparked wildly and the three Titans knew this wasn't good. Cyborg glanced down as the newly appeared numbers on the machine in front of him. "Something activated it!" Cyborg shouted. "We have ten minutes to stop this thing or else Jump is gonna blow!"
People who stood around and watched began to panic at the words. Men, woman, and children all got together and rushed off, shouting and screaming.
Raven looked at Cyborg, "Starfire gave us the instructors. Let's just reverse the reactor core to make itself implode. Like how a crazy scientist would make a black hole."
Cyborg thought for a moment before nodding and going for it, "Seems like the only thing we can try..."
TeenTitansGo!
Robin breathed heavily as he landed on the ground with a loud thud. He groaned in pain and looked up at Slade who was smirking. "Times up Robin."
A beeping went off and suddenly the sound of rushing water was heard. Starfire opened her eyes as she felt the harsh water hit her. She looked up and watched as the water began to fill up. Five minutes to figure out some form of plan.
Robin felt his heart drop at the sight of Starfire forcing herself to stand to allow herself to away from the water the best she could. Robin ran at the cage she was in, but was stopped when Slade got between them. Pulling out a button, Slade chuckled as his thumb neared it.
"You'll get to watch as your love dies and the city blow."
Pressing the button, pain over whelmed Robin as he doubled over, groaning in pain. the pain wasn't as serious as earlier, but he knew why. Slade wanted him to live and watch as his strength and weakness died. "Star...fire..."
Starfire watched as Robin spoke her name. She couldn't hear him past the loud sound of rushing water crashing over her and the clear walls she was locked in. She felt anger going through her. A newfound strength was felt inside. She couldn't let Robin die. She had to save him. She had to help her friends and stop Slade.
The green eyes beauty took a deep breath, ignoring the wound that was making her dizzy and sick. Looking at the wall, she lifted her arm up and let the green glow form. Her eyes were determined and she felt a new strength letting her fight back. She fired, but winced as the star bolt hit and covered the small area with smoke. Finally it cleared, but she had to think fast. The water was at her waist and she had only about a head of space above her after her body is covered.
Clenching her fist she began to hit the wall. She used every last amount of strength she had, slamming her fist into the same spot in hopes to do something other than simply die.
Robin watched as the girl he loved fight to free herself. He knew there had to be something... Slade smirked and began to talk to the elevator, ignoring the two as they tried last second attempts to live.
Starfire felt pain in her hand, but continued to hit with all of her strength. She felt a string of hope form inside of her when she heard the wall give way slightly and a crack formed. She didn't stop there.
Slade stopped, glancing over at the sight of his creator cracking after the dozen hits.
Starfire knew she had under a minute as her head was almost covered completely. More hits came, but slower. The water made everything harder. Robin forced himself to reach to his belt. Looking up at Starfire, he used whatever strength was left and tossed an explosive disk.
The disk didn't get far, but that was all Starfire needed. She took her final breath and slammed her fist at the wall as the explosive disk went off.
Starfire fell out of the clear chamber and looked at Robin. Looking at Slade, Starfire stood and lifted her hands up to him. She fired as many star bolts as she possibly could before there was no longer anything to see through the smoke that filled the basement of the titan tower.
When the last of the smoke cleared, Starfire frowned when she noticed Slade was gone. Not a surprise to her, but she was relieved when she saw some blood on the ground and a small broken device. Looking at Robin, she watched as he returned to his normal color and slowly sat up. He wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Starfire.
The girl smiled weakly. She was so glad to see that he was alive.
"Star-" Robin said as he stood, but before he could finish a loud beeping was heard. Looking at his communicator, he was met by a pained look of Cyborg.
"You guys better get down here."
TeenTitansGo!
Starfire barely made it to the location her friends were at, but she made it. She dropped Robin when he was near the ground and landed, falling to her knees as she weakly landed herself. Looking over, she saw the bomb.
"We have two minutes!" Beast Boy shouted, panicking now. there was no way a whole town could leave in ten minutes, let alone two.
"Did you try to reverse it?" Raven asked. She held her side as the slight pain of Slade's parasites lingered.
Cyborg looked at her, "I tried, but Slade used that thing on us and I had no time."
Starfire stood and walked over to it. Looking at her friends, she smiled. "I am sorry friends... This will all my fault..."
The Titan's all stared at her, confused.
"Forgive me."
With that, Starfire grabbed the large bomb and began to fly. She flew as fast as she could, tears forming in her eyes. Four pairs of eyes widen as they watched Starfire disappear in the clouds.
Seconds went by. It was quiet and there was no sign of anything.
Suddenly a large distant sound went off, similar to one of a shot gun being shot at a distance. Above everyone was a large sea of oranges and reds, too far to cause harm to the city other than the debris that they saw falling.
"Starfire! No!" Robin yelled, his eyes wide. Everyone knew what just happened.
No one spoke. Robin fell to his knees as the shock took over him. "Starfire..."
"Look up there!" Beast Boy shouted. The other titan's all looked up, including Robin. Something was falling, and it was falling fast. Once it was near the ground, honks and alarms from cars began to go off. The Titan's all raced off to see what had fallen.
Robin's felt his world ending as he saw Starfire, unmoving on a car that she had landed on. The car was destroyed, a large dent in it where the princess lay. Her eyes were closed, hair messed up, blood leaving her wound, and slight burn marks covered her body. Raven didn't hesitate as she used her abilities to gather her fallen comrade and leave the curious eyes of the towns people.
TeenTitansGo!
"It's been two weeks Robin..."
"Leave me alone."
"Robin, you need to eat. Starfire wouldn't be happy with-"
"Go. Away."
Sigh.
"Starfire," Robin whispered. He held onto her hand, staring down at the girl he knew he loved. "If you can hear me... Wake up." He felt his voice strain to speak. He was a mess. Still, all he could do was sit there and pray that she wake up.
"Good news... Cyborg finally got those things out of us."
It was quiet.
"You were hurt pretty bad... Poisoned, burnt..." Robin forced out, staring at the girl who lay motionless on the hospital bed. "But you are still with us. With me."
He felt a tear fall. He didn't care though. No one said anything.
"Starfire, wake up for me. I need you. I... I..."
No response came.
"Robin, let's get you some food." Cyborg said, arms crossed as he leaned against the door frame. "After you eat you can come back and be with her."
Robin kissed the orange skinned girls hand before placing it down next to her side. Cyborg walked out leaving them alone. The Boy Wonder lightly brushed his gloved hand against perfect soft skin. "Starfire... I love you."
He stood and headed for the door. Stopping for a moment, he tensed. He heard a soft whisper behind him.
Turning back around, masked blue eyes met green.
"I love you too."
