I do not own Teen Titans

It was too late, and Robin knew it. Starfire gave up. She couldn't take the pain the team was suffering from her presence, so she left. And now, an evil sister and some madman had her in their clutches, waiting for their immortality and to watch a loss of a Teen Titan.

Robin's legs felt like jelly as he slowly walked to Starfire's bed where a communicator and a letter took up the space. The Boy Wonder noticed that the small pink piece of paper was wet from the tears that Starfire shed as she wrote her final goodbye's…

Dear Robin, Raven, Cyborg and Beastboy,

You have probably noticed my absence and are now holding this letter in your hand. Please excuse the wetness of the paper for I could not have stopped myself from crying every now and then.

You all know that Slade and Blackfire are after me, and I cannot stop that from happening. You are getting hurt because of me and I have almost killed my dear friends. I cannot live with that. I have explained to Robin that I feel like a threat to the team, yet he did not believe such a thing. I think differently.

Slade was testing all of us that day and although Raven was kind enough to heal us, I am afraid next time will be different.

My communicator is near the letter, so please give it to a titan worthy of such a wonderful team.

It is hard to say goodbye, yet it must be done. I cannot run from my destiny. I am useless now. Please do not search for me, for even if you do find me, it will be too late. I will either be non-existent or be giving up my energy and life for I wish you not to see. Just enjoy yourself but please remember me forever, for that is all I want now.

The wishes I have dreamt of will never come true, and I have failed to protect my friends. I am indeed a troq.

Even when I'm no longer here, I have one special picture with me that will remind me of all of you.

It was wonderful working with you. I tried acting happy to defeat the evil within me, but it was useless. I lost…

The hour is near and I do not have much to live left…you will always be with me my friends…

Goodbye Forever,

Starfire

Robin took out his communicator and contacted the remaining titans as thoughts of regret filled his head.

"GET OVER HERE NOW" he commanded to each one of the sleepy super hero's who were already asleep.

The four titans were in the common room. Robin was looking at the map of the city, trying to think of where Starfire could be. He knew she didn't want them to find her, but he thought differently. 'She doesn't deserve this' the Boy Wonder thought over and over again as he wildly tapped more keys on the computer. 'Where are you Star?'

Raven sat in the dark corner of the room. She slowly levitated as she tried to contact Starfire using her powers. It was no use though. Every time the dark titan found the tamaranian, she would always lose her. It seemed as though a force was blocking out all the energy. Still, Raven tried and tried, forgetting how tired she was.

Beastboy, who transformed into a hawk, flew around the city, searching for Starfire. Despite the thought that it was chilly, the green titan didn't care. The thought of finding Starfire, the only titan who would most often laugh at his jokes, warmed him greatly. As Beastboy soared the sky, his eyes were fixed on the ground below, the people walking on the pavement, not knowing of the trouble the titans were facing.

Cyborg was in the sanctuary of him room. His eyes were glued to the screen of his computer as he tried to locate Starfire. The half man, half robot remembered how Robin secretly implanted a chip on Starfire's outfit when she wasn't looking in case something went wrong. Now, Cyborg was trying to find the tamaranian, but the signal was too weak. Still, the titan didn't give up and tried to increase the signal by adding multiple chips to his computer. He faced problems worse than this, and was determined to find the tamaranian.

It seemed like hours past and the titans each did their own thing. Still, it were only minutes that passed and soon Cyborg formed a smile on his face. Reaching for his communicator, he dialed the remaining three titans.

"I think I found her" the half man half robot said into the devise still studying the map.

Robin was the first to appear in Cyborg room, followed by Raven and Beastboy who all huddled around the large computer.

"There is a slight signal coming from what seems like an abandoned basement, just outside of town" the large titan said, his finger pointing to an area on the map.

"Are you sure that's her?" Robin asked.

"Yeh maybe that is just a similar signal or something" Raven suggested who then looked at Beastboy. The green titan looked very confused, as though he was staring at a giant pimple instead of a computer.

'Cut it out Beastboy' Raven thought to him.

'W…where's the voice coming from?' the green titan thought from hearing the voice.

'It's me you idiot'

'Raven? Oh no! I'm going crazy. HELP'

'Calm down and pay attention'

Raven smirked as she now looked at Beastboy, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. She turned her attention to Cyborg and Robin who were arguing about the T-car.

"We have to go there NOW" the Boy Wonder demanded, waving his arm around.

"But it's late and the car can use some fixing. How about in the morning?" Cyborg suggested as he yawned loudly.

"WHAT? WE HAVE A TITAN MISSING, ABOUT TO BE DESTRYED AND YOUR TIRED?" Robin yelled, startling Beastboy who fell over backwards.

"Calm down man! I'll fix up the T-car and we should be ready in a few hours…"

"NO! NOW"

Raven looked stunned. She never heard Robin yell like that. The dark titan then looked at Cyborg, and he got her message.

"Uhh…we're ready" the half man half robot said, while scratching the back of his head.

The four titans stepped out onto the street. It was dimly lit and the fog didn't help the current situation. The grass was tall, about Ravens size, if not more, and smelled of old shoes. Slowly and carefully, Robin made his way to the abandoned house in the center of the field; the other titans following close behind.

Suddenly, a light purple glow appeared in the sky. Robin, Beastboy, Cyborg and Raven looked up, watching the wine light slowly descend. It gradually made its way toward the field, getting brighter by the moment.

As the four titans got a better look at the beam making its way toward them, they prepared themselves for an attack. That wasn't any star trailing across the night sky toward them… it was Blackfire.

Her black hair looked more of a purple tone and her eyes were glowing a fierce violet. The tamaranian was making two large starbolts, slowly forming in her hands as purple energy surrounded her.

Quickly, Blackfire fired the two starbolts at the titans below, only to be blocked by Ravens shield. As she lowered herself to the ground, a smirk across her face, the dark titan let go of the shield.

"Hello Titans" Blackfire said as she landed on the ground. "Or should I say goodbye?"

"Where is Starfire?" Robin demanded, taking out his staff at the same time.

"You mean if Slade didn't get rid of her yet?"

"Don't YOU dare to say something like that!" Raven quickly put in, her eyes turning the vibrant red that could scare anyone half to death.

"Not the red eyes… that is so old" Blackfire casually said, forming more starbolts.

"ENOUGH!" Robin shouted, running at the villain at full speed, knocking her down.

It wasn't long before a huge fight started out. Beastboy, now a T-Rex was trying to attack Blackfire, while Raven and Cyborg shot everything they got at her. Still, the evil tamaranian seemed to know their every move and dodged it with ease.

"Yo Robin" Cyborg quickly said over the noise. "Go find Star. It's the only way."

"Are you sure?" the Boy Wonder asked as he blocked an incoming starbolt with his cape.

"JUST GO!"

And with that, the Robin sped off toward the old house, hiding behind every nearby tree to catch his breath and think of a plan. He knew it would be tough to defeat Slade and get Starfire back, but the Boy Wonder knew he could pull it off.

Slowly, Robin opened the squeaky door and stepped inside. As he took the first step, he heard a familiar scream, and found himself running down the corridor.

Ok guys. Sorry this chapter took so long to write. I didn't have time. I probably won't release the next chapter till August because I'm leaving on vacation on the 21st of June.

PLEASE REVIEW. I would like to reach at least 39 or 40 reviews. I mean it takes a few seconds to write what you think of the story… please?
