A/N All the guessing, all the speculation. Very interesting with all your cleaver ideas.

dlsky Yeah, I the speeches and the meal stuff, but yeah, I did that because I knew the chapter was going to turn out really long as it was. Thanks for reviewing!

amanda I have absolutely no idea how many chapters there will be. I guess there will be as many chapters as the story needs.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed. That seemed like more reviews then I've gotten for one chapter in a long time.

Disclaimer I do not own Teen Titans

Time Changes Chapter 10

Into the Darkness

"It has been done. They should be strong enough to have more of a effect now." The sinister female voice informed him through the secure video phone line.

"Good. Soon the Titans and maybe also Bruce Wayne will be destroyed from the inside out. Even if they don't all die, Mr. Wayne is surrounded by so much press, it will ruin the Titans in the public eye. No one will trust them anymore. They shall fall." The malicious male voice returned.

"Yes love. Everything is going completely to our design. It will be such a... Crippling blow to the Titans... Pun intended of course." She answered, sounding a bit mischievous.

" You are very punny.Our plan isperfect. If all goes as planned I will meet you tomorrow afternoon, Mrs. Wilson." He answered, his voice almost pleasant sounding as he addressed his wife by her new last name. Through the videophone the black haired woman beamed with a smile, her black eyes shining.

"See you then Slade."

"Starfire? Starfire? Star, Robin sent me to see if you made it to bed. Are you in here?" Raven asked, hoping Starfire would reply without her having to go into Starfire's main bedroom. Raven stood in Starfire's outer bedroom. I hope she won't be angry at me... Raven thought, entering into Starfire's room. The light was on.

There next to the bed Starfire lay, she didn't look unconscious even, just she wasn't moving. Raven got closer, Starfire's eyes were on fire with a familiar green fire, but there was no sign of any battle. She was still in her evening gown, the lovely red gown she had worn all night. Starfire clutched the blanket in her hands and Raven realized she was shivering.

Slowly Starfire closed her eyes, and stood up, tears streaming down her cheeks, smearing the powder makeup she had worn for the party. Starfire stepped towards Raven, her steps seemed somehow mechanical, forced, like a robot.

"Star, what's wrong?" Raven asked, suddenly afraid, backing up from her friend. She gulped as Starfire raised a hand, a hand burning with green fire.

Suddenly Raven understood why Starfire was crying, knowing her friend was about to do something neither of them wanted to happen. Raven turned and ran, she wanted to use her powers to disappeared into the floor, but before she could be sure what was happening, a starbolt knocked her to the floor. Raven lay on her stomach, the burning sensation on her lowers legs hurt. Before she had time to think, there was another pain, this time in her back, and Raven passed into unconsciousness.

Starfire moved slowly through the titans hallway, telling her body to fight every step, but it did not listen. Her head throbbed in waves of stabbing pain with each movement.

"Augh!" She screamed, though it took all her energy to fight the probes in her body that were telling her not to open her mouth. In seconds, Cyborg and Beast Boy came running out into the hallway. They looked around, and saw Starfire looking at them, her eyes bright with fire, hear hands engulfed with the green glow.

"No!" Starfire yelled, but her body responded by blasting the confused boys with powerful starbolts, knocking them to the floor. Cyborg was knocked out, but Beast Boy lay on the floor, morphing into some animal Starfire's powerful Starbeam hit the green changing form, whether it had killed him or only rendered him unconscious, Starfire didn't know, and her body didn't care.

"Slade, let her go. Now." Nightwing commanded, his voice strong, firm and determined. He knew that Slade must have gained control of his probes in Starfire's body. He saw the bodies of his friends laying on the floor, and he knew. He knew Starfire's body forced her to turn around, there he was standing in the hallway outside his room. He was wearing shorts and a tee-shirt, one hand held something, a thing he could use to escape if he needed to.

Now he stood still, waiting for Slade's response. He didn't want to hurt Starfire, though he knew if they must fight, he would be fighting Slade. Starfire had no choice. As he had so many times in the past year, he regretted ever letting Slade capture them so long ago, letting him poison Starfire so long ago. Surly there had been something he could have done not stop him.

He was responsible, to the Titans, and above all to Starfire. He must protect her now, even if it mean sacrifice on his part. Robin, his younger, more naive self, would have sacrificed everything for his team, save his life and the lives on innocent people.

Now Nightwing realized he may have to lay down his own life to save Starfire. If the Titan's were gone, few people would be left to defend the world from Slade, but someone would. If it came down to Starfire's life or his own, he would die for her.

Starfire's body smiled, a smile Nightwing had first seen on her older sister Blackfire. Starfire flung starbolt at him, and he successfully dogged them, though they were all very well aimed. He realized he had left his bow staff in his room, if only he could get to it now.

He threw down the smoke bombs he had been holding in his hand. He disappeared into the fog and made a run for his room, he opened one of his dresser drawers searching for his staff. He could only hope that Slade didn't know where he had gone. He found the staff under a stack of papers, and opened it up. Fully extended the metal staff was over five feet long. Now I'm ready to block her starbolts. He thought.

Nightwing started to walk out of his room, patent to wait for whatever was coming. Before he could get to the door way, the ceiling collapsed on top on him, crushing him under the rubble.

A/N Who is that Mrs. Wilson? She's a villan, that's for sure. Are the Titan's okay? Are they... Dead?

So, not a very long chapter, perhaps a bit rushed even, and as always, it's hard to describe a fight. Please review, your reviews really help me keep writing. Also, this will be my last chapter before camp, so it'll be about two weeks or so before I update. Wow. Ten Chapters, this is great!
