Chapter 10

"I got a lock!" Cyborg hollered over his shoulder.

"Really where?" Beast boy asked perking up at the news, a grand fanged smile on his face.

"Yeah, you see that yellow blimp on the screen?" Cyborg pointed to a flashing light on the screen, his metal finger almost covered the entire thing.

"Yeah where is she at?" Raven asked coming up behind the other titans with Beast boy by his side.

"She's in down town Jump City, it looks like their in the run down out of business Shoe factory or whatever. Over on Easton Lane," Cyborg looked up at his fearless leader who was studying the map with an intensity.

"Well look at that, some originality! For the first time in my life I think we've found someone who isn't in an abandoned warehouse right by the ocean," Beast Boy beamed earning him a slap on the back of the head.

He scowled at her making her smirk teasingly at him, "Its still abandoned moron," She snipped at him.

"Will you two shut up?" Robin snapped as he began to gather his belt and snapped it around his scrawny waist.

Both raven and Beast boy grew quiet, "Ok titans, head out!" Robin shouted as he took off to his motorcycle and the others into the T-car.

…

Koren felt his eyes begin to grow heavy from lack of sleep, but he had to stay alert. On the other hand he would need sleep to take on what ever Tiffin was planning on throwing at him and Starfire who lay dormant in his arms. So after a couple of minutes of mind babble and random and a pointless argument he slipped into the same unconsciousness, he only had several hours of sleep before the metal door that held them swung open and woke the reunited couple.

There in the doorway stood the silhouette of Tiffin. A dangerous look on his face as his eyes landed on Starfire draped over Koren who now lay on his back on the hard dirt floor. His black eyes narrowed.

His voice startled them awake, "Get up!" He boomed angrily.

Starfire jumped up and landed back down on Koren making him gasp trying to get air to his lungs that she had knocked out of him. She gave him an apologetic look but he just shrugged it off as he sat up she was again sitting in his lap, her body pressed closely to his own.

"What do you want Tiffin? Don't you know its rude to wake someone when their sleeping?" Koren asked angrily giving him a sneering look which Tiffin ignored, his eyes trained on Starfire.

"Your friends failed to meet my demands," He hissed out at her, "They have sealed your fate along with that of Jump City, Koren, yours was sealed the day you double crossed us," Koren only shrugged his shoulders knowing what was in store for him but what he feared for was for Starfire's safety, he didn't know of Tiffin's plans yet.

Koren pulled out from under Starfire and stood up, Starfire slowly stood as well not leaving Koren's side for a second.

"Well now isn't that a pity, you should have known better than to know that the titans would give you suit. What are you some kind of stupid?" Koren asked placing his hands on his hips and smirking.

"I knew they wouldn't give it, but if you wish for your girlfriend to stay unharmed you will bring it to me," Tiffin smirked evilly.

Koren frowned as he pushed Starfire behind him, "If you put one hand on her I swear I'll rip your throat out," he growled out.

Starfire placed a hand on his shoulder, "I am the girl of bigness and I have the powers of a Tameranian and more, I can do the handling of myself," She said smiling, he didn't look so sure.

Tiffin smirked as he walked inside the cell, he shoved Koren to the side before he could even react and grabbed hold of Starfire's wrists and she felt something cool come around them and she began to feel weak and dizzy.

Koren was on his feet again and had Tiffin pinned against the wall, his hand locked around Tiffin's neck, "What did you do to her!" He shouted agitated.

Tiffin only chuckled, "No harm will come to her if you bring me the suit. If you don't," A dark look came over his face and Koren grabbed hold of Tiffin's neck tighter and watched as he struggled for air.

"You won't get that suit if I kill you," Koren sneered happily.

"Koren please do not do the killing, that is most brutal," Koren's mouth fell open at the sound of Starfire's weak sounding voice he turned to see two white circles glowing around her wrist draining her of all of her powers, his eyes were now blue for concern before he spoke.

"He's tried to kill me before Starfire, he almost slit my throat once when I walking home from work. Why shouldn't I kill him, if I give him the suit he'll still hurt you, but not as bad as he would want to, and then come after me and kill me," he explained, she never had a probably on Tameran when he would fight and kill to keep life on Tameran as peaceful as possible.

But was a long time ago, he opened his mouth to explain something else but before he could he felt a sharp pain in his gut and he staggered backwards. Tiffin fell to the ground but quickly recovered from punching Koren hard in the stomach, he brushed himself off before he was about to grab for the knife everyone knew he always had on him. Before his fingers could even grace the small but deadly object Collin's voice stopped him.

"Sir! The titans have found us!" he hollered exasperated panting like he had run around the entire hide out to find him.

Koren's head snapped up he tried to lung at Tiffin but he was to quick and slammed the steal door on Koren's face again. He let out a low growl before he slammed his fist into the door, not even making a dent, he walked dejectedly back to where Starfire sat about to pass back out on the ground. He just looked at her, then down at the glowing bracelets that was slowly draining her.

"Kori, I really don't understand," He asked her looking at her paper thin face and ghostly skin tone.

She smiled weakly, "I do not wish for any human to be harmed, nor do I wish for myself any harm either. I just do not wish to see the death of someone," she exclaimed in a small fragile voice.

He ran a hand throw his already messy long chestnut hair with a sigh, "You were never bothered with it before, back on Tameran," he placed a hand on her shoulder making her try and smile again.

"That was Tameran and this planet is earth," She lifted a shaking hand the bracelet of a glowing reminder. She cupped his face in her hand, "But I do not do the deciding on what you choose to do Koren, I love you and even if I do not do the agreeing I shall never do the back turning on you," Koren smiled as he leaned into her hand.

"So you won't mind if I maim him and not kill him?" He asked smiling at her.

Starfire giggled weakly, "That would be better," her voice was no more than a whispered as she began to tremble slightly.

He pulled her closer to him and took her hand in his to examine her wrist, "Do they hurt?" he asked her trying to touch one but he felt a draining sensation he retracted his hand quickly, she giggled again.

"Well I think you just did the finding in,"

"Its finding out," he said softly with a blue color in his eyes.

"do not worry over me Koren, the titans are here and will do whatever to free us," She looked at him through her long full black lashes, he couldn't help but find it really sexy but he didn't think it was appropriate to mention it right then.

"They'll free you, I was never one to be highly liked by Robin or the others," He mentioned to her, "I might just have to fight to free myself," he smiled warmly at her.

"I love you Koren," She told him as he tried to grab at her wrists again but retracted like he had just been stung.

"Forever and Always?" he smirked.

"forever and Always," She kissed him lightly making him blush for unknown reasons.

"Now about my sword," Starfire blushed an even deeper shaded of red than her hair.

…

"Beast Boy I want you to go find Starfire, and make sure she is unharmed!" Robin commanded as he swung his bow staff hitting two men off their feet but not knocking them out of the fight completely.

Beast boy gave robin a nod before he transformed into a bird and flew above the battle that raged on. He watched as Cyborg took on 5 men who had him pinned on the ground, he struggled to get up but then black energy consumed them and threw them off. They charged again but Cyborg was up and ready he shot several blasts before he was hit again by a fist, he seemed determined to win even though it looked bleak on his part.

Raven was under the same predicament but she had incased herself in a black bubble getting jarring hits that proved to be weakening her shield to the point that it would shatter soon. He could see Raven's struggles to hold them back while she tried to regain some of her strength but her mind was constantly trying to keep the shield up and the others out. She gritted her teeth, they had majorily underestimated the gang and they were paying or it now.

Beast boy rose higher when he flew down the rest of the hall and swiftly, he used his eagle hearing to try and pin point stars location, he was having trouble finding her until he caught sight of a pale skinned boy with dark black hair go running down the hall, a panicked look on his face. Beast boy thought to fall him. He flew quickly through the halls keeping perfect pace with him, the boy looked no older than 17, Beast boy didn't get why he would be with such a violent group at such a young age. The boy stopped at a thick steel door, that beast boy thought that they must have installed because this was a shoe factor may I remind you.

The boy was standing in front of the open door shouting, "Sir! The titans have found us!" As soon as the words were out he heard a low grunt and a thud, then the bald headed man from the monitor came threw slamming the door shut. The man left his hands on the door as a loud banging could be heard from inside, the man seemed to be panting trying to catch his breath.

"Tiffin, the titans there here. I think they've come for Koren and Starfire," the raven haired boy exclaimed.

So the dudes name is Tiffin. That is probably the weirdest name I have ever heard, I mean come on is there a stupider name or what? Beast boy exclaimed inside his mind.

"Shut up!" Tiffin growled as he pulled away from the door and rounded on the dark haired teen, "Collin, I was just about strangled to death in there by Koren out of his blind anger. I would like a breather now," Tiffin hissed.

Collin nodded his head, Tiffin finally looked back up at him, "I will keep the two in there until we polish off the titans then I will take the suit by having Koren secure it for me if he wants that girl of his to survive. You saw how she couldn't stand, she is slowly draining and soon there will be no energy left in her scrawny little body," Beast boy would of gasped but he was a bird and well, birds can't gasp.

Beast boy quickly changed into a fly and waited for Collin and Tiffin to leave, once he was completely sure that they were gone he transformed back into human form. He could hear faint voices through the door but he couldn't make out what they were saying by how muffled the door made them. He determined that Starfire and Koren were both in there. Now his only problem was to try and figure out how to the locked steel door. He searched frantically around the door to see if there was a set of keys, but he didn't see anything. He walked a ways down the hall, he was searching but came up no dice.

All of a sudden an idea hit him, he sauntered back to the room that Star and Koren where in and transformed into a T-Rex. He lowered his bulbous head and pressed it against the smooth cool metal of the door before he swung hard and with a loud crash sent the door flying. Smiling contently he transformed back into his normal elfish self. He peeked inside to see a wide eyed Koren holding a pale wide eyed Starfire in his lap closely to him.

"Hey guys!" He greeted waving dorkily, "did I interrupt something?" he gave them a teasing smile.

Koren just glared at beast boy before he began to gather himself and a wobbly kneed Starfire from the ground, he placed his arm around her slender waist and her arms around his neck. Beast boy raised an eyebrow at Starfire's frail condition.

"What happened to star?" He took a closer look and saw that her eyes were now a dull lifeless mossy green instead of the lively jade.

He reached a hand out to touch her but thought that if he did he could break her.

Starfire smiled kindly at him, "the bracelets are doing the taking of energy from me, is the ball of burning gases still shining?" She asked beast boy curiously.

"the what?"

"the sun moron," Koren bit off angrily at him.

Beast boy shot him a dirty look, "Yeah, buts its starting to set. And don't piss me off, your getting your ass in jail after this," Beast boy sneered.

Koren rolled his blue eyes, "Whatever, just get Starfire out in the sun before it gets to dark, she needs to gather as much energy as she can to brake those damn bracelets," he began to transfer Starfire to Beast boy.

"Ok but dude what are you going to do?" he asked adjusting Starfire on his shoulder so he could move quicker.

Koren looked from Beast boy to Starfire a compassionate look in his eyes, he pressed his lips to Starfire's quickly before pulling away and looking at Beast boy who looked a little shocked even though he had learned of Starfire's story dealing with Koren. It just never clicked in his head.

"I'm going to find Tiffin and kick his scrawny ass," the look of determination in Koren's eyes told you there was no changing his mind.

Beast boy gave him a nod before turning into a green horse and trotting away with Starfire holding loosely onto his back.
