chapter 12

Robin looked up in disbelief as both ember and Starfire where being held by plasmas, ember was scowling but that was it and Starfire was struggling but not succeeding to break free. A silence spread out and robin felt Slades eye drilling into him, he had to make a choice soon or he'd probably loose both. Robin ground his teeth and looked up into starfire's eyes, she continued to struggle and gave him a determined expression but robin could also see how helpless she felt behind that. He then looked at ember whose eyes where half closed and her teeth ground together. Robin clenched his fists and prepared to attack slade but the tightening of Slades hand on his shoulder made him stop.

"if you attack me, those two will be in even more trouble, if you don't choose soon robin you wont get either, your lucky I'm a nice guy" slade said.

Robin closed his eyes and took a deep breath shaking Slades hand off his shoulder, he had forgotten about it until that point.

"So have you made a decision?" slade asked a hint of amusement in his voice, robin growled and looked up at Starfire, a helpless expression on his face.

"Yes, ill take ember" robin said with no emotion in his voice.

"Very well" slade said as plasmas let go of ember who fell to the floor and struggled to get up, robin ran to her side and helped her up.

"Well robin good bye for now, better say good bye to your little girlfriend to" slade said and smoke covered the area when it cleared slade, plasmas and Starfire where gone, robin looked up with no expression until he heard a groan from the girl he was holding up.

"Hold on ember, we'll be back at the tower in no time and then we will fix you up" robin said as he picked up the now unconscious girl and made his way back to the r cycle. 'Starfire please be safe' he thought as he ran through the forest.


"What's taking them so long, I don't like sitting here not knowing what's happening" speedy complained as he carried on pacing, the rest of the titans where sat around in silence waiting for anything to give news on what was happening. Cyborg stood by the window, bumble bee by his side looking out for any sign of them.

In the distance Cyborg made out the shape of a bike coming towards the tower and turned around.

"Guys they're on there way here lets go and wait for them in the garage" Cyborg said and almost everyone was out the door and waiting impatiently in the garage. Then the r cycle finally came in everyone quickly ran over.

"Did everything go ok?" Cyborg asked as he stood at the front of the group in front of the r cycle. Robin took off his helmet no expression on his face and picked ember up off his bike.

"Cyborg she needs medical attention now she's been unconscious for a long time, I'm not sure what injuries she's got" robin said.

"I'm on it" Cyborg said as he stepped forward to take ember off of robin before he ran off to the medical room. Robin started walking towards the tower when a question stopped him.

"Hey where's Starfire?" bumble bee asked looking around; this also made the other titans in the garage notice that the alien was absent.

"Yeah where is she I didn't see her come in" aqua lad joined in and everyone was silent, robin started walking again back towards the tower.

"Robin where's Starfire?" speedy asked and everyone looked at is retreating figure.

"Robin? Robin! Where the hell is Starfire?" bumble bee shouted after him and he finally stopped and spun around.

"Slades got her ok? So stop quizzing me and let me get to the evidence room so I can find her!" robin shouted before he turned and started to march up to the tower again before speedy grabbed hold of his shoulder.

"You let slade get her? Why the hell did you do that?" speedy shouted and robin paused turning his head to glare at him.

"It's not like I had a choice!" robin spat.

"There is always a choice robin I can't believe you let him get her! Do you realise what he's probably going to do to her!" speedy shouted taking a swing at robin but his hand stopped just before it hit his face and became enveloped in black.

"Enough!" raven shouted as she walked forward towards speedy and robin, most of the other titans where still to in shock to really realise what was happening.

"Do you really think robin would let slade take Starfire with out having a reason? NO! So back off and let robin find Starfire so he can get her back, he wouldn't let anyone on the team get captured if there was a way of stopping it!" raven shouted at speedy as he dropped his hand to his side but he was still glaring at both of them.

"Do you think really think robin would let any harm come to Starfire or anyone on this team unless there was a good reason! And even if there wasn't do you no what he probably feels like right now knowing Slades got her! NO so just lay off until you no the facts!" raven shouted her eyes turning slightly red as she still hadn't had enough time to meditate since the jinx accident.

Beast boy ran forward and grabbed ravens arm. "I agree with raven, we don't no what happened but we will get her back anyway, getting at robin isn't going too help anything" beast boy said and most people starred at him amazed that he said something that wasn't stupid, if it was under different circumstances someone probably would've taken the Mick.

"Let's go upstairs and robin can explain what happened that way we can all help out" bumble bee said walking up to them. Robin nodded and carried walking up the stairs with the rest of the titans following.

The titans entered the lounge and sat down waiting for robin to explain.

"So what happened?" aqua lad finally said and robin stopped looking out the window and turned around to face them.

A couple of minutes later the room was quiet as everyone let what robin said sink in.

"Why did you choose ember instead of Starfire?" beast boy asked and robin sighed.

"Because ember was injured and Starfire wasn't and because I promised ember I would keep her away from slade, if slade gets hold of her who knows what will happen? Robin sighed wiping his face.

"Robin we will get her back don't worry" raven said.

"I no we will" Robyn said leaving the titans and heading to the evidence room.

"I'm going to go and see if Cyborg needs any help" bumble bee said breaking the silence that had taken over the tower.

"Same" raven said walking out of the room her leaving the other titans again in complete silence.


Bumble bee and raven walked into the medical room to see ember laying on one of the beds still unconscious with a lot of bandages and Cyborg looking at a screen beside her bed.

"How is she?" bumble bee asked as the two of them stood behind Cyborg, looking at the screen.

"She's stable, she's got a couple broken ribs, her neck is badly bruised but all her other injuries are minor cuts and bruises" Cyborg explained.

"I can help" raven said before her hand starting glowing light blue and she held it over embers chest.

"Thanks raven that's going to speed it up a lot, she should be fine in no time, how are the others? Robin didn't look to happy" Cyborg said and a silence took over the medical room.

"What's happened?" Cyborg asked and bumble bee sighed.

"Slades got Starfire, he made robin choose between the two of them" bumble bee said and Cyborg looked down.

"Oh... I don't think we have to worry too much though, starfire's strong and robin isn't going to stop until he finds her" Cyborg said and bumble bee nodded.

"Starfire won't give up without a fight" raven added in and Cyborg smiled.

"Of course she wouldn't and neither will we" Cyborg said. There attention was then brought to ember as she let out a small moan.

"Ember can you hear us? How are you feeling?" Cyborg asked and embers eyes fluttered open slowly.

"One of her ribs is healed, I'm working on the other now" raven said, sweat was starting to appear on her forehead. Ember closed her eyes again bit her lip and opened them again, her eyes shinning with uncried tears.

"Ember what's wrong? what hurts?" bumble bee said and ember shook her head slightly.

"Slades got her hasn't he?" she asked weakly her voice slightly croaky and forced, bumble bee nodded her head slightly and a tear escaped embers eye.

"He should've taken me, why? This isn't fair! It should've been me" ember said hoarsely as more tears escaped.

"Ember don't say that" bumble bee said but ember shook her head again.

"But its true, if I didn't run off Starfire would never have come to me and then she never would've been taken this is my fault, wherever I am I always just get in the way!" she said her eyes flashing slightly.

"ember calm down and have more faith in Starfire, she's strong, you've seen her fight and she's very determined, we will get her back it shouldn't have been you, if we let slade have you he would think of some way to control you so you would fight us and that would hurt Starfire more then anything slade can do" Cyborg said and ember calmed down a little bit.

"Still if it wasn't for me none of this would've happened" she whispered and raven looked at her.

"do you think we didn't no what we where getting ourselves into when we went after you, there's always a possibility that you'll get hurt or captured when protecting people but that's a chance that we all take" raven said and the room went quiet again and ember calmed down even though she still blamed herself.
