CHAPTER 2-Hot Hands, Glowing Eyes.
In the previous chapter, Starfire wandered the streets of the city, trying to figure out who she was, while Robin and the rest of the Titans pigged out on pizza. What will happen next? You'll have to read on.
Beast Boy: Well, what if I don't wanna?
Cyborg: Aw, shut your mouth man.
Starfire: Please friends, let's just read the story.
Raven: Let's.
HOT HANDS, GLOWING EYES
"We need help."
"Well that's obvious Robin, but who could help?" Beast Boy tapped his fingers on the table, getting anxious.
"Trackers….uh….trackers…..yeah." Cyborg continued to think, hoping to come up with more.
"I've got your tracker right here man." Beast Boy smirked and changed into a bloodhound, wagging his tail.
"Wouldn't you be more useful searching overhead instead Beast Boy?" Raven looked at Beast Boy questioningly, hoping he'd come up with the right answer.
Beast Boy nodded, changing back. "Er-yeah, I guess."
The Titans, all except Starfire, were in the living room debating on how to find her. As usual, they couldn't agree on anything, preferring to decide it through fighting. Of course, if they didn't decide soon, time would run out.
Cyborg and Raven were both looking much better, no signs that they had gotten injured. They only had a few cuts, not very noticeable. This was looked on as a good sign.
"So, we'll find some help, we'll make a plan, and we'll find Star. Pretty basic right? Let's make sure we get this right, Starfire's depending on us." Robin looked at each of his friends, seeing if they agreed. To his surprise, they all nodded.
Beast Boy jumped out of his seat, "Let's get to it then!"
*****
"Get away from me, freak!" The shopkeeper took a few steps back, staring angrily at Starfire.
"Wha-what do you mean?" Starfire followed the shopkeeper's eyes to her hands. "What's wrong with me?!" She backed up, shaking her hands, an attempt to get rid of the energy developing in them. As she did this, she turned to the window, seeing her glowing eyes. "Ahhh!" She screamed, not understanding what was going on.
The shopkeeper looked at Starfire, bursting into laughter. "A freak that doesn't know she's a freak!" He continued to laugh, pointing at Starfire.
This only increased her anger, adding on to Starfire's fear. She brought her hands up, ready to punch the shopkeeper. She clenched her fists, accidentally releasing the green energy from her hands. It narrowly missed the shopkeeper, scaring him to the breaking point.
"What the-!" the shopkeeper glared at Starfire before jumping to the side. "You're trying to kill me!"
At this, Starfire's anger increased even farther. She clenched her hands once more, although she had been trying not to. The blast went straight down, sending her flying high into the air. "Help!" She screamed, not aware she could fly.
Her quarrel with the shopkeeper had attracted the attention of the people nearby, but they could only look up at her in awe. None of them recognized her as one of the Teen Titans, she didn't look or even act like Starfire.
Starfire closed her eyes, feeling the wind whip past her. She knew she was going to die when she landed on the ground. It looked like she would never figure out who she really was. She cried out one last time, angry at herself, knowing the ground was coming nearer.
*****
"Alright, we got a few citizens, that's good!" Beast Boy looked happily at the others, none of them feeling the same.
"Well, I guess we should be thanking them but…." Cyborg trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck.
"They aren't much help," Raven added plainly,
Cyborg nodded, "Yeah, that's-that's what I was going to say."
"It just wasted our time. We should have just gone out looking." Robin put his head in his hands, growling.
"Well, there is one solution."
Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy looked at Raven, wondering what she had in mind.
"We start searching…now." Raven got up out of her chair, the other's joining her.
"Uh, yeah, good idea Raven…never would have thought of it." Robin hastily walked to the door, pushing everyone out the door. "Let's go, let's go!"
IN THE STREETS (or in the sky)
He watched her fall from the sky, her streams of energy trailing behind her. "I knew she'd run…" He sighed, heading towards the scene.
The shopkeeper had no interest in saving Starfire, and he didn't need to show it. He simply shrugged and walked back into his store.
-This is the end-, thought Starfire, -it's all going to be over in a few seconds.- She kept her eyes tightly closed, scared of what she'd see.
"I'm going to be too late!" He ran faster, defying his thoughts. Starfire was only 20 seconds away from her doom. He looked around before suddenly disappearing. He reappeared right under Starfire, getting ready to hold her weight. "Urgh," he strained slightly as she landed in his arms.
Starfire looked up at the face of the person that had just saved her. "Huh?" She passed out, the details of what had happened in a mere minute flashing through her mind before it went blank. Her eyes returned to their normal colour, her hands losing their glow.
"Don't worry, I've got you now."
Well that's done. Not much to say, I'm trying to write the chapters longer but it just isn't coming. They probably will eventually, but for now, they shall be short. Thanks for the advice Blackbird, I'm glad to get some criticism along with the good stuff.
TO BE CONTINUED…..yeah.
Beast Boy: Longer! Funnier! You gotta have funny stuff, you-
Cyborg: (whacks Beast Boy) Reviews are welcome but not needed. (whacks Beast Boy again for the fun of it)
