Chapter 3: His Icy Blue Eyes

In the last chapter, Starfire got saved by an unknown person, while the Titans had barely gotten out of the door on a mission to find her. They made progress huh? Now, get ready for the next chapter.

Beast Boy: Geez, how many chapters are there going to be?

A lot.

Beast Boy: Well that's to the point…

HIS ICY BLUE EYES

"Man, that was yet another waste of time." Beast Boy jumped onto the couch, sighing.

"Well at least we found something, right? Right?" Cyborg held up a bandage covered in blood.

"That might not even belong to Starfire! Who's bright idea was it to bring that back?" Robin looked at the others, pointing at the bandage.

"It had her scent on it, it did I swear!" Beast Boy had been a dog when he found it, having not listened to Robin's orders(searching from the sky as a bird).

Robin narrowed his eyes at Beast Boy, "I see….."

"Shouldn't you be uh…," Raven pointed at the bandage, hoping not to waste time like they usually did arguing.

"Robin looked from Raven to the bandage, "Right." He snatched it from Beast Boy, walking out of the room. "I hope this blood matches her DNA," he whispered to himself.

"Nothing else to do but play some video games!" Cyborg joined Beast Boy on the couch, handing a controller to him.

Raven rolled her eyes, knowing that the two would be playing for hours. She began to think of what she might do to pass the time. "I'll be in my room," she called dully. Of course, nobody was listening so she didn't want for a reply.

*****

Starfire sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Where am I this time?" She looked up, a clear blue sky greeted her, the sun shining brightly. "Hmmm, a rooftop I suppose." It was rather plain, nothing more then a door leading down into the building and blocks of cement here and there. She stood up, about to head towards the door, when she saw someone, leaning over the edge of the roof, watching the people below.

He was clad in ink-black boots, shirt, pants, and a loose leather jacket(also black). It's metal clips clanged together in the breeze. His hair was of course, black, and reasonably short, with a few streaks of blue.

"Glad you're feeling better."

Starfire jumped back in surprise, her eyes flashing green for a moment. "Wh-who are you?"

"Well that, is not important. The question is…., who are you?" The man turned around, looking at Starfire, straight in the eye. His eyes were a cold, icy blue, almost grey looking. He was about 18 years old from the look of it.

Starfire closed her eyes, "I don't know," she answered firmly.

"Indeed." The man took a few steps towards Starfire, his eyes still on her's.

Starfire backed away, "What do you want with me?"

"I want nothing from you. I only want to help you." The man stopped, noticing Starfire's discomfort.

"Then why will you not speak your name?" Starfire tried to keep calm, she could feel the warmth in her hands.

The man sighed, "You may call me…..Zephyr. Please, I do not wish to harm you."

Starfire relaxed slightly, "Why would you want to help me? Do I even know you?"

"No, you don't know me, but I have been watching you for a long time." Zephyr tried to smile, hoping to achieve some trust.

"Watching me?"

"Yes, you have an interesting gift, a powerful one I might add." Zephyr took a few steps closer, reaching out to take Starfire's hands.

Starfire narrowed her eyes, stepping back, putting her hands behind her back. "What do you mean?"

"Do you not remember? Or….do you refuse to?" Zephyr raised a brow, amused with Starfire's still innocent personality. "You're summoning the power as I speak, you can feel it." He took out a small mirror, "Look."

Starfire slowly stepped up to the mirror, a little reluctant. At first, she didn't know what she was looking for. Then she saw it, her eyes were glowing. She closed her eyes repeatedly, thinking that it was just an illusion. "What's wrong with my eyes?"

*****

"Titans!"

Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg headed towards Robin's room, upon hearing his call.

"He sounds angry, I bet that the bandage wasn't hers."

"Possibly, though it can't hurt to hope for the best Beast Boy." Raven looked at him for a moment, wondering if he would make a smart remark.

As they walked into Robin's room, they were surprised that he was smiling. Well, maybe not totally. They had had their doubts but at the moment it looked like things were starting to turn around for the Titans.

Robin sat on his bed, still smiling, the bandage in his hand. He didn't move, not at all. The other Titans were wondering if he had turned into a statue or something.

At last Cyborg spoke, breaking the silence. "Well?"

Robin remained silent, but turned his head to Cyborg. He started to chuckle softly, "It's hers."

*****

"Right now, the only way that you can summon up your power is through strong emotions. In time, you will probably be able to at any moment."

Starfire pushed the mirror into Zephyr's chest. "What if I don't want this 'power'? Why can't I be normal?"

Zephyr shook his head, "You never have been and you never will be 'normal', it's who you are."

"Oh, really? Who am I then? It looks like you know everything else about me."

Zephyr closed his eyes momentarily, opening them slowly. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Why wouldn't I?" A flash of uncertainty passed through Starfire's mind.

Zephyr sighed, "Alright fine. If it is your wish, I will grant it. You were once know as Starfire."

"Starfire? Why was I called Starfire?" She, looked at Zephyr expectantly. Before she could hear his answer, there was a sudden sharp pain in her head. She collapsed, passing out.

Starfire was in the middle of a street, four other people standing beside her. Two of them were badly injured. One looked like a robot, the other had a hood covering their face. The other two were hardly able to stand. One was green, with pointy ears, the other had a bright, yellow cape. She couldn't see them perfectly, though her vision was blurry for some reason. She suddenly felt herself rising into the air, fast. She was facing a monster, a gigantic one. It was bigger then anything that she had ever seen before. She couldn't quite see it's features because the sun was in her eyes. She bolted from her spot in the sky, hurtling towards the creature. As she got closer, she could hear someone calling out. "Star! Watch out!" After that, there was no more.

*****

"We've got something, we've finally got something." Beast Boy smiled, they had at last found a sign that told them that Starfire was still alive.

Everyone looked at the bandage in awe, as if it was worth millions. Of course, it was to them. They were going to find Starfire, and everything would be back to the way it should be. At least, that's what they thought.

"Okay….so now what do we do?" Cyborg looked at the others, getting tired of staring at the bloody cloth.

"Well, we need to now where to start looking. Beast Boy, where did you find this?" Robin put the bandage in a bag and placed it on his bed gently.

"By this store….I forget what it was called. The owner, well I think he was the owner, stared at me through the window. I don't know, it could have been because I was a green dog."

"Well then, we'll start there. Let's go." Robin raced out of the room, the others following closely behind.

Raven felt uneasy, it had something to do with how Beast Boy found the bandage. It was almost too easy. She of course, happened to be right about this. What Beast Boy hadn't noticed, was a man, standing on top of a building across the street, watching him with his icy, blue eyes.

*****

"Starfire? Starfire? Are you alright?"

"…Huh?"

"You passed out, what happened?"

Starfire flinched with every metion of her name, thinking that she might lose consciousness again. "Well, I-I can't remember…"

Zephyr helped Starfire up, seeing that she was still a little out of it. "That's alright, maybe we should go to my place."

"Your place? You have a place?" Starfire rubbed her eyes, trying to adjust to the light.

"Well, it's not exactly mine. I'm living with a few friends of mine, I think you'll like them though." Zephyr took Starfire's hand, looking up at the sky. "Ready?"

"Ready for what?" Starfire gave him a quizzical look.

Zephyr paused, then grinned. "Oh, right, you don't know what I'm talking about. Um…" He released her hand, bringing both of his up so Starfire could see them. "Watch."

Starfire watched intently as Zephyr closed his eyes and clenched his fists. She was going to ask what was going on when suddenly his fists started to glow, blue. Then he opened his eyes, they were also glowing the same eerie blue.

"Recognize anything?" Zephyr grinned, tossing a bolt to the side, only making a small explosion.

"Y-you have my abilities?"

"Well no, not exactly." Zephyr closed his eyes once more. When he opened them they weren't glowing anymore, nor were his hands. "I can well…let's say 'borrow', other people's powers and abilities. Of course, in your case, I wouldn't be as powerful as you because you're fueled by your emotions. I can't do that so you would easily defeat me, but it's rare that I use someone's power against them."

"Oh," was Starfire's only reply.

"So, I'm going to teleport us, get it?"

Starfire nodded, "Yeah, I think so."

"Well let's get going then." Zephyr took Starfire's hand and held it in his. In a moment, they were gone.

*****

"Woof!"

"Found something Beast Boy?" Robin ran over to him, his hopes high.

"Yeah, someone else was here, with Starfire," Beast Boy said as he changed back to his normal form. "They went over there." He pointed across the street.

"Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy's found a trail."

Beast boy changed back into a dog and made his way across the street, having a hard time with the cars. He stopped in front of a building, "Woof!"

The others joined him, looking at everything closely, hoping to find some sort of clue. There was nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual things you would find in a downtown street.

Once again in his human form, Beast Boy looked up towards the top of the building. "Hmmm. Their scent stops here." He blinked a few times before changing into a falcon. He flew above the buildings, looking every which way. He looked like he was about to come back down, when he flew over to the top of the building they were standing in front of and landed. "Guys, I found something!"

"We'll be up in a minute!" Robin ran inside, heading for the stairs. Raven and Beast Boy followed. "Raven you go up the elevator there," he pointed to the elevator on the left. "Cyborg, go up that one," he pointed to the other one. "I'll go up the stairs."

"Why are we doing this?" Raven pushed the up botton, watching the blinking numbers over the top of the elevator approach the 'G'.

"To see if we can find some clues as to Starfire's whereabouts," Robin said simply.

"Right," Cyborg said before jumping into his elevator.

"See you at the top guys." Robin opened the door to the stairs, jumping the steps.

Beast Boy was sitting atop one of the cement blocks as Robin came through the door. "Where are Raven and Cyborg?"

"They took the elevators, they'll be here soon." As Robin finished the sentence, Cyborg came out, followed by Raven.

"Miss me?" Cyborg grinned, looking around. "Why would they be up here?"

"I don't know…but I did find something." Beast Boy motioned for the other to follow him. He walked over to the far end of the roof, and pointed down from where he was standing. "Look."

"It's a scorch mark." Raven looked at it, wondering what it was from.

"One of Starfire's?" Cyborg bent over, pondering over it.

Robin shook his head, "No, I don't think so. Starfire's are way bigger, this one's nothing compared to her's."

"Yeah, you're right." Beast Boy frowned, totally puzzled.

"Maybe the one that's with her is another Tamaranian?"

Robin nodded, "Maybe Raven, Maybe."

So what'd you think? I made it longer, I think…yeah. Hope it's long enough for everyone. Sorry it took so long, I had a lot of distractions -_-. Anyway, reviews would be good but I can't make you do one right?

TO BE CONTINUED……

Beast Boy: Hey, the rest of the team has to pull their weight! I'm doing all of the work.

Well, if you say so….

Beast Boy: Yeah, I do.

Fine. By the way, the only thing I own in this story is Zephyr.
