Chapter 5
She really is gone
A loud ringing sound went through the tower, and a blinking red light turned on.
"Why now? Of all times why now? I mean, it's 2:00am!" Beast Boy complained.
He entered the main room. Raven was at a counter clicking buttons. Cyborg was sitting on the couch trying to stay awake, and Robin was just standing by the counter.
"It's her." Raven said.
"Starfire?" Robin asked now heading for the screen.
Sure enough it was Starfire. She was at the bank, stealing money.
"Stealing?" Cyborg said.
"We have to get over there, now!" Robin said, and headed for the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~At the bank~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A huge explosion went through the wall, and a loud alarm went off. A slim figure appeared out of the smoke. She was dressed in all black, with her pink (some people say it's red) hair in a pony high ponytail.
She charged up green starbolts, and blasted through the safe. Then three people came/flew in.
"Please stop Star!" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah. We don't want to hurt you." Beast Boy added.
But Starfire ignored them.
"We are going to have to fight you if you don't stop!" Raven cautioned.
Still, Starfire wouldn't speak. She just kept gathering money. Secretly inside of her, she was nervous. She had never done this before, but Jadis said she was ready.
"Sorry Star, we warned you." Cyborg said, and he ran towards her.
She charged up her starbolts, and fired the first shot right at Cyborg. He went flying.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven tried again. But Starfire slipped out of the spell. She flew behind Raven, and then shot her in the neck with her eye beams. Then she landed and kicked Beast Boy into the wall. Cyborg got up, and shot his blaster, but Starfire swerved around him, and shot his wires.
She turned around to see a chair floating in front of her. She quickly flew up and shot the chair. It exploded. After that she picked up the bag with money and opened a vent in the wall. She flew through the tunnel, and opened a small door leading to the rooftop.
Robin was standing right in front of her. Then she finally spoke.
"Robin move out of the way, or I will hurt you."
"Star this isn't right! This isn't you." Robin said.
Starfire just flew passed him. He grabbed her leg; he wouldn't let her get away. She turned back and sent a starbolt flying at him. It hit him. He fell to the ground and slid to the edge. She started to fly away.
"Who ever is making you do this is going to pay." He shouted.
Then Starfire got mad. She turned around and landed right in front of him.
"Jadis didn't force me to do this! It's not her fault. It's my choice." Starfire yelled in his face, and then flew away.
Robin just lay there on the ground for what seemed like hours. The other titans went up to the roof, and they went home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Back at the tower*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The titans were miserable. She was doing this freely. Why? Why would she want to hurt her friends? It all didn't make any sense.
Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy went to bed, but Robin stayed awake. He went up to the rooftop. He remembered how they talked together after Starfire's sister was arrested. He remembered her kind, and loving warm smile.
Now that was gone. She wasn't the cheerful girl he used to know.
"She really is gone." Robin said, and went inside.
