Chapter Four
This is for all of you who wanted another chapter! thanks for reviewing! I love you!
Daraow came to the table and sat down with a gigantic smile on his face. He looked over all the titans at the table when his eyes fell finally on Raven. His shock was substantial before he turned to Robin who spoke softly.
"Surprised? Thought you got rid of her?" he asked and sat back in his chair crossing his arms. Daraow blinked away his astonishment to see the group together, in fact he half expected to find Starfire sitting in the group.
"What?! You tried to get rid of Raven?" wailed Beast Boy and Raven blushed. Cyborg noticed it and raised an eyebrow her direction as Robin answered.
"And he got Starfire kidnapped," added Robin, never turning or blinking as he stared at Daraow. It was a intimidation technic he had learned solely by watching Batman work and from the way Daraow was putting on airs, it was working. Beast Boy's jaw dropped as Raven turned her head away from Cyborg and frowned.
"You jerk! What'd they ever do to you! Why??" he demaned. Robin sat up and uncrossed his arms.
"Money," he said simply. "Where's Starfire? Where do we find her?" he asked and raised an eyebrow himself as he waited.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I was wondering myself where she was," he lied. Robin glared and had to force himself to keep calm, otherwise his technic wouldn't last long.
"Starfire..." he said slowly. "Tall red head with green eyes, Tamaranian," he added with a bite to his voice. Daraow acknowledged the bite with a cringe and squirmed, though he still refused to admit to anything.
"I know who you are talking about, but I do not know where she is," he said flatly. Raven growled, freaking Beast Boy out at first. Then he looked at her confused and grinned proudly, she was learning fast.
"Yes, you do. Stop lying. Robin knows." she said bluntly. Daraow looked at her harshly.
"I don't know what the hell she's talking about, I haven't seen the Tama---" he tried to finish but Robin had leapt up onto the table and now had Daraow's collar stiffly in his grasp. There was a fierce snarl on his face and he was breathing deeply.
Greenfire walked to the delegates room, relaying for the final time their proofed plans to get Starfire free from her uncle and aunt. Starfire was in her room getting ready for the conference. Under her dress she wore her purple titans uniform and neck band, but couldn't find a way to hide her wrist bands without being obvious so she unwillingly left them behind. Greenfire returned soon to inform her that their plan was in place and that the others would be there soon. Then he went on to ignite the plan into motion, by finding the titans and alerting Robin. Starfire watched him leave and imagined Robin's reaction. She didn't care what anybody said, he loved her and she would always love him.
"Where is she!" barked Robin harshly in Daraow's face. He was loud enough that he had attracted the entire room's attention. Daraow frowned at the attention and wished that Robin would be silent, but Robin was furious and he was honestly afraid to try. "If you don't tell me I swear I'll--"
"She's with her people where else would the princess be?" he questioned with a strained voice.
"What....room?" he asked. Raven looked at Cyborg and Beast Boy, this was about to get ugly. Robin growled verbally at his foe. He wasn't answering. Robin knew this idoit was lying, but he wouldn't admit it, and the only thing that was keeping him from pounding his fat head in was the fact that he knew where to find Starfire. He should've trusted Star's instinct ont his one, but no...the Titans had to help. After this, he vowed to himself, they'd stick to earth. Besides there was no teling what kind of mayhem Slade or the various other criminals were subjecting Gotham to in his absence. Robin was just about to fill Daraow's face full of fist when an orange starbolt knocked Daraow out his grasp and away from the table. The titans and buffet audience gaped openly at the exxpressionless Greenfire.
Starfire held her breath as she moved down the hallway slowly. Even though Bluefire and Nightfire were nearly brushing against her shoulders she wished these body guards of hers would come closer. It had obviously been a while since she had been treated like royalty because her cheeks were flaming with crimson and she struggled to walk "properly". Nightfire scanned the faces of their drawing audience carefully while Bluefire repeatedly flexed his fists. He was waiting on someone to attack and he was more than ready if they did. Deepfire thought similarly as he strode behind them. This crowed acted as though they'd never seen Tamaranian royalty before. Star's green eyes strayed off into the crowd, against her better judgement, to look for a sign of her friends. Perhaps Greenfire hadn't made it to Robin in time! She was running out of hallway for the Titans to ambush them on and her guards were getting anxious. Either way the faces of those around her who were clamoring in admiration, was beginning to completely embarass her.
"Are you Robin?" asked Greenfire seriously.
"Who's asking?" replied Robin suspiciously as he turned to face his generous stranger hatefully. He'd been looking forward to that punch. Greenfire suddenly shot out another attack at an arousing Daraow.
"Tamaranian traitor!" he groaned as he flew three feet past his original landing site. None of the Titans looked away from Greenfire who had yet to answer.
"What's he talking about traitor Tamaranian?" questioned Beast Boy under his breath. He didn't dare interrupt this silence.
"This is one of the Tamaranians who took Starfire," explained Raven. Cyborg and Beast Boy glared at the intruder.
"One of the one's who took Starfire huh? Maybe you're the one who blasted her side wide open? You see, we're not really too happy with having our friend kidnapped," said Robin snidely. Greenfire blinked.
"How did you know I was there?" he asked astonished. Cyborg and Raven looked at each other in disbelief, while Beast Boy pointed insanely at Raven.
"Um hello?" he said sarcastically and sighed. "How could you miss her?" Raven blushed at this and knocked her green sweetheart out of his chair.
"And you know of the Princess' wound because she ran to you when she ran away," said Greenfire deductively. Beast Boy clamored back into his chair.
"Nope, it's still hard to think of Star as a Princess," said Cyborg with conclusion in his voice.
"If she ran to you then you must be the Robin of which she calls for," said Greenfire.
"You think?" said Robin sarcastically.
"I am Greenfire, the Princess sent me for you. Please follow me and I'll explain everything," smiled the guard. Robin leapt off the table and was quickly at Greenfire's side.
"What do you know about Starfire?" he demanded.
"I know where she is..." he said with another grin.
"I don't know man, but I think we should trust this guy. He's a lot more friendly than that dude was," said Cyborg with a shrug. Raven came up next to him and the others.
"I agree. He doesn't seem to want anything to do with hurting us and he was a little easier on Starfire than the other guy..." she said quietly.
"I remember you. I did not harm you did I?" he asked quickly. Raven blinked with a blank expression. Beast Boy grinned.
"That'd be a no," he said. Greenfire smiled broadly and it reminded Robin bitterly of his beloved. Together the group began to head out, going at full speeds to reach up with Starfire.
"Please do not think that I would harm the Princess, any of you. It was my friend Whitefire than did injury to her ribs," he said as he looked around a corner they passes. Robin was following tightly behind but this was something he wanted to get to the bottom of.
"You mean that other guy with the yellow starbolts?" asked Raven.
"That's right," he said and sped up. Robin did the same, while in his mind he thought of what he would do that bastard with the yellow starbolts.
