Ok, this is close 2 one of my last chapters! We left off when Sarah almost
said her sister's name and made Robin promise not to tell anyone. Ok,
here's more! ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
* * * Robin sat with Star. About three times she had woke up, screaming but he had
just said everything was alright and she went back to sleep (she already was) Robin was
dying to know what "Te" had meant. Why did Sarah want to keep her sister's identity a secret? Robin shook his head.
"Robin..." Star said softly.
Robin glanced at her and winced. He had been doing that a lot lately. Every time
he looked at her, he felt like he lost something or something was taken away from him.
Star looked so small and weak and there was nothing Robin could do except for getting
that cure at all costs. But what costs would Robin pay just to save Star's life?
"Robin..." Star muttered again.
Robin placed a hand on her hot forehead and just watched her, hoping she wouldn't start screaming again. "
Robin...is...is it you?" Star asked softly.
Robin responded, "Star, it's me. You'll be better soon. Just...just hold on and don't give in to the poison."
"Poison?" Star asked. She opened her eyes a little and said softly, "I don't feel good. I feel...I feel worse than I did when I had those probes inside of me, which wasn't a pleasant feeling. What's going on?" Every word seemed to strain Star but she kept on speaking.
Robin said, "Slade poisoned you. Don't you remember?" Star closed her eyes shut and thought hard. "All I remember was falling and someone catching me. I blacked out after tha..." Star sounded more tired than ever. "Robin, please...help..." and she feel back to sleep.
"Star?" Robin asked. "Star, please wake up. You can't go back to sleep. I-I don't know if I'll ever see you awake again. Just try and...and get up, Star, please." Tears fell from Robin's eyes and landed on Star's face.
Star somehow woke up a little and managed to say, "Robin...thank you...you are...a...true friend and I...I...lo...lo..." she blacked out after that.
Robin put his forehead to hers, crying softly. Why Star? He asked himself. I should have known Slade would have shot her. I should have known! Suddenly, Star started shivering and her teeth chattered loudly. She curled up in a ball but still looked cold. Robin removed his cape and wrapped it around the shivering Star.
"There you go," he said softly. "That's for not preventing this from happening. It still isn't enough but I promise, Star, I'll never let anything ever happen to you again. I promise."
Robin stood up and left the room and went to the control room where Beast Boy and Cyborg were pushing buttons. "NO!!" Sarah screamed. "NOT THAT ONE!" Beast Boy's hand stopped an inch away from the button.
He turned red. "Oops, what did I almost do?"
Sarah shook her head and walked up to the button and pushed it.
"What? Why did u do that for?" Beast Boy cried. "We're all going to die, we're all going to-" He was cut off by a rumbling sound and he looked up just to see water pour from the roof. "Ah!" he cried.
Sarah burst out laughing. "Sorry, but I had to do that. It's my father's protection. See, if the person's weakness was water, he'll push that button but if it was fire..." she said and pointed to another button. "That person would be burning to death right about now.
Beast Boy said, "Well, now it is all wet in here."
Sarah walked out of the room and they followed. She shut the door and pushed a button on the side of the door and then re-pushed it. She opened the door again and everything was dry and clean.
"What did you do?" Robin asked.
Sarah answered, "Now that's a secret of mine."
Robin said, "Oh, Star was shivering. Is that okay or does it mean she's dying faster?"
Sarah looked up sharply. "Shivering?" Oh no, oh no, oh no. What did you do? Did you place a blanket on her? And where is your cape?"
Robin turned bright red. "Um, well, I put my cape on Star to keep her, um, warm."
Sarah asked, "Is your cape extremely warm?"
Robin shrugged a bit, "It's okay, I guess."
Sarah ran down the hall and shouted over her shoulder, "Everyone, grab every blanket you can find! Star's body temperature can't get any lower or she'll dies faster! Quick!" Everyone grabbed a blanket or two and brought it to Star's room.
They wrapped Star in the blankets but Star was still cold. Sarah bit her lip but then ordered everyone to step back. Everyone did, confused. But then they saw Sarah's hands glow with fire and the fire left her hands and made a circle around Star. She was heating Star with her powers.
Star stopped shivering and didn't move but they saw her exhale and inhale from time to time. That was their only way of knowing she was alive.
Sarah bit her lip and said, "I better stay here with Star. I could just leave my fire here around her but if she woke up and hit the fire she'll burn and won't feel a thing since she's sleeping in a deep sleep. So she could possibly die. Robin, drive the ship. We're almost there anyway. Beast Boy and Cy, go tell Raven we're almost there and tell her to come here."
Beast Boy saluted her. "Yes, ma'am Captain!" Sarah rolled her eyes but her eyes never left the circle of fire.
Robin drove the ship. He really didn't know what he was doing, wasn't aware he was driving. All he could think was that if Star died, he would blame himself.
"Robin?" came a soft, voice. Robin whirled around hoping it was Star but it was only Sarah.
"Oh, hi." Robin muttered.
Sarah smiled a little and said, "You don't seem too happy to see me." Her smile vanished and she said, "Robin, don't think like that. She will not die."
Robin looked at her and asked, "You can read minds?" Sarah shook her head and shrugged. "It's written on your face." She glanced at the view screen and pointed at a small speak. "There! That's the planet!"
Robin gunned the engines and once he landed on the planet, everyone filled out.
"Where's the cure?" Raven asked. Sarah only pointed to the top of a mountain.
"You mean we have to walk?" cried Beast Boy but he relaxed. "I'll just fly up. Catch the non-flyers later!"
Sarah frowned, thinking.
Raven suggested, "Alright, three of us can fly, the others can't. Cyborg, you're heavy-" "HEY!" he cried but Raven continued ignoring him, "Robin, you aren't heavy and Star doesn't seem to weigh a thing. Beast Boy will carry Star, I'll take Cy and you will take Robin, Sarah."
Everyone agreed. Cy was still saying he wasn't heavy and then Raven threatened to drop him if he complained one more time.
"Hey, Sarah, what is the cure?" Beast Boy asked, carrying Star over to her.
"Well, the cure is-" Sarah was cut off but a screaming voice coming from Star.
Star started screaming, "LEAVE ME ALONE! ALL OF YOU! PLEASE, STOP!" Star cried. She flung her arms and suddenly hit Sarah in the face and Sarah slammed into the side of the mountain.
"Argh!" She cried and almost dropped Robin.
Star started punching Beast Boy who screamed when she threw a bolt at him and he dropped her.
"STAR!" cried Robin and used his line to grab her, just like he had done when she had been shot and started to fall. Star was caught and she immediately went quiet. Robin pulled her up and Sarah grabbed Star's hand and Beast Boy then grabbed Star.
"Whew, never knew Star's bolts could sting. Those things hurt!"
Sarah looked worried and looked up. "We're almost there."
"You're bleeding!" Beast Boy said.
Sarah's lip was bleeding but she kept flying. "I'll be okay. It's not bleeding badly. Star can throw a good punch though."
When the reached the top, in the center was a tree with fruit.
"Weird..." Beast Boy muttered.
"Quick, bring Star to the tree and give her some fruit. She'll start healing!"
They brought Star to the tree and Sarah grabbed a fruit but then a laser beam shot out of nowhere and hit her hand.
"Ah!" She cried and dropped the fruit. She glanced where the laser beam had come from and saw Slade. He held a gun and it was pointed at Sarah's heart. "Do not move." He said.
* * * Robin sat with Star. About three times she had woke up, screaming but he had
