Raven glanced at Sarah, almost nervously. Sarah looked ready to kill. Raven
decided to talk to her telepathy. She said in her mind to Sarah, Sarah,
don't worry. Slade will pay for what he has done.
Sarah looked surprised but her face resumed its hard, cold gaze. She responded, Raven, we must keep Slade's attention from Star. If he finds out she's healing...he might...kill her himself.
Raven nodded and she lifted some rocks and threw them at Slade who just laughed and jumped out of the way. "Raven...you can do much better than that pathetic attempt."
Suddenly, Slade laughed. He turned to where Star and Robin were.
Star was sucking the fruit and her strength was returning. But not quick enough.
Slade said, "Have a nice and painful death, you two."
With that said, he shot a laser beam at both Robin and Star and sent then flying over the cliff. Robin managed to grab the cliff's edge but his grip wasn't strong enough. Star held on to his arm as he struggled to not let go.
"Robin..." Star said. Robin glanced at her and saw color was returning to her face.
Robin wanted to cry with relief but said, "Star? You're awake! Good, now fly then we won't fall to our deaths!"
Star shook her head, "My flying ability has not yet recovered, Robin. But, I wanted to say is...I'm going to let go so you can survive."
"What?" Robin asked, stunned. He tightened his grip on Star's hand.
Star smiled weakly and said, "Robin, I rather that one of us survives than both of us and I want that to be you. Save yourself Robin."
Robin cried, "No! I made a promise that nothing bad would ever happen to you again and I'm going to keep that promise, Star."
Star shook her head slowly, "No, Robin...I want to thank you for being a great and caring friend. You always protected me whenever I was in trouble. And I just wanted to thank you for that, Robin."
Tears welled up in Robin's eyes and he whispered, "Star? I have something to tell you and I hope your listening."
Star nodded and said, "I'm listening."
Robin took a deep breath and said, "I-I love you."
Star's eyes welled up with tears and she whispered back, "I love you too, Robin, and that's why I'm going to let you live. Because I love you."
"Star...no..." Robin said but Star let go. "NO!" Robin cried out. He saw Star's figure vanish in the mist and he struggled himself not to cry.
He wanted so badly to let go and right when he was going to, someone grabbed him and flipped him on the surface. He found Slade standing there, grinning.
"Well, well, well, Robin. How very touching. And you had to admit your feelings for one another right when the other died. Pity."
Robin's hands clenched and he said, "This is you fault. And you're going to pay." With that, Robin kicked Slade in the face and Slade fell. Robin punched Slade harder than he kicked him.
Slade rolled out and stood up. A helicopter appeared and Slade grabbed the rope, climbing. "Hope there's a nice funeral!" He called once he was safe out Robin's reach.
Robin fell to his knees, tears falling freely. The other Titans and Sarah watched, stunned. They liked, no correction, loved each other? How could they not notice? Suddenly the cage and chains disappeared and Sarah stepped over toward Robin. No one knew what to do.
"She's gone, she's gone, she's really, really gone." Robin cried.
Raven stepped forward and looked down, concentrating. She was trying to rise Star. But something interfered. She couldn't seem to locate Star's body.
Sarah gave Raven a question look but turned back to Robin, who's tough face had crumpled and was covered with tears.
Sarah knelled to his level and whispered, "It'll be ok, Robin. Everything will be fine. She's...she's here, watching you. And I don't think she would want you to be like this. I can almost hear her voice, asking you not to cry."
Robin pounded his fist into the ground and said in a shaky voice, "I-I should've known she would have done something like that. It was like her to never think of herself but to think about everyone else...oh God, it's my fault, all my fault."
Sarah stood and whispered to the other Titans, "He might be in shock for awhile. Now, we should be worrying where we should go. It's almost dark and the Pazadanas do not like strangers. We have to find shelter and the ship might be a trap. So we better start searching."
The Titans nodded slowly, and each one of them passed the edge of the rock and said a silent goodbye to their alien friend.
Robin was last and said, facing down where Starfire had last disappeared, "Star...I don't think I'll be able to live without you. But...but...why Star, do you have to be so nice and so caring? Why didn't you save yourself and let me die? Why? Did you want to leave me with this...hole in my heart? Star, I-I can't even breathe. Hardly think of anything but you," he ended softly. "I love you, Starfire." Then, he quickly left, tears threatening to pour over.

"Did you get the alien girl?" a man's voice asked harshly.
The robot nodded and dropped her body on the floor, in front of his master who was hidden by the shadows.
"Good...everything is going according to plan. Soon, and very soon, I'll contact the Titans and use her as bait. They haven't seen the last of me. Not yet."
The man moved out of the shadows and Slade appeared, grinning.
"Soon, Robin, you'll be mine."
