I wasn't planning on updating so soon but I'm bored and decided, why not?
Anyways, I want to thank all my reviews. Oh, and after this is over (tears)
I'm thinking of a sequel. Tell me if I should have one! Ok, on with the
story. We now discovered Starfire thinks the Titans were laughing and
mocking her cause Slade told her and she saw Robin talking about the time
she kept asking to check up on Raven and Starfire took it the wrong way.
Meanwhile, Slade's happy. Ok, read and review!

Robin ran the whole way. At the mountain, he was out of breath but he ignored his panting and his aching lungs. All he cared about was seeing Starfire.
Raven carried Cyborg and he didn't complain, Sarah took Robin, and Beast Boy just flew by himself.
In the top, Robin paced impatiently. Slade was late.
Suddenly, a helicopter landed and out came Slade, grinning. Following his was Starfire, a gun pointed at her head by a robot, who shoved her roughly to get off the helicopter.
"Starfire!" Robin called happily. He took a step forward, ready to hold her but Slade shook his head.
"Remember our deal Robin? You stand there, on that side of the cliff, and I'll stand here."
Robin nodded and walked to his spot across from Slade. Starfire was placed in the middle.
"Choose, now, Starfire, who you want to go with. And make it wise..." Slade demanded.
Starfire gazed at Robin for a spilt second and then turned and began walking towards Slade.
Robin asked, surprised, "Starfire? Where...what...come to me! What are you doing?"
Starfire shook her head and said in a whisper, "No. I won't go with you. You've tricked me over all these years."
Robin asked, astounded, "What? I would never—"
Starfire snapped, "Stop it! Stop all the lies! I heard you all laughing and talking about me, when you thought I was dead! You never liked me, it was all an act!"
Robin shook his head and whispered, "Never, Star...I would never..."
Starfire turned her back to Robin and faced Slade. "How can I believe you, Robin? You promised you wouldn't get over obsessed with Slade again and you did! How can I believe someone who breaks promises like it's nothing?"
Slade whispered, "Yes, Starfire, they're all betrayers. They all laughed and mocked you. Now, come to me."
Starfire took another step closer to Slade. "STARFIRE NO! Don't do it! He's tricking you!"
Starfire spun on her heel and faced Robin and pointed a finger at him. "How dare you! You say he's tricking me yet you are just like him! On my planet, those who accuse others of their own wrong doings is called a Borbajan!"
"Whoa...that was harsh," Raven muttered. "That's one of the things you never want to be called."
Starfire walked right up to Robin, looked him squarely in the eye and slapped him. She raised her hand to slap him again but he caught it and pulled her in, hugging her and burying her face in his chest while she cried.
Slade merely laughed. "How touching...but she came to me and only came to you to slap you so she's now mine!"
Robin hugged Starfire. "Never!"
Starfire suddenly pushed away. She looked away and then looked at Slade. She turned back to Robin and said softly, "You still tricked me...you mocked me and laughed about me! You said I didn't quit asking you if we could go check on Raven! I...I cannot be with someone who does such things."
She slowly walked back to Slade when Raven encased her in black magic. Raven said, "We weren't laughing at you Starfire. We were...remembering the good times you gave us. We were...happy. We enjoyed them."
Starfire stared at Raven. "Is...are you telling the truth?"
Suddenly, Slade grabbed Starfire and held a gun at her head. "Sorry to break up the moment but we have to go. And, oh, don't even think of taking another step closer. If I push this trigger, her whole body will break down because too much poison is in her. So if I were you, I would think twice before taking a step closer."
He shoved Starfire back into the helicopter and waved goodbye to the Titans.
Robin pounded the ground with his fist. He had held her but she was gone again. And she was going to die tomorrow at sunset if they didn't get her here. Unless...
"Sarah, can we take the fruit to Starfire?" Robin asked.
Sarah shook her head sadly. "No...the poison one must eat here or the cure will wear off if you take it away. Nice thinking though..."
Beast Boy said, "Well...it's good to know she's still alive, not dead!"
Robin growled, "And being with Slade isn't like death? It's torture! We have to get her out of his grip! Now! Raven; start scanning the area for some hint of a location of where Starfire could be. Sarah...Sarah?" Sarah had wandered away.
Robin yelled, "Sarah, get over here! It isn't time to look at the ground! We have to save Starfire!"
Sarah glared at him but said, "Well, I might know where she is. Look at this leaf," she said, picking up a leaf on the ground. "It's rare and only found in one place. So I think I've got a good idea where Slade's hideout is. I noticed Starfire had dropped something right before Slade dragged her to the ship. She gave us a lead. So even though Slade had somehow made her believe we hadn't cared about her, she must have had, a little at least, believe we wouldn't do something like that."
Robin nodded. "Good...lead the way."
Sarah shook her head. "It isn't as close as you might think it is...it's on the other side of the planet. If we walked, Starfire would be dead by the time we got there."
Robin snapped, "We'll then take the ship."
Sarah shook her head. "Slade must have planted a trap in there. I don't think we should..."
Cyborg said, "Don't worry, I'll know if he planted a trap or not. Let's go and check it out."
Sarah bit her lip. "Alright...let's go."
Cyborg grabbed her hand. "Calm down, Sarah. Slade isn't a genius. He was probably to busy getting Starfire to even think about planting a bomb in the ship. Besides, it's HIS ship so it's not like we lose money or anything..."
Sarah laughed. "I guess you're right." Cyborg said, "I know I'm right."
Sarah smiled and ran ahead and started pushing buttons to open the door to the ship.
Cyborg watched Sarah. She wasn't like most girls who always needed jewelry or was a brat. She wasn't the type of girl who was weak or acted like they couldn't do anything without help. She was strong, smart, and sharp. Nothing escaped her. She was unique and special...
Cyborg snapped himself out of it. He didn't have time to think about Sarah. Right now, he had to help Starfire. Who knows what Slade already did to her? He was in control not matter what they did. He could push that trigger and Starfire would be gone forever and this time for real. He hated this. Slade was in control and he knew it. He was pulling the strings here.
"Cyborg, are you going to help me or what? I don't want to get blown up by myself, you know," Sarah called.
Cyborg grinned. "Coming!"
Robin glanced at Cyborg and Sarah, both going inside. He shook his head sadly. He was happy Cyborg had finally got someone instead of feeling awkward with his paired up teammates. But...he just wanted to find Starfire right now.
Robin searched the ship for any bomb. He found nothing. But Sarah found something.
The Titans and her all studied the controls and view screens in the control room. Beast Boy asked, "So what? Everything seems in order here."
Sarah shook her head. "It seems but it isn't. See, you at this cable here," she said pointing to a thin wire that was half hidden. "Slade cut it. That wire is the thing that makes this ship go fast. Now, it's like an ordinary ship meaning..."
Cyborg finished up, "Meaning Starfire's doomed if we don't get a move on."
Sarah nodded. "Let's go."
Robin asked, "But...when will we make it?"
Sarah avoided eye contact. "Maybe...half an hour before sunset."
Beast Boy groaned. Raven asked, "But if this is an ordinary ship, wouldn't it take three to a week to get there?"
Sarah shook her head. "No. See, even though it lost the ability to extremely fast, it's still faster than most ships. It's hard to explain..."
Raven nodded. "Let's spend no more time talking. Time's ticking away and if we don't started moving, Starfire will be dead." Robin nodded. "I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." They watched him leave as if he was moving underwater. He moved slowly and painfully. Sarah said quietly, "He's hurting. He'll be fine when he sees Starfire again." They all nodded and Sarah started up the ship.
