Disclaimer: Okay, everyone. You know the drill. I don't own Teen Titans,
because if I did, I'd get Robin and Raven together. So don't sue me!
Chapter 4: The Only Solution
"Ahh! What are you doing? Please, release me!" Starfire's protests, however, fell on uncaring ears.
"Shut up, you noisy bitch!" he hissed. "You're only making this worse for yourself!" Slade had wired Star, and was now beginning his dark procedure.
"But what do you wish to do to me?" she asked with a whimper, and caused Slade to sigh with exasperation.
"Isn't it obvious, stupid girl? I am simply going to drain you of your energy...yes, my faithful servants have been watching the Titans fore sometime now. Your powers have proved to be...most deadly," he said with a diabolical grin on his face. And there was little Starfire could do. She was tied onto the table with sensitive wires, and if she struggled, she would receive a five second 1000-volt shock.
"No, please, do not do this!"
"I thought I told you to shut it!" Slade moved his hand toward the switch. He knew by manipulating her vast alien energy, he could easily wipe out the rest of the Titans. But a loud smashing noise behind him caused Slade to jump and seethe angrily; the procedure had been interrupted.
"Not so fast, Slade! You want her, you'll have to go through us first!" Cyborg yelled the cliché phrase, and Beast Boy followed him from behind.
"Ahh...I thought you fools might show up. Well, make one false move, and your friend will be burned to a crisp by this powerful voltage." But they had fooled him. As his hand move threateningly toward the switch, a sharp disk hit his fingers causing him to pull them back in pain. Overhead, The Boy Wonder stood on the catwalk. Starfire literally yelled with joy at the site of her friends. Taking advantage of Slade's momentary shocked state, he leapt down and landed a flying kick in Slade's face, causing him to stumble backwards. And now the three Titans started closing in on him, preventing him from getting to the switch or Starfire. Slade's options were scarce; he was outnumbered three to one, and was going to be cornered against the wall, and he had no weapons. Now a truly fearful look crossed his face when he looked up at the Titans; they had no intention of apprehending him; murder was in their eyes. Now Cyborg moved in on him and suspended him in midair simply by holding him by his neck. He tried to kick and squirm his way out of the large metal arm, but the grip only became tighter.
"We've had enough of you, Slade. You given us enough trouble in the past, but this...this is the final straw. This is our only way out, our only...true solution." And with one quick backward thrust, Slade's neck snapped. He was dead on the spot.
Starfire was shocked. The three Titans were showing no signs of remorse. All that was said was, "We came to rescue Star, we got in a fight, and we killed him. That's the story."
Beast Boy kicked the limp body. "Bastard deserved what he got." Robin walked over to the controls and disabled them, then freed Starfire.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, friend Robin, I am fine. But you...kil— Robin cut her short.
"It's okay, Star. If we hadn't done it, he would've just given us more trouble. He deserved this. He's been asking for it for a long time." With a solemn expression on his face, he told everyone it was time to go.
"You...killed him?" Raven, who had now been moved out of the ICU, could not help expressing a little shock in the question.
Robin nodded gravely. "It was the only real way to take care of our problems. Sure, we'll get more trouble from the remaining members of HIVE, but Slade was the real threat. Now...he's gone."
Raven could hardly believe the boy she had kissed the night before was capable of doing something like this. But as she thought about it more, the more acceptable it became. Slade had, after all, caused them an endless amount of trouble in the past and had on several occasions nearly killed one of the Titans. Now, their life would be much easier.
"But...enough about that. How are you feeling, Raven? Do you think you'll be coming home anytime soon?" Robin was trying to steer the conversation away from what had just happened.
Raven nodded at them. "Yeah, the doctor said I was fine. I'll be able to leave tomorrow."
"Oh, this is wonderful news!" Starfire clasped her hands together and grinned broadly. "I must go get my Pudding of Joy from our vehicle. It should have attained the perfect temperature by now!" She rushed out of the room and sped down the hall like a bullet. The other Titans stared worriedly after her. They all knew about Starfire's recipes. They also knew that most of them were none too pleasant.
"Don't worry, Rae," Cyborg said, smiling at her. "BB and I'll go try out this stuff for you. We don't want you getting sick again. Besides, we're experts." With that, Beast Boy and Cybrog rushed out of the room after her, leaving Robin and Raven alone in the room.
"So...they left," Raven said, grinning.
"Yeah...they did," Robin responded her. Raven wasted no time in pulling Robin on top of her and exchanging a kiss of the French variety. Their tongues explored the insides of each other's mouths. Not a spot was left untouched. Raven started to moan softly. It was at that moment, however, that Starfire chose to burst into the room.
"Friend Raven, the pudding is— Starfire froze as she took in the scene before her. Robin was on top of Raven, and they were kissing. The bowl of pudding dropped to the ground and shattered. Tears now streaming down her face, Starfire ran out of the room and down the hall, now audibly sobbing.
