A/N: I FINALLY UPDATED! Yay me! lol, I bet all you want is more story. So here it is! ^^
Starfire woke up to the beeping of her transmitter and immediately stopped the cd player. She turned the transmitter on and waited for Robin's happy voice to tell her that he was glad to know that he could still contact her. But his voice wasn't happy at all. Instead, he sounded serious and sad.
"Star, this is the only transmission I'm gonna send you. I love you, and if you've read my note and listened to the cd you'll have found that out. But it's for that reason that I smash this transmitter. You won't understand, but believe me, I love you more than life itself. I would gladly die if it meant you could live in peace. I love you, Starfire. I will never forget you." Starfire gasped and dropped the transmitter. It smashed into millions of little pieces and Starfire burst into tears. Robin probably thought Slade would track her from the electronic transmission waves the transmitters gave out. Starfire looked at the broken pieces of the transmitter and shot a starbolt at them. The tears in her eyes burned her cheeks and when they landed on her lips, they felt like hot, sticky syrup running down her throat. A pilot came to see if she was okay and it appeared as if Starfire had just been going through her suitcases, looking for things from her former home. When the pilot left, however, a hand pressed a button on the wall and the image of Starfire looking through her suitcase blurred, then disappeared. It had just been a hologram. The real Starfire had collapsed next to the button, crying.
"Why? Why us?" Starfire heard a voice, muffled slightly, but still there. It was Beast Boy. Beast Boy? Her Titan communicator! She hadn't gotten rid of it yet, and it hadn't been deactivated! Switching off the communicator so only Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven could hear, Starfire gleefully shouted into it.
"FRIENDS!" Starfire was answered by a long silence, then.
"Starfire? You shouldn't be calling. You shouldn't even have your communicator." Starfire pouted at the seriousness in Beast Boy's voice and tears began to fall from her eyes.
"You are not happy to hear from me?" She whispered into the communicator, choking back her tears. Another silence. Starfire bit her lip and ran her hand through her hair as Robin had done when he was extremely confused or upset. Then, a sigh from the other end brought her back to staring at the communicator in her hand.
"It's not that Star. We just agree with Robin. Since Slade knows how much you mean to him, he might try to come after you. We don't want you hurt. You're our friend." Cyborg's calm, serious voice made Starfire uneasy. How many times had Cyborg been calm and serious at the same time? Starfire bit her lip to keep the tears from pouring down her cheeks again. She had to get home. But she was on the ship to home, wasn't she? No, home was where Robin was.
"I cannot go back to Tamaran. If I do, I will never be able to come back! Please, let me come back!" Starfire nearly screamed into the communicator. A longer pause than ever before, and then.
"Good. Slade'll never be able to get his grimy little hands on you then." Robin's voice cracked and Starfire burst into tears. He loved her, and yet he did not want her home. Was that really loving her?
"I wish to go home. You say you love me-do you really Robin?" Starfire heard Robin's sharp intake of breath and a snicker from Cyborg. Apparently he and Robin were sharing a communicator, because Starfire could hear Robin hit him over the head, HARD.
"Of course I do. And that's why I'm sending you home." Starfire sighed through her tears. Robin didn't get it. None of them did. 'Well, they will.' Starfire thought, holding the communicator tight in her hand.
"My home is not Tamaran. My home is Earth! Where you are Robin, where you all are! Where I am needed and loved! I wish to return home, and if I have to knock out the pilots of this ship and fly it back to Earth on my own, so be it, but I will not return to where I cannot leave!" Starfire said decisively. She could almost hear each Titan's eyes bugging out and then she definitely heard a clatter. Someone had dropped their communicator. The longest pause on the other end of the communicator, and then-
"SLADE! GET OUT OF HERE-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Robin's voice made Starfire's head snap up to look out the windows, in the direction of Earth. The communicator was wrenched from Robin's hands and a thunk was heard as Slade hit Robin over the head to silence him.
"Starfire." The coldness in Slade's voice sent shivers up Starfire's spine, but she pushed them down and glared at the communicator. She would not let Slade have Robin this time.
"Let Robin go, or I'll-" Slade laughed. Starfire let out a small scream of rage as Slade finished laughing.
"You'll what Starfire? You'll turn that ship around and fly it to my lair and beat me single-handedly? I'd like to see you try." Starfire threw the communicator at the floor in her rage and watched with satisfaction as it broke into a thousand little pieces. She turned to the door that led to the pilot's room and charged up a starbolt. Floating to the door, she blasted it open and charged up another starbolt. The pilots turned and their jaws dropped. Starfire was quite a sight, her narrow eyes glowing bright green, starbolts glowing with deadly green light on her hands. She aimed each starbolt at a pilot and took a step forward.
"Turn this ship around or I will kill you and do it myself." Even though the pilots considered themselves more than a match for Starfire, she was the High Royal Princess of Tamaran, and she was not to be trifled with. Without a word, the pilots turned back to the controls and started pressing buttons and pulling levers. Starfire leaned against the doorframe and watched all the commotion, tears glowing green on her eyes.
