Midnight Rain
Chapter 3: Planning and action
By: Raven612

A/N: Alright people stop judging me before the story is even finished, Starfire won't be bad for long she's just under mind control and the reason Raven isn't it because she has a very strong mind and Starfire believe that everyone is good so that why she is the one he picked. God you guys are so mean except for the few that actually support my fic their awesome. Anyhow read on.

Everyone awoke to a dull and gray morning. They all managed to drag themselves out of bed.

"Hey guys I was thinking we should go visit Raven today." Robin announced as they walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah that sounds good." Beast Boy muttered as he pulled some hot chocolate from the cupboard.

"Maybe she could give us some information on Star." Cyborg offered trying to lighten Robin's heart a little.

"Maybe," Robin sighed as he drank the last drink of his coffee.

They ate as quickly as they could and headed for the hospital.

"I wonder how Rae is feeling." Beast Boy muttered as he walked into the hospital.

"I'm sure you can ask her yourself." Robin told him.

"Hi, we're here to see Raven uh...Roth." Cyborg said as he reached the front desk.

"She's in ICU on the second floor in room 214." The nurse smiled.

"Uh, thanks," He muttered motioning to the others.

They stepped into the elevator and pushed the button for the second floor. When the doors opened they all searched for the room numbered 214. They found it on the right side of the hall near the end. They opened the door slowly and found her lying in her bed motionless with many tubes and machines around her.

"Uh, hey Rae," Beast Boy tried to smile as he walked to her bedside. "Do you think she can hear us?" He asked turning to the rest.

"Probably not," Robin answered.

"Hey Rave its Cye, I just want to tell you that you put up a good fight and you made us proud." He said laying one of his large hands on hers.

"Cye you're a pushover." Beast Boy snickered.

"Hey man I'm trying to be supportive." He muttered out of the corner of his mouth.

"Hey Raven its Robin how do you feel?" He asked standing on the opposite side of Beast Boy and Cyborg.

"It's a little painful."

They all looked down with a look of disbelief of their faces.

"You're, you're, you're awake." Beast Boy almost screamed smiling widely.

"Yeah," She muttered opening her eyes and looked around at all of her friends.

"How are ya?" Cyborg asked.

"I'm okay I guess." She tried to smile.

"Um Raven I know this really isn't the best time to ask but is there anything we can do to save Star?" Robin asked.

"I think so, she's just under severe mind control and if we can manage to kidnap her I can find a way to erase it and then she'll be herself again." Raven muttered and felt her heart sink as she noticed the look in Robin's eyes.

"Well we'll worry about getting Star back and you just get better." Robin said patting her hand as he left the room.

"Sorry about him," Beast Boy muttered smiling.

"It's okay I kind of miss the old Star anyhow." Raven sighed as she tried to rise into a sitting position.

"Hey I don't think you should try to move." Cyborg said as he rushed to her side to help her up.

"I can manage; I don't meditate for hour's everyday just to let a little pain bring me down." She said as she rested against her pillows.

"I guess." Cyborg laughed scratching his head and smiling.

"Well we better go." Beast Boy said as Robin came back in to say his good-byes.

"Yeah I'll see you guys later." She called as they left her room.

"Um well I suppose I'll see you later too huh?" Robin muttered feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Yeah you too," She said.

"Bye." He called waving as he shut the door.

"Bye." She whispered.

They headed back to the tower and each of them was feeling a little better about knowing how they could get their Star back.

"Dude, this is a crazy plan." Beast Boy sighed when Robin had finished explaining it to him.

"Yeah, how is it going to work without Raven, we can't hold that dude off while you get Star." Cyborg said.

"We'll worry about that once we get there." Robin muttered.

"Okay, so Beast Boy and I will distract the black one so you can net Star?" Cyborg asked scratching his head.

"Yeah," Robin smiled.

"I suppose that could work, when will we put this plan into action?" Cyborg asked.

"As soon as we can," Robin sighed sitting down on the couch.

"Is now okay?" Beast Boy asked.

"Huh?" Cyborg and Robin muttered turning to him.

"Because she's here dude," He said pointing out the window.

"Titans go!" Robin ordered as he leapt off of the couch.

"Coming," Beast Boy yelled changing to a tiger and running along side Cyborg.

"Hello Roby Poo," Star smiled looking down at him and the others as they reached the roof.

"Are you alone?" He asked.

"Yes, I wanted to come and see my friends." She smiled again her eyes glowing a bright green.

"Good, Cye do your thing." Robin shouted.

"Right, Star I'm sorry for this." He shouted to her and shot his sonic blaster at her, she fired back but was overcome with his, she fell to the ground and Beast Boy, in tiger form, leapt on her and called for Robin to tie her up.

"I almost have it," He struggled to say avoiding her kicking feet.

"Leave me alone." She shouted but once she opened her mouth Robin stuck a gage in it.

"Okay, Cye bring her in." Robin said standing. Beast Boy lifted her feet and Cyborg got the other half.

"Coming," He shouted trying to hold on to her as she squirmed.

They brought her in and sat her on a chair. Robin removed her gage.

"Um now what?" Beast Boy asked.

"We need Raven." Robin sighed.

"She probably won't be out for another few days." Beast Boy sighed sinking into the couch.

"Cye you and Beast Boy stay here and keep an eye on her." Robin said as he walked away.

"Okay," Beast Boy agreed saluting him as he left.

Robin drove to the hospital and found the Raven had been moved from ICU to the regular part. Robin walked to her new room which was now on the first floor.

"Hey," he greeted her as he walked through her door.

"Where are the others?" She asked noticing no one else came with him.

"They're with Star, we um got her already." Robin said blushing slightly.

"Oh, um what do you plan on doing with her?" Raven asked looking at him.

"I don't know we really need you Rave." He sighed sinking to a chair next to her bed. Raven felt her heart skip a beat.

'Does he really need me or his he just saying that?' She asked herself noticing his hand which lay only inches from her own. She reached out and grabbed his. "Robin I think you need to be strong for her." Raven told him.

"I know but it's hard," He sighed looking at his and Raven's hands intertwined.

"That's what love is, it's hard." Raven said.

"I know but I, I, I don't know I'm so confused." He said pulling his hand from hers and leaned back in his chair.

"I have an idea, I'm feeling okay and I hate the hospital. I will come back with you." Raven said.

"I don't know you're still weak and hurt."

"I can do it, they say if you put your mind to it you can do anything." She said trying to smile.

"I guess, but the minute you feel weak or hurt your coming right back." He said as he grabbed her hand and slipped an arm around her waist and helped her to her feet.

"I'm okay I can float." She told him as he let go and she hovered a few feet off of the floor. "I'm going to get my clothes and I'll meet you in the hall." She told him as she entered the bathroom. She came out a minute later ready to go.

"What about the nurses and doctors won't they see you?" He asked noticing she didn't bother to sneak away.

"Who cares," She muttered as she floated in front of him.

He followed her out into the hall. Both nurses and doctors alike started to chase after her, they all tried to tell her that she couldn't leave yet and at the rate she was going she'd be back in ICU even if she fell down the stairs.

"I have something very important to do." She hissed at all of them, they all stepped back from her and just watched her go.

"Jeesh Rave, their probably right." He said resting a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"So," She muttered floating out of the sliding doors and hovered next to the car waiting for him to open the door for her.

They sped out of the parking lot and sped all the way to the T-tower.

"Can you heal her?" Robin asked as they pulled up.

"I'm hoping I can." She said as she stepped out of the car.

"Don't over do it," He warned opening the door for her as she stepped through.

"I can't promise anything." She muttered walking past him and heard the screams and yells of Star trying to break free.

"I know," He sighed leading her to where Star was tied looking furious.

"It might hurt her a little." She said walking over to her.

"I thought you were dead." Star hissed at her.

"It takes a lot more than just a green light to hurt me." Raven smiled.

"Humph," Star muttered as she leaned back in her chair.

"I'm going to help you now Star, you might feel a little pain." Raven said as she raised the tips of her fingers to her temples.

"You can't help me." Star snickered.

"Keep her quiet." Raven ordered squeezing her eyes closed.

"Got it," Beast Boy announced tying a gage around her mouth.

Raven started to massage her temples and build up a strong amount of energy so that she could push through Star's walls. She let it loose and sliced through her weak walls like a hot knife through butter. Once she was inside Star's mind, she looked around for the memories The Black Figure had given her and used to brain wash her with. Raven noticed a few black memories in Star's head and decided that that's what needed to be erased. She used the rest of the energy she saved up to zap them from existence. She then searched for memories of the Titans to replace them with so that she would be the same old her. Raven took one last look as she felt herself growing weak and noticed her feeling of love and it had to her surprise Beast Boy over it.

'That's strange.' Raven thought to herself as she stared transfixed at it. Raven could feel herself sinking to the floor and looked around a little more and found that there were only two more dark memories left. She chose the friendship party and a fourth of July party to replace them with. Raven left Star's mind and fell heavily to the floor.

"Raven are you okay?" Everyone rushed to her side asked her.

"I'm fine, is Starfire okay?" She asked holding her head and edged over the lean against the couch.

"She's okay, she just passed out." Robin explained gently taking the gage from her mouth and untied her.

"Good, it worked then, I don't think he'll use her again." Raven sighed holding her head harder now as it throbbed with pain.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Robin asked taking her hand and pulling her to her feet.

"I think so," She muttered leaning against him and let him slide a hand around her waist.

"I'll help you to your room." He said leading her up the stairs.

"Thanks," she muttered as he laid her down gently. "Robin?" She asked looking over at him.

"What is it Rae?" He asked turning to her.

"Do you love Star?"

"Um, I guess I do." He said turning a bright scarlet.

"Then I think that it's only fair that you know she doesn't love you the way that you love her." She said watching his face for any emotion.

"I know she doesn't she told me a few nights ago." He sighed walking back over to Raven's bed.

"Oh," Was all Raven could think to say as she looked away from his face.

"It's okay though I've moved on and found another one." He smiled touching her shoulder gently as she tried to push herself up into a sitting position.

"Well that's good, could I be alone for a few hours to meditate and get some sleep?" She asked forcing a smile at him.

"Um sure, I'll be back soon." He said as he walked out of her room and downstairs to find Star awake and talking with Beast Boy and Cyborg about what had gone on.

"Robin, do you know about what they say?" She asked him in disbelief as he walked past her.

"It's all true Star." He said sadly.

"Oh no, how is Raven?" She asked eagerly.

"She's in her room resting right now." Robin answered as he walked to the kitchen with Star floating behind him watching his every move.

"I shall bring her a traditional Thanagarian get well pie." Star announced poking a finger in the air.

"I think she just needs some rest right now." Robin told her turning on the coffee pot.

"I shall see her after she rests then?" Star asked.

"Yeah I'm sure she'd like that." Robin smiled watching the coffee drip into the pot.

"Okay," Star said lowering her hand slowly and floated over to Beast Boy and Cyborg and watched as they played their game.

'It's amazing how things go immediately back to normal as soon as a fight is over.' He thought and smiled as he watched Beast Boy fighting with Cyborg and Star floating near them trying to break them up.

A/N: Jeesh you guys that were mean in you're reviews you actually thought I'd make Starfire a bad nasty person, no I was only gonna make her love someone other than robin and the whole selling out the Titans well that's done now kinda, well her part in it they still get into some trouble with the black figure, well stick around for more.
