Chapter Eighteen-Time Flies

After a week passes, no one knows what happened to Starfire. Or does someone know?

A week came and went. The probes were gone, Terra and I were safe, and no word from Slade. Starfire had not come back yet. Raven told me when I walked in and asked where Starfire was that she had gone to her room and that she might have gone for a walk. She would not answer her calls, like her Robin had done to her. I called every spare moment as she had. "Starfire? Starfire, please answer! I don't know why you left or where you are, but please...come back, Star...please..." Of course she never answered. I cried for her. Why had she left?

Whenever I began calling, she never answered. Raven yelled at me for trying, but I kept it up. The weeks piled only to become months which became one year. We had grown older. I was now twenty-one years old, Cyborg was now twenty-three, Raven twenty-two, Terra was twenty and Beast Boy, being the youngest, nineteen. Starfire would have been twenty-one like me, but who knew where she was...who knew...

okay, Robin didn't know this next scene was going on at the time, but I did this for the suspense.

She stood in the one and only light in the room as Slade inspected her. The attire she was required to wear was half black, half copper, and consisted of a black skirt like her old ones, metal plated black boots the same length as her Titan ones, and the utility belt as all of his apprentices had. Starfire looked serious, yet never fought back. She did as she was told for her friends.

Sorrow pedaled through her body. She had to do something. She waited until he was in front of a churning gear, and charged. He quickly voided her attack by dodging to the right, Starfire falling to the gears. Slade grabbed her foot, and threw her to the wall. He then raised his pole over her heart. With one hard thrust, the pole fell.
