Starfire grabbed every cleaning supply in the house and sat it down on the counter. The rest of the team had been called out on another mission, so to bide the time, she decided to clean. She heard Raven squealed and ran into Beast Boy's room where Raven was

"What is it?"

"I think I saw a spider. And it was big. Really big." Starfire smiled and rolled her eyes. Since the fight yesterday, her anger had slowly drained away against Raven. She understood what Raven was going through, but her own problems made Starfire lash out.

She was still made about being called a slut, but other than that, she was over her resentment.

Raven glanced at Starfire. "Do we have a shovel anywhere?"

"Why would you need a shovel?"

"Because, how else am I supposed to pick up Beast Boy's dirty clothes?" Starfire rolled her eyes and went in search for a shovel.

================================================================
Cyborg blasted open the door to the warehouse, ready to take on anything. Robin ran in, already in his fighting stance. But to their surprise, all they found were three teenage boy's holding spray cans. The tallest member, who was probably about 16, dropped the can and hit his knees.

"Please, don't hurt us! All we did was write confetti on the walls! We're sorry!" The other two were almost in tears.

Robin stood up straight, confused. "But, I though this place was under attack?"

The one with blonde hair shook his head. "No, we are the only one's here. At least we didn't hear or see anyone else."

"Okay, so we were called on a wild goose chase. But why?" Beast Boy asked, rubbing his head in confusion.

Robin shrugged, then it hit him and the rest of the team. "Starfire and Raven."
================================================================
Starfire found the shovel in the basement and grabbed it. She started to head up stairs when she heard something behind her. She turned. "Who's there?" Silence.

Thinking it was her imagination playing tricks on her, she started for the stairs again. Her shoes clicked on the cement floor, but it seemed as of the sound was doubled. She stopped suddenly, but the sound of footsteps didn't

Swallowing hard, she turned around, only to be hit hard across the face. She hit the ground on her bad shoulder and her jaw was pounding. Before she could look up, some one grabbed her collar and threw her across the room. She hit the wall hard and slowly slid down it, her head spinning.

She looked up to see a shadow looming over her and thought fast. Since the shovel was still in her hand, she swung with all her might and connected with the shadows face. He reeled back in shock, giving her enough time to run. She made it halfway up the stair when something grabbed her ankle. She fell on her stomach hard and she felt the cut in her ribs open. She glanced at the door. She was so close.

Apollo growled, pulling on the girls' ankle with all his might. Starfire used her other foot to kick the man's face and when he howled in pain and let her foot go, she ran up the stairs, shutting the door as hard as she could.

She didn't stop running until she made it to the living room. She heard the metal door slam open and panicked. She ran into the kitchen and opened the silverware drawer, taking out a long, sharp knife.

She turned around and waited. Come on Starfire, you've fought villains before. Just because you have no powers and are weak and vulnerable, doesn't mean you still can't kick his butt.

She slowly walked out of the kitchen, knife gripped in her good hand and slowly headed for Beast Boy's room. She had to warn Raven. She made it hallway to the when she was tackled, the knife sliding out of her grip.

Apollo slammed her hands above her head and grinned. "There is no why you're getting away from me." Apollo took the time to study her from head to toe. Starfire practically gagged. She might not be from earth but she knew that look. It was a look of pure lust. For a split second anger overtook her fear and she fought him. She rammed her knee in between his legs as hard as she could and pushed him off, grabbing the knife.

She jumped up; cringing slightly at the pain in her ribs and ran in to Beast Boy's room. When she made it inside, she searched franticly for Raven. She found her making the bed.

Grabbing her, Starfire quickly explained what was happening. When she was finished, Raven was already searching for something to defend herself with.

"We have to leave." Starfire said, glancing at the door.

"Starfire, we can't go anywhere. We have to stay here and defend ourselves. No matter what." Starfire reluctantly agreed.

When the man pounded on the door, they watched in horror as it was removed cleanly from the screws. He walked in slowly, a grin on his face. "Why, hello Raven. It is nice to see you again."

Raven and Starfire moved back as he walked forward. "I don't even know who you are. How can you know me?" He grinned. "Because, I've been watching you." He dived for them and they both jumped to the side and ran out of the room. Apollo growled loudly, his eyes glowing red.

They ran into the weight room and groaned. They were trapped. They turned to the doorway, and their Apollo stood, his bulk blocking the door. He walked in and without touching the door it slammed and locked.

Raven grabbed the closest thing to her, which happened to be a 20- pound weight and picked it up. It was heavy but she managed to throw it. It hit Apollo's foot and he started to hop around, currsing them. Raven and Starfire ran passed him, but unfortunately, he grabbed Raven's waist and threw her like she weight nothing into the dun bells. They collpased on top of her.

Starfire glanced back at Raven, then ran to the door, trying to open it, but when she touched it, electricity ran up her arm and made her snap it back fast. Apollo laughed. He made his way to the unconscious Raven.

I've got to save her. Starfire glanced around, and spotted a huge weight. She picked it up, but without her inhuman strength, it was painful, but she hauled it up anyway. She started to ram it into the door and, ignoring the pain that shot up her arm, managed to knock the door down.

Apollo watched her, astonishment, hate, and fear flashing in his eyes.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size, and not someone who can't defend herself?" She took of running, Apollo hot on her heels. She ran into the main room, but was grabbed from behind and slammed against the wall hard.

Apollo placed his body over hers so she couldn't move and plucked the knife from her fingers. He held the knife to her throat, watching her eyes. There was no hint of fear. The only emotion was pure hate and anger.

"My, my, you are Starlight's reincarnation." He pressed the knife down harder, a steady trickle of blood running down her collarbone and staining her shirt. Starfire glared, ignoring the strong smell of her own blood. "You are weak." Said Starfire, her anger rising.

He growled, and slowly slid the knife across her neck, breaking the skin. He pulled it back and grinned, watching the blood flow.

Starfire took her chance and kneed him again. He grunted, but never moved off her. Suddenly, Starfire felt pure fury. Her body felt like it was on fire, and her eyes and hands burned. Her eyes glowed green and Apollo stumbled back. What? This can't be! She has no powers! Starfire grinned, her eyes and hands glowing green. Her hand shot out and grabbed his neck, lifting him of the ground.

He couldn't breath, so he did what he did best. He brought his feet back and kicked her as hard as he could in the stomach, making her fly back and drop him. She hit the wall, her body making an indention. Apollo reached for the knife and started to thrust it at her.

She dodged many of them, but every now and then one swipe would break the skin. He was starting to get tired, so he planned to finish her off. She leaned back against the wall, panting heavily and he took his chance. He threw it, aiming for her chest.
