DISCLAIMER: Don't own the Titans…sad, but true!

Chapter 7

Perfection

The week had been calm for the Titans, they had been so bored that they decided to go downtown and watch a movie. Since the movie had ended earlier than they expected they went to cruise around the city in the T-car. Cyborg was making sure nothing got near his car, driving like an old man. Raven was also kind of concerned about the car; given that she had helped Cyborg rebuilt it. BB was waving at girls thru the window, needless to say, Raven was not happy about it. The lights and the other teens in their cars that were also "cruising" around the city amazed Starfire. They decided to stop and walk around the stores. Cyborg stayed with his car, fearing it will get stolen again. BB joined Raven and they both went to Raven's favorite depressing café. Robin and Starfire went into a candy store.

BB and Raven got inside the café and sat in one of the tables. The café did not have much light inside it; however, it was not complete dark. BB looked around and saw people that were wearing dark clothes and did not talk much.

-'They all look like Raven'-BB thought

A waiter walked towards them and Raven blushed when he saw him. BB saw Raven's reaction and stared at her, wondering why she was blushing.

-'She never blushes when I look at her'-BB thought

The waiter asked Raven if she wanted her herbal tea, knowing what she always ordered. Raven said yes and then the waiter asked BB what he wanted. BB gave an ugly glance at the waiter and asked for lemonade. The waiter wrote everything down and before turning around he looked at Raven. BB again saw the looks Raven and the waiter were exchanging and cross his arms in disapproval. Raven saw BB's reaction and smiled.

-'That will teach you not to wave at girls when I am near'-Raven thought

-"So, Raven. Who's your friend?"-BB asked pointing at the waiter with his thumb

-"Oh! Just someone that I met here a long time ago. Every time I come he's here, so he kinda knows what I like"-Raven answered

-"Sure. So, what do you do here?"-BB asked

-"I read poems and share them with people that are interested in listening to them"-Raven answered

-"Oh! I can help you! Read a poem and I'll talk about it!"-BB said

-"I don't think you will find them interesting"-Raven said

-"Dude! I can be interesting…once you get to know me"-BB said winking at Raven

-"Ok. Just remember that I warned you"-Raven said

Raven began to read a really depressing poem to BB who was amazed of the sad words that he was listening to. BB was getting bored after a while and wanted to close his eyes and just fall asleep so he would not have to listen to the poem anymore but he forced himself to stay up and show interest. He did not want that guy (the waiter) to take his place and flirt with Raven. Cyborg was getting bored of waiting for the other Titans who were surely having fun, but he did not want to leave his car for a second. He began thinking about what he could do during the time he was waiting for them and an idea popped in his head. He smiled and walked to the trunk and opened it, and got a bucket and a rag out of it. He got water from a water hydrant that was near him and started washing his car.

-"I'm gonna wash my baby!"-Cyborg said and turned the music on

On the other side of the street there was a candy store and Robin and Starfire had gone inside it. Starfire was bewildered with all the candies that were sold there and since the store had opened that same day, they were given out free candy so you could taste them and buy some if you liked them. Starfire was trying all the candies and then saw some that looked weird to her. These candies were of different colors and were shaped as a little bears. Starfire doubted about trying those, but they certainly looked delicious.

-"Robin, are all of these candies edible?"-Starfire asked

-"Yes, Star. Do you want me to get some for you?"-Robin asked

-"I do not know, Robin. May I try them before you get me some?"-Starfire asked

-"Sure, Star"-Robin answered

Starfire took a handful of gummy bears and put all of them inside her mouth. She could barely close her mouth and some of the candies flew right out of her mouth, some were complete, some were half-chewed. Robin looked at her with a questioning face and then laughed when Starfire ate them all together. Starfire licked her fingers and then burped. She clasped her hands together and smiled in an approving way and Robin understood she had liked them very much.

-"So, Star, you liked the candies? Want me to buy you some?"-Robin asked

-"That will be glorious, friend Robin!"-Starfire said while jumping up and down.

Robin went to the front cashier and asked to get some candy. While Starfire was watching the rest of the candies, a boy came in running and went straight to Starfire.

-"You, you are Starfire, Right? My sister, she needs help…Please help her!"-The boy said

-"What is wrong with your sister, little boy? It does not matter; let me get help from my friends"-Starfire said

-"NO! There is no time…we must go NOW!"-The boy said

The boy grabbed Starfire hand and rapidly went outside the candy store taking Starfire with him. Starfire looked at Robin before they were complete out of the store and followed the boy to a dark alley. Back at the candy store the female cashier was flirting with Robin.

-"So, I heard you are strong…how strong are you?"-The cashier asked while trying to touch Robin's arm

-"Oh! I'm not that strong, I just train a lot"-Robin answered evading the cashier's hand

-"Are you dating someone, you are cute…I bet you have many girls following you"-The cashier said

-"Actually no. But I am not interested in a relationship now"-Robin said

-"I bet you are not interested because you have not found the right girl"-The cashier said while winking at Robin

Robin looked at the cashier and then at the candies, the candies Starfire wanted. Starfire! Is she watching him? He did not want her to believe he was flirting with the cashier, since it was the other way around. He knew not to get Starfire jealous; he had seen what Starfire does when she gets jealous, remembering what she did to Kitten's limousine.

-"I better get going. My friend really wants these candies"-Robin said

-"The green-eyed girl? She left a while ago, with a boy"-The cashier said

-'WHAT? Starfire and a boy?'-Robin thought

Robin was about to think that Starfire had seen him when the girl wanted to touch his arm and had gotten mad and had ran away with the first guy she saw. However, Starfire would not do that, Right? She is no that type of girl, Right? What if the guy took advantage of her and offered her some candy to lure her away from him?

-'What the hell am I thinking?'-Robin thought

Robin grabbed the candies and looked at the cashier who was still looking at him with flirting eyes.

-'Here I am getting her candies and she runs away with a stranger'-Robin thought

Robin felt sad and paid for the candies. He started to slowly walk outside the candy store with his head down when he heard a scream. He recognized the scream; it was Starfire.

-"Starfire!"-Robin yelled as he was looking for her outside

-"There are so many people…where is she?"-Robin whispered

Robin got his communicator out, contacted the other Titans and told them about Starfire. Raven woke up BB who fell asleep after the second verse of the poem and walked outside the café. Cyborg put the bucket and the rag inside the trunk, got inside the T-car and began driving around. The Titans started to look for Starfire in every store. Robin thought that maybe the cashier was lying and she had just gotten lost and someone had attacked her. BB turned into an eagle and looked for her from the sky. Raven and Robin were asking people if they had seen her and Cyborg was driving around asking the other people in the cars for Starfire.

-"Man, are you sure that Starfire was screaming?"-Cyborg asked

-"Positive! She was with me in the candy store and then she disappeared and then I heard her scream"-Robin answered

-"Maybe she just found someone else to talk to?"-Raven teased Robin

-"No! She must be in trouble!"-Robin said, trying to convince himself more than the others

BB flew down next to Raven and resumed human form.

-"I agree with Raven. Maybe someone else showed her something new and she is just wandering around with him"-BB said

-'Does it have to be a guy?'-Robin thought

-"I don't think so. Keep searching"-Robin said

Robin started walking again and the other Titans made faces at him.

-"Why is he so upset? He knows Starfire can take care of herself and if she was in any trouble she can just call us! Man!"-BB said

-"Ya'll know why Robin is so paranoid about Star. Let's just help him find her and he'll be ok"-Cyborg said

Robin was still looking for her, thinking about what she could be doing that had here so interested and not even bothered to tell him that she was leaving. The rest of the Titans followed Robin and they stopped at the end of the street. They had already looked for her in every store and had asked everybody and nobody had seen her. Robin was getting angrier every second and when he was about to call the search off they saw green starbolts coming from an alley. Starfire was running away from someone and that someone threw a purple starbolt at her and hit her. The person was Blackfire.

-"Is that Blackfire?"-BB asked asking while his eyes got wide in confusion

-"Yes! It seems the Centaury Police could not hold her for long"-Raven said

-"I don't care! We need to help Starfire…Titans…GO!"-Robin said

Robin ran to where Starfire was and checked if she was ok. Starfire was a little dizzy with all the running around and welcomed Robin's concern. The other Titans went straight to attack Blackfire. Raven used her magic and lifted trashcans that were in the alley and threw them at Blackfire. She dodged some of them and blasted the others with her eye-rays. BB transformed into a bear and grabbed Blackfire by her ankle and pulled her down to the floor. Blackfire threw starbolts at him but Raven used her magic to make a barrier to protect BB. Cyborg came from behind and held Blackfire to prevent her from flying or using her starbolts. He could not hold her for long as Blackfire used her rage to blow Cyborg back and flew to where Starfire was.

-"I told you I would come back, little sister! It's payback time!"-Blackfire said

Blackfire approached Starfire and Robin got in her way. He had left Starfire on the floor and stood in front of her with a pair of birdarangs in one hand and his bo staff on the other.

-"You look more handsome when you are mad. Why pick her when you can have me?"-Blackfire asked

-"You won't think that when I am finished with you!"-Robin answered

Robin jumped towards Blackfire and threw his birdarangs at her. She blew them with her rays and Robin used his bo staff to reflect Blackfire's eye-rays. She was about to kick Robin when BB started to pull her hair (transformed into a bird) but she grabbed BB and threw him into the floor. BB turned back into a human and stood up rubbing his head.

-"Never doing that again!"-BB said

Raven used her magic and threw Blackfire to a wall. Blackfire shook her head and broke Raven's magic and punched her on the stomach. Blackfire flew to Starfire and started to kick and punch her furiously. Starfire tried to protect herself by evading instead of attacking but Blackfire's attacks were faster.

-"Starfire!"-Robin yelled and jumped behind Blackfire to kick her

Blackfire saw him and apparently got distracted. Starfire used this distraction to give her a punch but she moved and Starfire hit Robin instead. Robin fell on the floor and Starfire ran to him.

-"I am so sorry, Robin! Please forgive me"-Starfire begged

-"You…are…really…strong"-Robin said

-"She hit you! And you still want to be with her?"-Blackfire asked

Blackfire flew towards Starfire and Robin. Now it was Starfire's turn to protect Robin and she got up even though she was not feeling well. She got into fighting mode and saw when Blackfire was hit by something and fell on the floor.

-"Boo-yah!"-Cyborg yelled

Cyborg had used his cannon against Blackfire who was getting up. She was very angry and her eyes turned purple with madness. Her fists turned purple and her hair was floating.

-"Oh-oh!"-Cyborg said

Cyborg recharged his cannon and pointed at a very angry Blackfire who rampaged towards him and in a blink of an eye used her bolts and destroyed his cannon. Blackfire threw another big starbolt towards Cyborg that made him retreat. The Titans were fighting Blackfire with everything they had, even Robin who had been beaten up by Starfire, again. Things did not seem good for them. Blackfire was attacking like crazy and had them all on the floor. She had spotted Starfire and flew after her. Starfire had no one to protect her or even had the capacity of protecting herself and when Blackfire was extremely close to Starfire something hit her bad. She screamed and immediately fell on the ground, unconscious.

-"Where did that come from?"-BB asked

-"I don't know, at least it knocked her out!"-Cyborg said

The Titans gathered around Blackfire, she had blacked out.

Robin stood up and walked to Starfire. He looked hurt not only by the accidental hit she had gave him but because of her disappearance.

-"Star, why did you leave the store without telling me?"-Robin asked in a voice that sounded both upset and concerned

-"I apologize, Robin. A little boy came inside the store and asked me for help with his sister. He said there was no time for me to tell you. When I got to the alley the little boy disappeared and then Blackfire came out of nowhere. I could not call you because when I was about to do it, Blackfire destroyed my communicator"-Starfire said showing Robin her broken device

-"It 's not your fault, Star. You didn't know Blackfire had set up a trap for you"-Robin said

-'So, it wasn't a boy but a little boy'-Robin though, feeling relieved.

The Centaury Police came by to where Blackfire was and took her away for the second time. The Titans decided to go back home. Robin, Raven, Starfire and BB got in their rooms and Cyborg went directly to the repair room to gather what he needed to reconstruct his cannon. He then walked back to his room and saw Robin outside his door.

-"Need help with that, Cyborg?"-Robin asked

-"No, I've got it!"-Cyborg answered

-"You sure?"-Robin asked

Cyborg saw his destroyed arm and then saw his other arm.

-'Why do they always have to destroy my right arm. I'm not left handed!'-Cyborg thought

-"Mmhhh…I guess I could use some help"-Cyborg said

Robin and Cyborg got inside Cyborg's room and started to repair his arm and his cannon. While doing the reparation, Robin suggested some changes that could be made to the cannon. Cyborg nodded and they started to improve his cannon, they decided that instead of having two cannons –one in each hand, he should have just one cannon but with more capacity and attack range. By the time they finished with the job, the cannon had been perfected.

NOTE: Hi guys! I have 8 chapters to go …Keep in touch!

(a/n: Cyborg does have one in each hand because I have seen some episodes where he uses his left arm instead of his right arm)
