Story Title: Heart's Desire

Author: Blair Lebeau, SocialButterfli

Summary: When Slade taps into Robin's dreams and figures out Robin's one weakness, Starfire, Slade kidnaps her and holds her hostage in hopes of blackmailing Robin and eventually tearing the Teen Titans apart. Will Robin succumb to Slade's wishes, or will the remaining Titans band together in an ultimate battle of good and evil to rescue Star? Occasional fluff scenes because we love them. Rob/Star, BB/Rae, Cy and...his car.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, if I did, there would be a third girl Titan (but not Terra because she's a traitor and BB belongs with Raven) for Cyborg so he wouldn't be so freakishly in love with his car.

Chapter 3 Your Worst Nightmare

That night, Robin's sleep seemed peaceful, as Slade was nowhere in sight and there was nothing but a starry night sky with Starfire giggling and flying around, skywriting like a plane "Starfire and Robin 4Ever" in clouds. She landed on the roof of the T, where Robin was waiting, and she fell into his embrace, looking up at him happily.

"Starfire, I love you," he whispered, leaning in for a kiss. Their lips were inches apart, then centimeters, then....

"Hello, Robin," a familiar yet oh-so sinister voice said. Starfire was gone, Robin was holding only air, and the starry night had turned into complete darkness with a spotlight on him and another empty spotlight, which Slade stepped into. Robin growled, not sure which made him more angry, Slade's appearance, or the fact that he had never gotten to kiss Star and it was only a dream.

"Slade," Robin growled. "Get out."

"Quite the welcoming statement," Slade said, amused. Robin felt something that was a bit like fear, but not quite. This seemed more real than any other dream he had had before, with Slade or without. In fact, he wasn't altogether sure that it WASN'T real.

"It was NOT welcoming because you aren't welcome here."

"I don't think you have a choice in the matter, Robin," Slade's calm and amused voice continued. This was what infuriated Robin the most. The way this evil man could sound so....so....soothing. Was that the word?

"What do you mean?" Robin asked, uncertain of himself and what was happening.

"Robin, I know you think these dreams you've been having are just figments of your imagination. But don't be so foolish. Did you think I'd let you leave my apprenticeship so easily? Come now, I thought you understood me better than that. Now I think it's time to let you know what I've done. When you first became my apprentice, I put a chip into your head while you slept that enabled me to have some access to your mind. I was able to access the part of your brain that controls dreams, and wa able to insert myself into your dreams. I had done this originally to make you dream about how wonderful being my apprentice could be, to help you ease into it and forget your friends more easily and quickly, but then, when you left, I could haunt you. And it went quite well, I lost control sooner each time I gave you a nightmare, which meant you were waking up earlier. But as I was preparing to make another dream for tonight, you started dreaming of your own account, and I viewed the dream. It has given me the key for my next plan of action. As you very well know, the dream was of a certain alien friend of yours, who it seems you wish would be more than a friend...."

"Starfire...." Robin moaned aloud in his sleep.

"Yes, Starfire," Slade confirmed, smirking sadistically. "Before I endangered the lives of all your friends in order to control you, but now....now I have a new one of controlling you. I'm sure even you agree that this is a brilliant step on my behalf. Kidnap the girl of your thoughts and hold her until she has served my purposes. Is there anything you wouldn't do for her, Robin? We'll see how far your loyalty will go. I believe it's time for the rest of the Titans to learn your heart's desire. Tonight's the night, Robin. I thought you might want an explanation when you wake up and discover your little Starfire gone."

Robin awoke in a cold sweat to a shrill shriek that came from a voice he knew all too well.

So I managed to get one more chapter up before I leave, remember I come back on the 28th, hope to see many reviews then!

Sneak Peak: Robin confesses his love of Starfire to the other Titans (yeah, as if they didn't know) and the remaining crime fighters begin to think of ways to rescue Starfire.
