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: No, I don't own Teen Titans, but then again, you knew that, didn't you.

Since your reviews were so demanding, I'm putting up TWO new chapters today. Yay!


Chapter 5 Dangerous Attraction

Starfire stirred, feeling the cold, rock surface beneath her. What happened to her bed? She remembered a figure's shadow, which caused her to scream, a hand had clamped over her mouth, and then there was darkness. Now, as she woke up, there was still extreme darkness. Starfire was sure there was no place in Titans Tower that was this cold, this dark, this unwelcoming. Who had taken her and where was she now?

"Hello? Anyone? I wish to go home, please!" Star sat up and got rid of the darkness by using green light from her hand. The space was small and empty of people, consisting of only the stone bed (could you call it a bed?) she was sitting on, a wooden table, two chairs, a water spigot, and a gigantic mirror. (Ever notice how there are never any bathrooms? It's like in TV people are not allowed to pee. The only time I saw a bathroom in Teen Titans was when Star was changing and trying to get rid of the bump on her head and Beast Boy wanted to get in. Bathrooms are important, people! Yet I digress and will be conformist and leave out the bathroom.) There was a door, but there were five metal bars across it, which make her unable to leave. Star looked at the door sadly and was surprised when the bars slid across and the door opened.

"Ah, Starfire, I see you've awakened," a strange but almost familiar voice stated. Walking into her light's reach, Star saw a boy about her age with short blonde hair and familiar blue eyes. She realized why the voice seemed a bit familiar. He sounded (and looked) like Terra. Could they be related?

"Who are you?" she asked timidly.

"If you're wondering if I'm related to Terra, I am," he confirmed. "How do you think Slade convinced her to betray you? He knew that the only person who could help her control her powers was her long lost twin brother. Only I'm not so lost anymore. Reunited and it feels soooo good." (Cheesy, I know, but I couldn't resist.)

"Um, that is wonderful that you are related and have found each other, but could you tell me where I am? And why I'm here? And maybe take me home, please?" Terra's twin laughed.

"Oh, I don't think that will be happening, sorry, babe." The boy clapped his hands and lights came on (clap on clap clap clap off clap clap). In this light, he saw just how beautiful Slade's hostage was, and was immediately glad that Slade had assigned him to be her watcher. He knew he wouldn't mind at all spending time with this girl, maybe getting to know her, if you know what I mean.

"Babe? I am not a child!" Starfire said, angered. "I am a Teen Titan. Teen! That's short for teenager, in case you didn't know." The boy laughed again.

"I did know, 'babe' is just another word for....someone attractive. Like you." Starfire blushed. Her? Attractive? No, she couldn't be distracted. Although he was very handsome....but nothing like Robin. And he was Terra's twin. Evil.

"What is your name?" she asked curiously.

"Terran," he replied. (I know, not exactly original, but it was better than naming him ROCKY.) "And may I say that I am very pleased to meet your acquaintance." Terran kissed her hand, making her blush even more.

"But...." she stuttered, "I have no acquaintance for you to meet. I was brought her without any of my fellow Titans, and I don't know where I am, or why I'm here, and I want R...." she almost said Robin, but stopped herself. "To go home," she finished. Terran laughed again. (What is this guy's problem?)

"You're cute. Innocent, naive. I like that in a woman." Starfire's whole face was red now, and she wasn't exactly sure if she liked this kind of treatment. Okay, she did like it, but she knew that she would rather have it from Robin.

"I....I do not understand what you are saying," Starfire said. She was caught off guard by his sensitive touch and suggestive words. He made her feel strange, and all she knew was that she didn't want him to leave. She was so caught up in this feeling that she forgot that he was evil. She even forgot where she was. He made her feel like Robin did, only Robin barely ever showed affection. In fact, Robin was so seclusive that Starfire sometimes found herself wondering if they were really best friends after all. After all, what kind of person kicks their best friend out of their room when they only want to help? Star sighed. If Robin barely acted like her friend, then it was doubtful he would ever want to be more.

Terran leaned over, put his lips centimeters away from her lips and whispered, "I'm saying that I want you." Starfire shivered, but was still confused. What Terran was saying was unclear. She had the feeling that he liked her, as in LIKE like, but he was expressing it in a way that was foreign to her, as were many of the ways of earth.

"Want me....to do what?" Terran's chuckle reached her ears instantly as he still hadn't moved away. He was so close....so close....

"No, I want you, for myself." Starfire looked into his deep blue eyes and felt herself getting lost. She was falling, falling, falling, and then there was black.


Ooh, better watch out, Robin, someone's making a move! Reviews are like oxygen, people, so keep them coming!
