Chapter 12 Raven's Fury

Robin hit the ground hard. He and Cyborg were having a tough time fighting against the conjoined power of the twins. Where had Beast Boy and Raven fallen to? He hoped they were alright and would find their way out soon. It had already been too long without them and their power was needed. Robin found himself relieved that Slade had left instead of being angry like before. He could get his revenge later, one-on-one. As Robin dragged himself back up, Cyborg was slammed into him and knocked him back down.

"I don't know how much longer we can handle them, man!" Cyborg yelled. But Robin refused to give up.

"Had enough, Bird Boy?" Terran asked, scoffing.

"I think we're too much for them, bro," Terran agreed. All of a sudden, a green light split the ground between them. The four looked down into the seemingly endless hole, and after everything calmed down, three figures rose up: a green bird, a (fully cloaked) Raven, and a glowing-eyed Starfire.

"Starfire!" both Robin and Terran called out, before glaring at each other with such intensity, both wishing they had Star's laser eyes so they could shoot at each other. Landing on the ground, Starfire and Robin ran towards each other. Robin caught her in a hug and swung her around as she giggled happily. Then, seeing everyone staring, they separated immediately, blushing furiously.

"Joyous news, friends! I have escaped, and Beast Boy and Raven are, as you say, 'going out'!" Robin and Cyborg stared.

"What?" Cy said, confused. "BB and....RAVEN?"

"Am I so easily forgotten and replaced?" the cold voice of Terra rung out, fury obvious in her deep blue eyes.

"Raven replaced no one," Beast Boy said. "As there was no one to replace." Terra's anger caused the ground to shake. Raven stumbled, but Beast Boy grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to him. Cyborg's mouth dropped open.

"Starfire!" Terran said, ignoring his sister's own relationship problems. "Why did you leave? I was coming back to you....." He took a step towards her.

"Dude, don't you come any closer," Beast Boy said, warningly. "We know you did something to her."

"And we know you won't ever touch her again," Raven finished. Robin's head snapped in Terran's direction.

"What did you do?" Robin growled in a scary, menacing tone. Terran smirked, unafraid.

"Friends, stop, please, no," Starfire pleaded. If the conversation went any further, who knew what Terran might reveal....

"I didn't force her, if that's what you're insinuating. In fact, I was quite the gentleman. She let me kiss her. And she kissed me back." Terran was enjoying Robin's anger so much, he decided to push it further. "I gave her more in a day than you have the entire time you've known her. She's mine now. You chose me, didn't you, beautiful?" The Titans were thunderstruck, speechless. Robin felt broken inside, lost in a tumult of feelings. Anger and hurt consumed him. Terran was right. Robin had never shown her the affection she deserved, and so lost her to the sexual assault of the evil twin of the girl who had betrayed them all. And now Terran claimed her as his, and Robin was out of the game before he'd even started playing.

"I am NOT yours." Starfire rose from the ground, eyes glowing fiercely. All this was too much for her. It was all true. What was she supposed to say? That she allowed it because she had needed to feel loved for so long that she just closed her eyes and imagined it was Robin? Terran claimed to love her, but was now making a fool out of her to anger Robin. She paused, anger pushed aside for a second. Finally, something clicked in that innocuous brain of the alien girl we all know and love. Why would Terran's kiss anger the Boy Wonder? Could he possibly feel something for her?

No. It must be her hoping. Of course he would be angered that a fellow Titan would betray him and the rest of the team by giving in to the enemy. It was nothing more than that.

"What's with the change of heart, babe?" Terran asked, amused. "Unable to admit your feelings in front of your little friends? Afraid they won't approve of me? Don't fight it, gorgeous. I kissed you and you responded. The truth is concrete. And I'll be damned if you didn't like it." Starfire lowered herself back to the ground, all the fight gone out of her. All she felt was pain. Tears formed in her eyes. She sank to her knees, clutching her arms to herself.

"FOOL!" a sudden, deep voice rang out. Raven had read Starfire's mind, all of it, and let rage consume her. She may not have shown it, but she considered Starfire her best friend, besides Beast Boy, which was different. She could feel Starfire's pain and it was killing her; tearing her apart. How dare this boy do this to Star. The twins were undoubtedly twins with their power to not only move earth but their ability to rip Titans' hearts out and kill them from the inside out. Raven understood what it was like to have your heart ripped into shreds. With Star, it felt like she was reliving it.

"You tricked her! Discovered her naiveté and exploited it! YOU CONFUSED HER, MANIPULATED HER, USED HER! I just figured out the whole thing from her mind and I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR IT!"

For once in his life, the ever-cool Terran was shaking in fear.
