Sorry for the long wait, I don't know what came over me. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 12
Cyborg occasionally glanced over at Starfire every now and again. Starfire remained silent as she watched the people crossing the road in front of them.
"So you wanna tell me why you out here at this time of night?" he asked breaking the awkward silence between them. Starfire simply looked at him sadly before he returned to looking out if her window.
"Ok don't tell me then" said Cyborg as he pretended to be upset and looked away from her.
"You will just think I am not sane, please do not think I am crazy" replied Starfire sadly as she looked at him again and placed her hand gently on top of his.
"Star I could never think you where crazy" smiled Cyborg as he looked at her, his eyes where filled with the love he had for her.
"I went to see him" said Starfire quietly and sorrowfully as she looked at Cyborg, "I went see if it was really him"
"Who…..oh him" smiled Cyborg as the light turned green again and he drove on, "I take it he talked with you as well?"
"Yes but I am sad because of it" answered Starfire as she looked out the passenger window and watched the street lights zoom past.
"Why are you sad?" asked Cyborg as he quickly glanced over to her before returning his eyes to the road.
"I am sad because he can no longer be my friend" Starfire said quietly as she felt her tears well up in her eyes, "Because I am still one of the living" she aid as she looked at Cyborg, her tears now streamed from her eyes. Cyborg stopped the car and grabbed Starfire in a tight loving embrace and held her face close to his chest.
"It's ok Star, it's ok" said Cyborg quietly as he stroked her head with his hand. Starfire eventually pulled away from him and wiped away her tears.
"Is it wrong for me to want to be dead s I can be with him?" asked Starfire as she looked at Cyborg.
"You should think that way Star" replied Cyborg, his voice was now serious, "Besides I'm sure Robin still loves you in his own way" he said as he restarted the car and waited for a break in the traffic.
"thank you" smiled Starfire as she leant closer to Cyborg and gently kissed him on the cheek. Cyborg couldn't help but blush as he rubbed his cheek gently.
"Ok lets get you home" he said with a smile as he pulled away from the curb and drove down the long street.

Sparky paced up and down Slade's personal chamber nervously as he tried to explain what had happened to Wraith, but he was speaking so fast his words seemed to meld together into one big one.
"Maybe we should just video tape this and watch it again in slow motion" smiled Slade as he sighed and continued to watch Sparky pace about.
"I checked out the grave" said Seraph as he looked down at Slade making Sparky stop pacing and look at them worryingly.
"Grave? What grave?" he asked as he walked towards Slade but was pushed fiercely to the ground by Seraph.
"And?" asked Slade as he looked up and Seraph, his cold eyes demanded an answer.
"Empty just like you said it would be" replied Seraph almost casually, "He's making his ay back to this speed freak here" he said as he cast a cold stare to Sparky as he picked himself off the floor.
"This ghost is gonna kill my as next" said Sparky sadly and quickly as he threw himself at Slade but was caught by Seraph. Slade stood up and smile coldly as he punched Sparky, making some blood trickle from his mouth.
"This ghost is gonna kill my ass next" said Sparky again t more quietly as his tears ran from his eyes.
"Probably" smiled Slade as he prepared to hit him again before he was interrupted by Jinx coughing.
"They're here" said Jinx simply making lade smile sinisterly as he walked towards her.
"Thank you my dear" he purred as he kissed her cheek, making Jinx close her eyes and wince as she felt his lips touch her skin. Slade broke the kiss and smiled as he walked away from her closely followed by Seraph and the still dazed Sparky. Jinx waited until she was sure they where gone before she fell to her knees and slowly began to cry.
"Why did you die Wraith?" she asked herself as her tears streamed from her eyes.
"Jinx come along" came Slade's cold voice making her stand back up and wipe away her tears as best she could.
"I'm coming" she coughed as she stood back up and followed after her master.

Robin walked along a roof top and occasionally looked down at the people below him. He felt a strange sadness in his heart as he looked at them, he knew he could never e like them again, he knew that he could never get back the thing that was taken from him. He quickly shook the feeling away as he knelt down on the edge of the roof top and looked over at the Tower.
"I'm coming Raven" he said almost happily as he stood back up and wiped away the tear that that formed in one of his eyes. He suddenly dropped over the side and landed on in the alleyway below him.
"Find him" was all he said as he looked over at the nearest dust bin and saw his crow. The crow nodded and squawked in reply before it took off into the night's sky.

Slade entered the room and smiled as he saw the people sitting at the huge table. The room was filled with gangsters and nearly every low life that lived in jump city, each of them where talking happily with each other an showing off their latest gun or piece of jewellery.
"Well gentlemen as you know devil's night is upon of once again" he said as he pulled out his ornate chair and slowly sat down on it, motioning for Seraph to make Sparky sit in the chair beside him. making everyone in the room look up from what they where doing and smile at him.
"Now unfortunately our good friend Wraith can't be here with us tonight due to slight case of death" he smiled making everyone at the table laugh loudly. Jinx fought against her tears as she heard Wraith's name and clenched her fist tight against her side.
"Ok time to get serious boys think we should try something different this year" said Slade as his voice changed from being almost merry sounding to, being once again cold and emotionless.
"You don't want us to make the city burn boss man?" asked a thug with a hood over his head, hiding most of his face in it's shadow.
"Ni I want you to start a fire so fucking big that the gods will notice us again!" smiled Slade as he stood up and looked at everyone at the table, "I want to be able to look at all again and be able to ask ARE WE HAVING A GOOD TIME OR WHAT?!" he yelled as he kicked his chair away, making everyone at the table cheer uncontrollably.
"You do you feel that?" demanded Slade as he slammed his fists back onto the table and looked at Sparky.
"I feel like a little worm on a big fucking hook" replied Sparky nervously as he looked at Slade trying to make himself not fall off his chair. His reply made everyone in the room laugh loudly as some of the criminals bobbed fists, even Jinx giggled slightly as she heard Sparky reply to Slade.
"Well boy your mother must be dammed proud of you" smiled Slade as he got his laughter under control and picked up his chair again. Suddenly a large black bird landed on the table, making Sparky nearly fall off his chair again.
"How the hell did that thing get in here?" asked Slade as he looked at the bird.
"Gentlemen I am terribly sorry I am late, traffic was murder" smiled Robin as he walked into sight and sat crossed legged on top of the table. Sparky looked at him and fell off his chair and tried to crawl away but was picked up violently by Seraph.
"Ahh Robin so good to see you again" smiled Slade as he looked at Robin, making Robin nod in reply.
"Hello Slade" replied Robin as he looked around him at the thugs, each of them had their weapon pointed directly at him, "I see you've been busy"
"May I ask what brings you here to my home?" asked Slade as he brushed his hair away from his face and looked at Robin.
"Him" replied Robin as he pointed directly at Sparky, making the already terrified man become even more afraid.
"Well you can't have him" said Slade playfully as he looked at Sparky and then at Robin again.
"Very well I see you've made your decision" smiled Robin as he stood up on top of the table and looked at Slade, "Now lets see you enforce it".
"This is already boring the shit out of him…KILL HIM! He ordered making everyone at the table fire at Robin, sending him flying off the table onto the floor.
"That was fun" smiled Slade as he sat back on his chair, making everyone at the table laugh slightly as they watched one of the thugs walk to the spot where Robin fell.
"He's gone" said the man as he looked over at Slade, making him stand back up and look at him. Slade was about to say something until the thug was dragged under the table and a sick stabbing sound was heard. Robin suddenly jumped back onto the table and threw several of his birdarangs at the thugs at the table, making their razor sharp points dig into their chests. The rest of them quickly raised their guns again and began to fire at Robin again, but could only watch as rosinweed unaffected by them. Robin somersaulted off the table and pulled out his bo staff and began to strike several of the men closest to him , hitting them with enough force to break either their necks or skulls. Slade quickly grabbed hold of Jinx's arm and dragged her away from the table towards the nearest exit closely followed by Seraph as he three Sparky to the floor. Sparky looked terrified as he crawled towards the table and buried his head in his hands, in an attempt to drown out the sounds of gun fire and the screams of the men robin was killing. Robin dispatched another man before his bo staff was knocked out of his hands.
"Your all going to die here today" said Robin grimly as he pulled out a few more birdarangs and threw them around him, killing even more men with their deadly points.
"Eat this!" yelled one of the men as he punched Robin in the face, but watched in horror as Robin smiled back at him. Robin punched the man several times in the face and chest before he grabbed him and drove his knee into his gut.
"You eat this" he said as he pushed the man away and hit him around the neck with a jump kick, breaking the mans neck instantly. Robin walked away as his body crumbled onto the ground and kicked another thug into the path of several bullets heading Robin's way. Robin wore a grim smile as he ran towards another thug and rammed his fist hard into his chest, making the man cough up blood and loose his breath. He then grabbed the man and tossed him against a nearby wall and followed after him and drove a kick into the mans spine, making his spine break into pieces. Robin allowed his body to drop to the floor as he looked around him at the carnage he had caused. He panted slightly as he walked towards the table and picked up his bo staff. Sparky trembled even more as he heard Robin jump onto the table and walk towards the spot where he was hiding. Robin suddenly rammed his bo staff through the table, making Sparky scream in terror and crawl away, unfortunately he crawled straight into robin's foot.
"Guess it wasn't a good day to be a bad guy huh Sparky?" asked Robin as he picked him up and looked into his terrified eyes.
"I'm not Sparky, that's Sparky" replied Sparky as he pointed to one on the thugs Robin had killed, "Sparky's dead". Robin closed his eyes and allowed some of his tears to fall as flashes of Sparky touching and licking Raven's body flashed through his mind.
"Your right he is" said Robin sadly as he pulled Sparky towards the window and threw his through it. Sparky's body smashed into a parked car making it's alarm go off almost instantly.
