Hey guys! Sorry to leave you at a cliffy like that, but I'm ready to go now!

-------------------------------------- -----

Robin darted down the hallway to the roof entrance. She could not leave, not yet. He

knew Starfire to well, she would not leave without saying goodbye in person, or maybe

she would. She was always really cautious around her sister, like she didn't want to upset

her unless Blackfire really did something to piss her off. Starfire was his life; he just

couldn't picture her leaving on the spot like that. He wouldn't let that happen. No one, no

one was taking Starfire away from him, no one. He got to the roof entrance and slammed

the door open to find Starfire and Blackfire together, Starfire in chains. He could not

stand to look at it. Starfire was in raggedy clothes, not her usual clothes, ratty, slave

clothes. Her hair was pulled back out of her face a tied back in a very tight, high ponytail,

which did not look right on Starfire, considering she always wore her hair down. Also,

not only the facts that she was dressed like a slave and raggedy, she was in chains. Chains

were around her wrists to keep her from using her only form of defense, Starbolt. Robin

stood in awe, as did Blackfire and Starfire. Starfire took a glance at Robin and started to

blush, and with that, she took off, trying not to let Robin see her like this, but Blackfire

pulled her down. "Now Sister, you would not want Robin to miss out on seeing you like

this, would you? You came to protect him after all. Let's see how he likes his

punishment." Robin clenched his and in a fist, trying to hold back till the opportune

moment. "What punishment." Blackfire let an evil smile slowly work its way across her

face. "See, I needed money, and it just so happened that a traveling act needed a new

person to try and fight against its monsters, and I would get the money. I told them about

you, the great boy wonder, and they made me an offer, but, I also told them about our

little Starfire her." She looked down at Starfire who was sitting on the rooftop, head

down in her lap, not wanting anyone to see her face. Blackfire smiled as she continued.

"They said either one of you would be fine, but they would pay just a little bit more for

the boy wonder. So, I came to Earth, to get both of you, so I could get twice the money.

However, little Starfire here would not allow it. She told me that she didn't care if I got

money, but I could not have both of you, and that's when I made her the offer. If she did

not come with me on the third day of my visit to Earth, I'll take you instead." Blackfire

paused and looked up at Robin who has standing in shock. His hands were no longer in

fists, but open, as if in shock. Robin stared at Blackfire for a moment, who was staring at

him. She lost her smile and frowned at him. "What a waste." She yanked on Starfire's

chain that was binding her hands together. Starfire wasn't showing any motion, like she

was in shock too. She wasn't crying or anything. Robin didn't understand. Blackfire was

hovering about 4 feet above the roof top. She yanked on Starfire's chain again. "Starfire,

let's go, now." She yanked repeatedly and repeatedly but nothing happened. Blackfire

gazed down at Starfire who took a look up at her sister's face. "No"
