Under the Moonlight
Chapter Two
The next morning Robin's heart felt like it had been shattered to pieces. He wished that Star would be at the door and waiting for him to open it. However, they would not give up. Never. Beast Boy would offered change into a hawk and search the skies and the ground, but Robin told him to wait until the others were up.
Soon enough, Raven and Cyborg were ready to take on anything and search for Starfire. Who ever messed with their friends was gonna be dead before they could say 'catch me if you can'. How did Robin know this? Raven's cloak was a furiously blazing blood red and Cyborg had the look that would kill ten people a second if looks could kill.
Beast Boy looked at Robin and Robin pointed towards the door. Who could take someone so innocent as Starfire? Who could look at those saddened eyes without feeling sad also? Who would do something like that? Well apparently a very cruel criminal can and did. They all hoped that it was a dream and that any minute now they'd wake up, but it wasn't. And they were going to kill whoever stood in their way of getting her back.
Even though they were all saddened and furious, none were as mad as Robin. He could take anyone right now. He was ready, and he WOULD find her and avenge for her. He only hoped that it wouldn't be too late.
In a dark basement, there were screams and sobs. A pair of emerald green eyes wept like Robin had just forsaken her. No, no, if he did that she would have died.
She was bound to the wall by her wrists and ankles and she cried there, kneeling down and wishing that Robin could just find her and save the day. Save her. But she didn't think that he would find her. She felt as though she was stuck there forever. After last night, no one could blame her.
Last night was a nightmare for her. The boy had used her in a way she would never speak of. At least not when it was against her own will. She ached inside and outside. He hadn't hit her, but she figured that he would sooner or later.
She wiped a tear away from her eye and sighed, he would find her. He would.
Raven searched everywhere in the northern side of the city while Beast Boy flew around the west. Robin had the southern and Cyborg had the eastern. They searched for three hours and met pack at the pizza place and sat down, each tired from their search.
"Any progress?" Robin would ask every five minutes while the others would groan and say, 'no Robin, no.'
Raven read his mind and was slightly happy to hear that he was really worried that he was missing.
"I can't believe that she's really gone! I wished that I had told her when Raven said to," Here Raven smirked and Robin's thoughts continued, "I really hope we find her. I don't know what I'll do with myself if she never comes back."
Raven melted inside, that was the sweetest thing she had ever heard, even if it wasn't about her.
Her friend's thoughts seemed to never end about Star and quite frankly, if she didn't stop reading his thoughts when she did, she would have cracked.
The Goth girl stood up after having one bite of pizza, "I'm going to look all around."
No one stopped her as she wandered around reading all the feelings around her, maybe that would help. Unfortunately, she only made it around the eastern side of the city and by then they all headed back to the tower.
The boy wonder was gloomy the whole time they were home, "We failed her."
"No we haven't we'll find her, don't worry. We just haven't yet. But we will." Beast boy tried to smile for his sad friend when they reached the common room.
Cyborg went to his room to sleep and Robin went to training. He was doing everything to keep his mind away, but somehow, his thoughts all seemed to rise around her. He had never felt worse in his life. He had never felt more guilt in his life. It felt as though it was all his fault and that he was to blame.
And the feeling grew only grew stronger as the next day failed also.
Beast Boy sighed and fell on the couch as Raven sat down next to him, "Hey Rae, do you wanna watch a movie with me, I'm sure you could really use a nice break."
"Sure BB, that would be ok. I really haven't got anything else better to do before I fall asleep." She sighed along with him.
Life without Star thus far was way too boring. Beast Boy didn't joke, Robin didn't smile or laugh, Cy never battled with BB in games, and Raven just didn't feel like herself. Usually Raven wouldn't care, but without Star, there really wasn't any cheer around. It was like all their joy was put in her and locked up there. Without her, life seemed to be miserable.
Beast Boy, instead of the scary movies, he put on a mysterious one because it just seemed to fit the mood. And the dark sorceress didn't really blame him.
She shivered because she was cold and the changeling offered her a blanket which she gladly shared with him. Eventually she ended up with her head in his lap and he ended up with his hands in her hair and his head resting on the top of the couch.
They both fell into a deep slumber and had nightmares the whole night long.
Starfire looked at the boy she hated more than Slade. His name was Lexus and he had long sandy hair with dark, mysterious purple eyes that seemed nearly black.
He sat down next to her and handed her a plate of mush that she had no idea what it was. She ate at it hungrily and handed it back to him, it looked as clean as it had before he even put the food on it.
He set the plate aside and put a hand on her cheek, "What's the matter, miss your friends? If you can call those friends."
"Yes, but they are very good friends! Why can't you just let me go? What is it that you need me for?" She sighed.
He hit her, HARD. And when she recovered from the shock, he did it again, "How dare you disagree with me and ask such stupid questions!"
Her eyes were glowing dangerously, but her star bolts were of no use, her hands were behind her back, and they would bounce off the wall and hit her back. She inwardly sobbed, she was so helpless, not to mention very claustrophobic and felt terrible.
He traced a finger down her face where he had hit her and kissed her there, "Now then, I believe you've learned your lesson. Actually, I really don't care about my friends, I just care about you."
Her eyes flashed even brighter and she tried to smile, but could not find the strength to. Which was odd considering that this was only her second night. He snaked an arm around her waist and beat her randomly, just because he felt like it and watched her reaction.
She started coughing up blood once he had started giving her major blows to the stomach and he backed off. He scowled at her, "Tomorrow you will clean that up."
She kept coughing and coughing for at least an hour before crying out to the sky, "Please help me!"
Raven woke up with sweat beaded up all around her forehead and started panting because of the vision she just had. It was awful! She looked around and noticed that Beast Boy was cooking tofu eggs again and Cy was arguing with him until he finished and sat at the table. The sorceress sat across from him at the table and worst of all, she knew that it was true and actually happened.
Beast Boy looked at her with worry stamped all over his face, "Rae? Are you ok? You look like you've just seen a ghost."
"If anything BB, she'd BE the ghost!" Cyborg laughed from behind the counter and ended up with a tofu egg tossed onto his face.
She shook her head, "Beast Boy, I need to talk to you alone. Right now."
"Uh, ok." He nodded and she dragged him outside.
"So what was it you wanted to talk about?" The green teen inquired with much concern.
Raven whispered, "I had a vision about Starfire."
He gasped, "Really? Maybe it could help us find her! And maybe…"
He was cut off by her shaking her head no, "No Beast Boy, you don't understand, I saw a vision of her taker beating her. And it wasn't a dream, it was real."
"How do we tell Robin?" He looked at her with eyes wider then dinner plates.
She blinked at him, "That's easy, we don't. We can't, he'd hate us and wouldn't believe us."
He nodded in agreement, "Yeah well, did you see what kind of place she was in?"
"She is," The Goth girl shuddered, "Somewhere underground."
That day, the titans made some progress and found out that Star was somewhere in the southern side of the city. When Beast Boy and Raven found out about this, they gulped. Robin didn't notice though, nor did he care, he just wanted to find Starfire.
Cyborg decided to start working on a tracking device and until he could make it, they were stuck to reading emotion waves, searching above the trees and listening, and looking on the ground.
The boy wonder was walking around and felt a burning inside of him as he heard screaming from across the street. He ran fast and faster and faster until he reached the jeweler's and witnessed one boy, about nineteen running out with a bag in hand.
He ran to the boy and yelled, knowing that Beast Boy and Rae were not far behind, "Beast Boy, Raven OVER HERE! THE JEWLERS!"
The boy was running to a motorcycle, but Robin beat him there and tackled him. The sandy haired criminal smacked him in the face with the bag of stolen gems and Robin yanked his long hair, clawing at his cheeks and hitting him.
The punches went on and on until Beast Boy caught up and helped him tie a rope while Raven called the police. Another robber was down, but to Robin it meant nothing. Nothing until he found his Star and his Star knew how he felt about her.
But how was she to know when he himself wasn't sure? He thought and dazed off until the green titan shook him out of it, "DUDE! DUDE! Get back to earth!"
Robin shook his head and sighed, he wanted to find Star, he wanted her back now.
Starfire scrubbed the stain off the floor that SHE had caused. When she had finally finished she rung the bell that Lexus had given her so he could give her a lunch break.
Work, work, work, that's all she did. Every time she made a mistake or he got angry or bored, she took the blow and worked harder. Life at this point sucked at she wanted out of it. But she knew that patience was a virtue and would rather wait than get hurt more.
But for some reason he did not come. He had gone out with an empty bag and told her that he was going to rob the jewelers and threw an empty wine glass at her when she pleaded him not to. He seemed to hate her for no reason.
Hopefully the titans would get him, come back with the keys to her chains and set her free. He had given her new chains so she could clean, but the chains he gave her drained the powers from her body. And thus, she was helpless. She looked around and saw her clothes in the corner of the room all nice and folded.
He had given her an outfit that he wished for her to wear and she hated it. It was white, with blood stains on it, and even though she wondered where or who the stains had come from, she decided not to ask. She wore whatever he asked and did what he told her to, because she was stuck and helpless.
She couldn't reach her belongings, she had tried, but she was bound to the wall and could not reach them. She supposed that he would come back any minute and threaten her, but he did not. He didn't come back at all.
Somewhere in jail, Lexus was being asked questions about where his other things were and such, and he answered them truthfully, he told them where everything was, except, Starfire. He did not mention the girl he had in his basement, and no one asked.
No one asked because no one knew. No one knew that he was the one that took her. They knew she was gone, but did not know that he was the one who had tricked her that night. No one knew, and he was going to keep it that way.
What had happened? Lexus was the thief at the jewelers that Robin had brought down, and he knew who Robin was, but he wasn't going to let the wonder boy know who HE was. He was going to leave Starfire to die, he didn't care. He didn't care at all. And when he would be released, he was going to reveal all because by then, it would be too late.
It would be to late and he could rub it in.
Cyborg growled in frustration, the tracking device would take a month to make at this rate! He threw the nearest bolt to the wall and replaced it with another one. The way this device would work, would be that you place a piece of the person's DNA in the tube and the machine would identify it.
After that a neon light would make a trail in the sky and lead you strait to that person. It was brilliant, and would work, but would take forever to make.
He sighed and headed towards the kitchen, maybe a snack would help him clear the anger.
"Any luck?" Robin practically demanded Cyborg.
"Nope." He answered grimly.
Beast Boy muttered through his small bite of tofu, "Wrong answer."
"What DO YOU MEAN NO PROGRESS?" Robin roared so loud that Raven had to press her cloak in her ears and Beast Boy fell to the floor. Cyborg stood there stunned.
If the half-human had any hair, it would have fallen out due to the force of Robin's outburst, and he yelled back, "I HAVE THE BLUE PRINTS FINISHED, THAT'S SOME PROGRESS!"
The leader nodded, "Oh, Good."
And as soon as he said that, Robin left to work out again.
Beast Boy shook his head, "I TOLD you wrong answer."
The next morning Starfire waited for her food, but surprisingly there was none. Her body shivered on the cold, damp, floor and she waited for her food.
Lexus had not returned that night and being the kind person she was, she had forgiven him, he was a drunk, and even though she had no idea what a drunk was, Robin had told her that people who drank things that had alcohol in them couldn't control their actions.
And while she had cleaned up the glass that was shattered on the floor and was throwing it away, she saw another bottle that said "alcoholic beverage" on it. After that she figured that it meant that there was alcohol in that drink.
She thought for a moment on how much Robin had taught her, which eventually led up to her thinking about Robin himself. He always fought to keep in shape and was the perfect leader by nature. His shining black hair and pointed nose… and his eyes. Starfire lately kept on wondering what color his eyes were since she had never seen them. And lately she missed him a lot.
She missed all the titans, but Robin even more so than the rest. She missed Beast Boy's humor and positive attitude, she needed some of it right then. And she missed Raven and her ability to remain calm, no matter what, she needed that also. She also missed Cyborg's ability to make everything seem like just a game, and that even if you lost, there would be a second chance, she wanted that.
But out of all the things she missed, she missed her best friend the most. They were all her friends, but she was just attached to Robin in a way she could not name. It frightened her, when they were fighting. She had confidence in the boy wonder no doubt, but if he got harmed… the bells inside her head would not leave her alone.
Alone. She was alone. Helpless. Her hands were once again, bound and she was drained of her power. She wished so badly that she could get out of this mess and wake up with Robin there to help her. She wished that more than her want for the abilities her friends had. The only thing she wanted, craved for, was something more than friendship.
Of coarse, the leader would probably care less, but she still wished for that more than anything else. She still had hope in her heart, hope that would never fade. Because when people on her planet fell in love with someone, they loved them for the rest of their life.
That's what really saddened Starfire, she just knew she loved him more than a friend now, but what if he didn't feel the same way? She would have to live the rest of her life loving someone who didn't love her back, she thought she'd kill herself if something like that had happened.
She sighed, she was really hungry now, all she'd eaten in the three days she'd been there was that muck and two runny eggs. She was really thirty also. Lexus never gave her water. In fact, the little water she did drink, came dripping from the ceiling of the basement and was dirty. But she didn't care, she had to drink something.
She sat there the whole day and waited, but no food came, nor drink. Lexus was caught and she would be stuck there forever.
"Oh Robin!" She cried, "I love you a lot, and you have no idea how much I wish you were here by my side!"
That night Raven and Beast Boy met up again, but not on purpose, no. She was going to get something warm to drink to help her sleep, and he was going to eat a midnight snack.
He laid across the couch and she sat at his feet. She was the first to speak up, "I'm really worried BB, Robin looks like he'll go insane if he's without Starfire for much longer."
"Yeah, did you see the way he blew up at Cyborg today? Unbelievable!" He nodded in agreement.
She sat her cup down on the floor and buried her face in her hands, she wasn't wearing her cloak and her hair hung loose in her face. Beast Boy thought she looked beautiful, even angelic. And Raven was too worried to even think of reading his mind, she had her own mind to control.
He sat up and put an arm around her kind of awkwardly, he had never seen a frantic Raven, and he both hated and loved it at the same time. Raven rarely ever showed emotion even in her voice ever so this was like a miracle.
He rested his head on hers and whispered with concern, "What's the matter besides that Raven? There is definitely something other than that on your mind, I can feel it. Which is weird because it should be the other way around."
"I just…" She trailed off, not really knowing what to say. That is, if she could say anything at all. Her heart was pounding so hotly and hard in her chest, she was convinced that the kind green boy who was basically hugging her could hear it.
"You just what?" He asked.
She sighed and shook her head, "It's nothing of importance, we have a bigger situation at hand and should be more concerned about Starfire, not my petty problems."
He yawned and gave up before she ended up sleeping next to him on the couch for the second time that week.
A/N: Aw, a little Raven and Beast Boy moment! Well, I personally thought my writing sucked, but I think everything I do sux, so I'll just take ur word 4 it. And don't take advantage of that please! I know, I am evil for not letting Raven admit her feelings for him! But, I think it would be way too soon right now, so I am going to wait until the time is right. Oh, and as 4 Starfire's plan, I ACTUALLY have it already set up! Now then, it is 12:56 in the morning here, so I have 2 go 2 bed, I hope u all liked it!
As Always,
RUBY

His shining black hair and pointed nose… and his eyes. Starfire lately kept on wondering what color his eyes were since she had never seen them. And lately she missed him a lot.
She missed all the titans, but Robin even more so than the rest. She missed Beast Boy's humor and positive attitude, she needed some of it right then. And she missed Raven and her ability to remain calm, no matter what, she needed that also. She also missed Cyborg's ability to make everything seem like just a game, and that even if you lost, there would be a second chance, she wanted that.
But out of all the things she missed, she missed her best friend the most. They were all her friends, but she was just attached to Robin in a way she could not name. It frightened her, when they were fighting. She had confidence in the boy wonder no doubt, but if he got harmed… the bells inside her head would not leave her alone.
Alone. She was alone. Helpless. Her hands were once again, bound and she was drained of her power. She wished so badly that she could get out of this mess and wake up with Robin there to help her. She wished that more than her want for the abilities her friends had. The only thing she wanted, craved for, was something more than friendship.
Of coarse, the leader would probably care less, but she still wished for that more than anything else. She still had hope in her heart, hope that would never fade. Because when people on her planet fell in love with someone, they loved them for the rest of their life.
That's what really saddened Starfire, she just knew she loved him more than a friend now, but what if he didn't feel the same way? She would have to live the rest of her life loving someone who didn't love her back, she thought she'd kill herself if something like that had happened.
She sighed, she was really hungry now, all she'd eaten in the three days she'd been there was that muck and two runny eggs. She was really thirty also. Lexus never gave her water. In fact, the little water she did drink, came dripping from the ceiling of the basement and was dirty. But she didn't care, she had to drink something.
She sat there the whole day and waited, but no food came, nor drink. Lexus was caught and she would be stuck there forever.
"Oh Robin!" She cried, "I love you a lot, and you have no idea how much I wish you were here by my side!"
That night Raven and Beast Boy met up again, but not on purpose, no. She was going to get something warm to drink to help her sleep, and he was going to eat a midnight snack.
He laid across the couch and she sat at his feet. She was the first to speak up, "I'm really worried BB, Robin looks like he'll go insane if he's without Starfire for much longer."
"Yeah, did you see the way he blew up at Cyborg today? Unbelievable!" He nodded in agreement.
She sat her cup down on the floor and buried her face in her hands, she wasn't wearing her cloak and her hair hung loose in her face. Beast Boy thought she looked beautiful, even angelic. And Raven was too worried to even think of reading his mind, she had her own mind to control.
He sat up and put an arm around her kind of awkwardly, he had never seen a frantic Raven, and he both hated and loved it at the same time. Raven rarely ever showed emotion even in her voice ever so this was like a miracle.
He rested his head on hers and whispered with concern, "What's the matter besides that Raven? There is definitely something other than that on your mind, I can feel it. Which is weird because it should be the other way around."
"I just…" She trailed off, not really knowing what to say. That is, if she could say anything at all. Her heart was pounding so hotly and hard in her chest, she was convinced that the kind green boy who was basically hugging her could hear it.
"You just what?" He asked.
She sighed and shook her head, "It's nothing of importance, we have a bigger situation at hand and should be more concerned about Starfire, not my petty problems."
He yawned and gave up before she ended up sleeping next to him on the couch for the second time that week.
A/N: Aw, a little Raven and Beast Boy moment! Well, I personally thought my writing sucked, but I think everything I do sux, so I'll just take ur word 4 it. And don't take advantage of that please! I know, I am evil for not letting Raven admit her feelings for him! But, I think it would be way too soon right now, so I am going to wait until the time is right. Oh, and as 4 Starfire's plan, I ACTUALLY have it already set up! Now then, it is 12:56 in the morning here, so I have 2 go 2 bed, I hope u all liked it!
As Always,
RUBY
