Protecting Star

Chapter 5:

The titans got to the fight scene. Slade's minions were everywhere, destroying the city.

"Aww man! Dude! There are like so many of them!" Beast Boy whined.

"Shut up and fight," Raven said deadpan.

"Titans, Go!" Robin shouted. He took out his retractable staff and started attacking the robots.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," Raven chanted. She picked up cars and trucks and threw them at the robots.

Cyborg's right arm turned into his blaster. He blasted the minions one-by-one.

Beast Boy turned into a rhino and charged at several minions.

Starfire's Dream

The house was burning. There were flames everywhere. Two female figures, which appeared to be a woman and a child, were still inside the house, but not too far from the exit. Two other figures, which appeared to be a man and a girl, were outside, waiting for the other two females.

"Starfire! Moonfire! Hurry!" called the man figure. His name was Darkfire, the two children's father.

"Starfire! Let's go!" shouted the woman figure inside the house with the child. Her name was Moonfire, the two children's mother.

"Ahh!!" Starfire, the young girl inside the burning building, tripped on her shoelace which was untied.

"Starfire, quick, let me tie that for you," Moonfire tied both of Starfire's laces as fast as she could. As soon as she finished, the 7 year old Starfire got up and ran towards the door. Her mother, Moonfire, was close behind her, but Starfire just kept running as fast as her little legs can take her.

"Come on, Mommy!" Starfire shouted while running towards the exit. Moonfire was still behind her, running. Starfire reached the exit and turned around to find that her mother was not behind her, but a flame divider was. "Mommy!" She screamed.

Soon after, the Tamaranian Fire Department came. The firefighters went inside the building to search for the young girls' mother.

"Daddy? Where's mommy?" A curious 10 year old asked. She was Starfire's older sister, Blackfire. Darkfire kept quiet for about 30 seconds until a firefighter came up to him with bad news.

"I am truly sorry, but your wife—the flames engulfed her." The firefighter said sadly.

A tear rolled down Darkfire and Blackfire's face. Starfire had no idea what 'engulfed' means.

"Daddy? Is mommy gonna come out soon?" Starfire asked.

"No, honey. She's not gonna come out for a long time." Darkfire said sadly.

"You killed her Starfire!" Blackfire yelled sadly.

"No, I—I didn't mean- but- I didn't," Starfire was now crying.

"YOU KILLED OUR MOTHER!"

Out of dream

"MOTHER!" Starfire shot up, but fell back to the couch because of the pain in her back. She was breathing heavily and was sweating uncontrollably. She relaxed herself and just laid on the couch.

"What is the matter, my dear?" a familiar voice called. Starfire sat up, avoiding the pain in her back, and searched for the source of the voice.

"Wh-Where are you?" Starfire asked. She looked around. There, she saw him. Starfire gasped. "Slade! What do you want?"

"Quiet girl. I am only here to retrieve you. I know your back condition."

"What do you want with me?" Starfire asked. Slade chuckled.

"As bait, my dear."

"Bait?"

"Yes, if I capture you, Robin will come to the rescue."

"What do you want with Robin?!" Her eyes started to grow green.

"Curious, aren't we? Well, it's for me to know, and for you to find out."

Starfire threw a starbolt at him, but he dodged it. She threw about 5 more, but Slade still dodged it. He got closer to her. He was too close that it was uncomfortable for Starfire. It sent shivers down her spine. She beamed her lasers at him and he fell back. Starfire found the strength to get up from the couch.
"You can't get me Slade!"

"Oh, but I can." Starfire felt a blackbolt in her back that was already in pain. She fell forward.

"You thought you can get away with putting me in jail, sister?" Starfire just groaned in the pain.

"Blackfire?" Starfire said in almost a whisper. Slade picked her up and she slowly closed her eyes.
