Protecting Star

Chapter 6: Slade

The Titans just came home after beating Slade's minions and are unaware of Starfire's capture.

"Hey, how bout we go for pizza?" suggested Cyborg.

"As long as it's vegetarian!" Beast Boy shouted.

"Man, nobody wants vegetarian." Cyborg said annoyed.

"How about black olives?" Robin suggested trying to break up the vegetarian/meat fight. It didn't work.

"Black olives, Robin? Please!" Beast Boy glared at Robin. The fight went on. Raven didn't want to hear this. She sighed and picked up her book and went to the couch to read it until she noticed something.

"Um, Robin? Where was Starfire last time you saw her?" Raven asked worried.

"On the couch, why?" Robin answered getting scared.

"Because she's not there."

Robin's eyes shot open. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S NOT THERE?" he ran to the couch. Raven was right; Starfire wasn't there. He just stared dumbly at the empty couch.

"All there is is this note." Raven handed the note to Robin. It read:

Robin and Fellow Titans,

I have your precious Starfire. Come to my lair if you ever want to see her again and we'll work something out.

Slade

(a/n-Corny I know, but I couldn't think of anything else)

"Slade." Robin said through gritted teeth. "We have to find Starfire! Let's go! Now!" Robin was running down the hall until Raven picked him up with her black energy. "Raven, let me go!"

"Robin, control your emotions. We will find her, but you can't go running like that. We're a team." She let him go.

"Okay, fine." After a short pause. "Can we go now?"

Raven sighed. "Whatever."

"Titans Go!"

Slade's Lair

Starfire was slowly opening her eyes. She groaned and looked around. "Where am I?" she said in a low voice. Her surroundings were not very pleasant. The walls were rock and were a dark grayish color. The floor was hard and cold. There was a small window in one corner but inside was dark. Next to that was a door. Icy cold chains that ripped her skin were holding her down.

"Ah, my dear. You have finally awakened?" Slade appeared out of the shadows.

"Slade!? Where am I? Where are my friends? Where is Robin?"

"Do not fret. Robin will be joining us shortly."

"What are you going to do to him?" There was worry in her voice.

"You will know when the time comes." And with that, he left the room.

I know it was short! Don't hurt me! Review but please don't flame me! Unless I really really need it then I guess it's okay. So, I'll update soon don't worry ! ! !

Love ya!
