A/N: Story begins nighttime
Starfire's P.O.V.
I sat in my room awake panting heavily. You see, I had just awaken from a terrifying nightmare and I was afraid to go back to sleep. I did not want my dreams to scare me. I took the back of my hand and wiped the cold stream of sweat that began to roll down my cheek. I heard footsteps behind my door and instantly turned off my bedside lamp and pretended to be asleep. I heard two quiet taps on my door and moaned trying to make it sound like I just woke up. "Whom might I ask is it," I asked my voice a little raspy. "Its Robin, can I come in," he asked. He was always one to check on everybody. "Entry granted," I said and turned my lamp on again. I heard my door whoosh open and in walked Robin.
"Star, are you okay," he sounded concerned. "I am fine," I lied. I was terrified. I had never experienced something to horrifying. "Star, I heard you scream. Now don't lie to me. What's wrong," he asked. He walked over to me and sat down on the chair next to my bed. "Friend Robin, I am not fine. I am traumatized. I have just experienced a most horrifying dream," I said my eyes welling up with tears. He looked worried. "Star, what was your dream about," he asked me. I didn't want to answer him so I looked away. "Star," he asked. I didn't answer again. I was remembering what was going on...
...........Dream.............
"Slade! What do you want with me," Robin hissed. "Oh dear boy, its not you I want," Slade said calmly. Robin looked confused. I was frightened. If Slade was back, Robin would go and seclude himself from us yet again. Robin was glaring daggers at the screen as he tried to think of what Slade was thinking. "Then what do you want," Robin hissed. "Her," Slade answered and pointed to me. I froze in the middle of the air and fell to the ground. "What do you want with her," Robin yelled at the screen. "In due time Robin," Slade said and the screen went blank. Robin walked over to me and leaned down. I had a look of pure shock on my face. All of a sudden the roof cave in Robin jumped out of the way and dragged my unconscious body. I was just waking up and I saw Slade's robots attacking Robin. We were the only ones in the tower and I was useless. I tried to stand up but my body was being manipulated and I started to attack. I wanted to scream, but my voice would not work. It had betrayed me. I couldn't hear what was going on, but I could see.
I threw a starbolt at Robin and that knocked him to the ground and then Slade's minions jumped and attacked him, killing him. I stood there looking at Robin's lifeless body trying to cry, but I could not. I had betrayed my friend, but not by will. The force that held me and manipulated me disappeared and I was left in the tower with Robin's lifeless body only to have the rest of the team walk in and see what horrors I have done. "Star, what did you do," BB asked. I wanted to answer, but my voice did not work. I just sat there looking at Robin. Looking at what I had done. If I hadn't attacked him, he would still be fending off those robots. "Star," Raven asked. I stood up. "I did it," I simply said. Everyone stared. "Pardon," Raven said. "I did it. I killed him," I said. Everyone gasped. I didn't know what I was saying. I wanted to tell them it was Slade, but I couldn't. I could then feel that hold on me again. Whoever it was wanted me killed.
..................End dream.....................
"Star? Star? Hey are you okay," Robin asked waving a hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my dream and shook my head. "I did it," I repeated. Robin looked at me funny. "Pardon," He said. "I did it. I killed him," I repeated. Robin was shocked. I shook my head and looked at him. "Star," Robin said and put his hand on my shoulder. My head was spinning. I kept on going back to my dream and into reality. I looked like I was in a trance. "Star," Robin asked and put his other hand on my other shoulder. He shook me. "I did it. I killed him," I repeated. "Star! Who did you kill," Robin said. He was scared. I could tell. "You," I answered and passed out...
Robin's P.O.V.
When I saw her pass out like that I was frightened. I didn't want to lose her. I wasn't going to. I walked up to her and picked her up. I disregarded the fact that she said she killed me. It was probably her dream. I put my hand on her forehead and it was burning up. I was clueless as to what to do next so I laid her down on her bed and ran out of her room. Only seconds later I ran back in with a wet cloth and the rest of the team. I put the cloth on her forehead and sat back down. "Dude, what happened," BB asked. "I-I don't know. She had a nightmare and I came to check on her and she told me she killed somebody and then she passed out," I answered. I left out the part about where she told me she killed me on purpose for a reason. Did she really hate me enough to want to kill me? "Dude, she has some major issues. Isn't this like the 4th time this month," Cyborg asked. "Fifth," I said disdainfully. What was wrong with her? "Don't worry, she'll be fine Robin," Raven reassured me.
"She has a high temperature of 104 Robin," Cyborg said in a worried tone. "What? How," BB asked. I knew Star was an alien, but her body had the same organs and immune system as humans, only she heals faster so something was wrong. "Beast Boy, if I knew how do you think I would be standing around trying to figure out what's wrong," I said coldly. I didn't mean to sound mean, its just I was frustrated. "God, no need to bite my head off man," BB said and Raven quickly shut his mouth with her powers. I looked at Star as the machine next to her beeped indicating her pulse. "Cy, will she be okay," I asked. "I don't know man. She's a tough girl, but she has never been sick before," Cyborg said. I looked back to Star. She was starting to sweat, and she was tossing and turning. "She's gonna blow," BB said and ran behind Raven's cloak. I stayed in my place. She sprung up and screamed and ear shattering scream. "No, not again," she whispered and buried her face in her hands. I looked to my other 3 teammates and they nodded and left.
"Star," I asked walking up to her. Her head sprung up and her face was stained with tears. "You're alive," she said and hugged me. I was surprised saying the least. I hesitantly hugged her back and she cried on my chest soaking my pajamas. "Star, what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything," I said to her rubbing her back. She lifted her head and stared into my masked eyes. I took my free hand and wiped away her tears. "Star, what's wrong with you," I asked. "I-I do not know friend Robin," she stuttered. "Star, do you know why you are sick," I asked acting like a leader and trying not to do anything else, but be the leader. "I do not know why, but Tamaranians never get sick...unless it is something deadly," she said and a look of terror appeared on her face. "Star," I asked getting nervous. "I-I must get home," she said and jumped off the bed. She ran down the hallway and into her room, but instead of making it in, she didn't wait for the door to open and she collided into the door just as it opened.
I ran after her and I saw her get up and run in. I knock on her door. "What is it," she asked. "Star, what's wrong? Why do you need to go back to Tamaran," I questioned concern evident in my voice. "I just have to get home," she said. Her words were muffled, but I still understood. I heard her suitcase close and she ran out of her room still in her pajamas. "Star, wait up," I yelled and chased after her. She ran up to the roof and I followed. She was about to fly into the night sky, but I got to her first. "Star, what is the problem," I asked. "Nothing, now let me go," she said. "First of all you're not going anywhere without me or an explanation, and you need to change," I said. She looked at her self. She was clad in her blue and yellow duck pajamas and her hair was in a ponytail. She blushed a little. "Well, if you are to come with me, you have to change as well," she said and blushed. I looked at my appearance. I was in an oversized t-shirt and boxers. "Yeah, I do, and I plan on it. But first, why do you need to go home," I asked her trying not to get off subject.
"I need to go home so I can consult with my mother as to why I am sick," she answered. I nodded. "Look, go get changed and I'll meet you in the garage in 10 minutes," I said and walked back into the tower. Ten minutes later I walked into the garage and Starfire was there sitting on a bench in a long lavender gown with her hair in a bun and a tiara around it. I stared. "If you must know, my fighting uniform is unfitting to be in the king and queens presence and that is why I am in my Princess uniform," she informed me. I looked at myself and I was in my uniform. I laughed nervously. She put her hands on her head and she looked at her feet. I walked over to her. "Star," I asked. "Not so loudly please," she asked not looking up. "Star? Star are you okay," I asked getting worried all over again. She didn't answer. I walked over to her and her face was scrunched up in pain. I felt sorry for her. "Robin, I do not wish to go home in the T-Sub, if you do not mind could we please use the pod I arrived in," she asked. It was more like a whisper though. I nodded and walked into the pod.
It was large. There was a captain seat and a passenger seat. In the middle of the pod there was a large purple couch clad with purple flower pillows. In the back was a door, which I guessed, led to a room. I walked in and placed Star on the couch. "So, what do I do now," I asked. "Put it on auto pilot and set it for Tamaran. Then sit down and wait," she answered. I did so and the pod took off. I walked over to Star and she was laying down in a ball. I sat down next to her head. I heard her crying and so I rubbed her back again. "Star, about how long will it take to get to Tamaran," I asked. "A few days depending on the speed," she answered through quivered sobs. I nodded and she placed her head on my lap. I gently stroked her hair and she fell into a deep slumber. I looked down at her and felt her forehead. Still hot. Damn it! What could be wrong with her? I didn't know and watching her sleep was addicting. My eyes slowly began to fall and soon I was asleep.
Starfire's P.O.V.
"Starfire? Star? Wake up Star. Please, you have to wake up," pleaded Robin. I had no clue what was going on. My eyes fluttered open. I looked at the room I was in and was blinded by white. "Robin," I asked my voice raspy. Robin looked up from the side of my bed. "You're awake! Star," he said and hugged me. I was confused. "Robin, what happened? Where is everyone," I asked trying to sit up. Robin let me go and looked at the floor. "Robin," I asked. "You don't remember do you," he asked, his voice filled with despair. "Remember what," I asked getting worried. Robin sighed. "Star, you have been in a coma for 3 weeks now," Robin stated. I wasn't stupid and I knew what that was. "Pardon? Please say that again," I asked surprised. "Star, when we fought Slade you were knocked out and ever since then you have been in a coma," Robin stated. "Where is everyone," I asked him now wanting answers more than ever. Robin gulped. "Star, they're... dead," Robin said solemnly. I blinked my eyes a couple times and took in what he just said.
"And we are the only one's who survived," I asked him my eyes welling up with tears. "Afraid so," Robin said trying to add a little humor to cheer me up. "How could this be? This isn't true Robin! You're lying," I yelled and then the scenery turned into a dungeon. I looked around. "Morning cutie," came the voice. I looked over to my left. What I saw shocked me. "Red X," I shouted. He looked at me like I was a freak. "What's the matter? Why are you acting like this," he asked, his voice all robotic like. "GET AWAY FROM ME," I yelled. "Why, we're married," Red X said. I couldn't believe my ears. "M-M-Married," I asked. Red X nodded. This can't be right. "After you left that Robin kid you came straight to me," he said. What was going on? "I would never leave Robin, and if I did I would never go to you of all people," I hissed. All of a sudden I heard a weird jingle and Red X picked up a communicator with an "S" symbol on it. "Come on cutie Slade needs us to steal a disk for him," Red X said. "I work for Slade," I asked. "Yeah, you have been working for Slade ever since you killed that Robin kid," Red X said and grabbed my arm. "We need to get that disk. Lets go," he said and began to drag me.
I couldn't believe it. I killed Robin? No! I would never. "Wait! I am not dressed," I said and tried to get out of his grasp. "I don't care if you are naked. We're going now," He said and he continued to drag me through the hallway...
.........End dream..............
I woke up with a scream and Robin jumped. "Star! What's the matter," he asked from the floor. I began to cry and I brought my knees to my chest. "Robin, it was horrible," I said through my sobs. Robin sat down next to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Star, what happened," Robin asked. "Titans dead... married to Red X... work for Slade... killed you," was all I could get out. Robin was taking in the information. I continued to cry and Robin hugged me. "Star, everything will be okay," he whispered and I continued to cry. I didn't want to kill Robin. He is the only one who I love and will ever love. If I lost him, I would be lost. I hugged him tighter if possible and I kept on crying on his chest...
