Chapter 4: The Power Of... The Baby?
"Raven? Can you heal her?" Robin asked in a fear-filled voice.
"I can try," she said doubtfully
Starfire's eyelids slightly lifted, "R...Robin?"
"Starfire!" Robin was Surprised that she was awake.
"Robin... I'm cold..." Her words were hard to understand, and her eyes were barely open.
"Don't worry every thing's going to be ok," everyone was crying. Nightingale and Steel had long since orbed away.
"Robin I... I'm so sorry," she said with tears in her eye.
"What... why are you sorry?" He gasped.
"I'm sorry I'm weak, if i was strong we would be parents in nine months," She let out a weak laugh.
"Starfire! Don't talk like that! Everything's going to be ok," he promised her with tears in his eyes.
"I... I'm so sorry..." her voice trailed off. Her eyes closed, her heart stopped beating, and she stopped breathing.
"WHY DIDN'T IT WORK!?!" Robin shouted at Raven.
"BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAL THE DEAD!" she shouted and covered her mouth after the words slipped out.
"NO I WON'T BELEIVE IT SHE'S NOT..." Robin couldn't finish because Beast Boy interrupted him.
"Well don't... Look!" Beast Boy pointed to her abdomen, the gash on it healed, as did her broken shoulder. She let out a weak groan, and her eyes fluttered open.
"I thought you couldn't heal the dead?" Cyborg asked.
"I can't,"
"This may sound crazy but the baby healed me," Star said very quietly.
"I think we should go home; were attracting a little too much attention to our selves" Cyborg said as they were completely surrounded by the press.
"Who were those two villains?"
"Is it true that Starfire's pregnant?"
"What is the connection of the two mysterious villains and Starfire's pregnancy?"
The questions were coming hard and fast, and they were feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Ugh... I don't feel so good," Starfire said covering her mouth with her hand.
"It..." Robin couldn't finish because of the many questions the press was asking. All of a sudden a bright green flash of light they disappeared and reappeared in the tower.
"What just happened?" Beast Boy asked.
"I don't know but give me a minute while my organs catch up," Starfire stated
"We just orbed! H-how did we just orb?" Raven gasped.
"You're asking the wrong person," Cyborg said.
"I know the person to ask, but it won't be talking for almost two years," Robin said.
"What the hell is orbing?" Beast Boy asked.
"Magical teleporting," Raven said.
"Wait, Wait, Wait, ya'll want us to believe that an unborn baby first healed Starfire, and then teleported us away from the press?" Cyborg asked.
"That's exactly what I want you to believe," Robin started, "It's the only explanation we have, but there's another explanation we need. Starfire you need to tell us how you know Nightingale." Starfire gasped. The pain she worked so hard, all the time she spent suffering, and blaming herself would be for nothing. The sacrifice would be for nothing.
