Amenthyst Wind- Once again I apoligize.
Disclamer: I do not own Teen Titans.
" We haven't seen him in months.", Robin was explaining to Starfire the condition of Slade," And it worries me..."
The Titans were sitting around the round table all picking at some interesting dish that Beastboy had prepared.
" We know he's getting stronger though.", Cyborg chimed in," The last time we had a encounter with him he was just about to strong. Infact we had just gotten lucky."
" I'm not even sure what were going to do if he attacks again.", Robin said taking a sip of tea.
"Slade's become that strong?", Starfire asked. They all nodded. The Tyran noticed that the others were also having trouble getting down their dish even the creator and chef, Beastboy.
"So a war, huh?", Beastboy questioned while trying to start a conversation.
Starfire nodded.
" Well...umm...Was it a...big war?", he asked.
Once again she nodded," One of the biggest wars my planet has ever had to overcome. It was terrible and my planet suffered greatly."
" What exactly invaded it?", Raven asked.
" It's funny...even after all those years, no one actually had or gave them a name. We commonly reffered to them as Welts.", she paused," Do to the fact that they were covered in them."
"Welts-"
Robin was itterupted by Starfire's communicator as it started going off quite loudly.
She stood up," Please excuse me."
The girl made her way to the other room as she pushed the red button on the side.
It was of course her father who appeared.
And she knew he would want a explanation of her dissapearence.
"Father, I apoligize.", she said softly.
He didn't say anything through the communicator. He just stood there looking her over with a unwanted and very icy glare.
"I had to-"
He stopped her," Let me ask you a question, Daughter."
She nodded slowly.
" Are you not a Tamaran?"
A confused look came upon her face.
" Are you not a Tamaran?", he repeated.
" Yes, of course."
"You don't seem to act it.", he spoke angrily," It's almost as though you wish you were a earthling."
" Father, it is not like that."
" Why did you leave? Why did you leave without even discussing it with me first?"
"You knew I would return and my stay was only temporary.", she argued.
" Yes, but that was before I knew of how long and hard the battle would be."
" What do you mean?"
" Your a Tamaran woman.", he said stating the obvious," You have reached a time that most females have reached their goals and are settling down and starting a family.", he sighed," And you have done neither."
"But I don't want to stay on my planet and have children.", she shook her head," Atleast not yet."
"You were always different, Starfire.", he looked down," Perhaps it is my fault. You should not have been permitted to that planet."
"But I was.", she answered simply," And I do not plan to return.", she clicked the red button on the side and put it in her pocket.
She stood there feeling guilty and regretful that she had not atleast informed her father before she left. But their was little she could do now.
Starfire made her way back to the dining room.
"Who was that?", Beastboy asked curiously.
"My father.", she answered simply.
"Everything okay?", Robin questioned as he put his barely touched plate in the sink.
"Well-", she opened her mouth to talk but decided against it. She wasn't in the mood to talk about it she decided. It was time to talk about happy times.
"It's fine."
Robin nodded as he sat back down in his chair.
"Well, I-"
Robin was interrupted by the screeching call of the alarm. Starfire almost jumped out of her seat at first, as she had almost forgotten its call.
Cyborg jumped out of his seat without question heading for the door. Terra followed soon behind him as the rest of the Titans also did.
The masked leader stopped at the door and realized the red head beauty had not followed his path.
"Coming?"
"Of course.", she nodded as she flew after him.
They arrived to a epic battle scene.
Their was what seemed a man. A man in the middle of a squabble of cops.
His body was ghostly white. And his frame skinny and almost fragile looking. He looked harmless but it was obviously not the case as he jumped through the crowd of cops crushing many of them with his massive landings.
Starfire stood their cluelessly in awe as the other Titans advanced toward him trying to get past the mass of cops without hurting them. She came out of her trance slowly as she realized where she was.
She flew after them.
This was her chance to prove that she could still be part of the team. That she still had the ability to help and that she was meant to be here again.
She flew over the crowd like a bullet eager to reach it's target. The green energy searched through her body until it glowed through her hands and up to her eyes. The energy always made her whole body tingle with power. It was almost unfamiliar as she had not been allowed to do such things since she had left the Titans.
The Tamaran made her first attempt as the man as she flew a ball of energy. The target past to the side of him.
She was rusty.
But she knew she would not miss again.
Starfire attempted the energy again, but this time through her eyes.
It hit him head on right square in the chest. Unfortatley it had no affect what so ever.
She let out a fustrated sigh.
Cyborg had made it to the front of the crowd. He took out his gun and shot it at the creature.
The white man flew back alittle as he was impacted by it.
Cops that surrounded them decided that they had done enough and started slowly backing off leaving room for the Titans to do their work.
The ghostly man opened his mouth and let out a defeaning shriek of frustration.
Starfire gasped as she fell to the ground covering her ears in pain. Her ears felt as if they were on fire and they were popping continously. The Tamaran felt as if her head would explode at any minute if she must endur it any longer.
She looked up at her surroundings and noticed that no one seemed effected. The other Titans were fighting the man with all their might and the police men were watching her with curiousity.Why isn't anyone feeling this?, she asked herself.
Robin looked at her when he had a moment with concern.What is she doing?
The man kicked him at his distraction. He came back into focus but stopped as well as the other Titans when the many screams came.
"Stop it!"
The Titan stopped and looked over to Starfire where the voice had been heard from.
"I don't know how to explain it to you any better, Melonie."
He stood in awe. Her mouth was not moving. But it was clearly her. It was clearly her voice.
" I'm sick of my planet!"
The call came from the air around them. Robin realized that random thoughts from her were being called into the open.
"Maybe I should go home...I feel guilty."
Yet another unrelated speaking from any of the other popped out into the open.
" I need to get up...and fight."
" I need to prove myself."
"It is good to be back."
She kept pouring out random sayings.
The man beside them seemed to have realized that he had this effect on her as he kicked Robin out of his way.
The thing seemed to have run out of breath as it stopped it screeching.
Starfire finally felt the pain ease as she stood up. She was completely unaware that her thoughts had been out for everyone to hear.
She went for the guy again with a stronger blast of power. Again it had no effect.
Thats when she decided to go for the direct approach.
The Tamaran girl flew down steep and as fast as she could. She reached him and went for a blow with her hand.
The hand reached him, but the feeling she recieved felt of soft slime. Her hand was enveloped in his chest and she struggled to pull it out with no success.
The white goo of them men seemed to harden around her hand and to her horror, it began coming over her arm and rather quickly.
The masked leader to know time realizing that his friend was in trouble and went right in preparing to free her. He charged right for the man with all him might and as he reached him he ran right into him. Right through his body and into him. And dissapeared into the goo.
Starfire gasped as she finally managed to remove her hand.
It was then that the white ghostly man sank into the cracks of the street and dissapeared.
Starfire looked around in panick for any sign of Robin as the other Titans ran over.
"What...What just happened?", Cyborg asked.
"Did he like..just go right into..that thing!?", Beastboy yelled looking around.
"We have to go find him!", Starfire yelled ignoring their comments. She made her way to a brick wall and pounded her fist in the wall braking off the dry plaster.
" We don't even no where to start.", Raven stated quietly.
Cyborg nodded," Yeah. We should go try to find some information on this guy and go from their."
The rest of the team nodded as they followed.
As Starfire followed she felt a flood of guilt come over her.
'Why did he feel the need to always rush in and help right when I get alittle in trouble?'
She paused.
'If only he had just given me the chance to regain myself.'
A thought came to her.
'Yet again, he never really use to give me a chance. He would always make sure I was okay. It was almost as if he didn't think I could do it.'
They arrived to the Titan building.
'He was always like that though. And now as soon as I come back this happens...I feel almost as though it is my fault.'
A/N: Well, I know it didn't really match up to my first chapter. But I promise it will get better...If I get enough reveiws I'll continue!
