Starfire looked at her friends before her. They had looks of extreme concern and worry.

Cyborg was standing before them passing around back and forth. She noticed he had been doing this for awhile and that he was determined to come up with a plan. Although everyone was putting forth their best effort, she knew Cyborg seemed to think it was his time to take control. Now that Robin had dissapeared he had done the liberty of taking the position of leader. But now, it seemed he seemed to be acting as if it were a mistake. Too much pressure. And she couldn't blame him.

"We need to do something...", Beastboy said from his place on the chair to the left of the room.

"I know that!", Cyborg exclaimed with slight annoyment in his voice.

Beastboy glared at him as he went back to staring at the floor.

Minutes went by as Starfire sat in silence, worrying for Robin's safety.

"I'm going for a back.", Cyborg stated as he headed for the door.

Beastboy stood up to follow, but Cyborg stopped turning back to him.

"You should stay here..."

The green boy gave him a questioning look," Why?"

"Because their isn't a real point in you going.."

"Why?"

"Because..", Cyborg whispered through clenched teeth," You should stay here and think."

"Think of what!?", he argued.

"Of something to help!"

"We've been doing that for hours!"

" And you'll do it until I say differently", Cyborg jammed a finger right in his face and then walked out.

Beastboy stood in place for a few moments before finally glancing over to the two girl on the couch," Are you guys coming or what?", his voice was impatient.

"Beastboy, we should stay here.", Starfire argued," Cyborg told us-"

"Cyborg is not the boss of us!", he shouted," You guys can follow if you want, but..", he didn't finish his sentence as the door slammed behind him.

A few moments of silence past between the two extremely different girls as they sat both pondering the thought of following him.

Raven pushed herself up and of the couch in a instant," Let's go.."

The Tamarn nodded slowly as they exited the tower.

They arrived in a matter of minutes to the scene.

The 'thing' was there. It was oozing around Cyborg and covering every part of his body as the robot man struggled to free himself.

As Starfire turned her head she saw Beastboy turning into every animal imaginable to break the hold of him.

The red head stood in shock as Raven came upon them quickly and did her best to save her friend.

The attempt came up short.

Snapping from her confusion, Starfire begain shooting bolts of energy towards him and hitting straight on. It satisfied her that they seemed to be having some sort of affect on the weird man.

She inched closer as it seemed to be weakening...until it started it's scream.

She gasped the noice affected her as she dropped to the ground holding her ears. The pain was unbearable. If she could...she would have ripped her ears completely off.

The rescue mission was unseccesful. The titans looked down with concern and fear. Cyborg was gone and he had been taken the same way Robin had been.

'Now what are we to do?', Starfire glanced to her fellow remaining teammates,'Even though most of us wouldn't admit it...Cyborg had been like a second leader to them. And he was the only thing that had honestly kept them calm and collected.'

She turned her head to see Raven just as panicked as her.

"Where is that thing going!?", she yelled, "And what is it?"

It was dark and they still hadn't left the spot. Starfire scanned over Raven and Beastboy they were just as clueless as her.

Raven was meditating and trying to find the location of their two friends with no luck.

"I can't find them...", she muttered under her breath.

The minutes then turned into hours and they were nearly giving up all hope when the Tamaran's titan communicator went off.'

Without hesitation she scooped it up into her hands.

Their was no picture on the screen and no sign of life until a scream.

"Starfire!", she immediatly reconized it as Robin's.

"Robin!?!", she cried.

"Starfire, listen.", his voice was fuzzy and very hard to make out," I know what the thing is! I know where is coming next...", the voice became even more complicated.

"It says it knows you!", he yelled.

She was shocked.

"Starfire?", the voice was low," Starfire? Sta-"

Their was not another sound.

"Robin!?", she yelled desperate for a answer none came.

She looked to her friends as they were standing over her shoulder listening to it all.
