BEFORE you read this chapter I want to clear some things up... I KNOW STARFIRE's star bolts are lime green but in my story I am trying to show you that she is ANGRY so it turns 'devilish' red (...and it's also kind of cute cause isn't Robin's color red??) And I don't think I am having Slade exactly want her as an apprentice because well... he's already had 2 so I won't go into that topic.... Now enjoy the story!!

(( Chapter 6 ))

Missing Or Runaway?

Slowly opening her eyes Starfire peered around, she recognized her surroundings... It was the same old warehouse that Slade had 'trained' Robin to be his apprentice and had destroyed later on when the Titans came to his rescue... and also the same warehouse Robin had threatened his friends and Starfire had to blast him from behind in order to stop him. She shivered remembering what she had done to poor Robin, both then and earlier.

"I'm glad you are awake, I was beginning to think that knock out gas was too powerful for you."

Starfire nervously stood up and brushed the dust off her outfit. "Why have you brought me here?"

"I understand you are in need of help and so am I..."

Lime green surrounded her hands and lit the warehouse. A few rats scattered into their hole near by.

"I do not wish for your help!"

"Oh but I have an offer you can not refuse Starfire..."

Starfire's eyes narrowed as she released the glow around her hands and the room suddenly became darkened.

"What kind of offer?"

"Just like Terra young Starfire you have powers that can help... but now as you know, they can also be dangerous. Let me help you take control..."

"NO!"

Before Slade could finish he was hit by dozens of star bolts and throw threw the air and onto the ground. Smoke arose from the star bolts and spread through out the warehouse.

"I have control! You could not teach me anything but badness and evil and-"

Slade lifted his hand for Starfire to stop. "Think about it Starfire... what could I do now? What can you do now? The Titans won't take you back, not after what you have done to Robin... and if you go back to Tamaran you could just as easily hurt some one there... so why not let me help you?"

Starfire took a step backward and thought a moment.

"If... I allow you to help me... then I may return to Tamaran?"

"Yes... but, doing you a favor will put you in debt of a favor to me... so do you accept my offer?"

Taking a deep breath Starfire looked at her hands then peered up at Slade. "I accept."

(( Back At Titan Tower ))

(Joining the Titans after the chase that took place around Pier 22... evening...)

Raven stepped into the living room where BeastBoy and Cyborg were working hard at the game station and Robin sat at the table examining a small round disk that had the letter "S" on it in orange.

"Everything ok?" Asked Raven, standing on the other side of the table.

"Didn't you notice that those bank robbers looked exactly like the robots Slade had? And the ones we just caught also looked like them too?"

Cyborg and BeastBoy paused their game and turned to look at Robin.

"Maybe the guy had more stored away or something?" suggested Cyborg. "I mean that doesn't mean Slade is back or anything."

Gritting his teeth Robin looked at Cyborg. "I got it, Slade is gone ok?"

A sweat drop appeared on Cyborg's head.

"Maybe him and his army of evil robots were resurrected from the dead?!" Announced BeastBoy, who turned toward the TV and unpaused the game; Cyborg not knowing that BeastBoy was suddenly taking the lead.

"I tore this off one of them... it has to mean something..."

"...Like that they used to work for a dead man??" Said BeastBoy who was now being strangled by Cyborg. ("You little rat! You cheated!!")

"Robin, Slade is gone..." Assured Raven pulling Cyborg off BeastBoy with her telekinesis.

"POINTY-EARED CHEATER!" Snapped Cyborg.

"Fine then! I'm going to go cook..."

"Don't you dare!"

"TOFU FOR DINNER!!"

"ARRRRRR!!!" Cyborg lept at BeastBoy but instead went crashing into the couch, BeastBoy was already standing next to the fridge with the door open.

He sang, "I beat Cyborg, I beat Cyborg, I beat Cy-"

Quickly noticing all the "evil" glares from the Titans BeastBoy shut his mouth remembering what had happened that morning and that it was a 'sensitive' subject.

"So um, should we go see if Starfire is hungry?"

Raven and Cyborg looked over at Robin; he sat the disk down and stood up. "I'll go ask her..." And he left the living room and made his way to Starfire's door.

"Starfire?" He knocked on her door but there was no answer.

He waited a minute then nervously opened her door... His eyes grew wide at an empty room. "STARFIRE?!"

Racing back to the living room the door shut behind him and the Titans looked up at him with strong curiosity in their eyes.

BeastBoy spoke, "Dude, where's-"

"Starfire's gone!!"
