(( Chapter 10 ))

And I Will Continue To Smile

Slade turned to Starfire and lifted the gun. "I am going to make you regret your last move."

Starfire had done many things she now regretted… but protecting her friends was not one of them.

His finger forced down the trigger and the yellow beam shot toward Starfire, her eyebrows lowered as she raised her hand and a green shield absorbed the blast then disappeared.

Slade gritted his teeth and again shot the gun but Starfire just kept repeating the shields and absorbing the harmful blasts.

Finally Slade gave up on the gun and lunged forward at Starfire, he caught her off guard as smoke faded away. He punched her in the face with the back of the gun and she fell backwards onto the cement.

"Leave me alone!" Starfire screamed, she peered up at Slade and threw herself at him, she grabbed onto his arm and blasted him across the street… far across the street and back into the warehouse where they had come from.

Starfire stood up, heavily breathing, and took off toward Slade.

(( Back With The Titans ))

Robin rubbed his head and stood up, Raven was leaning against BeastBoy who was helping her walk and Cyborg was looking around the deserted street.

"Where's Star?"

A scream.

All heads turned down the street in the direction for the source of the scream, an old warehouse.

"Starfire!!" Robin's voice echoed down the street as the Titans took off in hope to help their friend.

(( Rejoining Starfire In The Warehouse...))

Starfire let out a scream as Slade grabbed her from behind and threw her to the floor, he held her hands into the air and had his foot on her back to keep her positioned on the floor.

"You think you have no regrets now Starfire… but you will."

He released her hands and pushed her aside with his foot.

"You aren't happy with the Titans… you never were… they could never really see past your fake smiles and your pretend joy…"

Starfire's vision became blurry from tears.

"You don't need to pretend around me Starfire… I helped you and I still can…"

Starfire punched the ground with her fists and stood up, just a few inches away from Slade. She threw her fist into his stomach and he moved backward, his hands cradling his sore stomach.

She dropped to the floor and kicked his knees, causing him to fall to the floor. Behind him Starfire's fading red eyes saw the keyboard that Slade has typed something into and behind that were the screens where what ever Slade had typed would come out of.

An eerie red light lit the warehouse.

Slade looked up at Starfire who stood was now not even an inch from him.

"Think about it Starfire… what would you do if you went back to the Titans?"

Starfire smiled and raised her glowing red hands.

"I will be happy…" A red flame circled her body. "…and I will continue to smile."

She lifted her hands above her head, her hair blowing furiously with the flames. Her burning red eyes stared down into Slade's eyes as she felt a release in her body and the burning flame she once held in her hands blast into Slade and knock him into the screen behind him… at first he just hit it with an impact and as the glass shattered Slade's body began to disappear into the screen… He struggled and fought for his way out but within seconds he was gone and Starfire was on the floor crying.

"Starfire?" She spun her head around and saw her friends beside her.

"You are all… ok?" She said with shock in her voice, even more shock came when she thought she saw Raven smile.

"We're fine…" Starfire looked directly into Robin's mask and could swear she saw his eyes. "What about you?"

"I am ok… now that I know that my friends are unharmed…" Starfire looked over at the broken screen. "Slade had tricked me with the most unhumorous trick… he made me believe that you had attacked me…and that you were dead…" she looked back at Robin. "And that I was the reason… I was the one that hurt you…"

Robin wiped a tear off Starfire's cheek. "That's crazy Star, we know you'd never hurt us…" He smiled "And I'd never you."

Starfire's eyes became tear-filled with happiness as she threw herself at Robin for a hug, she was smiling deeply because she was as happy as she ever had been. Opening her eyes she pulled away from Robin and noticed Raven. Starfire looked down at her feet then spoke, "Raven, I did not know how hard it is to control such anger… I do not want Slade to help me, but perhaps you would…?"

When Starfire looked up Raven was smiling at her with her hand on her shoulder.

As The Titans began to leave the warehouse Starfire stopped in the doorway and gazed at the shattered screen.

Her friends stopped and looked at her as she spoke in a calm voice,

"I am most happy he is gone… but I can not help but wonder… what has become of Slade?"

(( THE END! ))
