Chapter2 - Trapped

"I don't know," replied Robin, "but I hope she's okay."

Back in her room, Starfire was, once again, deep into her thoughts. And, once again, Robin was the name that kept appearing. She remembered the time Robin had to work for Slade in order to save his friends, the way they looked at each other that very night. It was all a mystery to her. She didn't know what to think. 'Does he like me?' she thought to herself, 'Do I like him?' Her mind was everywhere. She was beginning to have a headache from all these thoughts. Once again, a knock at her door startled her.

"Y-Yes?", she shuddered, "Come in." Robin walked through the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey Star," he said in a gentle voice, "Are you okay? I was worried when you just got up and walked away." He looked at her with the same expression on his face she was just thinking about. Then it hit her! It was the look of concern! He was just worried.

"Yes," she said blushing, "I am fine now. It was probably just a headache. I am fine now."

"That's great," said Robin, who was also turning a little red, "I thought you were really sick. I'm glad you're all right."

"Robin! Star!", yelled Cyborg, "Com'mere! Quick!"

The two ran out of the room, Starfire flying beside Robin. "What's up?", Robin asked Cyborg, "Is it trouble?"

"You bet its trouble," Raven said in her usual dark tone, "It's Slade. He's been spotted uptown. We aren't sure exactly where he is, but he's causing trouble. He's launched a seismic reactor core into deep space. One press of a button, and the world will be blown to pieces. He's hiding underground. That's all we can figure out."

"Slade's done it this time," Robin said with a clenched fist, "We have to find him. NOW! Get out there! Beast Boy, you and Cyborg take the north side of town. Starfire. You're with me. We'll cover the south. Raven, you stay here, and keep trying to find the exact place Slade is hiding in!"

Within a moment's time, the four were out and searching the town, while raven tried to contact Slade using meditation.

"Hey, Star?", Robin said in a fierce, but soft voice, "How's about lighting the tunnel."

Starfire nodded, and a green glow lit the tunnel. They walked about a mile, when Raven contacted them.

"I found Slade," she said in a low tone, "He's closer to you, Robin, go straight, then turn left. Beast Boy and Cyborg will meet you there."

Robin and Starfire followed Raven's directions. It seemed like forever when they met up with their number one enemy.

"Slade", Robin said in a harsh tone, "You've really did it this time." They all watched as Slade held up the control.

"This", he said to Robin, "This is the fate of the world. Unless you all do as I say, the world will be destroyed."

"You already tried that!", yelled Beast Boy, "Robin is so not obeying you this time! Not with us around!"

"This time, I want her", Slade pointed a finger at Star, "She will help me. Any problems, and I'll blow the earth to pieces."

"Leave her out of this Slade!", Robin shouted, "This doesn't involve her. It's between you-and-me!"

"HA!", laughed Slade, "That's what you think. Since you are so concerned about this alien girl, you can go with her!" He grabbed Starfire's arm, and put medal cuffs on her hands to keep her form firing her Star-bolts. "If any of you try to stop me, you friend will be killed along with the earth. Coming Robin?"

Robin hung his head as he followed Slade. 'I know I'm her only hope for now.' he thought to himself, 'I have to try to free her.'

Slade led them to a small warehouse, also known as his "secret base". He threw Starfire and Robin into a broken freezer, and locked the door. "I'll keep you her till your needed", he said with a grin.

"DRAT!", yelled Robin as he banged his fist on the door, "Trapped again by Slade."

"I am so Sorry Robin", Star said quietly, "It is all my fault. I should have fought when I had the chance."

"Don't worry Star. We'll get out of this - somehow."
