"By taking the thing you treasure most, and destroying it."

Robin stared at Slade with pure hatred, then realized what he had just said. Robin slowly moved his eyes to Starfire, who was beginning to cry. "STARFIRE MOVE!" he screamed as he faced her. The other titans reacted, but noticed they could not move. Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy were bound together, in a way Robin could not see. "Friends!" Starfire shouted, "Robin, I do not understand!" "GO!" Robin screamed, as something appeared to hold him down as well. Starfire walked away slowly, holding her head in fear. She bumped into something. It was Slade. "Going somewhere?" he whispered. The tamerainian (sp?) screamed as loud as she could. Robin looked up feircly. Slade raised his hand, and slapped Starfire hard across the face. She sobbed in pain. The man grabbed her rist harshly, and punched her with great force. She gasped for breath as he had knocked the air out of her. He slapped and hit her repeatedly, while she gasped and yelped in pain. Robin was struggling with all his might to break free from his bonds. Starfire now lay on the ground, in defeat and exhaustion. Slade kicked her, then grabbed her by the throat. He threw her upon the ground and walked slowly up to her. She lay still, with her eyes closed. She had been knocked out.

"Don't you touched her again!" Robin whispered spitefully. Slade instead turned to Robin. "Oh, and are you going to stop me?" he mocked. He now kicked at Robin, then returned to Starfire. She slowly opened her eyes. She sat up painfully and stared at the faces of her friends. Cyborg was shouting angrily at Slade. Beast Boy had been knocked out. Raven was actually crying, but weather they were tears of sadness of hatred, Starfire could not tell. And Robin. Robin was on the ground, trying to talk Slade out of something. More like, demanding him to stop something. She could not hear. She did not care what he was saying, she only hoped Robin was not hurt. Slade reached the girl, and again grabbed her wrist. He snapped it. She screamed as she hear it snap. Lightening flashed in the background, lighting for a moment the warehouse through its black windows. He held onto her wrist, and ran with her dragging behind him. Robin finally broke free, and stumbled towards her. He ran as fast and hard as he could, and reached out for her hand. She tried to grab it, and they made contact. For a moment, Starfire truely believed she would be okay. Then...Slade gained speed and... they lost their hold. Robin let her slip away, right through his fingers. He tried his best, but it wasn't enough. Starfire cried out as she and Slade disappeared into the stormy night. Her hair dripped wet, yet she could still see him. "ROBIN!" she screamed. The she was gone.

"STARFIRE! STAR! STAR!!" he screamed into the darkness, but heard no response. Robin's face fell, as he turned and went to free his team. Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy fell from their bonds. Beast Boy finally woke up as his head banged against the ground. "OUCH!" he yelped, then looked at his friends. Raven wiped her eyes, and glared at the darkness ahead of them. Cyborg was silent, and had his eyes closed. "He has her. And It's my fault," Robin said, looking at the ground. "It's not your fault man," Cyborg started. Raven nodded in a silent response. Beast Boy looked around himself, "Where's Sta... oh...." "Let's go," Robin said harshly. The titans faithfully followed their leader into the black storm.

Starfire was soaked, she noticed, after she had come to. It was still storming, and the sky was black, she saw through a window. She was in another warehouse, however this one appeared to be abandoned. Slade appeared from the shadows. "Finally,"he started, "I was beginning to fear you wouldn't wake." She winced at the sound of the voice. Never in her life, had she felt so powerless, helpless...so weak. "Why do you wait? Are not you going to kill me?" she asked. "Oh, no...I intend to kill you;however," Slade hissed, "I would like an audiance." She sat up, and glared at him in silence. "Have you not done enough to Robin?" "I can never to enough to him." Starfire began to cry, not for herself, but for Robin. She knew she was not going to survive much longer, and Slade would have his way. She only hoped, for his sake, that Robin would not follow her. She knew it was a hollow wish though.

"STARFIRE!" he screamed again. his throat was now stinging from calling her name. Funny how the thing you love the most can cause you pain. Cyborg was scanning for any signs of life. They were somewhere quite familiar. "Pier 41," Raven called out through the rain. Beast Boy shuddered. "Bad memories," he said quietly. "Yo, Robin!" Cyborg shouted. Robin ran over to his half-metal friend. "Good news, I hope." "I think so," Cyborg returned, "I caught some signs of life, just over there." He pointed to a very old, broken down warehouse. "Alright..."Robin said, hesitating slightly, "Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg, stand guard, and don't let anyone in....or out." They nodded as Robin walked into the dark warehouse.

"Slade," Robin said quietly, "stop hiding." "Who's hiding?" Slade mimicked. "Where's Starfire?!" Robin demanded. "She is fine, you can assure yourself of that," Slade responded, acknowledging the girl lying behind him. She was centered, in a circle of light, a spotlight. Robin raced over to her. "Starfire?" he whispered gently. "I am fine..." she said hoarsly, "please leave..." She sat up and faced him, very slowly. Her eyes were tired, and free of their joyous shimmer. She had a black eye as well, yet...to Robin, she had never been more beautiful. He reached out to hug her. She screamed, "ROBIN!" Slade was behind him, and kicked him hard. Robin went flying into a wall, and landed with a thud. He held his side, but regained his fighting stance. "I'm going to kill you Slade...and never regret it!"
