Robin headed for his room and thought about earlier in the park. He thought about being that close to kissing Star. The more he thought about it, the sooner sleep drifted in and before long Robin was asleep.
All in the Tower but one of it's residents was asleep. Silverfire was awakened from his meditation. He heard something whisper. He stared at the small room that the Titans had provided for him. He shook the whispered voice out of his head and went back to trying to figure out why Rosefire had blocked him from her mind.
Rosefire was hiding something that she didn't want him to know. What could she be hiding? This room was not giving him any answers, so he decided to go for a walk through the Tower. While on his walk, he decided to check on Rosefire. When he reached her room he peeked in to check on her. He opened the door quietly and looked at her sleeping form. She was fine and asleep. The next person he went to check on was Starfire and after a while of searching he finally found her room. He once again opened the door quietly and found that Starfire was back in the Tower. He had been relieved but kept thinking that he should have gone after Starfire, but he had let the boy go after her. As he continued his walk through the Tower trying not to wake the sleeping residence, he remembered the conversation with her grandfather after the elders had given Rosefire and Silverfire the mission.
Flashback
"Silverfire come in! Come in quickly now!" said a voice.
As Silverfire entered through the door, he saw an old man with long while beard, green eyes and white hair, wearing a brown robe. He smiled at the boy who had entered.
"You wanted to see me sir," he was about to do the customary bow before him when Whitefire told him that now wasn't the time.
"Sit down," he told Silverfire. "The elders and I have been discussing this for I do not how long. We know that Starfire, my granddaughter, is on Earth, since we heard from her transmissions and through Blackfire. As we told you a villain with your powers has escaped to Earth and that is where the Heart is. Starfire being on Earth is in danger and we fear that he may use her to get the Heart. Many of the elders want to use a force of soldiers to retrieve her. I thought simpler solution would be to send Rosefire to her. As we told you earlier Starfire is resident with some superheros of Earth and from there I think you can investigate the Heart. The reason I am sending you along is to protect both of my granddaughters. You have protected Rosefire for so long I trust you to protect them now."
"I will sir."
I will keep my promise, he thought as he sat down on the couch in the living room. Daylight went spraying through the Tower, waking some of the residents up. Silverfire had been up all night looked to see Raven going to the kitchen. From time he had arrived, he had found that Starfire's companions were very interesting to watch. They often did strange things.
There was comfortable silence between the two as Raven sat down with her tea. Raven drank her tea while she read and Silverfire watched her. Their silence was interrupted by coming of Cyborg and Beastboy. Even early in the morning they could start argument and they took it into the kitchen. A few minutes later a sleepy Robin came in and joined them. The argument hadn't stopped though, Robin had tried. Then a happy Starfire came in and Silverfire could see their leader suddenly brighten up. Then Rosefire awoke at last. When she saw him, she moved over to join him.
The argument had ended after Raven threatened to send Cyborg and Beastboy into another dimension. The Titans started up a conversation and Robin swiftly moved it to the situation at hand. The conversation immediately ended at Robin's question: What were they going to do now?
Rosefire didn't reply and looked over at Silverfire who looked at Robin. The other Titans waited for an answer from someone after silence had taken over.
"I do not know." said Rosefire finally.
"Sister are you all right?" asked Starfire looking at her older sister.
"I am fine," said Rosefire, who then got up and walked out of the room. Silverfire immediately left and followed her out.
"We should try finding Warfire," said Robin, remembering from the conversation of the previous night.
"How are we going to find him?" asked Beastboy.
"Man, we don't know where to start," said Cyborg.
Meanwhile in the hallway
Rosefire stopped and sank to her knees where she began to cry. Silverfire bent down to her face and looked at her. He reached out and brushed away a piece of hair that was in her face. She didn't move at the slight touch. Right now Silverfire's heart was aching just watching her cry. What ever she was hiding was obviously tearing her apart. He sat there just watching, never saying a word. Rosefire stopped crying when she saw him sitting there.
"Thank you," said Rosefire.
"Your welcome, as always," said Silverfire.
Later that afternoon
The Titans discussed what they would do with Warfire with Rosefire and Silverfire.
"We have to defeat him before he finds the Heart," said Rosefire.
"We don't know where to find him," said Robin.
"Do not worry. He will find us," said Rosefire.
"He's not going to be quickly defeated if he has the gene like you two, said Raven. "That means that we could be easily defeated, especially if he gets his hands on the Heart."
"That is correct," said Rosefire.
"It is too bad you do not have anything planned," said a voice in the shadows. He stepped out of the shadows and the Titans gasped.
"You must be Warfire," said Robin.
"Oh course," said Warfire as a smirk played across his face.
Rosefire had to control herself from attacking him right then and trying to wipe that evil smirk off his face. If she made one wrong move her sister and the others could be hurt. The Titans were getting ready to attack, but Silverfire had noticed first and shook his head. Rosefire and Silverfire had both met him before; they knew him better than the Titans. If not approached cautiously Warfire could cause very distressing results. They were all ready to fight Warfire if he decided to attack him.
"Relax I am not really here," said Warfire. "I merely come as a messager, for now. Rosefire, my dear, you already know that I know where the Heart is. For you Titans if you do interfere in my plans you will pay dearly. Oh, Rosefire, I also come to warn to stay out of my plans or your sisters will not survive. There you are." He looked over at Starfire. "You have something that I want."
"What do you want?" asked Robin.
"As I said before: I merely wish to let you know that I am here and you cannot stop me."
"We will and you are not going to win," said Rosefire as she threw a starbolt. The image faded. Rosefire stood there her fists clenched, then she stormed out of the room.
Silverfire looked at the Titans. "If you will excuse us. I am going to talk to her and we will see if we can resolve this Warfire dilemma at later time. Please go on about your business." He disappeared in the direction Rosefire had gone.
"Okay what did that guy do, because the starbolt went right through him?" asked Beastboy.
"It is called astral projection. It allows the user's soul to leave their body and travel to any place they desire," said Raven.
"Okay," said Beastboy and Cyborg, confused.
"Forget it," said Raven. Then she left the room, probably to meditate.
"Well, I have to go see to my baby. Want to help me Beastboy?" asked Cyborg, making his way to the garage.
"Cyborg-," started Beastboy, but Cyborg pulled him along.
Once in the hallway Beastboy and Cyborg glanced into the living room. Starfire sat down on the couch and Robin was coming over to her.
"Why did you do that?" asked Beastboy.
"They needed a little privacy. Now come on," said Cyborg, and they both headed for the garage.
Starfire was sitting on the couch with her hands folded. She didn't notice Robin's presence there for a minute, then she looked up.
"What do you think Warfire wants from me?" asked Starfire.
"I don't know Star. I promise he won't lay a finger on you," said Robin.
A smile came on her face then she said, "Robin I must confide in you about my sister. I feel that Rosefire is not telling me the truth and worried she is hiding something from me." She looked up at him. "Tell me, Robin: Do you still feel the same as when you first met her?"
"There is a sense of mistrust about her. She is your sister. Maybe she's just trying to protect you," said Robin and added softly, "Just as I am trying."
"I think that I shall retire to my room," said Starfire and Robin gave her smile.
Rosefire sat down on the bed and Silverfire came in the door. Why was she acting like this? She never acted like this before.
She looked at him and felt guilty for doing this. Why wouldn't she just tell him when she knew it would make her feel a lot better? Silverfire was the only one she could trust now. Her sister's friends could be trusted too, but she didn't want to get them into this battle. This didn't concern them. So why did she tell them about most of the Heart is she wasn't going to trust them. Warfire was too dangerous for them to fight. She had to get Starfire somewhere safe.
She suddenly felt Silverfire's eyes watching her intensely. She suddenly felt like when they had first met and she had been scared of him. She had always wanted to tell him, but she never did. It was constant battle in her head. She finally decided that this was the best time to tell him.
"I have something that I must tell you," said Rosefire. "My sister is not safe here, and I was thinking of returning her to Tamaran. That would be the best for her for there she would be safe. I think that we can protect her more there than we can on Earth. Warfire has already captured Blackfire in crystalized chamber. This gives him the upper hand and if he gets Starfire then he wins."
"How will be that he wins?" asked Silverfire.
"Starfire has the Heart of Tamaran," said Rosefire, looking down as she said this.
"What do you mean?
"What I mean is I remember when the rebel forces attacked trying to get the Heart. I never forgot that day and wished only to forget. Starfire does not remember because she was too young then. I can see it as if it only happened yesterday and I fear it."
"What happened?"
"It started on one day when the whole family was together and father was not on important business trip. We were all in the garden and I was playing with Starfire. Blackfire was in trouble for making Starfire cry. Next thing I knew there were explosions. Starfire and I were separated from everybody else. We went left from the explosions and met my grandfather. It was his decision to place the Heart in Starfire and I really do not know why. That was when I found out I had the gene."
Flashback
Rosefire smiled as her baby sister came toddling towards her. Blackfire was sitting next to their mother since she had made Starfire cry. Her little brother was sitting on their mother's lap playing with a small toy. Her little sister always seemed to follow Rosefire around.
Rosefire turned to see her mother smiling as the little girl toddled forth to her big sister. Her father was standing there proudly next to their mother. Blackfire was mad since she was trouble and her brother was interested in his toy. Rosefire suddenly took flight and hovered a few inches above her little sister. Starfire giggled as she started to float herself. Then all of a sudden there was an explosion. The next thing Rosefire knew, she was gripping Starfire's hand. She started flying where ever she could. Another explosion, and her sister began to cry. She couldn't find her parents or her younger siblings.
She could see the royal guards hurry towards the explosion. From the sky Rosefire could see the building on fire and then starbolts being fired. She gripped Starfire's hand tighter as they flew. Rosefire decided to land near a building away from the explosions. Her little sister was crying and trembling. Rosefire was scared because she was only five years old at the time.( A/N. She's pretty smart for her age.) She hugged her sister to comfort her, when she suddenly they were approached by a man. Rosefire started to make starbolts, then she realized it was their grandfather.
"Grandfather!" yelled Rosefire as she hugged him.
Starfire stopped crying and hugged him too. He took Starfire in his arms and Rosefire by the hand.
"We have to get out of here and away from the rebel forces. Rosefire I am taking you and your sister to the elders. You should be safe there until we get the attack under control," said their grandfather.
A little bit later, Rosefire was in the elders' palace and sat wit Starfire on her lap. Starfire was beginning to fall asleep. She hoped that her family was alright as she sat there. Her grandfather was greeting the elders as they entered. When the final elder came he was badly wounded and holding a purple crystal in his hand.
"Is that it?" asked their grandfather.
"Yes, Whitefire. We need to hide it somewhere. The rebel forces are after the Heart," said one elder.
"We do not have much time. The rebel forces are heading for us," said another.
"Whitefire looked over at his grandchildren who were sitting on the bench. They were so innocent and young to have this happen. He looked at his youngest grandchild and walked over to Rosefire who still held the sleeping Starfire. He took Starfire out of Rosefire's arms, then took her over to the elders.
"We will place the Heart of Tamaran in my grandchild," said Whitefire.
"In that young girl? But why?" asked one.
"I believe at this time we have no choice," said Whitefire.
Whitefire placed her on the floor and the elders began to surround the little girl. Rosefire watched as what her grandfather was doing.
"Grandfather what are doing?" asked Rosefire.
"Stay back love," said Whitefire.
She was scared for her sister when the elders started to chant. The purple crystal began to float towards the little girl. That is when the doors of the place were burst open.
"Well look what we found: the Heart," said one of the men.
The elders' guards tried to stop the rebels. They couldn't stop the force as they entered the room. Rosefire looked at the men who entered. The Heart was making its way into Starfire's body. The elders were almost finished when several starbolts came past their heads.
"Give us the Heart," said one man as they began to approach the elders.
"No!" said Rosefire and she stepped in the way.
"Look, the little princess wants to stop us."
"Get out of the way child," said a man, then shoved her out of the way.
The men had decided to fire more starbolts when a shield formed around the elders. The elders were doing what little their powers allowed. They couldn't support the shield for very long. Rosefire was mad and she stepped in front of the men again.
"I grow tired of this," said the man and he threw a starbolt at her.
Whitefire saw this but he couldn't break the circle. It was either lose one granddaughter or lose them both. When the smoke cleared, there stood Rosefire with a shield around her. She looked up, scared.
The men suddenly looked scared as they looked at the girl. At the same time reinforcements came and arrested the men. The Heart suddenly went into Starfire who suddenly awoke after it went in. Whitefire looked sadly at his granddaughter, who was crying. Starfire toddled over to her sister and hugged her. That would be last time that she and her sister would live together.
End Flashback
Silverfire sat on her bed as he looked at her then placed his hand on her shoulder. She still was not moving, as if she had fallen asleep.
"We have to get Starfire back home," said Rosefire.
"We will if it gets too dangerous, but for now I believe that she is safe with her friends," said Silverfire.
A little while later
"The message was sent about hour ago," said Robin as he read the jumbled message on the computer screen.
"It could be a trap," said Raven.
"I do not think it would be. I have all ready fallen for one earlier," said Rosefire.
"Still we should investigate the message. It may lead us Warfire," said Robin.
"Okay, why did he send us two message today?" asked Beastboy.
"He is playing a game with us," said Silverfire.
Rosefire was looking at the message but couldn't figure out what it truly meant. There was a location on it but then there was something scrambled on the bottom.
Starfire looked over her sister's shoulder at the message. "Did Warfire truly send this message?"
"It's got Warfire, as you people say, written all over it," said Rosefire.
"Cyborg have you found the location of the hideout?" asked Robin.
"Got it! 315 Ferriel Drive next to some warehouses."
"Titans-," said Robin.
"Sorry, but you will not be going. Silverfire and I will handle this. This is very personal between us," said Rosefire, drawing her sword. The two took flight, off to find Warfire.
"My plan is succeeding. Separating those two from the others was perfect. The others are not strong enough to top me."
In his hand was a copy of the message:
Look for me along Ferriel Drive not before 314 or after 316. I will be there waiting.
