Chapter 4
It had been almost two weeks since Terra had arrived at Titan Tower, and ever since then, Seth had made fast friends with the most unlikely person, Beast Boy. At first Seth had just been plain annoyed with the little green teen. But gradually he had learned to accept the changelings constant questions about his past and what Terra was like as a kid. Terra was tha only reason that Seth had had any association with Beast Boy, and even though he still loathed her to the end of time, he couldn't help but be slightly thankful to her.
The entire team was in the state of the art training room one afternoon, they were trying to see if Terra was as good in combat as she was with tricks. They were using what is called hard light. They could use this to construct any situation and any person necessary. Right now, they were seemingly on top of the tower. Seth and Starfire were just standing back chatting while Robin, Cyborg, Terra, Beast Boy, and Raven were fighting with reconstructions of Mammoth, Jinx, and Gyro. Jinx was fighting with Terra who was having some difficulty, Robin and BB were fighting Mammoth, and Cyborg and Raven had just finished off Gyro and went to join Seth and Star at the side of the tower. " Aaaahhh!!!" shouted Terra as she was hit with a blast of Jinx's pink energy.
"Terra!!!" Screamed BB who was promptly slammed into the fire exit by Mammoth. Robin found an opening when BB was slammed and easily finished off Mammoth and went off to join everyone else.
" Cy, give Terra an opening," Robin told his big blue companion.
" Gotcha," said Cyborg, walking over to the control panel and causing the hard light Jinx to to throw a sloppy, badly aimed puch at Terra. Terra took the opening and started to pound her enemy with all kinds of puches, kicks and boulders. Once Jinx was officially unable to fight, Cy deactivated the hard light and everyone began walking out of the training room.
"Seth please, please smile," Starfire begged him using her cutest puppy dog face.
" Cute," Seth stated apathetically, " but not cute enough. " Seth flashed her a smirk. All of a sudden, an alarm sounded.
" We've got trouble, " Robin shouted, " It's Killer Moth, He decided to let his swarm loose again. Titans Go!!" So everyone charged out of the tower. Seth, Raven, and Starfire jumped out the window, Seth pulling out his lighter and summoning a flying disc of flame. While Beast Boy, Terra, Robin and Cyborg headed down to the garage and got into the T-car.
( Downtown )
Once they got downtown, they realized just how big Killer Moth's swarm was. The air was so thick with rabid moths that it was almost impossible to see. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!!" Raven shouted. A small pole on the suspension bridge snapped out of place, and began to swat moths left and right. Cyborg was using his cannon to blast whatever he could see which was almost nothing but moths. Terra was squashing moths everywhere, throwing boulders around like bowling balls. BB was currently a pteranadon and was trying to eat the moths. Seth and Starfire however were doing the most damage. Star was like a human bug zapper, she had formed a field of energy around herself and was destroying every moth that came near her. Seth was sending out giant streams of fire, burning hundreds of moths every second.
Unnoticed by the Titans, Killer Moth managed to slip into the fray and smash straight into Raven. This sent her sailing, face first into Robin. When she finally hit him, their lips locked. At first, they were both surprsied, but they stayed like that for several seconds and then broke apart. "Sorry about that, " Raven said hastily, before rejoining the battle. Even though it was only for a short time, Starfire saw the whole thing and immediatly lost her focus. This was a bad idea because presicely at that moment, rabid moths started ramming into her and biting her skin, drawing blood.
" Aaaaahhhhh!!" She screamed as she realized what was happenning. Suddenly, she felt extremely hot and realized that she could see nothing but orange as the moths covering her body were incinerated.
" You might want to keep your mind on the fight Star. " Seth said from somewhere to her side. Seeing that there was no way that he and his minions could win this fight, Killer Moth backed off and flew back to his lair.
" Thank you friend Seth for saving me, " Starfire said sadly.
" No problem, " Seth said then he noticed that she seemed sad, " hey, is something wrong? You sound depressed."
" No, nothing is wrong, " Star said, putting on a happy face and using a cheery voice. " now let us get back to the tower so that we might join in eating dinner.
" O.K. then," Said Seth. He knew that Starfire was lying, and he wanted to find out what was wrong with her.
( Titan Tower )
Seth had been the last one to arrive at the tower, so by the time he got there, dinner had already been decided upon. It turned out that they were having pizza pockets, Seth's favourite food.
Seth simply walked up to the freezer, grabbed out a box of pizza pockets, and walked into the kitchen while pulling out his lighter. The rest of the group had already been to the freezer and was crowded around the microwave. Seth chuckled at them as they waited for their food to heat up, he unwrapped a few of the little pieces of bread filled with delicious pizza-ee goodness and heated them to perfection with his lighter in seconds. He savoured the small amount of time that it took to digest his dinner. When he was finished he noticed that Starfire wasn't there. " Hey, have any of you seen Starfire?" He asked the group that was gorging themselves at the table.
" Yeah, she grabbed a few pockets then went to her room, she looked pretty bummed out. " Beast Boy said.
"Thanks BB, " Seth said before heading off to Stars room. When he reached her door he activated the intercom. " Star, it's Seth, can I come in?" He asked.
" Yes, enter," Said star gloomily, she sounded as if she had been crying. Seth walked into her room and was assaulted by the bright colours that Starfire surounded herself with.
" You okay? " Seth asked the alien princess.
" Yes, I am fine, what makes you think that anything is wrong?"
" Oh, nothing, just the fact that you're trying to eat a frozen pizza pocket. Here" Seth took the aforementioned food item from her and heated it up with a good sized flame from his lighter before returning it to the depressed tameranian.
" Thank you, " Star said before she devoured the pizza pocket. She then swallowed her food and decided to tell Seth what had happened. She told him everything she had seen. Then she began to cry, " I thought that he liked me, I even thought that I loved him, but not anymore..." She trailed off. Seth was at a loss for words, he couldn't think of anything to say to console the crying young woman in front of him. As he observed her, he began to pity her then something inside him snapped and he wrapped his arms around her and began to cradle her in his lap. She flinched at his touch but then relaxed into it. When she looked up at Seth, she saw something that she never expected. Seth Sin had a soft smile plastered on his face.
