Starfire sat on the edge of the roof of T-Tower. Her head was raised towards the stars glistening in the sky. She sighed deeply. I will have to leave tonight, She thought. The titans didn't need her. They had said so themselves. W-well I don't need them either, she thought with tears in her stunning emerald eyes…
Flashback
Starfire was slammed against the stone wall and fell to the ground. She picked herself up but stopped when she felt pain shoot up her leg. "Ah!" she cried, but tried again. She lifted herself to hover above the ground. "Starfire, come on!" She flew towards a seemingly oblivious Slade and started to form a starbolt. But as she drew closer, a force stopped her. She couldn't move, couldn't call out. She just hovered, arms to her side. "Starfire don't just stand there! Get him!" Robin called out. But Slade ran past her and was gone before anyone could stop him. Starfire felt the strange force leave her and she flew towards the others. "Friends! I'm sorry I…" she started. "Save your excuses Star." Robin said coldly. "You had a clear view and target of him but you just stood there. " He walked off followed closely by the other who in turn looked at her with disappointment.
Again and again Starfire felt this force come over her and freeze her entire body when fighting Slade. It only happened around Slade too. Her friends grew suspicious. Star tried to explain what was happening but to no avail. Everyone avoided her. Finally, it grew to be too much for Robin. "Starfire why don't you ever fight him!" he raged at her. "All you do is stand there and watch us do the work! For all we know, you could be working for him and using us! Get out of here Star! We don't need this! We don't need you!" Starfire stood, shocked and deeply hurt. She looked to the others for help but they glared coldly and turned away.
Flashback over
Star looked around at the rooftop for the last time. She held back tears as she climbed to the edge, sack over her shoulder. Star closed her eyes and fell. Star free-fell down towards the ocean. She caught herself and then soared up into the night sky. Leaving everything she knew and loved behind. She felt anger boil up inside of her. Strong anger at herself, her so-called friends, Robin… Starfire shot through the air wanting to get away. She never wanted to return.
