A/N: So It's been a while since I've updated, but I hadn't exactly had internet accses for the last few weeks, then we got cable modem. Also, my Grandma has been out of town, because her mom is sick. Then my Grandpa's brother died suddenly at his home. I didn't know him that well, but he had come over for Thanksgiving every year. I will miss him. Then there was Christmas, with Grandma out of the state, all the respobnsibility for holiday meals went to my Mom and sisters, and myself. Just been really busy, but I know that really isn't a excuse, and I should have made time to write.

On a different note, were any of you listening to "Adventures in Oddesey"? On December 4? Scott Menville (ifthat'show you spell his name...), the guy who plays Robin was voicing P.J. One of the charctors in that adventure. It was kinda weird, one sister and I had a hard time acctually paying attention to the adventure, we were lauing so hard. You might be able to listen to the episode over the internet. It was called: "And That's the Truth" or somthing like that. You might be able to find it somewhere on:

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. Nor do I own "Adventures in Oddesey" which I mentioned above.

Matched Chapter 13

Dream? Or Nightmare.


For the last twelve hours Blackfire had been seeing to the task of monitoring the computers with the cameras and microphones. Twas' a tedious task, and she had spent most of the time being board. All the prisoners had done was eat and eat and talk.

Sure, Starfire had run a tempiture, had almost blown her boy-friend to bits, but that was no surprise... Of course they had rested, but for the most part, they spent most of their time talking. They didn't even talk about anything interesting, mostly reveiwing what had already happened to them.

Yes, they had talked about making plans, but they hadn't really made any progress. Boring. Soon Slade would take over the monitoring, and Blackfire would be free to go sleep, and have some fun.

'There's the difference between me and Slade. I just want to have fun, he wants world domination. Sure I'd like to control the planet as much as the next person, and get revenge, but I don't want to kill... Not to kill everyone that is...' She thought, muffleing a little laugh.

Giving her attention back to the screen, she watched her little sister, and Robin having another disscussion about what they were going to do, great, now she acctualy had to pay attention. Robin grinned a boyish grin and stood. Blackfire watched as he walked over to the shower enclosure.

As the dark Tamerainian girl realized what he was up to, she rose to full alertness. When she saw Robin's gloved hand motion for Starfire to join him, Blackfire knelt to press a button on the control panal. Slade had told her to press that button if She thought she needed too. She and her master had decided the shower would have no cameras, and had simply decided not to put in a microphone...

It hadn't been more than two minutes from the time she had sent for Slade, then he was there. "Your shift isn't over for another half an hour! Why do you bother me?" Slade demanded an answer.

"Cool it. I acctually have a reason. Remember how we decided not to put survailence in the shower, well Robin and Starfire are in there now, most likely making a plan. I thought you should know."

"It doesn't matter. When they get out I'll deal with them." He assured her.

"You mean, when they get out of the shower?" Blackfire asked.

"Yes. You will see." Slade said.

"Yes master." She replied an uneasy tone in her voice.

"I'll take over, you can go now." Slade reileved her of her duties.

"Yes master. Thank you master." Blackfire said, pivoting around t'word the door. Once Blackfire was out of the room, Slade pressed the tips of his gloved fingers together letting out a sinister laugh. Everything was going exactly to one plan- His plan." Mwa ha ha!"


"Ha! This is fun, but I've got soap in my eyes. How 'bout now, if you throw it in the face you lose a point!" Robin exclaimed merrily. Over the last half an hour or so, he had completely forgotten where he was.

All he had ever wanted was for the moment his, why even try to think about the danger that seemed for the time, gone. You see, shortly after deciding the small shower was too small for their soap sud fight, they went out into the room. Even though the floor was slimy with soapy water, and almost every surface was covered in water, both Robin and Starfire didn't want this moment to end.

Starfire picked up some soap suds and threw them Robin's way. Halfway to him the sudds just kinda lost their thrust and fell to the ground, forming a pile slimy sop bubbles on the floor. Both Robin and Starfire instantly burst out in laughter.

It hadn't been long before their game acctually had rules, and a point system. Robin had descovered that without his shoes, he could easily slide on the soapy concrete floor, he would just have to be carefull he didn't slip. Since Starfire's powers still wern't working, she slid around on her feet as well.

The hour hand of the clock pointed to 11, the minute hand pointed to 39. It was getting late, and even though both Robin and Starfire didn't dare stop playing with the soap. Though unspoken, both knew this happieness couldn't last forever, and as soon as they declared the soap war over, they would have to clean up their huge mess of soap and water, they would have to go to sleep, then the next morning they would have to go back to sitting at the table, or they could thuroly search the room, but both of those were solom options. Best to just keep playing.

Slipping and sliding across the floor throwing soap suds at each other, laughing all the time. This contuned for another 30 minutes or so, until Robin collapsed face down on the floor, crushing a pile of suds. Alarmed, Starfire rushed to his side. His body lay almost compleatly still, but he was still breathing.

As Starfire turned his body over, she realized he was snoring. Robin was asleep!

'Why I have kept him up too late! I will have to tell him I am sorry in the morning, but shall I move him into the chair now, or let him sleep on the ground?' She asked herself. After breif thought, she desided it would be best to move him to the chair.

Unfortunately, Starfire was unable to summon her alien strength, plus, from the lack of training over the last several days, and the extra fast food, Robin had gained a great deal of weight. She stood for a moment, deep in thought. Making her way toword the bedd, she removed the blanket. After laying the blanket on Robin's sleeping body, she herself lay down on the bed.


It was not long before Starfire fell asleep. At first, her dreams were peacful. She drempt she was back at the tower. She saw Beast Boy and Cyborg playing Game Station, both claiming to be victorious. She saw Raven sitting quietly on the couch, reading a book. In her dream, she turned around.

There stood Robin. He smiled a reassuring smile. He took her hand in his, and led her out of the room. Suddenly, everything was black. Then Robin was still there, the only thing she could see, and he was still holding her hand. "I'll never let go." He wispered. "Don't be afraid. I'll always be here for you." "I don't want you to ever go." Starfire replied.

Then, Robin faded away. Starfire found herself in that dreadful prison. That room she had not been able to leave, The room she and Robin had had the soap fight, but yet she dreaded it. It was cold, and the lights were off, but yet, there was a faint green light. Next, not by any command she had given to herself she looked down to see her hand glowing with her starbolt power.

Although she wanted to lay back down, Starfire found herself standing up. Telling herself to lay back down, she felt a sharp pain inside her, in her head, her arms, legs, feet and everywhere. Starfire stopped trying to control herself and the pain went away.

As soon as she had given in, her body walked tward the table."Wha!" She exclaimed, unable to contain her wonder...and her fear. She told herself to sit on the floor, but she could not contol her body.

The pain within herself returned, even more sharp then ever before. "Stop!" She comanded herself out loud, as a tear rolled down her face, but she could not stop. Her hand began glowing a brighter green. Looking into a puddel of water, she saw that her eyes burned with green fire. The fear built up inside her the pain worsened, and she could not stop her actions.

Then in the dim green light she saw Robin's sleepinbg body laying there on the floor. "NOOOOO!!!!!!!" Starfire screemed in a last effort to regain control, trying to fight herself. Suddenly, Robin awoke.

"Starfire! What? No, Star don't!" Robin exclaimed fear, confusion and horror. More tears streamed down Starfire's face. Though fighting all she could, her right arm lifted itself, her right hand glowing much brighter than before. Robin sat on the ground, unable to move, not unable to move because he couldn't, but because he was shocked.

The Starbolt fired. Robin flew through the air, hitting his head on one of the concrete walls, falling unconsious. Starfire's body fired a starbeam on Robin, Starfire fighting herself all the time.

Then in a blink of an eye, the pain within her left. Starfire commanded herself to move her arm. It moved. She had control again. Whether she had herself overcome, or if the thing controling her had let go, she had control of herself.

She ran to Robin. He showed no signs of life, but then she saw he was still breathing. Starfire backed away, staggering back to the bed, her knees buckled beneath her in the middle of the floor, and she fell to the ground.

Then she cried. The dream had ended. The nightmare had started. This was all too real.

Starfire cried herself to sleep that night. She slept with her hair laying in a puddle of soapy water, from that joyful water fight that had ended just two hours before.


A/N: You know how hard to type this was? Well whenever I typed the "n" this stinking keaypad typed both a "n" and a "b". Talk about annoyibng... Oops, that's annoying. If I made some spelling mistakes, but our word check isn't working. If you're interested, I'd like to answer somereveiws now:

kxzyt: I thank you for calling me cool. You know, It's really nice when somone besides my mom calls me cool.

Anonomys: I rock! Cool!

Everyone Who mentioned the "T-Cycle" is the R-cycle: You know, at first, I just made a mistake, but someone else made an even bigger mistake! Guess who: The Toy company! The company who makes the Teen Titans action figures made the mistake of calling the R-Cycle the T-Cycle! Also they called the T-car the "Turbo Mobile", and made the colors red and yellow! Isn't that just so funny!

Annyway, did you like the chapter? I enjoyed writing it, mostly. Well, whatever you

think, I'd like to hear it. So press the reveiw button, and I'll be greatful. )
