Chapter 4 – First Comes Heavy Breathing


The whole Tower was lit up as darkness fell outside. Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin were gathered in the living room. They were all talking about the same thing: Starfire. The tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

"So… We all know that Starfire hasn't been seen since this morning," Cyborg said, standing up and pacing around. "And we're all worrying because this has never happened, right?" He paused to look at everyone's reaction. They all nodded, but you could tell that there were different views. Robin looked so forlorn, his head resting on his shoulder. Raven looked calm, but you could catch a glimpse of worry in her eyes. Beast Boy looked like he was about to cry, and kept giving Robin dirty looks. Cyborg was just very tired and wished that she would come back already.

"Robin, tell us again what happened when you last saw her," Raven inquired softly. She, too, wanted to get this over with.

Robin looked up at all of them from his place. He started to speak, but kept fumbling with the words. They kept asking him about it, and it was always the same story. "Well, I asked her about what happened last night, and why she let the thing escape. Then she just grabbed her head and yelled "Stop asking me questions" and ran off. That's all…"

They all sighed and went back to thinking. Robin couldn't take it anymore and stood up. "I'm going to search for Starfire. Alone," he said, and walked off.

"There he goes. It's obvious that he loves her… but maybe he's just being a bit too persistent, don't you think?" asked Cyborg.


Robin smiled at her and took one of her hands after she set her cup down. "Star...what happened last night? We were all knocked out and couldn't see what happened. Why did you let that... thing get away?"

Matsaku brushed his lips across hers, causing her to part hers just slightly. She anticipated this movement of his, but didn't resist. He lifted a hand up to the back of her head, pulling it closer to him. He continued the kiss, wrapping his other arm around her waist, pressing her against a tree and he gently, sweetly ravaged her mouth with his kisses.


As she flew, she fought for consciousness, her vision becoming blurry and black. She continued to fly, but only succeeded for a few more moments before falling out of the sky, plummeting to the ground at a frightfully dangerous speed.


Starfire screamed as she woke from her dream. The noise pierced the darkness around her. That dream felt like a nightmare, like a giant nightmare that was her life. After calming her beating heart down, she viewed her surroundings. It was quiet, and dark. She felt like she was off the ground, and there were things blocking her view. Her limbs ached all over, and it felt like she had a giant lump on her head. She was laying in a very uncomfortable position, things sticking into her back. She moved her body a little and fell down. She screamed again as she hit the ground with a loud thump.

"I……fell….into….a tree……" Starfire said as she stared up into the branches. Her body hurt even more now, her butt the most. She stood up slowly, grabbing onto the tree for support. Her head was spinning violently and it hurt really badly. She paused and let herself recover, then started out towards the Tower. She really wanted to go home and went as fast as she could. She didn't dare fly in fear of falling again. As she went home, she was thinking of seeing someone again.

'Will I ever see Matsaku again?'
