Fall to Pieces

Chapter Five: Fallen Star

By: Angel Vanilla

Dannonspring: Yes, I was planning on making Robin and Raven get together at the wedding (with a little matchmaking on Cyborg and Bumblebee's part). And actually, it wasn't Beast Boy who I was going to make get drunk. It was someone else…

Miko101: Here's your update. : )

WhiteChocolateWyvern: I'm going to try and add a bit of happiness to the story, but this chapter is going to be kind of sad… I'm sorry! But happiness will come next chapter (Beast Boy's chapter). And then the wedding!

Jix: I'm glad you enjoy my story!

Ap Gato: I'm glad that you (and your muse) like my story!

Thank you all for reading and reviewing!

There is a quote in there, a very well-known quote, and the first three people to figure out what it is all get Teen Titans plushies!

Genre(s): Romance/Angst/Drama

Pairing(s): Raven/Robin, Starfire/Speedy, Cyborg/Bumblebee, Beast Boy/Terra

Story Summary: The Titans are falling apart, and one by one, they're leaving.

Chapter Summary: Starfire left the Titans without a word. What happened to her/What about Robin and Raven?

Note(s): I'm sorry that the last chapter was so short. I just got writer's block. It's hard for me to write about anyone except for Raven and Robin, really. Sometimes some drabble focused on the other characters, but it takes a while.

Kori Anders stared longingly at the sunny day through the window of the classroom she was in. Her notebook was filled with pictures and doodles of her friends and their former homethe friends and home that she ran away from.

Her friends hadn't issued a missing report, and if they had, they had given up early. They'd all left Jump City a few weeks ago, just before Kori Anders learned that she'd been accepted to a fashion design school, where she was now.

At first, Kori had been utterly confused by their language and slang without her friends there to explain it. She was also constantly messing up with her grammer and slang, but everyone just laughed it off and then corrected her. She fit right in.

Despite the fact that everyone welcomed her with open arms, she never felt truly happy without her old friends, and her old life, fighting crime. Because Kori Anders used to be the super-heroine named Starfire.

But that was before she'd left…

"Hey, c'mon, Kori!" A fellow classmate, Jen, called. "Class is over! We're all going to see a movie—want to come with?"

A smile crept across Kori's face for the first time since she'd left all those weeks ago. It wasn't a completely happy smile, as it was tinged with sadness, but it was a smile none the less.

Slowly, she nodded, and stood.

"That would be most glorious, Friend Jen," Kori told her, and walked out after her friend.

Although the Titans had been her friends, and very good friends, too, they were only memories now. Kori was normal now, she didn't belong with the team now, if they even still were a team. She had a normal life now.

And with that thought, Kori walked out of the classroom without a backward glance…

Angel Vanilla- I was going to end it here, but I'm afraid that I've been making my chapters too short. So off to Robin and Raven's stories we go!

Richard Grayson, formerly known as Robin, had gotten letters from three of his friends, which he was currently reading. Instead of listening to his mentor telling him of the cases they were going to have to investigate as Batman and Nightwing.

Yo Rob,

I got Attack of the Ninja Monkey Robots Part 12 yesterday. It's been out for only two days, but you should get a copy. It's fun!

Still no progress on the cure for Terra. We'll come see you all once she's…awake. So don't die on me—you'd better be there if I decide to show up randomly. Who knows—I could be on my way there right now…

Nah, man. Just kidding.

See you,

BB

Hey Rob,

What's up, man? How are things in Gotham? Please tell me you don't already have Attack of the Ninja Monkey Robots Part 12! BB just got it yesterday, and he called me to gloat about it.

I know this might seem a little…awkward, but…do you have any idea where Star went? I'm pretty sure she didn't go back to Tamaran…

Still coming to the wedding? You'd better be there, otherwise I'm gonna hunt you down and—well, we won't get into that…

See ya at the wedding,

Cy

Robin,

You'd better not be dead, in a coma, or grievously injured. If you are, then I'll 1, bring you back to life and maim you, 2, bring you out of your comatose state and maim you, and/or 3, heal you and then maim you.

Don't obsess over Slade. From what we know—he's dead. Don't worry about him, promise me that. If you do, then I'll maim you for that, as well as your other various penalties as listed above.

Ask Bruce if he still has that book that Shaso gave him—he'll know what I mean. Just ask him. And tell him that when he sends it to use my real name. He'll know that, too.

Don't get killed, don't get hurt, don't obsess, and don't worry,

Raven

Robin smiled down at the paper in his hands as Bruce commenced talking.

"…and then we have the Warner murder case to handle, which we suspect the Lucky 13 gang to be involved in, and then we have that—"

"Raven told me to ask if you still had that book that Shaso sent you," Rick cut him off, which was rare. Bruce blinked, and nodded.

"Yes, why? Did she write?" Bruce asked. A few years ago, Bruce's old friend Shaso had brought Raven to live with them, since her own planet was not safe anymore. (Bruce had once been to Azarath, which is where he met Shaso.)

"Yeah, it came this morning," Rick said. "She also said to tell you to send it and when you did, to use her real name."

Bruce nodded. "Remind me later to go get that. And were you listening to a word I said?"

Rick merely replied with, "I'll take the Warner case now, and handle Sasha's Jewelry robbery case after lunch."

Bruce shook his head in disbelief. "I'm still not sure how you do that, Rick."

"Elementary, my dear Bruce." Rick said, smiling. He stood, and went back to his room to put on his costume.

It was going to be a long day…

Briony Eddon sighed in frustration, unable to maneuver around the young man in front of her.

"Matthew, please move—"

"Why, Bri?" The blonde haired boy asked, grinning at her, his green eyes shining.

"I have to get to class—"
"You can stand to be a few minutes late, Bri."

"Move, Matthew." Briony demanded. "Now." Her eyes flashed from violet to white, rimmed with black. The boy, Matthew, moved aside quickly, recognizing the signs of her about to use one of her incantations.

"Thank you, Matthew." Briony said calmly, acting as if nothing had happened. Stepping inside of the room a few paces away, she took her seat in the front of the room, and took out her Edna's Theory of Eternity, and waited for her professor.

Briony Eddon was the young lady formerly known as the gothic heroine, Raven. Now she attended Jade City University, and was also taking the Mage's courses—the magic classes. This, combined with the normal required classes were enough to drive her insane with work.

One of the Mage's classes she was taking now was General Magics, which she was now in.

Finally, the teacher, Mr. Cortelli, presented himself, and then took role.

"Today, we're going to study Eternity Stones. Please turn to page 726, and read chapter 22." He said. The class did as instructed.

While absentmindedly absorbing the information, Briony thought about her old friends. She'd sent a letter to each of them, and was awaiting their responses.

But she knew she couldn't hold on much longer—she would have to confront her father, and defeat him. If he was beaten, she would be able to show emotion, but if he was not, she would either die, or take over the world and kill everyone.

Briony shuddered, and then focused as a lamp blew up in the background.

Angel Vanilla: I'm sorry that was such a horrid chapter! I didn't end that very well, and I'm very sorry for not updating sooner! Please review on your way out; flames are welcome. And remember the quote!
