Thank you all for those sweet and inspiring reviews! But don't worry; this fan fic isn't over yet! So without further a due (sp?), I give you….CHAPTER 9!
Starfire looked at her reflection curiously, wondering whether or not she liked the yellow tank top or the blue halter. She looked from one to the other, her eyes shifting back and forth like a felix the cat clock. Starfire smiled over towards Raven who was grazing among the belt section.
"Friend Raven, which do you think is worthy of…"
"Blue." Raven stated simply.
Starfire smiled, "Is yellow too bright?"
Raven shaded her eyes from the 'evil' bright color, "Waaaaay too bright Star."
Starfire nodded her head and grabbed the blue halter top while fumbling through her purse for her wallet. While looking for spare change, Starfire dropped the cloth accidentally and bent over to pick it up. Suddenly, a painful moan escaped from her lips and she straightened her back and rubbed her spine, trying to find the soar spot. Raven saw this and picked up the clothing for her.
"You're probably still hurt from that fall out of the tube." said Raven while she put the halter on the counter.
Starfire winced but gave a weak smile, "That must be it friend Raven, I am sure it will go away soon."
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Starfire looked down at her communicator and raised an eyebrow at Raven as she flipped it open.
"Starfire and Raven, report back to the tower right away. We've got…um…some bad news." Robin said with a worried face.
"What is wrong friend Robin? What seems to be the trouble?" asked Starfire gently, wishing it wasn't Slade again.
"Um….just get here as fast as you can…please?" Robin asked almost nervously.
"We're on our way." Raven said him a calm voice.
Robin closed his communicator and sighed, how could I be so stupid? How did I not see this coming? He asked himself. Robin turned to Cyborg and Beast Boy with a frown, they all looked worried and down.
"How… how are you going to tell her?" asked Beast Boy, his ears drooped down and back.
Robin looked down, "I have no idea…how do you tell someone…"
"Just be careful, talk slowly and use easy to understand words. And hey, you never know, we may find a way out." Said Cyborg gently.
Robin nodded his head without thinking and gulped down a knot in his throat. "I just wish I knew what to say…"
"Greetings friends, what seems to be wrong." Said Starfire as she and Raven walked in. Beast Boy and Cyborg looked away in pain and dead silence filled the room. Starfire looked at her friends with curiosity, but when she looked at Raven, she wore the same "what the hell?" look on her face. Robin was the only person not looking at the floor; he was looking at his angel.
"Starfire, I need to talk to you…alone." Said Robin cautiously.
Starfire looked from face to face for some hint of what was happening, but got no help from the blank faces. She shrugged slightly and followed Robin out of the room and up towards the roof. Starfire went through the door first and Robin looked at Cyborg and Beast Boy before he disappeared around the corner.
"Fill Raven in." Robin stated, but by the look on Raven's face, she had already read someone's mind and found out the truth.
And so began the long and unforgettable walk towards the roof of the titan's tower…
