OK! This chappie is kinda short but action-packed, I promise. See? I'm getting good at this I'll-update-tomorrow-I-promise thing. Anyways, read, review, tell me what you think.

Teen Titans doesn't belong to me. As you've hopefully all figured out by now.


"STARFIRE!"

Raven gasped for breath, her eyes wide and startled. Her call brought the other Titans rushing to her side, waiting for an answer.

"Raven! What? Did you find her? Where is she?" Robin shook Raven's shoulders in hopes of actually shaking an answer out of her.

"Jump City High…downtown…"

Robin and the others were on their way already, running faster than light, leaving Raven (the teleporter, by coincidence) behind.

THUD. The hatchet had landed exactly where Starfire had sat about a second earlier. She had rolled to her side, gasping and terrified. Seeing that he had missed, Andrew tugged at the hatchet and pulled it from between the broken tiling, then raised it over his head again, swinging it at her wildly as she scrambled backwards, half-flying, half-crawling.

"Get back here!" Andrew yelled as Starfire rolled over and began to hover about 3 feet above the ground, but still pretty fast for someone with a broken leg. This time, in rage, he tossed the hatchet at her, but missed closely. It hit one of the mirrors, shattering it instantly, and then fell underneath the sinks. Star simply hovered over it, but Andrew was left to find a way around it; all the better for her.

She quickly turned a corner, out of the now-confirmed girls' locker room, and sped off in search of the exit, or her purse, whichever she found first. After taking a door into what happened to be the janitor's closet, Star again darted around looking for the main hall (anywhere but the janitor's closet; even Starfire knew from all of those movies that janitors' closets are the first places the killers look).

She turned left, then right, then left again, but each seemed to just lead into an empty chem. lab or the teacher's lounge. She looked around and then locked herself in. In the lounge, which was about the size of one of the history classrooms she had turned into, Star took a quick break, leaning against a wall. She tried to breathe, clear her head, ignore the searing pain in her head and leg. Raven, come on, I need you, PICK UP! I'm at this guy's school! He'll find me any minute now, he knows it much better than I do…

Outside of the door, a sound that were unmistakably footsteps quickened behind, opening doors, then slamming them, and running fast.

"STARFIRE!"
Starfire gasped in horror. He was looking for her, was about to corner her. Confirming her worst suspicions, she peered just out the window of the teacher's lounge that looked out into the hall and saw a tall, dark figure…or figures, it looked like there were 3 of them...No, honey, that's a side affect of the fever, you can't see straight!. That's him! RUN!

Seeing her only way out, Starfire began to float, and quickly spotted another window-this one leading outside, thank God-that she could take. She bolted for it, trying to open it, and after a good 30 seconds of trying but failing to open it, the figure came to the door. Starfire turned; there he was, Andrew was there, was going to kill her, she couldn't fight him off, she was too weak-

He banged on the door. "STARFIRE!"

Panicked, she gave up on trying to open the window-shoving the leg that wasn't broken through it, she created a small hole that was lined with broken, jagged glass and raced desperately through it as she sped off, losing air, and momentum, through the campus. As she passed through the hole, Andrew also shoved through the door, and she could hear the thud of the door being kicked open as she flew.

The auditorium was close by, only a few more yards-panting, Star pushed through the doors and flew up to the stage, looking to drop back behind the curtains, where she could catch her breath for maybe a moment-

"Hello, Starfire. Miss me?"

Andrew emerged from the curtains just as she reached them, holding another syringe, and advancing on her as she drew back in horror.

"As you'll soon notice, this isn't filled with a drug that will just knock you out. No, I'm being nice, I'm filling it with liquid cyanide, you'll die instantly, you won't have to suffer. See? I'm a nice guy. I'm sparing you a lot of pain." As he said this, he gave a small push on the thumb lever and some of the cyanide squirted out. Starfire fell back. He was leaning over her now—

"STARFIRE!" Robin yelled as he, Cyborg, and Beast Boy burst through the auditorium doors, running as fast as they possibly could, about to jump in front of her and beat the crap out of Andrew. As Andrew looked up in surprise, Starfire took her chance; moving her only available leg (the broken one, as her other leg was bent in an angle that would have made this move take much longer) behind her, and then forcing it forward against Andrew's shins, she hit him hard as she screamed in the effort and pain that it took to make her attack. He fell backwards, dropping the syringe a few feet from him, but grabbed the curtains as he stumbled and pulled himself back up.

Robin led the others towards him, Star was closest but in too much pain to be of assistance; she was clutching her leg and screaming, and Andrew had scrambled forward and grabbed the syringe again, and lurched at her again when his foot was caught up from behind and he was dropped backwards by a smoky black aura, then picked up again from behind and was dangling about 10 feet in the air. Raven materialized through the stage floor, a cold, merciless look on her face as she faced Andrew, who was dangling from midair. Standing between him and Starfire, she looked at him cruelly as struggled to get loose of Raven's grip.

But just when Raven was about to throw her most painful but justifiable curse at him, she heard a small, stuttering, sobbing voice from behind her say, "Let me take care of him." In her surprise to hear Starfire speak, she turned around to look at her friend and lost her concentration. Andrew dropped, but before he hit the ground he was hit by a starbolt that knocked him into one of the side columns, where he fell unconscious.

Checking to make sure that Andrew was down, Raven ran to Starfire, who was now being looked over by the rest of the gang.

Her face was dirty, her hair straggly and matted with blood and other things they probably didn't want to know about, her sweater and jeans torn, and her leg bent at such an odd angle that it had to be broken; but because she was alive, and back among her friends she was the most beautiful thing Robin had ever seen. As she breathed heavily and fell unconscious, looked on by her teammates, Robin quickly issued the orders; Cyborg picked up Andrew, Beast Boy got the car, Raven did a quick pain-removal spell-thingy that at least put Star's leg in the correct position, and Robin picked her up and carried her out to the T-Car. They were met by the flustered and tired-looking police, to whom they handed over Andrew, and then quickly returned to the car and drove off the Tower.
