Chapter 3: Let the Battle commence

Raven woke up the next morning earlier than usual. She had had a rough night sleeping. She kept dreaming that Starfire was pushing her off buildings and that she couldn't fly because Starfire had cursed her.

She went to her bathroom and had a hot shower. She got dressed and headed downstairs to make some breakfast. She got out so cereal and put the kettle on the stove for her tea. She placed a herbal teabag in her mug, dark purple of course, and poured the boiling water inside. She placed both hands around the mug and breathed in the aroma from the tea. She then placed that down on the counter and poured some milk and cereal into a bowl, picked up a spoon and began eating. When she was finished she cleared up and went down and sat on the couch and read for a while. About an hour later, everyone else began to stir. Cyborg and Beast Boy were arguing again over bacon or tofu. Starfire was still clinging to Robin's arm and Robin was reading the newspaper. Raven looked over at everyone and saw Starfire smirk and stick her tongue out at Raven. Raven got up and went to the roof to sit for a while. Starfire came up after breakfast and watched Raven silently. Raven stood up and walked over to the edge of the Tower. She looked down into the peaceful lake below. Starfire snuck up behind her and pushed her. Raven stumbled and started to fall. She tried using her powers but they didn't seem to be working. Raven hit the water below hard and went down further and further. Raven couldn't go back into the water, not after the other night. There was something in there that was trying to kill her. It wasn't safe for her. Starfire did not care for this. Starfire started the second part of her plan. She screamed at the top of her lungs and yelled "RAVEN!" she then dived off the top of the tower and swam down to get Raven up. Raven let her bring her up to the surface then slapped Starfire hard across the face.

She pounced on her, pushing Raven under the water again. Raven turned her over and started pushing her again. "Help me!" Starfire yelled. Soon Beast Boy, Robin and Cyborg came running out to see Raven pushing Starfire under the water.

"Raven! Get off her!" Cyborg yelled.

Raven regained her posture and floated upwards and over to the bay. She carried Starfire with her and threw her on the ground. Raven then lifted herself back up and started to glide off. "Don't even think about it little lady! Explain why you were trying to drown Starfire!" Cyborg yelled at her.

"Because she pushed me off the top of the tower then started to drown me!" Raven said to him, trying not to yell.

"She was the one who pushed me. She is lying. I was simply cough cough watching the peaceful weather when she came up behind and cough pushed me!" Starfire said being all pathetic.

"You lying bitch!" Raven screamed at her.

"When has Starfire ever lied Raven? I think it's you who's the liar! Why don't you just admit that you pushed Starfire off the roof?" Beast Boy yelled at her.

"Because I didn't!" Raven said.

"Sure doesn't look that way to me!" Beast Boy retorted back.

"Fine whatever. Believe her like you always do!" Raven yelled at them. She couldn't be bothered to argue. Starfire was winning and they would never believe Raven over Starfire.

Robin however had different thoughts towards the matter. "Since when does Raven deliberately hurt people? I think I need to have a talk to her." Robin thought. He picked up Starfire and put her in her bed. "Sleep for now. Just rest." He said and kissed her on the head. Starfire smiled, knowing she had beaten Raven.

Robin left Starfire's room and headed down the hallway to find Raven. He heard sobbing from inside. He knocked on the door. The sobbing stopped. Raven opened the door. "Come here to shout at me some more?" She asked.

"No actually. I came to see if you were alright." Robin said.

"Oh, yeah. I'm just super. I got wrongly accused and Starfire is winning." Raven put her hand over her mouth. She didn't mean to say the last part out loud.

"What do you mean winning?" Robin asked confused.

"Don't worry. Uhhh, you should go now because Starfire will be needing you. Bye Robin." Raven closed the door in his face. She slid her back down the door. "Starfire will pay." She said under her breath.

The next day Raven spent most of the day in her room. She couldn't work out why Robin wasn't shouting at her and completely ignoring her. He seemed to be the only one that wasn't. But he should have been. He was Starfire's boyfriend. E was supposed to put Starfire's tale before Ravens!

Raven went down to the kitchen to get some herbal tea. Her throat was dry and she was starting to get a headache from dehydration. "Hey Raven. Want any food?" Robin asked smiling at her.

"I'm fine thanks Robin. Shouldn't you be comforting Starfire from her 'near death experience'?" Raven asked.

"She's asleep at the moment."

"Still why are you talking to me? Surely you hate me as I supposedly pushed her." Raven said.

"Yeah, I should do really but I don't know why but I really don't believe you pushed her." Robin said.

"Okay. Then. At least someone here believes me." Raven poured the boiled water into her mug and stirred it.

Raven walked back up the steps to go to the hallways where the bedrooms were. She passed Starfire's room and stopped and looked at it in disgust! Suddenly, a green glow appeared around it and blasted the door off of it. Raven dodged out of the way and saw Starfire quickly scuttle over to be slumped against a wall. Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg came running up the stairs quickly to see Raven standing looking in on Starfire and Starfire slumped against a wall. She 'gained consciousness' even though she wasn't unconscious in the first place, and said in a pathetic voice, "She blew my door off and fired at me." Then she pretended to pass out again. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at Raven with disgust. Robin ran over to pick Starfire up. He rushed her down to the med lab and placed her on a bed. Raven didn't bother following. She would just be had a go at. So he went up to her room. She could not believe Starfire was going to these extreme lengths to make sure that Robin stayed with her. About ½ an hour later, there was a knock on Raven's door. She punched in the code and opened it. Standing there was Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin, all looking at her with disgust. "What is your problem? Why do you hate Starfire? I didn't believe that you pushed her off the roof but I don't know now after seeing the evidence of you blasting the door off and shooting at her with your witchy powers!" Robin yelled at Raven.

Raven simply shut the door on them. "Hiding isn't gonna change our minds Raven! You're as bad as villains we meet every day!" Robin yelled through the door.

She opened the door again. "If that shows that's how to be a villain then that would make Starfire one you idiot!" Raven screamed at him.

"What proof do you have then of Starfire being a villain?" Robin said to her, challenging her to prove him wrong.

"Get Starfire and meet me down in the living area in front of the TV in 5 minutes." Raven said then shut the door on them all.

"FINE!" Robin yelled back at her.

5 minutes later…

Raven walked into the living area to see them all sitting on the couch. She saw Starfire with her head on Robin's shoulder. She claimed she was still in pain from 'Raven's attack'.

Raven walked over and put a tape into the bottom of the TV. She picked up the control and pressed play. The video showed Starfire in bed in her room. It then showed her getting up and creeping over to the door. She then fired up her fire bolts and blasted the door off. It then showed Raven looking in and Starfire running across the room and slumping against the floor. A few moments later it showed Cyborg, robin and Beast Boy running into the room.

Raven rewound the tape to the part where Starfire ran across the room. She did this a few times. Starfire looked like she was going to explode because she had been found out. Everyone else's mouths were wide open in shock. Robin pushed Starfire off of his shoulder and stood up. "Starfire? Why?" He asked.

"Because I was afraid of loosing you to that emotionless freak!" She said, pointing a finger at Raven.

"I'm not emotionless anymore Starfire. In case you hadn't noticed, I got new cloaks letting me show emotions!" Raven said crossing her arms.

"Starfire, I think it would be best if you just left." Robin said.

"But Robin, I love you. Do you not love me?" Starfire said pleading.

"Not anymore, I haven't done any way for a few weeks now. But this had just made things worse. I don't think I even like you anymore. You lied Starfire! You're not the Starfire I knew!" Robin turned around not wanting to look at her.

"but…" She pleaded.

"JUST GO!" Robin yelled.

Starfire floated slowly up the stairs. "Call Titans East. Say that Bumblebee and Starfire are to swap. Do not tell them why just say because we need to try new tactics or something." Robin said.

"I'm on it." Cyborg said.

Starfire floated back down with all her things. "Where am I to go?" She said, looking up.

"Titans East have agreed to exchange you for bumblebee. You are to go there." Robin said, not once looking at her.

"I shall leave now." Starfire said.

No one said goodbye or showed any sign of her being there.

Starfire floated outside into the rain. She flew over the lake and looked back on the Tower. She flew down and landed outside the doors of the Titans East location. Someone grabbed her and pulled her to the side into an alleyway. It was Slade. "Do you seek revenge on Raven?" He asked simply.

"Yes." She said.

"Follow me and you will get it." Slade said in his evil tone of voice.

"But, you will harm no one else. Only Raven?" Starfire asked, pulling away from his grasp on her arm.

"I give you my word that I will not harm anyone else apart from Raven." Slade said, a wide smirk appearing under his mask,

Starfire nodded and followed him. Little did she know that he had a twist to the deal.

Back at the tower…

"Speedy, has Starfire arrived with you yet? Bumblebee is here safe and sound." Cyborg asked over a communicator.

"No she has not." Speedy replied.

"Inform us when she does." Cyborg signed off.

He thought it strange that Starfire had not arrived there yet. He went and told Robin. "Dude, Star isn't at the Titans East headquarters yet. Should I send someone to check where she is?" Cyborg asked,

"Leave her. Maybe she had the sense to return to her home world." Robin said.

"I sure hope I never have to see her again." Robin said to himself.

Was it good? i hope so. next one will be out soon.
