Chapter 28

"I do not understand," Starfire said as they headed to where the battle had taken place. "I suggested that we retrieve the crown, so why are we not going to the throne room where it is located?" Robin bit his lip. Did she really have no idea? Maybe it was some psychological thing where the fact that she had killed someone was so traumatic that her mind couldn't handle it and just blocked it out.

Robin had a sudden urge to grab Starfire around the waist, hoist her up over his shoulder, and carry her away before she could discover what she'd done. She was so innocent . . .

"Don't you remember?" Beast Boy's obnoxious voice broke through Robin's panicked thoughts. The hairs on Robin's neck stood up straight; oh no. Beast Boy wasn't thinking, he would blurt out the truth not even thinking about what it would do to Starfire to realize what she had done.

"Remember what?" Starfire asked, turning back to her green friend. She tilted her head quizzically, which surprised Beast Boy. She genuinely didn't know.

"Well, Kendrick was wearing it, you know, and so now in order for Ry . . . uh . . . Ryan to wear it, they have to kind of get it from him, remember?" Beast Boy said.

"Kendrick!" Starfire's eyes lit up at the name. "Was he apprehended? For some reason, I cannot recall what happened. Is he in captivity now? I hope he has learned his lesson."

"Oh, he learned his lesson alright," Beast Boy continued on, oblivious to what he was about to do to the innocent, naive, and carefree girl.

He was going to destroy her.

'Beast Boy, stop!' Raven screamed in his mind, but it was too late.

"You annihilated him, Star!" His voice was actually chipper. "I can't believe you don't remember this, it was amazing. I didn't know you had it in you."

"I . . . I what?" Starfire's entire body began to quiver. Beast Boy continued to not notice and he babbled on.

"I have no idea how you did it, but all of a sudden, it was like you just let loose! You saw that Robin went down, and next thing I knew, you were generating this powerful green light, it was like one giant super star bolt, and you just threw it at him! He didn't stand a chance, he was, like, dead immediately. Seriously, it was awesome!"

"Dead?" It came out as a strangled, horrified whisper. Starfire was shaking uncontrollably and violently now, and if Robin hadn't been there to support her, she would have sunken to the ground. Cyborg slapped his hand over Beast Boy's mouth as Raven glared daggers at him.

"Hey!" Beast Boy said, muffled. He pushed Cyborg's hand away. "What's your deal?" He finally noticed Starfire. "Whoa, are you okay?"

"I killed him?" Finally, it clicked, and Beast Boy realized what he'd done.

"Whoa, wait, no, Star, you didn't . . . like . . . kill him . . . you just . . . stopped him, you know?" But it was no use.

"Starfire," Robin said, struggling to sound calm and soothing. "It's okay . . ." Suddenly, Starfire stopped shaking, and pulled away from Robin.

"I killed him." She turned, and saw the body lying only twenty feet away from her, Halen standing next to it and polishing the silver crown, ridding it of the bad karma from being worn by an evil villain. The Titans waited for her to pass out, or have some sort of emotional reaction, but she didn't. She just stared.

Ryand'r approached her. Because they had a familial bond, he knew that she was not looking upon her conquest proudly. He could tell she was in shock.

"You did this?" he asked, his voice careful. She nodded. He stood next to her, and they both looked on in silence, their faces emotionless. The Titans knew to stay back, even Beast Boy. Well, he only knew because Raven was mentally berating him, but even so.

"That makes you a hero," Ryand'r said, finally breaking the silence. Starfire finally tore her eyes away from the sight to look at her little brother. He noticed with a pang that her eyes were glassy.

"Then why do I not feel like one?" she asked in a small voice. Another moment of silence passed as the siblings turned their attention back to the body. "I am a killer."

"No." Ryand'r looked back to Starfire, but she didn't meet her gaze. She continued to stare at what she had done. He put his hand on her shoulder. "Would you have just let him go, if you did it over again?" She shook her head, still not looking at him.

"But I would not have killed him."

"He would have died anyway. His actions are punishable by death by Tamaranean law. And not just that, but it was discovered that Kendrick was the one who helped the Psions kidnap you." Starfire finally looked at him, startled. Ryand'r nodded. "He was in charge of you at the time, and apparently he thought that if he assisted the Psions by handing you and our sister over to them, they were in turn help him take over Tamaran."

"It this true?"

"He deserved his death. He was almost responsible for yours. As well as Komand'r's, and Robin's." He paused to let this sink in, before repeating his original point. "That does not make you a killer. That makes you a hero."

"Thank you." Starfire hugged her brother. "You will make a glorious Grand Ruler," she whispered in his ear. There were tears in both of their sparkling green eyes when they finally pulled away.

"Err . . ." Robin half growled, impatiently, as the team looked on at the moment the brother and sister were sharing. Cyborg gave him a look.

"Oh, man, that is just wrong. You can not be jealous of her brother, man. What is wrong with you?" Beast Boy burst out laughing, and even Raven cracked a smile as Robin shuffled his feet.

"Shut up, I am not," he mumbled. By this time, Starfire approached them, followed by Ryand'r.

"Pray tell, what is so hilarious?" she asked, smiling innocently, which caused everyone else to smile too, but for different reasons. It was hard not to absolutely adore the ever-clueless Starfire.

"Ready to go?" Robin asked, eager to 1.) avoid the subject of what they were laughing about and 2.) go home so he could spend some alone time with Starfire. She nodded.

"Oh, yes, I am once again feeling the sick for my home." She turned to Ryand'r and the two exchanged another hug.

"Please assure me that you will return once more," Ryand'r pleaded. "There will always be a place in the Tamaran Grand Palace for you, and the Teen Titans."

"Oh, I will miss you, little brother!" Starfire gushed, a little tearfully. "Of course I will return. Not that it will be necessary, but I would like to check up on how you are doing. We will all return very soon."

"Not too soon," Robin grumbled. Cyborg heard him.

"Man, you disgust me," he hissed. Then, louder, "See ya later, R-man. It was cool and stuff. Hope there are no hard feelings about the whole war thing." Ryand'r smiled.

"It was a pleasure to meet the friends my sister has so easily welcomed into her heart. Thank you all for saving Tamaran from ruin. Consider yourselves honorary members of the Tamaranean royal family."

"Well, alright!" Cyborg said smiling.

"Cool, thanks dude, now can we hurry up? I still can't figure out how to use the bathrooms here . . ." Beast Boy whined. Raven rolled her eyes.

"Uh-uh!" Cyborg shouted. "You can find your own way home, you are not having another accident on the T-ship!"

"But I didn't mean to . . ."

"Just shut up and let's go," said Raven, irritated. The three walked off, leaving Robin, Starfire, and Ryand'r behind. Before Robin even knew what was going on, Ryand'r had pulled him into a huge hug. What was it with Tamaraneans and hugging people? Robin of course never minded Starfire, he lived for it, but he didn't even know Ryand'r . . . and he wasn't sure he particularly liked him, either. But that would change.

"I know you will take good care of her," Ryand'r whispered during the awkward hug. "She is the world to me, and I see she is also the world to you. You are a worthy man, Robin, and I would not trust her to anyone less." A small smile played on Robin's face as he pulled away. Maybe Ryand'r wasn't so bad after all. He was about to turn to go, when Ryand'r reached out and grabbed his arm.

"However, if you ever hurt my sister again, I will personally remove the intestines from your body and serve them with the grebnar and zorka berries. Keep that in mind," Ryand'r growled. Robin was startled to see that the entire time he was threatening him, Ryand'r had a bright smile on his face so as not to worry Starfire, who was smiling back at him, clueless. Okay . . . so maybe Ryand'r was a little creepy . . . but at least he cared about his sister, right?

Starfire and Ryand'r exchanged one last sentimental hug and then Starfire gently slipped her hand into Robin's, and the two walked out of the palace to join their friends. They didn't let go until they got to the T ship.

It was time to go home.


Once again...I'm sorry...wow it's sad that it's getting to the point when I have to apologize every single update! This time it was Spring Break, and I was in Cancun, baby! And now I am tan and happy, and now you all can be happy too, because I'm updating!

However, this happiness won't last long, because this is the last chapter. But don't panic, there will be an epilogue! And in it Starfire will finally tell Robin all about her past and there will be some fluffyness and there will be love all around! So, even though it might take me a while, an epilogue is coming!

So I'm going to wrap this up with a few replies so I can get working on the epilogue ASAP. And also, I don't think I'm going to have a sequel, just because I don't like them very much. Actually I have no idea what's up next for me. Anybody have anything they want to see? I might do a fluffy one-shot to pass the time (and to make sure you guys don't forget me!) But we'll see. Let me know!

Callista Miralni-Actually, the fic's not quite over yet, because there's still an epilogue to come. And thanks so much for the compliments! It's good to know that my knowledge of the show makes my fics better, so thanks!

Mr. Rogers-Thank you, but when my font is in italics, that means the entire thing is in Robin's point of view, so it's his thoughts. And voice is separated with the quotation marks. I hope that helps, thanks!

JulesFire-I'm especially glad that your favorite part was that part, because it was my favorite to write and I was hoping people would like it! Yay! And how sweet that you took the time to type your review TWICE . . . aww my hero!

Kingcakeluva-Kendrick is dead, they just had to deal with Starfire seeing his lifeless body and realizing what she'd done. I'm glad you liked it!

Swisscheese-I don't want it to be over either! It was fun to write, especially Robin's thoughts, so I'm happy that you liked that! And thanks for the whole saying that I write well, I appreciate it, even though there are others that are way better.

xox.Annie Potter.xox-Nice new username! Haha it's a plan, I'm excited! I'm trying to make my chapters longer, but since the fic's ending, it's kind of winding down . . . oh well. But I'm glad you liked it!

CidGregor-Hey, it's been forever since we talked! I read the songfic, and, hello, AMAZING! I loved it! It made me very very happy. And I hope that this chapter was long enough for you!

Riles-You play softball too? What position? I loooove softball, even though it takes a lot of time, it's one of my favorite things to do. Besides write TT fanfics . . . lol! Okay, so, even though fast pitches are good, accuracy is waaaay more important! And sucky umps . . . ew. We have this one that we got a lot that we call Dennis the Menace because he blows. He hates our team, and he always calls us on things that are soo wrong, like when the runner and the baseman get there at the same time, the runner is supposed to win, but not for our team wit him . . . grr . . . and then he completely ignores when the other team screws up. Completely no fair. But I love the game anyway! I'm glad you liked the chappie!

Okay. I'm done now. Must go write!

Review, and keep an eye out for the epilogue! Love ya!
