Chapter 11: Tragedy

Robin and the Titans walked quietly through the halls. Luckily, Cyborg had disabled all the cameras before mission started.

"Ok. You all know what to do right?" Robin asked as he approached a venillation vent. (A/N: lol. don't know what's it's called or spelled) The others nodded.

"Alright. Titans GO!" Robin said but in a whisper and the TItans were off to find any way to stop Slade. Robin then used one of his gadgets from his glove and unscrewed the screws in the vent. Once the vent's covere was removed he climbed in and started to crawl through the dark tunnnels. After what seemed like an eternity, he stopped and listened closely.Under the vent below him, he could hear Starfire soundly sleeping. Robin then quickly took out the screws and jumped and landed on the floor unhurt. Starfire suddenly awoke and sat up and stared into the darkness.

"Who is there?" Starfire called out. Robin smiled. She looked so cute when she was scared. Starfire meanwhile, frantically looked around.

"Hello? Someone is there?" Starfire called out again and strecthed her hand out into the darkness. Robin smiled and took her hand. Starfire gave a little screech and made a starbolt in her hand. From the light of the starbolt, it then revealed what was in front of her. It was Robin. Starfire smiled and Robin smiled back.

"So...are you gonna attack me or what?" Robin asked jokingly. Starfire giggled and put her arms around him.

"Oh! I missed you so much! I knew you would be back!" Starfire said through a soft whisper.

"I missed you too Star." Robin said and returned the embrace. He then pulled back and kissed her forehead and Starfire giggled.

"Where are the others?" Starfire asked and looked around.

"They're off looking for more evidence to bring Slade down." Robin said heroically and again, Starfire gave a little giggle. "Let's get you out of here." Robin said as he took her hand. Starfire nodded and took his hand. Then Robin noticed that Starfire was leaning in for a kiss and leaned in as well. But as their lips were about to touch...

"Awww how cute. You really do make a cute couple."

Starfire and Robin broke out from each others spell and looked at the door. Slade was standing ther and in the back the other Titans were defeated and were being held hostage by Slade's robots.

"Slade." Robin hissed and stepped in front of Starfire. "Leave her alone."

Slade chuckled. "My dear boy. She doesn't belong to you. She belongs to me. As my Apprentice."

Starfire frowned and started a starbolt in her hand. She then stepped in front of Robin. "I am not you're Apprentice anymore." With that, she threw that starbolt at him, sending Slade into the wall. After a moment, the smoke and debris cleared and Slade appeared undamaged. Slade then started to laugh and he then snapped his fingers, signaling his robots to disppear with the others.

"You're going to wish you never did that." Slade said eeriely. Robin frowned and stepped in front of Starfire.

"I said get away from her." Robin barked. Slade smiled behind his mask.

"Ok. Then I'll just have to finish you." Slade said and grabbed Robin by the cloar of his shirt and threw Robin, hard, into the hallway.

As Robin struggled to get to his feet, Starfire stood in shock and frowned. She then started a starbolt in her hand and chraged at Slade. Slade smiled and used the device that Starfire stole and shot Starfire with it. Robin looked up and saw Starfire glowing red (like the one in Apprentice) in pain on the ground.

Robin then charged at Slade. Inside of him there was so much anger that noone would describe how much he wanted to hurt, no, kill Slade.

"LEAVE HERE ALONE!" Robin snarled as he hit Slade as hard as he could with his bo-staff. Unfornately, Slade blocked every attack and chuckled.

"My dear boy. Can you not see whta you have done to her? From your anger. She suffers." Slade said and punched him in the chin which sent Robin flying across the room.

Robin struggled to stand up. "Thats...not true."

Slade then approached him. "My dear boy. It is." With that he aimed the ray gun at Robin's head. And just as he was about to shoot him a starbolt collided with the ray gun and broke the device. Slade turned around to see that the starbolt came from Starfire and she wasn't glowing anymore. But from the starbolt she lost all her energy and collapsed onto the floor.

"You little--" Slade started to say but Robin hit him in the head and took out his bo-staff and hit him hard in the face sending half of his maskto fly off and his face started to bleed. Slade then looked at Robin, unfortunately his bare face was covered by the shadows.

"Who are you?" Robin asked. But Slade just chuckled. "Someone you will never know." Slade answered and threw smoked pellets on the ground. Robin's eyes grew wide and he charged into the cloud of smoke.

"YOU MONSTER! COME OUT AND FIGHT!" Robin yelled. But the smoked cleared and Slade had again disappeared. Robin gripped his bo-staff and punched the wall. Then a faint voice called out to him and Robin turned around seeing the hurt Starfire. Robin dropped his bo-staff and ran over to her. And slowly picked her up.

"Star..Starfire talk to me." Robin called out to her. No response. He could feel rage and sadness flow into him. He then felt tears flow into his eyes. He started to cradle Starfire in his arms and pushed a starnd of hair away from her face and kissed her forehead.

It's not fair. IT'S NOT FAIR! SHE CAN'T LEAVE ME!

Robin right now was cursing him but his thoughts were interuppted when hand touched his shoulder. Robin turned his head around and saw his other teammates and Cyborg was the onewho laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry man. We'll find a way to save her." Cyborg assured.

"Where were you?" Robin askedhis voice rising.

"We were trying to get to you." Raven said.

"Yeah, but when there's tens of thousands of Slade drones. How could we get to you?" Beast Boy finished.

Robin gripped onto Starfire's shoulders tightly. "She can't leave me...it's not fair. I need her." The others looked at each other. He didn't sound like the hero he is. He sounded...like a child.

"Don't worry. We'll do everything we can to get her back." Raven said. Robin nodded and a tear fell from his face to Starfire's cheek. Starfire was breathing, but they were deep and shallow breaths.

So as Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg and Robin with Starfire in his arms, walked to the T-Car. Robin for once didn't feel the same and felt the same way he did when he lost he parents.

"I love you Starfire." he whispered and slowly put her in the T-Car.
