A/N I have some reviews, so here you go!

Raven A. Star-- Have you ever seen the episode, Fear Itself? Raven doesn't do fear. But your review was funny anyway.

NNY273000 suggested that I use more Tamerainain words, so Starfire is going to be a little harder to understand now. But Starfire doesn't talk in this chapter, so that starts next time.

A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 9: Fight and Flight, part 3

"Self-destruct in 60 seconds. Please clear the area."

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Cyborg.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Beast Boy.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Robin.

"STOP IT!" yelled Raven. "I need to think." Everyone shut their mouths. Raven started rubbing her temples.

"Since Robin is scared out of his wits, I'll have to get us out of here. Cyborg, see if you can hack into the computer. Beast Boy, and Robin, you try to open the door." Everyone went to do their assigned job.

The door was locked tight, and the computer was un-hackable. Everyone but Raven started to panic again.

"BE QUIET! I need to think." Raven thought for a few seconds.

"Self-destruct in 45 seconds." said the computerized voice.

"Cyborg, blast a hole in the wall, by any means necessary." Cyborg calmed down enough to turn his arm into a Plasma gun, again, and blast a hole in the brick wall.

"10... 9...8...7...6..."

"Everyone out!" Everyone ran out of the hole.

"3...2...1" Slade's hideout blew up in a tremendous explosion, rocking the ground. Fortunately, all of the titans – minus Starfire, who wasn't in there in the first place – were out safely. Pieces of the building flew every where.

"Everyone get behind me, quick!" yelled Raven. She put a shield of black aura, and everyone watched in amazement as pieces of drywall rained down from the sky. Raven lowered her energy, and Robin was the first to speak.

"Ok, now that that's over, I really hope Starfire wasn't in there." said Robin, with dismay on his face. No doubt, he was thinking of what would've happened if Starfire was in there after all.

"I'm sure she's all right," Beast Boy reassured his friend, while trying to shake off his own fears.

"Well, if she wasn't in there, we'll still have to find her." Cyborg pointed out. Robin looked up at the sky. It seemed unusually blue.

"I'm really sorry, you guys, and girl. I wasn't thinking. None of us were." Raven pointedly cleared her throat. "Well, almost none of us. Slade found another weakness of mine. Really, a weakness of all of us. Our friendship is that weakness. It was a strength before, but Slade found a way to use it against us."

"Is it too late to start thinking now?" Cyborg said as he punched in Starfire's ID code. A little red dot appeared on the screen of his scanner. "I hope not, because Star is a little north of here."

"What are we waiting for? Titans, go!" yelled Robin. They all ran (or flew) to the spot where Cyborg said Starfire was. Robin ran faster than anyone else. When they got there, all to be seen, other than trees, was a metal box. It probably held a computer or something. They split up, and started searching.

"mysbkiyks!" came a voice from inside of the box.

"What- Who said that?" said Robin. He walked over to the box, and saw a purple glove. He picked it up, and looked at the metal box. Suddenly, he found himself trying to pry the box open.

"Starfire! Are you in there?" yelled Robin.

"msibis!" came the voice again.

()

About two hours later, Robin started using his bo-staff. The box still wouldn't give. Robin just wasn't strong enough. Cyborg came out of the woods.

"Cyborg! Help me get this stupid box open!" Cyborg ran over, and they still couldn't get the box open. Raven walked out of the woods, followed by Beast Boy.

"We didn't find her," reported Raven.

"Dudes, what are you doing?" asked Beast Boy.

"Trying to get the box open! We think that someone is in it!" said Robin. Raven stepped forwards.

"Move."

"Why? Are you gonna blast this box open?" laughed Cyborg, but he and Robin still stepped out of the way. Raven gave him a look that said all to clearly, 'duh.'

"Actually, that was the idea. Azerath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" the box flew apart, and Starfire tumbled out. She was unconscious, and her face was deadly pale. Robin immediately checked her pulse.

"Is she--?" asked Beast Boy, before Cyborg prevented him from talking by clamping his lips together. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Robin's answer. The answer that might confirm their worst nightmares.

"She's..."

Ok, that's Chapter 9. they found Starfire, and now, CLIFFHANGER!!!!! Ha-ha! Cliffys are my best friends. Ok, now for the quote of the Chapter, "I've been thinking... I just though, maybe I don't need to put a limit on the number of reviews to post my next chapter. It's waay too demanding, don't you think? I just figured out that I want reviews that come from the heart, and if I get a review, it means I'm doing a real good job. So from now on, you can give me reviews at free will." ---- A.N.D. ok, see you when the next chapter is ready! It won't take more than two weeks. REVIEW, PLEASE!!!!! Oh,and next chapter will be a different name, not Fight and Flight. next chapter is when the mushy-ness starts.
