Here ya go! Revenge is sweet, according to LostRaven, a close friend of mine. Ask her what she means, I have no clue. Ok, my new divider is ----.
A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 13 Crazy?
'I can't believe I'm doing this,' he thought as he walked over and climbed in Starfire's sleeping bag. 'I can just hope Star doesn't come back.' Robin lay there until he was sure that Raven was sleeping peacefully. He climbed out of the frilly, pink sleeping bag, and being as silent as possible (humanly or otherwise) crept out of the tent, into the dark night.
'Good thing I wasn't caught. How would I explain? Oh, I stole Star's diary, and I wanted to return it. Yeah, like anyone would believe that.' Robin was chastising himself so much, that it took a minute before he remembered that Starfire was missing.
----
The sun was starting to rise. Robin found his way to the picnic table, sat down, and started beating his head on the hard wood surface.'I'm not very lucky where Starfire is concerned. First, the whole ordeal with the underwear, then all the fighting, then that big metal box, and now this! Gone! There one minute, gone the next! What am I going to do?' Robin groaned as he thought those last words.
Robin stopped beating himself; his head hurt anyway. He sat there thinking about Starfire. Not about finding her, but about her herself. Not a very smart thing to do. It wasn't until Raven came out of the tent did the realization of Starfire really being gone hit him. Like a rock.
"Starfire's gone," she informed him. Or, she thought she informed him. Robin looked at her.
"I know."
"How do you know already?" Robin's face paled slightly.
"I didn't. Me and my stupid reflex replies," lied Robin, trying to cover his mistake. Raven quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Okay..." Raven drew the word out. 'I bet he knows something. I'll read his mind later.' Robin's eyes shone with worry.
"What are we going to do? How do we find her?" he asked.
"First, we wake up Cyborg and Beast Boy. Then, you, Cyborg, and Beast Boy WILL NOT PANIC! After that, we all use our brains." Said Raven. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I really need to meditate." She turned around, and walked back to her tent. Robin got up and decided to wake up the others.
Raven noticed that Starfire's side of the tent was a little messier than usual, but thought nothing of it (luckily for Robin). She meditated for a few minutes, then decided now was as good a time as ever for reading Robin's mind.
'Probably shouldn't have stolen Star's diary. Probably should've stayed out of her business.' Thoughts like these flitted through Robin's mind, and Raven decided that was all she needed to hear. She broke her concentration, and walked out of the tent.
Beast Boy and Cyborg were grumpy at being awoken at 5 o'clock in the morning. Robin was in a bad mood too, probably because of Starfire being missing. They were all fighting with each other. Raven decided to do something; after all, she was the only sane person around at the moment.
"Stop fighting and sit down! Now!" she yelled. Everyone sat at the picnic table.
"Ok. We've all woken up so early because of a problem. Starfire's missing again," Raven explained. Cyborg and Beast Boy gawked. Robin looked at his feet. Then he decided to say something.
"Cyborg, can you get a fix on her location?" Cyborg typed something on his scanner.
"She's about a mile west of here," he answered after a moment. He checked again. The signal disappeared, but came back. "I'm not sure what's going on, but the general direction is that way." He pointed towards the west side of the campsite.
Authors' notes
