AN: This is just a short tribute to Starfire, as she has been in hospital, dying, for the past 3 chapters. I'll double update, cuz you probably want to know where Granite has gone, and why Terra has been added to the confusion. Robins POV.
!"£$%&()-=[{}]'#¬,.?/
(In the Jump City Hospital, Robin holds Stars hand, massaging it with his thumb. Her face is still while and pinched where Granite stole more energy than she could spare)
Robin: Star... (A long pause) Come back to us. (Another pause) We... We miss you. You know it, right? You're still there? Starfire...
(In flashback mode, seeing Star-central images, memories)
You were always there. You never... You tried to keep the peace, like that time when we fought Cinderblock, and he got away. Cy an' me fought about it, an' we ignored you when you told us to stop. He came back though, didn't he? You have to, too.
And remember when your sister, Blackfire, came to stay? You thought that she'd replaced you, but now you know that that wasn't true, right? You could never be replaced, especially not by that evil... You almost left us then Star, you can't do it again, I won't be able to take it...
And that other time, in Mad Mods creepy mansion. It was like a Beatles music video! Those were fun times, right? You remember, how ever much BB resolved not to be hypnotised, he would be! How we had to make him laugh? I wish that I could hear you laugh again, this silence is deafening.
You are so important, to me, to all of us, and the future. Remember what you told us? About Nightwing, and the clock? Your holiday from your homeworld? We fell apart without you. Don't let it happen, Star, please! We need you. I need you.
Slade used you to get to me. He sent you and the others after a chromium detonator, and held you all hostages. I'd rather die than see you hurt. I'll never forgive myself for... I had to work for him. I couldn't let him hurt you, while I didn't share your pain. I did mean it, you know. I didn't know what Slade would do, but I had to take the chance, no matter how small it was, that there was to save you. This time, I couldn't.
(Camera back to the hospital room)
You will wake up, won't you Star? I can't take it, you being hurt. Come back Star. Come back to me. I miss you.
TBC...
AN: R&R plz?
