Chapter 5- A Dove's Trap

Robin couldn't get to sleep. He had just told Starfire he loved her. They were a couple now. He would always be there for her, he would make sure of that. But all he was really afraid about if Slade or some other creepy villain wanted to use her against him. Of course he would give in. He told her he would do anything for her, and that's just what he intended to do. But another thing was bothering him, and at this, tears came to his eyes.(His mask was off when he slept) All those innocent people in the city...died. They died. And the titans didn't get there soon enough to rescue them. "Blackfire and Dove are going down," he thought, "I'm gonna stop them no matter what it takes!"

It was a peaceful morning in Titans' Tower and Raven was the first one up. She yawned. She stayed awake a lot last night just...thinking. About Beast Boy. He had kissed her, and she had kissed him back. They were boyfriend-girlfriend now. "How am I gonna tell the others" she thought. At that thought, Starfire skipped merrily into the room. "Good morning, Raven!" she happily exclaimed. "Uh...morning?" Raven said. Starfire opened the fridge and started eating an apple. "I am hoping you got such a delightful sleep as well as I!" Starfire exclaimed.

"Not really, I was thinking."

"Thinking? What were you thinking about?"

"Promise you won't tell?"

"You have my word!"

"Well...Beast Boy and I...well, he came into my room and we...kinda...kissed."

"You did!"

"Uh-huh."

"How wonderful! Robin and I have also shared a kiss as well."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"What are you girls doing this early in the morning?" A sleepy headed Cyborg walked in the room. "We are merely doing the "girl talk" this early," Starfire said. "Whatever, I'm going back to bed. Raven stared after him. "That was fast," she said. "How you earth people say it, a "quick conversation!" Starfire explained. All of a sudden, Raven saw a note lying on the kitchen table. "Hey, look at that." She said. Raven got up from her position on the couch and picked the note up. "Are you going to read it?" Starfire asked, "and who is it from? Also, more importantly, who is it for?"

"It's for us." Starfire floated over. "Well," she began, "since it is for us girls, I propose we read it." Raven nodded and unfolded the paper. This is what it said: Dear Starfire and Raven, will you go out with us today? Say like, as soon a you get up and ready? We both love you very much. Our meeting place will be at the docks near the abandoned factory. Robin and Beast Boy." "Oh, we simply must go!" Starfire exclaimed after jumping up in the air and clapping. "Well," began Raven, "we better start getting ready now!" The two girls raced off to the bathroom. Starfire made sure every strand of her hair was brushed and placed on "the gloss for your lips." Raven applied just a tiny bit of lip gloss but brushed her hair throughly. Then, they changed their outfits. Starfire placed on a denim short skirt and a red and white striped halter top. Raven simply wore jeans, with a black t-shirt. Quickly, the girls rushed out the door.

Not that far after, Robin woke up. He quickly placed on his superhero outfit and walked in the kitchen. "I wonder where the girls are," he thought, "usually Raven and Star are up by this hour." He walked down the halls and knocked on Starfire's door. "Star? Are you sleeping? I'm really regretting waking you up if you are but you're kind of...not here." There was no answer. He opened the door, only to see an empty bed. "Starfire?" He asked. He ran to Raven's room and kicked the door down. There was no one in there either. "Starfire?" He ran everywhere in the tower, calling her name. He searched on the island, in everyone's room when finally he decided to check the roof. "Starfire? STARFIRE?" He landed on his knees and began to cry. He ripped his mask off and let the tears stream down his face. His blue eyes were completely tear stained. In his mind, was Starfire. Her hair blowing softly in the wind, a cute little smile on her face, everything about her just being perfect. Then, Starfire was running. Running in nothing. But her arms were flapped out as she ran and softly landed in Robin's arms. She stared up at him with her beautiful green eyes. "I love you, Robin," she said. "I love you just the way you are." But in reality, he wasn't holding her. She wasn't telling him she loved him just the way he was. In reality...Starfire was no where to be found.

Starfire and Raven were waiting patiently at the docks. "I am wondering where they might be," Starfire said. "Oh," said a familiar voice, "they're not coming." Blackfire came behind them and threw Starfire in the river. Raven flew up in the air. Starfire coughed and flew up out of the ocean. Her hands glew green. "Sister," she said, "what are you doing here?"

"Well, don't give all the credit to me. Dove was the one who thought of the trap. And you two bastards fell for it!" Her hands and eyes glew pink and she zapped Starfire. "Uh!" Starfire fell on the ground. "Azerath Metrione Zinthoss!" A black hand grabbed Blackfire on the ground. "Don't even think about it, younger sister!" Dove came from behind, her hand glowing black. "Hezbarek Etmorane zinthoss rex!" A giant bulldozer landed on Raven. Causing her to faint. About her whole body was bleeding. But before she fainted, she quickly chanted, "Axer menoine gothbar." And some of her bad wounds healed. Starfire quickly got up and backed away. "Well, look who's afraid now," Blackfire said. "I am not afraid older sister!"

"You look afraid to me!" Another starbolt hit her. Starfire really couldn't take it. A knife then scratched her back. She had never experienced this type of pain before...never. Starfire then fainted. A small puddle of blood formed near her back. Starfire entered a world of nothingness. (She didn't die) "So," began Blackfire, "now what do we do?"

"We wait for the boys to come," Dove replied, "that's when the real fun will begin."
