Chapter 3 – Tragedy!
The R-Cycle roared back through the streets of Jump City, its riders still euphoric from the long kiss they had shared. "Robin, I love you," cooed Starfire. Robin looked back at her and lost himself in those emerald-hued eyes….
An air horn and the sound of squealing brakes broke his trance as the R-Cycle slammed into an oncoming semi-truck.
"STARFIRE!"
Back at the Tower, alarm klaxons blazed, and Raven was the first to get to Ops. When Cyborg and Beast Boy arrived, she explained the situation. "Robin and Starfire are in trouble…and the R-Cycle is missing." She pointed at the screen, where an 'S' marked the Tamaranian's location. "Cyborg, get the T-Car and a trailer. Beast Boy, get the med kit from sickbay, and go with Cyborg." Then she disappeared in a flash of black energy.
Back at the scene of the accident, Starfire lay sprawled on the pavement, unconscious, while Robin lay nearby. He was awake, but severely bloodied and bruised. A globe of black energy appeared on the pavement, and a hooded head appeared and rose to reveal the gray-skinned telekinetic.
She spoke. "What happened, Robin?"
Robin said nothing, attempting only to point at the wrecked motorcycle, and instead groaned in pain.
Broken arm, she thought. She felt up and down his injured body and the corresponding groans and grunts indicated he also had a broken hip, separated shoulder, and three broken ribs. Pulling out her communicator, Raven said, "Robin's beaten up pretty badly." A worried look was etched on her face. "Starfire's unconscious, and I haven't looked at her yet. The R-Cycle is totaled, too."
"Aw, man, this is serious. Be there in a minute." Cyborg's face showed the same concern.
"Thanks. I'll minimize his injuries so we can get him in the T-Car. Raven out."
