Chapter 2: Mind Break
Robin raced through the city, the R-cycle weaving through late night cars and buses. He clutched the piece of material tight in his hand.
Wherever you are Star, I'll find you, He thought. This wasn't right. How come the alarms hadn't been activated when whoever did this wrecked the tower? He was pretty much guessing that Star had heard and gone into the main room and… It was too painful to think about. Suddenly the communicator beeped and Robin swerved dangerously into a sidewalk.
"Report." He said.
"The whole tower security system has been wrecked. The only thing that isn't is the fridge." Cyborg replied, shaking his head angrily.
"Did you look in the security cam videos?"
"Yes and everything has been wiped off. Whoever did this knew a lot about technology and how to totally mess up the tower. And I know why only Star heard it." Cyborg looked hesitant but carried on. "A sleeping gas was put into our rooms, so I can't tell when this happened."
"DAMN!" Robin swore. Cyborg looked slightly scared but Robin shut him off. He revved the R-cycle and burst into speed, knocking over a load of trash cans.

Starfire was sitting onto of a crag-piece, looking out toward sea. Her hair blew out in the wind and her eyes were glassy. She hugged her knees to her chest, staring at a passing ship. The sound of footsteps came from behind her and she turned round.
"Star, what are you doing all the way out here?" It was Robin. He looked concerned as she got her feet.
"I needed to give my thought some time of thinking." She replied, her head hung low.
"Is there something wrong?" Robin asked.
"No, friend. There is nothing of the matter. I am quite joyful and…" Robin cocked an eyebrow and Starfire stopped.
"Oh, Robin. Something is wrong with me and I keep on having the mares of night about our friend being…" She stopped again and looked tearfully away.
"Killed?"
"Yes." Suddenly there was shouting and the Titans flew down beside them.
"What is going on?" Robin asked. Starfire froze and let out a scream. Standing above them was Slade. He drew out a knife and stabbed Raven in the throat. She fell down, blood spurting down her cloak. Beast Boy rushed to her body, only to be pulled back by Cyborg. Robin drew out his bow staff and charged forwards, smacking it against Slade's head. Starfire began to fire while BB turned into a T-rex and began to roar. Cyborg shot at Slade with his cannon, but he jumped and threw an explosive at him. But it simply electrified him, blowing up his brain. (I like things that blow up!) Beast Boy was caught in the explosion and tumbled into the sea.
"NO!" Starfire screamed. Robin knocked her out of the way of a sword, which plunged into his stomach. It was an instant death, blood pouring from the wound. There was a small jerk and Starfire was pulled into the sea. She was drowning the air bubbles soaring upwards. Slade had his hands her throat, choking her. She tried to shoot him, but she had no strength. White light was flashing before her eyes.
(End Dream)
The figure watched as Starfire twitch madly. Her clothes had been removed and now she wore white thick straps. (For anyone who has watched the Fifth Element, you know what I mean.) Her blood was filled with chemicals, which were destroying her mind. The figure grinned again and turned to a computer. It had Star's brainwaves on it and they were going haywire.
"Her mind will break and everything about her will be gone."
Robin turned to his R-cycle's computer. He had never told anyone, but Star always had a back up tracker. All of the team did, he just hadn't mentioned it to them.Star's was on the back of her hand. He typed in a code and it began to search. Robin tapped his fingers and suddenly… it had found her. She was… Robin looked shakily at the name. Alien Search and Dissection Lab. Robin began to tremble violently. He contacted the team, who all looked horrified.
"We have to get to her now." Raven said.
"Yeah, or else she'll be like that frog in the fourth grade!" Beast Boy screamed. But little do they know, it was far worse than that.
Starfire twitching had ceased. Her skin was pale and her hair floated lifelessly. Suddenly yellow bolts of light travelled down her arms and crackled on her fingers. The figure turned away and passed through the door. The yellow bolts had signified something. Her mind had broken.
YAY! I have returned once more! Ahh, it is good to be back. Now, looking at teh reviews, I understand thta some of you are a little stuck withe the story. Right, Starfire was kidnapped, put into one of those evil tube things and is simply being injected with a chemical that is destroying her mind as it metions in thsi chapter. Sorry, I do know it is very short, but I had little time and wanted to put it on today. I know it is really naff, but sometimesI do these things and Ilike it! Thanks for all of your reviews andI shall put the next one up tomorrow after school. Or, if I get any today, I shall put it then. IT DEPENDS!
