Chapter 12: All Work...
Starfire awoke on the crisp and frozen morning in december with a long yawn. She rubbed her dry eyes and rose from the bed letting the pink, silky cover flow from her body and lie on the floor. Hovering gently over to her closet, she gazed over her wardrobe and selected a purple dress with a slit up the side and a white top with a heart in the middle of her chest. She smiled at herself in the mirror and gave a little pose, laughing at how she looked when she did it. Silky rubbed against her leg and she picked him up petting him gently. He squeled with delight as her fingers gently traced along his back. Starfire decided to go to the training room, it had been a long time since she had practiced with her powers. She put silky down much to his displeasure and walked down the hall to the common room. "Hey Starfire...you look beautiful!" Robin said seeing her come into the room. Starfire blushed and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Good to see you this morning Robin." she said while walking twords the training room. Robin decided to see what she was up to and followed her. She set the training level for level 6 of 10 since it was Robins design and 10 ment almost unbeatable she decided to play it safe. A series of walls formed and made a small room that Starfire entered and was locked in. The floor opened and a series of what looked like slade bots came from the hole that held energy batons and laser pistols. Starfires eyes flared green and she smiled as two starbolts manifested in her hands, she lunged at the first target and smahed it with her right and shot another with the starbolt in her left hand. There where still 7 more and they learned from previous moves used on them. Starfire fired another starbolt at one of them and it deflected the bolt with the baton, then charged at starfire and swung at her. She quickly evaded the attack by dropping to the floor tripping the bot and hitting it with her fist and sending it into the wall. Robin was impressed, so far Starfire was flawless. It was more like she was dancing than fighting, gracfully moving out of the way of laser fire and shooting out the legs of the bot with her eyes. After all the bots had been defeated she pressed the button to get out of the room where she was greated by Robin.
Terra and Beast Boy were fixing breakfast and talking about all the things that had happened recently. "I mean between all the attacks and Lucius the place has gotten a little more focused." Terra said flipping one of the pancakes. "Yeah, even though i still have worries about him. He really has helped around a lot around here." It had been a week since they had been attacked and the training room was getting worn out so often that Cyborg had to have Robins help in making a new system. They all had been working extra hard to make sure that nothing would suprise them or overpower them. Lucius and Raven were gone to the concert that Starfire and Terra planned for them. Cyborg and Jynx were away at steel city to review how Titans East were doing. Leaving only Terra, Starfire, Robin, and Beast Boy to guard the tower. There had only been minor distubances along with a series of unsolved robberies that Robin had been investigating. Terra was beggining to set the table as Beast Boy prepared the rest of the meal. "So what do you think our dear new foes are up to?" Terra asked Beast Boy setting a fork down. Beast Boy shrugged "Dont know, but whatever it is were ready this time around.
Robin handed Starfire a towel to wipe the swet of her victory from her brow. "Thank you robin, this new training system is a large help." she said sitting next to him on the bench. "Beast Boy and Terra are making breakfast in the common room." Robin said as he put his arm around Starfire. "Robin, I was wondering. What have you found out about those people who have been attacking us these last weeks?" Robin just held her and buried his face in her shoulder, "Nothing Star, with all the chaos and what little information there is, I cant get a lead on anything." Starfire ran her fingers through his hair, "Dont worry Robin, we shall find them and make them pay for what they did to our friend Lucius." Robin smiled, "You're right Starfire, I'll try harder to find info on these guys." They both got up and walked to the common room. "Bout time you two got here! Breakfast is getting cold and I dont wanna hear any complaints about the eggs." Terra said putting her hands on her hips and blowing a lock of hair out of her eyes. They all sat down and began eating. Talking about the past few weeks and looking for an explanation, "Maybe they are after something in the tower?" Terra said as she drank from her glass of orange juice. "Not likely Terra, they wouldnt be shooting at us if there was." Robin stated shoveling a piece of ham in his mouth. "Maybe they just are very angry with one or more of us." Starfire sighed as she twirled her eggs with her fork. "Ive got it!" Beast Boy said jumping to his feet. "Its not radioactive space zombies BB" Robin said going back to his glass of milk. "No not that Robin, what if they were hired by someone to get rid of us?" Beast Boy said waving a piece of tofu around on his fork. This made a lot of sense to them considering they've never been attacked like this before. "I'll look into it Beast Boy thanks." Robin said finishing of his last egg and getting up to take his plate. He took Starfires plate as well and then he went to the crime lab to analize one of the bullets from the attack. "Hey Starfire," Terra said "nice outfit today, so whats the occasion?" Starfire halfed blused and looked to the side. "Nothing really friend honest!" she said exitedly as Terra lifted her eyebrow and smiked. "You finally gonna ask the Boy Wonder huh? Well good luck Star!" she said holding up a peace sign for victory.
Aedea woke up with a shock, making her moan in pain due to her ribs. It had been a week since that Raven girl had defeated her and the wounds were healing but the nightmares were getting worse. Shiv was asleep in the chair when he heard her cry out, instantly waking him from his sleep. "How are you feeling?" he asked, wiping her fore head with a cold cloth then leaving a warm cloth on her head. "Better than I was brother but still not well enough." Aedea said caressing his hand against her face. "Dont worry sister, we can manage ourselves. In any case the girl you saved has turned out to be quite the care taker." Aedea looked around her and saw the warehouse was...CLEAN? There were chairs situated around what looked like a crate with a green tarp over it. and the old sofa had been moved to give the room a more open feeling. "Well at least we can finally live here now." she said laughing gently as she looked around, "That and I think our little brother is taking a liking to her as well." Aedea smiled, "Thats good, his encounters with humans have never been a positive experience so this will be good for him." Shiv nodded, "Its about time we changed that wrap on your eye." Aedea lifted her head slightly as Shiv reached around to undo the cloth. As the bandage came off, Shiv saw that the scar traveled strait down her once beautiful eye leaving a pretty good looking scar but it was still a scar. "Well its looking better Aedea, but its going to need a new bandage and some time." She smiled up at him and nodded, "Something tells me im blind in that eye as well dear brother." Shiv lost the smile on his face, "I'll make them pay sis, belive me I'll make them pay." Aedea just held his hand, "I know you will brother, after all, theres no way in hell they're better than you."
Larson and the girl were sitting outside on the dock letting their legs dangle of the side. Both sitting there silently but both wating to say something to the other. "So..um where are you and your family from." the girl asked in a timid fasion. "Were from...Tell you the truth I dont even remeber." Larson said in a sad wonderment. They hadnt had an actual home in a very long time and this was about the longest they had stayed in a single place. Normaly a mission like this didnt take as long but due to the power that these targets had. " What was your name? I never got to hear it." Larson asked back, very interested in the answer. "My name is Sicele Meroe, I use to live in the downtown area but my parents were killed by a robber and I was left to living on the streets." Larson was shocked to hear that name of Meroe. "Your father didnt happen to be the president of GenTex corporation did he?" Sicele nodded her head," How did you know?" Larson leaned back and stared into the morning sky. "We did a protection job for him once when he was at the peak of his political stand point, he was a good hearted man. Way more so than any of the other rich pompus pricks we run arrends for." She scooted closer to him and leaned in. "You were the group that stopped the assasination attempt on my father?" Larson nodded, "That sniper was to easily viewable and it was all to easy for my brother to stop him." Sicele gave Larson a rather tight hug catching him a little of guard. "You..are the greatest." Larson was not use to getting any kind of affection, he blushed profusly and put his hand on her back. After a while she got up and helped Larson to his feet, "I'm glad that you all are here again, hopefully i can be of some help around here." Larson smiled, "Of course you can, after all you helped Aedea recover and thats a good sign that Shiv will accept your help from now on."
