Recap:
In the beginning…
Robin is asked back to Gotham by the infamous Batman. He is asked to join the justice league, which is one of his biggest aspirations, but that would mean leaving his team, and his best friend.
He receives a call from the tower and learns that Starfire, known also as Kori, has been kidnapped by Red-X. Robin bustles back down to Jump City to rescue his best friend, taking his former back with him, Batgirl.
They begin searching for any clues on Starfire's whereabouts when Cyborg comes upon Starfire's Diary. Robin, hoping this might be the break they needed, opens the book and begins to read her treasured secrets, only to find that she writes about him. While Batgirl tries to get closer to Robin, he begins to realize how much he treasures Starfire's friendship, and this is making it even harder for him to leave. The Titans finally get the break they need when they catch Red-X stealing clothes for his captive. Raven transports herself to the store and throws a tracking device on the clothing, hoping that it will go un-noticed by Red-X. Her plans work and the Titans track him to the Ex-club Soto. While fighting Red-X they learn why he wanted Starfire so badly. He figured with such a big heart she could care about him like she cared about others. Together the titans and Batgirl rescue the alien princess and take her back to the tower to recuperate. She is powerless because of a drug the X had used to contain her. She wakes up to all her friends beside her and some one new: Batgirl.
Starfire knew the stories of Batgirl and Robin, Batgirl being Robin's first real crush, and first real kiss. She become jealous and decides to go up onto the roof of the tower. Sensing her distress Robin follows her and begins to talk to her about everything that had happened. One thing leads to another and they end up kissing of the Titan's rooftop. Going inside, Robin sends Starfire off to bed. While attempting to fall asleep, she gets thirsty and travels down to the kitchen for some water. While down there she overhears a conversation between Robin and Batman about leaving the Titans for the Justice league. Robin sees her and tells her the truth about it all. Starfire's satisfied with his answer. Then Robin asks her out on an official date and Starfire is ecstatic. She tries to go back to bed, but in Starfire's excitement she decides it was the perfect time to write in her diary; only to find it not where she left it. She goes in search for it and run's into Cyborg who tells her Robin had it last. She thanks him and goes off to bed. The next morning she confronts Robin about it and she watches as he turns a scary shade of red in embarrassment. Later that night is their long awaited date. It went well until they got home. Batman had called and informed the other Titans about Robin being asked to join the League. Raven knew it was always one of Robin's aspirations and picks a fight so that he would take it. It works and Robin and Batgirl leave the tower. Starfire stayed behind, broken hearted and angry. In rage she breaks Red-X out of jail so that she could take him up on his offer of giving her everything she's ever wanted.
Whoa…that's deep. I hope that cleared up everything. If anyone has questions please send them to me at my email address on my Profile.
Now,here's the new chappy you all have been waiting for.
I could hear the sirens, on and on they went, they seemed never ending. We had to leave soon, I knew, but where else would we go? I walked over to Red-X who only looked at me hesitantly.
"Tell me, is there any place we may be able to go?" Turning his gaze away from mine, he stared blankly at a wall.
"Are you hungry?" I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms over my chest.
"I believe I asked first." He grinned and breathed in deeply.
"There's a little place…an old hideout we may be able to use for a while." He stood up and put a finger under my chin.
"There's no need to be afraid of this life cutie, just think of what the world would be like if there was no crime." I shook my head, unbelieving.
"I am not a criminal." he chuckled silently.
"You broke me out of jail didn't you, that makes you a criminal." My eyes grew increasingly wide. Was I truly that, was I truly a criminal?
Placing a hand to my mouth I felt tears begin to form in the corner of my eyes. There was a long awkward silence between us as I sucked in a breath.
"Let us go before they find us."
He nodded and moved to the back door. I fluttered behind, watching the strides he took with amusement. There was someone he reminded me of at that moment.
He reminded me of Robin.
My stomach lurched at the realization. I realized that wherever I went I would see him, and there was no way I was going to stop it.
We stopped in the alleyway as he began to depict where we were. Grabbing my hand we climbed a latter that led to the rooftops. We jumped from rooftop to rooftop as far away from the light as possible. I figured I was confused because once again I was unable to fly.
We stopped a few times to change directions, and yet no one had yet to see us. If only things would have stayed that way.
"Stop!" We turned around abruptly and I came face to face with Raven. I lowered my gaze for a moment as I heard Red-X speak from my side.
"Well, well cutie, looks like we got company." I watched as a large grin began to form on his lips.
"Leave Raven, this does not concern you." She stood there stubbornly. I growled fiercely and waited for my hands to glow. She did not even blink.
"Stop this Starfire, you don't know what you're doing." I shook my head angrily and positioned my fists.
"I know perfectly well what I am doing, it is you that does not!" I sent a starbolt her way but she blocked it easily. I cursed under my breath and got ready to attack again.
"Why are you doing it then?" she questioned. I pulled my fist back.
"Because…Because…" she cut me off abruptly and took a hesitant step forward.
"Because why? This isn't you, breaking people out of Jail, going against the law; you were never one for this!" Before I knew what I was doing I tossed a starbolt forward. Raven had no time to react as it plummeted quickly to her stomach. She was tossed from the air and thrown into the street below. I grinned and turned away. Red-X stared incredulously at me.
"Let us go." I called and we once again began to jump the rooftops. I did not once look back.
The Starfire they knew was gone, and too far gone to ever come back.
"Ouch." I rubbed my sore backside and stood up. I had forgotten how powerful she was. I placed my hood once again over my eyes and pulled out the Titans communicator. I waited for the others to tap onto the screen.
"Beast boy, Cyborg, its worse than we thought, she…" I stopped trying to form the words to explain what had just happened. Cyborg shook his head.
"She what?" I sighed and threw him an awkward look.
"She attacked me…" Cyborg seemed a bit confused about it all. Beast boy jumped into my view.
"Star attacked you? Are you sure?" I refrained from muttering curses at him. Behind me a street lamp blew up.
"Of course I'm sure; she pointed her fist and let her starbolt go. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be a hello." Cyborg cocked a robotic eyebrow and scratched the back of his head.
"Maybe…ya know…we should call Robin, I mean he is the reason for this." I shook my head objectively.
"No, we have to get her out of this…if he was to come back and then leave again things could be worse the next time." He nodded in agreement and logged off. Beast boy breathed in deeply and gave me a stern look.
"Whatever's happening Rae, we'll fix it." I smiled my normal 'whatever' smile and logged off. For some reason I felt like it was my entire fault. I had picked that fight with Robin, and because of it he had left.
I really did hope we could fix it.
The room seemed eerily darker then usual, the stairway to the bottom longer than I remembered. Maybe I'm getting old.
I noticed the dark-clad figure by the mainframe computer. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"It's about time you got here." My mentor gawked. I shook my head and rubbed my neck absentmindedly.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, I was right on time." Bruce, now dressed as Batman grinned.
"Well, lets get a move on, the League can't be kept waiting." I nodded slowly.
"Lets go then…" we hopped into the Bat-mobile, and I objectively left my bike in the Bat-cave. There was no use for it where I was going, but I still wanted no ones hand on it but my own. The silence on the way was unbearable. It had been a long time since I had been so nauseated by a simple silence.
"So why did you change your mind?" I looked up into the masked eyes of my childhood caretaker and frowned deeply.
"They made it pretty clear that they didn't need me pushing them around." He grinned.
"Pushing them around huh? Well, you were the leader that was your job." I nodded reluctantly, knowing he was right about it all.
"I know but something doesn't feel right about it." I could sense him lifting an eyebrow under his mask.
"Oh?" I grimaced and crossed my arms over my chest in deliberation.
"Raven wouldn't be so mad over something so unimportant." I pondered out loud. Bruce shrugged and kept his eyes on the road before us.
It finally came to me.
"She picked that fight…she did it deliberately!" at my sudden realization Bruce turned to me and patted me on the head.
"Took you a while but I think you got it." I glared at him menacingly, telling him to 'shut up and keep on driving.' Bruce chuckled. So I figured out that the fight was fake, but I still didn't know why she had faked it in the first place.
"Something just doesn't fit…" Bruce sighed beside me, probably knowing the answer, but I wasn't going to ask him to enlighten me. I shut my eyes as I felt the beginnings of a headache form.
"You're thinking too much Dick, relax and enjoy the ride." I heaved a sigh and leaned back into my seat.
"Something's up and I'm going to figure out what it is." Bruce tapped his fingers on the steering wheel.
"So…I sense there's something you're not telling me, about you leaving." I gave a psychotic chuckle.
"It's something you don't want to hear about." His tapping ceased.
"Look Dick, I know I'm not the kind of person you're used to talking about…things with, but I have been your age once, and I might be able to help." My eye's widened behind my mask.
"I left on bad terms with Starfire, she told me not to bother coming back."
"Ouch!" I laughed.
"That's what I said. I don't know, I guess I'm a little surprised…Kori's never said anything like that to me before." Bruce shrugged.
"Women, who needs them…"
"Not helping." Bruce smiled andI sat back even further in my chair.
"I'm sure things will work out." I grinned; if that was Bruce's way of comforting me then I should just put my Bird-a-rang to my head now.
But even so, I hoped he was right.
Hm…my delete key is sticky! Hope you liked it, I'll be up with a new chappy soon I hope. Thanx for the reviews!
