Killing Time
The Titans had found no trace of Slade coming in the house. Starfire wondered if she might have had an illusion. The rest of them agreed that she might have just imagined him, the told her that it was her anxiety of Slade messing with her head.
Another day, the Titans left Starfire alone in the house, not trusting Slade. They told her not to open the doors or any windows. They told her to be safe.
"Don't burn down the Tower," Beast boy called out.
It had been an hour since the Titans had been gone. She wanted to do something to kill time. She decided to fall asleep. She dreamed of Slade getting her, she awoke sweaty and panting. She walked out of her room and into the living room, still the Titans were not back. She began to worry. She went into the kitchen and made herself something, even that didn't help kill time. She went to the couch and turned on the television and she flipped to each channel, each one boring her.
"Wow, she didn't burn down the tower, surprising," came Raven's voice. Starfire turned around to see the Titans coming in. She was so happy to see them again.
"What took you so long?" Starfire asked.
"Chasing villains for a long time," Robin told her sitting down on the couch. Starfire scooted next to Robin on the couch and cuddled next to him. Beast boy and Cyborg sat on the couch to watch what Starfire and Robin was watching. Raven went into her room to meditate. Starfire was cheerful not to see Slade or the imagination of Slade. She hoped that Slade would never come again and she hoped that he would never see him.
That night, Starfire had terrible dreams of Slade. It was a nightmare, Slade trying to kill her and making her fall down a cliff, she awoke when she almost fell to the floor. She panted uncontrollably, she became paranoid. She wanted to go outside to feel the breeze, but she knew what the Titans said to her. Slade could be right outside waiting for her, she felt like she could feel it. All the thoughts about Slade kept her up, she heard Slade's voice over and over. She tried to make it go away. Then she screamed, she hoped she didn't wake the others, the thoughts rushed into her head making her insane. She fell back to sleep.
