Starfire sat tied to a chair. Her head lay on her chest and slowly her eyes fluttered open. She was in a seemingly empty room. Footprints echoed and Falcon stepped into view smiling.
"Hello Starfire. I believe you know who I am, do you not?"
"Of course I do! You are Falcon and you are not a nice person!" She struggled tp break free of her restrains, but they were too strong. She was about to use her starbolts when Falcon put a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait. Before you break free, let me show you something. You say I'm a bad person. Has Raven told you told you what Robin did?" Starfire's head drooped a bit and she nodded. "I thought so. You're awfully fond of my brother aren't you? Of course you are. Don't try to say no, I've seen you. I have moniters in the tower. Oh, speaking of those moniters, that's what I wanted you to see!" She walked over to the wall opposite Starfire and pressed a button. Six screens lit up. "Now this scene might interest you." She flipped a switch and one of the screens showed Raven and Robin sitting together. His head was on her shoulder and he wore no mask. She had her arms around him and her head rested on his. Starfire's eyes grew wide and Falcon smiled.
"What sort of trickery is this?" she whispered, struggling to hold back tears.
"Oh, no trick my dear. This is what's happening at the tower right now. I must say, I'm just as surprised as you! I truly thought he liked you, but I suppose that's just the way men are, you can never tell what they're going to do next! Still, Raven? I thought he would have made a more discreet choice." Starfire thried to summon her starbolts, but her power would not respond. She squeezed her eyes shut. Why would Robin do this? And Raven. Hadn't Raven been in love with BB? She had thought so. Was everything she knew a lie? Every moment that she had looked at Robin and thought she saw his eyes behind his mask? She wanted to curl into a ball, hug her knees and cry. "Don't worry Star. You have me. How about I'll be your friend?" Falcon taunted.
"Not if you were the last one left in this universe!" Her eyes glowed green for a second. In rage, she forgot about her confusion, but it didn't last long.
"Your choice, but don't say I didn't offer," Falcon snapped, turning around. As she left the room the screens fell black, but the image they had just portrayed still danced in Star's mind. Alone, she let tears seep down her face and she cried her self to sleep.
Starfire's eyes snapped open and she found herself staring at her ceiling. She raised herself slowly and looked around. She was in her room. Carefully she stood and walked to her door. When it opened, she heard voices in the hall way. Turning to her left, she saw Beast Boy and Raven. They were hugging and Raven was whispering something in his ear. His head drooped as she pulled away from him. She glided down the hallway, seeming not to even see her, right past her. Starfire turned and saw Robin with his arms open to her. She fell into him and he embraced her. He buried his face in her soft cloak and ran his fingers through her hair. Starfire fell to her knees, eyes squeezed shut, hands clamped tight over her ears. "It's a lie, a lie."
Starfire's head snapped up and she found herself still tied to a chair. She heard footprints once again echoing in the empty room.
"Star?" Even whispering, Cyborg's voice echoed. He walked over. "Come on, let's get you out of here." He reached for the ropes and pulled them loose.
"Please, I-I do not wish to go."
"What! Star, what's the matter with you?" BB yelled, then remembered where they were and dropped his voice to a whisper.
"I no longer feel that I best belong there." She hung her head, trying to hide her tears. "I do not bellieve I am as wanted as I used to be."
"What are you talkin' about? Of course we want you," Cyborg said. He placed a hand on her cheek and pushed hair out of her face with his thumb. "What would make you think you we didn't?"
"Where are Robin and Raven?" Perhaps it was a trick after all.
"They stayed back at the tower. Rae can't use her powers and Robin was really upset."
"He, was upset?" Her eyes rose up to meet his.
"Yeah, of course he was. He's crazy about you. What did you think?"
"Well, Falcon had a moniter that showed him, and Raven, hugging, and..." Her head drooped again.
"Oh, Star, no! He was upset. Raven was there for him. She's his friend." Starfire's eyes lit up(not literally)and she hugged him.
"Alright, yeah great, but we definately need to get out of here," BB said, glancing around nervously. The others nodded and followed him to the doorway, but it fell shut before they could exit.
"I don't think so. I promised Robin he wouldn't get you back, and that's a promise I intend to keep."
