V: The Greatest Light Show Ever pt 2
"Whoa check it out" beamed Beast Boy pointing towards a model jet.
"Yeah, so what" said Cyborg uncaring.
"So what! Are you crazy this is the faster passenger jet in the universe" yelled Beast Boy making airplane noises with his mouth.
Cyborg shook his head as his communicator on his arm lit up.
"Anything so far?" asked Robin.
"Nothing at all" replied Cyborg. "Maybe he's not coming."
"No, he's coming" said Robin. "Keep watch."
"Right." Cyborg's arm linked off. "Now what are you doing!" he asked motioning to Beast Boy who was doing the airplane.
"Uh nothing" said Beast Boy cracking a smile.
They were in The Museum of Science and Technology in downtown Jump City. Cyborg had predicted that Dr. Light would come here next so they immediately went there. The titans broke into three groups of two to watch the three main entrances.
Robin and Raven calmly guarded one of the exits. Robin stood around looking at the artifacts while Raven hovered off the ground in a state of meditation.
"So what do you think?" asked Robin.
"About what"
"About these upgrades that some of these criminals have acquired, Adonis, Cardiac, and now Dr. Light."
"It kinda bother's me you know? These have been some of the weaker criminals who have received these upgrades, I start to wonder if the strong will receive them too" said Raven coming out of her meditation.
"So you think someone is supplying them too huh?" said Robin.
"Yes, how else can they receive such upgrades, there must be a bigger picture here that were not getting" said Raven.
Robin began to think putting his detective skills to work. "Who could be strong enough to supply them?"
"I don't know but when we find out we'll have to be careful about how we take them on. Anyone who can turn Dr. Light into a killing machine must be powerful" said Raven.
"Heh, wow" replied Robin. He opted to change the topic for the time being. "So what of Siege, he's turning out to be quite the teammate."
For once Raven had to agree. Siege had been great at almost everything. He listened to Raven when it came to meditation and how to use his powers effectively. He got along with each of the Titans well as if he had been there all along and his powers proved very useful in tight situations. In her opinion he was a better Titan then Terra ever was. But then she had her own personal reason for not liking her.
"Siege is great, I guess we kinda misjudged him when he first came" she said.
"Yeah." Robin felt kind of awkward. He and Raven shared a bond that could never be broken. It had created itself when she entered Robin's mind to find out why Robin kept seeing Slade at one point. Yet with that she was able to see a whole lot more that Robin had kept secret from anyone and everyone. Although he didn't ask for the bond there was no one else that he would have rather shared it with. He felt safer knowing that Raven knew and nobody else because Raven was one never to tell secrets. She could be highly trusted.
Robin looked at Raven who was examining some planetary models. The girl really was pretty under all the toughness and attitude. She was truly different but so that she really proved to be special. Their relationship was one of question. One could assume but even then could still be highly unsure. One thing that was true was that they had something that was a little closer than friends.
They just had to find out what.
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Starfire flew up to the spaceships and planes that hung from the roof in an exhibit. She admired the flying technology of mankind as shown at the tower whenever she got into the T-Ship. She flew over to Siege who was on a balcony scoping for Dr. Light to possibly make an air attack yet still watch the ground at the same time.
"There has been no sign of Dr. Light has there?" she asked.
"Not at all" said Siege starting to get frustrated. "I don't get what he needed from here, but we've been here four hours already." He took out his communicator to see the time.
2:24am.
He gave a long sign. He wasn't even close to being tired, but his patience could only go so far.
"Maybe he will not come" said Starfire.
"You know Star I think your right" Siege replied looking up at the glass on the ceiling.
Starfire looked up curious at what Siege was looking at but saw nothing. "Does something in the sky catch your attention?" she asked.
Siege smiled. "The Stars."
Starfire looked up once more to realize what he was talking about. There were billions of stars out. She didn't think she ever saw that many stars ever on the many nights that she had spent on earth.
"They are amazing yes?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful."
"I know I have."
"You have? Tell me what have you seen that's matches the beauty of the stars."
"Another star…you."
Starfire looked at Siege. He caught her eyes and turned to her.
"Siege…" she began to blush.
Siege quickly tried to redeem himself. "I'm sorry Starfire, I didn't mean to-"
He stopped when Starfire put a finger on his lips. "Siege… this feels what you say is awkward. But I cannot hide from the truth when I say that I feel that you are someone special."
They stared at each other as the moonlight began to streak through the glass ceiling. The room lit with white light all around them. Siege couldn't wait anymore. He wasn't one to hide his true feelings, or not when he had a perfect chance.
"Star, I-" Siege started but for some reason couldn't finish. Starfire realizing what she thought was happening moved in closer to him.
Siege began to tense up not expecting Starfire to be like this. He had never seen her look so serious even more so then their encounter in her room.
"Do you wish to be with me?" she asked calmly.
They were so close that Siege could feel her breath brush his lips. Then Siege started to remember how it got to this point. Dozens of flashbacks crossed his mind at once. He remembered doing everything with her. When everybody else was busy he found a way to hang with her despite weather he was busy or not. The mall, the diner, the beach they had done more together then she had done with any other Titan in a matter of two weeks.
…
…
…
Siege's mind rushed back to him. Without even realizing, his mouth began to move. "Yes, Starfire. I want to."
Starfire smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Their eyes caught again as their lips began to move closer to each other. They were close enough to exchange breath when Siege's communicator beeped.
They instantly let go of each other and prepared to fight. Siege opened his communicator revealing Robin.
"Any sign of Light?" he asked.
Siege let out an even longer sign and flatly said "No."
"I don't know what's going on but I feeling like we should head back" said Robin.
"Well we have been here for four hours" said Siege.
"You right. I guess we'll star-"
"You know you Titans are idiots." Robins face cut off and Dr. Light's image came on. "Come on Titans do you really think I would have waited until you got there to steal my new interstellar chip."
He laughed. Robin looked at Light. "What are you planning Light?" he asked angrily.
"Why my plan is simple, to destroy you. I have to destroy you to take over Jump City, well maybe not" said Dr. Light beaming.
"What are you talking about?" yelled Robin.
"My, my a little touchy aren't you. We I guess I can let you in on it. You see the sonic charger that I stole way before you got there combined with my electron configuration unit chip allows me to access infinite energy. But I don't need any of it to destroy you." He began to laugh again. "There's one other thing I have that I think I'll use."
Dr. Light held up an object that looked like a remote.
"What is that?" yelled Beast Boy looking at his communicator.
"It's a satellite link chip." Dr Light put the chip inside the pack on his back. "With it I control a little satellite that is mainly used to stop incoming missiles, a personal war stopper for Uncle Sam if you will. And next to be a Titan destroyer."
Siege and Starfire looked up as the white light began to turn into yellow light.
'Shit, this cant be good.' Siege thought to himself.
"What's going on?" yelled Beast Boy.
"We're a target" said Cyborg.
"Give or take in about fifteen seconds you'll all be gone" said Dr. Light calmly.
Robin's eyes widened as yellow light began to consume everything. He yelled at the top of his lungs. "TITANS OUT OF THE BUILDING NOW!"
"You can start your preparations now" said Dr. Light.
"For what" yelled Robin beginning to run.
For what you ask? …Heh, for the greatest light show you've ever seen.

V is done. VI coming in a day. Guess I started going somewhere with the relationships. Sorry but I can't break to you what's going to happen. You'll just have to wait and see. But they'll be surprises, that's a given. Also like I wrote before, you can try to guess but it'll probably turn out much different however I am keen to ideas from reviews so give your opinion and I'll see what I can do. I know this chapter was kind of short but the next will literally be almost three times as long. Craziest action I've ever done in any fic will be in this next chapter. For now though thanks for reading. FS out.
