Okay recap:

Raven's has been poisoned by Slade in a battle and is lying unconscious in bed. Her negative emotions have escaped and are reeking havoc in the real world her positive emotions were trapped in her mind by the negative emotions but found a way out and are trying to get into the real world. So far Cyborg and Beastboy have already fought. Now to the story

Starfire's Struggle

Starfire floated around curiously around the Titans' library. She was usually in the east wing of the large room where books of typical traditions of humans were located; Robin ordered them special for her. Now she wandered around the west wing where she spotted Raven many at time. Looking at each book she saw titles like; 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe, 'Speak' by Laurie Halse Anderson, and many books about ancient battles.

Soon she came upon an unlabeled book, It was large and, judging by the dust that covered it like a thick blanket, it hasn't been read in a long time. She picked up the book carefully and opened it to a random page but was disappointed to find it in another language. She was about to put the book down when she heard a crash from the entrance of the library.

She gasped and flew towards the sound of the noise. Sure enough a raven fitted in a purple cloak.

"Raven?" Starfire asked hopefully. The purple cloaked almost looked identical to Raven's blue that it was hard to tell the difference.

"No." The purple cloaked doppelganger sighed. "Despair."

"Oh." Starfire said recoiling a bit, then changed into her happy self almost instantaneously. "Would you like to be my friend!"

"I have no use for friends." Despair said in a monotone voice deeper than Raven's, it spat the last word out like venom.

"Everyone needs friends." Starfire said cheery.

"Not me." Despair hissed then charged at Starfire knocking her down.

Starfire 'eeped' and pushed Despair off. Starfire floated a few feet off of the ground and was about to fire a starbolt when Despair recovered and tackled her again in mid air.

The two were launched back by Despair's momentum and the friction, or lack, in the air. While being thrown into the oblivion they were both to busy fighting each other to notice, they each took and threw a series of punches, scratches and knees to the gut, before being thrown into the back wall. It was furnished with a wide window seat and mounds of fluffy pillows. The two girls landed in a pile of the fluffiness, their heads popping up from the pile moments after impact.

Apparently one of the pillows busted open and feathers were raining down on them. One landed on Starfire's nose making her sneeze out a starbolt, so to speak, at Despair who didn't have enough time to duck. Despair caught a direct hit in the chest with the starbolt and was propelled out of the jungle of pillows onto the hard wooden floor.

Despair looked as if the blow didn't faze her but you could tell from her smoking outer shell that the shot was obviously effective. Starfire cheered to herself and managed to get free from the pillows' evil grasp. (a/n: I always wanted to say that.)

"Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Despair shouted launching a magical attack at Starfire. She fell back, but recovered quickly, dove at Despair and landed a punch in her jaw. Despair was thrown back by the attack but kicked Starfire in the gut before she could get out of the way.

Both nursed their injuries momentarily but got back up ready to fight. At the same time they ready the conclusive attack of the short battle. (a/n: You know the last attack made that will decide the victor?)

Starfire focused all of her energies on her next attack, as did Despair. This was it. This is the blow that would decide who was the true master of magick bolts. This one blow would tell who of the two was the greater conjurer of suck attacks. It was this, on a much smaller scale of course.

The two launched their attacks in unison. There was a bright light then silence. Once the light faded the two still stood seemingly unharmed. They both wavered a bit but Despair fell to her knees and disappeared into the floor in a shadow. Starfire was now alone in the library breathing heavily. She took in a deep breath then fell to her knees…in tears. Her long, flowing red hair, was half its size concluding in uneven, rugged ends.

Sorry for the shortness, I'm a bit rusty. Okay review and I'll update (for real this time). If you feel the urge to nag me about it every chance you get go to my profile and register at my homepage, which actually isn't a homepage just a free message board. Okay next chapter:

Robin's R-something (I'll find a word for it eventually.)

I updated (finally) you review!
