Enchanted Mind of the Blackbird

Chapter Fourteen:

Heartbreakers

"What is the meaning of this?" Starfire asked. Beast Boy couldn't tell if she were about to cry or get angry. Neither of which appealed to him.

"Starfire, it's not what it- I mean I don't - I - uh - how long have you been standing there?" Robin finished lamely, his gaze falling to the dark floor.

"Long enough." Starfire said, voice cracking. Beast Boy's blood began to boil. He was quickly becoming pissed at the two Titan's before them. It wasn't fair that their hormones were upsetting Starfire, a person who didn't deserve that kind of emotional pain. It was like a slap in the face. A sort of mockery. "I know you like me but I'm gonna go make out with his person anyway." sort of thing.

He pushed past the two and gently grabbed Starfire's arm and began leading her to the living room. To his slight surprise, she didn't object and actually followed him willingly. They were half way down the hallway when Robin found his voice again.

"It was an accident, Star!"

Starfire stopped walking, but she didn't turn around. Beast Boy understood why. She didn't want him to see the tears sliding down her face. His heart gave a painful lurch and found his anger rising again.

"If it is an accident then why does it keep happening?" She asked and waited for his response. "I see that the Grishnik has gotten your tongue again." And with that she linked her arm with his and began walking away.


"Love sucks." Beast Boy said bitterly as the Ferris wheel started to move. Starfire and Beast Boy had decided to go to the carnival to try to drown out their blues. Beside him Starfire gave a feeble sniffle.

"Yes. On my planet this counts as the highest insult." She said staring up at the night sky. Beast Boy found that he felt very sorry for the Tamaranian girl, but was surprised at how well she was taking it if it was a high insult. He sat back resting his head on his arms and stared up at the star littered sky, his mind full with thoughts. Love really did suck because things had now changed between the Titans. Starfire and he were annoyed with Raven and Robin who seemed to be going through some sort of lust fest. And now that Starfire was mad at Robin he'd be annoyed with Raven who in turn would be annoyed with him and Cyborg would be mad at everyone for putting him smack dab in the middle of it.

But just how bad would things get? It was only a couple of love problems between roommates...

"I think I will pay a visit to Tamaran."

Beast Boy blinked several times. It seemed so random that he wasn't sure if he heard correctly.

"Sorry?"

Starfire looked at him and she had a look of such determination that he was certain he had heard correctly. "I am going back to Tamaran." Beast Boy sat upright so abruptly, that booth they were sitting in swung violently. Starfire warned him to be careful as she put one hand on the roof and one on the side to steady herself.

"But you're coming back right?" He asked. When she repeated herself it sounded more like a permanent decision. Starfire didn't reply.

"Perhaps we should return to the Tower?" She suggested. "I fear for what would happen during our absence."

Starfire had made it quite clear that the subject was closed for discussion right now. Maybe she hadn't made up her mind yet, or maybe she did. Either way they two got off the Ferris wheel and made their way back to the tower. The entered it expecting to hear a very loud discussion between the remaining Titans but when they made their way into the living room they were slightly shocked to see it silent, still, and empty. That is, until they reached the hallway where a certain two Titans were so entangled in each other it was hard to tell where one Titan ended and the other began.

Raven was up against the wall; hands around the boy wonders neck and Robin had his hands placed on the wall on either side of the Goth girl's head. The sight of them made Beast Boy turn away repulsed. But when he did so he noticed the tall redhead wasn't by his side anymore. He tossed the horny couple a dirty look that went unseen and ran off to find his friend. He knew where she went; he just hoped he got there in time before she did something.

The green changeling came to a stop in front of the alien Princess's room slightly out of breath. He raised a gloved hand to knock but remembered that there was a possibility that she wouldn't be there. So he just walked in. There was good news and bad news. The good news was that she was still there; the bad news was that she was holding a pink backpack and her window was open.

"Starfi-"

"Please hold your tongue." Starfire said, closing the pink bag and slipping it on her shoulders. "I am going to Tamaran, I do not know when I will be back."

"But you're coming back, right?" Beast Boy asked, prepared for the worst.

"Most likely. Earth is my home now. You and the rest have shown me the hospitality I did not receive on Tamaran. But I am going because I need to think."

"You couldn't just... lock yourself up in your room like a normal teenager?" Beast Boy asked. He meant it to be light, but there was serious undertone to it. Starfire just looked at him bitterly.

"Perhaps when I return there will be less things that disgust me here." The comment made Beast Boy flinch even though he knew whom the comment was directed at. Even so he still found it to be slightly coldhearted... but he also found the he didn't really care. The little show the other two Titans had put on was really a disgrace, especially after what they had witnessed beforehand.

"Fear not, I will return." Starfire said and walked over to him to give him a sisterly peck on the cheek. "Please tell friend Cyborg that said bye." And with that she flew out of the window. The whole situation pissed Beast Boy off, and unbeknown to him, it would be what made him start to make bad decisions.


A/N: Uh oh. Starfire's out of the picture now, but for how long? And Beast Boy is out of Rae's mind so why is she still making out with the Boy Wonder? Does Cyborg even have a clue as to what's going on? Stay turned and you might just find out! (In a series of chatpers of course, otherwise I wouldn't have much of a story now would I?)

Once again, I remind you to review before you leave. It inspires me and thus makes i for your benifit. :-D
