Chapter Six: The Psions

"It's not like everyone's gonna walk up to you and say 'Ohmigod! Your knees are so damn ugly!'" Steph

Titans Tower: 3:00 am

Silence blanketed the dark tower thickly. In the living room two figures sat, asleep on the couch, cuddled together her head on his chest. The other Titans were fast asleep in their rooms. The clock struck three-oh-one and a loud alarm, followed by a blinking crimson light blared throughout the Tower and the Titans lept into action. Raven shot up from the couch, thankful that nobody had seen that she and Beast Boy had fallen asleep on the couch after they came home from getting ice cream. She made her way to the computer and took out the keyboard, her fingers moving swiftly over the keys as the others stumbled into the room, rubbing the sleep from their eyes.

"Wh-who is it, Raven?" Robin asked through a yawn.

Raven turned to face them, a mix of confusion and anxiety crossed her features. "It doesn't say. I tried everything, but nothing will come up. This has to be somebody with highly advanced technology, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to avoid us finding out who they are."

Four of the five friends looked at eachother in confusion, but Starfire seemed to be lost in thought. She made her way to the computer motioning for Raven to move out of her way and began typing frantically, her fingers gliding over the keys for several seconds before several strange symbols popped up on the screen. "It's the Psions." she whispered, her voice hollow and emotionless. "Leave them to me." She left the room in a rush, barely aware that she was still in her pajamas.

"Where's she going?" Beast Boy asked stupidly.

"We can't let her go out there by herself to fight alone." Robin said. "Who's with me?" As they all reached a silent decision, they ran out after her to the front of the Tower where she was floating several feet off the ground, lime green light encircling her fists. Standing before her were several aliens who greatly resembled giant lizzards with leathal spikes protruding from their arms.

"It seems that at least one of our experiments is doing well," the one who appeared to be the leader hissed, advancing slowly on the girl in front of him. Starfire narrowed her eyes and growled at him retreating a few feet, still unaware of her friends.

"What do you want with me?"

"What any master wants. His servant back."

Starfire's eyes widened and she immediately dropped to her feet, the aura fading from her hands. "No. I won't go back," she declared backing up and bumping into Robin, who encircled his arms around her shoulders. She jumped in surprise and gasped. "Robin! You have to get inside! All of you!"

"No, Star." Robin said as the Psions started forward once again.

"You are coming back, Koriand'r of Tamaran, and you will like it." the second Psion grabbed her roughly by the arm, jerking her from Robin's arms. "Our experiments were never complete before you got free, and we intend to complete them!" Starfire wrenched her arm free of his grasp and her powers once again flared up.

"I'm not going." Her voice was little more than a whisper that was nearly carried away by the breeze that rolled off the ocean at that moment in time. "If you want me to go, you'll have to kill me. Your experiments were but torture given to me and my sister for your own amusement. Our bodies absorbed the solar energy, and you failed. Needless to say, you were mad about it, weren't you? You ruined my people and killed my parents and my brother. That's not something I will forgive you easily. The torture, the powers, yes I'll forgive you for that. But for killing my family, no." The starbolts she clutched in her fists brightened into a blinding white light, her eyes turning the same color. Raven gasped.

"She's losing control of her powers!" she told the others. "We have to get back inside, otherwise she could kill us all." She, Beast Boy, and Cyborg all turned to go inside, but Robin stayed put.

"Robin, come on man! She'll be fine!" Cyborg insisted. Starfire turned around and looked at them all.

"Go! Get inside!" she yelled. Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg obeyed her immediately. "Robin, please." Star begged, the light softly fading from her hands as she touched down in front of him. "Please, just go back inside. You'll be safer there. I could never forgive myself if I killed you. Just...keep this safe for me." In his hand, she placed the tiny silver ring that she had worn so proud.

"Star..."

"Robin, I still love you. I still want to spend the rest of my life with you, even if these are my last moments. Just keep it safe. Please." It wasn't a question. Robin nodded and closed his hand over it, capturing her lips in a kiss, a kiss that he knew might be the last he ever gave her. Starfire pulled away quickly and turned to face the Psions, who had been watching this dumbfounded but soon regained their composure and struck fighting stances as the alien princess took flight again. Robin turned and sprinted into the tower and up to the living room where the others were watching her face them by herself.

Starfire's hair lifted into the air, rippling around her face as if a strong wind was soaring through the air at that moment. Her powers quickly took over her body, lifting her higher into the air and making her glow with an almost angelic light.

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this," Robin thought as he watched on. "We were supposed to get married and start a family."

The Titans watched as the white light was expelled from her body in great waves and the Psions tried to retreat, only to find themselves trapped by Starfire at the front and the edge of the island at the back.

"Live the rest of our lives together. Be happy."

Her powers ripped from her body, throwing themselves at the enemy with immense force. The light grew brighter and the Titans were forced to shut their eyes tightly.

"I don't think I can live without her. God, please let her survive this."

And as soon as it started, it ended and the white darkened into black, suffocating the tower and its inhabitants with its darkness.

"How's she doin'?"

"She'll be fine. She's bruised up pretty bad, but she'll be okay once she regains conciousness and rests for a little bit."

"What about Robin?"

"He still hasn't left his room."

"What should we do?"

"We can't do anything for him, Beast Boy. But he'll be fine if we just leave him alone."

"But, Rae-"

"Just trust her, B. Raven knows what she's talkin' 'bout."

Starfire's eyes fluttered open, and she dimly saw the three sihlouettes in the next room quickly exit one by one. Wondering how long she'd been out, she sat up, wincing as she touched one of the bruises on her side, and slipped out of the infirmary bed barely prepared for the shock of the stone cold floor on her bare feet. She padded down the hallway to her room, passing the others' on her way. As she passed by Robin's, she saw a light and then the Boy Wonder sitting on his bed with his head in his hands.

"Robin?" Starfire whispered, knocking lightly on his door. She heard the creak of bedsprings as he stood up and the door swooshed open a few seconds later.

"Star?" Robin choked out. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Robin, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Don't ever do that again, Star," he said, crushing her to his chest. "Don't ever scare me like that again." Suddenly it struck him that Starfire was out of bed when she shouldn't have been. "You should be in bed! What are you doing?"

"Um..."

"You're going back to bed right now." Robin declared, picking her up and starting off down the hallway.

"Robin! Robin, put me down right now!" Starfire shrieked as he carried her the rest of the way to her room.

A few hours later, Robin snuck back to her room to find Starfire fast asleep, the early morning sunlight glinting off her hair. He walked softly across the room and pulled the white curtains shut, cutting off the radiance somewhat, then crawled in next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, inhaling the scent of berries that was wafting off her hair and thanking the Lord that she was okay.

So, what did you think? That was the longest chapter yet! I'd really apprieciate it if you could review and answer the poll. And please forgive me if I got the wrong enemy in this. I didn't know if it was the Gordanians or the Psions who gave her her powers or what, so I'm sorry if I got it wrong.

Poll: What's your favorite chapter and why?

Thankies!
