Blue Eyed Grangon Girl: Yes, it does have a gap in there about their clothing, good eye! I was sort of was using the same concept like which was used in "Date With Destiny" how Robin just removed his tux and there it was, his uniform! Your reading is fine. I hope tha answers your question.

Chapter Five: Stolen and Shattered

The Boy Wonder managed to grasp a glance at the figure who had revealed his identity, ''The Ring Master'' was an adolescent male. With eyes that had no pupils, no color at all, it was just white and only white rimmed with black tears that were small and painted to a dangerous curve on the edge of his cheekbone. His brunette-black hair that was so perfectly combed to the back of his head to add to his mysterious appearance, he had a collar long-sleeved-body jumpsuit that was addressed to look similar to a mime's. With horizontal black and white stripes across his strong and well-formed body, calf-lengthened jet-black boots with slightly baggy midnight blue pants and a polka-dotted tie. The entire costume cluttered together made The Ring Master himself look like a gothic-twisted version of a circus instructor or performer. Despite his disgusting fashion, he had a decently handsome face.

But a moment was all he had for Robin went back to battle with The Ring Master's hand gestured-like circus decoys. Just the word ''circus'' brought back fear and hate to Robin's heart, he dared not speak of it, it was forbidden. It was thought of like a plague 10 times more worse than death, meant to be locked away and never to be heard, seen, or discussed again. Despite it all, Robin was face-to-face with it's relevant, and had to no choice but to keep contact with it all.

The Tamaranean rose back on her feet to resume her fighting, with her large eyes highlighted green ready to battle against the torturous blue.

The Ring Master had his hand motioned and ready like a deadly weapon on the verge of firing, but when he saw the alien's incomparable face and beauty (with addition of her flawless body) his mouth was left agape. He lowered his hand, forfeiting their war.

''I have never seen a more precious face…'' The Ring Master gasped under his breath ''…With such power and delicacy at the same moment, so gorgeous and indescribable''

He collapsed on his knees ignoring the absolute crack that was in effect with contact on the cement floor, his eyes never blinking with their immovable stare.

''Surrender, I do not wish to fight you, please'' the innocent Tamaranean requested, her eyes narrowing at him with curiosity

He ignored her request for the moment. "And you are…?" He asked through the new sincerity of his blank eyes "Such a beauty that could put warmth in a cold and lonesome heart…." He whispered as he grasped her soft, fair hands in his

The Robin turned his head completely, and feeling the blood that had currently rested in his anatomy rush to his face in fury. He had never heard such malarkey said as he stroke the last circus-like decoy with his staff.

He began to charge with a flare of jealousy and hate flow in his body with more rage than he was committing to stop the criminal reflecting in his mind. The Ring Master faced the charging fighter, but didn't feel the need to reposition on his feet.

''Such people have lack of manners, please wait for your time to SPEAK!''

With that said, The Ring Master quickly whipped his single finger in a circular motion with a trail of blue energy following. And when the rotation was complete, Robin saw The Ring Master had created a large circus-like ring and then tossed it low at his feet. It had came so fast Robin did not have a considerate second to jump over it as the large hoop secured and tied Robin at his feet.

The Ring Master smiled evilly in victory as he turned his head back to the confused Tamaranean.

''Your lips…." He said hazily as he gazed at the object in question "…such a virgin shine, a mackintosh apple ripe for the tasting…tell me, my sweet dove, may I have taste?" He purred as he teasingly approached closer to her

Starfire then understood that this circus criminal was a psychotic madman pleading for such outrageous requests as she immediately snatched her hand away from his.

''You are insane! Get away from me! I do not wish to see your lips anywhere other than behind bars!'' she screamed as her hands now readied with her powerful starbolts

''I am afraid that is quite possible if it can bring me to you…only if you come for visiting hours" The Ring Master winked devilishly as he shifted his knees trying to get as close to the beckoning alien as they would admit

''You shall not near me! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!'' She shouted at the top of her voice

At that second the infuriated Tamaranean accelerated her rage through her eyes, but missed her target as she saw him cartwheel out of the energy's path.

The circus demon motioned his hand in the direction of his black cobra that had already stroke the Changeling that laid helplessly on the ground.

Starfire gasped at the sight "YOU…. YOU HURT HIM!"

''Indeed I have, my dear, and to extend this conflict, my snake is enhanced with cyanide venom and in less than three minutes it all shall be clotted and attacking it's victim's brain. Obviously then it will destroy and shut off his nervous system and kill him, and believe me, my dear it is not such a pleasant death'' he informed as he transformed the black snake to resort to the black whip it was before with an evilly cunning smile

Starfire looked at Beast Boy, his body making brief quivers, she could feel the heat that was rushing through his body the venom was causing. Her mind raced.

''VERY WELL! ANYTHING! JUST PLEASE STOP IT! STOP HIS PAIN! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU REQUEST!'' she shouted noting every second she was wasting, hoping that Beast Boy would survive

''Excellent'' The Ring Master purred

He took a strong grip on his whip and than slashed it hard on the floor, the minute Starfire heard the hiss from the whip: the ring around Robin's ankles was banished, Raven had regained her sight, and Cyborg's system was active. Terra, however, was still out cold from the blow to her head.

''You have your friend... and I have my love, follow me if you will, unless of courseyou want the image of your friend's corpse to linger in your heads for all eternity, for you only have three minutes to aid him...THREE MINUTES''

And with that, The Ring Master whipped his whip again and coiled it around Starfire's tender waist as he heaved her next to him.

''Hurry, every second counts'' he mocked as he rested his arm around Starfire's delicatewaist and flashed his whip one more time, and in a second blue smoke descended...

Robin gasped.

He charged after her while Raven and Cyborg ran to Beast Boy's aid.

But all was too late...

They were gone...

''STARRRRFIIIIAAARRR!''
