Chapter 14. Where to turn.
Starfire trudged towards home, following the directions Slade had "provided" her with. She had already hit six cities. Although she was strong she had been walking for around three hours strait and was tired. She sat down to take a break. An image flashed through her mind.
What if her team didn't want her back? They most probably didn't. She had betrayed them, hurt them horrifically. But it was her Starfire. She always knew how to make things right. This time, it felt different. Starfire boldly decided to go home, she knew Cyborg would listen; he was like her older brother. Robin would most likely listen to, he had no choice being leader, Raven and Beast Boy, it was up to them to choose.
Sorrow and fear was heavy in her heart and mind. All the situations of the possible Titans answers to her played in her mind.
"I'm sorry Starfire, you betrayed us. I'm going to ask you to leave" Starfire shuttered when the voice of Robin played in her mind. It was so strong and the voice he used when he addressed bad guys.
Dark came before Starfire knew it. She saw a few lights about a mile up, she started to run towards the source. Four minutes later she reached a beautiful Victorian house. "This must be the seventh city" Starfire murmured to herself. She ran to the front door of the home and knocked. A snooty lady around 40 years old answered the door.
"If you're selling something I'm not interested" she said looking down at Starfire. Starfire smiled cockily.
"Hello miss, my name is Starfire, I am with the Teen Titans" She said extending her hand. The lady only raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, I've heard about you, what do you want?" She questioned. Starfire's sweat dropped and she blushed.
"I was wandering, I have been traveling for a long time, and I have had my powers taken away. Might I do the 'crashing' at you lovely home?" Starfire asked hopefully. The lady sighed and opened the door.
"Sure, come on in" Starfire followed the kind lady in and gasped at the beauty of her home. "Follow me" The woman led her down a twisted hallway and opened a dark oak wood door. "There, you can stay in here, I'll bring you food in a moment" She said and closed the door. Starfire walked deeper into the room. It was a room made for a boy, blue and plain. Airplane models speckled the shelves and hung from the ceiling. There was a wooden dresser across from the blue bed. She walked over to the wooden chest that was at the foot of the king sized bed, and opened it. Her eyes sparkled when she saw its contents. Weapons resembling robins filled it to the brim, when she herd a noise behind her she shut the drawer and turned around, although no one was there, she noticed a dark blue slip carefully sprawled on the bed. She gently picked up a slip and held it to her chest. She twirled around the room but dropped the dress when she saw the woman staring at her, a smirk of amusement was played across her thin lips.
"Having fun?" the woman asked Starfire as she walked deeper into the room. Starfire smiled at her and blushed.
"Your articles of clothing are quite exquisite" Starfire courteously replied. The lady set a painted plate of blue china on top of the king sized bed.
"This was my son's room" the woman said tears filling her eyes. "You need to eat. Please feel free to wear the slip; it belonged to me when I was about your age."
"Please, I do not understand" Starfire said, "when you said 'was'" she continued.
"My son, Robert or Dick, died three years ago, he would be sixteen now" she said sadly
"Please Mrs. what is your name?" Starfire asked batting her long eyelashes at the lady.
"I'm Mrs. Grayson" the woman replied and then left. No sooner had she left the room, Starfire's jaw dropped. She contemplated her strange situation over a hearty meal and a long nights rest.
Starfire woke up to the sun light streaming through the window. She stretched and crawled out of the covers. After a moment of searching she found a pen and piece of paper and wrote a quick thank you note. She had no intention of saying goodbye to the woman. She did not know if she would be able to keep the secret of knowing where her son was. As soon as the letter was complete, she opened the window and jumped out. Starfire started to fall. She tried to fly, but then remembered her powers had been taken away. She stopped herself from screaming and landed roughly with a thud on the ground. When she recovered she started to run.
Starfire continued to run for another two day's; she was at the eighteenth city, only two more to go. The girl panted for air, her clothes were even more rugged and torn than before, she was dirty and besides her attempts to comb her hair with her fingers, it was still matted and tangled. Her body was begging her to stop, but she couldn't, there was a strange tug on her heart telling her that she had to return home.
BACK AT TITANS TOWER:
For the past day's Robin had been tending to his team mate's wounds, Raven was able to walk and function pretty well for the most part, but Cyborg and Beast Boy were in bad shape. Raven and Robin had spent hours picking out the small shards of brick lodged in the half robot's body, and the green boy could not move, even if he wanted to. Everything had started to get to Robin, guilt was rising in his mind, it was his fault that any of this had happened, he had been the one who had made her start. Why couldn't he just quit? Why did he have to drag his love into this? Why couldn't he have just let her live a happy life? So many questions he couldn't answer. The boy wander hung his head in shame. He had made a decision, to end this once and for all.
"I'll be back in a little while" The black haired teen suddenly said and got up. He journeyed to his room and locked the door. The boy wander approached a high tech silver stereo and turned it on full blast. Linkin Park's Breaking the Habit boomed through the speakers. Robin double checked to make sure that the door was locked before proceeding to his closet. He slid the mirrored door open and stepped into the small space as far as he could. A small box teased his foot. He peered down through his mask and stared at the blood red box. Taking a deep breath, he picked it up and climbed out of the small space. The boy hastily moved over to his bed and gently laid the box over the neatly made sheets. Robin removed the lid and stared at its contents, pictures filled it to the top, he reached in and shoveled them out as quickly as he could with his hands. As they fluttered to the floor, one caught his eye. He picked it up, tears welled in his eyes.
"Starfire…" he whispered. There she was, looking him back in the eyes, she was beaming. His hand that was still in the box hit its target. He allowed his hand to travel up and down the object until he hit a trigger. Robin nodded his head and smiled sadly; he removed the gun and set it on his pillow. Then he moved over to his desk to find a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbled a small short sentence.
"It's all my fault, I'm sorry" After finishing the letter he tacked it to the wall just above his bed. He grabbed the gun off his white crisp pillow and loaded bullets into it.
STARFIRE:
Starfire increased her speed; the pull that she felt tugging at her heart was becoming stronger. Something was wrong, she knew it. Lucky for her, the nineteenth city was small; she dashed through it in a matter of five minutes. Then her eyes hit her destination, Jump City. She could see the top of Titans Tower peaking through the morning fog. The Tameranian girl felt a pain stab through her chest, but continued on as quickly as she could.
"Please….hold on" Starfire whispered to herself as she crossed the bridge that connected to the tower. She flung the two front doors open and ran to the elevator. The elevator stopped and dropped her at the infirmary. The girl's eyes widened at the sight she saw. Raven was bent over a not moving Beast Boy rewrapping his bandages, Cyborg was desperately trying to reconstruct a new leg with all that was left of his crumbled hands. The two looked up at the noise.
"Starfire" Raven whispered with hatred, her eyes lit up white ready to attack with all that she had. Tears welled in Starfire's eyes.
"Please, Raven, where is Robin?" Starfire asked hoarsely in a hurried voice.
"Why would you care?" she answered "Do you want to hurt the only person on our team who isn't in bad condition so that you can finish us off?" Raven hissed at her.
"Raven something is terribly wrong, please you must tell me where Robin is" Starfire whimpered she looked at Cyborg for help.
"He's in his room" Cyborg answered. "But Starfire, I swear, if you do anything…" he stopped in mid sentence, but Starfire was already gone. The girl sped down the halls and came to the door marked ROBIN. She pounded on the door.
"ROBIN, PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR" Starfire screamed, as she pounded.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR:
The song had switched from breaking the habit to Numb.
"Every step that I take is another mistake to you…..
I've become so numb I cant feel you there…" Robin sang out, tears spilling down his cheeks. He finished loading the gun and unlocked the safety. After a moment of looking at the gun, he could have sworn he heard Starfire's voice. But shrugged off that fantasy, or was it torture? Robin reassured the gun was fully loaded and aimed it at his head. His pointer finger moved and started to pull the trigger. There was a loud crash and Starfire was standing in the mouth of a hole in the wall.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" She screamed out desperately as she heard a loud 'bang'
