Continueing...

Watching with ever growing self-indulgence,Slade could barely sit still as he observed his first offical plan going well underway and that everyone was once again unprepared to be seduced by someone they thought they could trust.The idea seemed to stretch out into an endless trail of oppurtunitys and direction,as Red X now had Robin in his reach.

"The only way to completely eliminate the Titans for good,is to pick them off slowly and carefully,one-by-one,"he spoke out to himself contrivantly and getting to his feet,strolled over to admire the first phase of everything he had worked so hard for the last year coming to pass,"And once thier out in the open and vurenable without the former leadership of Robin,thier friendship will either deteriorate into nothing but confusion and distrust or hopefully he can pull it off fully and lead them straight into thier own demise.And as soon as that happens,I'll time for my even bigger plan."

Back At The Show-All Auditorium...

Starfire floated catiously among the many entertainment centers and wide-screene plasima televisions,as an unfamiliar feeling started to knot within her and for some reason or another,made her more on edge then she cared to find herself.It was as though something were taking place without her or anyone else knowing,something horrible that she wasn't going to be able to prevent nor aviod.But the only problem was,she didn't know what it was.

With a twitchy hand,she reached down to feel the cool plastic surface of her communicater and raising it to her mouth,proceeded to report withthe slighty unsure feeling still crawling up inside of her,"Starfire to Robin..."she whiserpered in a low voice,as she gently drifted down towards the Earth and the eeriely,silenced response that followed her words made her even more nervous,"Starfire to Robin...do you read me?I cannot find any trace of a bomb so far."

But with no awnser heard,Starfire took a deep breath and releasing it,got back to her assignment by continueing to check around random and even complicated-looking machines while humming softly to an old Tamarian folk song she had known as a child to try and calm her nerves.I worry too much,she thought to herself reassuringly,poking curiously at alarge silver box that was only on display on top of a wall of other boxes.Eyeing one of the other boxed-up ones carefully,she discovered it was some sort of VHS,DVD,PS2 and MP3 player built in to one.However,she nearly keeled over once her verdant eyes caught the price,$799.99 but it was the sound of a high-pitched scream that made her jump.

"Raven!"Starfire cried her friend's name anxiously,loosing complete interest in the over-priced machine and swooping out of her store,started towards the direction in which she had heard it coming from.Whizzing through the main lobby,she found the shop not far with the sign that read 'Art Displays And Auctions' and saw a pale-looking Raven clutching herself in shookenly next to a folded-up canvas leaning againist the wall,"Raven,"she inquired her friend softly,trying her best not to alarm her more,"What has happened?Are you alright?"

However,the seventeen-year-old was too shocked and breathless that she couldn't even begin to speak.Her deep azure-purpurate eyes were widened with horror lining them and her breathing was coming out in short,mercurial gasps.As if she had witnessed something beyond anyone's comprehension and to speak it out loud could be too unstable for anyone else to know.But refusing to let even that knowledge stop her,Starfire pulled her friend's arm over her shoulder and carefully began to support Raven's,as well as her own,weight.Holding down the urge to shout out for as not to activate the boom that she assumed may still have been inside,Starfire started to walk with Raven steadily towards and out the enterance,that's when she spotted Cyborg and Beast Boy racing towards the two of them hurriedly.

"What's going on?"Cyborg asked promptly,taking in the sight of a worried Starfire and a completely dazed-looking Raven,"OK,"he began slowly,keeping whatever surprised feelings that aroused within him unexpressed so as not to cause anymore damange what appeared to be an already mixed situtation,"Why did Raven scream and what happened to her?"

Starfire sighed unwittingly,"I do not know,"she admitted with concern still etched in her face,as she glanced over to re-examine Raven,"I just heard her scream loudly and when I came to where she was...she cannot speak so far and wears a face of one who is frightend."

"Dude,"Beast Boy intervened in a impromptu voice,his dark emerald eyes caught on the girl he secretly had feelings for's completely blanched face,"She looks like she hasn't slept in four months..."but he allowed his words to fall flat,as he came over and offered to help Starfire by slinging her other arm around his neck,"So you didn't see anything that made her scream?"

"No."Starfire reclaimed more flusteredly,her face and voice becoming increasingly tightened withg reatly bothered tension for the guy she could never cease thinking of,who she could never at nearly any given time nowadays care about,"Ohhh...where could Robin be right now?"

"Right here,Starfire,"Came a slightly exasperated but almost identical voice and as they all turned as one,saw Robin moving somehow charyily down the stairs as he went,"I didn't manage to locate the bomb but once I heard Raven scream,I didn't want to take off running or anything to set off anything,"he told them as he approached closer,his eyes darting from face-to-face in unsure glances,"Because of course we don't know what might trigger it to go off or even how it got here in the first place..."

Starfire found herself making eye contact with Robin also,"Raven requires medical attention,something has brought her into this almost zombified-like state,"even as she told him this was concern towards her friend's health evident in her eyes and voice,something inside of her didn't permitt her to look at Robin in the eyes,something she didn't know hot to explain,still she went on resistantly,"I found her this way,we should leave right now."

Without no more words exchanged,the team started together out of the huge Auditorium together and knew they would explain that they hadn't found,detected or heard anything unusal but just to warn officers not to take any risks until they could be back after they had gotten help for Raven.But unbeknownest to them,they had a lot more to worry about.As adark figure watched them leave from the many twisting and turning pipes up above and with no knowledge other then the Teen Titans were his absolute enemies to go by.He knew what he must dedicate his life too.

My gosh...what'll happen now?Find out in ch. 4!
