Chapter 5
AGAIN?
Starfire was just about to say something when the door became black and was torn off its hinges. They turned to find the four titans standing in the doorway looking very angry but not at Starfire - at Red X.
"Are you kids still here, I thought Starfire told you lot to leave so be good children and SCRAM". As Red X said scram he threw three gooey Xs, one at Raven, one at Cyborg and the last one at Beastboy, because they weren't expecting this surprise attack each one of them got hit dead on.
"BULLSEYE!"
"The only problem is you haven't dealt with me yet" Robin said taking out his Bo-staff again and pointing it at Red X's head.
"But Robin, I'm not going to fight you, Starfire is. STARFIRE, ATTACK HIM!"
Shouting a battle cry Starfire came out from behind Red X and lunged at Robin with her eyes going dangerously green and her hands glowing the same colour. Robin thought to himself quickly, he had to snap Starfire out of this trance. But he didn't know how, normally it was laughter, but this didn't seem to work so he had to figure out which emotion turned Starfire back to normal.
"Starfire snap out of it, I'm your friend not Red X, he is just using you"
"Jealous much, you see Robin you got it the wrong way round, you were the one doing the using of me while Red X was innocent all along, I should have listened to him, not you! Now go away before I do something I think I would regret in the days of later!"
So it wasn't jealousy maybe it was happiness? It was worth a shot.
"But you had such a good time with the team! Don't you remember how you bribed Raven to go to the mall of shopping with you? Or the very first time Cyborg got you to eat pizza?" it seemed to be working, her starbolts were fading and she landed with her feet firmly on the floor.
"And the time Beastboy got lost in his room and it took him a day to find his way out? Or maybe when we defeated our first villain as a team? Try and remember Starfire, you like being with us please come back!" Robin smiled when he saw that Red X was looking shocked in the corner as Starfire went back to normal and ran over to Robin to give him a hug.
"Oh, I am thanking you Robin for your saving of me! I hope I did nothing too hurtful to you and the team while I wasn't being myself?"
"No its ok Star we are just glad to have you back"
Starfire flew over to her teammates who were still strapped against the wall in Xs. She went to Raven first and ripped the X from her friend.
"Raven, are you ok? Did you get hurt? Did I hurt you? Oh please tell me I did not hurt you!"
"Starfire calm down you didn't hurt me but tell me what were you going to say before we got interrupted?"
"Do not believe what you see! That's what I was going to say but Red X came in before I could finish it off!"
"Ok im just glad you're ok, you get BB and Cyborg down while I will help Robin with Red X." Raven was about to leave when she was enveloped in a hug from Starfire. She didn't like to be hugged, but it was a special occasion so she allowed Starfire to hug her, she even hugged back a little bit before flying off to help Robin. Starfire turned around and began to rip the X off Beastboy. When she finally got it off she gave Beastboy a quick hug and apology before starting on the X that had hit Cyborg. Once all of the Titans had been released and hugged by Starfire they started on Red X.
"You will do the paying for making me act so cold to my friends"
She hurled a dozen starbolts at the cornered Red X but he had finally got out of the shock that his plan had failed and dodged them quite easily. Raven was picking up any furniture around the room, which wasn't a lot, and throwing them at Red X but once again he dodged them with a roll. Once he had finished the roll he threw three X-a-Rangs at Raven, she dodged two of them but the third one struck her across the leg and she fell to the ground. She had a massive gash on her right leg and couldn't stand. Beastboy turned into a rhino and charged at Red X but only to see that he had put a giant steel X in front of him and when Beastboy charged into it he got knocked out cold. Returning to human form he laid to the right of Raven who had become unconscious from the blood loss so she couldn't heal herself or Beastboy. Starfire flew over to them both to try and help them. She took Raven's cloak off and wrapped it tightly around her leg so no more blood would get lost and she dragged them both from harms way and placed them in a sitting up position against the furthest wall of the room. Cyborg was shooting his sonic cannon in Red X's direction but it only hit him once and Cyborg was running low on power from all the shooting he was doing. He fired one last blast before he fell to the ground with his once blue circuits faded to a blacky-grey colour. Starfire then dragged Cyborg to the other two casualties. She flew back to help Robin only to find him being pinned against the wall with his own Bo-staff. Red X didn't notice that she had come in so she snuck up behind him, powered up her Starbolt and hit him square in the back. Red X fell to the floor unconscious.
"Starfire, you did it! You beat him. Where is the rest of the team?"
"Oh they are outside, Raven lost too much of the blood and Cyborg got too power low and Beastboy ran into a X of steel so they are all sleeping now!"
"You mean unconscious?"
"Yes, robin but please can we head back home? I do not like it here."
"But Starfire you are home, this is one of the basement rooms of our tower. We just need to get Red X back to land to the police first. Then we can go home and help the team."
"I shall take Red X to the prison you take care of our team, I will be back shortly" she smiled and took the limp Red X to prison.
She flew out of the door held her breath, dived into the sea and swam to the top where she could fly the rest of the way. On her way back to the tower she decided to walk because she was quite tired from all of the flying. As she went past an alley way hands shot out of the darkness and pulled her into the alley way. The kidnapper had one hand over her mouth and the other was holding her hands above her head.
"Well well well Koriand'r we meet again, miss me?"
The only person who witnessed this was a tall guy in a black and white suit and a mask with a red x on it. He had only been in jail a couple of minutes and had already broken out. He had now witnessed a kidnapping that the Titans would be very interested in.
Robin had finally loaded everybody on board and was heading towards the harbour when Beastboy stirred from his sleep, but then quickly resumed sleeping with a light snore and sometimes mumbling to himself. When Robin arrived he took them all to the hospital ward and hooked then up to various machines. Cyborg got hooked onto his recharger and soon enough his circuits were glowing the bright blue they always do. He looked over to find Raven hovering slightly above the bed and he instantly knew that she was healing herself. He turned again to find Beastboy eating and speaking to his pillow. He chuckled then looked at Robin for an explanation.
"Well Raven fainted because off blood loss, Beastboy ran into steel and you lost too much energy. Red X had me pinned to a wall with my own Bo-staff then Starfire came in and saved the day. Starfire is probably on her way back from the prison because she volunteered to take Red X to jail while I looked after you. Is that everything?"
"I think so, thanks for recharging me man, but I have got the mega munchies. Im going to eat the biggest thing I can find I'm sooooo Hungry!" with that Cyborg left the room heading in the direction of the kitchen. Next one to wake up was Raven; she had healed herself enough to walk around with only a slight limp. She got up, looked at Beastboy chewing his pillow, rolled her eyes then looked at Robin. Robin though he would have to explain the whole thing again but as soon as he opened his mouth she put her hand over it and shook her head.
"I already know, don't bother telling me."
"What? How could you know? You were knocked out cold it's impossible that you know!"
"Have you forgot that I am an empath? Or did you just forget that empaths can read minds?"
"Oh Yeah! Sorry I did forget you know I don't normally forget things but today I have been forgetting a lot of things and I…"
"Fascinating…I would love to listen to your story but I have better things to do so good bye." She rolled her eyes then walked towards her room. She didn't have anything to do but meditating was better than listening to Robin drone on about that he forgets things. She thought that he could be even more boring than Beastboy - and that's an achievement. She opened the door slowly and looked around her and smiled and thought just the way I left it because nobody goes in my room. She walked in and sat in her circle of incense and began to chant.
Beastboy had only just woken up when he heard Raven leave. He sat up slowly and looked around. He knew what had happened, he may act stupid, but he could work out why he was in the hospital ward of their tower. He saw that Robin was there so that meant that Red X had been taken care of because if Red X had got away Robin would be in his room.
"Where is Starfire?"
"Taking Red X to jail, she will be back soon, I bet you're hungry go get some tofu to eat"
"That's the best thing I've heard all day, catch ya later Dude!"
He got up and ran in the direction of the kitchen.
