Chapter 3

Starfire tried to sleep but it didn't come easy she moved many times trying to make herself comfortable. Her thoughts were also keeping her up and finally she gave up on sleeping. It was early morning about 2 a.m. and she moved again. She wanted to sleep and she laid there for fifteen minutes before she got frustrated. She was so tried yet she felt wide awake and she stared into the thick darkness. Her gaze then went to Silkie who was asleep in his basket next to her bed and he snored as he dreamed. It brought a brief smile to the tired young girl who yawned.

"Koriand'r you can't fight it," said whispered voice.

She looked up and around her room there was nothing to be found. She looked out to the sleeping city and then curled up in her bed again. She hoped for sleep to come soon.

Across the city at the Jump City prison all was quiet in the morning. It was another day as guard was making his rounds around the prison. He passed Cinderblock specially made room from keeping him from breaking out. He gave brief look into the viewing window and then started whistling as he continued his rounds.

"There you are," said a voice. "Cinderblock I need you."

The stone golem looked up to see a woman standing there. She had long black hair was braided and her brown eyes looked amused. She was on errand from someone mystery person who called.

"I'm supposed to free and then I get paid. Oh yeah you supposed to go after the Titans and then you get your award," said the person.

The woman started on his bonds that were keeping him from escaping. Cinderblock merely grunted when she finished freeing him. He charged through the wall and suddenly alarms went off.

"Well isn't he bright," said the woman and she disappeared.

The blissful silence in the Tower was interrupted by the alarm. Robin came in flying through the door. Cyborg and Beast boy arrive soon afterwards while Raven came in through the shadows. Starfire arrived last as she flew in the room.

"It's Cinderblock downtown. Let's go!" yelled Robin.

Beast boy and Starfire took to the skies while Cyborg and Raven headed for the T-car. Robin got his R-Cycle and they soon arrived at the scene. Citizens were fleeing from the scene and Cinderblock's attention turned to the Titans.

"Cinderblock how many times do we have to kick your butt and send you back to jail!" yelled Robin. "Titans Go!"

Cyborg's arm changed into a sonic cannon and it hit Cinderblock. Cinderblock stumbled back a bit then Robin threw a couple disks at him. They produced a bit of smoke but did little to the stone golem. Cinderblock growled then swiped his hand forward nearly hitting Beast boy. Beast boy transformed into a bird making Cinderblock's hand miss by mere inches. Then Raven took this opportunity and made two nearby lamp posts wrapped around Cinderblock. The lamp posts wrapped around Cinderblock. Beast boy then transformed into a T-Rex and charged at him. Beast boy roared at Cinderblock and pushed him back. Cyborg then fired his laser cannon and it him pretty good. Cinderblock flew to the ground but then broke the two lamp posts and got up again. Then Cinderblock punched and knocked Beast boy away. Then Starfire flew in and plumed him with starbolts with that giving Robin time to come in and slammed with his Bo-rod. Cinderblock moved back behind then Starfire came in and punched him. She landed with her friends who had regrouped. Cinderblock started stumbling around like he was drunk. The Titans watched and were ready if something happened. Cinderblock fell and sound thundered down rattling nearby windows.

"What happened?" asked Beast boy.

Robin got closer to the Cinderblock who was lying on front side and there was huge hole that had been blasted into his head.

"He's dead," said Robin as he looked at the other Titans. "Cyborg tell them he's dead."

Cyborg nodded and opened his communication on his arm.

"The authorities are coming to get the body," said Cyborg as he shut down communication on his arm.

"It doesn't make sense," said Robin.

Just then a white ball of light came speeding at Robin who dodged.

"Darn I missed," said a girl.

Both hands were light up like energy that had been thrown. She smirked at the Titans and approached Cinderblock's dead body.

"Too bad he failed I guess I have to finish this to get my money," said the girl. "I see my target now."

The girl placed both hands in front of her and growing on end was a bigger energy ball. Then she released it and flew towards the Titans.

"Titans move!" yelled Robin.

All Titans moved and then the girl suddenly disappeared then appeared next Starfire. Another ball of energy suddenly shot at Starfire and she slammed into building.

"Oh yeah this going to be easy," said the girl.

"Starfire!" yelled Robin.

"One step and she won't live to see another day," said the girl her hands glowing white again.

The Titans didn't move to fight and the girl just smiled. Just as she had planned now the Titans wouldn't attack her not with their friend's life on the line. Now to show what her employer had told her about and then she would be in Bahamas by tomorrow. Then she moved her hands out and energy flowed out suddenly knocking the four Titans out.

"Now I know you wouldn't interfere," said the girl then turning to Starfire. "It's just you and me."

Starfire started getting up when she suddenly felt shortness of breath. Then dizziness was coming through her and she fell to the ground again. The girl was suddenly watching Starfire as she tried to get up.

"What's wrong with you?" asked the girl suddenly dropping her guard.

"Aurgh!" screamed Starfire.

She clenched her hands to her head and her eyes glowed dark green. Starfire could feel the flowing through her veins. Her hair hung in front of her face and she was sitting on her knees.

"No," whispered Starfire a brief tear fell.

"Okay," said the girl suddenly backing up.

That was when Starfire launched herself at the girl and punched her. The girl looked surprised as she slammed across the road. Her eyes glowed eerie dark and she passed her friends not even looking at them.

"Nice attack but watch this," said the girl.

She fired two energy balls that came from two different directions and suddenly wrapping chains around Starfire. Starfire smiled a brief smile then flash green suddenly surrounded her. The light energy disappeared and Starfire stepped closer to the girl.

"Nobody has ever been able to that," said the girl.

"I'm glad I'm the first," said Starfire.

Starfire moved her arm out and then spreading her fingers out. Then green energy flowed through them encircling the girl. The girl blocked with her energy and Starfire stepped closer.

"I can kill you," said Starfire. "You know that."

"I'm only to draw you out," said the girl.

"Who?" asked Starfire.

"I don't know," said the girl.

Starfire stopped her attack her eyes still glowing dark green approached the girl. Suddenly her hand shot out and gripped the girl's neck chocking her.

"You know what is happening tell your employer it's soon," said Starfire.

She flung the girl once again and the girl suddenly ran away. The girl stopped in alley way far from Starfire had been. Her cell phone rang and she looked at it.

"Yello," said the girl.

"Surprised you still have your humor Bounty," said a voice.

"She nearly freakin' kill me," said Bounty.

"Good that means that it's progressing quickly," said the voice.

"Whatever as long as I'm getting paid," said Bounty.

"Of course," said the voice then the phone went dead.

Bounty suddenly leaned back and let out sigh of relief.

The girl had vanished and she smiled as she looked around. She knew that soon the real Starfire would regain control soon. It had been good to be in control but slowly she faded towards the back. She was waiting in the back and whispered soon to herself. The glow in Starfire's eyes died down to its normal color.

"Robin!" yelled Starfire in surprised.

Robin groaned and started getting up. Starfire kneeled next to him and helped him up.

"Oh man what happened?" asked Beast boy. "Hey that girl is gone!"

"Star are you alright?" asked Robin.

"I am fine," said Starfire.

Raven suddenly got shiver as she stood up and dusted her cloak. Something was different but she couldn't figure out what.

A silence over took them until Cyborg's stomach growled.

"Well as long as she gone let's get pizza!" suggested Cyborg.

"As long there is no meat," said Beast boy injecting his suggestion.

Cyborg and Beast boy started going on heading for pizza spot while Raven followed them. She gave a quick glance at Starfire then left.

"Are you sure you are okay?" asked Robin.

"Yes, Robin. Why do you ask Robin?" asked Starfire.

"What happened after she knocked us out?" asked Robin.

She looked at him and then said, "I do not know. I saw you and the others laying on the ground."

She didn't look like she was going to answer so he decided to drop for now but questions buzzed through his mind.

"Let's just forget about it for right now and why don't you go get some pizza." said Robin.

Starfire started heading for the pizza place and Robin was going to follow. When something caught his eye. He looked at Cinderblock's body as the police were taking him away. Then he went to place where they saw the girl for the first time there was bracelet laying there. He picked up the bracelet and slipped into his pocket.

"Robin? You are coming right?" asked Starfire she stopped to wait for him.

"Yeah," said Robin as he joined Starfire.

Later on that night

Starfire had been hiding out in her room after they had come back. Robin had talked to her earlier but he seemed to be not be getting the answers he wanted. That's why Raven stood outside Starfire's room she had been talking to Robin earlier. Both had been suspicious on what had happened earlier and what had happened that one night with the nightmare. Raven hadn't found the force that almost knocked her out. Raven knocked on the door and Starfire answered. Starfire invited Raven inside her room. She walked into the room and felt a little uncomfortable going into her room. Raven sat down on the bed while Starfire was moving around doing something. Raven thought it was something of custom of her home world.

"Hello, Raven how may I help you?" asked Starfire smiling.

"We need to talk," said Raven.

"Raven is some thing a matter?" asked Starfire concerned.

"Do you remember your dream from few nights ago? It seemed like it was nightmare?" asked Raven.

"No, I do not I went to sleep and then woke up."

"Robin told me you couldn't remember what happened from earlier."

"No I can not I am sorry Raven."

"I can help."

Raven's hand glowed then placed on Starfire's forehead and there were flashes. They happened so fast that Raven jerked back.

"Raven?" asked Starfire.

"I'm fine."

Raven shifted in her seat on the bed. Raven shifted the topic away from what she had saw giving time to sort out what she thought she saw. Starfire started talking about something else and Raven only half listened.

After awhile she told Starfire she had to leave just as she was leaving the room. Raven stopped the dream was replaying in her mind. The shadow stepped out more this time the eyes shone a bright green and Raven could see a smirk on her lips but not all of the face.

"Raven?" asked Starfire.

"Starfire what happened?"

"Nothing you seemed to out space again," said Starfire

"Oh," said Raven and then she left.

Starfire looked at her wrist a bit of blood fell to the ground. The bleeding had started a little while and she hid it from Raven. The wound had appeared only a few days ago. She didn't do it but she decided not to tell anyone. She bit her lip as she went to tend her wound. Something just felt weird about her wound.
