WAAAYYYYY ahead of you smilynae! But thank you anyway! I did that a few months back, and they sound so amazing it's unfair! You people don't say you don't want to spoil it I need to be up to date for new stories! So people HELP ME! Because might not post transcripts for season 5 4 awhile yet :(

Who said British people can't write! Because I'm gonna go hit them upside the head thank you very might. Two authors for example. J.K Rowling and of course Tolkien!

Yes I'm Anwen! This is my main name though I haven't been on Anwen for awhile now though, I rather this, cause I'm noticed for my story now! Tehe! Anywho, oh and I'll be reviewing your story under Valda now Waria!

And the name Valda, my pen name, means power in some language, if you want to find a cool name that means something look at good for names, like Branwen means beautiful raven in welsh, I'm from Wales so I now that, even if I don't speak the language, so it's great for a Raven fan, and Seren means star so perfect for a Starfire fan. See I'm a genius!

And it was X who hurt Star!

Yes I do accept cookies and hugs! But homework has to come first sorry! beats down her essay with a stick at least that's what I tell myself

And Jackalobe…I'm worried about you & your friend Jack…O.O I didn't know that many characters from TT were sexy lol! If you don't cheer Robin on I think Starfire would come and hit you! But drama kicks as!

Here's your well deserved update!

TT

The room fell silent at X's words. The echo of them radiated from the walls, but then…there was silence. Robin could hear his heart beat in his ears. It was so loud it hurt. It was starting to sink in…the blood…her pained face…her eyes as she fell. Like his mother before her. She was going to die.

Raven reacted first, without words she threw out her hands. And a black aura surrounded X's neck, her eyes glowing red and multiplying to four. Beastboy ran to Starfire not paying attention. X struggled with Raven's anger and Robin…stared.

"You will pay for that you insolent little pick pocket!" Raven growled squeezing her hands so X was lifted off the floor and started to choke.

Beastboy heard her words and turned, "Raven!" Beastboy shouted. "Stop it!" Beastboy then ran at Raven, he dove and knocked her to the ground, her eyes fluttered to violet once more as X fell to the floor gasping for breath.

She's dead. She's dead. She's dead. These words echoed through the masked teen's head, blanking out all thought. She's dead. She's dead. She's dead. He stared at her face until it blurred out of vision. He only turned when he felt a piercing gaze on him…in fact two of them. First he saw the Goth, Raven staring at him as she kneeled by Starfire, trying to heal her wounds. The other he couldn't pin point, now that was worrying.

Robin felt himself slowly back away from the scene. Things were becoming too deep here, X was still hacking on the ground and Beastboy had gone to restart Cyborg. He needed to get out of here, he was seriously worried about Starfire, and his heartstrings were aching with the worry of her safety, his heartstrings hadn't pulled for five years, why were they starting now?

She turned from the scene and ran silently away towards his entrance, the skylight. Unaware of the person watching his every move.

TT Who do you think it is!

Starfire was alone in the dark; all she could hear was her own faint heart beat, all she could see was the blackness of where ever she was, and all she could feel was her bleeding stomach. She tried to walk forward but stumbled, she tried to climb back up but something was keeping her there, like gravity had turned on her. She started to crawl, not even sure if her eyes were open at all.

Then faintly in the distance she saw something, a faint light, it was like a beacon of hope, she tried to get up again but something pushed her down again. She started to crawl as fast as her injured body could carry her, blood still dripped and she flinched as her stomach gave an uncomfortable lurch.

A shooting pain ripped through her abdomen and her knees gave way too the pain, her face screwed in misery. She cracked an eye open and saw a figure approach from the beacon of light. It slowly made its way towards her and she found her hands and held herself up. The figure kept shifting in and out of focus she shut her eyes once more as the light grew closer and started her hurt her tired eyes, she just wanted to sleep, she relaxed her body and collapsed to the floor, foot steps were now heard and the breathing of another reached her ears, she didn't check to see who was there, she just hoped they'd let her rest.

"Starfire…wake up." A voice said, and Starfire didn't want to sleep anymore, her eyes shot open and she saw a beautiful woman, she wore a costume of greens, reds and yellows, she had long brown wavy hair and dazzling green eyes, very much like her own. Starfire stared at the woman in wonder, she felt like she knew this woman. "Starfire…take my hand." Starfire obeyed and took her green gloved hand and she pulled her to her feet, she looked into her green eyes alight with happiness.

"It's not your time yet, you have so much more too do in the world. But first, help my son, Richard. He need's help, he needs to love again, he needs to feel. Show him for me Starfire. Teach my little Robin how you love again."

All Starfire could do was nod and the woman wrapped her arms around Starfire in a motherly hug. Starfire returned it and she felt all her pain leave her, the woman backed away and started to glow in the light. Starfire watched her slowly fade away, words then formed on her mouth, but Starfire didn't catch them, then slowly she heard someone familiar call her name.

It was Cyborg.

TT

Starfire's eyes fluttered open; she opened her eyes and looked up into Cyborg's one brown and one red glowing eye. She gave him a weak smile and he covered her in a bear hug. He heard Beastboy behind her, and as soon as Cyborg let her go Beastboy jumped on her. She giggled lightly and looked around for Raven expecting to see her brooding about the situation. But she wasn't there. She looked around.

"Please, where is Raven?" She asked sitting up and feeling her now healed stomach. Cyborg scratched his head and then as though a light bulb lit above his head he clicked his fingers.

"She healed you and went after Robin, after taking care of X of course." Cyborg said pointing first to the entrance and then to X who was now tied up unconscious. Starfire nodded, feeling tired. Her meeting with the woman had confused her and she needed time to think about it.

"Hey Beastboy!" Cyborg shouted suddenly making Starfire jump. Beastboy turned from his little glaring moment with an unconscious X. "Take Star home, I'll go after Raven and bird boy. Okay?"

"Okay dude!" Beastboy agreed giving an ok sign with his fore finger and thumb. Starfire feeling to tired to argue with the arrangements watched Cyborg climb to his feet, pat Starfire on the shoulder and then run out of the entrance. Beastboy and her remained quiet for a moment before Starfire smiled weakly again.

"Please, may we venture home now, I am feeling the tired feeling?"

Robin climbed up onto the roof and shut the skylight behind him, he hoped the titans and X hadn't noticed him leave, he turned sighing and sheathing his sword, he raised his gaze and saw the last person he wanted to see at the moment. His stomach turned in a mix of fear and anger.

Slade

Robin stood uncertain as Slade studied him with his hard one eye. Robin concentrated on his breathing, trying to beat down the fear that was rising above his anger now, even though he hated the man it was mostly out of fear of his superior fighting abilities, he'd been trained well by Slade, but he kept some things to himself. The wind swept around them, making Robin's hair blow around his eyes, obscuring his vision, and before he could wipe it away Slade was on him, he kicked him hard in the gut, and Robin flew into the wall of the museum, he scrambled to his feet, words didn't need to be used, Slade was pissed.

Robin unsheathed his sword, skipping his bo-staff, if Slade took the chance to kill him now, he wasn't going without a fight, he'd seen Slade kill many before, and he did it fast and without mercy. He was truly a mad man.

Slade unsheathes two fairly long daggers, and Robin remembered the people Slade killed with them, in many ways, he once cut a person in half, another time he gouged their eyes out, another he…it was too sick for words. Slade lunged himself at Robin. Robin dove out of the way panicking. Slade didn't stumble as Robin dove out of his path, he caught himself and dove at Robin's back, Robin fell on his back painfully while Slade stood above him, Slade kicked Robin's sword away from him, and placed a foot on his stomach, enabling from any movement.

"Why Robin?" Slade inquired simply. Robin didn't answer so Slade dug his foot harder into his chest; Robin ground his teeth together to hold in his pain. Slade moved on from his question and kicked Robin in the side but before Robin could move out of the way again his foot was back on his chest, digging in painfully.

"After all my training, all my examples, I trained you for four years…and you did everything I asked, never broke any rules. How answer me this." His eye brightened in fury. "HOW COULD YOU BREAK RULES NUMBER ONE?"

Robin flinched as Slade lost his temper. Slade kicked his head, so it snapped to the side.

"NO!"

He then kicked Robin's ankle bruising it painfully.

"WEAKNESS!"

He then picked Robin up and threw him across the building, where he skidded to a halt on his side, face screwed up in pain.

"ALLOWED!"

Slade didn't assault him again, so Robin slowly climbed shakily to his feet. Ignoring the pain, he expected this from the moment her lips touched his own. He steadied his breathing once more before looking Slade in the eye.

"What…weakness." He muttered angrily. Slade barked a cruel laugh. Robin flinched again, if he hated anything more than Slade's shouting, it was his laughing.

"Robin…don't you realize, by getting rid of your feelings I did you a favor, now as soon as we take are of the weakness, we'll be back on track."

Robin shook his head; over and over again he shook his head, as though he didn't know to do anything else. He then backed away from Slade, still shaking his head. She then turned and sprinted away, he jumped onto the next roof and ran again, and again, and again, then when he was away from Slade who had not followed him words echoed around him, and he looked back to see Slade's figure, his words haunted him and all he could do is turn and run once more.

"You'll come back, because you'll have too."
