Chapter 14: Reality

Robin closed his door, leaned against his door and sighed. He then shuffled his feet and walked over to this window. Out the window, was beautiful view of the Jump City. He placed his arms on the window sill and rested his head.

Right now, his head was buzzing around with so many thoughts that Boy Wonder couldn't think straight.

What had just happened on the roof back there? Was the question that remained in his head.

Just then a sudden scream came from the hallway, which echoed throughout the whole tower.

Robin suddenly snapped out of his thoughts as his eyes grew wide. He would recognize Starfire's voice even if he was miles away from her. He ran out his door in a heartbeat and stopped at her door.

"STARFIRE! STARFIRE?" Robin protested as he banged on her door. The other titans came rushing in.

"What the heck happened?" Cyborg questioned. But Robin was too busy pounding on her door. Seeing that there was no respond coming from the other side, Robin busted opened her door and looked around the room.

"She's not in here!" Robin yelled and ran out her room. His other teammates continued to prod for answers but Robin ignored them all. He quickly got on his R-Cycle and sped off into the night.

Slowly, Starfire opened her eyes. Where was she? Her vision then slowly got less blurry as she widened her eyes. A figure was standing next to another figure. But it definitely was not Babs.

There stood a girl about here age. She had curly blonde hair and was dressed in a long, sleeve-less leather jacket. She had leather boots with heels that made her look tall. The girl turned around and looked at Starfire.

"Well what do you know? The alien brat is up." She said and walked over to her. Starfire's eyes glowed bright green and tried to move but then found out that her hands tied up. But that didn't stop the Tamaranian girl. She got up and charged at the girl, but was suddenly blasted away, seeing that a force field contained her.

Again, the girl laughed.

"You really think that you can get out that easily?" She mocked. Starfire frowned.

"Who are you? AND WHAT HAVEYOU DONE TO BE AND ROBIN?" Starfire demanded.

The girl made a smirk. "You don't know me? I'm the newest recruit in Jump City. Mirage is the name."

Suddenly, she started to transform, changing her whole appearance into the red haired girl that Starfire has been so jealous of.

"Or you can just call me Barbara Gordon." Mirage snarled as she changed back to her true form. Starfire stared at disgust as she watched her.

"You…you GLOTNICKGROFNAG!" Starfire cursed as she blasted a starbolt at the force field. Mirage cackled.

"Curse all you want. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm going to get rid of you. You see, I can change into anything I want. Even you….and once I get rid of you, not only will you be gone from Jump City, but from Robin's life as well. This may sound complicated to you, but seeing that you are an alien, you wouldn't understand anything…."

Starfire stopped her attempts to escape as she listened.

"You see, I planned on getting you off the team, by ruining your chances with Boy Wonder. So, I kidnapped one of his old friends. Barbara Gordon. That way, I could change into her and get you jealous. So I used something that one of my friends hooked me up with to make him fall in love with "Babs". Seeing that the substance wore off, I tend to do differently. By being you. "

Mirage then transformed into Starfire and gave an evil smirk, that made Starfire even more disgusted.

Mirage then skipped over to a nearby desk and took what looked like Starfire's communicator. She then ran over to a door, but then stopped and turned around.

"Oh and I think I'll make a good addition to the team, without you, don't you think?" she mocked as she walked out the door in the appearance of Starfire.

Starfire stood there, trying to get out. But then suddenly, metal walls surrounded her as the enclosed in. Starfire gasped and flew to the top of the container she was trapped in started to bang on it. The floor then brought out spikes that were sharp enough to pierce through anything. The walls were closing in and Starfire had to think fast or she would never see the team or Robin again.

……………………………………….

"STARFIRE? STARFIRE!" Robin called out in the streets. Robin ran through an alleyway reading the signal that was on his communicator. Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming toward him.

Robin quickly took out his bo-staff, preparing to face what was ever in front of him. Starfire came running toward him, panting. Robin stood there in shock, seeing Starfire in front of him, alive and well.

Starfire slowly approached him.

"Robin are you undamaged?" she asked, innocently. But Robin didn't answer that as he swooped her into his arms and kissed her face.

"What are you doing out here? I was worried about you." Robin said as he set her down.

"I was captured from a villain of which we donnot know yet of." Starfire proclaimed.

"Do you know who or what they looked like?" Robin asked. Starfire shook her head.

"I am sorry Robin." She said as tears formed in her eyes. Robin then had a softer expression and held her close to his body.

"It's ok Star. As long as you're here now. Everything is fine. Let's go back to the tower and get some rest, ok?" Robin said and kissed her forehead as he held her tight against him. Starfire nodded and through that disguise of innocence, there was a smirk on her face.
