Chapter Thirty-Five: "Breakfast Surprise"
A strong current of both Raven's and Starfire's powers hit Kayla while she was still in her solid state. Kayla screamed in pain, and dropped the silver dagger as she fell to the floor.
Starfire quickly ran to the shimmering weapon and picked it up with Raven's telekinetic powers. She walked over to where Kayla was lying. She kneeled beside her, holding the dagger above her heart. Kayla looked on in horror. Starfire lit up her hand with a starbolt and melted the daggers edges so that it wouldn't cut or slice anything and through it to the side.
"I am not one who takes another ones life. I have won; Robin is not to be your husband." Starfire announced, getting up.
Keyda came out of the shadows in disbelief and happiness. "Starfire you have won the challenge." She bowed in front of her.
Starfire felt Raven leave her body.
Raven opened her eyes to find that all three of the guys were in her room. Raven couldn't help but smile.
"Raven, what happened?" Robin asked.
"Starfire won." Raven replied, getting some ingredients from her shelves.
"She what?" Cyborg asked unsure of what she had just said.
"I'll show you." Raven created a giant circle, big enough for all four of them to sit inside.
Raven explained what she was going to do, and they all did as they were told. Within moments they were inside the Shadow Realm.
Keyda greeted them and lead them to Raven's quarters. There they found Starfire, smiling and bruised badly in many places.
"Starfire!" Robin shouted as soon as he saw her.
"Robin!" Starfire shouted back.
They ran into each others arms, holding and kissing each other madly. Beast Boy and Cyborg made fun of them while Keyda talked to Raven.
"Starfire, what happened?" Robin asked, pointing at touching Starfire's bruises lightly.
"I was injured in battle." Starfire frowned.
"Can't you heal them?" Robin asked, looking into her eyes.
"I do not know." She concentrated and attempted to heal them. It worked for a few of them, but she stopped.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked, looking from her eyes to her hands.
"I am tired." Starfire informed him.
Robin smiled weakly and picked her up bridal style.
"Is Cyborg with anyone?" Keyda whispered.
"Not that I know of. Why?" Raven asked curiously.
"Will you introduce me? I wish to get to know him." Keyda smiled nerveously.
Raven walked over to Cyborg and whispered something and lead him over to Keyda.
"Keyda, this is Cyborg. Cyborg this is Keyda." Raven introduced and then walked over to Beast Boy.
"Hi." Keyda smiled, blushing
"Hello Keyda. What's up?" Cyborg asked.
"I wanted to know if you would like to be my friend." She asked shyly.
"Sure, why not." Cyborg smiled.
Keyda was interrupted by Kayla. "Excuse me Cyborg, my mistress calls me." She walked away towards Kayla's quarters.
Everyone watched her leave, but soon began talking again.
"I think it's time to go home." Robin announced, still holding Starfire, who was falling asleep in his arms.
Keyda came back minutes later. "Raven, Kayla wishes to speak to you before you leave." Keyda spoke in a saddened voice.
Raven walked over to Kayla's room and walked inside.
"You wanted to see me Kayla?" Raven asked in her monotone.
"You gave Starfire you're powers." Kayla stated in harsh voice.
"I did. There were no rules against it. Why?" Raven inquired.
"No, there are no rules against it." Kayla continued, "But I'm going to make you pay for making me lose my husband." She smirked.
"And what do you plan on doing Kayla?" Raven looked at her, emotionless.
"You'll see." Kayla smiled devilishly.
Raven didn't like her answer and she showed it by leaving quickly and returning to her own quarters.
"Time to go." Raven said immediately, gathering her things.
"Raven, may I come with you?" Keyda asked.
"How long do you plan on staying?" Raven asked, concerned that she may not be able to take Earth's climate and sunlight.
"Not long." Keyda smiled.
Raven agreed and she quickly gathered her belongings and took everyone home.
That night everyone slept well. Robin and Starfire slept in Robin's room, cuddling and smiling. Beast Boy spent the night as a puppy on Raven's bed; Keyda spent the night learning about Cyborg, but soon fell asleep in the shadows of his room.
Nobody was disturbed and everybody was having wonderful dreams.
The sun shined brightly and happily the next morning. It was going to be a good day because everyone woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon.
"Hey Cyborg that smells good!" Robin exclaimed as he walked into the main room. The only problem was that it wasn't Cyborg cooking.
"Hey Robin I didn't know you could cook for everyone!" Cyborg smiled as he walked in minutes later. He stopped when he saw who was cooking. Robin looked over at Cyborg.
Starfire walked in, stretching. "Good morning every-" she stopped in mid sentence and stared at the person behind the counter.
Raven walked in and gasped as she looked up at the person setting the table, dropping her book.
"I hope that's tofu waffles!" Beast Boy shouted angrily as he came through the doors. He paused and looked in disbelief. "No way." He whispered looking at the person everyone was staring at.
"Well don't just stand there, its breakfast time!" the girl smiled cheerfully.
