Chapter 3: Reunion Back at the tower, Robin was carrying on and on about how they should have done this and how they could have done that, and on and onand on. Typical Robin. "How did we get beaten by her? We are the Teen Titans! We're the good guys! The good guys never lose!." Robin was rattling off all of the things that they did wrong. "We know how frustrating it is to lose. But that doesn't mean that you can take it out on us," Raven said to Robin. "Arguing will not solve any of our problems. Anger will lead to more problems. So calm down, and we'll find Starfire." "Fine," grumbled Robin as he flopped down on the couch while Raven walked over to the computer and becan typing so fast that her fingers became a blur. Beast Boy and Cyborg gathered around the screen. After a few minutes, a map of Jump City shoed up, with an orange S flashing near the river. "She's at the old warehouse near the docks," stated Cyborg. "We're coming Starfire. Titans, GO!" yelled Robin as the Titans ran out the door. Little did they know that Mirage had a surprise planned for them. And what a surprise it would be. As the Titans burst through the doors of the old, abandoned warehouse, they saw Starfire, still contained in the orange bubble that had captured her. Mirage emerged from the shadows and stood next to the bubble. "I wouldn't attack, if you value your little friends life," Mirage said with a smirk on her face. "For if you do, I shal destroy her." Robin couldn't bear the idea of losing Starfire. "What do you want, Mirage?" Robin saying the name with disgust. "Oh, nothing much. Just the ankh that you STOLE FROM ME!" Mirage said angrily. "What in the name of tofu is an ankh?" asked Beast Boy. "It's the Egyptian symbol of life." "Oh," Beast Bot said, still looking confused. "So hand it over, or the girl gets it," Mirage said. "Fine. But wil you really leave Starfire unharmed?"asked Robin. "But of course. I am a woman of my word. Put the ankh on the floor, and I shall release the girl." Robin reached into his utility belt, pulled out the ankh, and slowly walked forward. He placed the ankh on the floor, and backed up. Mirage walked forward, stooped down to pick up the ankh, and turned her back to the Titans. "It's been nice doing buisness with you, Titans. We'll be in touch." She then snapped her fingers. and a white cloud of smoke concealed her and Starfire. When the smoke cleared, Mirage had dissapeared, and Starfire was standing there, looking very happy. "I'm baaaaaaaaaack. Did you miss me?" Starfire said happily. "Only a whole lot! Robin over here was -OWW!" Beast Boy started before being hit over the head by an irritated Robin. "Hey! What was that for?" asked Beast Boy. "Come on. Let's go home," Starfire said as she headed for the door. Cyborg and Beast Boy followed her, while Robin and Raven lagged behind. "What is it?" Raven asked Robin. "Nothing. It's just, Starfire seems to be acting kind of, I don't know, different," Robin said. "I know what you mean. She does seem to have changed a bit. But I assume she'll be back to her normal self in no time," Raven said with assurance. "I hope so," Robin said as he headed towards the door, "I hope so."
