Again, infinite thanks to you supportive readers/reviewers! I had this whole story kinda written up to like chapter 6 or 7. So after this chapter, my updating might get slow... but i will keep at it! Because I know how annoying it is when people don't update. Hm as sad as it is, Starfire's father probably won't be making another entrance. I'll try to incorporate him in if possible. Glad someone liked him lol. Ah! and i forgot.. a reviewer pointed out that i put Jor El instead of Kal El somewhere. loll sorry about that! Its supposed to be Kal El. I was using Jor El first before i had it edited for some reason. but then i thought.. hmm why have superman's dad like starfire when superman can! lol plus jor el is like a dead voice thing. haha so yeah sorry about that!
Chapter 6
Newfound Friends
The pain in her head seemed explode as she gained consciousness.
"Unhhh..." She felt the back of her head and noticed a bump.
Was this all just a dream? Was she still in that torture chamber? Was she home? The last thing she could remember was... Titans, GO!
She gasped. She must be imprisoned by them. She had to get out. She couldn't take it anymore.
I cannot delay any longer. I must find Kal El!
Star was about to blast the whole room and fly off when...
"Umm. I see you're awake." It was that same boy who hit her before.
Star swung around in lightning speed, ready to blast the enemy away.
"AH! Uh, could you not use that right now? I'm not here to hurt you." The boy looked nervous.
Star didn't put her arms down. She looked at him closely. After scrutinizing him, She came to the conclusion that he seemed... nice. She finally lowered her guard.
"Uh, thanks. Sorry for hitting you yesterday. I thought you were someone else..."
The boy seemed very nervous to Starfire. For some reason, this made her feel nervous too. They made eye contact and both quickly looked away. Star found the patterns on the floor fascinating.
"Gr-Greetings. I am Starfire... of Tamaran." She found it hard to say the name of her own planet. It brought back pain and made her grimace.
"Are you okay?" said a worried Robin. There was something about this girl. She looked like she had suffered something... Something unbearable. He felt sad himself.
"I am fine. Thank you-"
"Robin."
"Thank you Robin."
"No prob. Uh, let me introduce you to the Titans. If you're feeling well enough."
"The Titans?" Star wondered if that was a kind of food.
"They're my friends. They're great! I think you'll like them." Starfire noticed how happy he seemed when he talked about his friends.
"That would be delightful!" Starfire was just happy to find people who didn't want to hurt her. Her better mood made her subconsciously float.
Robin was shocked.
She can fly. Wow. And she can form some sort of highly destructive energy with her hands. I should ask her to demonstrate her powers. She would make a great addition to the Titans.
Starfire looked at his shocked face and immediately dropped down. "I am sorry. I became too elated. You see, my feelings are directly connected to my... abilities."
"It's okay, you don't have to apologize. You did nothing wrong." He liked how sweet this girl was. She was beautiful too.
Ah... Are all alien girls this beautiful? AH! Shut up Robin...
"Wonderful," Star said, with what Robin thought was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.
He couldn't take his eyes off her, and Starfire noticed this.
"Hello? Friend Robin? Did I do something wrong?"
This snapped Robin out of his trance. "Oh, sorry. Uh, what was I about to do... Oh yeah! You have to meet the crew. They'll love you!"
"Hey guys... Uh guys?" Robin tried to get the attention of his two friends, who were arguing over a video game.
"Duuude! You're INSANE, Cyborg! There is NO WAY that Street Fighters 3 is better than Tekken 2. Have you no eyes!"
"Oh I got eyes. But YOU won't when I'm done with you!" Cyborg tackled Beast Boy off the sofa.
"GUYS!" Robin had been trying to talk to them for quite a while now.
"AHH!" Beast Boy and Cyborg both yelled in surprise.
"Dude! You don't have to yell right into my ear!" Beast Boy said. "My ears are sensitive enough."
"Anyways, what up Rob?" Cyborg, the half robot man was looking at him with interest.
Raven suddenly appeared to meet them. She had been meditating in her room when she heard Robin yelling.
"Everyone, I'd like you to officially meet Starfire. Starfire, this is Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven."
"Greetings friend Cyborg!"
"Hey! Glad you're better." Cyborg said a little nervously.
"Hello friend Beast Boy"
"Hi! Do you like tofu?" Beast Boy was so happy that she called him a friend.
"Umm... Tofu? Who is that?" Starfire looked around the room for another person.
Robin found himself blushing as he watched her actions.
So cute... Gah! Snap out of it!
"Oh my GOD! You don't know what tofu is? DUDE! You're missing out!" Beast Boy ran to the fridge in search of tofu.
"Trust me," Raven said with a book in her hand. "You're not missing out,"
"Ah, hello friend Raven!" Starfire was relieved to see another girl. Things could get uncomfortable with only guys around.
"Hi." Raven glanced up from her book for a second to respond.
Starfire was a bit disappointed at Raven's depressing "Hi."
"Don't worry," whispered Beast Boy to her. "She's always like that."
"I heard that," Raven said in a not so monotone voice.
Robin was pleased to see Starfire get along with his friends. Well, it was hard to imagine a person not getting along with someone like her. But as he saw her float around examining the tower, Robin couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a facade. Is she hiding pain behind that beautiful smile? She seemed bitter about her past. Something tragic had happened, but Starfire couldn't bring herself to talk about it. Robin hoped she would someday recover. He wanted to make her truly happy.
Wha? What's wrong with me? I barely know her... But she's so amazing.
It was time. Cyborg had all the machines ready, and Robin had just finished explaining what kind of obstacles there will be. It was time for Starfire to show the Titans her powers. She felt nervous, but the excitement filled her with infinite energy.
"Okay Starfire, ready?" Cyborg said while checking the controls once more.
"Yes. I am ready." Starfire clenched her hands into fists and got in her own unique fighting stance.
Teacher Kal El... I wish you were here... I will make you proud.
