I don't own Teen Titans. But thanks to Vandy and Stumpy I now have two fluffy Star/Robin shirts! iluvu!
Dedication: (For Jay) "The mustache! For scaring us for life!" (Don't ask…)

Star rubbed her bare arms. It had been stupid to leave the Tower in a sleeveless shirt in the rain. She stepped in a puddle, cold water splashing up to her knees and sighed, realizing she wasn't even wearing shoes. But it was too late to think about that now. It would be like admitting she was wrong if she went back now. And she knew she was right.
Star shivered, feeling the water run through her hair and down her face. She shook her head, shaking off some water, only to have it replaced a moment later. She sighed.
Starfire continued walking, not knowing where she was going, only refusing to go back. She was too stubborn to go back…
"Robin can be such a jerk…" She muttered through chattering teeth. 'But he's only trying to help…' she thought, then shook her head, wet locks of hair falling over her face. "I don't care. He's doing more damage than help. Can't he see that?" Apparently not.
The Titan suddenly ran into someone, making her fall back to the pavement. As she looked up, her arm was quickly seized by one of Slade's robots.
And she thought things couldn't get worse…

Raven typed something into the computer, and a map of the city popped up. The only thing on thing showing up on the map was a 'C', a 'B', an 'R' and an 'X', representing herself.
"Star's locater is offline. The rain must be throwing off the signal." Robin punched the wall.
"I shouldn't have let her walk out. Not when Slade made it so obvious he wants her! How could I be so stupid?"
"Letting her leave wasn't the stupid part. It was the stuff before that…"
"Shut up Rae, I don't need this right now!" She glared at him, but had no time to respond before he grabbed his coat, walking to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To find her."

Star looked around her. She was surrounded. She took to the air and began firing starbolts at them, but it seemed as if for every one she destroyed five more attacked. She flew up a bit higher, pushing the call button on her communicator.
"Hello? Raven? Can you hear me? Cy? Beast Boy? Please pick up!" No use. She looked back down just in time to see a robot grab her ankle and throw her to the ground. She rolled out of the way, the follow-up attack crushing the concrete, sending dust and rocks flying.
Jumping to her feet, she turned on the robots. Four lunged at her and she flew upward, only to be tackled by a fifth.
She hit the ground hard, hearing a 'crack' upon landing. She winced, her eyes watering from the pain in her newly broken wrist. Holding her wounded arm to her chest, she stood again, firing a starbolt at the robot who had injured her. Another dived at her, but was thrown back by-
"A birdarang?" She looked back to see Robin running towards her. "Robin? What-"
"Not now." She dodged another attack, blowing the robot back into a group of its comrades. They threw down a small disk, sending smoke into the air. They were gone when it cleared. Robin looked at Star.
"You ok?"
"Fine. Just perfect…"
"Here, let me see that wrist." She turned away.
"I said I'm fine," she snapped, then sighed. "Let's just go home."
