I don't own Teen Titans. But Robin's hot. ☺

Dedication: To all the reviewers! I love you people!

Flame was being dragged to the Tower not long after his talk with Star. He felt horrible. He had been so wrong about her. Flame had thought she only liked Flare and Blaze, but here she was, giving up her freedom to her enemy so he would be safe. He was surprised she even cared after what he'd done. He was a brat…

But self-pity wasn't going to help now. He had screwed up, yes, but it was over, he had to move on. And find a way to fix it.

"Where are you going?" Melissa stopped and turned to her boyfriend.

"Someone's at the door." Cyborg stood, walking towards her.

"Which is why you should be nowhere near it. I'll get it."

"Sit. I'll get it." Robin went to the door, pulling it open. The teen was suddenly faced by two of Slade's robots, who were holding Flame between them. They tossed Flame into Robin. Robin caught the boy in surprise. Looking back up, he saw the robots were gone. He slammed the door, and looked at Flame.

"Here." Flame handed Robin a note. "It's from Slade." Robin ripped it open.

"What's it say?" Cy asked, confused about the Tamaranian's arrival.

"Just that Flame has to stay here, but he can't tell us anything about what Slade's up to…"

"Why? It just doesn't make sense!"

"It doesn't have to with Slade." The alarm went off. "Mel." Robin turned to her. "Can you stay here and watch him for us?" Mel nodded, a bit puzzled. He tossed her a communicator. "Call us if he gives you any trouble." Robin turned to his team. "Titans! Go!"

Star and Walker crept into the dark building. Walker nodded to something in the middle of the room in a display case.

"That's it." He stepped forward.

"No! Wait!" Star hissed.

"Why should I-" The alarms went off.

"That's why…" She rushed forward, grabbed the chip and slipped it into her pocket. "C'mon!" They ran towards the door only to be met by the Titans. Star skidded to a halt before them, and Walker barely stopped before crashing into her.

"Starfire?" Robin stepped forward, looking her over.

"Attack." Slade's voice commanded over the earpiece. She glanced back at Walker, who threw a starbolt right into Robin's chest, sending him sailing into his team.

The Titans were quickly back in position, ready to fight. Star stepped forward, holding a glowing green fist in front of her.

"No one move." Robin gazed into her eyes, but they showed no emotion.

"I said attack! Now!" She winced at the screaming coming through the earpiece, and fired a starbolt. Raven reflected it with a wave of her hand and Walker had to jump aside to avoid the reflected attack. Star ran towards them, flipping over Robin and kicking Cyborg in the chest. Cy fell back and Star flew upwards. Raven caught the Tamaranian's foot and slammed her to the ground. She rolled aside as Cy's attack crushed the floor.

Star quickly jumped to her feet, only to have Beast Boy throw her backwards into Walker, the two of them crashing into a wall. They fell to the ground in a heap.

"Nice one…" Walker muttered.

"Oh shut up…"She groaned, both of them rising to their feet. The pair flew at the Titans rapidly, then pulled up at the last second, escaping through the roof. The Titans watched them go, the realization of what had just taken place slowly sinking in.

"So…Star's working for Slade?" Robin glared at the changeling.

"Star wouldn't. Not willingly. He must be blackmailing her. But how?"

The Titans returned home particularly late. Melissa was sitting on the floor, flipping through channels, Flame asleep on the couch. Robin walked to his room without a glance at either of them.

"Thanks for watching him for us." Raven said.

"Oh, it was nothing. I've got five younger siblings of my own, so I'm use to watching kids. Besides, he's a good kid." They stared at her.

"Flame? A good kid?" Mel nodded, baffled. Beast Boy pointed to the sleeping child. "This little monster right here?"

"Hey Mel," Raven moved in front of her hysteric boyfriend, talking over him. "Do you think you could stay at the Tower for maybe a week or so? I don't trust Flame, and we may need someone to watch him again." The girl shrugged.

"Sure, why not?"

"That was pathetic!" Walker cowered slightly at Slade's wrath, but Star didn't even flinch. "Why is it the two of you couldn't take on the Titans without it becoming a disaster!"

"Well, they do outnumber us." Slade turned on her.

"I seem to remember Robin taking on four Titans by himself and succeeding!"

"Yes, but first of all, at that time the Titans had lost their leader. Second, I'm not Robin. Third, he is impossible to work with!" Star yelled, pointing at Walker.

"Me!" He shouted, bewildered. "You're the one who ran me into a wall!"

"You set off the alarm!"

"Well you-"

"ENOUGH!" Slade roared. The two fell silent. "I don't care whose fault it was. That was disgraceful, and I had better never see anything like it again! Do I make myself clear?" They nodded wordlessly. "Good. Now get out of my sights."

The two walked down the hall in silence. Star couldn't stand it. She didn't want to take a casual stroll through Slade's hideout with Walker. She wanted to wring his neck. She settled on staring straight-ahead, pretending he wasn't there. But of course, Walker ruined this plan as he broke the silence between them.

"Meet me in the main room at six, tomorrow morning." She raised an eyebrow, glancing at him.

"And why would I want to do that?" Walker refused to look at her. He was still furious with her, but knew better than to disobey Slade and not work with her.

"Slade planned a meeting for us in the morning." She stopped at her door, and Walker continued down the hall. Star went inside her room, happy to be away from Walker. As Star collapsed on the bed, her happiness faded, quickly replace with pain and guilt. She closed her eyes, pushing the image of the fight with the Titans from her mind, and settled in for a cold and restless night.
