Chapter 12: The Fight

The Titans East were walking down a path looking for the perfect spot to eat the pizza Mas y Menos picked up. Starfire wasn't helping them unfortunately. She was looking at the garden surrounding the path.

"Oh friends! Does this scene not please you?" she asked pleasantly.

"Sí, sí" Mas y Menos said sighing looking at her.

"Yeah Star, it's nice," Aqualad and Bee said still looking around.

"THERE!" Speedy yelled. He saw an area with a big shade area near a tree. They all ran to it but of course, Mas y Menos got there first. They started to run around the tree until an explosion blasted them off course. Bee, Starfire, Aqualad, and Speedy all stopped.

"WHOA!" Aqualad yelled. "What was that!"

"I don't know Aqua-" Bee was cut off as she was hit with a blue light. Everyone else got into fighting position. Bee ran up to them and told her team,

"The moment's that we've been training for is finally here! GET READY!" There was another blue light blasted towards them and they quickly dodged it away. Mas y Menos spun around to clear the smoke and all they saw was a silhouette of a man. Soon that silhouette jumped up into the air and got a weapon ready.

"TITANS EAST, GO!" Bee yelled. Starfire flew into the sky, star bolts ready. Speedy got an arrow out and started to shoot it toward the man. Mas y Menos got ready to attack once he reached the ground and Aqualad tried to blast water at him. Bee flew up into the sky with Starfire, her lasers ready. The guys held their attacks until they saw the outcome. The man seemed to dodge all those attacks in mid-air and he had his staff in hand. HeDECIDED to strike at Aqualad first hitting him in the stomach, making it hard for him to breathe. The man ran to Aqualad and was about to hit him until a green light broke the staff in two. He looked up and saw Starfire aiming her star bolts at him.

"Well, this shall be interesting," the figure said forming a plan in his head. He quickly threw ten smoke pellets in each direction making a heavy smoke cloud. Everyone started to cough and wave the smoke away. Mas y Menos started to spin around to make the smoke disappear until the man threw something onto the ground making the two stop running. He ran up to Mas y Menos and punched them in the stomach before going to Aqualad. He threw some kind of glass and somehow it got bigger trapping Aqualad inside of it. Aqualad tried to punch and kick but it didn't work. He tried to use water but since he was inside that glass trap, he couldn't access any. He threw a net at Bumblebee and if she moved, it would shock her. She tried to turn smaller but the net wouldn't let her. The more she moved, the shock increased. Inside the net she screamed,

"Starfire, Speedy! Be careful! The guy knows what he's doing!"

Starfire and Speedy heard what Bee said from wherever they both where. Speedy shot three arrows, with an extinguisher in each of them, at the ground. The smoke cleared for him and took out three more arrows to clear the smoke for Starfire.

"Starfire!" he yelled.

"YES?" she yelled back.

"Use a green star bolt to show me where you are! I'm going to clear the smoke for you by shooting arrows and I don't want to hit you!"

"OKAY!"

Soon a green light was seen in front of him and he shot three arrows around the light and luckily, she flew up in the air when the arrows made contact with the ground. She was about to thank him when she saw the figure behind Speedy.

"SPEEDY WATCH OUT!" she yelled. He turned around and was punched in the face. He tried to get out an arrow but was kicked in the stomach. It was like the air was taken out of him. He bent over grabbing his stomach trying to breathe while Starfire threw star bolts at the figure. After a short while, Speedy reached for an arrow that contained a punching glove in it and aimed it for the figure. The figure saw the arrow coming his way from the corner of his eye and jumped grabbing Starfire by her hands and let her take the punch. Starfire flew a few feet back from the impact of that punch. Speedy cursed and then took out a few arrows shooting them at the figure that was currently running toward him. The figure took out another staff and hit Speedy with it. Speedy used his bow to prevent it but eventually, the staff broke Speedy's bow in half. Speedy looked up with wide eyes and the figure punched him hard. Speedy fell to the ground holding his jaw and tried to get up until he got punched again. He expected another blow until he saw that Starfire had gotten up and was currently trying to get him with her star bolts. Speedy ran towards the fight and didn't see what came up from behind him. It was like a boomerang made out of a sharp 'S' and it hit Speedy behind his neck knocking him to the ground. The figure caught the 'S' and then threw a net similar to Bee's at him. He tried to get up but a strong electrical shock hit him. Starfire saw how she was the only one not trapped and immediately looked at the figure.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FRIENDS!" she yelled.

"My, my Starfire, is that any way to treat an old friend?" the figure said. Starfire was slightly confused. The figure came closer to Stafire and she gasped.
"N-no...it can't be," she gasped.

Titans Tower..

Raven was sitting in-between Cyborg and Beast Boy watching them play a video game while she drank some herbal tea.

"BOO-YA!" Cyborg yelled.

"NO WAY MAN YOU TOTALLY CHEATED!" Beast Boy yelled.

'Okay, two guys who are 19 and 20 still act like they were 14.' Raven thought in her head. The argument went on and on until the doors opened and there was Robin. He walked in and then went into the kitchen. He drank a glass of water and sat on the counter. He was thinking about how Barbara could've killed him just like that and it's taken him years to just track Slade down. He was about to go to the main room until Barbara came in.

"Hey Rich," she said.

"What are you doing here? You should be in the hospital wing." he said.

"Well I just wanted to tell you thanks for taking care of me."

"Yeah, well I before you tell me thanks, I want to know how you killed Slade. His mask messed up our scanners when I went to investigate it." Barbara was quiet. For once, she didn't have a plan for this. But just as she was to open her mouth to say something, they both heard Raven call Robin.

"ROBIN! GET IN HERE!" she yelled. Robin looked at Babs and then left the room. Babs breathed out after holding her breath and followed after Robin.

"What is it Raven?" Robin said.

"Bee wants to tell you something." He looked at the screen.

"Yeah, What's up Bee?"

"Um…Speedy's on his way there with Starfire." she said.

"Okay. Is this good or bad?"

"um…well…let's just say you should have a bed open in your hospital wing. They'll be there in ten minutes." Before Robin could add anything else, she turned off her communicator. Robin narrowed his eyes. He then turned around and faced his team.

"You heard her, make sure there's a bed open in the hospital wing." he said. Everyone didn't need to be told twice. They all left except for Barbara.

"Robin, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I said, go make sure there's a bed open in the hospital wing." he replied.

She narrowed her eyes and glared at him.

"Honestly, I don't get why you should be worrying about that alien slut instead of your big sister. But I guess you always make mistakes just like before." Just as she was walking out she heard 'bitch' and she flipped him off before the doors shut.

Titans East..

"Well, why are you so surprised Starfire? It's only me." said the figure.

"But it cannot be!" she screamed scooting back some. "You are supposed to be dead! Friend Raven said that Barbara has killed you!"

"Well, does it look like I'm dead? I'm not a ghost you know, and certainly not a hologram."

"No, it cannot be! You are not real!" She threw a star bolt at him and he quickly dodged it.

"Well, I am real, Starfire. Believe me." Slade said. He quickly fled but not before throwing his mask at Starfire. It landed right in front of her and she just stared at it. Then smoke started to come out of it and she was scared it might hurt her. She blasted it with her star bolts and it quickly disintegrated. She then remembered that everyone was trapped and went to go help them. She first helped Mas y Menos out by melting the substance that wouldn't let them move. She helped them both up and then moved on to Aqualad. She kept punching the glass until a small crack appeared. She used her eye beams to make the crack bigger and once it was really big, Aqualad punched the glass from the inside after Starfire had gone and helped Bee.

"Aqualad!" Bee yelled.

"What?" he yelled back.

"You, Mas, and Menos go to the tower. Make sure it's safe to go back home alright?"

"Alright, Mas, Menos, let's go!" The three guys headed towards Titans Tower. Starfire was trying to rip apart the net that covered Bee. She touched it hesitantly and surprisingly, it didn't shock her. She ripped it apart easily and helped Bee up. Starfire then flew over to Speedy and thought that since Bee's net didn't shock her, Speedy's would be the same. She grabbed onto Speedy's and was instantly shocked. She let go quickly so all she did was get a small sting from it. She took a deep breath and grabbed the net one more time. It was as if the net were cemented to the ground because it wouldn't move. Strafire screamed as she held on longer and since she did, the shock increased, giving her more pain. She let go and fell to the ground. Bee wanted to help her so she tried to use her lasers thinking it would weaken the power of the shock. It only increased it. Starfire once again took a deep breath and weakly got up and went towards the net. She used her star bolts thinking it would help her become more shock-proof as she tried to rip apart the net once again. This time, she wouldn't let go until Speedy was free. She screamed as she felt the shock go through her once again but this time, it was really intense. Soon, the net was slowly ripping and Starfire only kept her grip.

'Just a little more and he's free' she thought. Speedy and Bee were encouraging her and Starfire just kept pulling.

'Just a little more….' she kept thinking. Soon they all heard a loud scream and a rip. Speedy jumped out and Starfire smiled weakly.

"THANKS STARFIRE!" Speedy said.

"WAY TO GO STARFIRE!" Bee cheered.

"It was no pro-" Starfire passed out and fell to the ground.

"Oh my god!" Speedy said.

"OH MY GOD!" Bee shouted. She took out her communicator and called Aqualad.

"AQUALAD! PUT THE COORDINATES OF WHERE WE ARE NOW IN THE TE CAR AND PUT IT ON AUTOPILOT." She screamed.

"Okay, I'll do it now." he said. After a minute he continued, "Okay, it's done, what happened?"

"I'll tell you later. You, Mas, y Menos, stay at the tower and wait for me to come. Speedy's going to take Starfire back to Titans Tower."

"Okay…"

Moments later did the TE Car came. Bee helped Speedy put Starfire in the backseat since she was unconscious. Bee checked her before she left Speedy.

"Well, all she has is bruises and she should be awake when you are already in Tower." Bee stated.

"Okay. Do you want a ride home?" Speedy asked while getting into the drivers seat.

"I'll walk. I'm more concerned about Starfire being taken cared of. She put up a good fight, the best out of all of us and she deserves to see what she wants to when she wakes up. But don't forget to tell her what we thought of her being on our team, alright?"

"Got it, are you sure you don't want a ride home Bee?"

"Positive. Now go."

"Alright, I'll call you after everything."

"Have a safe trip."

Once she saw the car sped by her, she started walking. It was about four hours until she got to Titans East Tower. (A/n: maybe she took the scenic route?) She stopped in front of the door and took out her communicator. She figured that Speedy and Starfire would be there soon. She pressed a few buttons and Cyborg's face appeared.

"Yo Sparky," she said.

"Hey Bee, happy to see me?" Cyborg replied smiling.

"Actually, I need to speak with Robin." Cyborg's face fell. Soon Raven's face appeared on the small screen.

"Hey Bee," she said.

"Hey Raven, is Robin there? I need to speak with him."

"Sure hold on," Bee waited patiently and heard Raven calling him. Soon, Robin's face appeared on Bee's communicator screen.

"Yeah, What's up Bee?" Robin said.

""Um…Speedy's on his way there with Starfire." she said.

"Okay. Is this good or bad?"

"Um…well…let's just say you should have a bed open in your hospital wing. They'll be there in ten minutes." She saw Robin open his mouth and she quickly turned off the connection. She went inside Titans East Tower and thought, 'I hope Starfire is alright, I mean, she put up one helluva fight.'
