Here's the next chapter. It's very sad what happened with Star and Robin TT. Man these are so short! Good thing I'm just going to quickly finish this one. Believe me, I've got some better ones now. LOL. Oh well, I still like it. It's qualities good. I think the monkey guy's name is like Ma Sha Malu to or something like that...but i'm to lazy to figure out, so you'll just have to bear with me here.


Robin, along with Cyborg, Starfire, Red X, Lightning, and Thunder, traveled back to Titan's Tower to proceed with the accusation of trading Starfire for Raven and BB. Robin had gone against it at heart, but he and Starfire were forced to repress to such an unsophisticated trade.

Once they made it to the tower, the brain, arriving with Madam Rouge that good for nothing Shalala (I think that's his name; I can't remember his name), also got to the tower.

"I think you will be most preoccupied with Beast Boy and Raven once you see what they've been through," Madam Rouge stated, glaring down Robin.

"If-you-give us Starfire, we-will be most happy to give you what your heart most desires," the brain stammered.

"Who I most desire is Starfire, but it seems you won't let me have her." Robin says defensively.

Starfire hears him say "have her" in particular. "Robin wants me. . ." Starfire thought to herself. She began blushing and stared at Robin.

"Starfire? Are you ready?" Robin asked.

"Not quite," Starfire confessed, turning him around and hugging him.

"Starfire. . ." Robin repeated in his mind, but could not form the words in his mouth. Robin got a whole new feeling in his stomach and also in his heart. He wanted to be with her, but knew this was not the time to say something.

"I'm sorry to ruin you're reunion, but we have a business to do," Madam Rouge said.

"Don't let your guard down," Robin whispered to her.

Starfire nodded as she went to Madam Rouge, Shalala, and the brain.

"As promised, we're giving Beast Boy and Raven back to you," Madam Rouge avowed.

Shalala took out a remote with a strange setting to it. It had a giant red button in the middle, and several dials and switches that surrounded the button. Shalala turned the switches and spun the dials. He then pressed the button and out came Beast Boy and Raven.

They came out of a box under Shalala's, Madam Rouge's, and the brain's feet. Cyborg and Robin caught the unconscious Beast Boy and Raven. The evil people laughed once more before they left with their prize, Starfire.

Starfire didn't want to go, and she began crying because this meant she was parting with Robin once more. She blew him a kiss, which Robin saw, and really regretted doing this. He ran towards them, his hand extended for her to reach.

Starfire saw his hand out for hers as they departed. Starfire held out her hand as well, with an outpour of emotions. However, she was held back by Shalala as they got further apart. Robin tried to gain ground, but Cyborg and Red X held him back.

"It isn't fair!" Robin yelled as he punched the ground in agony.

"Life's not fair", Red X remarked.

"We'll get her back," Lightning told Robin.

"Well, we're more prepared to finish them off." Thunder said, sure they were going to win soon, for a lot of the villains were arrested.

(Flashback)

Lightning and Thunder saw Cyborg and Starfire get defeated by multiple enemies. Lightning thought that it was a good idea to call the police, so he ran to a phone nearby to call the police. He told them what street and all and they said they'd be on their way.

"You think this will work?" Thunder asked.

"Sure it will work", Lightning replied, "All we need to do is keep them busy for a little while and then the police will get some for sure!"

(end of Flashback)


Robin and the others went back inside with Raven and Beast Boy. They took them to the infirmary and made sure they were ok and all. They were ok, though, with many scratches.

When they awoke, Robin and Cyborg were waiting. Neither of them were the same. Raven was monstrous, more than usual, and Beast Boy acted like a brat. Their personalities were so messed up.

"Uh, . .Cyborg? You know what's up with them?" Robin asked.

"I'm not sure, but you go on out of here and get some rest, tomorrow's a big day."

"Yeah. . .I hope Beast Boy and Raven are ok." Robin said.

"I'm sure they are", Thunder said as Robin was laying down on his couch and talking to the world.

"Yeah? Well tell that to them." Robin said with a hoarse throat.

"That's no way to talk to my brother," Lightning told Robin in a hinting way.

Red X had already gone to bed to prepare for the new day, and the others slowly turned in for the night themselves.

Cyborg stayed up a little longer to find out what was wrong with Raven and Beast Boy, but nothing seemed to come up. At last, Cyborg gave up the search for the cause of this mysterious phenomenon, and decided it was best to continue his investigation tomorrow, when there was daylight and he had more sun to work with.

The time passed so quickly while they were asleep that it seemed to be only seconds when the crack of dawn came and they were awake once more, with nasty attitudes about the new day. Cyborg especially didn't like how the time flew during their sleep and he needed more.

Robin gave him the opportunity to sleep longer as he was wide awake himself and had nothing better to do than to search for the cause himself. Robin searched for about an hour before he came to one conclusion.

"They were brainwashed." Robin said as he put away his breakfast.

"Seriously?" Cyborg asked, still a little sleepy from the night.

"Yeah, and I'm not sure if they can help." Robin declared, "You remember when we were trapped in those wooden puppets and our bodies were being controlled by the puppet master?"

"How could I forget?" Cyborg asked, getting those disgusting thoughts back into his mind about how someone else was in his body.

Red X listened intently as Lightning and Thunder were snoozing from the boring conversation.

"Great, I knew there was something going on with the trade!" Cyborg yelled, which woke Lightning and Thunder straight up, literally.

"So you're saying we traded someone who could actually help us defeated the Brother Hood of Evil for two pathetic beings who don't have control over their own bodies?" Red X asked.

"When you put it that way," Robin said, discouraged by that fact, "Yes", he admitted.

"This. . .Helps a whole lot," Red X said sarcastically.

Raven and Beast Boy came out and began eating quietly to themselves, as if no one else was there. Beast Boy ate a ham sandwich, which creped Cyborg out. Raven didn't drink her herbal tea like she usually did, but soda, which creped Robin out, and what creped everyone out most of all was that they could stand each other.

"Did anyone see what I just saw?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah we did," Robin replied.

"To. . .Creepy," Red X commented.

"Well now that we're back to zero, there's one last thing I have to look at before we can be considered their tracks to be dry." Robin stated.

"Yeah, what is that?" Red X asked.

"The tower up above in space," Robin stated.

"You can't mean there again, what do you think we'll find?" Cyborg asked.

"Well Madam Rouge was up there as John, there's got to something useful up there." Robin replied.

Red X revised, "What have got to loose?"

"I say go for it all the way!" Lightning cheered.

"Yah I'm with Lightning and Robin all the way," Thunder chuckled.

Just then, Beast Boy and Raven both attacked Robin, Cyborg, Thunder, Lightning, and Red X. Whoever brainwashed them still had them under their control and ordered them to attack.

"You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up with you," Red X promised.

Robin, Cyborg, Lightning, and Thunder all headed for the space station. When they got there, they again, began looking for whatever they could ever find that was out of the ordinary. Unlike the abandoned factory where they found clues, they found nothing at the tower.

"I don't think this was a good idea," Lightning said.

"Why not?" Cyborg asked.

"Meteor!" He yelled.

"That's no meteor! That's a-" Cyborg panicked, not being able to finish his sentence.
