The Titans had gone. Leaving Starfire at the tower alone. Pondering everything Robin had told her. She was crying. She had never wanted something so badly. Even though she wanted to be with Robin, she could not. There's to much in the way. Though...what? What exactly was in the way? She couldn't think of anything. She gasped and ran to the roof.
"S...Selene! Miss Selene! I wish to speak with you!" Starfire shouted into nothing.
"Wish...?" She heard Selene's voice once more. Starfire turned around to find her sitting on the edge of the building.
"Miss Selene. I am pleased to see you." Starfire said happily.
"I'm pleased as well. I wasn't sure that you would call me again. So...what can we help you with?" Selene smiled sweetly. Stafire took a deep breath.
"You will...help me?" Starfire asked. Selene smiled and looked at the city.
"Of course my dear. Now...tell me. What is it you want?" Selene asked.
"I...I...only wish to be with Robin, but I am afraid that there is to much in the way..."
Selene smiled and looked at the city again. She looked at the sky, seeing all the shining stars. The moon was full that night. She stood up and walked over to Starfire.
"Starfire. Do you see that star?" Selene pointed to a shining star, sitting ever so close to the moon. Starfire nodded.
"It is...most beautiful." Starfire gazed at the sky.
"That is my star. That is how I shall grant your wish."
"Huh?"
"Close your eyes and wish hard. Think only of what you want. I will do the rest..." Selene said softly. Starfire did as she asked without hesitation. She closed her eyes tight and held her hands together.
I want to be with Robin. Only Robin...just us two...only you Robin.
Selene smiled and her eyes glew bright. Starfire was surrounded by a silver light. Her arms went limp and eyes would not open. The light dimmed and it gently laid Starfire on the ground. She seemed to be sleeping soundly. A smile on her face. Selene smiled. Starring at the sleeping princess.
"Sweet Dreams...Koriand'r" She looked over at the city again. "Your Robin should be here soon."
The Titans were back at Titans Tower. It seems that Dr. Light had just decided to break out of prison. Of course the fact that he wasn't hard to deal with and that he was still terrified of Raven, didn't make it difficult to put him right back in. They had noticed that Starfire had not shown up, but Robin let it slide. Thinking that Starfire probably wanted to be alone right now. Cyborg said nothing, but thought the same thing. Besides, they hadn't been gone long.
When they entered the living room. Starfire wasn't there. Raven looked around. She thought maybe Starfire was just hold up in her room, but something felt off to her. Something was wrong.
"Maybe we should look for her." Raven suggested. Robin and Cyborg nodded. Beast Boy looked at the others and grunted.
"Will someone tell me what is going on?" He yelled, flapping his arms back and forth. As everyone went off in differant directions, they all said in unison.
"No." Very bluntly. BB fumed.
"Bet Starfire'll tell me." Beast boy muttered as he walked off to look for her as well.
Raven knocked on Starfire's bedroom door. There was no answer. She looked inside, but saw nothing. Ravens bad feeling was getting worse.
Cyborg and Robin had the same idea and headed to the roof. They ran into eachother at the intercepting hallways.
"Oh...I'll check the roof." Robin said as he continued to walk past him. Cyborg walked on as well.
"Nah, I can check the roof." Cyborg's voice was beginning to sound as if he was agitated. Cyborg cared about Starfire, she was sweet and kind, easily pushed over and deceived. He felt a need to protect her. Take care of her. Though if it was just as a friend, or something else, Cyborg wasn't sure. Robin and Cyborg had seemed to be competing in step at who could get there first. They opened the roof door at nearly the same time. They saw her. Sleeping soundly near the roofs edge. They sighed in relief.
"You are Robin. Yes?"
They looked up at the sky to see Selene hovering high above Starfire's body. She slowly lowered herself to the ground and stood between Starfire and the boys.
"We were so certain that Robin would come alone. Though it seems there is another...who has come to claim her affection. It doesn't matter though. We made a promise...and we will keep it." She raised her hand and before either Robin or Cyborg could react, they were surrounded by a bright light.
"What?" They said together. Robin looked at Starfire, who seemed to be unharmed.
"What did you do?" He demanded. Selene smiled and at once, Robin was released. Cyborg remained frozen as he was. He could feel his power draining, as he struggled to get free. Whether it was Selene he did not know, but something or someone, was draining his battery. He began to fade and before he knew it, everything had gone black. Robin heard a faint "Thud" and turned to see Cyborg on the floor as well.
"Cyborg!" Yelled Robin.
"I am sorry, but we cannot have you getting in the way...not right now." She said kindly. Robin charged at the glowing woman.
"Hold on..." She said again. Robin stopped dead in his tracks, noticing now that Selene had placed a hand on Starfire's motionless body. Threatening to push her gently off the Tower.
"Don't you dare!" Robin said threateningly. Selene smiled sweetly and pushed Starfire slowly. Robins eyes widened as he watched her unconscious body roll off the edge. Without thinking about, he ran fast and jumped off the edge. He pulled out his grappling gun and hooked Starfire by the waist and did the same for the building with another one.
"You were right...he does love her..." Selene said softly into nothing. She sighed and raised her hand again. As Robin was being pulled up, he could see and feel the light cover his body again. He looked down at Starfire. She had not woken up, but her body was surrounded as well.
"Starfire!" He yelled into the light. With that, he could feel nothing else. Neither could he see anything. He had lost consciousness.
"Now...we will begin." Selene smiled and disappeared into her own blinding light.
