Here is the long awaited chapter, although it is short i am sorry fr that, but still here it is in all it's short glory.
Chapter 11: No longer Starfire
Starfire flew above the city tears running down her face. She now knew what she needed to do and began her way, her journey to the other side. She had been raised to know better. She had been lectured to be useful in anyway possible. After her parents died she kept to her word and promised her father that she would never turn evil. She would never tilt the balance onto the opposing side. She had also vowed that she would not break the promise. Now she was going back on it, and she wasn't even aware of it. She flew over the peaks of buildings and swooped down by the streets. She then found a very unwelcoming alley and waited. She knew Kevin and she was quite familiar with Slade. So she knew that they would find her. She walked into the darkness that began to fill her surroundings and let out a deep sigh. She was giving herself up; she was always one to be used so it was nothing new. In her past it was rare for her to think on her own and take actions upon herself, always one to be told what to do, and she as a good and caring person, be the one to fulfill whatever it is that a person wants as long as it was good.
Now here she was doing the same thing only now she wasn't doing it for good. She was doing it for bad. But she didn't know how bad it really was.
She heard the slightest ruffle and stir of the wind and she felt his presence.
He was here. He would make her feel better. Make her feel wanted. Make her feel loved. She needed him now probably just as much as he needed her.
He stepped out of the shadows and looked over to her. When he saw her teary eyes his face was softened with a saddened expression.
She ran over to him and he held her tightly in a warm embrace. Her tears flowed even more down her orange tinted cheeks.
"Kevin, you were right." She muttered between her muffled cries.
"Shh…It's okay Kori. You're alright, I'm here." He whispered and cooed, to make her calmer. She dug her head into his chest and he picked her up bridal style. He took flight away from the alley and on towards a lair.
He had received what he wanted and was now delivering his package to Slade. Kevin didn't see Starfire as a thing, but Slade had somehow made him see that he could have more, all he needed was power.
So Kevin didn't pass up the chance to tell him about Starfire and her secret. Slade became highly interested and ordered him to go fetch her for him. Kevin only wanted to see Starfire again so he didn't let the chance slip and obeyed his master. He was happy. He would finally have the love of his life and second rank to the most powerful being in the entire universe. Life for him was getting better by the second. Although in the pit of his stomach he felt full of guilt.
Later that day Robin and the other titans were in the common room doing their usual things.
"Hey whose turn to do dinner?" Beastboy asked. Everyone looked at each other and then back at Beastboy.
"Isn't it Starfire's turn?" Robin asked, wondering if Starfire was still on the rooftop.
When he said Starfire the two other boys shot their hands up.
"NO!" They said in unison.
Robin lifted a brow, as if for asking for an explanation.
"Why can't Star cook our dinner?" Robin asked.
Both Cyborg and Beastboy scratched the back of their heads and looked at each other to tell him. Cyborg nudged Beastboy and that meant he had to explain.
"Look, Star's cool and all, but her cooking kind of makes me sick, literally, and we just think maybe she shouldn't do it…today." Beastboy explained. But that just made Robin angry and gave them a glare that would put anyone to shame and misery.
"You both know how much Star loves to cook for us. It's the least we can let her do. Were you even there when we saw what happened to her! I mean that Klevin(yeah it's supposed to be spelled wrong, but Robin doesn't want to say Kevin) or what ever his name is, is probably bringing up all those old memories, we can at least make her feel better by letting her cook us dinner!" Robin was angry and he was throwing a fit at the two boys. But Cyborg and Beastboy understood what he meant, and felt bad. They only thought about themselves not their teammate. Beastboy stepped back by Cyborg, with his eyes fixed on the floor.
"Man, we're sorry. We didn't think about it like that." Cyborg said. Raven couldn't concentrate any more so she shut her book and stood up with in under her arm.
"That's because you idiots don't think at all." She said, already mad at them for not letting her read.
"Hey! We do so think!" Beastboy yelled back.
Raven just rolled her eyes and walked over to the kitchen counter to start her herbal tea.
"Well if it's Starfire's turn then where is she?" Beastboy asked. Cyborg shrugged, and looked over onto Robin. Robin had calmed down a bit and was now thinking the same thing.
"Why don't you go get her Robin?" Cyborg suggested, knowing there was some type of friction between his two teammates.
"Yeah Robin, we aren't gonna wait all night." Beastboy added.
Robin wanted to go, but after what happened up on the roof, he wasn't sure if he can look at her right now. He knew deep down inside that he had somehow hurt her. But he wasn't sure how.
'She doesn't like me the way I do her' He thought.
"Uh…"Was all Robin can come out with. He might as well go up and apologize, all though he still wasn't sure what he did wrong, and while he was up there, bring her down to make her fell better.
'Yeah, that'll work' He thought.
"Robin, are you just going to stand there like a statue or are you going to get Starfire?" Raven asked.
Robin snapped out of his daze and nodded.
"I'll go look for her." He said, as he walked out of the room and up to the roof.
After Robin left the room, Beastboy asked a question.
"Hey did any of you pay attention to what Star was babbling about earlier?"
Cyborg put a hand behind his head scratching it, as if thinking.
"What did she ask you?" He asked.
"Um…something about pudding I think, or something." Beastboy said.
"No. It was something about our game." Cyborg suggested.
"No I'm pretty sure it was the pudding."
"No man, I'm telling you it had to do something with our game, because I think she kept asking if I was better than you, so I just kept saying yes." Cyborg said.
"SO you lied to her!" Beastboy commented.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I was telling the full truth."
"Na-Uh! You are SO not better than me!"
"Keep telling yourself that." Cyborg mocked.
Beastboy crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"Fine I will." He said.
Raven rolled her eyes.
"Boys…" She muttered under breath.
Robin was making his way to the top of the roof, thinking of what he should say.
He was going over the conversation in his head over and over again but it always ended with him getting slapped.
He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts.
She wouldn't slap him.
Would she?
He opened the door the lead to the top but when the door swung open.
He could tell something was wrong.
The air was empty.
Everything was still and he had the sudden urge to yell for her name.
He ran out and found that no one was there except for himself.
"Starfire?" He called.
But there was nothing but the stillness of the air to answer him.
He ran to the edge of the roof.
For what reason?
He just felt the need to.
When he was sure he was alone and no one was there, he decided that maybe she retreated to her room.
So with one last glance to the roof he closed the door behind him and walked over to her room hoping to find her there.
But somehow, he knew she wouldn't be there.
Kevin looked down to the princess's angelic face.
He truly loved her.
But if he did…why was he doing this?
Why was he giving her to an evil villain?
His mind was having second thoughts about his mission.
But why?
He was so sure of what to do and so determined in finishing his job he didn't think.
All that he had really paid attention in what his master told him was the part where his Kori would be with him.
When he heard that, he couldn't wait to accomplish what he was set of to start.
But now looking down at her sleeping angelic face, he felt the same feeling he had when she came looking for his love.
Guilt.
Kevin flew over to the lair with a tired and sleeping Starfire.
No.
She wasn't Starfire.
That was her titan name.
She was Kori again.
Slade had been awaiting their arrival and was most pleased that his plan was going much quicker than he had planned.
He would have his power finally.
He was quite impressed to think that his apprentice was so good as to persuade Starfire into becoming Kori in less than a week.
In fact all she needed was a day.
But of course, Slade knew it wasn't just Kevin that made her agree into helping them.
It was Robin.
He pushed her over the edge and now she was Slade's for the taking.
Kevin entered the room, which Slade was sitting at and awaited for the next phase.
Slade turned in his chair to face him and glanced at the sleeping girl.
"I have obtained the girl Master. She has agreed to our term and is more than willing to help I am sure." Kevin pronounced.
"Good. Very Good." Slade said clearly.
"We will begin the next part of our plan tommorow. Be prepared. Take her to the'guest' room, and throw out that Titans communicator. It has no purpose anymore." Slade ordered.
Kevin nodded and knew what Slade meant by the guest room.
He clutched the girl closer to his body and made his way to an isolated room.
The room had a metal door, which opened into a very gray room.
The room held one bed and that was all. Or at least all you were able to see.
Dark gray walls covered the area with a matching lighter gray concrete floor.
The bed was more of a rock than a bed but had a black quilt placed on it, making it seem like a place to sleep.
Kevin walked closer to the bed so he would be able to set her down but when he got to it he saw a suit.
A uniform of some kind.
It was black just as Kevin's with orange and silver streaks running down it in a lining.
It was folded so that you were able to see the embedding silver plaque that held a cutting "S".
He gently placed Kori down onto the hard mattress and pulled the thin cover over her fragile body.
She stirred a bit but not enough to show any sign of waking.
The uniform was placed at the foot of the bed and he gave her quick kiss on the forehead before whispering,
"Good-night my princess."
He grabbed the communicator to throw it out as ordered and left the room.
Kori slept fearfully of the future ahead but somehow managed to squeak out one last phrase from her dreams.
"Good-night Robin"
Robin looked frantically all around the tower in search for Starfire.
But she was no where to be found.
He had already checked her room but she wasn't there.
He checked all the other rooms in the house and was now making his way back to the kitchen to alert the others.
He ran through the sliding doors to everyone's surprise in seeing him panting for breath.
"Dude…" Beastboy said.
"Man are you alright?" Cyborg asked.
Robin leaned one hand on the border of the door.
"Starfire's…Gone…" Robin breathed out.
"So…you want us…to…" Beastboy fiddled with his fingers.
"Starfire's GONE!" Robin yelled.
"Are you sure she didn't just go out to the mall or something." Raven suggested.
Robin looked down at the ground in thought.
'She could be just out…' he mused.
But something told him to get into protective gear and search and fan out for her.
"Maybe, but still let's just make sure." He said.
Cyborg looked over to Beastboy who just shrugged.
"Sure, let me get a trace on her communicator." Cyborg said.
He played around with his arm turned around.
Beastboy looked back at Robin who seemed very worried about something.
Or more so, someone.
"Robin, she's probably just at the mall like Raven said, no need to get all jumpy." Beastboy reassured.
Robin saw what Beastboy was trying to do and offered a weak smile.
"Yeah…maybe." Robin whispered.
His thoughts once again got tangled in with his affection to the tameranean.
They were soon inturupted with Cyborg's beeping arm.
"Cyborg?" Robin saw the look on his face when he turned around.
It was the same look Robin had at the moment.
Worried.
"Guys…my tracker signals keep saying 'ERROR'"
Both Raven and Robin knew what that meant and now everyone except Beastboy had a look of worry.
"So that means you have to get you arm fixed?" Beastboy tried.
Robin knew what was coming but he was praying, hoping, that he would say yes.
Of course this didn't happen.
Cyborg shook his head sadly.
"No Beastboy." Cyborg started.
Beastboy began to catch on but barely.
"It means, her communicator's been deactivated. Purposely." Cyborg finished.
It left the room in silence, now not only was Robin thinking of Starfire's safety, but everyone in the room.
Why would she purposely deactivate her Titans Communicator?
No…she wouldn't do it on purpose.
Someone else did it.
She was kidnapped.
And Robin had one name rolling in his mind on who could've done it.
Kevin.
End of the shortest chapter ever.
Sorry for such a short chapter but because I love my fans so much I decided to at least "try" and write another chapter even of I am at another house.
Well I have to admit I didn't like this chapter at all. But hopefully you'll still review and help me out.
I know I probably still left a lot grammar errors because I'm doing all this as quick as possible without even looking it over.
When I get home I'll try and clean it out.
Anyway…
About this chapter, all I tried to state is that Robin thinks Kevin took Star and that "Starfire" is no more. I stated that in replacing her name with Kori.
Well…yea…tell me what you think I have to go now because im not even suppose to be on here…since this is another house….
O and thank for all the reviews! I'm almost at 100!
And it's my first Fic!
Love your,
One-n-only,
Princess Lali of both Spain and England.
P.S. again im really sorry this is such a short chapter but don't be expecting lots of these because im going back home on Wednesday. So do not despair!
