(A.K.A. DeathIsMyWayOut)

Disclaimer: Slate is one of my original Characters so don't steal him! And sadly I do not own Teen Titans, if I did would I be writing a Fan fiction about them? No.

Slate opened grey eyes, each grey orb swirled with a blue; everyone always told him that he could seduce any woman that came in his path, and there was one he had set those mesmerizing eyes on.

Starfire looked at her alarm clock, red numbers blaring, causing her to shut her eyes. She rubbed the pupils behind the eyelids and opened her bright emeralds again, looking at the clock. 4:15 am. She sighed and turned in her bed, "Too early to get up…"

Knock! Pause. Louder Knock! "Starfire, get up!" Beast Boy's voice echoed out loudly, stirring Starfire, her dream ending abruptly.

"What time is it..?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"C'mon Star get up! I made tofu for breakfast!" The changeling hollered cheerfully.

Starfire let out a sigh and stood, pink silk pajama pants covered her legs, and a silk spaghetti strap tank top covered her torso and chest. "I am coming Friend Beast Boy, please hold on."

"Ok, see you in the kitchen!" Beast Boy said enthusiastically and ran down stairs.

Starfire laughed warmly and looked in the mirror, her hair disheveled. She grabbed the brush that sat on the table next to the mirror and brushed through her slightly tangled locks. Once her fiery mane was tamed she left her room, making her way downstairs.

"Ew! Beast Boy, dude that is disgusting, I'm making real food!" Starfire heard Cyborg yell as she walked into the common room, looking at the kitchen, smiling.

"Dude, there is nothing with my tofu!" Beast Boy howled angrily.

"Yes there is! It's disgusting!" Cyborg yelled back at him.

"Why don't you both make breakfast?" Robin offered, rubbing his temples.

"Well I already finished making it," Beast Boy pouted, looking at the boy wonder.

"Then you can eat that and Cyborg can make edible food for the rest of us," Raven chimed in with a mono-tenor.

"But I worked so hard on making in for you guys…" Beast Boy frowned and looked down.

"Don't worry friend Beast Boy, I will eat your tofu with you," Starfire walked over to him, a friendly smile on her face.

"Really, you mean you'll eat it!" Beast Boy looked at her hopefully.

"Don't Star, you might die," Cyborg laughed, but stopped once Starfire looked at him with eyes that meant, 'Oh my gosh! I will die if I eat it?' In other words, she believed him. "Uh, I was only kidding."

Starfire nodded and smiled as she watched Beast Boy put tofu on her plate. "You'll love it Star!" He hooted happily.

"Thank-you, Friend." She smiled and took the plate as he handed it to her.

"Go on, try it!" The green changeling looked at her with wide eyes.

Starfire took her fork and dug into a pile of tofu scrambled eggs. Everyone watched her as she chewed, expecting her to vomit any moment, "This…is…absolutely delectable!" Starfire grinned at Beast Boy as everyone stared in amazement.

Slate grumbled irritably as he shoved a piece of toast in his mouth. His slate eyes looked around the interior to the room he was in. It looked like any other kitchen, and the hallway that led from the kitchen to a bathroom and living room type area looked normal. The hallway that branched off of that hallway led to two bedrooms and another room. In that other room there was a locked door, and if you were to go through that it would lead to something out of the ordinary to find in a normal house: Machines, computers and other large technology based objects.

Slate walked down one hallway, into the living room and walked down the other hallway, going into the near empty room and over to the locked door. He unlocked the door with a key and stepped inside, the computer humming with life, like they normally did, and the machines growling as they worked. He peered around and sighed, this place was no different even with his teacher gone. "Slade, I know what it is you want me to do but I fear I cannot do that…not with her there, not after what happened so long ago."

--Flash back--
"Don't leave me, please do not!" The young girl, only at the age of nine cried to him, he was twelve and he had to leave her world.

"I have to, I'm sorry," He murmured to her, and looked away from her sad face.

"But I love you, Slate!" The small girl grabbed his hand and began to cry.

"Please do not cry," He wiped away her tears and hugged her, "You do not love me and I do not love you," He knew it would hurt her to say those words, but she was young, so was he but he was wiser. He knew that they'd never be together even at an older age, why make it hurt her more by saying he loved her back?

"I do love you though…" She cried out as he let go of her and walked away, never to look into those vast eyes again…

--End Flash Back--

"Slade, I can't do it. Not with her there," Slate spoke softly, blue and grey eyes shut heavily.

"You will do it, no matter what!" A strained hiss echoed through the room, it disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Even in death you manage to be powerful, isn't that right, Slade?" Slate sighed, knowing he would get no response this time.

Starfire sat happily as she watched Cyborg and Beast Boy play there video game. "Who is winning in your video of game?"

"Me, of course!" Cyborg boasted.

"Oh shut up!" Beast Boy growled and pounded the buttons on his game controller.

Starfire laughed quietly and stood, deciding to go back to her room since only BB and Cyborg were in the common room, and they were both occupied with the television.

As she climbed the stairs she heard voices coming from above; she stopped and listened.

"I can sense a very strong…presence around the city lately."
"Do you know who or what it is?"
"No, I think it's a human…or at least something close enough to human."
"That's all you know?"
"Yeah, pretty much. I don't know why I'm feeling it all of a sudden, the way it feels is as if it's been here for a very long time."
"Hmm, I'm not sure, but thanks for telling me, Raven."
"Yeah…oh and Robin, be careful I have no idea when this person will attack, I can tell by the tainted brain waves that it does not have good intentions."
"Yeah, thanks again, Rae."

Starfire shook her head and began to walk up the stairs again, once reaching the top Robin and Raven had gone back to their rooms, "Hmmm, a person? It sounded like Raven was worried about what they might cause, that is bad right?"

Raven slumped down on her bed, violet locks falling around her face, "I don't know who you are but your not getting anywhere near her." Raven knew part of what they wanted, Starfire, "I can't tell Robin, not yet, he will freak." She shook her head and looked into a mirror on her wall, "I don't know why you want her so much."

A/N: Okay, okay, it was really short for a first Chapter but I had to end it there. Okay, I didn't HAVE to end it there but for the most part it was the best place to stop. Hmmmm, so yeah, that's all I guess.
Until Next time,
