Chapter 12

"Friends Who Don't Trust Her."

Two weeks later…

Punch. Dodge. Kick. Starbolt. Back flip. Kick.

Starfire stared at the robot as it lay with a few other ones, on the floor in pieces. She looked around to seeRaven using her magic on a few robots, Cyborg blasting robots with his sonic cannon, Kelsey levitating some objects and throwing them robots, and Robin was in hand in hand combat with some random robots. She turned around where Beast Boy would usually be training and frowned. Even though she can see him later, it is still not the same.

"Great job Titans." Robin said after everyone had finished. They all hadn't even broken a sweat but this was just the fourth level and so far, they had all been easy. Usually by now, they would have a realistic illusion of Slade's robots…not some ordinary robots. "You all improved."

Everyone looked to be bored and Robin couldn't say he wasn't either. He would normal start at level five but he wanted to start out easy since for some odd reason. "Okay, were gonna skip a few levels." Robin told everyone as he walked towards the control panel to raise the level higher.

"About time, man." Cyborg told him as he got his sonic cannon prepared.

Starfire looked around and couldn't help but smile at some memories came back to her.

Robin was about to press the 'start' button but stopped as soon as he heard Raven's voice.

"Why don't we do this in partners?" Raven asked as she looked at Cyborg for backup on this.

"Yeah that would be awesome." Cyborg admitted. That wasn't a bad idea. They haven't done the whole partner thing for as long as he can remember. Kelsey nodded in agreement and Starfire shrugged not caring. She was too deep in her thoughts to care. Her nightmare was freaking her out but she was grateful it was a nightmare and not a vision.

Robin thought it wasn't a bad idea but a thing came to him. Beast Boy wasn't here and they were not even. "One of us isn't gonna have a partner." Robin told them. The three Titans stared at each other seeing the fact. Kelsey let her gaze fall upon Starfire and noticed that she seemed to be too deep in her thoughts to see what was going on around her.

"I'll sit over there for a while." Starfire told them as she still stood in the same position looking as if she was in her own world. Apparently, she knew what was going on but was also on her own little world. Something she picked up from Mark. It really helped at school when she was busy thinking about other stuff.

Robin nodded and raised the level to 12. Robin was paired up with Cyborg and Raven with Kelsey.

Starfire watched them fight and cheered at time to time. It seems that level 12 was Slade's robots, as they would normally fight. Raven and Kelsey fought with no problem. It was Slade's robots so they have some tricks but after a few minutes, they ended up winning. If they were real, they would only come out with a few bruises that would still be hell but Robin didn't put them to be that realistic. Starfire's thought wondered on how Robin would always put it to the highest level…Slade. Robin would always put it to be realistic as possible and he would end up hurt many times. He had beaten him but he knew that the original was indeed a lot stronger. Therefore, he would always upgrade him until it was like the original. Her train of thoughts were interrupted when she heard a loud 'Booya!'. Starfire noticed that Cyborg finished with his half of the robots and Robin had finished taking his half.

Cyborg saw Starfire looking bored. "Star, you wanna have a try?" He asked her. Starfire shook her head meaning a 'no'. He stared at her for a moment but then walked off the arena so Raven and Kelsey could have their turn.

Starfire watched them stood in the middle of the arena waiting for their enemy to appear. Starfire was bored but she was waiting until they get to the highest level. She knew Robin would so she just needed to wait.

Raven stared at her wondering why wouldn't she participate. Usually Robin would be asking on why and that she needed to participate but he was avoiding her. An illusion of Plasmus appeared before her eyes. She took one look at her friends before she started attacking the monster with her magic.

Starfire chuckled to herself as she watched Raven and Kelsey fight. Kelsey was glaring at her for a reason she didn't even know. Starfire acted as if she didn't notice though. She still thought that she works for Slade not like the others who think its Terra. Oh, she didn't fail to notice that Raven was staring at her as well. She probably was thinking of their conversation that they had for about a week ago.

-----Flashback------

Raven and I walked out of the living room. Every step I took somehow felt harder than the one before. It felt as if I was going to be punished for a crime I had done. I turned my attention away from the floor and onto Raven knowing this is going to be hell.

She's going to make me remember. I know she will. Well it is Raven I'm going to talk to. Raven is capable of making you remember these things now matter how much you don't want too. How I hated that thing about her. Not that I hate her but you know when there's something about your close friend that you hate so much? Well that is how I feel. I love Raven and all but, I seriously hate that thing about her.

I would have suspected that we were going to my room like always but she surprised me by taking a turn, which leads to the hall where her room was located. This is a sign meaning this is going to be serious. No fooling around. She opened her door and I gulped as I took a step inside her room and closed the door behind me. I looked around to find everything was the same. Everything looked like it has not been moved an inch. Why am I always surprise that she had not changed her room? I don't know but I guess that's just me.

Raven took a seat on her large round shape bed. The suns rays were illuminating her room making it seem brighter than it really is. I remembered one time that she told me that she hated when that happened. I don't know why but I think she secretly likes it.

I decided to stand up, not really wanting to sit down. Maybe incase something happens I can avoid it by making up an excuse. 'Yeah right.' I thought as I avoided Raven's gaze. 'She'll probably use her magic on me.'

Silence.

How I hated awkward silences. It just makes the situation worse and nerve-racking. If neither one of us talk I'm about to leave since where not talking but like I said before she'll probably use her magic.

"I talked to him." Raven said breaking the awkward silence. She looked at me, her eyes reflecting pain and sadness. I never saw Raven showing her emotions just like that. After all the years, I knew her; she never let any of the Titans see her showing any sign of sadness. The last time and probably the only time, I have seen her sad was when Terra was coming back. However, she would always put that blue hood of hers and go one as if nothing was bothering her. How I envy that about her. I wish I could go on with life as if nothing is wrong.

Raven turned her attention away from me and onto her giant glass window. I sighed and decided to look outside the window as well. After all the times I have been here, which were about five or four, I just noticed that you could see Jump City's buildings from here. She had a great view from the city. Maybe this is why she liked meditating in her room a lot. Even though Raven and I are close, she would still not tell me some things about her life.

I knew Raven expected me to say something but I said nothing. There was nothing for me to say. I continued watching Jump City. The sun was shining brightly making the day seem cheerful. No dark clouds or any other sign of any bad weather. Just a normal bright sunny day. The days were your suppose to go outside and spend it with your friends, family or that one special person.

I frowned. "What if you don't have anyone to spend it with?" I questioned sadly. I knew I was bringing myself down but lately sadness has overcome me. Raven turned to look at me wondering what I was talking about. I kept on staring not removing my gaze from the beautiful scene. It was so beautiful so captivating.

In seconds, Raven understood what I meant. "You have friends." She reassured me. I faked a smile. That was indeed true but my friends were breaking apart and yet I feel that it was my entire fault.

Whom am I kidding? It is my entire fault. If I never left, we would be together. Beast Boy right now would be complaining about Cyborg's food and Raven would constantly tell them to shut up. Robin would still be with Kelsey no matter what but, at least we would all be together.

'Together.' I repeated to myself. Raven turned to me sensing that I still wasn't satisfied and repeated, "You have friends." She stared at me for a moment and then turned her attention to a picture that was on her nightstand.

Something inside me snapped at her comment. "Friends that can even take care of there own damn problems." I heard myself said. My eyes widen and I turn to look at Raven. She did not notice what I had said but continued watching the city. Thank you, X'hal but… this is not good at all.

"I thought I had this under control." I mumbled to myself so Raven could not hear.

'I don't know why you're not letting me out.' A small voice questioned angrily. I blinked. This can't be happening…not now.

'Go away.' I mentally told the voice angrily.

'You saying that isn't going to make me stop. I'll find a way out and it will be soon.' The voice replied menacingly. After that, it disappeared. I thought I had it under control but I apparently was wrong.

"Starfire, I felt your emotions during our conversation." Raven told me breaking my train of thoughts. I shook my head and stared at Raven with a confuse look. How could she feel my emotions? I learned how to block them. I guess Raven is too strong. "That's not all the pain, is it?" Raven sadly asked me as she a held a picture and stared at it for a moment. I took noticed it was the one we had took so long ago.

I won't lie to her. Even if I tried I would soon tell her anyways so, why not tell her right now. "No, it is not."

Raven's eyes widen for a moment. She placed the picture on the nightstand and turned her attention to the floor as if finding sudden interest in it. "H-How can you put up with it?" She asked me in wonderment.

I stood their wondering how I did put up with it and I came across the answer. "Friends." I simply told her. "They help me through it all." I smiled at what I said. Friends. They have indeed helped me through all my pain. I couldn't have done it without them.

Raven smiled and stood up to give me friendly hug. After her hug she said, "We're here for you." I stood there shock for a moment since Raven wasn't acting…well Raven. She's not into the whole hugging thing. She saw me and smirked.

"It's been a long year." Raven told me. "I can at least show some emotion." I smiled back at her. It's been a year that I haven't talked to her so I really didn't know how much she changed. The few days that I was here weren't helping because I rather didn't thought about how much she changed and because many things were happening lately.

After that she decided to drop the subject and talked about what happened to the Titans over the year I was gone. It was fun to know that Beast Boy forced everyone to eat Tofu and in return he would take a shower…

------End of Flashback----

The alarm went off and in a second, we were all in the living room. Raven obviously teleported us there. The titans gathered around the computer. Robin was typing as fast as ever, Cyborg stood nearby getting is sonic cannon ready for the battle, and Kelsey was watching the computer screen waiting for it to show the information on the disturbance. Raven stood next to Kelsey waiting for the information as well and as for Starfire, she stood next to Cyborg just standing there waiting for Robin to announce what is the disturbance. A picture of The Hive members, not including Jinx, appeared and at the side of the picture, a small note on what was he doing and where was he.

Things were slowly turning back to normal except for the fact that Terra and Beast Boy are not here. Starfire frowned at the thought.

'I'm going to find you Terra and prove to them that you didn't do anything.'

"Come on, Star." Cyborg said as she blinked back to reality. Everyone was staring at her probably wondering if she was alright. Starfire knew that Cyborg was going to ask if she was alright so she told him 'I'm fine' as if reading his mind, which she can but she didn't. Starfire ran towards the garage and got on my motorcycle with the others on there vehicles.

-----------Normal After the fight---------------

"Ouch." Starfire groaned as she lay on the couch in the living room. Cyborg and Raven observed her making sure that she was all right and that she wouldn't hurt herself even more. Kelsey handed Cyborg an icepack that she had got for Starfire when they entered the tower.

"Lil lady what happened back over there?" Cyborg asked as he placed the ice pack on her right arm.

Starfire felt it stinging and she groaned in pain as her body ached. She slowly shrugged not knowing what was wrong. "I was throwing starbolts but somehow every time I did it caused me pain." Starfire said in confusion. She turned her head away from them to avoid their stares. She did not like it when people stare at her. It made her feel awkward. Starfire stared at the ceiling wondering what caused her starbolts to cause her pain. This was the first time that it had ever happened. Maybe it was the darkness inside of her… 'It can't be. I can't do that.'

The door open and Robin walked in the living room. He walked over towards the others and stood behind the couch not wanting to see Starfire.

Kelsey looked at him and gave him a confuse look on what was wrong with him.

Robin didn't say anything but stare, which annoyed Raven. Raven looked at him and sigh. She knew that he was avoiding Starfire and vice versa. 'This is going to be hell.' Raven thought. "Robin, do you know what happened to her?" Raven asked him, trying to bring him into conversation.

Robin shook his head meaning a 'no'. Raven gave him a death glare in return. He knew what she was trying to do.

Starfire closed her eyes hoping she will get better soon. "Raven, don't worry I'll be fine. But we really should concentrate on finding Terra." She told them trying to hide the fact that her body felt like crap.

Cyborg and Robin nodded in agreement. Robin decided this was a good time to talk. "We should track her down and she could lead us to where Slade is." Robin said in his leader voice. All eyes were on him, except Starfire's, processing the information.

Raven glared at him for not saying anything to Starfire specifically. 'Well he talks just not to her.' Raven thought as she rolled her eyes.

Kelsey turned her attention away from Robin to Starfire. "You should rest up." She tried to say sweetly. It went unnoticed to everyone but to Starfire.

Starfire stared at her and smiled back sweetly. She knows when someone is trying to disguise there true feelings by saying something sweet. Come on, Starfire did it on Robin and Kelsey's first months of going out. Starfire inwardly chuckled. 'She really hates me.' "Fine." She said in defeat after a few moments of chuckling to herself. She wasn't going to stay in the couch so she decided to go to her room. "Let me go to my room…so if you will excuse me." Starfire was about stand up but Cyborg stopped her.

"Sleep on the comfortable couch." He offered as if it was an offer you couldn't reject. She looked at him trying to see if he was joking. "You're gonna feel a lot of pain if one of us move you and you practically can't walk." Cyborg said in a brotherly way.

That was true but she didn't want to stay in the couch. Starfire sighed but a thought came across her mind. "If I can drive my motorcycle without crashing I think I can walk to my room." Starfire reassured him as she tried to stand up again. Cyborg stopped her, still having doubts. Starfire abruptly took a seat back down now getting annoyed.

"The only reason that we let you ride your motorcycle was because you were too stubborn to ride the T-Car." Raven pointed out as she stared at Starfire. Starfire sheepishly smiled in response.

A thought came to Cyborg and a smiled formed across his face.

She stared at him wondering what he was thinking. 'This is not going to be good.'

Raven looked at him wondering what he was going to do as well.

"Fine, but one of us is gonna help you. Raven isn't and I'm not. Robin's gotta help you." Cyborg told her as he tried to hide his smile.

Starfire's eyes widen at what he had said. She turned to Raven and saw a small smile. Raven obviously liked the idea.

Raven turned her attention away from Starfire and on to Robin who was getting mad at them. She smirked at him and he just let out an aggravated sigh.

Starfire turned to Cyborg and looked at him in disbelieve. "I can do it myself." She said firmly.

Kelsey stared at them knowing what they are trying to do. "I can help too." Kelsey generously offered. She flipped her blonde hair and smiled sweetly. Starfire did not want her help. In matter of fact, she doesn't want anyone's help. She can take care of herself.

Raven quickly turned her attention to Kelsey. "No, I have to talk to you." Raven told her.

Cyborg looked at Kelsey and saw that she was a bit angry. She obviously knew what he was up to but she probably thinks is to hook them up. That wouldn't be bad at all since that was partially it but the main reason is so they could talk to each other. Raven was generous enough to fill him on what's happening but he suspected something was wrong since they haven't said a word to each other for a while.

Kelsey looked at Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, and then at Robin. She can't say no. "Fine." She said in defeat.

"Well I'm out." Cyborg announced as he left to work on his 'baby' because it had been damage from the battle with the HIVE. Robin watched him go and saw him winked at him and pointed at Starfire. Robin mouthed 'Shut Up' and Cyborg left laughing.

Kelsey watched him and did not want Robin and Starfire to spend any alone time together. She can't let Starfire tell him about Slade's involvement. Slade would get mad at her, again, for she almost screwed up with the situation with Terra. In addition, her with Robin…she didn't want that to happen at all. "Maybe I—" Kelsey was interrupted by Raven.

"Kelsey and I are going to talk in her room. So you'll know where to get us." Raven dragged Kelsey towards Kelsey's room, which was unlike her, but it was the only way to get her out of there.

Starfire watched them go and as soon as they left, she turned her attention to the floor. Robin was staring at the floor as well unable to look at her.

Silence.

'I have to get up.' Starfire told herself as she removed her gaze from the floor. She took a deep breath and tried to stand up without making a sound showing any pain.

"Ow Ow Ow." Starfire said as she felt her left leg hurt really badly. She immediately sat back down and mentally cursed at herself for not putting up with the pain.

Robin turned to her immediately at the sound of her voice. "You really should stay here until you get better." Robin advised her as he walked over so he could stand in front of her.

Starfire shook her head. "No, I want to go to my room." Starfire said stubbornly as she still didn't look at him.

Robin let out an aggravated sigh. She became more stubborn over the year. "Star, you should--"

Starfire looked up at him to meet his masked eyes. "I really want to go to my room." Starfire said, purposely interrupting him.

Robin knew that there was no hope in convincing her to stay so he might as well help. "Let me help you then." He offered as he held out his hand.

Starfire felt her heart beat faster as he held out his hand. She looked away from him remembering all those times that her heart beat faster when he was around. 'He doesn't feel the same!' She angrily told herself. "I don't need any ones help." She said after a while.

Robin watched her, as she was lost in her thoughts. Maybe she was remembering what happened the other night. "Star, even though I know you hate my guts." Robin said monotonously trying to disguise the sadness at the fact. "You need my help."

Starfire stared at the floor still not saying a word. He thinks she hates him. Even though there was no hope of them ever being together…she could never hate him. No matter how much she tries, she couldn't possibly hate him. She let out an aggravated sigh. "Fine." She then turned to look up at him. "But I want you to know that I can never hate you. You are my friend."

Robin half-heartedly smiled. "Well I'll carry you since you really can't stand up." Robin scooped her off the couch and carried her to her room bridal style. The living rooms door slid open and Robin walked towards her room with Starfire in his arms.

Starfire hated this. Okay she loves it because he was carrying her and all but, she hates it. She's trying to move on from him but how can he when he's been sweet to her.

'That's why you love him.' A voice in her head told her. Starfire recognize it to be the 'darkness' inside of her. The part that gets release if she looses control. 'I don't know why but isn't that why you love him?' The voice questioned. Starfire thought that it actually sounded nice. 'He doesn't love you.' The voice bluntly said. So much for being nice. Starfire shook her head trying to snap out of her thoughts

"Do you have any clue on where Terra could be?" She asked him trying to start a conversation and to get rid of the voice in her head. Maybe they could be best friends again. It's never too late.

"No, I tried last night but no leads." He told her. Robin thought back to last week when he brought Cyborg back home. He remembered that she wasn't home until two in the morning. The alarm went off and she wasn't able to put the code because Cyborg changed it and she didn't know what it was. "Where were you the day that Cyborg came from the hospital?" He asked her.

"Close friends of mine." Starfire told him as she remembered that night. She smiled as she remembered Beast Boy and Mark putting up with Ron when he woke up.

"Why are you trying to find Terra?" Robin asked Starfire. Terra and Starfire talked but not really, when she was a Titan. Maybe because she had attacked Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven. However, it seemed that she really wanted to find her badly.

Starfire didn't need to think why. She was trying to save her of course and other reasons. "Same reason as you." She said not really wanting to go into details but knew he would pressure the subject.

"To find Slade and to question her why she joined him again?" Robin asked her. He turned a corner but couldn't stop himself of thinking why would she want to find Slade. Why was she so determined to find him? Robin didn't know but maybe from the time that he talked to her when they were on the rooftop. That day he was just confuse as he ever was.

She closed her eyes. "Sort off." Starfire said after a while, not saying that she didn't think Terra was working with Slade. "But it's not the only reason." She told him truthfully.

"What's the other reason?" He questioned her. Many things were buzzing through his head but they all seemed unlike her.

"To save her." She told him as she sighed. He could get mad. He could tell her that she attacked them but that won't change her mind. Terra needed to be saved from Slade.

"Same old Star." Robin said after a moment of silence. "Were here." Robin told her. He typed in the code so the door can open. He looked around still surprise that she has her room in different colors than lavender. He walked towards her bed and laid her down. She sat straight up.

"Thanks." She said after a while.

Robin looked down at her and smiled. "Your welcome." He stood there not knowing what to do next. Should he just leave or say something about the other day? 'What the hell should I do?' He mentally asked himself as he stared at the floor. "Starfire, what's the other reason on why you want to find Terra?" He asked her trying to start a conversation but he really did want to know her reasons.

Starfire looked at him. "I told you."

Robin walked a little closer and sat on the end of her bed. "There's another reason." He said as if he knew her to well. Well he does but not really anymore.

"And you're saying that as if you know me very well." Starfire told him truthfully a bit angry. He was making this harder for her. Why couldn't he just leave her alone so she could think of the day's events and try to figure out where Terra is or even what is wrong with her starbolts.

"I know you well enough to tell that you didn't tell me the whole thing." Robin told her ignoring her anger. A thing he just learned is that she doesn't like people assuming they know her when they truly don't. However, how does that apply to him? Come on, he didn't see her for over a year but nothing to big could have happen…right? 'I don't know her.' He told himself while Starfire tried to hide the fact that she was frowning.

"Robin, you may have learned some thing that had happened to me over the year when we were on the club but you really know nothing about me." Starfire told him monotonously. Her emerald eyes met up with his masked ones. "I'm not even sure I know you now."

Robin stood silent unable to say anything. He knew what he wanted to say but couldn't put in words.

Starfire rolled her emerald eyes in response. 'I'm being hard on him for no reason.' She told herself as she looked at him.

'No. You are treating him like he treated you.' The voice replied dryly.

'You don't know anything.' Starfire mentally said. She could tell that she made her other side angry but she didn't care.

Starfire felt something stinging on her right arm. She turned to see what was wrong and found a cut forming. Starfire closed her eyes. 'Stop!' She angrily told her other self.

'This is going to be my way out…' The voice replied menacingly.

She quickly put her hand over the cut wishing it would go away. 'Stop!' She said now really pissed off. All the pain she felt from the fight earlier was ten times worse.

'Oh, I wonder what Robin would say about you having some evil on you.' Starfire tensed as the voiced mentioned Robins name. She couldn't let Robin see her like this or he would begin to question about it. They couldn't find out that she had some powers that she couldn't control. Slade's involvement in her powers…how she got them. None of that.

Robin, unfortunately for Starfire, saw her tense and immediately knew something was wrong. "What's wrong?" He asked. She quickly hid her arms behind her. Robin knew something definitely was wrong because of her sudden action. But he couldn't' do anything unless she tells him but there is a sixty percent chance she wont.

"Nothing." Starfire quickly told him in response. Robin frowned that she didn't tell him and fortunately, for him Starfire didn't notice. Starfire looked down in disappointment. He's trying so hard to regain there relationship and she just avoids everything when she also wants to become Best Friends again. "Robin not to sound rude but can you leave?" Her voice was full of sadness.

Robin stared at her for a moment and eventually nodded. "Okay. Just take it easy." He said in a friendly way.

Starfire closed her eyes and tried to deal the pain she was feeling. "Don't worry I will." She said as she gritted her teeth in pain. Her right arm stung like crazy now and the pain from the battle wasn't helping.

Robin saw crimson liquid spilling on one of her pillows. He turned to look at Starfire who seemed not to notice. He observed as he tried to find the source of it and eventually notice that she was bleeding from a cut on her right arm. "Star?" Robin asked now completely worried.

Starfire looked up at him and faked a smile as if nothing was wrong with her. "Robin, may you please leave?" She tried to ask him nicely but she couldn't help but say it desperately.

He shook his head. Robin didn't want to leave knowing that she has a deep cut on her arm. "Star," He said firmly. "Let me help you." He reached over to help but the sound of her voice made him stop.

"No. Just leave."

"Starfire, you need my help now." He protested as he reached towards her again. She quickly moved away not wanting him to touch her. He looked up at her emerald eyes and saw her blink to and when they open, they were red.

"Damn it. Just go away!" She screamed in anger. Robin stared at her in disbelieve. That definitely was not Starfire. "Get away from me!" She formed a red starbolt and blew him to the other side of the room knocking him out consciousness. Starfire blinked and her eyes returned to there normal emerald color.

"What have I done?" She asked herself as she ran to him ignoring the pain she was feeling. She felt for his pulse and was thankful that she found one.

'You just don't let me finish him off don't you.' The voice said angrily in her head. Starfire ignored it. 'I would be doing you and Slade a favor by getting rid of him!' It yelled. Starfire all of a sudden felt herself getting dizzy.

"What's happening?" She questioned as she looked around. The room was spinning around like crazy. She closed her eyes and tried to deal with the pain. 'What are you doing?' Starfire asked as she put her hand her hand on her head as if would make the headache go away.

'I'm doing nothing. I guess…Slade is helping me out.' The voice replied with satisfaction.

"You don't know what you're doing…he's using you!" Starfire shouted the last part aloud and it seemed to shut her other side up. Starfire couldn't handle it anymore. Her body fell to the ground.

Seconds later…

The door slid open to reveal three titans staring in disbelieve. Raven looked at her two friends. Starfire was unconscious a few feet away from Robin were he was unconscious as well.

"Let's get them to the Medical Room." Cyborg said quickly as he ran to get Starfire and Robin. As soon as Cyborg ran back to the other Titans, with Robin and Starfire, Raven teleported them to the Medical Room. Kelsey quickly ran to get the things prepare for them. Cyborg laid Starfire in one bed near the window and Robin next to hers. Raven observed them as Cyborg put some wires on them. Starfire had some new form cuts that seem really deep and the same bruises from the battle earlier only it seemed to have gotten worse.

Robin had been hit in the chest really hard by something she couldn't figure out. He was slightly bleeding in his arm but it wasn't anything to severe.

"Can someone turn on the computer outside the room?" Cyborg asked quickly as he placed a few more wires on Starfire.

"I'll do it." Raven said quickly and ran out of the room starting the computer that would show them Robin and Starfire's current stats. She then walked back to the room and saw Kelsey cleaning Robins cut.

"Are they going to be alright?" Kelsey asked as she dabbed peroxide on some cotton balls and ran them over his arm.

"They should pull through." Cyborg told them as he left the room to monitor there status. Raven decided to use her magic on Starfire since her cuts are deep. She walked towards her and then sat on the floor Indian style. She looked up at her one time. 'What's happening to you?' Something exploded causing Kelsey to scream but she ignored it knowing that she did not get hurt. Raven closed her eyes and chanted her infamous words…

"Azerath Mentrion Zinthos "

------Flashback-----

"Leave them alone." Starfire growled as she gently landed a few feet away from the tall man. He looked towards the direction of her voice and smiled beneath his half orange/black mask.

"Why should I?" He asked as he looked at her. He saw her getting angry with him, which always amuses him. The 'innocent' girl of the Titans knows how the real life works now. The way she learned it was harsh but it amused him even more. He had thanked Robin one day for what he had done. If it weren't for him, he would have never known her true potential.

Slade watched her take a step forward and his index finger started reaching for a button on his gray belt. Starfire stopped dead in her tracks when his index finger was only few inches away from the button on his belt. "This matter is between you and me." She told him as she glared at him. She tried not to show any of her anger but she was failing miserably.

"Now, now, you don't want to lose control don't you?" He teased as she showed a bit of feared at the thought of her loosing control. "If you do I won't be the one hurting these people." Starfire looked at the people behind him. Innocent people that had no business in this predicament were being held against their will. A woman with her husband were tied up by something that seem like a rope, but knowing Slade, its something worse than that. "One press of this button and they will be electrocuted." Slade warned her. Starfire hated the fact that she was right. Those weren't just any ordinary ropes. He had to makes things even more difficult.

"Slade, what do you want?" She asked him as she looked upon the married couple who were knocked out unconscious.

"I had offer you this in the past once." He replied as his hands were folded behind him. His bodysuit gleaming at the light that the moon was giving off.

"Like I said in the past as well…no." She told him imitating his 'in the past' thing. Starfire didn't even need to see his face to tell that he was mad but Slade could always hide his emotions.

"Well in this case." Slade reached over to press the button on his belt and Starfire quickly blasted him with a starbolt making his hand retreat.

"Don't you dare." She warned as she walked closer to him with a starbolt ready to shoot. He didn't even bother to step backwards.

"You've got better at your aiming." He told her truthfully. Starfire stood just two feet away from him still not letting her guard down.

"Let. Them. Go." She told him as she took one-step closer.

Slade shook his head in disappointment. "Poor child, it seems that you do not know who has the upper hand. I'm the one in charge not you." Slade quickly reached to press the button and Starfire immediately blasted at the belt but far away from the button. The belt fell off, she quickly ran to get it, and as soon as she grabbed it, she went to get the 'ropes' of the couple.

"Just hold on." She told them as if they were on conscious. She was already done with the woman and all there was left was the man but then she heard Slade clapping. As soon as she released him, she turned around.

"Very good but you forgot that I'm always a stepped ahead." Something grabbed Starfire and pushed her to the wall nearby. Starfire blinked and saw that it was the two people she was suppose to rescue. Their eyes were glowing bright red and glared at her. Starfire glared at him and mentally cursing that she had fallen for one of his tricks. Slade pulled out some liquid that was on a small vile and then handed to the woman. The woman put it in front of Starfire's mouth trying to get her to drink it. She had her mouth closed not wanting to drink whatever it is. For all she knew that could be poison. The man punched in her in the stomach and caused her to gasp. The woman then saw her chance and made her drink the liquid.

Starfire coughed and saw the woman throw the empty vile aside. "What was that?" She asked.

Slade didn't answer her but walked towards them as the woman still was holding her tightly with one of her hands so she wouldn't escape. "My newest robots are useful." Slade told her as he stood next to the man robot. The man robots chest opened up and he pulled out a needle.

Starfire's eyes widen and struggled to get out. "What are you going to do?" She asked after her struggles ended. Slade grabbed the needle from the robot and took a step forward. Starfire tried to form her starbolts but they didn't form. She now figured out what that liquid was. Instead of having it as a needle like those robbers from the other day did, he had it in liquid form. 'Great now every criminal in Gotham can get rid off my powers.' She thought sarcastically as she tried to kick the woman robot off but the man robot held her legs back. He pressed the needle against her taut skin. She felt the tip biting into her arm. She flinched, trying to pull her arm away. She felt the pressure of the fluid as it entered her bloodstream. Slade finally withdrew the needle and it seemed as if was an eternity to her. The robots let go which caused her to fall to the floor. "You could be nice by not letting me fall." She told them as she looked up at them. Two of each person…she was getting dizzy.

"A new thing I've made. Now, unlike my previous apprentice, we would be connected…united as one." Slade told her as he gave the needle back to the man robot. Starfire knew he was referring to Terra. Beast Boy later told the Titans that Terra was being control by the uniform she was wearing.

"Better than those uniforms." Starfire said aloud. That was supposed to stay as a thought. Slade glared at her and kicked in her rib. She felt down the floor and gasped in pain. Starfire looked up at him and mentally cursed at him for what he did. Slade tried to kick her but this time she avoided it by rolling to the other side.

"That wasn't very nice now was it?" Slade told her as if she read his mind. Starfire eyes widen wondering how the hell he did that. "As I said before child, we are connected."

Starfire stood up, ignoring the fact that she felt dizzy, and try to lit a starbolt. "Get rid of whatever you put on me!" She growled. Slade smiled beneath his mask and she could tell. Too much anger. She closed her eyes for a second trying to calm herself down.

"I'm afraid that is impossible." Slade told her in usual voice. Starfire took a step towards him and he didn't even back away. His two robots, who have been silent for a while, took a step towards her. They got closer and held her back.

"Don't touch me." Starfire told them angrily as she freed herself from their grasp. They grabbed her again only harder and Starfire got mad now. "I said don't touch me!" She somehow blew them away as she swung her arm across them causing them to both fly away to the other side of the warehouse. Slade saw that the starbolt was red. This was good. She turned around and he met up with two red eyes that were staring angrily at him. "Get whatever the hell you put on me off now." She said in a voice that he didn't recognize. Not even her precious Robin would. Slade smiled at the idea.

"The hell with Robin." Starfire growled as she raised her arm and lit a red starbolt. Probably the medicine wore off already. It should have lasted for at least an hour but maybe a side effect of the other one. Slade didn't back away but was in deep shock. She had just read his mind. Slade saw her smiled evilly.

"You are not the girl." Slade stated as he observed her. She may be in her body but that was definitely not her.

"Yes I am, just not the part that she shows." She told him as she still had her red starbolt pointing at him. "Now get whatever you put on me off!" She yelled angrily.

"What do you think of my offer?" Slade asked ignoring her anger. "You could destroy what has cause you pain. You would not have to be 'happy' for anyone anymore." Slade told her as he tried to persuade her.

"That doesn't sound so bad." She admitted as she looked down at the floor. Slade beneath his mask smiled. He was getting to her…well one side of her. She let her starbolt fade away but then she started feeling some sharp pain.

"What is happening, child?" He asked as he saw her fall down to the ground groaning in pain.

"She's fighting back." She barely managed to say. Slade watch her trying to fight back her good side but then the fighting stop. She stood still not moving and he could he hear breathing. He expected that she won but when the girl stood up and immediately blasted him with an emerald starbolt.

"You have no right to do that." Starfire told him angrily as she saw Slade on the floor about ten feet away from her.

Slade stood up as if the starbolt he had been hit with was nothing. "Your other side seems to like my offer."

"It doesn't matter. I would never join you."

Slade shook his head in disappointment. "Only time would tell." Starfire saw him fading and was thankful. This seemed like an eternity to her. So far, this was the longest time Slade had ever been out from wherever his lair was. He finally faded away.

Starfire sighed. "Now I have to solve my other problem." Starfire started walking away from the same warehouse that she first lost control. She turned to look at it once more. "Myself." She sighed and got on her motorcycle that Bruce, or Batman, promised to get her for her missions.

----

Robin opened his eyes behind his mask. He looked around to find he was in the Medical Room. He let out an aggravated sigh but then felt some pain his chest and on his arm. Yeah, he remembered that he had been hit with a damn starbolt for trying to help. On his way down, he had been cut by something on his arm. 'Great.' He thought sarcastically. He looked around for a clock on the medical room and after a while of searching, he found one near a bed next to him. It read 10:53 pm. Robin looked around the room to find her in two beds away from him. The titans Medical Room seemed bigger to him for some reason. The doors slid open to reveal Cyborg, Kelsey, and Raven.

"Man, what happen?" Cyborg asked as he stood near his bed with a puzzled look upon his face, Raven stood next to him but stared at Starfire letting a small frown form, and as for Kelsey, she sat on the end of the bed staring at him making sure that he was all right.

"She blew me with a starbolt." Robin told them. All eyes turned to him. They all gave him confused faces wondering why she did that. He even didn't know.

Raven didn't say anything in response. She let her gaze fall upon Starfire again. That didn't sound like her at all. 'She would never do that…especially to him.' She thought as she looked at Robin trying to read his expression. Confusion. He was just as confuse as the rest of us.

"Don't worry we'll get an answer on why she did that to you." Kelsey reassured him as she gave him one of her smiles.

Robin didn't really pay any attention to what she said but gave her a weak smile. He was trying to figure out what made her do that to him. Trying to help her wasn't the reason. Starfire would never do that. They were actually talking like how they use to but then all of sudden she blows him away…why?

"You must have done something to be thrown to the other side of the room." Cyborg said stiffly.

Robin didn't' take it as an insult though. He knows that Cyborg was just being her older protective brother. "We were talking that's it but all of sudden she wanted me to get out of the room." Robin said in confusion. He hated not knowing what was wrong especially with his friends. 'Especially her…' A voice in his head said. He shook his head and continued with his story. "She told me to get out and I questioned her on 'why' because something didn't seem right. I saw that she had a cut and I told her that she needed my help but 'no' was her answer. She got angry and... I-I think I saw her eyes turn red but that was just my imagination…" Robin didn't need to say that but he felt like he needed to for some reason.

"You saw her eyes turned red?" Raven asked him now fully interested. Robin nodded not seeing where she was going but maybe they were on something. After that, she said nothing. Cyborg and Kelsey went into thought while Robin and Raven looked at Starfire as if they would see the answer written across her.

Silence settled.

'This means that I did see her.' She thought repeatedly in her head. Why didn't she see it before? Her imagination…ha! She should have known all a long but no, she ignored it. What a friend she is. "That wasn't your imagination." Raven told him breaking the silence and trying to get rid of her thoughts.

"What? You've seen her too?" Robin asked her immediately. Raven slowly nodded. It wasn't his imagination. Starfire can't do that though and… did this concern Slade? Robin let out an aggravated sigh. There are so many unanswered questions and he can't put the pieces together.

"How?" Cyborg questioned as he frowned at the thought. "How did you see her?"

"We were talking…she was crying and then I saw her eyes turned red for a moment but I thought it was just my imagination. I guess… I was wrong." She said the last part showing a tiny bit of sadness. Cyborg looked at her and could tell she was trying so hard to hide her emotions. Robin couldn't help but wonder on why she was crying. He knew what it was…it was because of him. Why doesn't she move on? She can't possibly love him. Robin closed his eyes behind his mask trying to get rid of the annoying thoughts. 'I thought I've gone through this already.' He angrily told himself.

"What does that mean?" Kelsey asked them as Cyborg walked towards the bed where Starfire was. Robin slowly shrugged, Raven didn't say anything in response, and Cyborg just stood there looking at Starfire.

"I don't know." Raven told them as she turned around and watched her. "But I know that something happened to her and she doesn't want to tell us." They all nodded in agreement.

"The problem is that she doesn't want to tell us." Kelsey told them.

Everyone turned their attention to the red head girl as they heard her voice. "Stop…" Starfire mumbled in her sleep. "I won't do it…" Raven walked towards her.

"She's having a nightmare." Robin said as he watched her. He wanted to get up and wake her up but he couldn't. Not cause he was hurt. He could move around with no problem but because something was holding him back. A side of him wanted to let Raven or Cyborg wake her up.

"Let's wake her up." Cyborg was about to wake her up but at the sound of Raven's voice he stopped.

"We could find out what's wrong." Raven told them. Just her chanting 'Azerath Mentrion Zinthos' and she can tap into her mind. This could helped them on what is going on with her.

Kelsey looked up at her and arched a brow. "Isn't that invasion of privacy?" She asked knowing full well that Raven shouldn't do that.

Robin stared at her and then at Starfire who seemed to calm down but kept mumbling things that he couldn't make out. "Raven, maybe we should let her tell us." Robin told her even though he wanted to know as well.

Cyborg nodded in agreement. "But she has become really stubborn." He said jokingly trying to lighten up the mood. Robin chuckled and Kelsey smiled.

"I can't believe I was thinking of doing that." Raven tried to say monotonously.

Robin and Cyborg didn't say anything since they couldn't think of a way to respond.

"You were just worried about her." Cyborg told her. "I would have the same idea if I had that power." He told her truthfully.

"Don't go…" Starfire's voice was full with sorrow. Everyone turned their attention to her and saw tears running down her face. She was crying in her sleep because of who knows what.

Robin didn't want to see her like this anymore. "We should wake her up." Robin told them. He was about to stand up and do it himself but Raven beat him to it and shook the girl so she could wake up.

"Starfire, wake up." She said gently as she shook her. Starfire didn't wake up but more tears were coming down her face. Robin gave her a worried look and Cyborg stood their worrying about her.

"Please don't go." She cried sadly. Raven touched her and all sorts of images went through her head. She yanked her hand away from her and blinked. She immediately turned her attention to Starfire who was still sleeping but not crying anymore. "Wake up don't listen to him." She told her as she shook her. "He's just trying to confuse you…don't listen to him." Cyborg, Kelsey, and Robin both knew that she had somehow tapped into her mind.

Starfire's emerald eyes slowly open. The first thing she saw was Robin having a worried expression. His mask was always there but somehow, she sensed great pain from him.

But why?

She asked herself. Kelsey had a confuse expression and stared at her cautiously.

Have she done something wrong?

Cyborg was staring at her with the most worried expression she had ever seen on him.

Why was everyone worried and sad?

Raven was staring at her with the most hurtful expression that she had when Beast Boy became the beast…so long ago.

Something happened but what?

She sat straight up and everyone's eyes were all on her. She hated this. Why can't they stop staring at her?

"Starfire?" Robin he called out gently. Starfire looked at him. Confused on why was he in the Medical Room. He was hurt for some reason but did it involve her. Maybe she missed something but then… why was she here? She snapped out of her thoughts as she heard her name being called out once again.

"Why am I here?" She asked them as she observed herself. She had a cut on her arm and bruises over her body. She didn't remember on how she had gotten them. "Did I do something wrong?" She looked at Robin for an answer and he shook his head meaning a 'no'.

"Starfire…tell me everything that Slade said to you over the year." Raven said getting straight to the point. Starfire eyes widen and looked at her. How did she know? Everyone's attention went to Raven wondering what Slade had to do with Starfire's problem. Robin had his suspicions but it still surprised him that she out of all people had a dark secret that she kept to herself for so long. "Don't make up an excuse. I accidentally tapped into your mind and you currently were thinking about your encounters with Slade."

"Encounters?" Robin questioned aloud. Raven didn't remove her gaze away from Starfire but nodded. "You mean she saw him besides the times she was with us?" Raven once again nodded. Cyborg's human eye widened in surprise.

Kelsey simply stared not knowing what to do. She was in a way surprise. Slade said he only talked to her about three times. He must had a reason to say that unless he was doing something that he didn't want to inform her off… yet.

"Why do you want to know?" Starfire countered back as she looked back at Raven. Raven was taken back at her sudden outburst but she quickly recovered. "It doesn't concern you or," She turned to look at everyone else, "any of you. Just leave me alone." She told them.

"Lil lady, we just wanna know what's wrong." He asked her as she tried to calm her down. "Just chill."

"I'm not mad it's just that you all should mind your own damn business." Starfire told them as she looked angrily at herself. He was right…she was mad and she needs to calm herself down. She forgot that they haven't heard her talk like that. She saw the same expression, Beast Boy had.

"Star, answer the question." Robin told her and she looked at him. She felt as if she was being treated as a criminal. For a moment, she thought back to how Beast Boy had felt when he became the beast. 'This is how he felt.' She said to herself. Betrayed. Confused. She needed to get away. Far away from them but how can she when she is stuck on the medical room.

"Raven, what did Slade say when you saw him in my mind?" She questioned 'innocently'. They believed she calmed herself down except for him. He can tell she was faking it. If she can see, she was making it then…why not on his girlfriend?

"Slade offering you to be his apprentice." Raven told her firmly. Not even trying to disguise her anger. "You said it wasn't a bad idea." She told her as she glared at Starfire. The lights flickered on and off not out of anger. Starfire knew her well enough to tell she was disguising whatever she was truly feeling with anger.

Starfire couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Raven couldn't be actually thinking that she would accept the idea. She looked at her direction and nodded. In response, everyone gasp. "The thing is," She hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to tell them about her loosing control but if she doesn't then they would think she's on Slade's side. "that wasn't exactly me." Starfire told them. Everyone stared at her. To her it looked like her as if they didn't believe her. "You have to be kidding." She said aloud as she looked around her. "You believe me right?" Starfire questioned them. They didn't say anything response. "Oh, for goodness sake. I thought you were my friends!" Cyborg, Raven, and Robin were hurt on her last comment but kept their steady looks. They can't hide what they are feeling from her.

'I can prove I'm right.' Starfire told herself as she felt all eyes glaring at her.

'But this shows that they do not trust you.' A voice in her head said. She knew who this was. Slade. As much as she hated him…he was right.

'It's all because of you.' She angrily told Slade. 'You made Raven watch the part where she said yes to your stupid offer.' She could tell that Slade was amused at her distress. She hated that man with every fiber of her being.

'She?' Slade questioned. 'Don't you mean you?' Starfire let out an aggravated sigh in response.

"Just because you saw that small portion you think I'm in his side?" She asked Raven as she turned to look at her.

"No because what we had found on your room." Raven told her monotonously obviously not sounding angry. Kelsey stood up and went outside from the room and then seconds later came out with a box. It was made out of rosewood and at the top it had a blood red 'S' engrave in it. It was broken and the top would come off at any moment. 'No point of having a lock on it.' Starfire thought as she saw Kelsey frowning at her. Starfire stared at her in confusion but a bit of anger. That was a box where she keeps her private stuff and she couldn't believe they looked through it.

"You look through my stuff?" Starfire asked them…well, more specifically Raven and Kelsey.

"When Robin hit the floor he fell on this and there were papers with the words 'Report' on it." Kelsey told her.

Robin immediately turned his attention away from the box and onto Starfire. He was confused, hurt, surprised, and mad. How can she do this to them? She couldn't be on his side. Not after what they all been through with Slade. She just couldn't. However, there is evidence that she is.

"That's not my stuff!" Starfire immediately shouted. Papers with the words 'Reports' on it? That was definitely not hers. On that box, she had things that are sacred to her. Pictures of her family and friends, jewelry passed down to her, and her diary.

"Y-You lied to us." Cyborg said in disbelieve. The girl he treated like a sister is backstabbing them by sending them their information to Slade behinds their backs. Just like Terra had done. "That's how Slade got into the tower." Cyborg stated dryly after he thought back to that day. "You went with Jake to the club so you wouldn't have to fight him." Everyone else thought back to that day and notice that it made perfect sense.

"No! I'm not in his side!" Starfire shouted at them. Her voice sounded determined as if it was not affected on their current situation but deep inside she felt like crying. They couldn't be doing this. In her head she could hear the laughter of him and her other side.

Robin felt pure anger towards Slade and Starfire. "You want us to find Terra so we can fall for some trap." Robin said monotonously but anger could be detected. He angrily stood up. "You wanted us to fuckin' take you to him." Robin shouted at her not even disguising his anger.

He had never used that kind of language against her. Starfire's eyes were stinging from the tears begging to come out. She hadn't cried for a long time now and she didn't want to start now. She stood up and looked at all of them angrily disguising all the pain she was feeling. "I can't believe I thought you were my friends." Starfire told them her voice full of sorrow. She apparently failed to sound mad. "My only true friend from this damn team was Beast Boy but the rest of you…just disgust me." Starfire let her gaze fall upon Kelsey and walked towards her. She was face to face with her. "Are you happy now?" She asked her. "You got everything you wanted not I think you should tell him that you succeeded on your mission." She growled. Kelsey gave her a What-Are-You-Talking look but knew that she was smirking.

Starfire angrily walked off towards room before the other Titans decided to take her to jail. She quickly packed her things, which wasn't a lot of stuff. She came across something that Mark had giving her a while back. 'Just press this little button anytime you need help.' His voice echoed in her head. I guess this was one those times. She pressed the button on a thing that was similar to the Titans communicator but it was black and red. She sat on the floor with a purple backpack over her shoulder. She thought back to what happened earlier. She sure was pissed off back there. For once, that was her true self showing anger. Her other side wasn't taking over her for once. The other side of her was probably dying of laughter right now.

Starfire's eyes quickly fell upon the door sensing someone was behind it. As in cue, someone started banging on the door. Muffled voices were heard but one she could make up clearly and that was Robin's.

'Open the door!' She thought she heard him say.

Then another voice shouted something clearly for her to understand. 'Don't make this harder than this is.' Cyborg told her.

The noises stopped and she immediately knew what they were going to do. Robin was going to type in the code to open the door. They tried to reason by letting her surrendering but she would never. Starfire wasn't going to surrender to them because they think she was with Slade's side. No, she would never do that. She felt a tear running down her skin. She wiped the tear away but they seemed to keep coming. She quietly sobbed knowing any moment that they would be here.

She heard the door slid open and she looked at their faces. Anger. That's all she saw in them. Maybe the felt something else but she couldn't tell and knew that anger was what they felt the most.

"Starfire." Raven told her monotonously. She took a step towards her.

Starfire stood up and looked at them angrily. "I told you I didn't tell Slade anything." Starfire told her as she stepped backwards seeing the other Titans getting closer.

Robin felt deeply hurt. Seeing her like this was the worst he can imagine. His heart felt like it had been stepped on repeatedly. "Starfire, tell us what he's planning." He was hurt but anger took over him. He was angry with Slade for manipulating Starfire into his side. Angry that Starfire was planning something with Slade. Angry that Starfire only came back to fool the Titans.

"I don't know what he's planning." Starfire told him angrily. She glared at him. Robin saw that tears were freely falling down her face and felt a struck of pain.

Something black and red shimmered in and everyone paid attention to it. Red X.

Red X looked at the girl standing behind him and frowned. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying. He hated when people hurt his friends. Red X angrily turned his attention to the people who caused it. The Titans. "What the hell did y'all do to her?" He angrily asked them.

The Titans went into battle stance and glared at him. "What are you doing here X?" Cyborg asked him as he aimed his sonic cannon at him. Robin glared at him but didn't fail to notice that Red X was mad at them because of Starfire.

"X let's just go." Starfire quietly told him as she held him back. They made him mad and when he's mad, he had to take it out on the person who caused it. Red X held her hand and pressed the button on his belt to teleport them out of there.

Cyborg got rid of his sonic cannon. He could of shoot Red X but he would have hurt Starfire as well. Even though he thought she worked for Slade. He can never hurt her. Same thing went with everyone else….

-----

Beast Boy was on the couch eating popcorn and watching TV. Some show called 'My Wife and Kids' was playing. In the corner of his eyes, he saw something red, black, and purple shimmering. He quickly stood up and went into battle stance.

"Red X." Beast Boy spat. He was confused on how he found him on his new home but of course, he didn't show it. His eyes went to someone who was standing next to him…"Starfire?" He questioned in disbelieve. Red X let go of her hand and she ran up to Beast Boy and gave him a tight hug.

"B-Beast B-Boy." Starfire's voice was breaking. She let go and quickly noticed that she looked like she had been crying. "T-They th-think I work for S-Slade." She sat on his couch trying to hold back the tears. So far, she was doing great. She didn't want to cry anymore.

Beast Boy reassured her. "Don't worry Star. It's gonna be OK." He quickly let his eyes fall upon Red X who stood watching the two ex-Titans. "What do you want?" Beast Boy angrily asked him.

"Be—" Starfire was cut off by Red X.

Red X stared at Beast Boy and let out an aggravated sigh. "Gar, it's me…" Red X took off his mask and it revealed to be…"Mark." Beast Boy's eyes widen in disbelieve.

"But—That—I thought—Starfire why are you friends with him?" Beast Boy asked her. Not angrily. Starfire frowned.

"He had helped me during the year I was gone." Starfire told him, as her frown grew deeper. 'I'm loosing all my friends.' She thought as she imagined Beast Boy screaming at her.

Beast Boy turned his attention to Mark. "You didn't hurt my best friend right? Or use her?" Beast Boy questioned Mark.

Mark shook his head meaning a 'no'. "Nah, I would never betray a friend. I beat the crap out of anyone who harms them though." Beast Boy chuckled. He held out his hand once again. Mark shook his hand.

"I'll keep it a secret but don't think I'm not gonna stop you if you start stealing." Beast Boywarnedhim as they stopped shaking each others hands.

Mark laughed at him. "That's if you can stop me."

Starfire half-heartedly smiled. The pain from earlier couldn't be ignored and she felt like crying. "Beast Boy, may I sleep in your bed for a while?" Starfire asked him. Beast Boy nodded and pointed where it was. Starfire stood up and went to his room to lie down.

Beast Boy looked back to Mark. "Dude, what happened?" He asked him.

Mark was angry as he remembered the looks that the Titans had. "The dumb Titans…no offence… apparently believe she works with Slade ."

"Man, that's gotta be hard for her." Beast Boy told him truthfully. "C'mon, Starfire working with Slade? That's just damn low thinking." Mark nodded in agreement. Beast Boy turned attention to his show and it was showing the credits.

"What are you gonna do?" Mark asked him as he put on his mask again.

Beast Boy watched him. Thinking that he was friends with Red X. Impossible, but Starfire made it possible by making him see the real him. "For sure, I'm going to track down Slade and get some answers." Mark nodded in agreement and said 'See ya'. He teleported out and Beast Boy sat on his couch and stared at the ceiling. "I can't believe they would do that to her…" He closed his eyes and mentally cursed at the Titans for actually believing something so stupid. "Friends who don't even trust one of their own."

Yep, thats it.

Oh yeah, if your confuse on why they suddenly turned on her. It will be explain on the next chapter. I got that far planned. In some flashback or they talking about it.

Okay may not seemed RobxStar now for sure but don't worry..it will. I just gotta bring them close to each other. Anyways, Beast Boy is still a part of the story! Don't worry, I love him to much to get rid off him!
