Terra seemed a little uneven the next few days, quivering with anger every time she saw Billy, Jessica, or Bonny.
"I wish I could slap one of them!" Terra said.
"We can't do anything Terra," Dick whispered. "We have got along with them for so long people would be suspicious if we did do anything."
Terra glared at Dick, her lip twitching.
"Geez Terra you need to lighten up!" Raven said.
"No Raven!" Terra said. "These are the fucking bad guys and they know who we are!"
"No Terra, Raven is right," Star said. "People are looking at us weirdly."
The next week they were standing in a hallway lined with lockers. Raven had finally managed to get them off the topic of Billy, Jessica, and Bonny.
"So did any of you do the math?" Raven asked.
"Yeah like I ever do my homework," Terra said with a smile.
"Okay granted," Raven said and turned to Star. "Did you?"
"Yes but I couldn't get the answer to 2-b," Star said.
"Damn it that was the question I didn't get either," Raven said.
"At least you got some of it," Dick said with a shrug.
"Uh—can I—hey guys can I-"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Terra demanded.
Raven looked up to see Terra pushing Jessica up against a locker, holding her off the ground.
"Hey Terra get off of her!" Raven said trying to get between them.
Terra wouldn't listen. She raised her hand and punched Jessica. Jessica winced. Raven grabbed Terra's arm to hold her back from another punch. People all around them were staring at this.
"Star give me a hand with her," Raven said.
Star rushed forward and tried to open Terra's vice grip. Some people left to get a vice principal—the school had two—while others were chanting "fight!" Dick stood just behind Raven trying to talk Terra into releasing her grip on Jessica's collar.
"I asked you what you wanted you whore!" Terra said ripping her arm free of Raven and punching Jessica again.
This time Terra drew tears. The vice principal finally came forward and managed to brake up the fight. Terra, Star, Raven, and Jessica had to go to the office and all but Jessica were suspended; Star and Raven for a week and Terra for two.
"Thanks a lot Terra," Raven said.
"Hey that bitch should know she's not supposed to be talking to us," Terra said, "I found it a little suspicious she was."
"Maybe she wanted to switch sides," Dick said, "or give her self up."
"The bad guys never switch sides," Terra said, "haven't you seen any bond films or read any comic books in your life? Heck you're the super hero."
"Can you not say these things out loud?" Star said. "Stop bad mouthing my boyfriend."
Raven stopped walking. Had she just heard Star properly? Did Star just hear herself properly? She must have because about two seconds later Star stop walking her self. Then Dick relised it and also stopped. Terra finally noticed that her friends were no longer with her and turned around to see what happened. Raven turned around and started to walk home—their original target being the mall.
"Raven stop," Star said, "I'm sorry, it just came out."
Star rushed to catch up with Raven.
"And that makes it any better?" Raven asked. "Because 'it just came out?'"
"I didn't really mean it," Star said.
"Well how could it have 'just come out' if you didn't still want to be his girlfriend?"
"No Raven I didn't mean it trust me."
"No Star," Raven said her voice dripping with ice, "go make out with him instead."
Star felt her heart cleave in two. She allowed two tears to roll down her cheek.
Raven ran now that she was out of sight. Her tears were now blurring her vision and she was sobbing. She got into her house, fumbling with the key and lock—her parents still at work—and plopped herself face down on her bed.
"Star its okay," Terra said sitting beside Star who was sobbing, face in her hands.
They were sitting together in the park across the street from the mall. Dick had left five minutes ago and Star hadn't stopped crying since Raven left.
"There's ice cream in the mall," Terra said in a sing song voice.
"You didn't shred one tear when you found out your boyfriend was the enemy," Star said. "Why have you become so heartless lately?"
Star looked up at Terra.
"Seriously why?"
"Star what are you saying?" Terra asked. "My boyfriend was a jackass; my boyfriend is the bad guy we're fighting!"
"See even you think of him as your boyfriend still," Star said.
"But—I-"
"Trust me Terra you're a cold heartless human," Star said, "the way you were beating on Jessica. You were practically smiling for Christ sake! I don't know if I ever saw you that happy before in your life!"
Terra looked at Star hurt. She attempted a smile. "Come on Star you don't mean this right? You're just hurting inside."
Terra made an attempt to put a supportive arm around Star's shoulders. Star shrugged her off.
"Get the hell of me," Star said. "I'm going home."
"Don't worry Jess," Billy said cleaning up some blood that had dribbled from her mouth, "we'll get those bastards for this."
Don't hurt them, Jessica thought but couldn't manage to say. It's just Terra.
"Yes I really would like to crush Raven," Bonny said with a smile.
Bonny chewed her gum and offered a piece to Billy who shook his head. Jessica held out her hand and received a piece.
"But what about Gary?" Jessica asked. "He wasn't involved in it."
"Yes but he's the enemy," Billy said, "he's in our way."
"Did you ever think that maybe we're the enemy?" Jessica asked.
"No we're just doing what's right for us," Bonny said. "Don't ever let master Slade hear you say that."
Jessica nodded. "Yeah you're right. I'm wrong."
Billy smiled. "Excellent! I'll take that gum now."
"Are you kidding me?" Bonny said. "I'm not getting it out again."
Dick took a gulp from his glass of ginger ale, bringing tears to his eyes.
What was with that comment, he thought. Did Star really mean that? Naw she's with Raven now. Although if she did…
Dick continued to ponder this for the rest of the after noon.
Terra sat, alone now, in the park. Some people playing football had stopped to see what the yelling was about. And the scary thing was that Terra actually couldn't feel herself being sad about one of her best friends being so pissed off at her. What scared her more was that she was actually kind of angry at Star.
But she isn't right about me! Terra thought.
She got up and started walking home.
No she's completely right. I'm a cold heartless bastard. When I get my hands on Billy I'm gonna kill him for making me this way.
Gary had just finished his regeneration cycle. A he got up he did a self diagnostic and noticed that the left knee was malfunctioning.
"Dad!" Gary called. "I need some help fixing a part.'
Gary could do it him self but he wasn't a hundred percent sure with what he was doing when it came down to this technology, and since it was there to let him move he didn't want to risk anything.
"Dad? Where are you?" He should have responded by now.
Gary turned on infrared scanners and scanned the house. There was nothing warm enough to be a human. Gary swore. His dad would have told him if he was going some where. None the less Gary picked up the phone and called his dad's cell. No answer. He waited half an hour and his dad didn't call back. He didn't like the looks of this.
Raven looked at the clock, wiping tears from her eyes. She wasn't even sure why the little comment had set her off like it did but, here she was. It was 4:00 PM, her mom should be returning from work soon. Raven went to wash off the tiny bit of raccoon eyes she had—not much of a make up wearer—and calmed her self down. She didn't really want her mom asking about any of this.
She waited.
And she waited.
And she waited.
And she waited.
And she grew tired of waiting and looked at the clock in worry. It was 5:00 PM now, her dad should be getting ready to come home but her mom should be cooking dinner. She decided to call her dad and ask if he knew where her mother was.
No answer.
Her dad was a stay at home dad—and a great cook—and her mom had the day off. But Star couldn't find either of them. Nor could she find Bonny.
Oh well maybe their having a nice day together. Star thought. At least some one is.
But Star waited until 8:00 PM. No one came home. Starfire shivered.
She picked up the phone and called Dick.
"Hello this is the Wayne manor," said a voice she recognized as the butler, "this is Alfred speaking."
"Can I talk to Dick please?" Star asked.
"Hello," Dick said picking up the phone ten seconds later.
"Dick I can't find my parents. They haven't been home since I got home and that was at three-thirty. I'm starting to get worried."
"Yeah Gary just called me. He couldn't get his dad's cell. And Raven's having similar troubles."
"What about Terra?"
"No word from her."
Terra had been home for hours now. Where could her parents be? But she wasn't scared, she was sad. She liked this.
How cold blooded am I?
She buried her face in her arms. She didn't seem to be able to bring herself to cry.
What the hell is wrong with me?
The phone rang.
"Hello?" Terra said picking the cordless phone up.
"Terra are your parents home?" Star asked without saying hi back.
"No," Terra replied, "why?"
"Oh shit," Star said, "oh shit, oh shit."
"Mind filling me in on your little secret Star?"
"Every one's parents are missing!"
"God damn it, I told you that Jessica was no good."
"Yes well we'll never correct you again," Star said sarcastically. "We all need to get to Dick's house. He's sent his butler Alfred to pick us up; you should be second last of the people to get picked up. Gotta go."
Star hung up then. Terra gave the phone a strange look before hanging it up. She sat and waited.
Slade smiled—something more then rare to him.
"It's finished!" He proclaimed to his underlings. "Good work. And you have these vigilantes' parents?"
"Yes master," Billy said.
"Good. Now…"
Jessica stopped listening to Slade. She wasn't sure any more. She saw Gary's father and her heart practically stopped. How could she do this to the one she loved, not only that but to her friends.
"Now go my apprentices. Finish my work."
Yee haw! An ending that may be obvious to you but if it isn't then it will BLOW YOUR MIND... ok so maybe not that great but I like it. It shouldbe up in withintwo weeks
