During the ride back to the Titans Tower silence had reigned in the T-Jet. Once back to the tower, though, chaos emerged.

"How could you order us to leave Starfire with that madman?" Cyborg was yelling at Robin to start the conversation.

Even Beastboy was upset "I can't believe we left Star behind."

Raven, though silent, had been making her anger evident. Cyborg and Beastboy yelling at Robin was making enough noise for her.

Robin was taking their yelling with displeasure, he was obviously angry about the situation also, but had not had a chance to explain himself yet. He tried to calm his friends. "Guys calm down"

Cyborg "Calm? How can you be calm? Starfire is working for Slade now, and you told us to leave her there."

Beastboy's voice rose up: "She didn't want to be there, that much was obvious. She didn't even use her starbolts against us. Why did we just leave her there?"

Robin: "I'm sure she has a reason for staying with him. She will be ok"

Cyborg "You're right she'll be ok. I'm going to grab some weapons, get in the T-Jet and go back right now…"

Beastboy "Yeah, I'm with you, I am sure we can take them by surprise and get past Starfire this time. Once we have Slade…"

Robin cut in "We forced that conflict. All she had wanted was for us to leave. She didn't want to fight us."

Cyborg was continuing: "I have some untested weapons that are suited for this, we can hit them hard and fast."

Beastboy "Give me some big guns, I can carry a lot as a gorilla…"

Raven, though silent, was listening to their plan about to join them while Cyborg nodded at her saying "If Robin doesn't want us to free Starfire we will do it without him.."

Robin's yell finally silenced them "TITANS" he yelled "WHERE DOES STARFIRE GET HER POWER?"

Cyborg replied what they all knew "from her emotions" realization starting to dawn on him.

Raven finally spoke, though softly. "She must have been a raging storm of emotion."

Beastboy mumbled "She couldn't lose."

Robin: "and Slade knew it. We had no choice but to leave." He started walking toward the stairwell that leads off the roof "come on guys. We need to get ready. We have to stop him before they leave."

Beastboy: "Leave? Where are they going? And how would we know?"

Robin: "If you had Starfire as an apprentice, what would you do?"

Beastboy: "umm.. take over the city? She did just kick our butts.."

Raven cut him off "I'd go to Tamaran"

Cyborg finished her sentence "So I could rule it"

The picture of Slade leading a vast army of Tamaranians against the Earth flashed in their heads. The Titans were no longer just trying to save their friend, but the Earth as well.

Robin: "We also need to find out what Slade is holding over Starfire. I think it has something to do with her sister, which is why she was wearing her shirt."

Raven: "I think I know where to look for those answers"

Robin: "Good, that may be our only chance of getting Starfire back, but Cyborg, we need to work out a plan to disable whatever ship Slade makes just in case. Keep in mind it's a long trip to Tamaran and Starfire will survive if their ship is compromised, but Slade wont"

Cyborg knew the gravity of the situation "Yeah, I can make some weapons for just that sort of thing."

Beastboy: "I can help Cyborg. Lifting heavy objects is my forte, along with connecting wires in tight spaces"

Cyborg: "yeah, that sounds helpful, as long as you don't put anymore viruses in my mainframe!" this made Beastboy blush and scratch his head

Beastboy grinned: "That was an accident, heh." But he got serious again " But, do you think Starfire would really let Slade control Tamaran?"

Robin replied sounding worried "No, I don't think she will. And that worries me the most."
