Chapter 10: Loathsome Lover

"Blackfire!" Starfire shouts in fury. She looks around. "Do no worry, Phantom, I will deal with her!"

Danny looks concerned. He doesn't like seeing Starfire upset like this. But before he could say anything, a purple energy bolt knocks Starfire down to the ground.

"Starfire!" He calls out.

Before Danny could do anything after he landed, another figure appeared in front of him. This figure was a Tamaranian, just like Starfire, only somewhat taller. Starfire was already slightly taller than Danny, so this girl was taller. She also had a hair style similar to Starfire, only it was black instead of her rose-like red. Her outfit looked like Starfire's as well, only black in place of purple. She also showed no skin beneath the head, safe for her hands. There was silver armor covering those areas.

She then walked to her sister with her starbolts ready to fire. Suddenly, a ghost ray hits her in the back, knocking her down.

Getting up, Blackfire's violet eyes brighten furiously. "Who struck me?!"

"I did!" Danny calls out, with his eyes glowing and his fists brighten.

Blackfire's glare ends as she sees Danny and she gasps.

"A male Tamaranian?!" She smiles. "Where did she find you?"

"Doesn't matter." Danny says as Blackfire walks to him. "All you need to know is that I don't like bullies. I saw what you did and I know what you're trying to do." At this point, Blackfire reaches Danny and, with her hand at her chin, she starts eyeing up and down at Danny repeatedly. "How could you do that to your own sister?! There is no way what you did was okay, and I'm not gonna-" Danny stops when he notices what Blackfire is doing. His eyes stop glowing and he lowers his now non-glowing fists. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He notices now her face is very similar to Starfire's. She had violet eyes, but they aren't the entire eye color like with her sister. She had a more human skin-tone compared to Starfire's more orange-tan look.

"What's your name, cutie?" She asks.

Danny shutters. Starfire might be suffocating, but she's at least a nice person when he's not bent on getting Danny in her arms. This Blackfire feels… wrong. So much wrong.

"Stay away from Phantom!" Starfire, who is still in a weakened state on the ground, shouts while trying to get up.

"Stay down, little sis!" Blackfire barks before resuming her more flirty tone towards Danny. "Phantom, eh? Sounds so simple that it's simply… nice." She comes in closer and strokes a finger on his face.

Danny flinches and slaps her hand out of the way.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in bullies. So, I'm going to take Starfire home." Danny tries to walk to Starfire, but Blackfire grabs his arm and pulls him in. "Whoa! No! Stop that!" Danny yells as he pulls his arm back.

Blackfire giggles. It isn't the cute giggle Starfire has, but something more possessive towards him.

"Someone's a little shy."

"I'm not shy! I'm not a Ta-" Danny looks to Starfire quickly, who is worried for her darling's sake. He's worried about her reaction to him not being a Tamaranian so he quickly changes his wording. "I'm not interested!" He says when he looks back at Blackfire.

"So, you're with my sister?"

"Yes!" Danny widens his eyes. "I mean no! I mean…" Danny rubs the back of his head and blushes. He gets serious. "Look, I just don't like how you pick on her!" Blackfire giggles and walks up to him, caressing his chest. "So don-" Danny is startled and grabs her arms. "Stop that! Go away!"

Blackfire does her creepy giggle again. "Has she kissed you?"

"Why do you care?"

"Let me show you how much better I am than my sister."

She closes her eyes and kisses him. This reaction causes a shudder to go through Danny's body and his widen from the shock. Once the kiss ends, Danny makes disgusted noises as he wipes his mouth with his arm.

Blackfire is undaunted and brings her face into his. Danny notices and is not flattered at all.

"Go away!" He demands as he pushes her a bit.

"Ooh, tough guy?" Blackfire playfully quips as she pushes Danny harder and into a tree. She giggles. "I like you."

Danny whispers to himself. "Suddenly, Starfire chasing me across two cities isn't as stressful." He gets off the tree. "Get lost!" He shouts at Blackfire.

"Playing hard to get?" She says playfully. Then her eyes glow. "I like it… too bad I always get what I want!" Her grin becomes both possessive and malicious. "Just so you know, I play rough!"

Gritting his teeth, Danny flies to Blackfire, throwing a punch. She catches it without issue and punches him in the stomach. After that, Blackfire slams Danny into the ground. He gets up.

"Not done yet!" Danny says as he fires a blast at her.

"Oof!" Blackfire lands into a tree. This doesn't make her drop her smile, instead she looks even more into him. "Nice shot… I've been thinking of finding someone to take on my side." She starts flying to him.

"What?!" Danny questions.

"I was banished from our homeworld. Just because I took over Tamaran for kicks, that meant after Starfire defeated me, everyone kicked me off." She huffs. "It was all her fault!" She regains her smile. "I've been interested in having another Tamaranian join me in my plan to reclaim the throne, preferably a male, so I can provide an heir to have under my wing. But I don't want anyone, just someone strong… and cute would be nice too." She says as she makes bedroom eyes to Danny. "You're not as tough as I hope, but I can tell you're stronger than you look… and you look very cute." She comes face-to-face, literally, to Danny. "So, you'll do."

"Tempting…" Danny says sarcastically. "I'm going to have to decline."

Blackfire puts her hands on his face. "What makes you think you have a say? Besides… I'm way better than my little waste of a sister."

Danny's eyes glow as he pushes Blackfire away.

"Don't! Don't ever say that! That's your sister! My older sister and I don't always get along, but we still care for each other. How could you say stuff like that about your own flesh and blood?!"

Blackfire scoffs. "You're going to be fun to play with." Blackfire then sucker punches Danny, knocking him back. "I don't mind bruising that cute face of yours."

"Too bad I mind bruising you!" Danny shouts as he gets up and throws another punch.

Blackfire catches it with ease, then crushes his fist in her hand. Despite the pain, Danny sucker punches her. She lets go of his hand, letting him rub it to soothe it.

Blackfire cups her chin and smiles. "You are strong. I so want you." Blackfire's eyes glow and the two begin their fist fight.

Despite Blackfire's clearly superior strength, Danny does manage to cause some pain with a few punches that make contact. Blackfire realizes Danny is more durable than she thought, as he's still standing despite the pain.

Danny then fires with both hands together in her belly. It launches her away.

"Just stop this fight and leave, Blackfire!" Danny shouts.

Blackfire grins and flies towards him.

"Oh, we're going to do so much more than fight!"

She rams into him, knocking him through the trees, breaking several of them. This whole time, she has a sadistically playful laugh as he's grunting in pain. Once it's done, she throws him upward, then flies into his back and flies higher.

Danny finally has a chance to react and manages to roll off. He then throws a punch that she doesn't have to time react to. With her off guard, Danny throws more punches that make their way to her. After the fifth punch, Blackfire's face gives a wicked smirk.

My energy is making her emotions stronger. Her emotions are clearly not good.

"Had enough?" Danny asks, hoping to end the fight.

"I had enough of you rejecting me… but not of the rush!" Blackfire declares as she grabs Danny by the collar and punches him with enough force that he loses focus of his flight and starts to descend. Blackfire then tackles him as they head downward. "I'm not gonna stop until you're mine, whether you want it or not. And after that… we'll, you get the idea."

The two then fall into the ground, making a small crater.

Once Danny opens his eyes, he sees Blackfire sitting on his stomach, with her hands on his chest and her legs to his sides.

"What… what are you doing now?"

Blackfire responds by grabbing his wrists and holding them up. Her legs then slide downwards, her feet now her knees.

"We're gonna have ourselves a little make out session. I'm not satisfied with just one kiss." She says.

Danny manages to free his right hand gives Blackfire a hook to the face. "I don't want this! I don't want you!"

Blackfire, in response, elbows him in the neck to pin him down.

She starts to yell angrily. "I don't care whether you want this or not! I want this!" She then smiles. "And besides…" She grabs his free hand and then lowers both to his sides. "I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy this even more than me!"

Blackfire puckers up and tries to kiss him. Danny, in response, grits his teeth and moves his face away.

Suddenly, before her lips can reach his, Blackfire gasps as something pulls her away from Danny. Looking up, Danny sees a certain alien girl in orange, pulling her big sister by the hair, with a look of fury.

"Get away from my Phantom!"

"Starfire!" Danny shouts in relief and smiles.

Starfire quickly looks to him playfully. "Hello dear. Please wait, for my sister and I have something to discuss." She looks to her sister and regains her fury. "You are not to attempt the actions of affection on him!"

"How dare you!" Blackfire shouts as she pulls her hair out and faces Starfire. "I am your sister!"

"You are also not a nice sister!" Starfire declares as the two begin throwing punches.

Danny, despite how terrifying these two are, can't help but stare. He's of course, rooting for Starfire. She's nowhere near as violent as Blackfire. He smiles when she lands a few blows. However, Blackfire sucker punches her little sister, landing her on the ground.

"You should've just stayed with your little Titan friends, Starfire. Then again, I'll be coming for them too!" She says as she charges a blast.

She's unable to fire it as Danny hits her with an ectoplasmic ray.

"Get away from her!" Danny shouts.

Starfire looks to him and smiles.

"Thank you!" She then gets up and flies towards Blackfire.

Blackfire is getting up when Starfire starts firing a barrage of blasts that knocks her off guard. Then, Starfire throws one punch to Blackfire that knocks her into a tree.

Danny stares.

Did she win?

Blackfire gets up, looking ready to keep fighting. Instead, she falls to her knees, then hits the ground facedown.

Danny lets out a breath in relief and sits on the ground.

"And stay down!" Starfire shouts to her sister with her eyes aglow. She then turns to see Danny, now her glow fades and a warm smile comes to her face. She then runs to him and jumps on top of him before he has time to notice her. "Phantom!" She shouts as she wraps her arms around him in a hug.

"Ack!" Danny yelps as her hug hurts him. "Starfire!" He whimpers.

"Oh!" Starfire loosens her grip. "Forgive me, my darling!"

She looks up and into his eyes. She then started to nuzzle in his cheek again.

Despite the pain he's in and how tired he is of aliens being into him, he can't help but smile. Starfire is still a genuinely nice girl despite her obsessiveness around him.

He then puts and arm around her back in a light hug back.

This caught her attention, she looks up in surprise at his smiling face. She then smiles again.

The two begin to close their eyes and start moving their faces closer together.

Suddenly, a powder comes out and it causes Starfire to fall asleep.

"Huh?" Danny asks as Starfire sleeps on his chest.

"Sorry, Great One." Frostbite's voice says. Turning back, Danny sees his icy friend behind him. "After my nap, I decided to make a sleeping powder from fresh ingredients in the area. I decided to test it out on your new girlfriend in case her sister…" He looks to see the unconscious Blackfire away. "Oh, never mind."

"You sure took your time!" Danny says in a slightly annoyed tone. He then points to Starfire. "Also, not my girlfriend."

"Well, I suppose we should return these two to their home." Frostbite says as he walks to Blackfire.

"Yeah…" Danny says, looking a bit reluctant as he looks to the sleeping alien girl on his chest.

She'll be home and never bother me again… I'll never see her again. That's good… right?

Frostbite comes back in, carrying Blackfire over his shoulder, he then pulls out the Infi-Map.

"Take us to the portal to their world."

It looks Danny has another admirer alien... the awful and abhorrent kind.

And Danny is feeling upset at the idea of never seeing Starfire again. Will this lead to him losing whatever discomfort he has around her?
