Sorry guys,

This is most likely one of the last chapters to this fic, I was gonna make it longer and have her go out with Red X in his human form or whatever but I guess that's not gonna happen so let's just call this a short fanfic. But I have started another fic to replaced this one already, and I'm very excited I hope you guys will like it. But I won't post until I finish this one, unless I get too eager LoL

"She's gone!" Robin said louder as he ran into her room and searched through everything.

"Robin calm down." Said Raven as Cyborg and Beast Boy walked into the room.

"There's nothing here." Commented Cyborg, looking around.

"We're wasting time, they're getting away!" Robin yelled as he left the room.

The others followed and met up with him in the Main room, Robin was pressing buttons like crazy as the others stared at him.

"Does he even know what he's doing?" Said Beast Boy, not wasting time in whispering.

Robin visibly stiffened.

"Don't say anything." Advised Cyborg slowly.

"Robin, you freaking out isn't going to help us find her. Control yourself." Raven tried to soothe him and ignoring Cyborg's advice.

Robin let out a small growl, she was right, but why wasn't she ever wrong? "What are you doing just standing there?" He said angrily and he passed by them.

"Titans Go!" He pointed and his voice practically chased them out of the Tower.

The three settled into the T-car.

"Split up, find her and take him down." He ordered over the Titans communicator as he put his helmet on and started his R-cycle.

"This is beginning to sound familiar." Said Beast Boy.

"Well, I have to say this is all new to me." Cyborg tried his hand at sarcasm.

"Really? Wasn't it just the other day-"

"Shut up Beast Boy." Raven silenced him and they moved on.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

She woke up to complete and total darkness.

The ground under her was cold and hard, since she couldn't see she tried hearing but there was nothing around her that made the slightest noise. Except for a low hum that was coming from a vent somewhere in the room, or wherever she was.

Her hands felt through the darkness, the ground was waxy but not slippery, more like it was coated with plastic. She felt dizzy but with her being in the darkness there was nothing to spin around her. She sat down indian style and kept feeling, it wasn't until she felt that the ground and the wall were connected in a circular motion that she started panicking.

She was in a ball. She stood up and reached for the ceiling, it was barely a foot taller than she was. The width of the ball was wider then her arms when she stretched them out but she still felt like she was in major trouble.

What happened? How did I get here? She wondered.

She paced as far as the cramped space allowed her to as she tried to remember what had happened.

When Robin left Starfire was sad, he was probably mad at her. Most likely because she wanted to follow Speedy and he hadn't wanted her to. But she hadn't, so why was he mad? She went over to her window and looked out at the city it looked beautiful from way up here but she felt something. She turned around and no one was there but she knew she felt it. What was it? She turned back to the window.

Just then, the Titans alarm went off and she ran for the door but she didn't make it because someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth, she tried to scream but the white cloth muffled her crys and made her dizzy.

And then her world went black.

Now she remembered it clearly. Speedy getting mad, what her and Robin did, then Robin also getting mad. She felt tears sting at her eyes but she pushed them back, this was no time for crying. Robin and the others were surely out there looking for her right now. She just had to have faith in them like she had before.

The floor started rumbling and she lost her balance, she fell on her butt with her hands on either side. She looked up and saw that the floor was rising, she was underground. Before she had a chance to think it over she started shooting starbolts everywhere, kicking and growling at the very resilient bubble in which she was contained.

"Woah there Cutie, take it easy." He said once he saw her trying to escape. "Besides it won't do you any good. I borrowed this place from someone very reliable."

"Red X!" She exclaimed once her eyes accustomed to the brightness and she saw him standing in front of her. Now that she was in the light she took a glance at her prison, an orange globe set atop a base. Like she were some sort of trophy, and then she realized, she had been in one of these before...then she looked around the room and she was sure she knew where she was.

"You were expecting someone else?" His voice held the motion of a raised eyebrow when he asked.

She looked back at him with a frown.

"Why am I here?" She stated, it was more of a command than a question.

"Isn't it obvious? You Titans played me for a fool back there."

"I...do not understand." Starfire's voice softened.

He chuckled a little as he walked straight up to her "The money Princess."

"You are holding me captive for the money?" Starfire didn't think anyone would keep someone as hostage for money.

"What, did you have something else in mind?" Red X was dangerously close to her bubble.

Her brows furrowed "No, I simply cannot fathom someone as you kidnapping a living being for money." She said, fully understanding what he meant about his last statement.

"Someone like me? What is that supposed to mean?" Red X questioned, suddenly curious and wanting to know what she thought of him.

"Nothing." Starfire crossed her arms and pretended like there were other things on her mind.

"Fine, be that way." Red X pressed a button and Starfire found herself slowly sinking.

"Wait." Starfire said when she saw him getting ready to leave "Where are you going?" Her hands subconsciously clung to the walls of the bubble as he fixed his gloves and put his belt on.

"Where else Cutie, to go say hi to your little friends." Then he was out the door and Starfire was consumed in darkness again.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Robin to Cyborg, can you hear me." Robin spoke into the communicator.

Cyborg was scared of answering the darn thing, not wanting to get yelled at and all but he reluctantly answered "Cyborg to Robin I hear ya." He said lightly hoping it would calm Robin down.

"Anything yet." Robin asked hastily.

"Nothing yet." Cyborg said carefully, he could practically hear Robin sigh impatiently.

"Alright then." Robin said, his voice full of remorse. "I'm out." He said.

The sadness in Robin's voice made Cyborg feel bad and somehow that made him work harder. He changed gears and the T-car sped on at a faster pace than before.

Meanwhile Robin was riding up and down streets looking for any signs of Starfire or Red X, any clue that they were there. He was close to a breakdown when he decided to walk down an alley to take a breather, he needed time to cope with this situation. He leaned against a building with his hands and his head hung low.

Where can she be? He asked himself, frustrated at himself for not knowing where she was.

"Guess I came at a bad time." Red X's voice came from somewhere above.

Robin looked up and saw him crouched on top of a building. "You." He spat out and Red X was a little threatened by the tiny slits Robin had as eyes.

Nonetheless he answered back. "The one and only." There was no more time to get on Robin's nerves because after the words were spoken three explosives were thrown in Red X's direction and he had to dodge them sloppily, barely evading the attack.

He flung off the building across to another, right over Robin, he clung to the edge with his hands his body dangling as he struggled to hang on. Robin started to climb the wall and when he was close enough grabbed onto X's leg. X shook him off and kicked him in the face, Robin fell at least 20 feet to the ground and on his back.

"You'll have to do better than that Bird Boy" He heard X shout from above, when he looked up he saw that X had successfully climbed over the edge and onto the roof of the building "If you want her back."

Robin was shocked at his choice of words, he felt like he had been visibly stricken and quickly made his way to his feet and tried his hand at the wall again, using birdarangs this time to help him up. When he was at the top he swung his body upwards and onto building.

As soon as he was standing straight a black leg attacked him from out of nowhere, he dodged it quickly and ducked waiting for more.

"Come on X, show me what you got." Robin teased after a coupld of seconds of circling the darkness.

From behind something pushed him and he fell to the ground, rolling to the side before X's foot came in contact with the concrete. He stood and faced X in his fighting position. X did the same and Robin came at him with a growl.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Beast Boy yawned.

"Guys I'm getting sleepy." He said.

"Better not let Robin hear that." Said Raven, her voice even and uncaring.

The three had reunited in the T-car after hours of searching, it was dark outside and they were wondering how long Robin intended on letting this go on. Not that they would know, Robin had dissconnected his communicator for some reason.

"I'm sure we'll get some sleep in a couple of hours ya'll." Cyborg reassured, yawning in the process.

Raven leaned against the window and looked out into the streets and the T-car sped on.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Starfire was getting tired of doing nothing, she felt caged and limited. Which she was but she didn't want to think about it. A while ago she had gotten so frustrated she had had another one of her tantrums. Kicking and screaming at the walls of her own personal hell. She was even on the brink of crying, which was pathetic to a warrior of her kind.

She sat down and leaned against the bubble, she sighed and pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them when she felt something in her side get in the way. In the spot where she usually put her communicator.

Her hand glowed green and she discovered that it was her communicator. Why was it still with her? Had X forgotten about it? Or maybe it was a trick, it was probably broken. She pulled it up to her lips and spoke.

"Robin? Are you there?"

No answer.

It was a trick, she had never known X to be this type of criminal. She had thought that there was some good in him, there were times where he had helped them. But now, she would have to forget those times because he was just like any other of their foes. She threw the communicator, where it landed she didn't know. It didn't matter either because all she needed to do was reach her hand out and she was sure to at least touch it.

A small amount of time passed and she in fact did reach out for the communicator, her hand produced more illumination and she stared at it, maybe there was some way to fix it? She opened it up and tried again, just to make sure.

"Robin?" Her voice was hopeful. "Robin, are you there?" She asked.

Her head lowered and she decided to try someone else, though she knew it wouldn't work it was better than stumbling around in the dark.

"Cyborg?" She called.

In the T-car everyone froze.

"Was that?-" Beast Boy stopped himself before he went any further, he must be sleepier than he thought.

"Starfire?" Cyborg's voice finished, he quickly reached for the communicator attached to the T-car "Starfire!" He called back.

"Cyborg!" Starfire was never more relieved than she was now.

Raven grabbed the communicator from Cyborg "Starfire where are you?" She asked, the slightest hint of care in her voice.

"Raven I am so happy to hear you, I had begun to think that I would never-"

"Starfire where are you." Raven repeated, there would be time for Starfire's rambling later.

"Oh, I am in the old stadium." Answered Starfire.

"The old stadium?" She heard Cyborg question. (Remember back to the episode "Only Human")

"Yes, I do not know why but I am here."

"Are you sure?" Asked Raven.

"Yes." Starfire reassured.

"Don't worry Star we're coming to get you." Said Beast Boy's cheery voice and Starfire smiled.

"Thank you." She said to all of them and they were silent, none of them could ever be as emotional as Starfire was which was why she evened all of them out, they needed her, especially Robin.

"Hang tight." Said Cyborg.

"Cyborg?" Starfire sounded like she was pleading.

"Yeah Star." He answered.

"Where is Robin?" There was more silence.

"We don't know Star, but don't worry about him we'll be there in a minute okay?" Answered Cyborg.

"Okay."

"Alright then, over and out." Cyborg said before she had another chance to ask a question.

Starfire stared at the silent commincator for a second and then put it away, she tucked her legs in and began to worry. Now that she was safe what about Robin? Where was he? He hadn't answered his communicator and that was a signal that something was going on, but what?

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

A kick to the side of his head and Robin was left seeing not one but three different Red X's he swung a punch at one of the illusions and another punched him in the stomach, he fell on his hands and knees and coughed up a little blood. He wiped it away like nothing and stood back up again. Both he and X were panting, barely holding onto the ground they were standing.

Robin ran towards X and just before he was close enough to hit X he squatted and his leg swung under X but X jumped and dodged the attack then Robin's hand flew straight upward and made contact with X's chin. X stumbled backwards, he recovered his balance and before his senses cleared Robin swung his leg under him again, but this time, with success.

It took him only a couple of seconds to find his footing again, "Youre gonna pay for that." X's voice made its raspy way out.

Robin didn't respond, only nodded in X's direction.

X came after Robin this time, using his left leg to deliver a series of kicks which Robin blocked with both his hands. X stopped to catch his breath for a second and Robin took the opportunity to try and punch him. X jumped back and the sound of Robin's fist ripping through the air could be heard. X punched him in the face and then jumped over his shoulder, when Robin turned around a couple of punches to the stomach and one aimed directly at his left cheek were waiting for him and he fell to the ground again.

He hit the ground with his hands and growled, he was so tired of losing. He didn't have time for this, he still needed to find out where Starfire was and he couldn't even see right now. Darkness was obviously on X's side tonight, he was so frustrated. Why did everything have to pile up on him like this? Why couldn't anything be easy for him?

X's leg came down on him and he tried to get out of the way as fast as he could but X had pinned his cape down. That's it, Robin couldn't take it anymore, he took X's leg and twisted it as hard as he could. X screamed in pain and backed off.

"Hey hey come on Robin we're buddies right." Said X.

Robin launched at X and his hand grasped around his throat "Where's Starfire." He demanded, his hand threatening to break through X's windpipe.

X chuckled "Lighten up."

"Where is she!" Robin screamed in his face.

X looked away and Robin felt his body soften. Then all of a sudden X's fist came at Robin and knocked him off his feet in surprise. X reached into his utility belt and pulled a couple of smoke bombs, they collided with the ground and smoke instantly started to blur Robin's vision.

"She's wherever I want her to be." Robin heard him say.

"No!" Screamed Robin reaching everywhere in the dust cloud coughing in his attempts, he had to be here somewhere.

But he was gone, and after a couple of minutes Robin hung his head in shame. He had let him go, what an idiot he was. He reached for his communicator and called the team in misery.

"Robin." Answered Cyborg "We found her."

Robin's eyes widened "Where are you?" He asked impatiently.

"We're headed for Titans Tower." Said Cyborg.

"I'll meet you there." Said Robin excitedly.

He tucked his communicator away and tried to locate his bike, once he did he started it up and finally headed for home. X had gotten away this time but at least he hadn't lost Starfire.

When he got to the Tower he saw the T-car parked in the garage, he parked next to it and entered the Tower.

When Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy saw him they were in the kitchen and didn't say a word. Only pointed towards the ceiling, which was a another form of saying that Starfire was up there, on the roof, waiting for him. He ran towards the door leading to the roof, he knew his face was bruised and probably swollen, he might scare her off but he couldn't wait to see her.

After he opened the door he changed his pace to a slower one and casually walked up behind her. He could see her outlined in the rising sun's rays, her hair blowing peacefully and she was watching something. What it was he didn't know, maybe she was only thinking. He walked up beside her and silently took his spot next to her.

She gasped excitedly "Robin!"

Robin turned to her and smiled, his dreamy face glowing with the warm sunlight that was reflecting from the smooth skin on his face "Hi." Was all he said, during the time he had been looking for her he had never thought of what he'd say when she'd be standing in front of him and now that she was here it was almost unbeliveable.

Without warning he was enveloped in one of her infamous hugs, when she pulled away to study him, she gasped again only this time it was in horror "Robin, what has happened?" She asked, her hand carefully sliding over his wounds.

"It's nothing." Robin looked away.

"But your face, it is bruised." She continued to look at him, making Robin more uncomfortable.

"Starfire I told you it was nothing." Robin stepped away from her and Starfire hung her head in shame, she had irritated him.

There was a small silence and then:

"Robin", Starfire waited for his attention and when he turned towards her again she continued "I am sorry." She said.

Robin was surprised "Sorry? For what?" His first thought was that she had slept with X or something of that nature. But then he thought about it a little more and shook his head to clear his thoughts.

"When the Red X kissed me.." Her voice trailed and right away Robin didn't want to hear more, Starfire saw him grimace and figured she'd better get to the point "I am sorry that I did not stop him, it is just that-"

She felt Robin's lips on hers and stopped talking, he laced his hands with hers and felt the soft warmness her lips offered. She could feel his breath upon her lips and her heart started to beat faster, she wondered if she had the same impact on him as he had over her.

When Robin broke the kiss he hesitantly led her hand towards him and rested it on his chest "Starfire, you're the only one who can do this to my heart."

Starfires eyes glazed over as she felt how fast his heart was working.

"And I have to admit that I don't like it." He looked down and Starfire searched for his eyes but he didn't have the courage to look back at her, not yet anyway. "I always thought that I could live my life without someone by my side, without a weakness. But then Red X came and he-"

"Oh Robin-" Starfire wanted to soothe him.

Robin layed a gloved finger over her lips.

"Let me finish." He said and she nodded her head obidiently.

"He came and took you from me and I realized Starfire, I realized how much I need you. That if you weren't here I could just fall off the face of the earth and I wouldn't care." Then he looked up at her.

Starfire's eyes were filled to the brim with tears, ready to overflow. "Robin you need not worry, I will never leave your side." She responded, truly touched by what he had just told her.

Robin smiled "Thanks Star."

"I welcome you."

They both faced the edge of the Tower and stared down at the shining ocean below them, then Robin gently took her hand in his.

THE END

But anyway I really want to thank everyone who's read and reviewed and anyone who's only read I appreciate it very very VERY much. I wish I could sit here and name every single one of you but I really don't have the time so I apologize for that also.
