Chapter 13
Your Betrayal
(A/N: All the speech that is bold is Robin and Starfire speaking Tamaranian. I wanted to give it a try because I thought it was cute.)
Cyborg, and Beast Boy loaded the ship. Robin looked for Starfire and he finally found her on the roof."Hey, we are getting ready to leave. Are you okay?" Starfire sighed and looked at Robin. "Honestly, I don't know."
"There is something that I don't like about this attack. It feels like the girl of bats isn't telling us everything. And it makes me uneasy." Robin put a hand on her shoulder. "We have to go, it's Bruce. I can't just turn my back on him."
Starfire nodded. "I understand that Robin, but there is something about this that feels false. Like we aren't getting the whole truth." Robin shook his head. "Babs is a lot of things, but she wouldn't lie about something like this, not with Bruce's life in jeopardy. You just gotta trust me."
Starfire faced him. "I love you." She said in her language. She had been teaching him her language for weeks now. "And I love you. Come on, let's go." He said in Tamaranian. She nodded. Robin nodded and walked ot the stairwell.
'It's not you that I do not trust, it's her.' Thought Starfire. Starfire sighed and headed to the ship. "Come on, let's get going" said Robin. The others nodded. Robin looked at Batgirl. "Are you ready?" She nodded.
"I'm scared Dick. This isn't like Bruce at all. I can't help but worry." He put a gloved hand on her shoulder. "We'll find him." She sighed and nodded. Batgirl joined them on the ship and they headed back to Gotham.
Starfire couldn't shake the feeling of dread in her stomach. She couldn't shake the feeling that Batgirl was keeping a secret from the rest of the titans. But she knew that Robin wouldn't think of it because it was his guardian as risk right now. Starfire sighed deeply.
"Are you alright Starfire? I can sense your uneasiness from all the way over here." Said Raven. Starfire faked a smile. "Yeah, just a little nervous friend Raven. I promise you I am the okay." Raven nodded. "As long as your sure." She said lowly.
They arrived on the outskirts of the town. There was smoke and fire all over the place. "This is horrible." Said Robin. Suddenly the ship was shot down. "We're gonna crash hard!" yelled Cyborg. Starfire quickly flew over to him.
"Open the hatch, we have to get out of here before we crash." Said Robin. Cyborg nodded. The hatch was open. Beast Boy turned into a pterodactyl, and grabbed Cyborg. Raven flew out. Starfire grabbed Robin's hand.
"Help!" yelled Batgirl. Starfire gasped and flew at her, grabbing her hand. The ship crashed, creating a tower of black smoke. "Is everyone okay?" asked Robin as they all landed. "Yeah, we are fine." Said Beast Boy. "Where the hell did that attack come from?" asked Cyborg. Starfire looked at her friends. "I will fly up and see if I can see any of the aliens that are threatening here." Robin nodded. "Be careful." She nodded. She flew up straight. She looked around the burning city and she spotted some aliens running through the smoke.
She flew down and she gasped, and her blood ran cold as she saw who was standing there. "Koriand'r of Tamaran." The alien spit out. Starfire felt herself descend as fear overtook her happy thoughts. She landed, and she looked at the alien.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice shaky. "I came looking for you. That girl really did hold her end of the bargain. Perhaps not all humans are stupid and untrusting." She said with a cruel smile. Starfire looked at her with confusion. "Wait, what are you talking about?"
She snapped her finger and Batman was dropped on the ground. Starfire shut her eyes and concentrated. 'Raven, if you can hear me please come to where I am. I found Batman, but that's not all that I found.' Raven gasped. "Robin."
They all turned and looked at her. "We have a problem. Starfire needs our help. She just talked to me telepathically." Robin nodded. "Titans, go!" They all flew over to where Starfire was. "Batman!" yelled Batgirl.
The woman looked at Batgirl with a smile. "Well done human. You kept up your half of the bargain." Robin looked at Batgirl. "What the hell is she talking about? Who is she?" demanded Robin. "My name is Akeldama. I am the wife of the late Skotadius." She said with a cruel smile.
Robin's heart skipped a beat. "I came here in search of the Tamaranian girl who is responsible for the death of my late husband. I came across that human girl and she said she knew who and where she was. We made a deal."
"It was one Tamaranian Princess for the release of the Batman. That was the deal. Well come on human, get your little friend. You held up your end of the bargain. Now take him and get out of here." Batgirl bowed her head.
Robin glared at her. "You sold her out! You sold her out! That's why you didn't have a problem with her helping!" yelled robin. "I'm sorry Robin!" cried Batgirl. "I didn't know what else to do!"
"Robin, it's alright." They all turned and faced Starfire. "I killed her husband. I need to go with her." Robin's heart stopped. "Starfire! Don't do this!" yelled Cyborg. Starfire faced her friends.
"If me leaving saves this city and saves the Batman, how can I not?" Robin walked closer to them. "Because you belong with us." Akeldama shot a beam, it striking Robin in the shoulder. He screamed out in pain. "Robin!"
She grabbed Starfire as she tried to run to him. "Anyone who keeps me from taking her is going to be struck down. I will kill you all without even blinking." Robin stood up, the shoulder of his uniform burned from the blast.
"You aren't taking her anywhere. She stays here where she belongs." He seethed. Akeldama laughed. "You are a stupid human. Don't make me kill you too." She raised her weapon.
"NO!" yelled Starfire. She lowered it and looked at Starfire. Robin stared at Starfire. "I will go with you. I will. I will go with you and no one else has to get hurt. Please just don't hurt them." She begged. Akeldama looked at her.
"You are smarter than I thought you were, Troq." Starfire bowed her head. She looked at Robin. "Don't worry M'wrly D'jpth. It won't be forever. I love you. Goodbye for now." She said. Akeldama slapped her to the ground, unconscious.
Everyone flinched as she hit the ground. Robin shook his head. "Please don't do this. Don't take her from me. From us." He begged. Akeldama laughed. "She killed my husband. She has to face the consequences.
"We will leave your planet. But if you come after her. I will come back with my whole army and you know of our reputation from your little Troq here. We will destroy not only this pathetic little city, but we will annihilate the whole planet." She looked at one of her guards. "Get the prisoner and put her on the ship. We are going to leave." They all nodded, and they headed back the ship. The ship took off. Batman groaned, and he sat up, rubbing his sore head. Robin walked over silently and helped up Batman. "What the hell happened?" he asked, rubbing his head. Robin looked up and glared menacingly at Batgirl. "A lot." He said seething. Batgirl dropped her head.
