She's a Beautiful Disaster.
Little Help From Friends and the Seventh Rose
As she opened her large green eyes she saw the rough dark concrete ceiling, the whole of her body ached and her head was thumping as if she was banging it on the solid ground. It hurt her very much to breathe and she didn't even attempt to move any of her muscles in fear of damaging them any further. All that she did do was call out for Darcy, wherever Darcy might be, she needed to know whether so was okay.
"Darcy?" she moaned quietly into the dark room, nothing but a tiny whimper came from one of the corners, Darcy was crying to herself ever since Karras had left, but she had been crying so much that only a small whimper could be heard anymore. Darcy looked across at where Starfire lay, Starfire was still laid in the position Karras had left her in, but Starfire didn't know about that cruel thing he did to her in her sleep. She was totally unaware that she was now carrying Karras's child. Darcy couldn't bring herself to tell Starfire from pure fright of what Karras threatened her with. Darcy just looked at Starfire and cried a little harder, she was only a little girl after all.
"Don't worry Darcy, I'm coming." Starfire said soothingly to the small girl who was bawling her eyes out, none of those tears were for her cuts on her ankles and wrists though, she didn't care, those cuts were nothing compared to what Starfire just went through. Starfire struggled onto her feet, and slowly made her way over to the girl, Starfire automatically panicked when a sharp pain shot through her abdomen, but the ignored the stabbing pain to go to Darcy's aid.
"What happened when I was unconscious Darcy?" Starfire asked quickly as she tried her hardest to break the chains from Darcy.
"He strapped me to this chair then…" she started but then remembered the threat and started to cry harder.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" she said angrily, but she was pleased as the first chain finally gave way.
"You shouldn't be worried about me Auntie Star" she said quietly, in between her outbreaks of tears, but then as she tried to cry, no tears came, she ran out of tears to cry. Her shiny blue eyes looked at Starfire, she was dying to tell her what Karras did but didn't in fear that Karras would carry out his threat.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, please don't Auntie Star, please…" Darcy mumbled before she started to fall asleep, she hadn't slept in awhile and worrying about Starfire had tired her out, soon she was softly talking to herself in her sleep. Starfire smiled at the sweet tiny girl before trying to break the second chain.
It was worse than the other cell, it was just like the one Starfire and Darcy are stuck in. Obviously when he first got put in jail they put him in the nicest one, the others were terrible. He was shaking because it was so cold, so he drew his cape tighter around his trembling body. He lay there thinking about how stupid he was to ever let Karras so easily defeat him. He was so angry with himself, for putting Starfire and Darcy into danger again, he thumped the floor with his right hand as hard as possible and listened to the dull echo bounce across the concrete walls. There was nothing he could do now. He sighed to himself, and began to thump floor harder and harder until his hands were sore. Then her clenched both of his fists so hard, that his fingernails dug into his skin, even through his gloves and drew blood. He sat up, ripped his gloves of his hands, threw them angrily against a wall then peered at the eight neat bleeding cuts on his hands. Four to each palm, each cut had a perfect fit for one of his sharp fingernails. He sighed and hung his head while the blood dripped from his palms onto the grey floor.
Raven didn't sleep a wink. It was the wedding this morning, she still had no idea where Starfire or Darcy were and Karras wouldn't let them speak to Robin at all, so as far as they all knew Robin didn't know about Starfire and Darcy's disappearance. Raven sensed when they were trying to talk Karras into letting them see Robin, that nobody was in Robin's old cell, but didn't bring the matter up. It didn't really bother her, what did was that in the next cell, there were two people, one of them being a small child, and the next cell another person. She couldn't be sure, but she was almost positive that it was Starfire and Darcy in the first one, and Robin in the second, but she couldn't be sure. So she was battling with herself, of whether to go down stairs to the prison cells after dark to investigate. In the end, she got up and walked to the door, she looked at Beastboy and Cyborg who were peacefully sleeping on her floor, and decided against waking them up. They needed their rest, they were both worked up yesterday, and it took Raven awhile to persuade them to get some rest, for they were no good as walking zombies. Raven swooped down and planted a kiss on Beastboy's cheek before coming her raven shape spirit and sneaking across and down the castle, she easily avoided the guards by pretending to be shadows. She got down to the two cells, to see Karras was sleeping, and that he had Robin's belt like last time, nothing had seemed to have changed. She took her pick and decided it was best to visit the cells with the two presences first, because she felt something only a strong spirit could produce. She slid underneath the doorway.
Darcy had fallen asleep, while Starfire managed to break all four chains from the tiny girl, then Darcy began to thrash about in her sleep, and her soft mumbling became shouting and talking harshly. Starfire held Darcy in her arms, and tried to calm the poor girl down, but she kept jerking out of Starfire's grip, and still yelled at Starfire things about babies and children.
Starfire backed away from Darcy when she noticed that Darcy began to stand up in her sleep, and then she began to change, still screaming at Starfire. But not in an angry way, she was pleading with her, she was warning her of something neither Starfire or Darcy understood. She just carried on to yell about mistakes and babies and it wasn't Starfire's fault, Starfire was breathing even more heavily Darcy turned around and her eyes were wide open. The blue had gone, and grey had replaced it, then Darcy's short blonde ringlets turned black and began to grow to the floor all the kinks turned out, so it was pin straight. It was only then did Starfire realise the sithian Darcy was speaking out to her through normal Darcy. Starfire stopped worrying so much, but still the sithian Darcy moaned to her about children. Finally the transformation was complete and the first Darcy Starfire met was walking towards her. Even though Starfire loved the girl, she couldn't help but be scared of her.
"Darcy! What are you trying to tell me?" Starfire said while looking at the girl who was slowly walking towards her, still speaking out to Starfire, but her yells were now desperate whispers and harsh tongue and she tried her hardest to be understood.
"Not your fault…nine months…mistakes happen…it wasn't your fault" she whispered as if it was painful for her to tell these things to her.
"What Darcy? I'm sorry I do not understand, what?"
"Babies…your very own children…nine months from last night…" she whispered before she fell forward into Starfire's lap, and she saw that sithian Darcy was slowly fading away and normal Darcy was coming back.
"Wait don't go! Do you mean I'm carrying a child? Please I need to know!"
"Using a lot of magic, wearing off, my mother is trying, got to go…nine months…" Darcy said before the image of sithian Darcy vanished and lay in her spot was normal Darcy who was sleeping silently. Starfire looked around the room, and panicked, is she carrying a child? Who is the father? Did Karras rape her? Is this what Darcy meant? A quiet voice disrupted her chain of thought.
When Raven entered the room, the powerful spirit had vanished, and Starfire and Darcy were lay in the room. Starfire was staring into a wall in deep thought, while Darcy lay in her lap, fast asleep. Starfire's face was uneasy and one hand lay on her stomach. Raven sensed the room again and felt three presences, one Starfire, one Darcy, and a very very faint life force form Starfire's stomach. Raven clicked and decided to speak out to Starfire.
"Starfire" she said quietly, and Starfire jolted at the new voice, she looked so please to see her, but Raven couldn't smile back to the girl Starfire knew that Raven had something important to say, and stopped smiling to listen carefully.
"I don't know how to tell you this Starfire, and please don't over react…" she said calmly, well on the outside she looked calm, but on the inside all of Raven's emotions were going haywire, Anger, for what Karras did, Sorrow, that it happened to poor Starfire, and plenty other emotions were upset about Starfire.
"Please Raven I need to know, Sithian Darcy just visited and told me something about children, mistakes and nine months, answer me truthfully am I carrying a child, or what you call pregnant?" she said with a determined look on her face, Raven felt pity for Starfire and sat down beside her.
"Oh, so that's the strong spirit I felt earlier" she whispered to make sure Karras didn't hear her.
"Do not avoid question Raven, I need to be in the knowing, am I pregnant?" she said looking straight into Raven's purple eyes. All Raven could do was nod silently then take her eyes away from Starfire's painful glare.
"Oh…" is all Starfire could say, she had nothing more to say, she was letting it all sink in, then she became angry then calm, then she was confused.
"So Karras…"
"Is the father? Yes, I'm afraid he is, I could sense it from your unborn baby that it is Karras's child"
"Oh…" Starfire repeated, before stroking Darcy's golden locks. Darcy opened one eye and snuggled into Starfire, so she picked Darcy up and sat her on her knee.
"Will you answer me truthfully Darcy? And promise not to lie?"
"Promise" she said sweetly, but she knew this was not a laughing matter so she peered up into Starfire's green eyes that were once so bright and cheerful, but now they seemed dull and un exciting.
"Did you know that Karras raped me last night?" Starfire's voice trembled as she thought of how he hurt her; she thought she could never look at her child without thinking of its harsh father.
"…I…knew he did something…and he called it rape…but I'm not sure what that means…but it looked painful…" she said before she started crying again. When Starfire heard her answer her eyes also filled up with tears. It must be true, she was now carrying Karras's child. She gave Darcy to Raven and walked away facing the wall. Raven took Darcy and let the girl cry into her shoulder.
"You don't have to keep the baby Star, you can get rid of it, and forget that he ever did this to you…"
"No"
"Why not, would you be able to love this child even though it is Karras's child? Could you look at it without bursting into tears?"
"I'm not getting rid of a child, I do not care if it Karras's, I shall love it, for it is still my child, and I shall love it to no end. What does it matter that its father is a cruel man, I do not mind, for that child deserves a chance to live, I will give it that chance and help it though its life…but I can only do that with the help of my friends" she said and glanced over at Raven who was so touched her speech that one tear crept out of her eye and slid down her pale cheeks.
"We will all be there to help you always Starfire, but first things first, lets go back home. I will get Robin in here, he is in the next cell, call Cyborg to get the T-Ship next to this wall, quickly or we shall never get away." Raven smiled at Starfire while she rang Cyborg quietly, and Raven slipped through the wall, and then came back with a sleeping Robin in a case of black magic.
Cyborg and Beastboy ran out of their room, so thrilled that the two girls and Robin had been found and they got onboard the space ship, taking out a few guards and a few cameras on their way down. They were high spirits and didn't care, and they rushed around the outside of the castle to wear the girls were waiting. They didn't know that one guard called the tamerian army to shoot them down when they were leaving the planet, but they were so happy when Raven transported the people through the wall one by one. The first was sleeping Robin, who they had to wake up and put in his sleep. He was still a bit dazed but he noticed that this was their escape plan so began to wake himself up properly. The next bubble was Darcy who was put into Cyborgs compartment, who shared a loving hug before they got ready for Starfire, who wasn't strong enough, as she was still tired, and still lost a lot of blood, so she was put in her compartment and it was only about two minutes before she fell asleep. Then Raven came through into her compartment, and the T-Ship blasted off into the sky.
Still on the planet though armies began to shot them down, by firing bullet after bullet and bomb after bomb, but Cyborg was so happy he literally danced through the shots and got out of the firing range with a few dents and scratches and only one slightly important hit that went into the right wing, and damaged it quite a lot, but it couldn't stop them.
It took them about 4 or 5 days to get back home again because of the damaged wing but when they finally touched down at home, they rushed Starfire upstairs to the hospital ward where Cyborg began to do the basic procedures.
Raven was questioning herself of whether to bring up the child, but thought it was for the best, and it would give her reason to be the person who checks over her, for well very good reasons since she was the only other girl in the team.
"Can I have a word guys?"
"Well you just six, so another few won't matter" Beastboy said playfully, but he smile vanished when he saw the look on Raven's face.
"This isn't a laughing matter BB," Raven had stared to call him BB since they started to be a couple, so he actually got permission to call her Rae, he was so impressed he used it quite a lot just to rub it in, that he was the only one allowed.
"Sorry Rae" he said while looking from Starfire to Raven and back.
"This isn't easy to say, and I haven't got over it since I found out, and we were still back on Tameran, but I think that she would want you all to know, and maybe it would be easier if I looked after her for the next few days, even though she will need all our support and help…"
"I know this is difficult for you Raven but can you get to the point, I need to know what happened to Star" Robin said impatiently and Raven got wound up, because he had no idea how tough it was to break to her friends that her best friend was raped and she is now pregnant.
"I will take my time, you have no idea what it feels like Robin, and if you really cared, you would let me explain about what a big impact on her life much more than ours it will make!"
"I just need to know what happened to her! I don't need the details just what happened Raven? Just tell us for god sake!"
"So you don't care then? So you don't realise what a big thing this really is?" Raven shouted back and Starfire woke up, but just to see her boyfriend and her best friend arguing.
"No I don't see why it is a big matter, because you haven't told me what it is yet, you are too busy twittering on about the smaller things get on to the main thing already!"
"None of this problem is small Robin, it is all going to have big impacts on all our lives, but none of us compared to Starfire, her life is going to be turned upside down. And because she is dating you, your life is going to change pretty drastically too. And because you both have such loving friends, we wont let you handle this on your own, we will be there, so don't tell me this isn't a big matter Robin."
"Just tell me what's wrong with Star, then I will judge whether it's a big matter or not okay?"
"Robin! Raven! Please do fight! Friends do not fight!" Starfire shouted over at both of them, they all turned to look at her and gathered around her bed.
"Star what happened to you? Raven forgot to mention the main part, but didn't stop going on about small details"
"You wouldn't give me a chance Robin. If you just shut up and let me finish then you would know what happened."
"Well maybe if you weren't so slow, then I wouldn't of had to interrupt you, and then we would all know, wouldn't we?"
"I WAS RAPED BY KARRAS AND NOW IM PREGNANT OKAY?" Starfire yelled, and they all looked at her with shocked faces and an awkward silence filled the room, until the silence was broken by Starfire's crying.
"Sorry, I had no idea, and I don't know what to say. But I'm pretty sure whatever I say will make matters worse, I will come and see you in private later okay Star?" Beastboy said to break the silence before he gave her a hug and left the room taking Darcy with him, as she stood there with her head hanging almost in shame.
"I'm sorry girl, I agree with Beastboy, I don't know what to say, but I think he was right to say we all need to speak in private, I think it would be easier, come on Robin, Raven can go first, she knew about it first." Cyborg said, and he had to pull Robin from the room, he didn't want to leave the side of Starfire's bed, and he couldn't take his eyes of her crying face. But in the end, Cyborg was able to drag the shocked Robin from her side and out of the room. Raven just looked at Starfire and rests her hand on Starfire's.
"Sorry you had to wake up to me arguing with Robin,"
"It's okay, at least everyone knows now, I might be a little lest awkward, then again it might be a little more awkward" she sighed then looked out of the window.
"We will all be here for you all ways. You will never have to face this alone. We all love you, and Robin couldn't love you more. You will get through this like you said…with a little help from your friends…" Raven said before giving her a hug and a smile, before leaving Starfire to wait for the next person.
Just lying there, completely zoned out from the whole world around her, Robin came in to find her. He walked slowly to the bed and sat on the edge, turned and looked at Starfire who sat up next to him, and dangled her bruised legs over the edge of the bed just like him. He put his arm around her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder while they both looked out the large window softly mumbling things to each other.
"I'm sorry for getting worked up before."
"That's okay, sorry for shouting it out to the room, it must have been a shock to you all, and I don't like to shock my friends"
"It wasn't your fault, none of this is anybodies fault but Karras's, there is nothing we can do…are you keeping the baby?" he asked looking straight into her emerald eyes.
She leant forward so her lips were only a few centimetres away from his own and whispered softly.
"Only if you will play daddy," she said looking up at his mask, she raised her hand and removed the mask slowly at first but then got quicker until it was all off. She leant back and lost herself into his icy blue eyes, the shone with silver and almost looked white when the light hit them. They were like a mirror as she saw her own gems stare back at her, yet she saw Robin's soul through his windows, that were so beautiful that she didn't realise Robin drew closer for a kiss until his lips were against hers. Only then did she take her eyes from his to enjoy the kiss fully.
They stopped drew back from each other, and Robin covered up his eyes with his mask once more, and he began to walk to the door.
"Robin?"
"Yes Star?"
"You didn't answer my question, will you play daddy for a child who is not yours?" she asked timidly.
"Of course I will, I will play daddy for this child, and be daddy for the next one" he said before leaving, both of their cheeks flushed bright red, but they also both had a sweet smile playing across their lips.
Next was Cyborg and Darcy, they entered and Darcy ran up to Starfire with something behind her back, Cyborg closed the door, and walked up to the bed, helped Darcy to climb onto it, then stood back and watched his daughter smile with delight as she produced something from behind her back.
"For you Auntie Star, I picked them especially for you, because they are pretty like you." She said holding out six bright red roses, Starfire took them and smiled at the little girl.
"Thank you so much Darcy how sweet."
"What else do you have to say Darcy?" Cyborg said before passing the girl a little white card. Darcy smiled and passed Starfire the card.
"You not open card until we have gone, okay?" she said while looked at Starfire with big blue eyes.
"Okay I promise!" Starfire said before sweeping the girl into a hug. Cyborg just leant over and whispered that he will be there for her, gave her a hug before taking himself and Darcy from the room. Just before he left he turned to speak to Starfire.
"Shout when you want Beastboy, because you need to read the card first then send him in okay?"
"Fine, and thank you Cyborg."
"Think nothing of it girl!" he said before winking and leaving the girl as she started to open the envelope.
The card read as follows:
Dear Aunty Star / Starfire
To make you feel better,
And defiantly more loved,
We have given you seven red roses,
We shall love you till the last rose dies.
Love The Teen Titans
Your Friends
Your Lover
And Finally your Niece- Darcy
XxxxxxxxX
Starfire smiled and looked over at the roses, to find there were only six roses sitting inside the vase. Six fresh roses, making the air smell sweetly. She thought it must have been a mistake a shrugged it off, then called Beastboy in.
"Beastboy, you can come in now"
Beastboy entered and walked up to the bed, and noticed the open card and the vase full of six roses and smiled.
"You liked your present then?"
"It was lovely, but in the card it says you gave me seven red roses, I can count six, did you mean to put six in the card?" she asked sweetly, but Beastboy just smiled, and handed her a bright red rose from behind his back.
"Oh here is the seventh one…but wait…this is a glass rose…it will never die" Starfire stuttered while looking at the beautiful glass rose, as the light glinted of the side of it.
"That's the point, we shall never stop loving you, and like this glass rose shall never die. Even if the glass rose gets broken, it doesn't matter we will always be there and never stopped loving you okay?" Beastboy said while he gave her a hug. He felt her crying into his shoulder.
"Thank you and I would be no where with out my friends" she whispered quietly back
