Chapter One:
The End
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin's P.O.V.
Robin drove quickly down the streets on his R-cycle, not bothering to stop at red lights.
Seriously, how stupid was I to have said that? He thought to himself, I'd never forgive myself for this.
Then, a more frantic thought occurred to him, would I be able to get there in time? Robin did not want to think about that. But still, his instincts told him to go faster. At the same time, he had fear and hope in his eyes that were jut visible behind his mask. Fear, that he might lose what made him whole, and hope, that he would still be able to reach and save it.
"Robin," came Raven's voice on the communicator, "I found her."
"Where?" was all he could manage to ask, at the moment.
"One-oh-one point First Street," she replied. His heart fluttered. Luckily, he knew practically the whole street of Jump City memorized, and that street was only two minutes away. "She's in critically wounded. I tried my best to heal her, and it seems that just my power alone is not enough, hurry."
'Not enough….' The words repeated through his mind. What did that mean? Was he too late? He hoped not. If he was, who's responsibility was it to look after his heart? Then he remembered that he was on hold with Raven.
"I'm almost there, call the others," he blurted out; he clicked the communicator off.
'Not enough… not enough…'the words kept playing over and over again. It was like pressing the rewind button inside his mind, instead of on film. He partly came back to reality and turned sharply at a corner, Raven and Starfire coming into view. The motorcycle skidded to a stop; Robin hopped off and hurried quickly toward them. He threw himself down by Raven's side and gently cupped Starfire's head in his hands and laid it on his lap. Now he could see what Raven had meant by critically wounded. Bloody scratches all over her body tore Starfire's clothes, by something unknown. She had a gush of blood running form her forehead. Robin sucked in a sharp breath. Whoever did this to Starfire is going to regret it, he vowed. He felt Beast Boy and Cyborg's presence as they joined them, but he did not look away from Starfire's face. Still looking, he spoke to Raven, "We need to get her to the infirmary."
To Starfire, he whispered, "Please, I'm so sorry I said that earlier, it didn't mean anything. What I was trying to say was—I love you. Don't give up, not now. Please for me." He felt hot tears running down his face, but he did not care if the others were staring at him. Wondering why, he looked up at Raven and demanded, "What are you waiting for?"
Robin saw her hesitate and bite the bottom of her lip. A small tear escaped her eyes.
"Raven?" Beastboy spoke up for the first time since arriving.
"I'm sorry, Robin… we were too late," her voice broke off on late, "…she's gone…"
"What do you mean by gone, Rae? She's still---with us, isn't she?" Even Cyborg was too slow to realize.
"…she's dead…"
1200 hours earlier
Raven's P.O.V.
_____________________________________________________________
It was a quiet peaceful day, the sun was up and no villains had tried to do away with today. Well, yet. As usual, Cyborg and Beastboy were playing video; while Starfire watched, and Robin was in his room.
Just as Raven was about to take a sip of her hot green tea, while reading her book, the was a sudden shout of, "WHAT? HOW DID YOU GET PASS ME? I WAS TOTALLY KICKING YOUR BUTT!" making her fingers slip, spilling her tea everywhere as her teacup went crashing to the floor.
"Boo-yah!" Cyborg cheered as the words, 'VICTORIOUS' flew across the screen, making Beast boy look like an idiot with his mouth hanging all the way to the floor. Raven was beyond furious. "BEAST BOY!" she yelled, using her angry tone. In animae version, her body would be on fire. Beastboy jumped at the sound of Raven's voice.
"Friends, let us forgive and forget. I'm sure whatever Beastboy did, he did not mean to do on purpose." Starfire said, standing up for Beastboy. Raven turned her glare away from Beastboy and to Starfire, "He ruined my newly purchased book!" Raven declared furiously, then added, "by taking me by surprise."
Starfire's P.o.v.
"Oh, well," looking at it from a different prospective, it seemed like an convenient thing to do, so she looked at Beast boy, "you should apologize to Raven."
He looked at Starfire in astonishment, "You've got to be joking,"
Starfire sighed. She could already tell that this wasn't going to end well.
"One moment please," and she quickly walked out of the common room.
Beast boy's P.O.V.
He stared in astonishment as he watched Starfire stalk off. What in the world…had just happen. He was so confused. All of a sudden, Raven started yelling at him for no good reason at all, and Starfire tried to be peacemaker even though he had not the slightest clue of what was going on. Wait--- did Raven just say, 'by taking her by surprise?'
He scratched his head; he was clueless.
Starfire's P.O.V.
If she couldn't make them get along, then Robin could. He always did. Before going to see him, she rushed to her room and grabbed some money for Raven. Then, she rushed to his door, and stopped. She brought up a fist to knock. One…two…three.
"What?" came Robin's sharp response inside. She flinched, "It is I, Starfire."
The automatic door opened immediately and Robin appeared there in the doorway, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"I'm rather busy, Star, if you don't mind making it quick."
Starfire hesitated, her face reddening. "Well, it's about our friends, Raven and Beastboy, I" she inhaled a deep breath before saying, "I was wondering if…" but she never got to finish right then. She was cut off by the alarm that rang throughout the tower.
"We'll have to discuss this later, let's go." Robin rushed to the common room to get the others. Starfire exhaled, and followed after him.
And that's the end of part one of chapter one. Well, what did you guys think? I know it's not making much sense now… but it will later on, I promise. If you didn't get it, in the beginning section (Robin's POV), it was the present. Then it switched to the past (making it be present) right after it said 1200 hours earlier. Here some questions to ask to yourselves:
Who apparently killed Starfire? And how? What did Robin say to Starfire? Will Robin bring himself out of remorse? Will the Titans still stand? Will Beastboy and Raven ever apologize to each other? Who are they going to face off in part two? And for fun, whoever get closes to answering these questions on reviews, I'll dedicate a chapter to them So, press the Feedback! Part two will come soon…
