SWEET SIXTEEN

Omg I'm so sorry guys, this chapter was kicking my ass and literally I got inspired on Saturday and finished it all during the weekend. I ended up combining two different plots I had started writing (but never finished) for this chapter and ended up with this.

This is kind of in the style of those climactic episodes on TV where the camera just goes back and forth between scenes until at the end where the most dramatic thing happens and yeah

I loved writing this. All it took was a trip to my grandparents' house to finally finish this thing ugh

(This chapter is going to be a switch of POV's ok, I'm not going to label which POV is who's but I'll try and make each one obvious for you guys)

(PSS: all POV's are going to be in first person ok keep reading)

I just knew that Starfire was alive, I knew it!

Mike had just called me minutes ago, telling me that he had really important news on Star. Before he could even finish I told him to meet me in front of the gates of the manor as soon as possible and hung up.

So now here I was five minutes later, waiting for my personal private detective to arrive. I refused to think that the news were going to be bad; if I started thinking those thoughts now, I'd be starting to doubt all the time I spent looking for her, and then I'd start doubting that she was even alive. So no, it's safe to say that those thoughts aren't welcome.

I sighed. Where is he? I was about to look at my watch when I noticed a sleek black mustang come up the long driveway. I frowned. Bruce left for a business trip three days ago and said he would be gone for more than a week, so this person —whoever they were— isn't here for him. The only person I was expecting was Mike and his white Camry, and no one I know personally owns a car like that. I arranged my face into a neutral calm and put my guard up, not knowing who was going to come out of that car.

~*WAYN*~

Stress stress stress.

Worry worry worry.

That's all I've been feeling recently, and I'm sick and tired of it. I feel like I'm a prisoner, trying to find an escape and never finding one.

I'm incredibly paranoid now, always thinking that today might be the day that Robin finds out the truth. Raven has helped me with my rising anxiety, coming to my apartment during our lunch break and meditating with me every once in a while. And it helped, it has, but it hasn't helped for long. Eventually I'll go back to being restless and over thinking things, and it's always the same.

Like now, I was supposedly relaxing on my day off. Robin had said we both deserve a week off and that we would feel more rested and willing to work when we got back. So of course I would spend that entire break pacing in my living room wouldn't I.

Of course.

July was almost over, which meant the overload was just about to begin. Marie was starting school August 18th, Wally and Jen's wedding is September 15th, Marie's birthday is September 13th, the final fittings for the bridesmaid dresses are in late August, Jen has named me her maid of honor, and the best part is that Robin is the best man.

They do this on purpose, I know they do. They all (excluding Raven because she knows the truth but even then she wants the same outcome to some extent) want Kori and Dick to be a couple, to have him get over Starfire and move on.

If I hadn't wanted the same thing I would've been offended at the fact that they're so persistent on Robin moving on from me. But I also get them, since I've seen first hand how hellbent he is on finding me. He even hired a freaking private detective for god's sake.

Ha, add that to the list of things stressing me out. Apparently the private detective he hired is one of the best, and that's alarming. He could find me at any time, and is just helping my panic build up extraordinarily.
I fell on the couch, sighing. I still had an hour and a half left before I went to pick up Marie, so I might as well relax for a while.

I closed my eyes and was about to drift off when I heard her voice.

~*WAYN*~

I parked my car and stayed in there for a while, thinking.

I want to help Star more, I really do, because I know the meditations only help her so much. I sighed.

I came to see her as a surprise, to help her relax more than with just the meditations. I know she still has more than an hour left before she has to pick up Marie, and she has a few days off of work so she's cooped up at home pacing. I chuckled. I know how stressed she is, and she always paces when she gets like this.

About a minute later I finally got out, closing the car and walking up the stairs to the apartment. I lowered my emotional barrier to sense how Starfire was doing, when I noticed she was… scared?

I kept going up the stairs slowly, waiting so I could get a gist of how she was feeling better. She was terrified, furious, suspicious, and then I realized something else.

She wasn't alone.

~*WAYN*~

I saw her sag against the sofa and smirked. Oh, all the trouble she was going to have to deal with once she realized what I was going to do. Lets see how much it'll take till she cracks. All the worries she was stressing over now would be nothing compared to what I'm going to do to her and her precious Robin. Ooh, and that little daughter of theirs too, she's going to be the best part in all of this. My revenge is going to go along very nicely.

I smiled.

Let the fun begin.

~*WAYN*~

"Aw, is little Starfire stressed? Poor little girl, that must be horrible."

My eyes snapped open and I shot up and out of the couch, my eyes blazing.

"What are you doing here," I hissed, fear and anger overpowering me. This couldn't be, she was supposed to be forever in prison, how in the world did she get out?

She waved off the question, shrugging. "Eh, I pulled some strings, got out, and viola. Here I am. But sh," she put her finger to her lips, smiling, "it's a secret."

She came closer to me. "But enough about me, lets talk about you." She leaned in and whispered, "That daughter of yours is adorable by the way, when were you going to tell me about her? So much like her father, though I think you know that much."

I pushed her away from me, her back hitting the wall. "Don't talk about my daughter," I snarled, my anger rising.

She just laughed. Laughed. She brushed herself off and stood up again and smirked. "You act like I was never going to find out about her darling, how funny! Of course I was! And how polite she is, I've never met such a curious little girl. I had to tell her who I was to get her to talk to me, but it all worked out in the end now didn't it."

"Unless you want to be blasted out of this apartment I suggest you stop talking about my daughter," I said, my tone low.

She smiled again. "But Kori can't do that, she's just a simple ol' human!" She paused, looking into my eyes and smirking again. "You are Kori, aren't you?"

My eyes began to glow even brighter and she laughed again, sounding delighted. "But enough teasing, time to talk about the serious part." A predatory smile came across her face. "Lets talk about Robin and that little girl of yours. So close yet so far away, isn't he? Oh, how That's going to change for you. And Marie, she's so cute I might just take her for myself, what do you think?"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on Marie," I hissed, fear gripping my heart. And what did she mean about Robin?

"Darling, the end has just begun for you, I'm afraid." She flipped her hair out of the way, the chilling smile never leaving her face. "And to answer your questions, I may or may not have dappled a bit into dark magic while I was away and can now do more than before. Like reading minds, teleporting, and oh, this." She started changing in front of my eyes, and I watched on, horrified, as she became me, but as Starfire. She changed my original outfit into something provocative and form fitting and my hair from straight to curly, and soon enough I was staring into a redheaded mirror.

She turned from side to side, admiring herself. "What do you think? Thought your outfit needed a bit more pizazz, and your hair was too bland, so I jazzed it up!" She turned to me, still smiling.

"Ah, but it looks like question time has ended before it has begun. Our time together has run out. Your friend is coming up the stairs, and I have to go meet our favorite boy and I'm already running a bit late. Can't keep him waiting you know, it'd be rude. What with the four years he spent looking for you already."

Her smile became ferocious. "Goodbye, sister dear."

~*WAYN*~

Whoever was in the car stayed for a while there, and my paranoia went higher. Who was this person? I was about to walk over to the car and see who it was when the driver stepped out and went to open the back door, holding a hand out for the person in the car. I frowned once more.

Who is this mystery person?

~*WAYN*~

I ran up the steps and opened the door with a wave of my hand, storming into the apartment. Starfire was floating in midair, her stance like a warrior but her face crumpled in terror.

"Starfire, what happened?" I demanded. Pushing her back down to the ground. She sagged and looked me in the eyes, her now green eyes filled with fear.

"Blackfire."

~*WAYN*~

I appeared in the car and smirked. Oh, how nicely everything was turning out. I looked at my new face to check that everything was in order for a few seconds, waiting. The car door finally opened and my driver held out a hand for me. I arranged my expression into a calm, reassuring smile and stepped out of the car, a white coat i had created at last second around my shoulders.

It has begun.

~*WAYN*~

I saw a small hand reach out and touch the chauffeur's hand, and then the person —a female, I realized— stepped out. She had long, curly red hair, tanned skin, and when she turned to face me, I noticed she had almost glowing green eyes.

My eyes widened. No, it couldn't be, this isn't real, she's not real.

Starfire was staring right at me.
