Next chapter up! I'm sorry this took a while, my writing is having to be strictly limited no matter how much I don't want it to…thanks to everyone for your support, I hope you like this next instalment!

The next day after the morning patrols, Robin called a meeting. He stood up straight in front of them all trying not to look worn down, even though they all knew the toll this had taken on him. Last night Starfire had gone on patrol with Argent and even though she had insisted that she would be safe, he had stayed up all night until she had come back home. Starfire sat in the front row, looking up at him with concern in her round green eyes. She recalled how tightly he had hugged her when she had walked back in through the door and it made her want to weep again though she doubted whether she had many tears left in her to shed.

"Right." Robin stated, rubbing at his mask. "OK, now that everyone's here we can start. Firstly, the Jump City police department has officially handed the case of Terra's murder over to us. They've made a good start with basic enquires and collecting statements but from now on, it's up to us. We are going to be the ones who get her justice."

Everyone in the room nodded. They had been expecting this to happen and now all they wanted to do was get the case solved. Robin gave Beast Boy a quick look before continuing. He was sat next to Starfire with a set look of angry resolve on his face.

"Secondly, we have to arrange her…funeral." He said. He had known he was going to have to deal with it but he hadn't imagined how hard it would be just to say it. At the moment she was still in the autopsy room with the temperature turned down low to preserve her.

Raven stood up shakily. "We've done what we can with her," She said, without looking at Beast Boy. "Cyborg and I arranged a nice plot on the mainland-"

"She is not being buried on the mainland." Beast Boy said slowly, emphasising each word as he drew himself up. "She is going on the island where her friends and her home are."

"It's not as simple as that." Raven cut back but everyone could tell she was nervous. The pair of them hadn't spoken since Beast Boy's outburst the day before and had purposely avoided each other until now, both of them stubbornly keeping to their rooms. "This island is small and covered in rocks, where could we put her?"

Beast Boy was about to retort when Robin stopped him. "We will discuss this later." He said as Starfire grabbed Beast Boy's hand and pulled him back down. He shot one last venomous glance at Raven and she looked at him longingly before she sat down.

"Anyway," he went on. "Whatever is decided, we need to have precautions. We don't know the nature of this person or why she was attacked so we have to see it as an attack on all of the Titans. From now on, nobody leaves this Tower alone and all patrols will be in pairs with no splitting up under any circumstances. Jinx, I know you were meant to be on patrol on your own tonight but now you will be with Cyborg. Understood?"

Jinx gave a firm nod to Robin and Kid Flash, who was sitting beside her, put his hand over hers. Robin turned to the others and everyone again nodded. Again this had been expected.

"OK, now we can focus on the case," Robin said. "We all know what limited evidence we have but we can still have suspects and at the moment our prime suspect is-"

"Slade!" Beast Boy growled and everybody turned to look at him. He defiantly looked back and snarled "Oh c'mon, we all know it! He clearly had a motive, she was the one who killed him in that volcano, he was doing it to get revenge!"

"Beast Boy, please." Starfire said softly, putting a comforting arm around his tense shoulders. "This yelling at your friends will not help friend Terra." He gave her a look and his features softened before he leant back in his seat and crossed his arms. Raven gave the slightest of hopeful looks towards him but he stared straight ahead at Robin.

"Well, yes, Slade is the prime suspect given what motive he has." Robin said.

"Is there anyone else Robin?" Starfire asked, trying to keep things calm whilst Beast Boy was simmering with anger next to her.

"Well, no, not at the moment given what we have…"

"Well then the meeting is concluded!" Starfire stood up and turned to everyone. "Thank you my good friends! Please be on the watch and remain hopeful for we will bring this killer to justice!"

Beast Boy strode out of the room with no hesitation like a prowling lion. Everyone else began to file out as Starfire approached Robin. "Robin you are not the well, are you?" She said gently as she took his head in her hands and her thumb stroked his cheekbone. "Please, you must rest. I know how little of the sleep you got last night."

Robin looked at her and she saw the exhaustion lined in his face. "Star, I know you're worried about me but trust me I'm fine. I have done this before." He tried to chuckle but her intense gaze stopped him.

"Robin, that is exactly what is worrying me." She pleaded. "I know how you get with cases like this, how driven you are, how you refuse to stop…please Robin, come and get some sleep now so you will be alert later."

Robin sighed. "I suppose you're right." He said with a small smile. "Will you be with me?"

Starfire smiled warmly back as she started to lead him away. "Of course."

"And you will wake me up later when Jinx and Cyborg go out on patrol, right?"

"Yes I will Robin." Starfire said as they leaned against each other and his arm went around her narrow waist. She gave a small secret smile that he didn't see as they went into her room-she knew she would do nothing of the sort.

Meanwhile Jinx and Kid Flash made their way back down the corridor with the other Titans back to their rooms. After a while, members of the crowd started to peel away back to their rooms until they were the only ones left walking along. They were holding hands and as they walked she could feel him pulling her closer and closer with each step so by the time they had reached her door he was practically leaning on her. She could feel his breath on her cheek as his lips got closer to hers and she pushed him away with a laugh.

"Not right now Wally, honestly," She giggled as she saw him pout at her. "I've not got long before I go out on patrol."

"With Cyborg?" His eyes narrowed a little. "I still don't get what you saw in that tin can man."

"Oh please," Jinx sighed and shook her head at him, prodding him firmly in the chest. "I've told you this before, I wasn't dating him I was dating his alias Stone, OK? Besides, he's like a big brother to me now."

"Alright, alright," Kid Flash held up his hands but then he took hers and pulled her in closer to him. She was about to laugh again and wriggle free until she saw the serious look on his face. "You will be alright, won't you? You won't go putting yourself in danger?"

She looked into his blue eyes that were pools of concern and she lightly kissed him. "You know I'll be fine." She said as she stepped back. "Remember I'm a big girl. You don't need to fight all my battles for me."

She pretended to punch him in the arm and he theatrically recoiled, opening his mouth and letting out a slow-motion moan. She shook her head again and laughed at his antics and his grin returned but his eyes still looked uneasy. "Still, promise me you won't do anything reckless?" He said as she opened her bedroom door and he exaggeratedly leaned against the frame. "Like race off after somebody on your own?"

"I think I'll leave the reckless behaviour to you." She smirked at him as she bent her head down so their foreheads touched. "But OK, I promise."

"Good." Reassured, he peered around her into her room before bringing his blue eyes back to hers. "So, are you gonna let me in or what?"

She hummed and stroked her chin thoughtfully. "Well…I suppose I could…" She looked down at her watch before looking at him with a suggestive eyebrow raised. "I have got some time to kill…"

When Robin woke up with a start, it took him a while to figure out where he was. His eyes seemed to scorch at the vision of pink they were confronted with and he struggled to sit up. He turned his head and saw Starfire sweetly sleeping next to him. Her long thin body was spooning his and locks of her hair had tangled across his face and clung to his sweaty brow. He brushed them off and eased himself from her arms, somehow not waking her, before he looked out of the window and saw it had gotten dark. He cursed. Starfire should have woken him up, he thought looking at her calm beautiful face and finding he couldn't be mad at her, Jinx and Cyborg will be out by now. He groaned a little as he brushed the sleep from his eyes and looked around for what had woken him up.

A light was flashing at him from the shadows on the other side of the room in tune with a pressing bleeping and he stumbled over to it, something in him sensing it was urgent. His communicator was beeping at him and as he picked it up, he saw there was a distress call. Now fully awake, he snapped it open and saw it was coming from one of the industrial estates. Who's there? He thought before he called Raven, who he could see was heading there. She picked up immediately.

"Robin there you are!" She said as soon as her face came into view. He could see the backdrop of the night sky behind her and hear the flapping of her cloak as she flew to the site. "I've called you three times, what were you doing?"

"You called me?" He checked his communicator and saw three missed calls. "Sorry, I was trying to catch up on some sleep, Star insisted." As he spoke he could see her stirring and she looked over at him with sleepy panic on her face. "What's going on, are you with someone?"

"I've got Herald with me." She turned her communicator downwards and he saw him running long the ground. He gave a wave upwards before Raven reappeared. "We're almost at the site of the signal. We've been trying to call Cyborg and Jinx but we haven't got a response yet from either of them."

Damnit! Robin thought, gritting his teeth. He heard Starfire sit up and give a little noise but he ignored her and said "Do you have any clue where they are?"

"No. Hold on we're almost there…" The screen went dark as she lowered her hand and he heard their footsteps as she landed next to Herald and they raced around the corner. He heard them suddenly stop and he gripped his communicator tightly in his hand, the bad feeling in his stomach lurching back to life.

"Raven? Herald? What is it?" He said but he got only silence in return. Then there was a low moaning noise, a fluttering of breath that seemed to be barely there, like the whisper of a ghost. Then there was a cracking noise as Raven's communicator fell to the ground as it slipped from her fingers. Then her hysterical voice came crackling through as she began making frantic panicked orders, her voice rising in volume as he heard her fall to the ground.

"Raven? Somebody answer!" Robin yelled as Starfire gave a gasp. All of the colour had gone from their faces as they shared a fearful look. Then the communicator was picked up and Herald appeared on the screen. His face held a distressed look and he was visibly trembling, his fingers clutched tight around his horn like he was about to drop it. In the background Robin could see Raven bent over something, her hands lost in the midst of her magic.

"Robin," Herald said urgently. "This is bad…really bad…get a bed ready, we'll be over in a few seconds, I'm about to make a portal…"

"What's happening?!" Robin almost shouted as Starfire ran to his side.

"It's Jinx." Herald said with a fleeting look at the dark shape slumped on the floor. "She's in an awful way man, like nothing I've ever seen before…She's still breathing but only just…She's been attacked. Whoever attacked Terra…they got her Robin. They got her."
