Starfire's Parents Part 2
It had only been a couple hours since Robin had left Starfire to sleep. Starfire's eyes snapped open searching for something that wasn't there Robin wasn't there. Where was he? Starfire got up and walked out the doors. There was no sound in the tower. She needed to talk to him. She walked to the common room. She was so sure that she would find him there, but nobody was there. She walked back upstairs only to bump into her parents.
"What the heck are you doing up and walking around alone for Starfire?" Her mother questioned in a harsh tone.
"I am looking for Robin, have you seen him mother or father?" Starfire asked and both her parents shook their heads.
"Don't even think about getting close to him Starfire, you are not permitted to see him." Nightlight snapped
"I am allowed to make my own decisions! Understand because right now you both are being big 'stupid heads' as in the Earth term!" Starfire shouted and stomped off to her room.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)Starfire sat in her room, tears slowly coming down her face. It had only been an hour since her "big" fight with her parents. Before her fight, she had had some pain her arm, but had decided to ignore it not knowing that it was deadly. She didn't know what to do anymore. She was old enough to make up her own mind right? There was a knock light on the door.
"Yes who is there?" Starfire asked and wiped away the tears.
"It's Raven."
"Oh come in." Starfire said and smiled. Raven opened the door and stepped in. She was wearing her usual clothes, but somehow looked a little different then she used too.
"You changed… Is something wrong?" Starfire questioned and Raven shook her head.
"Nothing is wrong… I just want to talk." Raven said and Starfire went blank. Everything disappeared from sight. She looked around. Where was Raven? Where was her room? Where was she?
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"Hello? Does anyone know where I am?" Starfire yelled into the darkness. No answer… Starfire knew there wouldn't be.
"Please? Tell me where I am." Starfire tried again, but still no answer. Starfire fell to her knees. Tears falling down her face. Then there were footsteps. Starfire brought her head up slowly and looked at who was coming towards her. It was a ghost… Wasn't it? Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
"If you keep living like this, you'll never be happy." A voice… Starfire looked around… What was going on?
"You'll never live." A different voice, she didn't understand.
"You'll be a princess that is unhappy forever." A third voice.
"No I won't!" This time it was her own voice. She was falling, but who was there to save her? Nobody… She had done this to herself.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
"Star?" Robin knocked on her door and when there was no response, he pushed open the door and saw that Starfire was sleeping on the ground. He picked up a pillow and placed it under her head and then took her blanket and placed it gently over her.
"Don't worry Star; I'll take care of this." Robin placed a kiss gently on her forehead and moved out of her room to find her parents. He opened the door and looked as Starfire's parents sat there talking in hushed voices.
"What do you think you're doing?" Sunlight questioned and shook her head as she pointed to the door. "You know the way out."
Robin stood his ground. "Why don't you leave her alone?"
"She is my daughter! I will never leave her alone!" Sunlight said and her eyes glowed a bright green.
"Get out of this tower. You don't deserve Star." Starfire's parents stood where they were. "If you don't get out… We'll have to forcefully make you get out." Robin said as the doors opened up to show Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. Starfire's parents shook their heads and looked at each other.
"Let's just have you know, that this is not the last you will see of us." Robin shook his head as they both flew out the window in disgust. They didn't even bother to bring their bags. Robin thanked the team members for acting like they were going to hurt Starfire's parents, but they had never even thought of it.
He ran off to Starfire's room and opened the door.
"Starfire-" He saw her body splashed out against the floor. Her limbs spread everywhere. He gasped and picked her up bridal style and placed her on the bed.
" Rae come here!" He screamed and she came running.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"Starfire… Something's wrong with Starfire." And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
"So is she going to be okay?"
"I'm sorry
Robin… She's – she's gone." I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
"Starfire… Starfire, I always wanted to meet you here."
"Who are you?" Starfire questioned to the voice.
"I'm your biggest fan! The names Casey."
" Casey." Starfire repeated and looked at her. "Where am I?"
"Heaven silly!"
"What am I doing here?"
"You died."
"What?"
"You're dead."
"How?" Starfire questioned.
"I don't know everything… I just know I've wanted to meet you since forever!" Casey stuck out her hand and Starfire gladly accepted it. She took the girls hand and walked towards a bright light.
"Where are we going?"
"We're going away – forever."
"But I don't want to go away forever." Starfire answered and Casey looked at her puzzled.
"Not forever just that you'll never see your friends until they die."
"But that's not what I want!"
"We don't always get what we want…" Casey trailed off and gave Starfire's hand a tug. "C'mon, people are waiting for you."
"Who?"
"Just some people… Judy Jessica Mimi Allie David Damon… Those people, my friends here. They've always wanted to meet you."
"Why am I here
Casey? I had the perfect life, how did I die?" I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
"No – no – no, that can't be true. Raven try again!"
"I can't do anything Robin! I'm not God or something!" Raven spat out. "I'm – I'm sorry."
Robin let himself cry. Why hadn't he noticed it before? Why hadn't he known that she was dying – or dead? "I can't believe she's gone."
"I can't believe this is good-bye." Raven spoke up and looked at Starfire's limp body. The color was drained out of it. Raven shook her head and pulled her hood over her head. She started to cry and she fell against the bed near Starfire's body. "You were my best friend." Raven confessed but knew it was too late to say things like that.
It was then that she found the dart in the back on Starfire's arm. She took it out and raised it in her hand. She knew what it was, it was a dart from Starfire's parents. They hadn't meant to do it, but they did it. They had killed her. It was meant for her to just be passed out so they could take her home. But it really had been poisonous and when it had hit Starfire's skin and got into her body, she had died a couple of hours after that.
She should have known. Starfire's parents didn't know that if they had done that and she didn't get any medical treatment, she would die and now Starfire was gone… Gone from this world.
"Her parents did this." Raven told Robin and he looked up at her.
"What?"
"Here I'll explain. Let's go find Beast Boy and Cyborg." Raven exited the room, but Robin lingered in the room for a little longer.
"I love you so much Starfire… As and forever… I just wish you didn't have to go." Robin started to cry again, this was the only time he allowed himself too. "Good-bye my love."
And with that he left her alone in the room, making his way to go and find out what had killed his only light. And he would get revenge on whoever did it.
