I’ll Be
Chapter 9
Starfire’s POV
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg gggggggggggggg
As soon as the rescue people leave with Raven and Beast Boy, I decide to go to the hospital as well. Robin and Cyborg are still fighting Slade. I know I should be there to help, but I know that Raven needs my help as well.
I’m sitting in the waiting room, waiting for Raven to return. When she does, I see her slump into an empty chair and at first she’s staring out the window, then the next thing I know, she starts sobbing. A part of me thinks I should leave her alone, but I ignore it and go over to Raven. I place a hand on her shoulder. My friend needs help, and I’m willing to be there for her.
“Friend Raven.”
She looks up. At first I see sadness in her eyes. Then they turn into pure hatred. I feel frightened.
“Don’t touch me.” she says furiously.
I back up. I am tempted to flee to the other side of the room, but I stand up for myself, tears running down my cheeks. “I’m only trying to help.”
I say the wrong thing. Raven’s face now shows pure fury along with the hatred. “You had the chance to help him, but you didn’t! Now what makes you think I’m going to let you help me?!” she shrieks.
I feel like she has just slapped me. But I know I deserve it. Silently, I take out a letter out of my pocket. The letter Beast Boy wrote to Raven. I hand it to her, and without a backward glance, I fly out of the waiting room. I sit on the steps in front of the hospital, burying my head in my hands.
As I close my eyes, images of what just occurred keep flashing in my mind. I can’t help but remember.
Flashback
Robin, Cyborg, and I entered the basement of the run-down house in a flash. We knew where to go, since we saw Raven’s coordinates. I gasped when I saw Beast Boy hanging by one arm, with wires wrapped around him. I felt tears come to my eyes when I saw how bad of shape he was in. I knew it was all my fault. I watched as he desperately was trying to get his left hand out of the cuff that was holding him. Without a second thought, I throw a starbolt at the chain, making it break, and sending him to the ground.
“I wouldn’t have done that if I were you.” Slade’s cold voice rang through the shadows. I had to duck from getting hit by his fist.
“Well you aren’t me, and you’re going to leave my friend alone!” I shouted furiously. Slade was about to throw another punch, when Robin collided with him, throwing every punch, every kick he had learned. I started to help, when Raven’s voice echoed through the basement.
“BEAST BOY!!”
I turned and saw a bookcase lying on the ground, Beast Boy’s body a few inches away. I watched in horror as Raven pulled his limp body into her arms. I turn to Cyborg who was right next to me, his mouth gaped in horror. Robin must’ve gone off to fight Slade by himself. “Cyborg,” I said with emotion. “Call for help.”
Cyborg didn’t have to be told twice. Opening his arm, he dialed 911 to summon help. After that, he ran off to find Robin. I assumed he was going to help him fight Slade.
Carefully, I walked over to Raven, who was cradling Beast Boy in her arms. “Friend Raven.” I said with caution.
She looked up at me, her face full of tears. “The rescue people are here. Maybe there will still be a chance to save Beast Boy.”
I started heading out of the house, hoping that Raven was following behind me.
End of Flashback
I never realized how much Beast Boy meant to me until I saw how limp he was in Raven’s arms. It’s all my fault he’s in there, dying. Why did I have to be so STUPID?! Why did I have to listen to Robin? Why didn’t I trust my own instincts? I knew that they way he was not acting himself. Why didn’t I ask him if he was okay? I’m supposed to be the caring one. What in the hell is wrong with me?!
“Starfire?”
I look up and see Cyborg standing in front of me. He sits down next to me, and puts an arm around my shoulder for comfort. “Friend, do you think he’ll be okay?” I ask in tears.
Cyborg looks at me, the expression on his face shows great amounts of guilt. He breaks into a fake smile. “Of course he will! It’s BB! He’s strong.”
“Oh friend, I am not sure how to react around him now. I feel so horrible. I treated him like a muckbeetle. Like a clorbag. Instead of us forgiving him, he should be forgiving us. But we don’t deserve his forgiveness.”
“I know, Star.” says Cyborg. “But Robin told us not to trust him. I never realized it would hurt him so much. Now he thinks we don’t care. You’re right. We are the ones who need the forgiveness.”
“What happened to Slade? Is Robin still fighting him?” I ask.
“Slade disappeared. He ran off, once he realized he was outnumbered. Robin’s back at the tower.”
“He’s WHAT?!” I scream. “WHY?!”
“To look for Slade. You know how Robin is.”
I stand up in fury. How could Robin be back at the tower looking for Slade when his friend is lying in the hospital fighting for his life? I start to fly back towards the T-tower.
Cyborg stands up in alarm. “Star, where are you going?”
I turn to face him, my eyes glowing green. “I am going to make him realize everything that he’s done to our friend. And I won’t stop trying until he does!”
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooo
I enter the tower, feeling the anger flow through me. I find Robin typing in the computer. I throw a starbolt him, making him fall to the ground. He stands back up shakily.
He looks at me wide-eyed. “Star, what the hell was that for?” he asks in confusion.
“You coward. You CLORBAG!!! You-you, HOW DARE YOU?!”
“What did I do? What’s wrong? You’re not acting yourself.”
“How can I act like myself when you are back to looking for Slade while our friend Beast Boy is lying in the hospital dying?! I do not understand why you are not there, willing to support him. I do not understand why you care about what’s wrong with me, but when it’s Beast Boy, you don’t give a damn! It’s your fault he almost took his life!! You wouldn’t let me talk to him, you said he was dangerous. If you hadn’t of said anything, we wouldn’t be in this horrible mess!” I turn away, the tears running down my face. I feel guilty almost instantly. It isn’t really all his fault, but I can’t help but feel that it is.
“Star,” Robin says quietly. “I only said those things to protect you. I wasn’t sure if the antidote was going to work. I wasn’t sure if Beast Boy was going to attack again. And I’m looking for Slade to make sure he doesn’t try and hurt him again,” he says in an unconvicing tone.
I roll my eyes. What a lame excuse I think to myself in anger. He just doesn’t want to admit he was wrong. “I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Friends should always come first. You don’t realize how much damage you’ve done to him emotionally. He’s your friend, an you’ve done nothing but treat him like dirt. And if you were making sure that Slade won’t hurt Beast Boy again, you’d be at the hospital right now to protect your friend.”
“I’m just trying to stop Slade. He’s no friend of mine.” Robin lets slip. He covers his mouth, an expression of horror.
Aha I think to myself so the truth comes out. I gasp in horror. “If he is no friend of yours, then you are no friend of mine!” I say in fury. I turn to go back to the hospital, when Robin’s hand grabs mine.
“Star, please don’t go. I love you.”
I pause. I’ve been waiting to hear those words for a long time. Now the feeling instead of joyful, is hollow. I pull my hand out of his grasp, and fly back to the hospital to support Beast Boy.
