Starfire glanced suggestively at the teenager she was dancing with, letting him pull her closer to him as she slipped her hands into his back pocket. She didn't like him, infact, she barely knew him. She licked her lips slowly, making sure he was watching her every move. What she did know was that he was the richest kid in Jump City, and he'd only confirmed that when he took out his wallet and practically flaunted the money in front of her face.

And she couldn't resist the temptation.

She flashed him a seductive smirk, and he grinned down at her, his mouth curving into lopsided grin. It made him look like a careless player, it would have, if it didn't look so rehearsed. He probably spent hours in front of the mirror perfecting it. Typical. She let her eyes stray around the room, everyone was having a great time, how couldn't they, when this club was rumored to be the best night club in Jump City?

She was bored.

Starfire excused herself to the ladies room, stifliling a yawn. She did what she came here to do, and she really couldn't be bothered to stay here any longer. She smirked as she she saw a big opening on the wall, it was supposed to be a window. Starfire snorted to herself, she had no doubt other thieves used it as much as she did...But no thief was on the wanted list for more than two years, and she definately wasn't going to let herself get caught anytime soon.

"Like taking candy from a baby..." she murmured, running her fingers through the smooth ends of the cash. There had to be atleast ten thousand in here, not including the coppers. She glared at the walls around her, she wasn't going to touch anything that wasn't absolutely nesessary to touch, the teens here just used the toilet as another place to fuck in private. She scrunched up her nose in disgust when she heard moanings coming from the far end cubicle. She was never going to come here again, no matter how famous the people were or how much cash she could get. She jumped out of the window, landing gracefully on her feet. she looked up, 60ft, she shrugged to herself, I could have done worse. A particularly strong breeze blew her hair into her face and she flipped it back, glaring at nothing in particular. Her hair was really beginning to annoy her, but she wasn't cutting it, she cared as much for her appearance as she did for her money. Mabye she could dye her hair, dye it black, like her sister's...She pushed the memories of her sister to the back of her mind, it was the last thing she needed, but still...Her sister had been one of the most famous theives of her time, but she gotten caught, and now, Starfire gave a humorless laugh, she was in jail. Starfire rememered vividly what her sister had said to her when she was being taken away by the police

"Whatever you do, never fall in love..." Her sister, had gone and done the absolute worst thing any criminal could do...she fell in love. She fell in love with an undercover detective, and told him everything. With no reason to stay and not wanting to watch her sister rot in jail, Starfire had fled, just like her sister told her to. She felt tiny droplets on her cheek and was relieved to find that it was raining. She shouldn't be crying, not now, it all happened years ago and she'd cried for hours that night. Her strapless, black dress stuck to her body like second skin, not that she really cared. She used seduction to get what she wanted, so love was never really important, she stopped and let the rain soak through her, reliving the night she found out her sister was taken to jail. She had made a promise to herself that day, that she was never, ever going to fall in love with anyone. She had to be unemotional, it was the only way you survived in this world. She brushed the raindrops off her dress, and hung her handbag loosley over her shoulder, taking a short cut to her her house through the Jump City central park, humming to herself softly on the way.

Robin leant against an old oak tree in Jump City park, using it as a temoprary shelter against the rain. He made sure it's shadow covered him completely, making him invisible to any and every onlooker he might come across. At midnight? In a park? Fat chance. A strong breeze ruffled his hair and he sighed, folding his arms and listening to the gentle, rythmatic padding of the rain. His eyes flew back open when he heard footsteps and female humming, he scanned the area slowly hoping that it wasn't a whole bunch of drunk people. Truth be told, he like the quiet life. He grinned to himself, realising the irony of it. He was a thief and a murderer, and not one of the best people to come across at night. He almost forgot about the mysterious girl until he heard her again, the voice was closer this time. This time, he was ready, he turned his head to the direction of the sound-

And stopped.

She was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. He blinked, half expecting for her to dissapear, but she was still there, with her long auburn hair decending in waves behind her back and her vivid green eyes catching and reflecting the moonlight. She was drenched with the rain, but it only enchanced her figure, showing off her marvelous curves and her long slim legs. The dress barely reached her thighs, he noted, scowling, Is she asking to get raped? Her eyes flickered in his direction, and for a brief fleeting moment, he thought she'd seen him, but she was looking at the bench in front of him, it hovered on the edges of the tree's shadow. He watched as she changed direction and sighed. This is going to be a long night.

Starfire sat herself down on the driest part of the bench, looking up at the sky. It had stoppped raining to reveal a bright, cloudless sky, with the full moon smiling down at them, shining unusually bright. She opened her purse, taking out all the money and counting it slowly, her trademark smirk sliding back into place. Robin's eyes widened beneath his mask, this girl was was getting more interesting by the minute. He had been a criminal too long to think that people could earn that much money in one night. A twig snapped underneath his foot, and he winced when the girl turned back and looked him straight in the eye. She turned back, sounding bored

"I thought I saw someone there earlier." Robin relaxed and leant back against the tree,

"You did."

"Aren't you going to come out?"

"Nope."

"Why not?" He ignored her question

"How did you get the money?"

"Who are you?"There was an uncomfortable silence in which Robin watched her as she continued counting her money, neither of them willing to answer eachother's question.

"Robin." He grinned as he saw her back stiffen, but his grin faltered when she looked back, regarding him properly. She didn't seem as scared as most people would have been, but curious

"Robin? The Robin?" He shot her an amused look at her disbelief

"Yes, I suppose." She glared at his smug expression

"What are you doing here?"

"I needed a change of scenery," He grinned at her shocked expression

"What?"

"I hope I'm not intruding,"

"How considerate of you" He smirked at the sarcasm in her voice

"I heard that there's a valuable jewel in the Jump City Museum," he started, trying to contain his grin "And I decided I might try my luck." he continued "Am I right in assuming that you'd be there?" he asked, watching as a mixture of different emotions crossed her face. She turned back, apparantly thinking that ignoring him would be the best option. Boy, was she wrong. He come up behind her silently, stopping when he heard her voice

"I thought you said you weren't coming out."

"I've changed my mind" he contradicted smoothly, hiding the fact that he was startled, and very, very impressed. He rested his hands on the the top edge of the bench, leaning against it so that he could see her but she couldn't see him. She glared up at him

"What do you want now?"

"I answered your question, now I want you to answer mine"

"What if I don't want to answer your question?" He stopped, at loss for words, nobody had ever said 'no' to him, and those who did were rotting in their graves. Apparantly she knew that because the challenge in her eyes never wavered. "You haven't met anyone who says 'no' to you, have you?" She turned around and poked him in the chest. Her eyes were hard and glittering, anyone with half a brain would have known that she was angry. He resisted the urge to take a step back. She poked him again

"Ouch-" She stood up

"Well now you have. I'm not going to take orders from you becasue I always do whatever I like, whether it's killing you-" she stopped, grabbed the edges of his shirt and kissed him firmly "Or kissing you" With that last remark, she arubtly turned on her heel and walked away, not once stopping to look back. He stood there for while, trying to get blood circulating back into his head. Then slowly, he turned around and went back to his original place by the tree, folding his arms as he leant against it. He couldn't help thinking that Jump City wasn't as bad as he thought it was...and he definately couldn't stop smirking.

So, what do you think, please tell me if I did anything wrong and how I could make this better. Constructive critisism is appreciated!
