"We can't be together.... I'm sorry" With Slade after him, he can't risk the person he loves the most....
Why?
Courage
You reject her....
And when she has the courage to stand up,
Would you push her down?
When she finally has the courage to speak out,
Would you cover her mouth?
When she finally has the courage to forget you and move on,
Would you tell her no?
When she finally has the courage to love again,
Would you hold her back?
When she finally has the courage to stand up to you and tell you off,
What would you do?

Chapter 1: He's Back, But Why?
Flashback
"I love you Robin...."
"We can't be together.... I'm sorry" Robin said and Starfire's heart sank.
"We can be together, why can't you see Robin?" Starfire shouted at him. She had tears falling from her eyes. They were streaming down now.
"You're blind Robin, just because Slade's after you doesn't mean I'm not willing to risk my life to be with you! I'm willing to do anything for you!!" Starfire said and her cheeks were stained with tears.
"I wish you would understand Starfire, I just can't be with you...." Robin said and Starfire sank to her knees.
"Why can't you understand I want to be with you no matter what Robin?!?!" Starfire yelled and she buried her face in her hands. Robin took one last look at her and disappeared....
End of flashback
Four years, five months, and six days since the day Robin had disappeared. Nothing had gone right after. Starfire had locked herself up and wanted nothing to do with any other boys. She almost killed herself the day after Robin had disappeared. It was lucky Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy where there to catch her as she fell. Starfire had cried her eyes out for days, and nothing would cheer her up. She had gotten over the fact that Robin was never coming back. Starfire was so cold now and she still wanted nothing to do with any other boys because she was scared that they would turn out just like Robin. When she finally revealed her feelings they would suddenly say they couldn't be together and disappear. Raven walked into the common room and saw Starfire sitting on the couch watching TV. Her eyes looked glassy.
"Hey Star, what's up? You seem to have something on your mind" Raven said in her normal toneless voice as she sat down next to Starfire. Starfire glanced at her and said nothing at all.
"Nothing is bothering me friend" Starfire said in her now toneless voice also.
"Star, we're friends right?" Raven asked and Starfire nodded.
"Then we can tell each other things" Raven said and Starfire turned back to the TV. Raven gave up, she just couldn't get her alien friend to talk. Starfire was so down in the dumps ever since Robin had left. Raven sighed, someday her alien friend would come to her senses and talk to somebody.... But just when was someday?
"Robin, wherever you are, you've made the biggest mistake of your life" Raven whispered so she could only hear.....
With Robin....
"ROBIN!!!" Bruce yelled and Robin stopped training to talk to him.
"What?"
"Bad news, I'm going on a trip and you'll be here alone for about a month or so" Bruce said and Robin nodded.
"That's not very bad news at all" Robin said and started training again.
"So when are you leaving?" Robin asked
"Tonight, I'm leaving in about an hour or so" Bruce said and Robin nodded. Maybe he should go back and visit the titans. Starfire wouldn't be mad anymore would she? It had been a long time since he saw her and he didn't know if she had returned back to her home or stayed on Earth. Bruce walked out of the room and left Robin to his own thoughts. He finally made up his mind and decided to go visit the titans for old times sake.... Little did he know that he was going to get a very cold welcoming from the person he missed most....
In the T tower....
Starfire was flipping through the channels while everybody was watching her. Starfire looked at everybody with a confused look on her face.
"Why are you watching me?" Starfire asked and everybody snapped out of the mode and started to do their own things. Starfire shrugged and quickly went back to watching TV. She watched a show that was strange to her, but was so familiar to what had happened between her and Robin.
"I don't love you! I can't be with you no matter what Susie!!" A man that was tall dark and handsome said.
"John please, I love you! I want to be with you forever! Why can't you understand?!?!" Susie said and the man turned away from the girl.
"We can't be together Susie, that's all and that's final!!" John yelled.
Starfire threw the remote at the TV causing it to break. Starfire felt tears coming down her face and she ran up to her room.
"WHY COULDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER AND NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTED ROBIN!!!" Starfire yelled and threw herself on her bed. She had wanted to be with Robin forever, but Robin had to be so goddamn stupid and push her off. No way was she taking him back after what he had done to her.
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO GODDAMN STUPID ROBIN?!?!" Starfire yelled and this time it made the other titans come running to her door.
"Starfire, are you alright?!" Beast Boy asked
"Of course I'm alright" Starfire said bitterly. She had turned so cold after Robin rejected her and now she even was colder then Raven.
"Star, we're going out for pizza, would you like to come?" Cyborg asked and the door slid open. The three outside the door fell in because they were leaning on the door. They brushed themselves off and the four of them together walked out the door. It was a couple hours until they came home. The lights were all shut off and there was no sound when they entered the T tower. Raven turned on the lights. Everybody yawned because it had been a long night.
"Well today was fun wasn't it?" Cyborg asked and they all heard a sound. They saw something moving in the shadows and everybody got ready to attack it.
"It's good to see you again" The figure said and walked out from the shadows. Starfire gasped.....
