Starfire was no longer the innocent naïve girl she once was since the titans disbanded. There was no more crime. The criminals either turned their life around or permanently went to jail. She was doing well for herself. When she first stepped out into the world she didn't know what to do. There wasn't much she could do. The only thing she did know was how to cook her alien food so she did. She had her own restaurant called Star's Delights. Starfire had finally learned to merge human food into the cooking skills as well. Her sister and her ran the restaurant together nicely.
On the day the titans disbanded Starfire got a call from her sister. At first she thought she broke out of jail again and was looking for another fight to start. However after meeting with her she realized she had changed and fixed as many sins as she could. Blackfire also told her she wished to make earth her home as well. That is if Starfire would allow it. None the less Starfire agreed happy to see her sister changed.
The titans agreed that a couple times out of the year that they would meet up and see how each other were doing. Starfire had missed every meeting up till now. She planned on going to the upcoming reunion. She would always come with up the courage but change her mind at the last minute. She was afraid of seeing Raven. She has loved her since the first time she saw her but would never confess. She was afraid of the girl rejecting her and not wanting to be friends anymore. She decided that it was finally time to stop running and Blackfire had also threatened her into going.
Since defeating her father. Raven was more in control of her emtions. They were no longer separated and she finally felt a little more normal. When the titans split up her and her best friend Jinx moved in together. They were both bartenders at a local night club called Desire. It was an ok job with nice pay and that's what she liked about it. She had let her hair grow longer and Jinx had stopped putting hers in horns and let in hang in its natural wavy way. Over the years the two girls had become inseparable.
When the team split up she was going to confess to Star but could not. Star had to leave in a hurry. She waited for the girl to come back. She was greeted by an overly happy woman. The thought of someone else claiming Starfires heart crossed her mind. She felt her heart shatter and she swallowed her pain and told her goodbye. Raven was still very much in love with Starfire. She was angry with herself for that because she thought if Starfire is happy with someone then why can't she be to.
Today was Jinx's birthday and they both had saved up enough money to go Star's Delights. It was a very expensive and popular restaurant that they've both have been dying to go to. The two finally were ready and headed to their destination.
Starfire was greeting a very important customer when a flow of violet caught her attention. Excusing herself from the table she followed what she had seen. Her heart was in her throat as she rounded the corner and saw Raven and Jinx at a table.
"Raven?" She called out walking up to the table.
Raven stiffened from the voice she heard and slowly looked up towards Starfire. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
"This is my restaurant." Starfire said pulling a chair up next to Raven's.
Raven face palmed "Of course hints the name." She said laughing lightly.
"You still have an amazing laugh" Starfire barely whispered.
Raven blushed slightly then changed the subject. "Even if this is your restaurant don't just come strolling over here being all friendly when you have been avoiding us for like forever." Raven said a little annoyed.
"I am sorry and I will explain it later when we talk privately." Starfire said smiling softly.
"What you need to explain is why you left in such a hurry that day? And us talk privately?" Raven asked trying to hold up her glare and not blush madly.
"I believe that would be my fault dear raven."
All three girls turned to see Blackfire walking up to the table. Jinx's jaw dropped when she saw the gorgeous woman approaching. "My dearest apologizes Raven but I had changed and I needed my sisters help please do not be mad at her." She said pulling up a chair next to Jinx.
"Um it's alright. I just wasn't aware that's all." Raven said.
"Hello I don't think we've met before my name is Blackfire and yours?" Blackfire asked extending a hand towards Jinx.
"J-jinx" Jinx said stuttering getting embarrassed.
"Well Jinx you have very pretty eyes and amazing hair." Blackfire said winking at her. Jinx blushed and looked away. "I am sorry but I have to go I just couldn't leave without saying something to you." She said getting up and kissing Jinx's hand. Sliding her number towards her "You should definitely call. I will make it worth it." She said turning and leaving.
Starfire got up also sliding her card to Raven. "I will see you this weekend at the tower. And you look beautiful with long hair." She said sliding a few loose strands behind Raven's ear before smiling and leaving.
Both girls sat there blushing looking at the numbers they were given. They looked up at each other then burst out in laughing. "What just happened?" Jinx asked shaking her head.
"Well I think you have a future date with blackfire."
"That may be so but why did you not tell Starfire that you are still madly in love with her?"
"I will when the time is right?" Raven said looking at the menu.
Blackfire waited for her sister as she told the two other girls waiter that their food is on the house. "Well did you tell her?" Blackfire asked an approaching Starfire.
"No it's not the right time but Jinx?"
"She has caught my eye and she is adorable." Blackfire said still looking at the table before opening the door for her sister. Starfire smiled before walking in and getting down to business.
Raven was going through her closet. She wanted to impress Starfire. The girl didn't get to notice how nicely her body had filled out. She came across a light red dress that looked too tight. She didn't want to come off desperate. Once her clothing was out of the way she went off to do something with her hair. Thinking loose curls would do the trick.
Jinx found a black summer dress that would hug her figure nicely and still flow in the wind. She went in the bathroom and saw Raven curling her hair. After staring at themselves in the mirror for a few minutes. They smiled at each other and linked arms squealing about how awesome tonight will be.
Starfire and Blackfire both decided to go casual. While trying to dress to impress. Starfire settled on a white polo and pants and blackfire a hot pink button down and pants. They smiled at each other as they headed out of their apartment.
As everyone arrived greetings were thrown out there and everyone slowly broke apart. Robin was idly talking to Starfire who was not listening but still gave short replies trying to be nice. Her attention was on Raven who had Beast boy idly taking to her. Beast boy thought he was doing something right since the girl was blushing. The blush wasn't for him just like Starfires smile wasn't for robin. They hadn't really stopped looking at each other since they arrived. They were growing tired of their male companions but they were still their friends. Starfire excused herself after a while.
"Hello Beast boy mind if I still this little bird from you?" Starfire asked.
"Nope you can have her." He said smiling before walking off to Robin.
Starfire offered her arm they wanted towards the hallway. "You look very beautiful tonight." Starfire said stopping to circle her.
Raven blushed she felt like she was on display but didn't mind. "Your pretty breath taking yourself." Raven said taking her arm again. They walked down the hall in silence for a min.
"Do you miss this place?" Raven asked not turning to her.
"I do but then I don't." Starfire answred.
"Why?" Raven asked trying not to sound a little upset.
"My heart was always soaring high or either breaking apart slowly everyday because I could not tell the person I loved how I felt."
"Who was that person?" Raven asked as she stopped walking. Starfire put her forehead against hers as she let the walls she built against the little empath fall away. Then suddenly Raven felt every emotion Starfire had for her from the very beginning. Starfire pulled away a little too look at her.
Raven started crying and Starfire was shocked feeling a little hurt. "I love you too Kory." She in between sobs. "It was so painful not being able to tell you because of my powers. Then when I had control over them you disappeared on me. You never answered my calls and I couldn't sense you. I only knew you were alive because you called here to cancel. All this time I've been trying to forget you because I thought you were happy with someone else." Raven said as she cried into Starfires chest. She let her stay there till she was calm then they went into starfires old room.
Blackfire had been standing against the wall for a while now watching Jinx. She looked amazing and wanted to tell her but didn't want to be rude to Cyborg. For one she didn't even know if Jinx was gay. She saw her blush and look at the floor. Blackfire feeling spark of jealousy sighed walking out to the balcony and sat on the rail. She was up looking at the stairs til she heard someone step outside.
"I thought you had ran away." Jinx said looking at the sky.
"No I just couldn't keep watching you blush for your boyfriend." She said sarcastically.
Jinx threw a hex at Blackfires head and sent her flipping of the rail. She flew back up holding her head "The hell was that for?" She asked angrily.
"Because you were too stupid to notice." She said looking at the ground. Blackfire then noticed her blushing and glaring at the floor. "How can I not blush when a gorgeous mysterious woman is staring at me. The same woman who didn't even come up to me and say anything but has no problem standing back and checking me out and expects me not to blush." She finished only pouting a little.
Blackfire chuckled a little "I'm sorry I wasn't sure if you were really into woman. I was also trying not to interrupt you guy's conversation I didn't want to be rude."
"I never heard a word he said." They looked at each other then burst out laughing.
"You look absolutely amazing in that dress." She said as the wind blew a little. "And your hair is as lovely as ever."
"You look stunning as well." Jinx said smiling.
"Would you like to go back inside now?"
"Not really and I don't want to go home yet. Is there somewhere you would like to go?"
"Not really I'm sorry. I was up pretty late last night. Would you like to go back to our apartment and watch tv and talk some more?"
"That sounds nice." Jinx said smiling.
Raven sat down in Starfire's lap and played with her fingers. They set there just enjoying each other's company. They had just confessed. "So what now?" Raven asked looking into Starfires eyes.
"You become mines of course." She said as held her cheek and pulled her into a sweet loving kiss that was long over do.
