Chapter 1
The Teen Titans had another normal day. In the morning, Cyborg and Beast Boy argued over whether to use tofu or regular eggs. Raven fixed herself a cup of herbal tea. What wasn't usual, though, was the knock on the door, which Robin went to answer.
Two men dressed in uniform, one tall and thin, the other large and burly, towered over Robin, casting dark shadows upon him. But Robin wasn't intimidated; after all, he had fought off villains twice as large. "Any reason for you to come to Titans Tower?" asked Robin.
"Yes," answered the large, burly man, who looked at a clipboard. "We are looking for Starfire. Is she here?"
"She's here. Why?"
The large burly man turned to his partner and whispered. "Should we tell him? He's not going to like the answer…"
The thinner man whispered back. "They've got to face the truth sooner or later, so let's just tell them." Then he turned back to Robin. "Actually, can we talk to all of the team? It's something you should all hear."
"Sure!" replied Robin. Robin turned back into the tower and the door automatically shut in the two men's faces. Robin started back up the stairs and met Starfire. "Who was at the door?" she asked. "We'll find out soon," said Robin.
Robin walked back up the stairs to find Cyborg and Beast Boy still arguing. "Titans!" Robin raised his voice to be heard over the argument. "The police are at the door and they want to see all of us!"
Cyborg and Beast Boy stopped arguing and came out of the kitchen. Everyone was still hungry, since breakfast was nowhere in sight. "Who was it?" asked Cyborg. "I don't know," answered Robin. All five Titans came back down the stairs to answer the door.
The two men were still there. "Actually, can we come in?" inquired the bigger man. "Okay," Robin shrugged. "Now you can talk."
"We're agents of the Immigration and Naturalization Service," explained the bigger man. "We have learned of the presence of an illegal immigrant at Titans Tower." Robin realized what he meant and gasped in shock.
"Illegal immigrant?" questioned Beast Boy. "Where?"
The thinner uniformed man stepped up. "We were informed that some time ago, a young woman named Starfire illegally entered the United States. Now, in accordance with the law of the United States of America, we are here to deport her back to her home country."
The bigger man saw the two female Titans. "Now which of you is Starfire?" he asked, knowing that it had to be one of them, because Robin had previously admitted that Starfire was at home.
The thinner man correctly pointed Starfire out. "I think you're coming with us," he boomed, suddenly slapping a pair of handcuffs on her with unexpected speed.
