Ok, another new story. This time, a Teen Titan Fanfic! So this is set after Trouble in Tokyo. I've read a lot of stories that involve Starfire leaving the Titans, usually a reason involving Robin. So I would like to make a story like that. Hope you enjoy!
Past Mistake.
Ch.1
The Teen Titans, Jump City's greatest heroes, Tokyo's as well, are now arriving home, with a new couple is in the house. Robin and Starfire couldn't have been happier, when they could find time for each other that is.
The first thing they did, even when they got to the tower, was catch a criminal. Dr. Light broke in to a power plant. After they threw him in jail, they found out that he stole more than electricity. They had to return, jewelry, money, diamonds and gold, and anything else rich and expensive. While the four Titans were returning all of that, Robin had stayed home and did research on the crimes they missed.
So far they needed to find Control Freak, Gizmo, and Cinderblock. And it was safe to say, Robin was getting very frustrated. Every time Starfire tried to calm him down, or when the rest of the titans asked her to get him to take a break, he would snap at her, and a few times she ran off crying.
He would apologize, but she knew he didn't fully mean it, because if he did he wouldn't do it so much. One time Raven had to talk to her instead, to get her to calm down and not do anything rash. But the worst one was today. A little while before, they were trying to catch Control Freak and there was a small slip-up.
Robin was attacking Control Freak, while everyone else was fighting his minions from his remote control. When there wasn't anything else for Starfire to fight against, she decided she would help Robin out. But when she went to throw a starbolt at him, but Robin jumped in front of it at the wrong time, and the ball of heat hit him instead. And instead of going after Control Freak, she went to check on Robin. After that, Robin was past furious, he was pissed. After that, at the tower, wasn't that great either.
"What were you thinking?! Why didn't you go after him? This is all your fault!" Robin yelled at her. Starfire was stunned into silence; guilt, fear and shock are never a good combination.
"Hey lay off man, it wasn't her fault. Who knew Control Freak gained some reflexes while we were gone. Besides she was just seeing if you were ok." Cyborg told him, he didn't like that Robin was yelling at Star for something so small. Anyone could have made the mistake.
"Yea dude, your being a jerk." Beast Boy said. Starfire was the most innocent one on the team, it's not like she shot Robin on purpose. And she even apologized! Why can't he just accept it?
"But our job is to protect the city and put bad guys in jail! She let the bad gut get away! How could you be so stupid Starfire! Ugh, you are a troq!" After he said that word, there was a loud slap that rang through out the room. When Robin looked up, he immediately regretted it. Starfire looked at him with tears in her eyes, chest heaving in fury and looked as if she was swallowing what seemed like a million sobs at a time.
"Star I-" Robin started, but she ran out of the room, tears streaming down her face, not looking at him, before he could finish. Raven chased after her, trying to stop and talk to her.
"Nice going lover boy" Cyborg said through gritted teeth, while he and Beast Boy both glared daggers. Robin hurt Star, and star was like a sister to both Cyborg and BB. Right now they really did want to kill Robin, especially since he knew how much the word troq meant to her.
Starfire flew to her room as fast as she could. When she reached her room, she slammed the door shut and punched in the lock code. She didn't want to see anyone right now, not like this.
How could Robin call her a troq? After he knew how much that word hurt her! Suddenly someone was pounding on her door. Several times.
"Starfire! Let me in! Come on Star; let me in, talk to me!" Raven yelled through the door.
"Please, friend Raven, go away! I do not wish to do the talking right now! Starfire yelled between her sobs.
"Please Star; I'm sure he didn't mean it! You know Robin, he lets his anger take over and loses it!" Raven tried to keep her talking. "Please Starfire just let me in, even if it's only for a few minutes." Raven heard numbers being dialed, and the sound of the door swoosh open.
"Oh Raven!" Starfire cried hugging the other girl. Raven knew how bad Starfire must be hurting, so she let her emotions show; in all honesty she always let her emotions show with Starfire.
It was about midnight when Raven walked out into the common room. She wasn't all that surprised to find out the boys were still awake, probably wondering about Starfire.
"How is she?" Robin asked, standing. He knew he screwed up; he wouldn't blame Star if she never forgave him.
"Really confused and pissed off at you." Raven said, glaring at him a little.
"Dammit. Maybe I should go talk to her, apologize." Robin said, starting to walk towards the doors.
"That will have to wait until the morning, she's asleep right now." Raven said, putting a hand to his chest to stop him. Robin scrunched his eyebrows together, but agreed nonetheless.
*With Starfire*
Raven left when she thought Starfire was asleep. But, the truth was, she only pretended to be asleep, so she could be alone. They spent a good two-three hours talking. Starfire was exhausted, but she couldn't sleep now. She had to pack. She couldn't live with herself if Robin thought she was worthless. So she decided she would leave.
She went to her closet and packed all of her uniforms and some normal clothes the team got her for her birthday. Then she went over to her nightstand. She opened up her jewelry box and took out all her necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. When she made sure she got it all, she closed the doors and packed the box. Normally she wouldn't have but it was important to her because Cyborg made it especially for her, dark purple painted wood, with a green star surrounded by fire on the top.
After that, she noticed the pictures she had hanging around her mirror and the frames next to it. She packed all of that, and her essentials; hairbrush, hair ties and clips.
She went to her desk and packed the rest of her photos and personal possessions. After she finished packing everything in her room, she sat down at her desk, grabbed a pen and piece of paper, and started writing.
Dear friends,
I am very sorry, but I can not stay any longer. After the fight with Robin, I decided that the fight was my fault and I should not be on the team any longer.
Cyborg, you are like my brother, and I am very grateful that I got to get to know you. I understand how you say the old you is the original version, but I do like you how you are now. The man I know today is the original version.
Beast Boy, you are also like a brother to me. I find you very funny, even though I do not always get your jokes. Anyways, I know when we are down, you would make us laugh, which is always the greatest.
Raven, you are my best friend and a better sister to me than Blackfire ever was. I will miss you dearly. I hope you will be able to open up and let your emotions show, like you could with me. One day I hope to see you again soon.
And finally, Robin, you are my best friend, and my love. Yes, I love you. But the incident last night showed me you do not share my feelings. I am sorry I made a mistake on the mission yesterday; I just wanted to see if you were alright, and I did not hurt you. You do not have to worry about me messing up again. I love you all, and hope for the best for your future.
Love,
Starfire.
Once she was done, she picked up the note and left it on her pillow. She picked up Silkie, tucked him into the bed and gave him a goodbye kiss. She walked over to the code module next to her door and unlocked it. Finally, taking once last look around the room, she went to her window, opened it up and flew out, not looking back.
Starfire didn't know how long she had been flying, but she knew it had to be a while because she knew it, she was in Gotham. She had to find a place to stay for the night because she saw storm clouds rolling in and heard a rumble of thunder. She landed on a building roof, exhausted. She hasn't slept since the night before, and it was almost morning!
"Starfire?" A strange voice asked from the shadows. She whipped her head around; afraid it was a villain that followed her. But when the man stepped out of the shadows, it was the famous Batman. She remembered Robin telling her that Batman was actually Bruce Wayne, his adoptive father.
"Batman?" She gasped. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I could ask you the same thing. Why aren't you at the tower, what happened?" He asked her; afraid something happened to Robin and his friends.
"Oh, well… Your son, he is a… a vloth rosh ceptar!" She yelled. He looked at her quizzically, but understood that it couldn't be good if she yelled it.
"Here, come sit with me." He led her to the edge of the building. "Now, tell me what happened." He said sincerely. As she told him, as she started to tear up.
"Well, you have quite a problem here. You don't want to go back to the tower do you?" She shook her head no. "Well than you can stay with me in Wayne Manor until you can get back on your feet." He stood up and held out his hand for her.
"Oh but I could not!" She exclaimed, shocked.
"Why not? Its not like I don't know you, you're a friend, of course you can stay with me." He said, not leaving room for an argument. She nodded and grabbed her suitcase. Together, they went off to Wayne Manor together.
*Next Morning at Titans Tower*
Robin was walking down the hall to go see Starfire. He had to apologize or she would never forgive him.
He knocked on the door. "Star? You in there?" He asked. Silence. That's all he got. "Star, please open the door. I have to explain. I'm so sorry." He said through the door. "Can I come in?" He asked the silence. He opened up the door, and when he did, he saw that Starfire was gone. All her things were gone; the only thing left was her furniture, and a note. He read the note and gasped, dropping it.
"Oh Star, what have I done to you?" Robin asked to the empty room. He ran out of the room to tell the other Titans what was going on. He made a huge mistake.
