The sun had begun to set over Titan's Tower as Starfire went to the roof. She brushed her auburn hair behind her ear and looked into the colored sky that had fascinated her so much. A breeze rolled by, making the small bag on her back move against her. Tears welled up in her emerald eyes as she shuddered, flying a few feet above the ground. "Goodbye" She muttered, "I will miss you."
"Where do you think you're going?" Robin asked, walking over, his face, even through the mask, showing concern.
"My planet is going through a terrible war." Starfire explained, shocked at his appearance, "I must do what is right for my people." She hung her head, eyes softening.
"And you'd just go without saying goodbye, I thought, since Tokyo." The Boy Wonder said, gently tugging her arm.
She floated back onto the roof, "It was genuine, and I am experiencing the heart break from having to leave." The Tameranian spoke softly, her hand touching her arm, "I thought the heart break would worsen from saying goodbye."
"How long will you be gone?" Robin asked, taking her hand and looking into her eyes.
"That I am unsure." Starfire explained, looking to the setting sky, "It is a terrible war, I…" She paused, "I may never return from it."
His eyes became wide, "You can't go!" He said with a panicked tone, "If it'll put you in danger I can't let you!"
"Robin." She moved her hands to his shoulders, "I must." She smiled sadly and kissed him on the cheek before bolting into the air where the Boy Wonder couldn't stop her.
