Summary: Starfire leaves the Titans, reason unknown, without any sort of goodbye. Eleven years later, the Titans go on a mission and end up finding an unconscious woman and her daughter. They have no choice but to take her back to the tower to help her recover from her injuries. What past might this woman hold? Is it true she could be the long lost Titan?
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the Teen Titans.
This is my first fanfic. Of Teen Titans. Not in general. Di that make sense? Oh well. Oh, and flames will be used to burn my homework, which I will blame on stupid flamers.

Tears fell from Starfire's eyes as she snapped the clasp on her backpack. She looked around her once vibrant and colorful room, now bare and bleak.
She wiped a few stray tears from her eyes, slipping it around her shoulders. She would leave no note, no sort of communiqué.
She rechecked her closet, made sure she left nothing behind, and readjusted her jeans. She had to make sure no one would recognize her in the real world. If they did, she was in for real trouble.
She made sure her communicator was offline before throwing open her window and flying out into the crisp night air.
Starfire wasn't sure where she was going yet. She had no planned living arrangements. In fact, she barely even knew the basics of living on her own on this strange planet her friends called Earth.
A nearby night owl hooted it's solitary song. Hands grasped her upper arms; her own. She was shivering from the cold, only wearing a baggy black tank top and baggy jeans.
Starfire sniffed back a few more tears as she flew on, searching for any sign of human hospitality; anyone who might take a lost girl in at this time of night.

"CHEATER!" Beast Boy and Cyborg shouted at each other, unaware of all that had transpired in one young alien's room in the past half hour.
Robin snorted rather uncharacteristically. "You two always say that, and each time it's only because you're both sore losers."
"He rammed his car into mine!" Beast Boy shouted, reaching a leg out and kicking Cyborg's metal arm with it.
"Did not! You rammed yours into mine!" Cyborg countered. Beast Boy growled ferociously.
"You two are the most immature beings to ever grace this planet," Raven stated monotonously, secretly watching the battle from over the top of her book. She wouldn't admit it, but Beast Boy actually had her interested in video games.
"You know you love us," Beast Boy stated, grinning widely.
"Keep telling yourself that," she responded, her eyes returning to her strange language text.
"I will, thank you very much," Beast Boy responded.
"Where's Starfire?" Raven asked, changing the subject abruptly. "I haven't seen her in at least an hour."
"She said she was going to lay down. I hope nothing's wrong," Robin responded worriedly, seemingly more preoccupied than he normally would be.
"Why so jumpy, Robin?" Cyborg asked. "You seem like something's…I don't know…bothering you."
Robin bit his lip. Should he tell them the secret he had hid from all of them for the past two weeks?
"No, I'm just worried about her. I'm going to go check up on her," he replied. "Make sure she's ok." Robin stood from his seat on the couch, which was quickly dominated by Beast Boy. It seems Cyborg had kicked him there in attempts to distract him from his game.
"So childish," Robin muttered as he left the living room.
He made his way down the hallways, contemplating many things.
What if she…? Robin shook his head. No, that wouldn't happen. It was only once, right?
Robin quickened his pace ever-so-slightly, wanting to get there faster. Something was wrong. He could feel it.
He reached Starfire's room. The door swished open, and everything seemed normal. Except, of course, that she wasn't in it. In fact, none of her stuff was.
Robin panicked. He ran to her closet, slung it open, and found none of her slothes or assorted knickknacks within it. He pulled his communicator from his belt.
"Titans, get down to Starfire's room. QUICK!" he nearly screamed. He paced around, waiting the thirty seconds it took until he heard the pounding metal footsteps of Cyborg, the light swoosh of Raven, and Beast Boy's rather obvious stumbling.
"What is it?" All three Titans asked, appearing in Starfire's doorway.
"Starfire's gone."

Starfire had met a nice couple on the outskirts of Jump City. They were generous enough to allow her to stay in their spare room. Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan were their names. They were an elderly couple, most likely ecstatic to have company other than their selves in their home.
Starfire lay in the musky, wood-carved bed they had let her use. She had changed into a pair of sweatpants they had lent her to sleep in, and kept on her same black tank-top.
As much as she wanted to cry again, she knew she couldn't. She had to be strong. She had to be strong for herself, the Titans, and most of all, Robin.
She ran her hand across her abdomen. She had to be strong for her soon-to-be baby girl, Moonfire.
Ok, that's it. Chapter one. I know it's short, but I will update tomorrow most likely. Please review!
