This story was inspired by a headcannon posted by blanddcheadcannons on tumblr in which on one Earth, Koriand'r was adopted by Clark Kent when she came to Earth and became his side kick of sorts. Note, for Robin, I decided to use his comic personality rather than the bit-more-Batman-like that Teen Titans uses. Also, in this, they're a bit younger than they were when they formed the Titans.
I do not own the Teen Titans or any DC characters mentioned.

"Bruce! Can I go to the Watchtower with you?" A young Dick Grayson flipped and swung around the Batcave, making his way toward Bruce, who was suiting up.
Bruce frowned, pulling his cowl onto his head. "Not today, Dick. It's only a meeting. Nothing much."
"It's not like I have much else to do here," He gestured to the empty cave in a sweeping motion with his hand.
"I do believe Master Dick won't relent, "Alfred stepped into the cave carrying a tray.
Bruce sighed as he attached his utility belt. "Fine. Five minutes, then we leave."

"Alright, Kory, what do you think of the Watchtower?" Clark asked the girl as they walked down one of the long corridors. Starfire was looking out the giant windows.
"It is wonderful!" She cheered happily, taking the the sight of space. It was her first time visiting, and she was amazed. She had already met a few of Superman's closest allies—Wonder Woman a few times, and she had even said, that when Starfire was older, she'd be more than happy to spare with her considering Starfires people were warriors, same as the Amazons. Starfire had become friends with Wonder Girl, Donna Troy, who worked along side Wonder Woman, too.
She had also met the Flash, and his protege, Kid Flash, a few times. He was witty, impulsive, and to her, silly. Starfire had seen other of the main seven a few times, though never spoke to many others.
One of those members was Batman, when she was on a few missions with Superman they had stumbled upon him a few times, and whenever Clark went out and Kory asked where he was heading, he'd openly say, "Meeting with Bruce."
Although, Starfire had never met his ward. She had heard some stories about him from Clark, and that there was a chance she might meet him today, considering Batman often took him with.
Starfire loved meeting other young heroes, so she was quite excited when she learned that she might meet Robin.
"Come on, let's go," Superman put his hand on the girls shoulder as he gently ushered her to continue down the hall.
The two aliens made their way through the Watchtower until they arrived at the meeting group that that heart of the Justice League frequently met at.
"Do you mind staying out here? It's kind of boring in there, anyway," He joked. Kory nodded, and moved over to lean against the wall. Just as Superman walked in, she noticed Green Lantern seated at the large table, and a few other members, but before she could confirm who was there, the door shut.
"But Batman," Starfire looked down the other hallway. Batman and Robin.
"Not today, Robin."
"You say that every time."
"I'm aware."
"Fine," The Bot Wonder let out a breath of air.
As they approached the door, Starfire looked away as Batman turned to his protege. "Stay out here. Go talk to Wally, even, you know your way around." And with that, the Dark Knight walked through the door back.
Robin sighed, putting the back of his head against the wall and closing his masked eyes, obviously not noticing the curious girl.
After a few minutes of an awkward silence with the boy still deep in though, Starfire spoke up, "Hello," she offered.
Robin looked at her, startled. He shook himself off before meekly saying, "Oh, sorry, hi."
"You are Robin, yes?" She asked.
He nodded. "Yeah," he said. He took in her appearance. Her long fiery red hair, orange skin, and green eyes. "And you're... Starfire, right?"
"Yes," she responded, sticking her hand out. Robin took it.
He had heard stories about her before—escaped from an enemy alien ship. He racked his mind for information. She was from Tameran. Superman came to her aid when he saw her handcuffed and wrecking Metropolis. Together, they drove away the aliens. He "adopted" her soon after as Clark Kent, and took her to be his sidekick: Starfire.
Bruce had told him that Superman had taken on a partner, but he neglected to mention that she was drop dead gorgeous.
Apparently he must've been starting, because Starfire shifted slightly to avoid his gaze. He quickly snapped out of it, and awkwardly said, "Its nice to meet you."
"It is nice to meet you, as well."
After a few moments of quiet, he decided to speak up in an attempt to make conversation.
"So," he started, "What's it like working with Superman?"
Starfire looked at him, smiling, "Oh, it is wonderful and very exc—"
She was cut off by a gust of wind created by a boy in yellow and red.
"Hey, guys! How's it going?" Kid Flash.
"Kid, there's no need to speed up," Flash walked up behind him, sighing. "You're staying out here, anyway."
Kid Flash stuck his lip out in a pouty motion. "But—"
"Stay. Here." Flash said. "Robin, Starfire." He greeted as he walked past.
Kid Flash quickly recovered. "Hey, Starfire, Robin, how're you doing?"
"I'm fine, Wally." Robin rolled his eyes.
Kid Flashs eyes widened, and he looked at him urgently, putting his index finger up to his mouth. "Dude! You'll comprise my identity. No offense, of course." He quickly turned to Starfire.
She giggled slightly, "Hello, Kid Flash, and do not worry. Your secret is safe with me." She winked at him.

As more heroes passed through the doors, the three made conversation with one another until the meeting had ended.
Superman came out first, to which Starfire said her goodbyes to the two boys as she walked off with her mentor.
Batman and Flash had told the remaining boys to join them soon, so the two stuck around to talk for a while longer.
"Dude! Starfire's super nice! Not to mention pretty... Wait, hey, Dick! Are you even listening to me?" Kid Flash poked his friend in order to draw his attention back to him.
"Oh, what... Sorry, Wally." He shook his head.
"Man, you're totally crushing on her! You're practically drooling!" He exclaimed.
"I am not." Robin crosses his arms defensively.
"Yeah, right. Sorry dude, but I've known you long enough to tell that you obviously like her!"
"No... Well... Maybe..." Robin looked off dreamily.
Wally laughed, patting his back. "Well, it's not like you'll never see her again. Maybe you should ask her out on a date, eh?"
Robin shook his head. "Batman would never approve."
"Sooo..." Wally said mischievously. "We don't tell him."
He frowned. "Wally, I don't even know if she likes me."
"Only one way to find out!" He cheered, grabbing Dicks arm and speeding off. "Mission to get Dick a date!"

While Robin thought Starfire to be absolutely lovely, she thought the boy to be very handsome, mask and all. Though, quite awkward.
When Kid Flash joined them, she saw him loosen up a bit more. She had heard Batman to be quite cold and guarded, so she supposed his behavior was a result from his mentor.
But she did like him, there was no doubt about that.
She'd heard of his escapades back in Gotham more than a few times, even so considering Clark frequently worked on cases with the Batman. Deep down, Starfire hoped she could possibly work with him one day.
"So, what'd you think of Robin?" Superman brought her out of her thoughts as he spoke up.
"He is very nice," she replied carefully. "Awfully awkward for what I had imagined."
Clark laughed, "Sometimes Batman can't teach everything. How's Wally?"
As they made their way back to the teleporter, Starfire told the man the basics of their conversation. It wasn't very interesting, if she had to comment, nonetheless, it was nice to talk with heroes her own age.

Alright, so this is just gonna be a large story of if Starfire was Superman's apprentice. I actually really like this idea, so prepare for more chapters. I might eventually include the formation of the Titans.
