Robin opened his eyes groggily, yawning and sitting up. He looked around, the Sun was still under the radar and Robin tried to decide whether he should sleep again or not. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes lightly. He pulled himself out of the warmth of his bed and stepped out of his bedroom. He blew his hair out of his face, annoyed that it wasn't gelled yet. He trudged into the bathroom and looked at the mirror. His face was tired, but fine. He grabbed some hair gel and spiked his hair as normal. The door knocked softly and he heard a small girlish yawn. Robin grinned.

"whoever is occupying the bathroom can you please make with the haste? My hair is in need of the washing," Starfire called sleepily. Robin chuckled. He wandered to the door and opened it. Starfire smiled at him.

"good morning Robin, i trust you slept well?" she asked, fluffing Robin's hair carefully. Robin felt his cheeks slightly warm.

"yeah, how about-" suddenly there was a loud bang off the shore and the two fell to the floor.

"are these explosions normal on your planet?" Starfire asked. Robin clenched his teeth, hearing running footsteps. Cyborg, Raven and Beastboy turned the corner incidentally tripped over Robin and Starfire.

"yo, watch it guys," Cyborg barked. Starfire flew over to them.

"our apologies, where is the attack?" she chimed sweetly. Raven pointed towards the window across the hall. There was smoke rising from an area in the forest.

"over there, though if you ask me it doesn't look much like an attack," Raven muttered quietly.

The team arrived at the forest quickly, Beastboy placed Robin down and morphed back into a person, and Starfire placed Cyborg down, Raven landing behind her. Starfire gasped and flew forward. There was fire everywhere and a huge crater where a ship had crashed. Robin took hold of her arm when she tried to get a closer look. Starfire faced him, a serious look on her face.

"are you not capable of trusting me?" she asked. The two glared lightly at one another. Robin sighed and looked to the floor for a moment and the reluctantly released her arm.

"just be careful," he muttered. Starfire smiled and nodded, heading into the crashed ship. There was silence for a few moments and then Starfire gasped loudly and a figure jumped out of the ship and landed in front of the four. As soon as the figure landed the team all glared in anger, grouping together defensively.

"Valior," they growled. Valior was watching them seriously, looking tired. Seconds later a green light appeared, and Starfire flew out of the crash and regrouped with her friends. Robin and Cyborg motioned Starfire behind them.

"Teen Titans," Valior boomed, "Valior needs your help," he emphasized his name, making the team roll their eyes in annoyance. Starfire flew over the titan's heads and stood in front of them.

"Valior, you are not welcome here and we are not coming to your aid," she barked angrily, her eyes glowing and starbolts forming at her fists. Valior scowled at her in disgust and shoved her backwards hard.

"i didn't ask for your help, Troq," he yelled, icicles practically forming around him. Starfire glared at him darkly. Robin stepped forward and took Starfire's hand, squeezing it for reassurance. They exchanged a glance and then Robin turned to Valior.

"you asked for the Teen Titans help," he reminded, "Starfire, is one of the Teen Titans," he told Valior protectively. Valior growled.

"and why do you even think we'd help you after what you said to Star and us," Cyborg shouted. Valior ignored him and then shrieked in pain and doubled over in pain. The titans all exchanged looks and surrounded the writhing alien. Starfire's anger disappeared and she suddenly felt sympathy.

"let me help you, Valior," she breathed softly. Valior growled and batted her away.

"i don't need help from a stupid, worthless, Troq, all you'll do, all you always do is make things worse!" he shouted at her. Starfire pulled back, glared down at him and felt her throat clog up. She stood and flew off.

"wait, Star!" Robin called, running after her. Cyborg grabbed his arm firmly. Robin glared at him, "let me go!" he barked.

"your the one who said she could handle herself," Cyborg reminded.

"did she look like she was okay?" Robin demanded, pulling himself free and running after Starfire.

Starfire sat on the roof of the titans tower. She stared out at the Sunrise, her eyes and throat hurting from holding back tears. She sighed in sadness. How could she still be thought of as a nobody, as nothing. All she had ever wanted to do was help, maybe that was why he thought of her as weak. She heard the roof door open and turned to see Robin walk in, panting as lightly as he could. She knew he had worried about her, and that was all that mattered.

"forgive me," she sighed. Robin sat down next to her.

"for what? Valior is the one who should need to apologize," he said. Starfire glanced at him for a moment.

"do you think i am," she hesitated, "worthless?" she said. Robin was taken aback.

"worthless? Starfire your worth more than anything in world to me," he cooed, putting an arm across her shoulders. Starfire looked at Robin, her cheeks burning.

"besides, i thought you said it doesn't matter what he says, i thought you said you only listen to the opinions of people who don't judge you by how you look or where you're from," Robin added. Starfire pushed his arm off her and stood up.

"although it was different before i heard the hatred in Valior's voice, he was being truthful and i feel confused distraught and lost, i am needing to go indoors," she tried to fight back tears, failing miserably. She ran inside and downstairs. Robin stayed outside. He sighed

"how could someone do that to her," he growled.
