(With Raven and Robin 10pm)

"With all the fan letters we receive I don't know how Starfire responds to them all," Robin shook his head laughing as he pushed her last bag of mail into the corner of the room.

"She always seems to have the most," Raven agreed using her powers to move the other bags. It was their turn to pick up the fan mail from the post office. A chore neither of them liked. She and Robin rarely read their fan mail, Cyborg did occasionally, Beastboy only read the letters that came from girls, yet Starfire read and responded to almost every single letter.

"I wish letters like these would stop," Robin rolled his eyes as he picked up a letter on top that had vulgar phrases on the envelope itself. Inside the letter, Robin knew it was asking Starfire for inappropriate things as they always did. Robin refused to let her respond to those. He usually helped her sort through her mail when the other Titans weren't looking. He hated the things some of the letters said, it made him sick to think of some of the ideas perverted men had in this city and all their lust seemed aimed at his Star.

"What's that one? Looks like hate mail, that'd be a first for Star." Raven noticed underneath the letter Robin had picked up one that looked more like hate mail than a letter.

"She never gets hate mail; I don't want her reading this." Robin stated tossing the other letter in the trash and picking up the black envelope with red writing all over it telling her to go home and invade some other planet. On the back bold letters spelling D.I.E, and yet at the bottom he read kill yourself or I will.

"Open it, in case we need to act on it," Raven stated as they both huddled around the letter. "It's written about her, not to her," she noted confused. Starfire walked around the corner to ask Raven a question but closed her mouth waiting patiently for the two to finish what they were discussing first.

"She is nothing more than scum, I hate her. She deserves to die and hopefully one day will. Starfire is a poor excuse as a Titan and should probably be kicked off the team." Robin read aloud not knowing she had walked around the corner. Raven was too stunned by the evil and anger she could sense in the letter that she didn't notice Starfire's presence.

"I hope she returns to Tamaran one day, she is of no use to us here." Raven continued where Robin left off. "I hope those aliens who were with her, the day she arrived, come back one day and finish her off." By this part in the letter Starfire was silently backing away, tears pouring from her eyes at what she discovered what her truest friend Raven, along with her leader and crush, Robin thought of her. Starfire ran off for her room leaving Raven and Robin to finish their discussion.

"Die and rid this world of your wicked ways," Robin growled.

"It's unsigned and there is no return address. This doesn't make sense," Raven said, confusion in the air.

"How does the only Titan to never receive hate mail receive the cruelest one I've ever seen?" Robin snapped crumpling the paper in his hand.

"Save that for evidence in case we ever need it. We'll just have to keep an extra eye on her," Raven explained trying to calm the Boy Wonder down. She knew his feelings for her, they radiated off him like fire. She knew he refused to share them for fear of their enemies using her as bait to get to him, but some days the feelings she felt from both of them were overwhelming.

"I never want her to see this, I'll keep it in my personal files." Robin stated with the paper still crushed in his hand.


(WITH STARFIRE)

Starfire had raced back to her room silently crying her eyes out. She could not fly for her heart was far too shattered to do so. She ran into her room letting it shut behind her before she crumbled against it softly sobbing.

"I do not understand. I have defended my friends many times. I have fought with honor and strength. Why do they now have the hate towards me?" She asked herself aloud.

"Is this a bad time?" a familiar voice asked stepping out of the shadows.

"X!" Starfire squeaked, jumping to her feet- starbolts at hand. "You should not have come, I must see you to justice." Starfire's voice was angry.

"He is here on my invitation," another voice surprised her, the man stepping from the shadows.

"The Batman? Why are you here with a criminal? I shall inform Robin of your arrival," she quickly stated pausing as she turned for the door.

"He must not know I am here. I came to talk to you. Red-X is here at my request." Batman told her noticing her slight pause as she turned for the door.

"She'll never leave him," Red-X whispered not sure why Batman insisted that he could easily persuade her to join them.

"I need your help," Batman said softly.

"You request assistance, from me?" She asked turning back towards them.

"Is it true Slade hasn't been in Jump for months?"

"Slade hasn't been seen in Jump in for some time now, that is correct." Starfire answered quietly.

"He has been seen in Gotham and is hard to capture. I want him out of Gotham. I need someone who knows the man." Batman explained.

"Then you should be obtaining your information from Robin I cannot help you as much as he will be able too." Starfire responded not wanting to talk to him. "Besides I take my leave to Tamaran tonight, I am not longer a Titan," she responded; having just decided on impulse.

"Perfect, now you will be working for me. I need you as an ally on this. I think you are a strong warrior and will be very useful at helping me take down Slade. I need you Starfire." Batman said sincerely.

"Yeah, come on cutie. It'll be fun!" Red-X chimed in receiving a sour look from Starfire.

"And I'll keep him under control. I need you Starfire, please." Batman stated as Starfire looked torn.

"You were planning to leave anyway why not stay here with us?" Red-X asked.

"I…I should depart," Starfire stammered moving to her closet but was stopped by Batman's grip on her arm.

"I heard what they said. Starfire, I don't think you are weak. I came here for you because I need you. Please Starfire…Please." Batman begged as he gently held her arm.

"I shall assist you. What must we do?" Starfire asked.

(Noon the next day at the tower)

"Mmmm mornin'," Beastboy shuffled into the living room where Raven was sipping tea, Robin was at the computer researching, and Cyborg was at the game station.

"It's noon," Raven rolled her eyes.

"All the same, I'm ready to eat!" Beastboy announced.

"Bacon in the fridge," Cyborg laughed.

"Dude, are you crazy! I've been those animals!" Beastboy shouted.

"It's noon," Robin said as everyone turned towards his back as he still sat at the computer.

"Rob man, you missed that answer. You feeling okay?" Cyborg asked, pausing his game.

"Did you sleep last night?" Beastboy asked.

"It's noon. Where's Starfire?" Robin asked turning around towards the team.

"She is always up with the sun. She usually goes for her morning flight at dawn." Raven stated.

"Dawn was 6 and a half hours ago," Robin stated standing up.

"Her tracker says she's in her room. Maybe she's feeding Silkie. Don't worry yourself man." Cyborg shook his head as he resumed his game.

"THIS WHOLE FRIDGE SMELLS OF BACON NOW! I'm going to be sick!" Beastboy gagged.

"Don't you throw it out grass stain!" Cyborg yelled abandoning his live game to run over to Beastboy. Raven sipped her tea as Robin slipped from his chair and exited the room.

Robin made his way to Starfire's room wondering what he would say when he got there. "Star the alarm went off, I'm just oh it was a mistake? No that's lame. Starfire oh this is your room? My mistake, why are you in here by the way? No, not good either. Starfire I need your help with. No not going there." Robin mentally slapped himself as he arrived at Starfire's door. He gently knocked on the door before pulling on his collar that seemed to get tighter by the second. Robin cleared his throat listening for her footsteps but never heard them. He began tapping his foot as he knocked again.

"Starfire?" Robin asked knocking louder.

"Robin! Robin!" Raven yelled floating down the hallway. She was being followed by Cyborg and Beatboy. "Robin I went to feel Starfire's mind to make sure everything was alright. She isn't in there Robin." Raven stated fearfully. Robin kicked in the door running in with his team behind him. Robin froze as his team rushed in around him. Everything was gone, everything.

The closet was open with no hangers or clothes inside. Her dresser drawers were open and empty with nothing on top of it either; no trinkets or letters. The curtain's Robin had gone all the way to Gotham for, without telling the team; that purple "Periwinkle Bloom Fabric" she had to have, cost him almost $200; all because she heard the word Periwinkle from a child in town. No one on the team knew he bought them especially for her, not even Starfire. He told her someone from Jump had sent them, but the look in her eyes was worth every penny. Aside from her bed and bedding everything was gone.

"Robin her communicator is on her bed with a note." Cyborg's voice brought him back to his senses. Robin reached the note and her communicator in two steps, ripping it from Cyborg's hand and reading it aloud.

Dearest Friends,

I write this to inform you of my departure. I now know I am nothing but a hindrance to your team and life here in Jump City. I shall not force your hand in the making me leave the team. I shall do so myself and save you the troubling task. I thank you for the time I was allowed to spend here on Earth and am grateful for the opportunities you have allowed me to witness and partake in. Forgive me for disappointing you as a team member and friend. I shall no longer provide you with disappointment and shall take my leave. Do not look for me on Earth or Tamaran for I will belong to neither. This is forever and always Goodbye.

Starfire

"She's gone?" Beastboy asked.

"Where would she have gotten those crazy ideas from?" Cyborg asked.

"She must have heard Robin and I read the hate mail letter she received." Raven answered still in shock. Robin hadn't spoken since he finished reading the letter. His stomach was on its way up and out of his throat. He felt dizzy, light headed, hot, nauseous, and lack of oxygen all at once. She was gone.


(WITH STARFIRE)

"I thank you sir, but you need not tire yourself with my things. I shall handle the unpacking." Starfire told the kindly older gentleman who insisted on helping.

"It is my pleasure to serve you princess," he bowed lifting another of her bags. Starfire rushed to his side taking it from his hands.

"You must not call me Princess and please allow me to help you." She stated again.

"Alfred loves titles. You won't be able to shake it, especially if your royalty." A boy appeared in her doorway.

"I must insist you not confuse me in any more ways than you already have. You are not the Red-X you are The Batman's new Robin posing as the villain Red-X although I do not understand where the real Red-X has gone too." Starfire stated taking another box out of Alfred's hands and carefully pulling her favorite decoration from it, purple periwinkle bloom fabric curtains.

"Batman caught him months ago, we didn't see the need to tell Robin and his Titans since they had their hands full with Slade and couldn't handle it," he scoffed before noticing Starfire's smile fall.

"Master Jason, perhaps you should go bring us the last of the Princess's boxes and allow me to help her unpack." Alfred suggested as Jason nodded and scurried out. "Forgive him," he apologized for his young ward.

"All is forgiven do not have the worries." Starfire smiled as she finished hanging her curtains. "Please is there another title you would find pleasing to call me? I am no longer a Princess here on Earth."

"I shall call you Miss if that suits you better. I meant no disrespect."

"None has been received," she smiled in return.

"You…ugh! Could have ugh," Jason's voice echoed down the hallway, grunting as he talked. "Helped uhhhh me!"

"It's more fun this way," a girl a little older than Starfire responded. Starfire took the boxes from Jason's hands allowing the boy to breathe.

"Super strength comes in handy." The girl smirked.

"Forgive me, we have not been properly introduced.."

"Oh, sorry Starfire. My name is Barbra but my friends called me Babs. I'm Batgirl." She smiled.

"The pleasure of meeting belongs with me."

"I've got two hot girls on my team now," Jason smirked.

"Control your hormones," Bruce walked in tossing Starfire a black device in the shape of a Bat. "Your new uniform will be done by tonight and we will start training. It will have many utilities and gadgets. There is a tracker installed so we can always find you in case of an emergency and is bullet proof, fire proof, low-grade bomb proof, and if I did the workings right it should be able to withstand your firebolts." Bruce stated as Starfire ran her fingers around her new coms device.

"I fear the Titans will notice my vocal patterns, speech, and most importantly my green powers should we happen to meet them." Starfire replied.

"That's what this is for." Bruce tossed her a small bottle of eye drops. "I have contacted Tamaran and spoken with your Galfore. He will not betray your location should anyone contact him, he will not have spoken to you. I have merged the information I have received with my own creation. Those drops will change the color of your powers to black. Your starbolts will burn the chemicals up so it is not permanent. I predict only four hours each use." Bruce stated calmly. "We'll all have to be conscious of the timing should we be busy or in a fight when it wears off because you'll have to take off your new mask to put more in."

"We can handle that." Babs assured him.

"I'll always have her back," Jason winked at Starfire.

"And my speech?" Starfire asked.

"I'm having a computer installed into your suit that will force any words you use into contractions along with rephrasing your thoughts as you think and will configure them to speak into slang. It should fool any and all who knew you as the Titan Starfire. But remember the Titans do not know of Jason as Robin nor do I want to inform the Titan's Robin yet. They can't know who you are. You'll need a new name." Bruce stated.

"Sex on Legs," Jason stated getting a quit punch to the gut by Babs.

"How about Blackfire?" Babs asked adding her name to her newly colored powers.

"That is my sister's name, she has met the Titans." Starfire replied quickly.

"What would you suggest Miss Starfire?" Alfred interrupted everyone. Starfire thought for a moment before smiling.

"Kori."

"Kori mmm I like it!" Jason smirked still holding his stomach.

"I think it's hot," Babs smirked.

"It'll do." Bruce agreed.


(3 Months Later)

"Kori, your eyedrops!" Batgirl shouted as she saw a flicker of green before it disappeared. She was in the middle of fighting another of the Joker's minions while Kori was battled Harley and Jason was just beside her working on his own minion.

"I've got you Kor!" Jason shouted moving towards her but not looking for Haley and her hammer as he took a blow to the back.

"X!" Batgirl and Kori shouted. Kori ripped Harley's hammer out of her hands and resorted to hand to hand combat with the clown. Kori was breathing heavily trying to keep her anger under control so her eyes would not shine green through the mask.

"Calm down now puddin', was that yer man?" Harley asked dancing about.

You should do the calming and surrendering and no one belongs to me. Kroi thought and started to speak as fast as she would normally speak and the computer translated it into- "Calm down and give up. As for me, I don't need anyone." She hissed.

"Got your back this time!" X shouted tackling Harley to the ground. Kori ran into the back storage area looking around before pulling her mask up and dropping one drop into each eye. It tingled as her powers ate at the dye. Her eyes blazed black and she ripped down her dark leather mask.

"I'll only ask one more time. Where is Slade now?" Batman's angry voice came from around the corner. Kori had edged herself towards the room watching Batman deal with joker.

"I told you oh Dark Knight he left for Jump. Said Gotham wasn't any fun. Guess he never played games like me." Joker's voice laughed until Batman slapped him across the face.

"If I find out you are lying I'll come back and rip that smile off your face."

"You invaded my home Batsy, I did nothing wrong. Not today. Not yet," Joker snickered. Batman tossed him to the ground and flipped his cape as he turned around and walked towards the door with the Joker still laughing behind him. The joker pulled out a tiny clown ball and stuck it on the ground throwing it at Batman. "Nighty Nighty Bats!"

"BATMAN!" Kori screamed flying in the room and catching the small bomb; the fuse was short and about to explode as Kori took to flight blasting through the ceiling.

"KORI!" Batman and the Joker watched as it exploded in the sky. X and Batgirl rushed following their gaze to the sky.

"No!" Batgirl gasped. Jason decked the Joker in the face, annoyed as the man kept laughing.

"Shut Up!" he roared.

"KORI! KORI! Come in!" Batman shouted into his coms device only receiving silence in return.

"Say byebye to the little fly lady." Joker laughed.

I believe you will find my people are quite resilient. I am not so easily destroyed or fragile. "You see, I'm not so fragile, where I'm from we are quite strong." Kori smirked floating down through the hole in the ceiling. My apologies I believe my communicator was damaged during the explosion. I shall require a new one…again. "Sorry, it looks like my com was damaged from the bomb. I'll need a new one…again"

"Kori! I'll never get use to you surviving things like that," Batgirl smirked.

"Authorities have been notified and will be here soon to pick them up. We leave, now." Batman ordered as the team quickly left the warehouse. Kori flew while the others used their grappling hooks to land on top of the next roof top.

"That was sick!" Jason exploded pulling Kori into a hug.

"Yes, indeed it was," she responded switching off her suit word changer. "Batman did I hear correctly? Slade had indeed left Gotham?" Jason and Babs turned to face the Dark Knight.

"Yes, we leave for Jump."

"Is that not Titan territory?" she asked.

"He's as much of our now criminal as theirs, they've had their chance. We leave for Jump." He responded turning the team towards home to pack.

"If we run into the Titans?" Jason asked.

"Kori and I will beat Robin up. You guys can take the rest. The little player abandoned us all." Batgirl rolled her eyes.

"I believe you may have all honors with Robin. If possible I will remain neutral." She sighed, no one catching it except Batman as she had been flying closest to him.

"You're on our team now Kori. We will catch Slade." Batman stated.


AN: And review! I hope you liked it. The next chapter will take off with the Titans and Robin 3 months after Starfire left them. Don't worry they will meet up with her soon. After all this is a Star/Rob story. And for the record Batgirl is his ex. That's why she doesn't like him. Jason doesn't fancy Star don't worry he fancies any and every girl he sees which includes but does not single out Starfire.
