AN: This is set before the Titans knew that Starfire was a princess, but I decided to add a spin to it. I hope you like it. It's going to start back when Starfire was a small child. If you don't know the comic book past of Starfire then it will slowly be explained in the story just be patient and let me know if it's confusing the way I do my story. It might not be completely accurate of her past since I don't know every detail but the way I have the story in my head I LOVE it this way. So I'm going to try.

I would be in much better shape if this kid hasn't hitchhiked in my ship. Now I had to try and save the royal family of Tamaran and get this kid out alive. If only The Royals would have had better control of their wild daughter, Blackfire, then none of this would have come to pass. The kid happened to be pretty agile and on the plus side he wasn't scared. But he insisted on being called "Robin." I knew I couldn't get this dumb code name changed it had to do with his recently departed parents; which I knew all too well about.

"Robin! STAY CLOSE! How many times do I have to tell you?" I screamed at the little boy running behind me. I had to find this princess. I'd met her many times before and saving her happened to be the dying request of her parents, the king and queen, and I promised. I couldn't go back on my word now. I had been the family's royal protector and delegator between earth and Tamaran for a few years now. I was the only one they trusted and now the only one left to save their daughter. We ran towards the highest burning tower, the only place I hadn't looked for the princess yet. The Psions were attacking the planet and with lasers being fired all around us and the screams of dying Tameraians echoing in our ears we didn't have much time left.

"How will you know when we find her? Everyone here looks the same," Robin hollered at me trying to keep up. I used my grappling hook and waited until it attached itself to the balcony and started to climb it as quickly as I could. I was surprised to find that the boy kept up with me. Maybe he would be an asset instead of a liability. I jumped on the balcony to find it was quickly going to crumble.

"MOVE!" I shouted hoping the boy would be fast enough to follow and ran inside the building.

"KORI! KORI!" I shouted in the smoke filled room. This was her bedroom I knew it and had been in once or twice. I heard a small whimper from the bathroom and was shocked to see Robin has already beaten me there and flung the door open. A beam crashed and the roof fell in right in front of me and it separated me from the two. He was her only hope if we were to save her in time. The boy was only 7 yet he wasn't afraid. He didn't even look back when the beam crashed behind him, he kept going for the girl. Our suits would protect us from the heat but I didn't know about the girl. He had to get her out and soon.

(RobinPOV)

I knew she was in here I could hear her whimpering. Fact was I didn't even know her name.

"GIRL!" I screamed "GIRL!" I could hear her small cough and pushed my way through ruble and broken items scattered on the floor. When I found her she was huddled on the floor in a corner trying to breathe and scared to death. I picked her up and tucked her into my chest and ran back towards Batman. The girl was crying and screaming in some crazy language and I was afraid she would hurt me but when she heard me yell for Batman she relaxed and cuddled into my chest tighter.

(Batman POV)

I helped direct Robin through the small rubble only he was small enough to fit through. When we made it through he handed me the sobbing princess and we ran for the crumbling balcony. I screamed for him to follow but heard no footsteps. When I turned around he was unconscious with debris on top of his head. I ran back and scooped him up, Starfire helped by holding him close to us. I quickly clicked my beeper for the bat jet. With the two of them in my arms I jumped off the balcony and within seconds, and a little help from the girl's flight, we had landed in the cockpit, safely. I placed the two of them in the passenger seat and flew off as fast as I could.

"You are safe now," I told the princess in her native tongue. I didn't speak her language fluently but I spoke enough to have normal conversations. "Is the boy okay?" I asked. She checked him over slowly and then nodded her head meekly before curling into him and falling into a restless sleep.

A few hours later I dropped the girl off at a single piloted space craft. Her nanny Galfor was onboard. We connected our ships and waited for oxygen to flow freely between the passageway before we opened the safe lock. I was glad to see Robin awaken and seemingly looked fine. He went to rub his head but was more surprised to find the trembling girl curled up against him. I was surprised to watch him hug her and hold her tightly against him that I didn't speak for a few seconds.

Finally I said "Come on Robin we need to give her to her care taker." Robin nodded and helped the girl to stand. The three of us walked towards the Tameranian ship and were greeted by her large male nanny Galfore.

"Thank you, we are forever in your debt. I don't know what our species and people would have done if none of the royal line was preserved. She is so precious to my heart." The man took the girl in his arms and held her close before setting her gently back on the ground.

"If you ever need me for the future please let me know. I promised the girl's parents I would keep her safe and I meant it," I replied. Robin was confused as we spoke in their tongue but patiently waited, silently.

"Tell the boy, thank you." Starfire whispered quietly as she and Galfore headed to their ship and blasted away.

Years passed and Robin continued on as my sidekick and was pretty good at his job. Even though I would never admit it sometimes I even relied on him or I would have died. I kept in close contact with Galfore on the whereabouts and upkeeping of Starfire, but as time passed memories slowly faded from the young boy's head. I think it was the bump on the head from whatever fell from the ceiling that night, helped him forget but it was a dangerous and overwhelming first mission, one that I didn't need him to remember. He was doing fine without the memories. He's lost his parents I didn't want him remembering watching a girl his age lose hers.

When Robin was 14 I got a distress call from Galfore, the princess had been kidnapped by her sister and sold into slavery. The ship was untraceable. Galfore and I looked for weeks but found nothing. We never gave up hope but as a year passed it was harder to believe she was even still alive. Next thing I knew Robin had was 15 and had left Gotham to peruse a crime fighting journey of his own. I followed him to Jump City to make sure when he got in trouble I could bail him out when suddenly a burst of green light hit the street he was nearby and we both ran to see what the commotion was: he on foot, myself on roof tops. It was her, Starfire had escaped. Neither of them recognized each other, which was good. Robin set her free and killed her pursuers and formed the Teen Titans. I left for Gotham city and immediately called Galfore.

"She's alive and well." Was all I stated.

"I'm so, X'aul! I'm so grateful she survived and escaped. Keep her hidden and safe there." He replied.

"She has joined my partner and they have formed their own team it appears."

"That's fine, she needs friends. They will teach her lessons and she will teach them. It's too dangerous out here. She will be safer there." Galfore stated.

"Robin will look out for her." I stated before we hung up. After seeing the look on his face, from the kiss of learning English she gave him, he was smitten with her and would protect her until his own demise. I feared it for him, but knew the two would be good together even if they didn't remember it.

AN: So that's the beginning. The next chapter will help pick up where the titans currently are in life. A team and they know each other just not personally. Like Robin is Robin no one knows he is Dick. And Starfire is just an alien not a princess and so on and so forth you get the idea. Review: tell me if you think it's terrible or not.
