Ok, like I said in my last story- If I don't get the personalities of people or descriptions of where things are (like the interior of the tower) right, I am sorry. But it's fanfiction, so ha! This contains RobXStar and BBXRae.

Italics means it's someone's personal thoughts.

A dark figure swooped low over Jump City. The city was just starting to wake up. She was looking all around, trying to find her destination.

Now that I'm here, I can finally destroy her. Once and for all. All I need is a plan…

"Oh, Robin, today has been wonderful! The carnival was so much fun!"

"No problem, Star. Anything for you."

She smiled and slowly they leaned closer, until their lips were just inches apart…

"Hey, Robin! Wake up, man! It's already 8! We're starving!"

"Yeah, dude! Come on already!"

Robin woke abruptly when he heard BB and Cyborg outside his door. He looked at his clock and saw that it was 8:03. Huh… how did I sleep through my alarm? And why did those guys have to ruin my dream? I was about to kiss her and… wait, what? I was dreaming about her again… He stood up and brushed his hair. When he stepped out into the hallway, he saw the two boys walking towards the kitchen. By the time he got there, they were already into a heated debate about what they were going to cook.

"Tofu."

"Bacon."

"Tofu!"

"Bacon!"

"TOFU!"

"BACON!"

They lunged at each other and started rolling around on the floor, almost knocking over Raven and her herbal tea. Luckily, she hovered above them and floated over to the door. "Pathetic." She walked out, headed towards the living room.

Starfire walked in shortly after Robin and heard the argument. "Good morning, friends! Please, let us not fight! Today is so lovely! If we cannot agree on what to make, I will be happy to provide food for you!" Everyone stopped dead in their tracks and stared between themselves and the smiling Starfire.

All 3 guys said unanimously, "We'll make pancakes!" Star looked slightly crestfallen at this. Robin walked over to her to try to cheer her up.

"Hey, I know you love cooking, but I also know how much you love mustard on your pancakes! Come on, let's eat." His comment immediately cheered Star up and they walked over to the oven where he began making pancakes.

After breakfast, everyone went about their daily routines. Raven was in the 2nd to last chapter of her novel, and BB and Cyborg were playing their new favorite video game, The Giant Cheese Blob From Jupiter IV. They were on level 48 and only had to reach level 50 in order to unlock the cheat to download the sequel, The Giant Cheese Blob From Jupiter V. They had been playing the game for about a month and they were really excited to unlock the next one.

Robin headed down to the gym and Starfire walked with him. When they got in, Robin headed over to the bench press. He put 100 pounds on both sides. Then he started lifting. Starfire just sat on the floor cross-legged and watched for about 20 minutes. Then Robin stopped. His face was red.

"Friend Robin, could I perhaps try to lift the bar? I have seen you do it multiple times and I think I could do it."

Robin looked skeptical. "I don't know, Star…" Her green eyes got huge and she started pouting. He couldn't resist. "Oh, alright. But we'll start out small and add slowly, ok?"

"Oh, of course Robin! I will do exactly as you say!" He took off enough weight until it was only 50 pounds. She could easily lift it, so he slowly kept adding more and more until he reached 250. At this point she was straining slightly.

"Star, are you ok?" She just nodded, and rested the bar for a moment. Then she had Robin add another 50 pounds. She slowly grabbed the bar and lifted it, 1, 2, 3 times. On the 4th time, she ran out of strength. The bar was too far down for her to put it down to get up. It slowly came to a rest on her neck, slowly suffocating her. Robin had been picking up a towel that had fallen on the floor on the other side of the room and didn't notice.

"Robin!" It came out in a strangled whisper. Star summoned what little strength she had left and managed to push the bar along her body until it rested on her sternum. "Robin!" It was loud enough for him to hear this time. He turned.

"Oh god, STAR!" He rushed over and tried to find a place to grab the bar. Her hands covered most of it, minus a small part on either side of her chest. Right near her… SNAP OUT OF IT, RETARD! He slipped his hands underneath the bar and lifted it just enough for her to slip out. Then he lowered it onto the bench. Both of them were breathing hard. "Star… I'm sorry… I went to grab a towel… and I thought… I didn't… I…"

Star put her finger on his lips to silence him, which made him melt. "It is ok, Robin. I should not have pushed myself so far. Thank you for saving me." She pulled him into a tight embrace, which he returned. They pulled apart and remained only a few inches apart. At that moment, Robin felt a strong urge to kiss her, and she secretly returned to urge. However, Raven chose to walk in.

"Hey, Robin, didn't you… oh I should've knocked first, huh?" Robin and Star backed away from each other, blushing slightly, both feeling very much the same, yet thinking slightly different things.

Why didn't I say something? I know that she probably would think I'm insane, but…I think I'm starting to like her… Oh, what am I saying? I love her, I always have, I'm just too much of a ninny to say anything…

I wonder if Robin felt the same way I did just now… When he saved me, when he hugged me… I am not exactly sure what I am feeling, all I know is that I truly do enjoy this feeling.

"Anyway, I just thought you two would like to know that Atlas is attacking some kids in the park. I was wondering if you want to save them, or…"

"Of course, Raven! What are you thinking? Titans, go!"

I know she lives around here somewhere… maybe I should ask. After all, she is famous. She swooped down and landed near an abandoned warehouse. She walked down the street a few paces and stopped when she saw a man standing by the door. She walked over.

"Excuse me, could you please direct me to the Teen Titans?" She asked as politely as she could, considering who she was. And the fact that the man looked as if he could actually be an even fight for her. The man instantly glared at her.

"What do you want with THEM?" His hands were balled into fists and he looked ready to kill her.

Oh… He must hate them too… huh… "Oh, I just had a score to settle with my sister." She spat the word. "Starfire. Also known as Koriand'r. Know her?"

"Yes, I do know her as a matter of fact. I am also well acquainted with one of her friends, seeing as he worked for me for a while. What kind of… score?"

"She imprisoned me and stole the crown, which was rightfully mine! I am going to find her, torture her, and KILL her." The venom with which she said the last two words impressed the man, which was something rarely accomplished.

She could be very useful to me… "Tell me, Miss…"

"Blackfire."

"Miss Blackfire. What would you say to a… partnership?"

This time she narrowed her eyes at him. What is he getting at? "What kind of partnership did you have in mind, sir?"

"Well, we both have scores to settle with the Titans. Seeing as we have both… lacked certain qualities needed to bring about their demise, working together should surely be foolproof. After we capture them, you may do as you like with Starfire and I will do what I wish with the rest of the Titans. Afterwards, you are free to go or remain here as my apprentice. I will teach you everything. And allow you to wreak havoc on the city. Agreed?" He extended his hand.

Blackfire considered her options. If I say no, I could be defeated again. If I say yes, he could trick me into doing something against my will. But I could overpower him… What do I have to lose? She extended her hand and shook his, sealing the deal. "I would love to help you, Mr.…"

"Call me Slade."
