Summary:

Everything's all great and dandy for young Dick Grayson, when suddenly he was startled awake by his mentor in the middle of the night! For the young 13 year old, he is more than ready to defend the Earth when he hears of an alien invasion, but here's the catch: he can't participate in it. But he is assigned to babysit an alien prisoner. She's not any average girl he's ever encountered. And he's not any human she expected. Will they get along and be able to save the world in time?

WAYNE MANOR
October 5, 0:00 EDT

It was midnight. Richard Grayson was at home sleeping when Batman walked in. "Dick. Dick, wake up," his adopted father shook.

"What?" Dick asked sluggishly. The Dark Knight only had to glare at Richard to get the boy to receive the message. "What's it about, Bruce?"

"Alien invasion," the Dark Knight replied.

"So the Earthlings versus some ugly species or something?" the boy recapped, while jumping off his bed and into the closet.

"I wouldn't assume things," Batman replied. "It's an alien invasion for an escaped prisoner. Their prisoner showed up to Earth approximately thirty minutes ago. Apparently they are hunting them down."

"So we're protecting the prisoner or turning it in?" Richard exited his closet clothed in his super hero attire and stood beside his mentor.

"We'll be keeping it under our control until further notice," Batman answered. A beep went off of Robin's watch. The boy pressed a button and a holographic image of Superman appeared.

"Superman," the boy and Batman greeted.

"Batman. Robin. We found their prisoner," Superman reported.

"Problem is: we need a babysitter. One of you guys needs to back out of this mission. And by you, I mean, you Robin."

Robin glared at the man on the screen. "That's not fair! I want to fight too! What about the others? You guys will need back up."

"They're already here and besides Robin, the aliens we're facing are not any monster we've ever faced."

"I've faced tougher," he replied coldly.

Batman clasped a hand on his protégé's shoulder. "Just trust him on this," Batman replied.

"But-" Robin was cut off by his mentor's harsh glare.

"I'll take her to headquarters to meet you and from there, Robin make sure under any circumstances should you ever leave her out of your sight, do I make myself clear?"

"Got it."

The transmission ended and Robin had his arms crossed over his chest. He was even quiet during the whole car ride to the headquarters.

"Don't be so down, Dick," Batman said. "This might be good for you."

"Yeah, left behind to watch over some freaky alien thing is way better than kicking alien butt," Robin fumed.

"Miss Martian is an alien," Batman pointed out.

"Well she can be a human at least," Robin retorted.

"Don't assume things, Dick."

MOUNT JUSTICE
October 5, 1:00 EST

When Mount Justice came into view, they were greeted by a barrage of neon green orbs. Batman pulled to the side off of the road to observe the source of the green orbs. The source was from a flying female. Besides her was none other than Superman himself and a couple flying winged, giant lizard-like aliens dressed in armor. It was obvious that both Superman and the female were having a rough time fighting them off. The girl's hand glowed, forming an enormous ball of green energy and thrust it towards their enemies. Like a bowling ball, it knocked out all three aliens; plummeting them to the ground. Robin and Batman could only watch in silence and awe as the two flew to meet them.

Superman landed in front of them while the female remained flying several feet behind Superman. She appeared hesitant and slightly frazzled when she saw the two new men before her. Sensing this, Superman extended his hand to her. "Don't worry, they are friends."

Sensing his calm face and trusting eyes, she gave in to him. She accepted his hand and landed beside Superman. She released her hand only to have it behind her back and hold her forearm.

"Robin," Superman said, "meet your assignment."

Robin observed the girl from head to toe and back up. The girl had thick, curly, flowing red hair that reached her kneecaps. Her face was beautiful, flawless, soft, and a tannish-orange shade. Her eyes were a pool of emerald that glowed green when she flew or used her powers, he noted. She wore a lavender suit with a dark purple pattern from her shoulder blades to mid-biceps, elbow, and down her sides. The lavender fabric ran from her elbow to her hands, in between the dark purple pattern from neckline to the belt around her waist, and stopped short to her dark purple skirt. She wore a pair of long lavender boots that shaped her long, toned legs. It didn't take Robin long enough to conclude that she was a very attractive girl. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on.

"She can't speak English, so-"

Superman was cut off when the girl reached out to Robin and pulled him into a kiss. Robin was caught off guard by the abrupt move that before he could respond, the kiss was already over. He noted how she had incredibly soft lips and the taste of her still lingered in his mouth. I'm starting to like this girl, Robin thought.

"I can," she replied. "My people can obtain any language instantaneously through lip contact."

Robin was saddened that the kiss was not for attraction, but her delicate, soft, musical voice made him think otherwise.

"And you hadn't kissed Superman because…" Robin asked.

"Would it not be awkward for a young female to kiss an elderly man?" she countered.

"Good point," Robin replied. Nonetheless, he was glad she chose to kiss him.

"You're an escape prisoner according to them," Batman nodded to the fallen aliens. "Why?"

"I was abducted? I believe that is what you earthlings referred to it?" she explained, testing out her new acquired language, "I was in the planet of Okaara training when the Gordanians ambushed me. I am but a mere prize to them. They shall use me an ultimatum for my home planet, Tamaran. But I managed to escape and appear here. It is my fault for bringing them in your planet. I must defeat them before I depart."

"No, you need to rest," Superman commanded.

"You do not know what the Gordanians are capable of," the girl responded. "I was trained to defeat them."

"You are highly exhausted," Superman pointed out. "And if you think about returning to fight them, you'll only doom your own planet."

The girl was shocked, as if he slapped her across the face, but she knew that he was right.

"Now let's head back to the headquarters before more Gordanians decide to turn up," Superman said.

With that, the two took off in the air while Robin and Batman jumped back into the bat mobile.

"You were saying," Batman mocked.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll never assume things ever again," Robin replied annoyingly.


Batman and Superman departed from the two teenagers soon after they stepped foot into the base. "Just don't do anything you'll regret," Batman said before leaving.

Robin turned around, finally realized what Batman said. It was only just him and her alone at home base.

"So, I didn't catch your name," the boy wonder asked, hoping to start a small talk with the beautiful girl.

"Koriand'r," she replied.

"Kori. Can I call you that for short?" he asked. He gave up trying to say her name several times over in his head.

"It is Koriand'r not Kori," she insisted stiffly.

"What does it mean?" Robin shrugged off her icy tone.

"In your language it is Star-fire."

"Starfire," Robin tested out on his tongue, "I like it. I'm Robin by the way." Robin extended his hand to her and she shook it hesitantly with a firm grip. "So what can you do?"

"Pardon?" the alien asked.

"No need to be shy, Star. I can call you that right?" Starfire shrugged, giving up on understanding his obsession for short cuts. "What are your abilities?"

"My powers?"

"Yeah."

"I can fire starbolts from my hands, fly, and acquire immense strength."

"Cool, so you're like a female version of Superman. Except he has heat and x-ray vision rather than projecting starbolts," Robin babbled.

"I suppose," Starfire answered, uninterested. "If you permit me, may I rest here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Robin blabbed, "We have some bedrooms here."

Robin led her to his room and sat himself by a chair while she sat on her bed.

"Thank you, I am deeply grateful, but must you watch me sleep?" Starfire asked irritated.

"That's part of the babysitting thing," Robin said.

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much," she replied while yawning.

"Okay, what's your deal, Starfire? Ever since you started talking all you did was complain nonstop. Don't you see that you're in danger and we're just trying to help?"

"You will not understand," she replied coldly before letting sleep overtake her.

Robin wanted her to fight but he decided against it. He knew she was tired and overwhelmed by being in a new planet, but that didn't mean she had to be such a hot-head.

Robin watched her sleeping form. She looked so vulnerable and adorable, yet so dangerous when she was awake. She was very beautiful, but her personality was so provoking. So she was an alien, but that doesn't mean I can't understand her, he thought to himself. Robin decided that he would try to get her to open up when she wakes up.

He settled on the chair, his right elbow propped up to support his face as he watched the sleeping alien. The clock read 1:45am when his eyes closed for a few moments.

After what seemed like ten minutes, the boy wonder woke up by his usual alarm clock at 7am. He glanced back at his bed only to find it empty and neatly fixed. The body of the girl was nowhere in sight. Shoot! Batman's gonna kill me! The boy wonder panicked. He jumped out of his chair and into the hallway.

"Star? Starfire?" he called out, but none responded. Suddenly a high pitch scream came from the lounge. Robin ran as fast as he could only to be greeted by a horror movie playing on the TV. The room was dim, yet something told him that he wasn't alone. On instinct, Robin pulled out several batarangs in between his fingers. From the corner of his eyes, he saw someone sitting on the couch with their legs gathered in their arms, shaking. He approached the intruder carefully, one hand reaching out for their shoulder. He turned them around abruptly and the person before him was none other than Starfire herself. Her eyes were petrified as a steam of tears ran down her immobilized face.

"Starfire, you okay?" Robin asked surprised as he tucked his batarangs back into his utility belt. Her mouth quivered, mouthing something in her language—rutha—over and over again. Robin reached out to wipe her tears away, but when she finally sensed his presence, she pulled away and wiped her tears away quickly.

"I am okay, Robin." Her sad eyes quickly transformed into a cold, hard stare. Robin couldn't believe her.

"Why can't you admit that you're not okay?" his thirteen year old side exploded. Starfire was startled by his sudden outburst that she couldn't reply to him. Her cold stare overflowed with more tears.

Robin felt guilty immediately. Silently, he kicked himself over for being so harsh on the girl. His mature personality kicked in and he became sympathetic. He was really curious about the girl's peculiar actions lately.

"I'm sorry," Robin said, "I didn't mean to burst at you."

The alien continued to watch the boy, silently as her tears continued to run.

"It's obvious you're not okay, Starfire. It's also obvious that you're faking to be strong when you're really not."

"It is not polite to be nosy to one's personal problems," Starfire stated in a monotone voice.

"Perhaps not, but I know you need someone to listen to your story. You don't need to put on a mask and act like you're strong, 'cause trust me, running away won't solve it."

"I do not understand what you are speaking of," Starfire denied stubbornly.

"Look, I know you're hurting a lot and I don't know what it is or what has caused it, but it doesn't mean you should treat nice people so coldly when they haven't done anything to you."

Starfire was quiet. She bit her lower lip, looking at the ground guiltily.

"Even though I don't know you, it doesn't mean that I don't care about your well being."

Starfire continued staring at the ground for another moment, biting her lips harder as if to cease her quivering lips. She wiped her tears away and sniffled. "You would not understand…" she said while staring uninterestedly at her kneecaps.

"Try me," the boy wonder challenged.

She released her arms from her legs before speaking. "May we go somewhere more private?" she asked.

"But this is the most private place you can be," Robin answered.

"I do not feel comfortable opening myself in a territory filled with electronically devices that read my every move."

She's a sharp one. "We can't leave Mount Justice, Star. Didn't you hear Superman's orders?"

"I have, yet I am uncomfortable in this place," Starfire said followed by sighing. "Perhaps you do not understand me after all."

Robin realized that the girl was using reverse psychology on him. He sighed, frustrated. He did want to know what bothered Starfire, yet he can't go against orders… unless there's a loophole involved.

"I'm listening, Starfire," Robin decided. "Where do you have in mind?"


Finally here is part 1 of Fated To Meet

To be completely honest, this was sorta tough to type up on my part ^^;

I don't really know much about a 13 yr old Robin, so I sorta guessed. I tried to make him sound like his YJ, but I sorta threw in some of his TT personality ^^; plus any average 13 yr old's personality. Hopefully I have met your expectations! .

This story is dedicated to those who wanted Starfire to show up on YJ. =D

Although it's not Teen Titan related, the personality and characters are still part of it... so I still consider this story as part of my TT ASBEA collection (:
