Air escapes from between my lips when I roll my shoulders to ease the muscles. The fight took a toll on my body, but not mine alone. I look over to the couch to see beast boy and cyborg resting mostly. Beast boy had his head thrown back with his eyes closed and cyborg was tinkering with his arm to get the last remaining evidence of Red-X out. They did not speak out loud of pain with their bodies, but I could not be the only one sore.

Raven retreated to her room when we got into the tower without a word as so did Robin, but I doubt he was resting. Robin was tense for another reason and it had me worried. I tried talking with him, though it was difficult with a door blocking you from truly reaching him. Eventually he told me to "go away" and that "he was busy." Now I stood watching the two guys on the couch.

"Starfire!" I blink quickly a few times when hearing my name and focus on beast boy who I assumed was calling me. My head tilts to the side trying to confirm if it was him. "Are you back from where ever you went to?" His head was still thrown back, but his eyes were glued to me. I wonder if I looked upside down to him.

"I never left" I respond with a little confusion. I see him roll his eyes.

"Your mind was somewhere else though" With another blink or two he has flipped over the couch and was now standing in front of me. My hands quickly shoot forward against his chest when I see him stumbling with the ungraceful landing. "Thought I nailed the landing" amusement tones his voice when he is finally standing tall. "You're worried about Robin." It wasn't a question, so I gave a nod of my head.

"I wish he would relax" my eyes move to the doorway in hopes to see him come through. Nothing. I look down at the floor instead of beast boy trying to come up with a way to get Robin out. Every idea that popped up was shot down with a problem and that problem was Robin.

"Man next time I see that Red-X guy I am blowing him to another planet!" we both glance in surprise to cyborg who threw the screwdriver he was using away from him in disgust. "I'm lucky I was able to get the last of the red goo out of my cannon," he switches from his arm to the cannon and back a couple of times until satisfied. "I thought I was going to have to take the whole thing apart."

"I am happy for you Cyborg!" my smile was truthful, because I was happy he was okay, but it felt fake as well, because I knew I wasn't fully happy.

"You know all that has happened has gotten me starved!" the mentioning started my stomach to make the groaning sound. "I can see I am not the only one either." Beast boy winks at me before turning back to Cyborg. "What do you say we head out for a pizza?"

"I can eat a whole pie I am so hungry!" Cyborg chimes in while jumping up from the couch.

"I can eat two!" Beast boy holds out a peace sign in front of Cyborg, but he just pushes his hand away from his face with a bigger grin.

"You're on!" I couldn't hold the giggling back as I watched the two who were now seeing who can hold their stare the longest. A bigger grin spread across my face when I thought of this being perfect to get Robin out of the room.

"This is a glorious plan!" the two men look over in surprise from my sudden outburst, but I ignore them and fly to where Robin was cooped up. "Robin! Robin!" My hope seemed to be over flowing as I grew closer to his door and the smile was now hurting my face as I stood in front. Three quick knocks on the door and I hear his voice.

"Who is it?" I did not take it personal when he had the snappy tone.

"It is your friend Starfire," I begin with joy. "I, Beast boy, and Cyborg are hungry and decided to go to get pizza. Please join us!"

"I am busy." It was a quick and sharp response that bought a flinch out of me with a frown forming on my face.

"You must be hungry, please-,"

"Starfire, Red-X is out there probably getting ready to pull another crime and I know nothing. I am busy" My jaw clenches tight, holding the tears back. 'It is not his fault, he is busy being a superhero' I tell myself. 'That is all we are…to him' the thought was more depressing then it was supposed to be and my mood for pizza has died with my happiness.

"Star are you coming!" I hear Beast boy call from the room I left him in with Cyborg.

"Yes I am going to ask Raven first" my eyes stay on Robin's door though.

"Do not bother," I turn my head to the low, but annoyed voice. "All the yelling around here is disrupting my meditation."

"Then maybe you would like to come?" She shakes her head in response.

"With you three gone maybe I can get a chance to actually meditate." Without having a chance to say anything Raven turns to head back down the hall to her room. My eyes move back to Robin's door before giving up. 'Shouldn't keep the two waiting any longer'

"I thought you got lost" I see Cyborg standing next to Beast boy.

"Why would I get lost?" They both ignore the question and turn around.

"Let's get going before my stomach eats itself" I nod at Cyborg statement and follow both men out the tower.


'Should have gone shopping when I had the chance' If annoyance was measured to a point, mine was way over it. Besides the line being long and the cashiers being slow the screaming child in front of me was my breaking point. 'I should have stolen a pizza!' I shake my head at the irony. I knew I could still do it, but without my disguise it was a chance I did not want to take.

I stare at the little child who was now grabbing at his mother's skirt with ear piercing wails. The poor woman had one hand holding the waistband so it wasn't tugged down while she unsuccessfully tried to calm her son down with soothing words.

"Finally!" My eyes widen at the familiar voice as my ears perk up. 'I guess it is a good idea I chose to behave' I think as my eyes land on three teen titans. I stay glued to the three who were walking up the stairs to the outside seating with the green animal shifter holding four boxes. 'Lucky me, dinner is ready'

It was not hard spotting the three, seeing it difficult to miss a cyborg and green skin boy, but my eyes watch as the alien girl grabs three slices with unknown things on top. 'Someone is hungry'. My stomach grumbles loud to remind me she was not the only one.

Instead of wasting time in trying to figure out a plan I continue forward towards the titan's table, pleased when I see the two men begin an eating contest.

"Hello there" I try for my best smile, but seeing how I do not do that often it felt like a fail. The girl looks up with surprise as does the two men who pause mid bite at what I assumed was their third slice. I clear my throat quickly before continuing. "I couldn't help noticing that you were eating alone" I had to stop myself from gagging at that line 'I watch too many movies'.

"I am not alone" she points out as her eyes look over to her two companions. She had a point. I study the two next to while thinking up a way to sit down and eat with them.

"Yes I can see that," without being invited I take the empty seat next to her, which I didn't have a choice seeing how there were only four seat with three already being occupied. "But it looked to me like these two were busy with an eating contest?" She nods then lets a smile spread across her face, taking me by surprise.

"My name is Starfire," she points the pizza that now had cheese sliding off at her. "This is Beast boy," the pizza swings to the green skinned boy, before going to the cyborg. "And that is Cyborg" I nod my head not truly caring. "What is your name?"

"The name is Xavier sweetie" I know it is risky for me to give my real name, but how could she know I was Red-X? Without thinking I take a slice of pizza from the box that was opened besides her. My stomach growls in anticipation to what it knows was coming, but that feeling died fast when I took a bite of the pizza.

My hand shoots to cover my mouth to stop whatever wanted to come up and that took a lot of effort. I could feel tears wanting to come up and down the pizza in silent disgust.

"What is on this?" I ask trying to hide my appalled tone.

"Mustard" she takes a happy bite to show how much she loved it. 'I guess I don't have to worry about being hungry'

"I win!" I look over to see Cyborg sticking his tongue out at Beast boy who looked ready to throw up.

"The only reason you won was because I got sick watching you stuff your face with meat" Beast boy responds back to a gleeful cyborg.

"Meat builds muscles baby!" I shut the two arguing out as I bought my attention back to Starfire.

"It's been a pleasure, but I have to leave" she doesn't pause from her new slice to say good-bye. "Hopefully we will run into each other again," I could not tell if she was hearing what I was saying, but I did have to go, I had money to sort out. "I have a feeling it will be soon" The last part was mostly to myself, but I thought I caught a glimpse of confusing on her face. Instead of seeing if I was right I continue forward towards the stairs of the pizzeria.

When I knew I was a good distance away I lift the hem of my black t-shirt up enough to expose my belt while at the same time clicking the X to teleport away.


I know it had been awhile, but I have been busy!

I have not forgotten though!

I love you guys and let me know what you think of this chapter!
