(Flashback)
It was a normal day at Titans Tower all except Robin was on a mission to find a new member. Starfire didn't like it when he tries to find the new member. Hours later, Robin came through the door with a girl with a tight jump suit with a belt similar to Robin's with a mixture of Raven's. Her boots were leather and went past her knees. Also her hair was brown with black highlights that match her brown eyes.
"Team, meet the new member of the Teen Titans…Angela Rivers she is also known as Nightingale." Robin announced looking at Angela. "It's good to be here, guys." Angela said looking at the team. "Oh joy, it's good to meet you new friend Angela." Starfire shrieked hugging Angela. "Star, she needs to breathe." Raven said looking at the almost blue girl. "Sorry, friend" Starfire said letting Angela go. "Yah, whatever," Angela said brushing her outfit then turning to Robin saying, "Umm Robin, where's my room?" she asked, with that Robin took her hand and showed her room.
Starfire felt sick after that and went to the bathroom to throw up. She was in there for 15 minutes making Raven worry even more. After Star left the bathroom she went to her room to think about something.
"So Robin do you have a girlfriend?" Angela asked looking at Robin with a smile. "Uhh…umm yes I do have a girlfriend." He answered with a smile also. "Well I can be a better girlfriend than Starfire." Angela whispered in his ear. "Okay but we have to keep it a secret." He agreed to it.
Weeks after Angela join the team Robin be spending for time with Angela more than Starfire. He started cutting Star off missions because of her being sick and cutting her off on fun.
One day came and Starfire just got back from Wal-Greens see that the other Titans went out to pizza with Angela. She then went quickly to the bathroom and looked at the purple and white box. It was a pregnancy test… Starfire then read the direction and used it.
After three-four minutes of waiting for the timer, it finally went off and Starfire couldn't believe her eyes that she was pregnant with Robin's child.
The way the team treated her was wrong like leaving her out of the missions and the fun. She began to think that they never needed her anymore. Starfire then putted on a blue jean skirt and light blue tube top. After packing her stuff she began to write a note explain why she needs to leave, then left the team for ever.
Dear friends,
I'm sorry that I had to leave the team for ever and never return. Robin, been leaving me out of missions and the games of fun. Raven you are always my favorite sister that I never had. Beast boy and Cyborg are like my brothers to me and always will. Please stay a team while I'm gone and don't try to find me…
Love,
Starfire xoxo
A year later
Starfire had a beautiful little girl that she named Annabelle Raven Stella Karen Grayson Anders. Annabelle was now Starfire life and world. She changed her name to Kori Anders and started working at a Food Shack on the beach not too far from her apartment.
Annabelle was about five months when Kori started working again for the money. Kori found out that she wasn't the only titan with a kid now because of Raven and Beast boy now call Changeling had a son and daughter. Kori was happy that her new life with Annabelle was going to wonderful but the main question was; how long will it last?
Kori will do anything to protect her daughter life even if it means losing hers. She then became Black Star another crime fighter of Florida. She knew that Annabelle will make her proud when she's older.
Annabelle at age 1 ½ going to be 2 soon
Annabelle was now 1 ½ and walking. "Mummy…" Annabelle whined running to her mother. Kori had a job as a model by then and her daughter's hair became black with red streaks as she get older. "Annie honey, what the matter?" Kori said calming her daughter with a hug. "I tripped over my dress and got a booboo."Annabelle said pointing to her booboo."Honey, do you want me to kiss your booboo." Kori asked her daughter, Annabelle nodded and Kori kissed the little scrap on her arm. "C'mon let's put you to sleep in you star crib." Kori said grabbing daughter's hand and taking her to her crib.
After putting her daughter in her crib, Kori started to think about Robin and the others. She never hated someone before Angela came into the group. Kori will only talk to one Titan and that was Argent (Toni). Kori then picked up her phone and called Toni.
"Hello…this is Toni speaking." Argent said through the other line.
"Hey Toni, I was wondering if you're still on for tonight?" Kori asked looking at Annabelle.
"Yah and I could begin Arabella (Argent had her a year after Starfire left and Speedy is the father)." Toni said looking at Speedy who was holding Arabella.
"Yah sure and how are things in England with Speedy right now?" Kori asked still looking at Annabelle who could go to sleep.
"Everything is good and Speedy just asked me to be his wife and we are only 19 years old." Toni said excited but calm at the same time.
"See you soon Toni." Kori said before hanging up.
Annabelle at age 3 years old
Annabelle just started school and it was a few days before father's day. One day she came home crying to Kori saying, "Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy," 3 year old Annabelle screamed running towards Kori while she was in the living room.
"Honey what's wrong?" Kori asked getting on her knees to be near Annabelle's height.
"To-to-today was making cards for father's day an-an-and this girl said that I will never get a dad in time for father's day." Annabelle whined hugging Kori tightly. Kori slightly smile but wouldn't show it.
"Annie, did Jade stud up to them with you?" Kori asks hoping the answer was yes. She shook her nodded rapidly then saying, "Nooooooooooooo," Kori couldn't stand watching my daughter cry like that.
It's been awhile since she heard from Toni and Roy. With Annabelle in pre-school and her going to work as a model it was hard keeping track of life. Annabelle met Jade when Kori was at a photo shoot and Mr. Winn (Jade's Father) was taking photos of Kori.
Kori was happy that her daughter had a friend to count on in school (sometimes). "Mom I barely have any friends and Jade is the only one in class that doesn't have a mom and I'm the only one in class that doesn't have a daddy, mommy." Annabelle explained in a whining sound.
"Honey you know the story about your dad and mine's relationship." Kori said in a sad but sweet voice. "I do miss Bella sometimes." Annabelle said upset about her old friend at one year old. Bella was Arabella's nickname that Toni made for her…
Annabelle at age 4
It been 4 years since Star/Kori let the Teen Titans and had Annabelle. Annabelle been having play dates with Jade more and more since Jade's father moved next door to them. Annabelle had her jet black hair with red streaks and her turquoise eyes are like her mother's. Her skin was white like her father's skin and her mother's smile. "Anna honey time to go." Kori said who is now 21 and living a good life with 4 year old Annabelle. "Coming mommy and see you later, Jade." Annabelle said waving to Jade who was sitting next to her dollhouse. "Thank you again, Jayson." Kori said to Jayson Winn aka Mr. Winn. "No problem, Kori and come by anytime." Mr. Winn said shaking hands with Kori.
"Did you have fun at Jade's today?" asked Kori facing her daughter while in the car going to McDonalds for dinner. "Yah I did and it's good to have a friend next door to our house." Annabelle exclaimed looking out the window. Kori giggled a little then focus on the road.
Once they got home from dinner, Kori putted Annabelle to sleep and left the room to hers. Kori still thought about the Teen Titans now called the Titans by then. Every day she sees Robin by looking at Annabelle. Kori had to cry herself to sleep that night thinking long and hard.
Annabelle at age 5
Annabelle and Kori were at the beach with Jade looking at the sky. It was summer break for Annabelle and Jade and it was Kori's day off. "Auntie Kori, are you okay?" Jade asked pulling one of Kori's pant legs. "Uh…oh and yes Jade I'm okay." Kori said snapping back from her thoughts. "Mom, I think we should go for ice-cream now." Annabelle said pointing to Kiko's Ice (A/N: I made that place up and if it does exist sorry.) and running towards it. "Anna wait," Kori yelled running after Annabelle with Jade in her hands.
After being on the beach, Kori thought that the kids should hang out by going to the house and left them play around with the toys or pretend to model like they do every time Jade's at their house.
One day, Kori came home from a photo shoot see Toni and Jennifer (Jinx) talking at her doorsteps. "Toni…!" Kori exclaimed hugging Toni like there was no tomorrow. "Hey, Kor and I came with Jinx to tell you that Wally and Jen are having their first set of twins." Toni said putting her hand on Jennifer's stomach. "OMG, that's so wonderful Jinx and how's Arabella now and then?" Kori asked turning to Toni. "Arabella is okay right now she's in training with the others." Toni said looking down at her feet. "So have any of you told Robin who's now Nightwing and still dating Angela?" Kori asked looking at the sky to see the clouds. Toni and Jennifer shook their heads side to side, with that Kori smiled looking back to them. "Well…see yah girl and take care of you and my god baby." Toni said before using her powers making a jet then flying off into the sky…
Annabelle at 6 years old
Annabelle was now 6 and already going to 1st grade with Jade. Kori had decided to get her a puppy for her sixth birthday and she named him Lighting. Lighting was her best friend and also Kori's when she needed him. "Mommy, I'm home from school." Annabelle yelled to signal her mom that she's home. Lighting jerked his head up to see Annabelle coming his way. "Hey boy," Annabelle said rubbing his tummy." How was school today, honey?" Kori asked jerking her head from the kitchen. "Mom, why are you so happy today?" Annabelle asked picking up Lighting and caring him to the kitchen. "Umm…sweetie I have a date later on tonight and you are going next door." Kori said looking at Annabelle and petting Lighting on his head.
That night Annabelle went to Jade's house while Lighting stayed at home with Kori. Annabelle hated seeing men dating her mom without dad. "Jade, do even feel like you're missing something?" Annabelle said facing Jade with a sad expression on her face. "Umm…yah I do and that's just for my mom." Jade said putting one of her hand on my shoulder. "I need a new look but I'm still young at most so yah." Annabelle said looking at her hair.
The next day Annabelle woke up from her bed and went to the kitchen. She saw Kori cooking breakfast and Lighting eating his food. It was a Thursday and Kori already had her modeling outfit on and Annabelle's breakfast on the table. "Bye mom. Bye Lighting." Annabelle said after eating her breakfast and going over to Jade's and Mr. Winn's…
Annabelle at age 7
Annabelle started having a feeling to surf while watching T.V. with Lighting. Kori thought that it would be a good idea for Annabelle to surf plus it gets her out the house. "Annabelle do you wanna go somewhere?" asked Kori looking over at Annabelle. "Sure mom, but what are you thinking about?" Annabelle asks looking over at Kori and petting Lighting on the head.
Once Kori and Annabelle got to the beach they saw the surfer teacher. "Hi, and you must be Annabelle Anders?" Surfer teacher asks looking at Annabelle. "Um…Yes sir." Annabelle said slightly in a whispered. "You and your mom can call me Mr. Rider."Mr. Rider said pointing to himself.
Kori left to go to the Nail salon, while Annabelle stays at the surf. "Hi I'm Trevor Blake, and you are?" Trevor said looking at Annabelle with a smile. "I'm Annabelle but you can call me Anna and nice to meet you Trevor." Annabelle said shaking Trevor's hand with a smile.
After surfing class, Kori took Annabelle and Trevor to get some ice-cream at Kiko's Ice. "It nice to meet you Trevor," Kori said looking at Trevor with a smile. "It nice to meet too, Ms. Anders." Trevor said eating his Vanilla ice- cream. Kori and Annabelle snickered a little then back to eating their ice-cream. That's when Annabelle and Trevor became friends till the end…
Annabelle at 8 years old
Annabelle had two best friends now and she was happy. Kori was proud that her daughter is making friends that won't tease her about not having a father. "Mom! I'm going to Jade's house now." Annabelle yelled from the living room. Kori was in her room looking at clothes to model later. "Okay baby girl!" Kori yelled from her room making sure Annabelle heard it.
Once Annabelle got to Jade's house, she saw a young women no older than 24. "Hey Anna, and this is my soon to be stepmother Alana Hunter." Jade introduce Alana. "Nice to meet you, Annabelle. "Alana said smiling at Annabelle and Jade. "Alana, Trevor should be here shortly so we can leave for the beach. "Yeah…my mom's photo shoot is at the beach today." Annabelle informed Jade and Alana. "Maybe we can see her there, Annabelle." Jade said receiving a glare from Alana.
After Trevor got to the house, they then left for the beach. Annabelle was listening to music on her iPod while Trevor and Jade talked for awhile. "Can you to guys shut up?" Alana shouted trying to keep her focus on the road.
Kori was shooting photos in her swimsuit once she spotted the kids she wanted to hang out with them but then she was in her thoughts about the Titans life now. "Hey, can we cut this shoot short?" Kori asked the Director and camera guy. The Director gave Kori the thumbs up and shut down the photo shoot. After Kori got her clothes back on, she went towards the kids.
"Mom,"
"Auntie Kori,"
"Ms. Anders,"
"Hey kids and I have a one hour break to hang out." Kori said high-fiving the kids. "Hey, Alana, I'll take the kids for an hour." Kori said looking over at Alana who's relaxing in a chair…
Annabelle at age 9
Annabelle was in her room painting different kinds of weapons. "Mom was my dad in to weapons and criminals?" Annabelle yelled from her room. "Yes honey he was, and why do you ask that?" Kori answered with a question at the end. "Uh…nothing mom." Annabelle said then continues to paint. Kori went back to cooking after that comment. Lighting had a confused look on his face, and got up from is spot then went upstairs to see Annabelle.
After Annabelle was done painting she went to a secret closet in her room and putted her painting in there. Annabelle loves painting and they are mostly weapons or just classic pictures.
"Anna, your lunch is done!" Kori call out to Annabelle. The next thing Kori knew was that Annabelle was already downstairs and eating her food. Kori snickered a little then joined her daughter at the table.
After lunch Kori took Annabelle to the arcade to play games. "Mom thanks for beginning me here." Annabelle thanked her mom then giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Annabelle at age 10
Annabelle was now 10 and meeting new people. Annabelle just met Chris and Chloe Torres at a concert. Chloe was the one who decided to give Annabelle a new make-over. By this time Annabelle started putting green, blue and purple highlights in her hair. Kori was happy about it but she gave it a try to let Annabelle have them.
"Hey Annie," Chloe said going next to Annabelle towards Math Class with Mr. Brown. "Chloe, it's Anna or Annabelle but never Annie." Annabelle snapped looking over at Trevor and Chris. "Anna, just because you're different for everybody else, it doesn't mean you don't have any friends." Chloe said also looking at guys. "Chloe you don't get it, my life was hard just because I never had a dad to raise me. Jade is also in my shoes but at lease she knows her mom." Annabelle said before going into Mr. Brown's classroom.
After school Annabelle went to her house while Kori was still at work. Kori may be 27 year old but she still looks young. Annabelle quickly called Kori to tell her she's okay and at home. Kori decided that she was old enough to stay at home alone when she had to work.
Towards six o'clock, Kori came home and started making diner. "So…Annabelle, how was school today?" Kori asked who is still keeping her eyes on the food that she was cooking. "It was fine and Chloe called me Annie again." Annabelle said looking at the empty plate. "Well Annabelle it hard to have friends that has parents at all, like Jade now, she just had her dad before Alana came into the picture." Kori said putting the food on the plate in front of Annabelle. "Mom I'd been painting weapons for awhile and my mind is always on weapons." Annabelle said now playing with her food. Kori was about to spit out her food when she heard that. "Anna, let just say your father was into weapons and fight like you and your ADHD." Kori said now playing in her food like Annabelle.
After diner, Annabelle shows Kori the closet she been putting her paintings of weapons at…
Annabelle at age 11 and 12
Annabelle was happy that was about to turn 12 less than 1 month. Kori was planning her birthday for the last two months. "Mom, when can I start training with you as Black Star and me as Firestorm?" Annabelle asked looking over at her Kori who was driving. "Okay I'll give you the truth. When you turned 10 me and the Justice League decided when you are 12 you can start your training with me but you cannot go on missions by yourself until you're 13." Kori said looking at her daughter while on a red light. "Cool," Was all Annabelle could say then going back to listening to her iPod.
A week past since that conversions with Kori, and she had been excited about training. One day at school, Annabelle decided to change her look and by look I mean personality, clothes, and started to wear makeup.
"Mom, can I go to the mall with Jade and Chloe?" Annabelle asked looking at her mother who's on the phone. Kori nodded in response then going back to the phone. With that Annabelle went outside to see if Jade was home. Once she got to the house she and Jade waited for Chloe and Mrs. Torres to come.
After they got to the mall Chloe grabbed her mom's visa credit card. "Annabelle, here's a story we can do." Jade pointed out to a store call Black Lily. They then went into the store. After they were done shopping, Annabelle was now wearing a black short sleeve turtle neck, black jeans, a purple belt that goes around waist sideways only. Her shoes were black and purple converse.
"I look hot with a capital H." Annabelle said as they walked out the store.
It was time for Annabelle's birthday and it was at their house. Annabelle was given gifts from different superheroes. Kori knew her daughter was a good fighter and it was all because of her ADHD. "Thank you guys," Annabelle said to the Justice League. After the party Kori took Annabelle home and gave her a baby book. "Mom who's baby book is this?" Annabelle said looking at the words on the front. "It yours and never forget those words." Kori said looking at Annabelle then giving her a kiss on the forehead…
Annabelle at age 13
Annabelle was now 13 and finishing up her 8th grade year. Kori is still a model and now she's 30 and still has the body of a 20 year old. "Mom it summer break and there's this place I wanted to go." Annabelle said turning her left foot in circles. "We can go to the beach or you can start crime fighting with me."Kori said reading a book. "Forget what I said and let's go crime fighting." Annabelle said and taking her book bag to her room.
After that Kori and Annabelle went for pizza for lunch. Kori started to space out again but this time it was thinking about the Titans for the first time in 2 years. She did see pictures of Arabella when she was young and maybe see her again some today. Annabelle kept painting weapons and tries to be nice like her mother did. It was hard to be a 13 year old girl with a who's a model and a father she barely knows about…
Reality (Annabelle's P.O.V)
Mom has been asleep the whole fight and I'd been going some homework and listening to music. The airplane was about to land so that means I will have to wake her up. I wonder what she was dreaming about, maybe it was my past again because I saw some tears falling from her eyes. "Mommy, wake up." I said and shook her gently. Mom moaned and woke up to see me shaking her. "What's going on?" She asked looking around the remembering we were on the plane again. "We are about to land, mom." I said putting my iPod Touch and homework back in my carryon bag.
After was got off the plane…
