Starfire walked towards the common room. The door slid open and revealed three teenagers. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing games while Raven was reading a book. Starfire headed for the refrigerator and took out something that covered in sticky blue substance as breakfast. Nobody except Starfire would dare to eat those… stuff. The other Titans did not consider them as food.
Starfire ate them quietly while watching Cyborg and Beast Boy playing games. Today seemed to be Cyborg's day as he won for the fifth time today according to Beast Boy's ranting.
"It's not fair! You must be cheating!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Act like a man and accept your defeat, okay?" Cyborg said while danced a victory dance around Beast Boy.
"No! I'm sure of it! You must be cheating! Or else how would I lose? I'm like the king of the games!" Beast Boy pointed a finger towards Cyborg's face.
"But you did lose while I'm sure I did not cheat," Cyborg put an innocent look on his face.
"Stay here! I'm going to find a referee so that our race is fair. You are not going to cheat again and it will be the time for us to know who is the king of the games!" Beast Boy said.
"Challenge accepted!" Cyborg raised his eyebrow.
Beast Boy looked around the room to see two girls. Raven would never wanted to be involved in their game. Starfire… she would help willingly but even the explanations of the game to her would waste half of the day. He shook his head.
"Star, did you see Robin around?" Beast Boy asked.
"No," Starfire shook her head, "I did not, Beast Boy. I did not see Robin around after I woke up."
"Dude! Where is he? How can he disappear in an important time like this?" Beast Boy scratched his head.
"I think you will not find him now. Didn't you ever notice how he always disappears on weekends? Especially around time like now?" Raven looked up from her book.
"Uh, no?" Beast Boy looked at Cyborg, "did he?"
"I sort of remember it after Raven mentioned about it but I have no idea where did he go." Cyborg shrugged, "do you know about it, Star?"
"I do not know. He did not tell me his whereabouts," Starfire answered.
"Even you do not know? That's strange." Beast Boy rubbed his chin.
"He promised he will tell me later but it seems long time ago since then," Starfire added. It had been three months.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm rang.
"Trouble!" Cyborg got up from the sofa and tapped on the keyboard. He turned his head to them, "Dr. Light is robbing the bank."
"Seriously, when will that guy ever give up?" Raven stood up after putting a bookmark on the page that she read.
"I think he won't. Neither will us. Lets go," Cyborg said.
"Should we inform Robin about this?" Starfire asked.
"Perhaps we should," Cyborg said, "Although I'm positive that we can defeat Dr. Light even without him."
Four of them went towards the monitor. Cyborg contacted Robin.
"Yo man! Where are you?"
"Are you sure he is there now? The screen is still blank," Raven asked curiously.
"Yes Raven. I'm here," Robin's voice came out from the speaker. He did not speak loudly like everytime he did. He sounded like he was whispering, "I just did not open the webcam."
"Robin, why did you wish not to show us your face? And why did you speak so softly?" Starfire stepped forward to the monitor although Robin could not see it.
"Er, Star. I don't think now is the best time. And actually I'm not suppose to talk with you all right now. I am… in the middle of something," Robin whispered.
"But Robin," Cyborg cut in, "Dr Light is robbing the bank."
"Dr Light…He should not be a problem for you all. Can you go on without me?" Robin asked.
"I think we can. I just wish to know if you would like to join us," Starfire said.
"The young man behind. I thought I told you all not to use your cellphones in the middle of the class, did I?" a man's voice came out from the speaker. Footsteps that came nearer to Robin were heard.
"Aw shit, gotta go."
Robin ended the conversation abruptly.
The Titans just stood there staring at the always blank screen.
"Never mind him. It's not like we can't handle Dr. Light ourselves. Titans go!" Cyborg yelled. Beast Boy turned into a pterosaur and gave Cyborg a lift while Starfire and Raven flew out to their destination.
Needless to say, the Titans finished the fight in a short time. Cyborg tied up Dr. Light who was still appear to be unbelievable in his defeat and the rest of the team eyed the police to escort Dr. Light to the jail.
"Hey guys," a voice came behind them. They turned around to see Robin.
"Sorry but I tried to come here as soon as possible. It seemed you did not need my help," Robin praised them indirectly although none of them seemed to notice.
"Robin, where did you go?" Cyborg asked.
"Don't tell me you are out there finding Slade again, are you?" Raven cut in, "I thought you are not obsessive with him anymore."
"No, of course not," Robin shook his hands.
"Then what are you doing exactly?" Beast Boy asked with a playful look.
"Nothing big. Just walk around the city. No big deal," Robin spat out. Robin changed the topic, "It's lunch time. Shall we go eat some pizzas? I'll pay,"
"Sweet! Lets go!" Beast Boy turned into a cheetah and ran in a high speed to the pizza place. Raven and Cyborg sighed before following him.
Starfire stood at the same place where she had been since just now, looking at the ground.
"What's wrong, Star?" Robin approached her.
Starfire stared at Robin. She really wanted to ask where he was and what he was doing out there but she knew that she could never get answers from Robin. She had been trying that for three months. He just kept convincing her that he will tell her some time later. How long is the 'later'? She did not know.
"Nothing is wrong, Robin. Now shall we proceed to join our friends?" Starfire smiled.
"Sure," Robin grabbed her hand and they walked towards their friends. He did it so naturally. Starfire thought that he didn't even realize that he held her hands.
Starfire smiled sweetly.
Although Robin was nice to her Starfire couldn't stand the curiosity of her to know what Robin did every weekend. Is Robin hiding something from her? It couldn't be something bad, could it?
Starfire really couldn't stand it anymore.
It's time for Starfire to be a detective.
