A/N: HI! I'M BACK! Yes, I know I took an incredibly long break from this story, but I had a case of writer's block and I just wasn't feeling the story, and wanted to trash it all together. However, my friend judged me for leaving you guys hanging, and well I decided, that's not fair. So, yes I will be picking up where I left off. ENJOY!

Chapter 4- New, and Old Faces
(Star's POV)
As Starfire slowly made her way into the hallway outside Robin's room, she saw her worst nightmare right in front of her. Her sister. Starfire could feel her blood boil at the sight of her, well the back of her. Star knew she shouldn't be that angry, Blackfire was a Princess and all, and her sister, so it could be expected of her to celebrate Starfire's birthday with her. However, Star wished she that she wouldn't come. Starfire cleared her throat, and as her sister turned, she plastered a fake, cheery smile on her face.
"Sister!" Blackfire squealed. She flew towards her and tackled her into a hug. Starfire made a strange "Oof" noise at her sister's assault, and was a little shocked to see how sweet, and affectionate her sister was being.
"Hello, Blackfire." Starfire said slowly, eyeing her sister, she still looked the same, long black hair, piercing purple eyes, and the same tinted skin.
"Oh Starfire, Happy Birthday! I got you a present, and don't worry, it wasn't stolen." Blackfire joked, she handed Star a meticulously wrapped box.
"Thank you, sister. I shall open later." Starfire said.
"No! Open it now, Karras will want to see it on you!" Blackfire protested. Starfire blinked at her, she heard Karras would be there, but she wasn't sure. Blackfire must've noticed confusion in her eyes, because she asked,
"You know he was coming, didn't you?"
"Of course." Star squeaked, her voice a bit hoarse. She cleared her throat once more, "Of course." She repeated.
"Does Robin know?" Blackfire asked, seriously.
"Not yet, but he will shortly." Starfire said as she opened the box, she pulled through the tissue paper to find a card, it read-
Koriand'r,
I hope you enjoy your 18th birthday, and I hope you find your present most enchanting, however, not nearly as enchanting as you. Nor could this gem compete with your beauty. Wear it as often as you can, Princess.
Forever yours, Karras.
Kori,
Happy Birthday baby sister! Although you are no longer a baby, enjoy this gem, I travelled far to obtain it! You will look absolutely gorgeous with it on your person, not that you are not already gorgeous, this will just enhance your appearance.
Love, Komand'r
Starfire simply smiled at the sweet writings on the card, and turned to unravel the rest of the tissue. The tissue concealed a beautiful jade pendant that was surrounded by smaller, lighter green gems, all joined together by platinum band. It was laced together as a necklace. It was breathtaking.
"Oh Komi," Starfire gasped, "It's gorgeous!" She wrapped her arms around her sister in a vice hug.
"Oh, please, do not hand all the credit over to me, it was Karras' idea. However, you can thank him later." Blackfire said, tugged Starfire along, "We must go find Galfore, he is dying to see you, and then you can come back and get your friends, and then we can greet Karras. Won't that be nice?"
"Mmm, yes, it will be nice." Starfire said distracted by the message from Karras on her card. Far too distracted to question where she was going, or that a certain someone was listening in on her conversation, behind closed doors…
(Robin's POV)
Robin jerked back from his bedroom door, he had heard Starfire's and Blackfire's entire conversation. He raked his gloved hand through his hair, and let out a frightened sigh. Who the hell was this Karras guy? And why was he writing such sappy notes in a card for Star? And Komi? What kind of fucking name is that?
Robin paced back and forth in his bedroom, pondering the subject of Starfire and this Karras, just thinking the name wanted to make him vomit.
"What if she likes him better than me? What if he convinces her to stay here with him? Jesus Christ, what if he's hot?!" Robin furiously hissed to himself. So many thoughts were buzzing around in his head. What would happen to him if Starfire left? What would happen to the team?
"God damn, this guy is going to give me a panic attack, and I haven't even met the bastard!" He said. He couldn't even process his life without Starfire. Just trying to pursue the thought, made him want to punch the wall in.
"I have to calm down. Maybe I have zero competition. Maybe she doesn't even like him like that. Maybe she never did. And before, we kissed, we almost fucked, and she wants to finish that later!" Robin shouted, reassuring himself.
"If she didn't love me, then why would she want that?" He laughed, he was a god damn idiot. He decided to get his mind off the ordeal, he would unpack. As he was doing this, he came across his 'Personal' bag. It had a picture of his parents, something he always wanted with him, Batman's cape and mask, and pictures of the team. Specifically of Star. Them hugging, standing together, walking, talking, eating together. And then some of just her.
He sighed, she was so beautiful, and his heart warmed just at the sight of her. He was acting so stupid, but he couldn't help it, he was impulsive when it came to her. He wanted to save her from the world. When it came to her, his heart swelled up twice its size.
He sighed and laid down on the bed, he took off his mask and shut his eyes. He soon fell into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of a world with just him and Starfire.
A/N: So, what'cha thinks as a returning chapter? Just a little look into Robin's mind, and what his true feelings are for Starfire. The next chapter will have a bit more spice to it. Review and favorite as always. I might do something where whoever writes the 20th review, gets a fanfic of their choice. So review guys, and it could be yours!
Love Ya! Sam.
