The girl initially seemed surprised by Robin's hug, but then wrapped her arms around him as well. Once they released each other, she smiled.
"That's because I've never had amnesia, Boy Wonder," she told him. Robin chuckled.
"So you're Roy's 'irrevocable proof'?" he confirmed.
"Not the way I'd put it."
"Me either," Robin replied, shrugging.
"Speedy," they both agreed. The other four Titans watched the newcomer cautiously, a little worried that she seemed to connect with their friend in a way they currently couldn't.
"Hello," Cyborg offered finally. She turned to face him, smiling slightly.
"Hi Cyborg," she replied. Immediately, Cyborg's eyes widened, Beastboy blinked rapidly, edging backwards slightly, Starfire frowned, and Raven raised an eyebrow.
"How'd you know that?" Cyborg asked cautiously. The girl looked slightly bemused.
"I recognized your voice from the phone?" she suggested. "Or you told me that you were a cyborg. Take your pick." The Titans relaxed. Robin glanced back and forth between the girl and the Titans, a confused expression on his face.
"You guys don't know each other?" he asked.
"Not at all," Starfire pronounced almost lightly enough to hide the animosity in the statement. The girl shook her head.
"Why not?"
"Probably because you broke up," Beastboy explained, slightly annoyed. Upon seeing the look of total confusion on Robin's face, he continued. "Which you might really not know because you don't remember being together…"
"I'm going to kill him," the girl muttered under her breath as Robin rounded on her, looking more than a little surprised. "No. That did not happen."
"It didn't?" Robin asked. The Titans exchanged a look at the slight tone of disappointment that underlaid their leader's voice.
"No, but I'm going to kill Speedy later," she announced, smiling in an annoyed way. Beastboy ginned.
"So you don't have a secret ex-girlfriend?" he exclaimed excitedly. "Sweet, I knew you'd tell us something like that!"
"So who are you?" Starfire asked.
"I'm…"
"She's Batgirl," Robin declared. The Titans glanced at each other, and Batgirl frowned slightly.
"Like Batman, Batgirl," Cyborg confirmed.
"Sure," Batgirl replied, less than enthusiastically.
"You two used to work together?" Raven asked. Robin started to protest but caught himself.
"Yeah, I guess so," he said, looking to Batgirl for agreement. She nodded.
"So you know Batman too?" Beastboy exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes," Batgirl replied tersely.
"That's so cool!" Beastboy exclaimed. "Can we meet him? Please? That would be awesome!"
"You've never met Batman?" Robin demanded. "Why wouldn't you know Batman?"
"You don't really talk about your past," Cyborg explained.
"Why not?"
"If you don't tell us about your past, why would we know why you don't talk about it?" Raven pointed out. Robin considered this for half a second, then turned to Batgirl.
"What aren't you telling me?" he asked suspiciously.
"You and Batman had a falling out," she answered after a second's hesitation.
"What?" he exclaimed. "Why?" Batgirl sighed, regarding him for a second.
"Robin, do we really need to drag this back up?" she asked.
"What happened?" Robin repeated determinedly. The four Titans looked at each other, starting to suspect that brining up Robin's past wasn't the best idea.
"Robin…" Batgirl tried to appease him, but he continued to glare. "Fine. You nearly got killed, Batman wanted you to stop being Robin, and we haven't spoken since. Happy now?" Robin stopped, his eyes wide. Cyborg, Starfire, and Beastboy all looked worried, and Raven raised both her eyebrows. Batgirl just seemed frustrated.
"Why haven't we talked?" Robin asked finally, his tone suspicious. Batgirl laughed hollowly.
"Oh, I'm sure it's all my fault," she replied sarcastically.
"That's…" Robin started to snap, then clapped his hands over his head. "Ow!"
"Are you alright?" Starfire asked. Robin collapsed onto the ground. "Robin!" Batgirl dropped to her knees next to him, rolling him onto his back and checking his pulse.
"He'll be fine," she said, pushing herself back to her feet as the Titans rushed forward. She stepped backwards so she was out of their way. "Heck, he'll probably remember everything when he wakes up. Just do me a favor, and call the British guy if he doesn't."
"The British guy?" Cyborg asked, looking back over his shoulder to confirm, but she was already gone.
"What was that?" Beastboy asked.
"Let's just get Robin to the infirmary," Cyborg announced.

"Batman fired Robin?" Beastboy asked as soon as they'd put Robin in the infirmary. "And why doesn't Batgirl want us calling her?"
"Beastboy," Raven snarled. "Robin didn't want us to know any of this. Now we know why. So let's leave it alone."
"But…" Robin started to stir, and they rushed into infirmary. Starfire got there first.
"Robin?" she asked timidly.
"Hey Star," he offered weakly. She grinned.
"How are you feeling?" Cyborg asked.
"Like I got blown up," he replied. "What did you expect?"
"You're making jokes?" Beastboy observed, clearly confused.
"I'm allowed to joke," Robin replied, pushing himself into a sitting position. "How long was I out?"
"What do you remember?" Raven inquired calmly.
"Bank robbery, bomb, protecting the kid, explosion…" he listed. "Why?"
"Just worried you might have hit your head," Cyborg explained confidently, after exchanging a look with the other Titans.
"Well I certainly hit my head," Robin agreed. "But I think I'm okay."
"We are most overjoyed that you are alright!" Starfire exclaimed, excited now that the situation had been resolved. ""I will prepare a celebratory feast!"
"Let's get pizza!" Cyborg declared immediately, accompanied by the frantic nodding of Beastboy.

Batgirl settled onto the end of a dock, taking a deep breath. After taking a second to compose herself, she pushed herself back to her feet, and glanced at the giant T across the bay. She's known she shouldn't have come. There was a reason she hadn't talked to him for two years.
She turned back around, and smiled slightly. She still owed Roy one for telling the Titans she was Robin's ex. Maybe she could make one stop on the way back from Gotham. However, she found a dark figure standing at the end of the dock behind her.
"Hello," he offered in a low masculine voice. "Who might you be?"
