This one is kind of long. But gets interesting in the end, I was giggling when I was imagining the reaction of robin! You will know what I m talking about…

Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 4

He looked across the empty common room while the common room doors shut behind him. Then he spotted the larva munching on an empty wrapper of M&Ms. He smirked at him thinking how innocent the larva is and then looked at the window. It was 4:30 am, the dawn was about to break in, he could spot the sea gulls flying across the bay in the light of the new dawn.

Then he went over to the kitchen to see what he can find to the girl to eat.

Hmm, what does she eat? Damn I should've asked? But obvious the geniuse mind in me has to mumble stupidity infront of her like a desperate druggie teen. I really need a vacation to Gotham and to learn how to talk from Alfred all over again.

After cursing his stupidity, he went to the fridge and opened the door, glancing at the contents.

God is there any food that's not expired over months? Donuts, cupcakes, he thought for a minute, I want them for the week to deal with the team, leftover spaghetti…nah Cy is gonna kill me…tofu burger!…she might run away from the tower if I give her that…mustard (chuckles) …cheese pie!hhhmm..

After picking the right choice, robin took some soda for the girl and started to walk towards the medical room.

Hesitantly proceeding to the door, robin inhaled and exhaled deeply.

Everything is going to be cool. Act like a leader robin, act like a friend… but I hardly know her, oh! Whatever, not like I am gonna let her stay here without knowing who she is and how the fire bolts appeared on her hands. But now let's make her feel comfortable.

He carefully and softly knocked the door, not wanting any more shocking gestures.

"yes?" she asked, her voice quivering slightly, obvious that she was still weeping.

"uh, i-its me, mind if I come in?" he asked softly but loud enough to let her hear.

"Why would I mind, please come in" she said after thinking over the question for 5 seconds.

Robin proceeded and opened the door wide enough to let him in the room. The girl was sitting on the bed back towards the door, legs hanging from the bed.

Robin preceded a bit closer to her and placed the tray and the soda on the desk beside her bed.

"I…apologies…for…my reaction." She said as she stood up in order to look at him straight.

"Hey, don't worry, well you were quite scared and tired at that time, if I were you then I would have done the same." Robin said.

"I brought you something eat…and drink, maybe you will feel better" he asked while scratching his head.

He gazed at her as she looked up to his masked eyes, as if knowing the color and the emotions hid beneath them. Her expressions were different from being scared, or nervous, which was confusing and making him feel relaxed. They gazed at each other with questions and feelings that were strange to them. It was less of the awkward silence, but more like as if they were slowly drowning in each other's gaze. The ecstasy in her eyes was preventing robin not to turn away from her or to avoid her straight look. Her coal black eyes were so spiritual that robin started to feel vulnerable and lifeless. As seconds went by, they began to perceive every single detail about their observer. Her long strands scattered on her cheek, the fine lined eye brow which were raised due to what they were looking at, her innocent face with swollen lips, as she cried before.

She kept looking at robin; his features, his personality and his gaze were making her feel like she might melt away. She had never seen such a fine man standing infront of her feeling the same situation as she was now feeling. She too began to note his appearance, his masked face which worked like a veil of a mysterious man, his jet black hair which were styled, his muscular lean body and his lips, which were gaped a bit.

Five minutes went by when robin's communicator rang. Both were startled for a while as the teen snapped what he was doing ( or looking) and finally took the obstacle out of his utility belt and checked it,

"Uh...its 5 am", he finally said.

Then he looked back at the girl, "I think I should give you time to…. Rest, I will come by to check how you are" then he turned to the door and walked near it. He can hear her sign in relief. He closed the door behind slightly and walked to his room, rigid and emotionless; seem to be almost like raven's brother, except his cheeks were red.

After getting a bit of rest and having a warm refreshing shower, robin was able to think coherently. He wasn't sure what to think about, although there was tornado of thoughts going around in his mind at the time.

She may not cause a threat like raven predicted. But if she is not a threat then who is she? She has powers. I saw it in my own eyes, her hands were glowing! But then how did she end up here. And for heaven sake what gets into me as I try to talk to her. Whenever I try my best to talk to her seriously, I end up mumbling something RECKLESS to her. What is she gonna think? Some fucking little kid trying to help her out. Did I just call myself a kid? It's not like she is older than me. She looks like she is 19 or 20. Oh, why am I comparing, it's not like we are gonna go as couple! What am I thinking?

It was 8 am in the morning when robin felt knock in his door. He groaned at himself and his thoughts and went upto the door and opened it slightly to see who is in there. He did not have his uniform on, but his masks are always on to hide his identity. He was sure that the girl may not find where he lives, but he was still conscious of his looks.

"Hey starfire, you are early this morning. Whats up?

"Robin, I have come here to ask for your permission"

"Permission, for what?" his eye brow raised

"I want to check on our guest Maya, I wish to see if she is doing well" she said hesitantly, doubts that he may disagree to her idea.

"yeah sure, I think she needs company, like a female company! I think you should talk to her and give her something to wear. She might feel need something comfy to wear" robin suggested

"O, glorious! I shall go to her and tell her the wonderful news. Can I offer her some tameranian glofkaroch milkshake, she might—

"Star I think she is..fine…I have already gave her some food to eat" robin said instantly think how horrible it might be if starfire gives her something of her tameranian food to consume. Even cyborg would agree of eating the tofu burger than drinking or eating starfire's home planet dishes.

"As you wish, I shall go and fetch for the Maya's companionship"

"Sure star, see you later for breakfast"

It was 9 am in the morning when starfire decided to check the new girl.

(Knocking in the door)

"Hello friend, may I enter the room. I seek for your companionship! Starfire beamed as she asked politely.

"yes" was the response, to which starfire eagerly accepted and entered the room with no hesitation (unlike robin, ofcource)

"I.. don't know your name" Maya asked, with slight gloominess in her voice as starfire came in the view.

"O, fear not friend Maya, I shall introduce myself to you. My name is starfire in earthly translation" starfire answered

"What do you mean by earthly translation, are you not from this planet?" maya asked after shifting herself a bit away from the red head girl who was sitting close to her on the bed.

" no no! I am not from this planet, however this is my home now, I belong to planet tameran. I came here 3 years ago in earthly time, when I met robin, beastboy, raven and cyborg. From then on we serve this territory"

"Serve?" the girl asked with more curiosity about the people who gave her the hospitality and kindness.

"yes, we serve the city from eerie monster and intellectual and psychotic villains"

"you all comprise powers?" the girl asked with excitement in her voice which instantly went high as starfire mentioned the words "serve" and "villains"

"I will tell you everything about us soon, but before that you should tell me if are ready for the morning brunch so that I can bring you food so that you can consume"

"Do I have to stay in this room…forever?" maya asked while hesitantly scratched her head.

"Certainly not friend, I am willing to acquire you to the other part of the tower and to the other friends in this place"

" that will be kind of you firestar"

At this starfire began to giggle heartily, "my name is changeable, relatively hilarious"

"Eh…sorry..starfire?" she asked sheepishly.

"ah yes, you have succeeded" starfire declared as she had her thumbs up infront of the girl.

Both laughed heartily at this.

After that starfire showed the girl to her bathroom for her, so that she can get fresh, meanwhile starfire brought her some cloth to wear from her wardrobe. Starfire was content at the new friend of her. Although raven is also a girl who lives with her along with the boys, starfire wanted someone who can be similar to her in some ways. Raven was a girl, but she maintained her privacy more than a girly bond with starfire. Starfire was happy that Maya was their guest, but at the same time she was worried about her likelihood of staying in the tower, since no one knows anything about her. It was hardly 10 hours when Maya came to her life, but starfire was beginning to bond with her, she felt that Maya was a companion, a sister and a best friend (other than robin) who will not get frown if she enters her room, or ask her to go to the mall of shopping with her.

THE MALL OF SHOPPING? I shall take friend Maya to the mall of shopping; she needs to get a fine set of clothes for her size. I must speak to her about it. But is there a chance of her staying in here. Robin may not allow anyone else to join the group after what terra did to us. How will he let this poor girl stay in this quarter? Robin must decide fast before anything bad happens.

There was a beep in starfire's belt, which made her come back to reality. She took her communicator out and pressed the receive button.

" yes?"

" yo! Star…I need help to carry some huge metals to the gym; I am trying to build up new system for the obstacle courses, we need to work on more defense and all, come fast little lady.

"Yes, I am arriving in the gym in short time friend cyborg."

"waitin for ya!

Meanwhile, robin was done with his trainings for the morning. He glanced at how sweaty he looked and determined that if he stayed like this for next 10 minutes he might have cause the tower to stink.

I really need shower, oh lord! I so hope I don't see the girl before I am done with my shower… impressions and expectations is all she needs to see in me!

He went to his room and grabbed his uniform and walked out of the room to go to the common shower, which was way larger than the shower in his room. He decided he needs space and time to organize himself to begin the big day.

On the other side, Maya was almost done with her shower; she looked over to see if starfire left her some fresh cloths, smiling at the hospitality, she turned off the shower. She looked herself in the large mirror of the bathroom and remembered the incident that happened last night with her and the boy wonder. She got reddened and laughed to herself. She started to dry her hair with the towel slowly, while remembering the incident and smiling.

Robin looked at his watch and guessed that the restroom is probably not taken by his team mates, as they have fixed timings of shower, except beast boy, as for him time is something that can be as close him, as raven is.

Robin let a sigh for not encountering the girl in the morning with his "not so" appearance. He was standing in front of the door of the bathroom, as he held the knob carelessly and turned it and the door was open, he looked up….

Oooo…. Lets see what happens next! Cant wait till I am done with the next one! But I am happy that I am to my fourth chapter.

Please review… I will be begging soon…

But I love you all!
