New chapter. Enjoy!

Starfire through an unknown forest, completely confused as how she had gotten there in the first place. All she knew was that she had to run.

"Starfire."

She looked behind her, only to come face to face with Isaac. Seeing him, she slowed down a bit, planning to ask him what was happening, but there was also a sinking feeling inside her. Should she trust him?

"Starfire, stop running. Please."

She stopped, berating herself for doubting him. He would not hurt her; she suddenly felt an extreme amount of comfort. She wanted to speak, but no words would come, so she simply walked toward him. When he grabbed her arm, she did not even flinch.

He smiled at her, that beautiful smile. "Let me help you…as long as you help me." He brought her so she was pressed against him, moving her hair to the side to reveal part of her neck.

She closed her eyes, relaxed. He would take care of her. When she felt his lips on her neck, she was about to open her eyes, but then there was a puncture. She gasped, which then turned into a sigh as the pain was replaced with euphoria.

Moments later, he pulled away and she was brought back to reality. She furrowed her brow at the sudden lingering sting and brought a hand to her neck, her eyes widening when blood was smeared on it. She looked up at Isaac, but it couldn't be him…it had his face, his body, but the teeth. No, not teeth, fangs.

"Don't be afraid…"

She tried to get up, but her legs wouldn't work. Why wouldn't they work? He crept closer and closer…

Starfire sat up with a gasp, in a cold sweat. She was breathing heavily with her eyes wide, when she looked toward Robin. "Ro-Robin. X'hal." She brought a hand to her chest, trying to calm her erratic breaths.

Robin's forehead creased as he searched her face, on hand cupping her cheek and the other holding him up on the bed. "Are you all right? You were screaming."

As she calmed down, she nodded her head, her voice wavering. "Y-yes. I am fine; simply a mare of night. I thank you for your help." She cleared her throat and looked down, embarrassed that Robin had seen her like this. "I believe I shall go back to sleep."

He kept his hold on her, making her confused. "You're still freaked out. I can tell." He sighed and let go, moving to a sitting position next to her, resting on the headboard. "Wanna talk about it?"

She studied him for a moment, not sure if she should tell him or not; he was already hostile toward Isaac, and she didn't want to give him another reason to dislike the man. "Oh, it is not the big deal. You do not need to worry about me." She smiled, and despite her everyday desires, wanted him to go back to his own room.

He regarded her with suspicion, wanting to stay a bit longer to make sure she was all right. He really wanted to know what caused her such fright, but he wouldn't push it; if she didn't want to tell, then he couldn't force it out of her. "Well…maybe I can stay a bit longer. I'm not all that tired anymore."

She narrowed her eyes, catching on. "…If you wish."

They sat in an awkward silence, both fidgeting and trying to think up topics of conversation.

Starfire cleared her throat and turned her head slightly toward him, unnerved by the lack of conversation. "I apologize for losing the bracelet; it must have come undone at the mall of shopping." She bit her lip and looked down, not sure if she should have brought up that subject. She was afraid he would be angry.

He waved a hand. "It happens. Besides, you got it back." When his thoughts turned to how, he felt a sudden anger boil up. He needed to know who that guy was. "So…"

Her big green eyes turned to him, figuring that he wanted her to speak before he continued. "Yes?"

He focused on a spot on the bed, almost afraid to ask his question. There was a chance that the answer he would hear would not be a good one. "This Isaac guy…" He trailed off, glancing toward her.

She blinked. "Oh, yes. He is a friend of mine, I believe." She swallowed, waiting for him to respond.

He raised an eyebrow. That was an odd way to answer the question. "What do you mean 'believe'?"

She began to twiddle her fingers, looking down at them as she did so. "I have only done the running into him a couple of times. The first time was when I needed to buy the noodles, and the second time was at the carnival." She shrugged. "I am guessing that he was at the mall, as well." Her brow furrowed when she went over what she had just said out loud. It was odd how many times she had been running into him, and then finding her bracelet.

And the necklace.

She shook her head; there was no possible way that he could have gotten it for her. He was just paying her a compliment. That was all.

"Star?"

She snapped her head up, looking at him with raised eyebrows. "Hm?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You just had a faraway look in your eyes. Penny for your thoughts?"

She blinked a couple times, not familiar with that expression.

Before she could ask, he smirked and held out his hands. "Sorry. I meant did you want to talk about it?"

She shook her head, looking down. "No, it is fine. Perhaps it was from the research." She clamped a hand over her mouth, realizing what she had just said.

He raised an eyebrow, leaning forward to be able to look at her more fully. "What research?"

"Nothing."

He sighed and gave her a shrewd look. "Starfire, if some sort of research you're doing is causing nightmares, I kinda want to know what it was."

She bit her lip, embarrassed, and shrugged. "It was just the research of the vampires. I was quite interested in it, and I believe that the research travelled to my dreams." Her eyes then widened; she had made it sound like she was afraid. "But I am not afraid of the vampires. He simply just appeared. It was nothing more."

He nodded, then narrowed his eyes. "…He?"

She almost groaned, realizing she had made another mistake. She was much too tired to filter what she was saying. "Oh…it was a man. I believe it was the 'figment of my imagination', yes?"

He kept his eyes narrowed, noticing her nervous behavior, but nodded nonetheless. "All right. I'll take your word for it." He smiled to show his sincerity, and then sobered. "But you know you can tell me or talk to me about anything, right?"

She smiled back and nodded. "Of course, and I thank you for that." She looked at the clock; 3:30 am. "I believe it would be wise to go back to sleep."

He looked at the clock as well, surprised at how late – or early – it really was. "Oh. Yeah. I probably should too; training bright and early." He got up and smiled, lingering for a moment. "You sure you're going to be all right."

She sighed and rolled her eyes with a smile. "Yes, Robin."

He looked at her meekly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry. Just making sure. Good night." He headed for the door.

"Pleasant Shlorvaks." She kept the smile on her face until her door shut, then sighed and sunk down in the bed, exhausted. "X'hal…" She pulled the covers up and stared at the ceiling with a blank expression.

"He would never do such a thing. He is my friend and it was the silly dream. The vampires are fictional." She shook her head, ridding herself of any bad thoughts of Isaac.

MTT

Starfire's alarm went off at eight, which she set to make a nice breakfast for her friends. Once she found out that a large breakfast did not signify a betrothal, she found it wonderful to receive such treatment on a normal basis.

She was sure Robin was already in the training room, but it was on the opposite side of the tower, so she knew he would not be bothered. She got up and stretched, putting a short satin robe over her tank top and shorts, putting white slippers on her feet. She headed to the kitchen as quietly as she could to make sure she didn't wake up her friends – she always wondered why out of all the space, all of their rooms were placed right next to one another – and stepped out into the common room as quietly as possible.

They had remodeled their kitchen the previous year so it was not just a small space over to the side of the common room. It was now made bigger than it used to be, with actual countertops and their table, and walls separated it from the living area. It had greatly improved the kitchen, and offered more privacy to whoever was cooking.

She had decided on a meal of scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon; she had seen Cyborg make it many times, and secretly kept note of how and what he used. She hummed as she cooked the eggs and bacon, using their large toaster to make four pieces at a time.

"Star?"

She jumped with a small squeak, then noticed Robin standing in the doorway wearing only a pair of track pants and running shoes. He had obviously expected no one to be up.

She could help but notice how toned he had become, and it was hard to tear her eyes away. She blushed and turned back to the food, praying his did not catch her staring. "Greetings, Robin. I trust your workout went well?"

He nodded, peeking to see what she was making. "You're making breakfast?" He wasn't sure whether to be grateful or worried, despite the good job she had done with dinner a couple of nights before.

She smiled brightly and nodded. "I am making the eggs, toast, and bacon! I have seen Cyborg make it many times, and I hoped to do the copying of this action. Please," she grabbed a fully cooked piece of bacon, "will you taste it? I do hope I cooked it correctly."

He nodded, taking the piece out of her hand. "Pretty hungry, anyway. I came in here for some cereal, but I guess that plan changed." He winked and took a bite. He nodded with an impressed expression. "This is good. Cyborg's taught you well."

She smiled and blushed. "I thank you. But Cyborg had not taught me, I…secretly watched him. I wished to make the breakfast one day for you all, but I knew he would be the 'antsy' about teaching me." She bit her lip and looked back down at the food.

He shook his head and went over to the cupboards, grabbing some plates to set the table with. "He probably would have, Star. Don't doubt yourself so much."

She nodded, glancing over at him. "Perhaps you are correct."

They worked in silence, her cooking and he setting the table, until Robin spoke up. "Uh…hey, Star?"

She hummed and raised her eyebrows as she looked to him, noticing how uncomfortable he seemed. This confused her, but she did not say anything.

He took a breath and turned fully to her, scratching the back of his head. "I was just wondering…this new fondue place just opened up across from the video store and it looked like it could be fun to check out. If you wanted."

She blinked. "Oh. With our friends?"

He coughed and looked down at the table. "No, more just…you and me." He looked up with her and added hastily, "If that's okay."

She stared at him for a moment. Was he asking her out on a date? She beamed and nodded. "I would love to go with you to the restaurant of the fondue." She wanted to ask if it really was a date, but was afraid that he might retract his offer.

He gave her a lop-sided grin, relaxing. "Great. Say, around seven? Seems like a good dinner time. I'll make reservations when it opens; it's probably pretty busy."

She nodded and bit her lip to keep her from grinning. "Of course. It will be wonderful." She asked him to please take out the larger plates for her to fill with the food, and then set them down in the middle of the table, condiments included. She blinked and looked around. "Perhaps I have made the breakfast too early?"

He shook his head and stood up. "Nah, I'll wake them up." He walked over to the intercom what still held the note for Beast Boy to NOT touch. "Titans, time to get up. Breakfast is on the table." He smiled and walked back over to her, knowing the sound was much too loud for any of them to sleep through. "There. All set."

She bit her lip and blushed. "Oh, you did not have to do that. If they wish to sleep, we could simply leave some for them."

He shook his head, sliding in next to her. "It's almost nine. They can get up."

She nodded and looked down at her plate, hoping her friends would not get made at having to wake up on her behalf. "Whatever you do the saying of."

He rubbed his hands together and looked over the food. "This looks great, Star. Let's grab ourselves some before Beast Boy and Cyborg devour it."

She wanted to wait, but realized that what Robin said was a valid point. "Agreed."

The others were just walking in when the two were already halfway through their food, chatting away. Cyborg raised an eyebrow. "Ya'll couldn't wait?"

Robin looked over at the clock. "You guys took twenty minutes to make it out here. Can you blame us?" He shrugged his shoulders and put his hand over the back of the seat, and near to Starfire's shoulders.

Starfire could feel her face turn hot at the closeness, no matter if Robin realized or not. "I am most sorry. Please, enjoy!" She smiled at the three and motioned toward the food."

The three walked over, Raven smiling when she noticed Starfire had already made her tea. "Thanks."

"Oh, you are most welcome. I kept it heated until you arrived, so do not worry." She smiled brightly back and continued eating her fill.

"Dude, I can't eat anything but toast! What about my-"

Starfire held out a plate of tofu eggs and bacon.

His eyes lit up as he grabbed the plate. "Thanks."

Raven rolled her eyes at his antics, filling her own plate. "You can't just be appreciative?"

Beast Boy narrowed his eyes. "I am! I just thanked her, didn't I?"

She glared at him. "Not before you knew she made your food."

They began to bicker, the other three using it as a form of entertainment – well, more so Robin and Cyborg treated it that way, while Starfire was trying to stop the two.

"Star, don't worry about it." He put a hand in front of her to keep her from intervening, making her feel slight disappointment at him taking down his hand from behind the seat to do the action.

She glanced at him and nodded, and then down at her cleaned plate as she smiled, her mind already off her bickering friends. "I believe I must go pick out an outfit!"

Robin blushed as Cyborg raised an eyebrow. "What for?"

She beamed and clasped her hands together. "Robin and I are going to the restaurant of the fondue this evening."

He covered his face with his hands, thoroughly embarrassed. He was hoping they could sneak away, him offering some sort of half-assed excuse without mentioning it to Starfire. He could already picture all of the teasing that was to happen.

Cyborg looked at him in amusement. "Taking our girl on a date, are you?"

He scowled. "No, a friendly outing." He noticed Starfire deflate slightly, and he wondered why. Sure, he wanted to treat it as a date, but that was in his own mind. He was safe there. Did she want that, too?

Cyborg snorted. "Right."

Robin decided to not pursue his thoughts any further and sufficed with glaring at his friend.

Starfire looked between the two with sad eyes. Of course he didn't want a date. They were best friends, and she had a sinking feeling that was all they would ever be. She looked down at the table, tuning out the rest of the conversation

"Star?"

She looked up, realizing Robin was speaking to her, him leaning over the table to look at her at a better angle. She was surprised to see that the whole table had cleared out except for her and Robin. "Oh. Yes?"

He regarded her carefully. "You all right?"

She feigned a smile and nodded vehemently. "I am positively wonderful! Why would I not be?" She hoped he would not inquire further.

He looked at her for a moment more, then decided to let it go. He was sure he was not ready to have "that" conversation right here. "All right. Just making sure."

She kept the smile in place for as long as she could, turning and flying away quickly. "I shall pick out an outfit!" She didn't wait for a response.

She dropped down on the floor of the hallway, going into a walk, and made her way to Raven's room. After all, she would need a partner in crime to get ready. Once at the door, she knocked lightly. "Raven?"

There were soft footsteps from behind the door, then the sound of it sliding open slightly. "What?"

Starfire bit her lip and clasped her hands behind her back, looking at Raven through her eyelashes. "I was hoping that perhaps you could help me in the preparations for my dinner with Robin?"

Raven blinked. "…That's not really my thing Starfire, sorry."

Before she could shut the door, Starfire placed her hands in the way and held the door open. "Oh, please? I need the help in finding the appropriate attire! I have never been to a restaurant of fondue before."

Raven studied her for a moment, then sighed. "Fine. Let's get this over with."

Starfire squealed happily and followed her friend out.

Robin was sitting on the couch while the other two boys played their game, waiting for Starfire so they could get to the restaurant. When he first called to make reservations, the said they were full. Though he usually didn't like to do it, he namedropped and was able to get in right away, not that he'd tell Star that.

He had decided on a pair of dark wash jeans, black loafers, and a black button up, the first few buttons undone. His hair was styled a little more naturally and mask present, giving him a sexy mysterious vibe. He also wore a silver watch with a black face, which he was checking at the moment.

"So Rob, ready for yer date?"

Robin's head snapped up to see Cyborg and Beast Boy looking over at him. He bristled and blushed. "It's not a date."

Beast Boy snorted. "Dude, seriously? You're dressed in a button-up and are going to a restaurant with Starfire. Alone. She's probably getting all dressed up in some girly dress as we speak."

Cyborg nodded and patted him on the back. "Face it Rob, it's a date."

He glowered at the two boys and raised a finger to start a tirade, when he heard the common room door slide in.

To say he saw a goddess was an understatement.

Starfire stepped into view, a shy smile on her face. She was wearing a love-sleeved – which billowed out and clutched at her wrists – purple silk minidress, with a pair of nude crisscross pumps. She had chosen a rectangular snakeskin clutch and her new necklace, as well ask the bracelet Robin had given her.

As for her hair, it was styled so the ends were curled, making her look like a mermaid. She had silver sparkled eyeshadow on with black lining, as well as soft peach blush and salmon-colored lipgloss.

Robin stood up and brushed himself off, moving so he stood behind the couch, not being able to keep his eyes off of her. He was vaguely aware that his mouth had dropped, and that the other two boys had the same expression. "Starfire…uh…wow." He wanted to go over to her and usher her out, but his legs wouldn't move. He was about to speak again, when his eyes fell on the necklace. "Where did you get that?" Wasn't that the necklace that he wanted to get her?

Her eyebrows raised and she looked down at the necklace. "Oh. Well…someone must have gotten it for me." She blushed and fluttered her eyelashes, thinking Robin was playing coy.

His eyes narrowed while he slowly walked toward her, but saw that she was wearing his bracelet and decided to let it go for the moment. When he took her hand, he got a good whiff of her perfume. "I see you're wearing the perfume I got you." God, it smelled good.

She bit her lip and nodded. "Yes. I thank you for it; it smells wonderful."

He gave her a lop-sided grin, pointedly ignoring the snickers coming from the guys, and ushered her across the room and out to the garage, glaring at the boys from behind him. He closed the door behind them, happy to be out of there, and then smiled at Starfire. He still couldn't get over how nice she looked.

She smiled and looked him over, her eyes lingering at the small amount of his chest that was showing. "You look very nice, Robin."

He smiled and blushed. "Ah…thanks. You look nice, too." More that nice.

There was a moment of silence, of which Starfire broke by clearing her throat. She looked toward the car. "I am guessing we are travelling in the T-Car?"

To that he smirked; time to show off a bit. "Actually…no."

She blinked. "The R-Cycle?"

He shook his head again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of foreign car keys – though not exactly actual keys – out, leading her to the opposite side of the garage.

She watched as they walked to a wall with a small pad on it, and then automatically the wall opened to show a completely new, on car garage.

He looked at her, smiling at her awed expression. "None of the Titans know about this, not even Cyborg. A little paranoid of me, I know." He grabbed her hand again and led her through the door, closing it behind them.

Her eyes widened at the sight before her.

It was a sleek black 458 Italia Ferrari, perched in the middle of the spotless garage. By the look of it, it seemed to not be driven too often. "X'hal…"

He smirked and admired it right beside her. "Prized possession, this is. Don't tell any of the others it's here, though. Welcome to my inner circle of secrets, which consists of…well, only you and me, I guess." He shrugged and unlocked the car, jogging over to the passenger side and opening the door. "After you."

She beamed, impressed and flattered that he would trust her with his small secret. She took his hand for him to help her in the seat, even though she didn't need it, and then buckled up as he closed the door and went over to the driver's seat.

When the car started, she looked over and around the steering wheel, baffled. "Where on the keys for this marvelous traveling device?"

He smiled at her usage of 'marvelous' and then showed her a red button on the bottom left of the steering wheel. "Right here, where it says 'start engine'. Pretty cool, huh? Pretty much all of the commonly used commands are on the steering wheel."

Her eyes widened, an excited smile adorning her angelic face. "I enjoy this car very much."

He laughed and nodded. "Me too." He pushed a small button to open the garage (she had not noticed that it was slightly underground before, seeing as she didn't remember going farther down than the normal garage) and set the car into gear. "Get ready."

Before she could ask what he meant, the car was flying down the bridge and to the streets of Jump City. She smiled at his enthusiastic grin; boys will be boys. "This car goes quite fast."

He nodded. "That's a Ferrari for you."

She giggled. "I enjoy the name."

He raised an eyebrow, then chuckled. "You would."

She was surprised as to how relaxed he had gotten; it seemed that the minute he stepped foot in the car, his confidence increased tenfold. He hadn't blushed at all, and was speaking in a subtly flirtatious tone. She decided she really like this car. A thought then came to her. "Robin?"

He glanced over at her, one hand on the steering wheel and the other folded at the elbow by the window. "Hm?"

"If you do not want our friends to know of this car, how do you manage to do the hiding of it when you park it elsewhere?" She looked over the car as she spoke, trying to find a solution.

He nodded, her question valid. He motioned down to the area where a normal car would have a console. "You see that small yellow button?"

She looked down at it and nodded.

"It's a holographic cover. Makes it invisible, as well as have a small shield so it doesn't get damaged."

Her eyes widened, looking over at him in awe. "Do all the Ferraris have such a device?"

He shook his head with a smile. "Nope. Bruce installed it."

She nodded, looking back down at it. "That would be quite useful." She turned to the window, watching as buildings and people flashed by.

"There it is."

She turned her head to look out of his window, the car slowing down as it turned into the drive. He parked the car in the most deserted area of the parking lot (which was quite hard to find, but he managed), and turned it off. When Starfire went to open her door he held up his hand to stop her, then got out of the car and went to her side.

He opened the door and held out his hand for her to take. "It's the guy's job to open the door." He was about to add that she should always remember that, but he didn't want to entertain the idea of her out with another man. No. Uh uh.

She smiled and looked down, taking his hand and stepping out of the car and allowing him to shut the door behind her. She felt butterflies in her stomach when he did not let go of her hand as they made their way to the restaurant, Robin pressing a small button on his key ring to hide the car. She bit her lip to keep from grinning; did he still believe this was not a date?

He let go of her hand when they reached the doors, him opening it for her and then walking in himself. He led her up to the hostess' podium, about to open his mouth.

The woman smiled. "Robin and Starfire! Right this way." She grabbed two menus and beckoned them along.

Robin was surprised. Even if he did make a reservation, he didn't expect for it to be right on time. It never was with busy places like this. When they made it to the table, he swallowed. It was in the darkest part, somewhat apart from the rest of the ruckus, with candlelight in the middle of the table, which would be moved when the food came.

Both sat down and the woman placed the menus in front of them. "Enjoy your date."

Starfire blushed and Robin began to cough, slouching down and opening the menu, his hand positioned on the side of his head to slightly shield himself from view.

Starfire noticed his behavior and sighed; she should have known better. She opened her own menu, looking through the items. It was silent, and it was beginning to unnerve her. She cleared her throat, making sure to catch his attention. "I thank you for taking me here. It is very kind of you."

He smiled and nodded. "No problem. We'll be sure to bring the rest next time."

That stung. She did her best to keep the pained look off her face, and succeeded. "Yes." She chose to focus on the menu in front of her, trying to keep her thoughts on the various choices.

"Starfire?"

She felt a shiver run down her spine, yet she didn't know why. She looked up, already knowing who she would see. "Isaac, what are you doing here?" She smiled at him, glancing at the woman on his arm. She was a pretty petite blonde in a small dress and wearing a ridiculous amount of makeup.

He gave her a lopsided grin and glanced over at Robin, then back to her. "Seems like we're here for the same reasons. This is my date, Rebecca."

She smiled and exchanged hellos, Starfire narrowing her eyes when the girl's eyes lingered on Robin too long for her taste. She looked back at Isaac, not wanting to be rude, but wanting to spend time alone with Robin as well. "It is wonderful seeing you here. I hope you enjoy your date."

Robin kept his face passive, but inside he was irked. Why did this guy always have to pop up? He knew there was no reason to dislike him other than the fact that he was friends with Starfire, but to him that was enough. "Yeah, have fun." He waved, expecting them to leave.

Isaac looked between them with calculating eyes, then a smile came to his face. "Hey, how about we sit together? You know, a double date of sorts." He looked toward Starfire. "We haven't really been able to have a full conversation yet, have we?"

She blinked, disappointed, but nodded. "I believe you are correct." She looked over at Robin apologetically, her thoughts most likely the same as his.

He smirked and nodded, then turned to Robin. "This all right, Robin?" There was something off about his tone.

Robin looked at Starfire, who was looking back down at her menu, and then sighed. "Sure." Another reason on the dislike list of this man.

Isaac nodded and then turned to the girl, whispering in her ear. She smiled and nodded, scooting in next to Robin.

Robin's eyes widened as he scooted farther, surprised at what had just happened. He turned to face Starfire, and noticed Isaac had done the same with her. He kept a growl from pouring out, and instead cleared his throat loudly. "Hey, how about we change seats? You can sit by your date, and I'll sit by mine."

Isaac smiled and shook his head. "No. You're fine right where you are."

Robin wasn't sure what had just happened. There was something…odd about his voice. Odd, yet relaxing and hypnotic. Before he realized, he was agreeing. "All right."

Starfire looked over at him, and then glanced at the girl with disdain.

"That's a beautiful necklace."

She turned her head to look at Isaac, who was smiling down at her. "Um…I thank you." She subconsciously fingered the necklace, glancing back at Robin, who suddenly seemed impassive.

"You're very welcome." He put a hand behind the booth and near Starfire's shoulders, making her quite uncomfortable.

Why did Robin still seem so impassive?

They had soon ordered and ate their dinner in an eerie manner, Isaac continuously making conversation with Starfire, as the other girl tried to talk to Robin. It wasn't working so well.

Soon enough, the food was almost gone and the waitress brought them their bills. Isaac reaching for one, and Robin grabbing the other.

Isaac gripped the bill that was in Robin's hands, a charming smile on his face. "Let me."

Robin narrowed his eyes at him, but seemed to not be able to refuse. He was supposed to be paying this check, regardless of the offering. Why was he allowing it?

They all got out of their seats and next to their respective partners, Starfire keeping on hand on Robin's forearm.

Isaac turned toward her with his charming smile. "This was fun."

She nodded. Despite the odd behavior of Robin, she had enjoyed conversing with Isaac. She still wished it was only her and Robin, but she took what she could get. "Have a nice night."

Before she could try and turn again, she felt Isaac touch her elbow, making her turn back.

He glanced down, and then back up at her. "Hey, maybe I could stop by some time? We could get to know each other some more, and I'd love to spend some time with your friends."

She opened her mouth, not sure what to say. It seemed perfectly valid, and a friendly thing to do. "Um…okay. I shall give you my number for the phone of the cell."

He chuckled and her wording and nodded, writing down the number on the back of his receipt after she recited it off. "I'll give you a call." He waved and began to walk away with his date, when he looked back once. "Oh, and be free."

She blinked. What did that mean?

Robin shook his head, closing his eyes for a moment, and then looked back at Starfire. "What the hell just happened there? Did he say he was coming over?" If was funny; just a moment ago he didn't care, but now he could feel the anger come.

Starfire bit her lip and removed her hand from his arm, looking down. "…He is my friend, and he said he wished to meet our other friends as well. It will not do the harm." She smiled at him as best as she could, grabbing onto him again. "Please, let us go home."

He narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction that Isaac had gone, then turned back to Starfire. "C'mon."

Damn, Isaac's suave.
