"Wow. That's really an amazing story. I love it!" Said Beast Boy.

"So, how's your watching, Raven?" Asked I.

"Ah. Well. I have to say... She's not lying. I can feel from her mind." Said Raven, "The whole story is true."

"Great!" I cheered, "So, Starfire, or Ko-ri-and'r. ("You can call me Kory if you like." Said Starfire.) Okay. Kory, do you want to join us? Help us to protect this planet."

"Of course!" Said Starfire, "I would like to join the wonderful Titans!"

Days with Starfire were happy ones. Titans tried their best to explain and teach our new friend about the culture and custom on Earth- not by kissing, of course. Starfire was smart, but she still had a lot of things to learn: she kept her Tamaranean mind and ideas.

One day, I was reading Foundation, written by Asimov, my favorite Sci-Fic Author, in my room. Then a sound of knocking interrupted me. "Nightwing. It is me, Starfire. May I come in?"

"Sure. Come on in, please." Said I.

But what I saw next was really unexpected. Starfire came in and closed the door. I raised my head from the book, and then I screamed! Starfire... She... She was naked!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed, "Starfire, could you put on some clothes? Or... Or at least," I took my sheet from the bed, "put on this."

"Why? Friend Nightwing." Starfire did not understand my behavior, "I just took a shower, and the sunlight and breeze have dried me. I do not need any towel."

"No, no, no." I wrapped her with the bedclothes, "Say nothing and put out this first."

"Thank you, friend Nightwing. But is this a special custom on Earth?"

I let her sit down, and took another seat for myself. "Well, what can I say? Uh... It is a traditional etiquette on this planet not to be naked. You know. You need to put on clothes outside. Understand?"

"Sure." Starfire smiled, "I got it, friend Nightwing." Her smile is really beautiful.

"Call me Dick." I told her my real name. "Dick Grayson."

"But, what about Nightwing?" Asked Starfire, "You told me you are Nightwing."

"Uh... Just like you. Dick is my formal name, like Kory. And Nightwing, just like Starfire, is... Not a formal name. My friend always call Dick." I made a smile.

"Oh, I understand, Dick." Her two dimples showed on her face when she smiled.

"So, now, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, I almost forgot it." S aid she, "I think maybe you can teach how to use the computer on Earth."

"There is no computer on Tamaran?"

"Yes, we have computers, but our computers are totally different from those on Earth. But we only use computers to work rather than to relax like you earthlings do. So perhaps you can teach me about the Internet on Earth."

"Oh, sure." I turned on my laptop, "It is really enjoyable to live the Internet. You know, you can search for information, play games, listen music, watch movies, and so on, with a computer linked with the Internet."

Suddenly, the alarm interrupted me. "Emergency!" I jumped up from my seat, "Sorry, Star. It seems the class has to be paused. Next time, I promise, I will teach you how to use Internet."

"That's alright, Dick. Can I go with you to deal with the emergency."

"Well. Fine. We indeed need some help. But first of all you need to put on your clothes."

"At once!" Said Starfire.

It was H.I.V.E. again. Jinx, Gizmo, See-More, Billy Numerous, and the big guy, Mammoth.

"I hate these guys," Said Beast Boy, "They are too strong."

"This time," I said, "will be different. We have Starfire, and this ensures fairness. Last time, we had a disadvantage on the number of members, but this time, everything has changed."

Teen Titans Go!

"It seems that you Titans survived in the disaster!" Said Gizmo.

"Glad to see you too." This time I must bring these guys to the justice; I swear. I clenched my fists, staring straightly at Gizmo.

Passersby in the street, after seeing us, quickly ran into the buildings. Titans were quite well-known in the city, but battle, at least, is a battle. No one, even we, want to get injured. Some seemingly brave young men took photos with their cellphones; without a guess, they would send the photos on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and so on, announcing that they have the first-hand news about titans and their new enemy.

Raven took Jinx, I took Gizmo, Beast Boy took Billy, Cy took Mammoth, and Star took See-More - that's my plan.

Back to the street. In the field of engineering, Gizmo, just like his name, is a genius; he always has new ideas. His suit was greatly upgraded: much quicker and much easier to control. God, I sort of missed Bludhaven the criminal of which are much weaker. "How can you be so forgetful?" Said Gizmo while attacking me with the lone mechanic arms of his suit, "Can't you remember last time? Titans versus HIVE? Titans fell and HIVE rise?"

"Really?" I said, "You sure? 'Course this time you seem as weak as a plant- a moving plant like, uh, Dionaea Muscipula."

"Not bad!" Said Gizmo, "Flytrap. I know it. Quite funny, but wrong simile. Wait. Maybe you're right. Guess what? If I'm the flytrap, what are you, little ugly fly?" He started to attack with laser gun. Damn, his weapons were too powerful. I could not fight directly against the laser beam. He meant to kill me when I always obeyed Bruce's creed- no killing.

Dick, you can not die in a situation like this. Even a engineering genius like Gizmo must be able to make mistake, or have some weaknesses.

Wait.

Weakness.

I can still recall my training with Bruce. One lesson is weakness. Batman told me that everything and everyone, even he, has weakness; even though he hided his weakness deeply, he could not deny the fact that Batman, protector of Gotham, still has weakness.

So, where is Gizmo's weakness? The biggest weakness is hiding behind the most powerful part. So said Bruce. Yes, the power of Gizmo came from his high-tech suit, which meant that his suit is his weakness. Let me guess, with all its arms undone, will the suit still be moving?

I quickly threw three batarangs. He promptly stopped the batarangs. "Too slow, little fly!" He laughed, "Maybe you need to train with your bat daddy again?"

"Don't you think I did that because I wanna your attention?" It was me who kept laughing when Gizmo started to realize he could no longer control his suit since I cut the line inside the metal suit with a small batarang, invited by Bruce.

"Surrender." Gizmo fell down, "I yield."

"Without this suit, you are no body, man." I said like a winner- like I always did.

Starfire was born as a fighter besides as a princess. I have to admit that Tamaranians are all well-trained fighter and, which is kind of weird, peace lover- about this point I'll explain more in the future.

The alien princess bravely fight against the laser eye of See-More, throwing her starbolts. "I tried to be friendly, but you injured me!" She seized See-More and gave him a right hook.

Raven and Beast Boy were well corresponded. Beast Boy attracted Billy- Billies- to Jinx, when Raven used her magic to fight back Jinx's magic electric wave. The wave suddenly beat Billies and turned them back to Billy himself. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Now Raven's bubble trick worked. The bubble successfully stop Jinx and Billy. "On your face, bro!" Beast Boy flaunted in front of Billy. "The world is so much better when you shut up." Said Raven.

Cyborg versus Mammoth was just like WWE. Fighting, fighting, and fighting. Eventually the robot won. Simple, right?

"Boo-Yah!" Said Cyborg, "that was too simple."

"Just to you, Cy." Said I .

Justice League would deal with the criminals we caught, but I still had something to ask.

I seized Gizmo. "WHO PAID YOU?" I even could not control my temper. These guys almost destroyed the whole city, home of those innocent people. "TELL ME! SAY IT!" I beat him in face angrily and almost killed him if Starfire did not stop me. "Nightwing, stop."

Gizmo laughed. "You are smarter than I thought. Indeed, someone paid us, and his name is Slade."

"Slade? Who is he?" I wanted to ask for more, but Green Arrow arrived. "You all did a good job, kids. Saving this city and protecting it. Well done." He took the HIVE to Justice League's prison.

"Any idea about this Slade?" Several days after the attack on HIVE, at one night, Starfire asked me.

"Still no." Said I.

"You have been working for night and night." Said her. "We are worry about you. All of us."

"I searched every single piece of news, record, even hacked the computer in Batcave. Nothing. The only thing I know is Slade wanted to kill us and destroyed the city, and we must bring him to the justice."

"We will, Dick." Said Star. "We will find Slade and bring him to justice. But before this you need a bath and a sleep." She kissed me. "Good night." Then she left.

I smiled. Who knows what would happen to me and this pretty princess? Fine, perhaps Star was right, and I indeed need to sleep.

But a beep interrupted me. It was an email. I opened it; it was from Bruce.

The letter was short- only one sentence, but the words were still powerful enough to shock me:

Dick, Jason died.
