Chapter 8- Visitor

Robin looked at Starfire who also looked nervous. "ok." She said. "Robin, I will be back." With that Starfire left to go to the door.

Bree started to follow but was but off by Robin- "Bree?"

"Yes?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yea. I'm fine. Why?" She said to quickly.

"What about Starfire?" Robin said ignoring her question.

"Everything's fine. Don't worry. Starfire just has a visitor. That's all."

Just then they all heard Starfire yelling "No! Please! Just leave!"

Then came an unknown voice. "Aww come on baby. Don't be like that. I was just want you back. That's all."

"Just a visitor, huh?" Robin said to Bree a little annoyed.

" I do not wish to go with you!" Starfire yelled.

Bree rubbed her temples while Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin went to the doorway of the kitchen. They saw a guy there with blond hair that hung in his eyes and he was wearing blue jeans with a white shirt. He was well built but, of course, was a jerk.

Robbie and Bee were standing behind Starfire.

"I didn't mean to do anything to you babe." The guy said.

"Please Sammy! You're always giving Starfire grieve (sp?) and she always forgave you. But not this time!" Bee spoke up.

"Shut up, Bee. No one's talking to you." Sammy yelled.

"Yea well-"

"Bee, please. Can you and Robbie please leave. I need to talk to Sammy. Alone." Starfire interrupted.

"But starfire-"

"Please."

Robbie and Bee looked at each other and walked into the kitchen.

"Who does that asshole think he is!" Robbie yelled.

"I heard that!" Sammy yelled from the living room.

"Like I care!" Robbie yelled back.

"Who is he?" Robin asked.

Bree and Bee exchanged glances then said " Starfire's ex boyfriend."

Robin just stared.

"Uhm...anybody seen raven?" Beast Boy asked.

"I'm here." Came a monotoneous voice from behind. They all turned to see her coming form the hall. "What? I was in the bathroom. Jeez."

"So0o you said that this is Star's ex boyfriend?" Robin said turning to Bree and Bee who nodded.

"What does he want?"

"To get back with her." Bee said.

"Why? What'd he do for them to break up?" Cyborg asked.

"Ok, you guys have alot of questions that will be answered. So we'll start from the beginning."

"Uhm...Starfire and Sammy use to go out for a month or so. But he kept hurting her and knowing how Starfire is she kept forgiving him. She always says that everyone needs a second chance." Bree said and looked at Bee who continued.

"Hurting her how?" Robin said suspiciously.

"Um... let's not get into that." Bee said.

"Why not?" Robin said demandingly.

"Starfire wouldn't appreciate it." Bree said doubtingly.

"Annyywayyysss.." Bee said wanting to continue. "Um...yeah. And, well, they ended up breaking up about 3 weeks back after starfire told him..." Bee stopped.

"Told him what?" Robin asked.

Bee looked at Bree only to get an angry look from her.

"Uhm...something private. And well, he took it kinda hard and started calling her names and spreading rumors and on top of that he cheated on her." Bee said continuing.

Robin was about to press Bee for some answers on 'what was the secret?'. But just then Cyborg cut in "Damm!" Cyborg exclaimed while Robin and Raven shot him a glare. "Sorry" he said.

"But, from what I see, Starfire's a nice girl. I don't see why any guy would wanna hurt her." Robbie said. Robin nodded.

"Well, Sarfire has had a rough time. I mean she's not completely what you expect." Bree said.

She watched as all of them except Bee gave her a look that read 'evil'.

"No.No.No. She's not evil or anything. I mean she's still the sweet and loving girl you see...but...uh...mm...Bee, do you think we said too much?"

Bee gave her a look that said "what do you think" then exclaimed, "Heck yeah!"

"So, you guys can't tell us what's the deal with starfire?" Cyborg whispered.

Just then they heard a crash. They turned to look through the doorway into the living room to see Sammy smashed against the broken coffee table. But what surprised them the most was the look on Starfire's face.

"Uh...you were saying Bree? She's loving, caring and what else?" Cyborg said.

Bree and Bee exchanged glances while the others were in horror and shock.

Starfire, the young beautiful teenager's eyes were glowing a violent green and her hands had a green glow around them. She started to walk closer to Sammy as he shivered from fear. "S-s-see baby, this is why I-i broke up with y-y-you." Was all he said before starfire raised her hand to hit him but she abruptly stopped. Her eyes losed the violent green it had and returned to the normal color. She looked down at Sammy and sighed. She did not at all want this to happen. This is what she was afraid of- to show who and what she really is.

"What happened babes? Don't got the nerves to hit your own man?" Sammy said smirking.

Robin's hands clenched into a fist. Cyborg saw this and put his hand on Robin's shoulder holding him back.

"Huh babes? What now?" Sammy continued.

"No...no... This is not who I am." Starfire said quietly but loud enough for the rest to hear.

"Face it, sweet cheeks. This is you. This is how you are. The fierce, vicious, yet hot 'n' sexy, Starfire."

"NO! I do not hurt people! I do not hurt anyone!" Starfire screamed. Then quietly said "I do not wish to hurt anyone."

"So what the heck you hurtin' me for?" Sammy said.

Silence.

"Right. You don't got an answer for this one." Sammy then stood up and brushed himself off. He looked at Starfire whose eyes were now teary.

"Aw come on baby. Don't cry. All I want is you." Sammy said wiping her face but she smacked his hand away. He smiled an evil smile.

"See, I'm trying to be nice but here you are just brushing my hand away. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Baby...you don't know what you been missin'. I could give you whatever you want and need. And I know what you want, and what you especially need."

"No, ...you do not know what I want nor what I need." Starfire and her voice were trembling.

"Sure I do babes. All you need is me and you're gunna be fine."

"No, I do not like you nor do I wish to be with you."

Sammy was becoming slightly annoyed by now. "Atleast I'm better than that loser asshole you hang out with...what's his name? Oh yeaaahhh... that boy that thinks he's all nice and sweet just because he got the ladies going after him. The one and only Robin."

Starfire gasped while Robin stepped foward but was held back by Cyborg.

"You will NOT speak about Robin that way!" Starfire yelled while her eyes grew the vicious green.

"Aww...did I strike a nerve?"

"This boy is asking for some serious trouble." Cyborg said in a whispered voice.

" Yeah. And Starfire isn't the only one he's gunna get it from." Robin said in a low voice.

Cyborg looked down at Robin a little scared. But kept his hand on his shoulder.

"Urrggghh!" Starfire let out an angry growl while her hands grew a green glow. But just as she was about to attack, Sammy lunged at her and pinned her to the ground " What now sweet cheeks?" He said grinning. Starfire was a little too scared to say anything. 'why isn't anyone coming to help me?'

' Maybe because they do not like me. Maybe it is true. They think I am...wierd.' Starfire thought having doubts. Sammy saw the doubt in her eyes and let out a low laugh. He picked her up and threw her to the wall. The others gasped.

"uh uh! Nobody's hurtin' my girl!" Bee said.

"We gotcha back Bee." Cyborg said getting into a fighting position along with BB and Raven.

Just as Sammy was running forward to hit Starfire, he was thrown to the floor by Robin who pinned him to the ground.. Robin couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to see Starfire hurt. She didn't deserve it.

Starfire on the other hand, was surprised.

'Why is he doing this?' Starfire thought as Robin was pinning Sammy to the floor.

'Well you were wondering why no one was helping you,right?'

'Yes. but not Robin.'

'He cares.'

Back and forth she was having this mental conversation with herself. She didn't even notice when Robin told her to get out of the room until Bee came and put an arm around Starfire and dragged her to the kitchen where the rest stood still looking out at Robin and Sammy.

Robin was yelling at Sammy that Starfire didn't deserve this.

"How do you know! You don't even know her! Tell me! Did you know she had powers like that?" Sammy yelled back.

Robin hesitated. Sammy smiled. " Guess not." Sammy said.

Robin punched Sammy knocking the wind outta him. "That doesn't change anything Sammy. I don't care where she's from or what powers she has. All I care about is her personality. Which so happens to be kind and sweet.She's just like the rest of us. She's still a teenage girl with friends. She's just as normal as the Titans are." Robin said once again pinning Sammy to the ground.

Starfire was surprised by this while the rest smiled. Starfire didn't know what to say. Bree got an icepack and gave it to Starfire smiling. Starfire took it and smiled.

"Why do you care so much? You just met the girl."

"Ever heard of love at first sight!" Robin was too pissed off to control the words. He couldn't stop them, nor could he take them back. Starfire gasped while the others raised their eyebrows in surprise. Robin shot his head towards the kitchen to see them all looking at him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bree and Bee went to answer it while Starfire and Robin were staring at each other in shock.

"Hello." Bee said to the visitor at the door.

"Is everything okay? We heard an awful lot of noise and a few cursing and we were wondering if-" said a nice blonde lady who was with a guy. Her voice was very kind and soft.

"Yes. Um..sorry about the noise...uh..we..."

Just then two police officers came around the corner and said "Is everything okay?"

The blonde looked at Bree and Bee and said " Sorry, but we thought it was something serious so-"

"No. it's ok...it was something serious." Bree said slowly.

"My name is Officer McKlen and this is Officer Truman. May we please enter." Officer McKlen said. It was more of a statement than a question.

The two officers entered while the couple stood outside. "Please come in." Bree said with Bee nodding.

The couple smiled and entered. "By the way, I am Mary J. and this is my husband Steven. We just moved here."

"Welcome. Sorry about the racket. It's just...it's not a way to act in a nice place like this and please understand that things like this does not normally happen. It's very rare." Bee explained.

"Don't worry. With good neighbors like you, I'm sure we'll be fine." Steven spoke up.

They all smiled.

By this time Robin had Sammy pinned to the wall and the others were gathered in the living room.

"Uhm..Miss Bee and Miss Livingston. (Bree)" Officer McKlen said calling the two girls.

"Yes officer?" They answered.

"What went on here?" The police officer asked pointing at the broken coffee table.

"Uhm..."

"Excuse me. Sorry, but can we talk to the Titans first?" Officer Truman interrupted.

"Sure.Go ahead." Bee said

"But first, this is your apartment right?"

"Yes. But, uhm, actually me, Bree and Starfire also live here." Bee said pointing to the two girls.

"Starfire?" the officers said in unison at the strange name.

"Yes. Starfire."

"Okay. So. Uhm... Robin? I think you could let go of that young man now." Officer McKlen said taking Sammy into his own hands.

"So, what exactly went on here?" Officer Truman asked not bothering to talk to the Titans first after all.

"Well.." Bree began. " We all went out tonight to the City Fair Dance thing and then we came here. Later tonight, Sammy..." Bree pointed to him. " Came and started a fight with Starfire."

"I didn't start anything!" Sammy yelled.

"Please, you will have your time to speak." The officer said to Sammy then turned to Bree and nodded for her to coninue.

" Well... he was Starfire's ex-boyfriend and -"

"Why ex?"

"He was cheating on her and after he found out about her...her.." Bree looked at Starfire who nodded. " Her ..powers..."

"What powers?"

Starfire stepped foward and let her hand glow a faint green. The officers nodded and Bree continued. "Sammy started to call her names and start rumors."

"What kind of names and rumors?"

"I rather not say."

"So, does this young man have a last name?"

"Sammy Everston."

"What went wrong?"

"He stopped by to take Starfire back. He asked for her as soon as I answered the door. And-"

"Where was Starfire?"

"She was in her room...with Robin." Everyone's eyebrows raised.

"I was explaining some stuff to her." Robin said.

"So, why not in front of the group? Why in the room?" The officer asked.

"Because, I insisted on doing so." Starfire spoke up. " I am new here. And Robin..he...he..."

"Seeing as she has these powers, I was considering her...becoming a...Titan."

"But Robin..."Starfire began but didn't continue.

Robin gave her a look that said play-along.

"But isn't this something that you should discuss with the entire team?" The officer said a little suspicious.

"We did talk about it!" Cyborg spoke up a little too loudly. "Um... I mean... Robin and the rest of us went it over and...uh... we agreed for Starfire to join the team..." Cyborg continued smiling and looking at BB and Raven who were smiling and nodding along. "And Robin just wanted to talk to Starfire alone and tell her what it would be like to be a part of the team and so, Starfire... " Cyborg stepped up to Starfire and pulled a communicator out of a compartment within him and gave it to her "Welcome to the Team." He said.

By now, tears were flowing freely down Starfire's cheeks as she took the device and looked at the rest of the team who gave her a welcoming smile. " I thank you all." She said giving a slight bow. The rest nodded.

"Ok...So continue your story." Officer Truman said to Bree still not satisfied but made an acception.

"Yes so, when Sammy asked for Starfire, her and Robin came into the kitchen just then and they were talking." Bee said. Then she began explaining everything else. (A/N - I'm skipping Bree talking about everything else) "...and then the next thing we heard was something crashing. When we checked the living room, Sammy was crashed onto the coffee table and Starfire's eyes and hands were glowing green." She stopped to look at the alien girl and found her crying. "I'm sorry Star." Bee said putting an arm around her. Starfire nodded.

"So, did he hurt her in any way?"

"Well, he slapped and punched her. And threw her against the wall." Bee said slowly. The officers along with everyone else except Starfire who was staring at the ground, threw daggers (not literally) at Sammy.

Suddenly Starfire broke into more tears and ran from the room.

"Starfire?" Bee and Robin asked.

"Starfire wait." Bee said starting to follow the alien girl but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Robin.

"May I please go talk to Starfire?" he asked.

She hesitated then said "Sure." smiling.

Robin nodded and ran after Starfire. He knocked on her door before saying " Starfire?"

"Please, I do not wish to speak with anyone." was his response.

"But we need to. Well, atleast I do."

No response.

"Starfire?"

No response.

"Starfire...look if it is about what I said before... I'm sorry."

"Are you alone?" Starfire suddenly asked.

"Yea..."

A couple seconds passed then the door opened.

"Please, come in." Starfire said avoiding Robin's masked eyes.

Robin slowly stepped in and Starfire softly closed the door. She went over to her bed and sat down, picked up a pillow and hugged it.

Robin sat next to her. He stared at her for a couple of seconds then turned away. Starfire then looked up at him, took a deep breath and said "I'm sorry."

Robin's head shot in her direction " for what?"

Starfire was quiet then said " I should have told you of my powers. What I am. Where I am from. But...I suppose it is too late."

Starfire kept her head down. Robin took her chin and lifted her head and looked deep into her emerald eyes and said "It's never too late." and smiled. He wiped her tears and then she suddenly did what he had wanted her to do. She threw herself against him and wrapped her arms around his waist and cried into his chest.

Robin was surprised and hesitated before putting his arms around her. "Shh...don't cry" Robin said trying to sooth (sp?) her. And surprisingly it worked. Her sobbing eased and he continued to rub his hand up and down her back. She reluctantly pulled back and wiped her eyes.

"Feeling better? " Robin asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Starfire nodded.

He gave her a couple seconds before she looked up at him. They stared for a couple more seconds then Robin cleared his throat and turned away, Starfire looked down and then glanced back at him. He looked like he was deep in thought. Finally he looked up and found Starfire starring. She blushed and quickly found her shoes interesting.

"uhm..."

Starfire glanced up as Robin was trying to find out what to say. He didn't exactly want the topic to come back up but in a way he was hoping it did.

"I-I...uhm...why did you run off like that?"

" I was... afraid"

"Afraid? Of what?"

"Well... I... what Sammy did really pained me and -"

"Yeah I know it hurts but you'll get better."

"I am not talking about him abusing me like the way he did."

Robin gave her a confused look. " I am talking about him hurting me inside."

"Oh." Robin said somewhat disappointed. He thought that Starfire wasn't interested in Sammy anymore, but it looks like he was wrong.

"It's just that..." She pauses and Robin looks at her with some kind of hope within him. " that... what wrong did I do? I do not love Sammy anymore, and I guess I never did. But I am...I do not like him anymore. Maybe, just maybe, if I had done what he wanted me to do, then this wouldn't have happened." Starfire continued sadly. Then started to cry again. "But it was wrong, it was against my will."

"Star..." Robin said putting an arm around her shoulders, then continued " it's not your fault. You did nothing wrong. But... what did he want you to do?" He asked afraid of the answer.

Starfire looked taken aback by the question. Then burst into more tears. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Robin said regret asking her the question.

"No... Robin, I trust you. Alot." Starfire looking him in the eye, well trying to. "And I will tell you, only if you promise not bring it up."

Robin looked at her wondering what was so bad about it. But if trusting him was what mattered to her, that's what he'll give her.

"I promise." He said.

"Ok..." She started still unsure, then quickly and quietly said "hetriedtorapeme."

Robin thought he didn't hear properly and said "Um... Come again?"

"He tried to rape me Robin!" She yelled.

Robin tried to remain calm even has Starfire was breaking down. He removed his arm from around her and took his mask off then placed his head in his hands which were rested on his knees.

"Robin..." Starfire said gently.

He looked up at her concerned. " Are you okay?" He asked.

"Robin..." Starfire said fresh tears running down her face.

"What's the matter Star?" He said sensing something else bothering the young girl.

"I...um...I..."She began avoiding his eyes.

"Star?" Robin said sternly.

"He succeeded." The young teen said quietly.
