I don't own TT. Just Lena.
Thanks for the reviews:)
Starfire's POV
After Beast Boy finished telling us the story of the past of Lena, I stood up in anger that was full-blown.
"How dare the father of her best friend Joseph kill her parents! Did he not feel obligated to her after she healed the leg of his son?!" I asked angrily of no one in particular.
"Some people value power than obligations. It's a fact of life," stated Raven calmly. It is amazing how well she can control her emotions…
"Did she ever tell you what happened to that despicable villain?" asked Cyborg, looking like he wanted to kick the butt of this indeed despicable villain. Beast Boy shook his head.
"I didn't ask. I figured that she had talked enough about her past. Which is why I'm telling you now while she's sleeping," answered Beast Boy. I turned my head towards the living room where Lena was sleeping a deep sleep on our couch. We were in Cyborg's room so would not disturb her. My poor friend…I should be done with your new room tonight and tomorrow I will take you to the mall of shopping. We will buy you material for your new superhero outfit, new clothes, decorations for your room, new books, jewelry, make-up for your face, and whatever else we need to buy! At the corner of my eye, I saw Robin nod his handsome head.
"Agreed. But we will have to ask her one day," said Robin.
"Why Robin?" I asked a bit confused.
"If this guy is still out there, we need to know who he is so we can bring him to justice. And whom we need to protect Lena from," answered Robin. I nodded in agreement. He is right. The murderer of her parents needs to be in jail and we do need to protect her. It is our job, not just because we are heroes, but because she is our friend.
"Beast Boy, does Lena know that you told us that she has the Spirit of the Phoenix?" asked Raven.
"Yeah. I convinced her that you guys actually needed to know because if she is going to be a Teen Titan, she obviously is going to have to use her powers. Thus, everyone will know what she can do and villains might come after her," answered Beast Boy.
"And we will have to know we are up against. Good thinking BB," approved Cyborg.
"See? I do have a brain," pointed out Beast Boy. Robin and I chuckled while Raven and Cyborg rolled their eyes. Robin stood up.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to bed. We won't talk to Lena about this tomorrow. She doesn't need to be reminded of her past two days in a row," said Robin.
"Agreed," I said while the others nodded. Robin turned to me with a smile of warmness.
"Are you going to bed?" he asked me. I shook my head with some regret. I really love it when he takes me to my room and drops me off like a knight in shining armor. But I have work to do.
"I cannot. I have to work on Lena's room," I told him.
"Oh yeah, how is that coming?" asked Cyborg with eyes full of curiosity.
"It is going well. Thank you Cyborg and Beast Boy for distracting her with the video games today," I told them gratefully.
"No problem Star. It was fun!" BB exclaimed.
"Are you sure we can't help or even take a tiny peek at it?" pleaded Cyborg. I shook my head. Cyborg opened his mouth with a pleading face.
"No amount of begging is going to change her mind," Raven said before Cyborg could make a sound. I looked at her gratefully. Thank you Raven. Not just for stopping Cyborg, but also for giving Lena a book that she might like to read.
"Can I least take you there?" offered Robin, holding out his hand. My heart leaped in joy. I took his hand and stood up.
"Yes you can Robin," I accepted as we left Cyborg's room.
"Okay Raven and BB follow the lovebirds. I need my beauty sleep," I heard Cyborg say behind us. I did not hear anymore as we walked down the hall towards the Lena's room, still holding hands. When we got to the Lena's door, we stopped and Robin gave me a look of mischievousness.
"Okay, I know the others can't go in there, but that doesn't I can't go in there right?" he asked me. I put my hands on my hips and looked at him playfully and firmly in the eye.
"You cannot go in there. Lena needs to be the first person to see her new room, not you," I said. Robin pouted. Aw…that pout is so cute…no!
"No," I said out loud as I pointed to where Robin's room was.
"Okay. Can I at least get a kiss?" he asked me. I pretended to think about it.
"Yes," I answered and we kissed. No matter how many times we have kissed, my heart has always jumped in glee. When our kiss was over, Robin looked at me lovingly.
"Goodnight Star," he said softly. I smiled and I looked at him lovingly in return.
"Goodnight Robin," I said softly. He gave me a kiss on my cheek before walking towards his room. I turned to look at him for a second before walking into Lena's room. I am so lucky to be Robin's girlfriend.
For the next hour and a half, I put the finishing touches to Lena's room. When I was done, I hovered in the air and clapped my hands with unbridled glee. This looks wonderful! I cannot wait to show Lena after we come back from the mall of shopping! I gave a yawn. But now, I need to go to bed. I flew out of the room and when I was in the hall, I heard a noise. I quietly closed the door and listened. I heard it again. That sounded like a…whimper…and it sounds like it is coming from the living room. Lena!
Luckily, Lena's room was pretty close to the living room, so I was there in no time at all. I looked around but I did not see Lena.
"Lena?" I called out quietly as I flew towards the couch. Maybe she is still on the couch…
"NO!" cried an anguished voice. With my heart going faster than any of the creatures in my beloved Tamaran, I raced to the couch. When I got there, I saw Lena tossing and turning on the couch.
"MOMMY! DADDY! NO!" Lena cried. She must be having a nightmare about when her parents died! I got to wake her up! I immediately started to shake her.
"Wake up Lena! Wake up!" I cried. Lena gasped as she opened her eyes. She saw me and then she looked at our surroundings. She still had fear in her eyes and a storm of sweat was on her face.
"It is okay Lena. It was just a nightmare," I said soothingly as I pulled her close to a hug. She held me tight as she breathed heavily into my chest. I rubbed her back and kept on murmuring that it was okay.
"But it's not okay. It terrifies me to see Mr. Wilson kill my parents and walk closer to me like he was my father. It terrifies me to see all the neighbors that knew and loved me ever since I was born turn against me. I've been having this nightmare for eight years now. I should be used to it, but I'm not," Lena quietly sobbed. I hugged her tighter. My poor friend…
"Have you had many friends during the last eight years?" I asked.
"No. I was alone till…I came across you guys," Lena answered. My sensitive heart was both touched and saddened at her answer. How could she stand being alone? If I was her, I would go insane.
"Well, you are not without friends now. And we will help you get over this nightmare. I promise," I promised fervently. Lena lifted up her head and through her tears, gave me a small grateful smile. I smiled back. And then I thought of an idea.
"Do you want to sleep in your room?" I asked.
"My…room?" she answered in shock.
"Yes! I just finished it! I was going to show you tomorrow, but since you are awake in the middle of the night, let me show it to you now!" I answered. Without waiting for an answer, I grabbed Lena's hand and pulled her behind me while I flew to her room. I cannot wait…I cannot wait…Finally, we had reached Lena's door. I set her down and opened it.
"Here it is!" I whispered since the others were still sleeping. There were butterflies in my stomach as I waited for Lena's reaction. Her mouth dropped open as she walked into the room. I followed her and close the door behind us.
"Well? Is it to your satisfaction?" I asked nervously. Lena turned around with a smile full of amazement and gratitude. There were tears in her eyes but I think these were joyful tears.
"To my satisfaction? It's beautiful and wonderful!" she cried as she pulled me into a hug. I hugged back as my heart did two jumps of joy. She loves it! And…she initiated the hug this time!
"I am glad that you think so," I said. I am so glad that you are happy my friend.
