Dick walked over to his sink and washed the blood from his hands, Starfire walked behind him:still shocked at what he had done mere moments ago.
"Dick, what were you going to do with that man."
Still staring at his bloody hands he says,
"He was a criminal, I stopped him from performing a crime, it's that simple."
"You could have killed him."
"He could have killed us." she retorts
"But the blade couldn't even hurt me."
"He didn't know that, he had every intent to hurt you, to hurt my love... my family, I won't let that happen, I lost my family once before because I didn't do anything, I did something this time and guess what you're still alive."
She forcefully turned him around and looked into his ocean blue eyes,
"But Richard, as long as I'm with you I will always be safe."
"I won't always be around."
"What do you mean?" she said with a confused look
He moved the hair from her face and said,
"Look I'm human and you have special abilities, you're from another planet, you will most likely outlive me."
"Do not say that Dick, I would not be able to live in a world without you."
"Neither could I."
Starfire kissed his lips then said,
"I love you."
"I love you too." Dick replied
He picked her up with both hands and walked down the hall, she smiled as she laid her head against his body. He placed her on the bed softly, she crawled to her side of the bed and waved Dick to come over. He closed the door and sat next to her, she placed her hand below his stomach, he grabbed her hand and said,
"Starfire I would love to but I'm tired."
"Oh okay then."
Starfire moved her hand and took off her shirt and jeans, she laid back in the bed and placed her head on the pillow. Dick took off his clothes and got in the bed, he raised the hair from her neck and kissed her soft tan skin. Dick moved his body closer to hers and put his arm around her waist. He placed his head on the pillow and stared wide eyed, into the dark figure that was staring back at him.
