Robin slowly made his way over to Starfire who was sitting on the roof of the Titan's tower, gazing at the sunset. He then sat down next to her.

"Hey Star, how are you feeling?"

"Robin…do you think we will always be together?"

"Of course. Nothing's ever going to separate us."

"But what if something DOES happen? I am afraid of what might result from such a predicament."

"You worry too much."

Robin and Starfire looked at each other with a smug grin. Their faces edged toward each other…

"….Huh…what…?"

It was only a dream. Robin had finally awoken. He was unconscious for some time now and his head was throbbing with pain. It was still dark, so the time that passed wasn't too long. It took him a while to realize it but everyone he had seen before, Kitten, Killer Moth, Fang, and Starfire, were long gone. He was alone on the pier with only the sounds of water to accompany him.

Robin got to his feet and started walking back to his motorcycle, his attitude now replaced with anger. With a couple revs of the motor, he raced off in the direction he last saw Fang.

'It must be at least 4 o' clock; there are hardly any cars on the street. Starfire, wherever you are, I'm going to find you. That's a promise.'

With hours of search throughout the city, there seemed to be no hope in finding where Starfire was taken. The sun was ready to rise.

'What was that?!'

At the corner of his eye, Robin spotted some sort of gray glob sitting on the sidewalk. Immediately, he knew it was Fang's webbing, but what was it doing here?

(Distant shooting)

'That sounds a lot like….Starfire's starbolts…'

Within minutes, he finally spotted Fang and Starfire fighting each other. The current situation didn't look good. Starfire wasn't paralyzed anymore but was badly hurt and Fang showed no mercy. Robin couldn't just stand and watch. He took out several explosive devices and hurled them at Fang.

(BOOM!) (BLAM!)

Fang fell to the ground with a hard thud. Starfire was on the brink of passing out. Not only did she look exhausted, but wounded as well. Robin ran over to her as quick as he could before Fang could get back up.

"STAR! You don't look so good, we need to get home. I can't have you out here, you're already badly hurt."

He carried Starfire back to his motorcycle and set her in front of him. Another couple revs and he sped off towards the Titan's tower. Robin strongly hoped that Fang wouldn't chase them. Putting Starfire into more danger was his worst fear.

Using the small rockets on his motorcycle, he was able to propel himself over the water and finally make it to the tower. He made his way up the tower to the main room where he set Starfire down on the couch. The rest of the Titans were already asleep. There was utter silence.

"R-Robin…"

"Star, what happened?!"

"Tried…fighting…couldn't….."

Robin was very worried. Starfire could hardly speak because she was breathing so heavily. After several hours, the sun was shining brightly in the morning sky. The only things to be seen in the tower were Robin and Starfire asleep on the couch…
