Disclaimer: I have no part in Teen Titans. This is just a fanfic in which the characters do my every will. Do not sue me. YOU WON'T GET ME ALIVE, GOVERNMENT SPIES!!!!!!! I JUST KNEW YOU WERE OUT TO GET ME!!!!!!

A/N: Hey, guys! Okay, it's late at night and I have a great inspiration for this story, so I'm going to keep this part short. Really short. Um, yeah. Eh, heck with it! Here's the next chapter!

*Previously*

"Robin?" Starfire asked quietly.
"Yeah, Star?" he breathed, looking into her eyes.
"Is this... the way things were meant to be?" she said gently.
He didn't know how to answer. He didn't know if this was the way. Frankly, he hoped that it wasn't. But before he could say that, he saw movement downstairs at the same time Starfire did. They broke apart when they saw Warp there, getting ready to open the porthole again.
It was time to change the past.

Chapter 6

Not two minutes into battle with the man, all of the Titans had come together to fight the most important battle to their friendship thus far. Nightwing had shown great improvement with his skills, while Cyborg had gotten repaired, Raven was... Raven, and Beastboy looked kind of cool, as long as he was in animal form.
Starfire fought as best she could. She had to be able to get back to her time, and there was only one way to do that. She had to open the time porthole, which Warp [A/N: HA! See? I did it right! Get off my back!] had access to. Her mind was still spinning with how she could open the porthole and use it in order to get to her time, when she saw that Cyborg had broken something of Warp's.
The Titans gathered around and watched as Warp shrunk inside his suit. Starfire watched in a mix of horror and wonder, her eyes examining what was happening and trying to figure out what he was doing. Whatever it was, it didn't seem like it was supposed to happen.
Finally, Cyborg knelt down and picked up the circular piece of Warp's equipment that controlled time, and opened up his suit, revealing a small baby.
"Dude, I'm so not changing any diapers," Beastboy said, revealing his same old comical self. Cyborg lifted up and pointed his gun, which now had the time controlling piece inside it, into the air. He activated it, opening the porthole for Starfire to walk through.
"It's set to twenty years ago," he said, seeming to strain. "You have to hurry if you want to go back to your time!"
Starfire looked at the porthole with a mix of emotions. If this was the way things were supposed to be, then what was the point of going back? Why couldn't she stay there with Nightwing, focusing on their future instead of the past? With this in mind, she looked up at Nightwing, wondering if he was thinking the same thing. He was looking at her, too.
He nodded after they exchanged a look for a moment. The look in his eyes told her that he fully believed that this was what was right. She had to go through the porthole. They walked over to it together, staring at it in awe. Starfire quickly looked back at her friends.
"Please!" she said desperately. "Tell me that this is not the way it is meant to be! Tell me that there is hope that we can change this!"
They remained silent, and her gaze went across them, until her eyes landed on Nightwing. He looked at her gently and said, "There is always hope."
The sound of his voice and warmth of his gaze made her feel as though everything would be okay, no matter what. She smiled up at him, her heart in her eyes. He came over to her in a slow movement, his face close to hers.
"When you get there," he breathed, "show me that sometimes you've got to take risks if you want the future to be the best. And don't forget this."
He gently laid his hands on her waist and kissed her tenderly on the lips, sending their sensations into flight. But they had to stop quickly, since time was running out. When they pulled away, Starfire looked longingly up at Nightwing.
"For both our sakes, I hope that you'll continue that in the past," he said, stepping away. He gave her the artifact that Warp had stolen 20 years ago. With that, Starfire gave one smile back at her friends before jumping into the porthole, the figure in hand, preparing for the journey home.
When the porthole closed and she was gone, all the Titans looked at each other. Beastboy grinned wryly at Nightwing and said, "You ol' sly dog."

A/N: Okay, I'm tired. I'm trying to keep my eyelids open, but it's impossible. And the bad thing about this is that I have to write the next chapter before the inspiration leaves me. I'll see you guys next time!
