Thanks for the reviews, but I have to say that in this novel there's no love between Raven and Robin... Sorry for misunderstood....

Not now. Not now. Not now, please God, thought Starfire. Why she had accepted this mission? It'd have better if she was at home. But if she'd have acted like this, the other would have understood what was going on: her fat stomach, her morning stomachache, everything.

"Don't worry, I'll watch over you. Slade won't even touch you"

"Raven? Are you speaking in my mind?" Star thought

"Yes, sorry for bothering you, but..."

"Don't worry, I'm pleased of hearing you..."

The two girls smiled.

"All right; titans, Slade is near the dock, let's go" shout Robin. In a minute every titan was moving to the dock at the fastest speed. Robin was the faster: when they talked about Slade he had always to show his strength.

"He'd kill himself, one day" thought Raven, but then she changed his mind " but if he dies, who will take care of Star? Stupid Robin! You're not alone in this world! Don't you ever think about the other people? Stupid!!"

"Where is he? Where?" shouted Robin.

"Be quiet! Shouting won't help you" said Raven, coldly.

"Don't tell me what I have or I haven't to do!"

"Sorry if I stop your arguing, but I think that I have to defeat you and conquer a city"

"Slade! First I'd kick your ass! Titans, Go!" replied Robin.

The fight begun. Slade was so fast that Raven barely could see him, but she tried to hit him with his dark bolts, always keeping an eye on Starfire, that was near the fight, but it was clear that she was trying to avoid it. B.B transformed himself into an elephant and charged Slade, but he dodged the animal easily, and B.B hit the wall behind the villain, smashing it.

"B.B!" Shouted Starfire. "Go and see if he's ok, Star" shouted Raven. Finally she had an excuse for keeping Star out the fight.

The young tamarean girl nodded and flown down near B.B.: he was just fainted, and he wasn't wounded.

"Wake up, B.B.! Your friends need you" "Just another minute, please... I don't wanna get up, mommy" "B.B! Stop joking and wake up! And I'm not your mother!"

Starfire felt strange and happy at the same time: B.B had just called her "mommy". Mommy. She repeated the word in her mind a couple of times, tasting it like a delicious candy. Mommy. In a few month she'd have become a real mother, and someone would have called her "mother". She was happy.

Slade was still fighting with the other Titans: Cyborg was trying to hit him with the cannon in his arm, while Robin was using all the martial arts he knew. Raven was keeping an eye on the fight, waiting for the right moment to use her power, and meanwhile she was looking Starfire.

"I won't allow him to hurt you, my friend." She thought hitting Slade with a dark bolt of energy.

And now? What will Star do? Will she say the truth to Robin? Don't miss chap. 4! I'll write it, if I break this writer's block! D'oh!
