A/N: Ok, this story was NOT based on the comic book series or TV show... there are a lot of things that have nothing to do with the comic book ((I've never read them, BUT I have done a little "research" on the comic book counterparts of the animated Teen Titans)) or the TV show ((I do watch that, religiously)). And there are details that apply to The TV show. So you know, it's a weird little thing.
Also… if you LIKE Terra… um... well… she's not shown in a good light… at all. So read at your own risk, okie dokie? ((for the record, no, I don't like Terra, Idk why, I just… don't))
Ok… so read on, and I hope you enjoy! R&R
Raven sat on the couch in a pair of black jeans and a white tank top. Not really the provocative dresser, Raven didn't see the harm in the tank top, it was hot enough to wear one. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing a racing game. Beast Boy had pulled ahead of Cyborg and was inches from the finished line. Cyborg was trying his hardest to pull in front of Beast boy, but all was lost.
"BEAST BOY IS THE WINNER!"
"YES!" Beast boy jumped up and began dancing around. Raven looked at him, and shook her head. Cyborg just stared at the screen.
"How?" He asked, no logical answer coming to him.
"Because… I'm the MAN!" Beast boy continued to dance.
Unaware of Starfire and Roy standing in the entrance of the living room.
"Um… Beast boy?" Starfire asked slowly. The changeling turned around and fell over when he saw Roy.
"Dude, Speedy?" Cyborg perked up as well and turned to Roy.
"Wow! It's been like two years!" Both boys rushed at Roy smacking his shoulder laughing. The three began talking all at once.
Starfire stepped back as Raven came closer to the scene.
Roy pulled out his teen titan communicator from the Battle of the Champions those couple of years back.
"How the hell have ya been?" Cyborg smiled. The girls, easily confused, just watched the male interaction.
"Pretty good! I came down to wish the Boy Wonder a happy 18th birthday. You know, now he's The Man wonder." The three laughed.
"Who is he?" Raven asked Starfire.
"Roy Harper, he said he was a friend of Robin's."
"Oh man!" Beast boy spun around and gave the girls a dazzling smile. "Ladies, Speedy! Speedy, the Ladies!"
Roy laughed a bit. "Yeah, Starfire… and…?" He put out his hand for Raven.
"Raven…" She shook his hand and he smiled down at Starfire, gently placing his hand on her shoulder and looking at the two boys.
"I met Starfire down by the shopping area, and call me Roy. I'm not playing Super hero right now."
"Robin's always playing Superhero… so we're use to his alias…" Beast boy chuckled to himself.
"How long are you staying? I mean his b-day ain't until June 5th." Cyborg asked sitting down. Roy nodded and sat down as well.
"It's so boring by me. There hasn't been a crime in weeks. So… I was hoping if you guys had room to spare with I could maybe help out here."
"That sounds wonderful." Starfire smiled.
"Considering we haven't had a really crime in a week or two ourselves." Raven mumbled.
"I don't know Rave. That crazy old lady with the cats was pretty criminal." Beast Boy smiled.
"The cat was stuck in a tree." Raven said.
"Yeah, but who has fifty cats? Come on!" Beast boy argued. Cyborg turned from the two and looked at Roy.
"You can stay here as long as you want." Roy nodded and smiled.
"Cool… so when's the birthday boy getting home."
"Who knows?" Beast boy said, hitting the reset button on the game cube. "Titans…" He tossed two controllers to Roy and Cyborg, grasped on to his own, and with a determined glint, "GO!"

Robin walked into the tower around nine-ish. He hadn't meant to drive around for that long, and was concerned if Starfire had gotten home or not. He walked into the kitchen, the living room, the weight room, and the storage closet/room, and saw no one.
"Where is everyone?" He walked around a bit until he heard a scream. Followed by a strained yelp for help. It registered quickly who was screaming. "Starfire?"
Robin dashed down the corridors and up the stairs. Still hearing strained screams, as if she was running out of breathes. He got to her door, and tried opening it, only to find it lock. He stepped back and with a swift kick, the door flew open.
"Star…fire?" He looked to see his long time best friend and crush lying on her back, on her bed. Over her was a weird redheaded boy tickling her sides.
"Robin!" Starfire quickly sat up knocking Roy over. "When did you get home?"
"…Just now…" He said, looking at the weird boy. Trying very hard to resist the urge to kick his ass.
"Hey Richie boy. Long time no see. You have to go to more of those Super hero workshops." Robin arched his eyebrows until he recognized the familiar face.
"Roy? Oh, man! Hey!" They high fived each other.
"Richie boy?" Starfire repeated. Roy looked from the royal Tamarian back to Robin.
"Well, technically Dick, but I thought I'd make it prettier." Roy chuckled a bit as Starfire seemed to grow more confused. "They don't know your name?" Roy asked looking at Robin.
Robin shook his head yes, fixing his sunglasses.
"They know my name, or well Cyborg and Raven know my name." Robin looked at Starfire and insistently felt guilty as the girl pouted.
"Happy birthday." Roy said, diverting Robin's attention. Robin looked at the boy, who was his height, and laughed.
"Not for another two weeks buddy." Roy shrugged.
"I'm hanging out for a little while. Getting some training with the infamous Titans." Robin smirked.
"Well…" He cracked his knuckles. "I am a good leader."
"Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it." Roy turned back to Starfire and gave her a large smile. "I'll see you tomorrow Star. Night."
"Good Night." Starfire smiled as Roy walked out of her room. Her eyes went to Robin and she smiled softly. "Night Dick."
Robin knew she was upset by not knowing his real name. "Night Starfire." She smiled and walked out of her room closing her door.
Starfire pouted a bit and fell back on her bed, staring at her ceiling. Her mind drifted to Robin, and then quickly to Roy. She smiled as the boy popped into her head, but then frowned quickly.
"Oh no."

Starfire was walking around the huge mall. Raven and she had decided to let the boys "bond." It had only been two days since the arrival of Roy, but the four boys together were inseparable… and loud, very, very loud.
Starfire was browsing through several knick-knacks, attempting to find something for Robin's birthday. However, none of the items were good enough. She felt a nudge on her shoulder and turned to see the slightly shorter heroine standing in a pair of jeans and a black tee shirt.
"I got his gift." Raven stated holding up a brown bag.
"Really, what you did you buy him?" Starfire tried to peak in the bag. Raven pulled out a book. "How to play Superman? Um… that sounds interesting."
"It's about this man who tries to save his long time best friend, after he finds out from his gypsy grandmother that he is suppose to marry his friend. He goes through this whole self-discovery, falls for the girl, and figures out his life. It's a good book." Raven said, placing the book back in the bag.
"Actually, that's a great present." Starfire smiled. "I don't know what to get him."
"Think of what you'd like." Raven watched as Starfire thought it over.
"Ok!" She smiled.
"Now… get him the opposite, more manly, counterpart." Raven turned on her heel and walked out of the store.
Starfire stood glaring at her friend, before following her.

"YES!" Roy jumped up and high-fived Robin. "We win!"
"Again!" Robin shouted along with his friend.
Cyborg and Beast Boy mumbled in their seats. Robin pushed the reset button and fell back into the couch.
"So… Starfire, she's pretty cool." Roy said, smiling slightly. Robin looked at the redheaded boy from the corner of his eyes, as BB and Cyborg looked at Roy, then Robin, then at Each other and then back at the screen.
"Oh look at the time!" The two shot up and raced out of the living room. Roy looked confusedly towards the hallway and shrugged.
"She is cool." Robin said, getting up and turning off the game.
"Yeah, definitely. Really sweet too." Roy smiled to himself. "She doesn't have a boyfriend?"
"…No…" Robin said, looking at the muted TV.
"That's pretty surprising." Roy said. He looked over at Robin who was staring at the TV. "I'm thinking of asking her to the movies."
Robin shrugged a bit, had his glasses not been on, Roy would be able to see the death glare he was receiving.
"Hello?" Both men turned to see the Tamarian beauty smiling in the doorway of the living room. "Just wanted to tell you guys me and Raven got home."
"Ok." Robin said, a little harshly. Starfire seemed to wave it off.
"Are you really tired?" Roy asked. Robin's eyes darted towards him.
"No, not especially." Starfire shrugged.
"Want to go catch a movie?" Roy smiled, making Starfire blush slightly. She looked to see Robin's mouth slightly open, as if he was about to say something.
"Sure." She smiled. Roy jumped up and straightened his shirt.
"Cool… whenever you're ready."
"Ok, give me about twenty minutes." Starfire smiled and walked out of the living room.
"Score!" Roy smiled and turned to Robin. "I better go get cute… well cuter." He laughed, hitting Robin's shoulder a bit before leaving.
Robin looked from the doorway to the TV, and then back to the doorway.
"This is just some cruel sick joke." He mumbled to himself.
Suddenly an alarm went off making the boy wonder jump several feet in the air.
"A really bad, sick, cruel joke!" He rushed off to the information room.

The Titans stood near the entrance to the Park. There wasn't a thing out of place. No one walking around, no explosions, nothing, it was… perfect.
Maybe… too perfect.
"Split up." Robin said, walking towards the building opposite the park. He was still in his original costume; but it was slightly bigger with a larger cape. He began the inspection of the building.
Starfire began walking towards her best friend, until a hand grabbed her wrists.
"Come on, let's walk through the park." Starfire smiled slightly at Speedy, and with one last look at Robin began walking with Speedy. She had lost her original costume. She was wearing a pair of black leather pants, with black boots. She wore a purple tank top that showed about an inch of her abdomen. She had wristbands instead of her wrist gloves, and she wore a silver necklace that was on a short chain.
Beast boy smiled and followed Raven to talk to the store mangers.
Raven still had the same costume, the black/blue leotard and her overly large cape/hood. Beast boy, no longer wore his tight costume. He wore a pair of black track pants with a plum stripe going down the sides. He wore a tight plum colored tee shirt, and black boots.
Raven simply looked at him, not questioning his follow the leader game.
Cyborg was scanning the area, looking for any signs of anything.
"Huh… no reading of anything." Cyborg said. "It's as if… everyone just left…"
"There's no one in the stores." Raven said, floating towards Cyborg and Robin. "The stores aren't even open."
"It's six in the evening, how are none of the stores open?" Robin asked.
Suddenly, several creepy looking guys surrounded the four.
"Where the hell did they come from?" Beast boy said staring at the tall ninja type people.
"They're robots." Cyborg said looking at his scanners. "Pretty advance robots."
Robin smirked pulling out his staff. "They're still robots." He jumped up and began punching and fighting.
Cyborg blasted one, as Beast Boy was ramming into them.
The more that were destroyed, the more there seemed to be.
"Once again… where the hell did they come from?" Beast boy shouted, ramming into another pair of the limber robots.
"Azarath, Metrion, Xinthos!" Raven shouted. Five to seven robots were contained inside of a black bubble, until they popped it. "What?" Raven looked shocked.
"Why won't you just die?" Robin slammed into on of the robots, only to have it stand back up, unharmed. "What the hell?"
"ROBIN!" He turned around and was about to be hit with a very large laser gun when a green energy ball blasted the robot to the ground.
Starfire floated over to Robin, gently touching his face. "Are you… undamaged?"
Robin smiled a bit; Starfire hadn't used that expression in months, maybe longer. Then he saw a shadow over them. He pushed himself and Starfire to the side, rolling so that the Tamarian would land softly on him instead of vice-versa.
"Are you ok?" He looked at her. She looked down at him, breathing somewhat haggardly.
"Yes, yes I'm fine."
"Ok then, let's go get the bad guys." Robin smiled as Starfire floated up. He heard Speedy ask if she was ok, and then a quiet yes. Robin shook his head; he'd deal with it later.
"Guys! My powers aren't working against them!" Raven shouted, kicking one of the robots.
"They aren't going down!" Cyborg shouted, randomly shooting his full blasters at the robots.
"Well… what did you expect?"
Every robot fell to the ground, lifeless. The six titans turned to see a shadowy figure from the top of the building that was opposite the park.
"Who are you?" Beast boy shouted.
The figure stepped into the sun. She had long blonde hair that was tied up in a ponytail. Her bangs were brushed to the side. She had icy blue eyes, which sparkled in the sun. She was wearing a black leather skirt that went to her knees, but had a slit on either side up to her mid-thigh. She had tall black boots and a pink ¾-length shirt on, along with a black leather vest over it. She smiled, evilly.
"Terra?" Beast boy asked, stepping back. Raven's eyes narrowed dramatically, as did Starfire's. Cyborg put up his canon, and Robin twirled his staff, and got into a fighting position.
The lone figure jumped from the five-story building, landing perfectly on her heeled feet.
"If it isn't my friends, the Teen Titans." She had grown up somewhat in the last year. She was 5'5" with a much more mature body, especially in a leather get-up. "How's it been?"
