A/N: Two chapters in one day. Go me! :) Ok, so this chapter is a little longer then most of the other chapters… ok a lot longer. It's somewhat confusing… and weird…. Lol… haha my usual. Lots of Star/Robin/Avery interaction. And this will definitely not be the last time Avery makes an appearance. Next chapter more Terra vs. Titans and of course everything that goes along with that. :) Ok, I confused enough people for one day. :) R&R and enjoy!

Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven sat in the TV room of Wayne manor. They had begged Alfred to relax with them, but the man was surely set in his ways.

Raven had her book open, reading or mildly skimming the pages. Cyborg was flipping through the various stations, not finding anything that amusing. Starfire looked out the window to the beautiful night sky. She then looked back at the guest list she was writing for her friend's party.

"Who else should we invite? Roy, Aqua lad, Bruce, Alfred, that mechanic guy, who else does he know?" Starfire said looking at Cyborg and Raven. Raven shrugged without looking up and Cyborg paused from flipping the channels.

"We'll ask Bruce tomorrow." Cyborg said, continuing to flip from channel to channel. Starfire placed the pen down and looked out the window once more.

"I wonder if Robin is having fun." She said to no one in particular.

"I doubt it… who's he going to dance with? Roy?"

()

Robin's laugh echoed in the corner Avery, Roy, and he were sitted at. Avery was laughing just as hard as Roy sat smiling slightly.

"Oh! And remember the time I got caught in the tree!" Avery said as she and Robin laughed hysterically.  "Dick had to save me. We both ended up falling about five feet from the branches."

"We were covered in leaves and twigs. Bruce had a fit."

"My father wasn't much better!"

Roy nodded along, as the old friends seemed to laugh and enjoy the other's company. His eyes moved from the two to Terra who was still surrounded by boys.

"You seem quite fond of Ms. Firma." Avery said wiping her eyes.

Roy looked from Terra to Avery. "Trust me, it's not her beauty that entices me."

"She's an interesting character, always surrounded by a huddle of young suitors. Sickening." Avery said, dusting invisible lint from her dress.

"You two aren't friends?" Robin asked, smirking a bit.

"Oh, heaven's no. She's much more interested in the company of males then females. Not that I blame her. She's pretty enough, and definitely rich enough to have the attention."

"You know anything about her?" Roy asked, looking at Avery.

"Nothing really, just that she's new money. And well the silly rumors the maids and housewives have made-up. They say that she was dirt poor and her father gave her to an older man, dripping with dollar bill signs. They married, yet she was very young at the time. He died last year leaving his entire estate to her." Avery smiled and shook her head. "But it's kitchen talk."

"Housewives and maids are best known for kitchen talk." Robin smiled.

"Hello."

The three looked up to see the beautiful heiress standing over them.

"Hello, Ms. Firma."

"Hello Ms. Bronzeson. How are you?"

"Quite well." Avery smiled as Terra looked at Robin and Roy.

"Sitting with two wonderfully cute suitors." She smiled as Avery blushed a deep crimson.

"No, no, just two friends. Dick Grayson and Roy Harper." Avery pointed at each, as they both stood and smiled.

"Wonderful to meet the both of you. Dick Grayson, that sounds terribly familiar. Hmm?" Terra smiled and pondered for a few seconds.

Robin's eyes narrowed a bit as his body tensed.

"Bruce's son, right?" She smiled widely as Robin's body further tensed but with surprise and confusion.

"…Um… yeah…" Robin said, a bit shakily.

"Oh wow! I've heard so much about you! How's school? Studying hard I hope." Terra smiled.

"Terribly hard." Robin smiled, his jaw locking.

"And you would be?" Terra looked at Roy.

"His cousin, I attend the school as well."

"That's good, it's always pleasant to have family at school." Terra smiled and looked to see the group of boys looking after her.  "I was hoping to escape the pack of boys. May I talk with you all?" Terra smiled. Robin looked at her; she had the whole Society thing down pack.

"Of course you can Ms. Firma. You know I'll get us some punch." Avery smiled and stood up allowing Terra to take her seat.

"I'll go with you." Roy smiled and quickly followed Avery across the room.

Robin sat down and smiled at Terra, even though he really wanted to strangle her.

"So, Ms. Firma…"

"Please, Vale, I find it way to formal when I hear such strong voices say my last name." Terra giggled a bit.

"Ok, Vale… congratulations, I hear you are making quite an impact of Gotham." Robin leaned in his chair a bit.

"Not just Gotham, all over the world." Terra smiled and played with the napkin that was next to her.

"Yes, I read the article about the technology. A young mind with money is never a good thing." They both laughed. Out of sheer politeness, Robin forgot how many lies and fake people were created to sustain these parties. "So… what shall such a young woman do with such high-tec technology?" Robin smiled. Terra smiled back, and laughed a bit.

"My… mentor… was an ingenious man. He was, wonderful! He was brilliant and sophisticated. He was killed to early in his life. He had this dream, which I want to make come true, in memory of him. I'll be staying in Gotham as the project is continued." Terra smiled. Robin's head was ringing, fireworks were going off, and he had to know.

"A dream, to invent… what, if I might be so bold?" Robin smiled as he aw Terra's eyes moving from the napkin to him in an almost eerie pattern.

"Well… it's more or less a secret, Mr. Grayson…" Robin arched his eye brows pouted his lips just slightly, giving them a fuller look and stared straight into Terra's blue eyes.

"I'm made of secrets, Vale, I'm sure one more won't kill me." Terra smiled a bit, and even laughed, a real laughed.

"…My mentor wanted to create—"

"Ok, punch!" Avery smiled as she placed down two glasses. Robin looked to her and then Roy, who shrugged.

"Merci beacoup, Ms. Bronzeson." She picked up her glass and winked to Robin. "Another time Mr. Grayson." She then glided over to her many suitors and seemed to be enclosed in a tight circle.

"What was that all about?" Roy asked, sitting down.

"Just business." Robin said, sipping his drink.

Raven walked around the manor looking for her book. She could have sworn she left it next to her bed. Granted, she was really tired last night and barely even registered where she dropped it. Bruce and Robin came strolling in around one in the morning. And it was around three the next day. Bruce was in the gym with Cyborg. Starfire was, god knows where, Robin was wondering around, Roy sleeping, and Beast Boy, and well she wasn't quite sure.

She continued looking, very un-amused. The doorbell rang, making her jump a bit. "This place is too creepy… even for me." She mumbled. She heard Alfred answer the door.

"Ms. Bronzeson, how good of you to come. Shall I get Master Dick?"

'Dick?' Raven mouthed as she leaned further into the door.

"I'm right here, thanks Alfred." Robin's voice was heard. Raven was quite curious as to who was outside of the door. She opened it and peak out to see a girl, about her height, skinny, olive skin, pretty hair and eyes, and wearing a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. "Hey you." Robin smiled. The girl kissed his cheek and smiled.

"I thought I come to say hello. Bruce told my father that you and your friends were visiting from school for a while." The girl smiled. Robin was blushing and nodding his head.

"Yeah, seems that way at this point."

"So, let's go meet your friends!" Avery grabbed Robin's hand as the two walked towards the living room.

"Oh, that can't be good." Raven said, disappearing into one of her many black holes.

Starfire was finishing with the final decorations list. She was getting this party planned and finished before they left Gotham. Terra, at this point was concentrating on this invention of sorts Robin had mumbled about. So Starfire figured if Terra had time to waste… she had time to plan. There was a knock at the door, making Starfire push the papers under the cushion she smiled as she saw Robin's sunglasses and his untamed hair.

"Robin! How did you...?" Starfire looked to see the short girl holding on to Robin's hand tightly. Her warm smile, and the way she leaned into Robin ever so slightly. Starfire's eyes darkened as her body tensed. Who the hell did this girl think she was?

"Hey Star, I'd like you to meet Avery." Robin smiled. Starfire looked at the girl as she held on to Robin's hand and put one out for Starfire to shake. Starfire took it a bit roughly and then looked at Robin.

"Star, what an unusual name?" Avery smiled. Robin looked at Avery and then Starfire, to see the Tamarian's green eyes glow.

Starfire glared at the girl. No, she did not just say Starfire's name was unusual.

"Where I come from it's a great honor to be named after something so beautiful and magnificent… excuse me." Starfire rushed out from the room.

Robin watched as she left. Starfire was never one to be rude or obnoxious, or even out right loathing of a new person. He then noticed Avery's hand placed perfectly in his own. 'Oh crap.' He thought quickly.

"I didn't mean to offend her."

"Well… you did." Robin turned to see Raven, dressed in a black jeans and a purple top standing with her hand on her hip.

"Umm… Avery Raven, Raven Avery. Excuse me." Robin rushed out quickly.

"Oh, Raven that's a—" Avery started but was hushed quickly with Raven's glare.

"Don't even go there."

Robin walked through the gardens. He had looked for the past twenty minutes for Starfire. He had no clue where Avery was hopefully with one of the boys they would be much more pleasant, hopefully.

"Star!"

"What?" He turned and was met with a very angry/sad looking Starfire. Her hair was in a ponytail; she was in jeans and a pink tank top, with a white sweat jacket over it. "Why aren't you entertaining your guest?"

Robin looked at her; he knew she had a tendency to be over jealous when it came to him… she almost killed Kitty the second time they fought with her. But he didn't want Starfire to feel jealous.

"Why are you so mad?"  Robin said, looking at the beautiful girl.

"I'm not mad. I am fine." Starfire was about to turn around when Robin caught her wrists. But Starfire pulled them back. "I'm going out with Roy… he's taking me to get dinner. Have a good afternoon."

She began to walk away but then began to run into the house. Robin watched after her. He definitely would have to get her to talk to him.

"WINNER AVERY!" Cyborg and Beast boy's mouth hung open. Avery smiled.

"That was fun! Shall we play again?"

"NO!" The two shouted.

"Ok, ok." She giggled a bit. Robin walked into the room rubbing his temples. "Robin, want to play a game before dinner… Vale should be over soon." Avery asked, resetting the game. All three boys froze as they looked at Avery.

"Vale?" They said together.

"Didn't Bruce or Alfred tell you?" Avery asked. The three boys went into a frenzy.

"Oh crap!" They screamed, running around.

"So, Ms. Firma… how is everything?" Bruce asked as Avery, Robin, Terra, and he sat at the large dinning table.

"Quite well actually." Terra smiled. "Everything seems to be going to plan. My advisor says I'll be in Gotham for at least another five or six days. But my… proto-type is doing magnificently."

Beast boy and Cyborg watched silently from the vent on the bottom of the floor. They could see and hear practically everything.

Raven walked across the dining room entrance looking at her book, she then walked back and stared at Terra, Robin with no glasses, and then the vent at the base of the wall. Her mouth hung open as she stared at the scene. 'What the hell?' mouthed. She quickly ran from the entrance way and in a matter of seconds was with the boys.

"What the hell?" She whispered.

"Let's just say we had our own little surprise party." Beast boy mumbled.

"So… I heard you just turned eighteen Avery, congrats."

"Thank you. Last month, it was quite enjoyable."

Laughing was suddenly heard down the hallway. The four, and three in the vent turned to see Roy walk in. He froze immediately. The three in the vent took a collective breath, because two seconds later Starfire came walking in, wearing a pair of dark sunglasses with her hair in two braids. She stopped short and looked around at the table, and whimpered.

"Roy and…" Bruce looked at her and then Robin.

"Kori." She whispered.

"Yes, sorry. Roy and Kori, come join us." Bruce smiled. Robin stared at him, as Avery sat mildly confused, and Terra smiled pleasantly.

"Won't you take off your glasses?" Terra asked, Starfire looked straight at Robin and saw he was without his glasses, Robin figured it was only a matter of seconds before all hell broke loose.

"Actually, her eyes are really sensitive, so she has to keep them on." Roy smiled, pulling a chair out for Starfire.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Terra said quickly, pouting. Starfire simply nodded.

"She seems genuinely sweet." Raven mumbled the other two nodded.

()

"Me and Dick were like best friends, inseparable." Avery laughed with Terra. Somehow, as the fates would have it, the two began talking about Avery and Robin's relationship. Which had Starfire making noises of pain or anger here and there.

"That's so cute." Terra smiled.

"It is! We were even girlfriend and boyfriend. He was my first kiss!" Avery and Terra giggled as Starfire whimpered. Robin looked at her to the two girls. He was not in a good place.

"I think I better be going, I'm quite tired." Starfire said softly.

"Please don't leave." Roy silently begged. Terra smiled agreeing with Roy as Avery looked at Robin and then Starfire.

"It is rather late." Bruce said looking at his watch. "I think I better have the car take you girls home."

"Of course." Terra and Avery chorused. They smiled and followed Alfred out of the room. Once the door was shut, and all seemed back to normal. Starfire literally blasted the glasses off her face.

"That was fun." Beast boy said as he and Raven escaped the vent without having to go all the way around.

"Quite entertaining!" Starfire gave a sickeningly happy smile and looked at Robin who looked at her with his precious blue eyes. He always thought the first time she'd see him with his sunglasses would be as they were caught up in a whirlwind of romance and passion. Not a dinner his mentor concocted.

"Star…"

"No... NO!" She said looking at him, she smiled, sweetly to everyone, and walked out.

"Ugh!" Robin placed his forehead on the table.

"I vote Avery off the island!" Beast boy raised his hands as the other occupants stared at him.

Starfire was sitting in front of Cyborg's laptop that she had placed nicely in her room. She was looking through party favors, presents, and sometimes switched to an article or two about Vale Firma.

There was a knock at the door, she looked over to the door and back to the computer as she shut the laptop she called for the person to come in.

"Hi." Robin said softly. She looked at him his glasses were on, and he was pouting somewhat. She got up and made her way top the window seat.

"What?" She said softly.

"I just wanted to apologize for today." Robin sat on her bed.

"No reason to apologize I over re-acted." Starfire smiled. Robin looked at her.

"No, I shouldn't."

"I'm fine, Robin, really, I am." Starfire smiled. "There is no reason as to why you should apologize."

"Are you sure?" Robin asked.

"Very." Starfire smiled. Robin nodded. "I'm tired. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok, night Star." Robin smiled as he walked out and shut the door. Starfire looked out the window as it began to rain. She felt a few tears run down her face.

"Maybe Robin likes Starfire… but Dick loves Avery."

Avery smiled as she, Robin, Roy, and Terra walked around the park. They had been in Gotham for five days, and everyday included some meeting with Terra. Robin was getting little information here and there. He wanted to get everything solve by tomorrow. Starfire was not talking to him, Raven seemed to side with Starfire. Beast boy sided with Raven and Cyborg was just bored.

Robin wanted to get everything to return to normal. Well as normal as the Teen Titans were. Robin looked at Roy and pointed with his eyes to the duck pond.

"Hey Avery want to go feed the ducks?" Roy didn't even wait for an answer he just dragged Avery away. Robin smiled at Terra as they sat down on a near-by bench.

"I'm going home tomorrow." Robin smiled. Terra nodded.

"That's good, I'll miss your company." Terra said. Robin smiled and looked toward Roy and Avery.

"So… we're alone…" Robin smiled as Terra laughed.

"You are so pushy Mr. Grayson."

"Sorry Vale." Robin laughed a bit.

"Robots." Robin looked at her as she smiled and looked forward. "The project is world renowned robots. They are made to be as realistic as you and me. They can fight, and win. Their programmed to win. My mentor was killed, Mr. Grayson, he didn't suddenly die or murdered. He was killed. I want revenge Mr. Grayson." Robin looked at Terra as a sudden fear came over him.

"Isn't that a little extreme?" Robin said, Terra smiled and shook her head.

"I saw them… her kill him. Her green angry eyes, her ruthless passion. Dick, she was mad. All to save the one she loved. But she didn't care about the people who loved the one she was killing. She just… killed." Terra looked at Robin and began shaking her head. "You don't understand… the girl should be killed for what she did."

Terra began crying, she placed her head on Robin's shoulder and sobbed.

"Um… I'm sorry." Robin looked over to see Roy and Avery completely ignoring him and Terra.

"I better go." Terra got up and ran off.

"Oh man." Robin said shaking his head.

"Yeah, we'll be fine." Robin said. Bruce patted his head; they were almost the same height. By next year, definitely.

"Bye Dick." Avery kissed his cheek. Robin blushed and smiled at him. Starfire looked at the two and then turned to Bruce.

"Bye Bruce." Starfire smiled. Bruce waved as the six set off to home.

Starfire rode with Cyborg and Beast Boy. Raven, Roy, and Robin had their bikes. And all of them were exciting to get out of Gotham.

"Home sweet home!" Beast boy said, stretching out his legs. He jumped on to the couch and relaxed. Starfire walked past Robin and walked to her room. Raven sat next to Beast boy who started begging her to play with him in a car game. Cyborg stretched out and head towards his room as Roy walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah, home sweet home." Robin mumbled.

"News reports say that there have been some mysterious attacks with in the city. There have already been six wounded, no lethal injuries yet. The police don't know who or what are causing these attacks, but hope to find a lead. In other news Jump City is receiving a grant of five hundred thousand dollars from Vale Firma, an heiress to a great fortune. She would like the grant to go to the further development of John Sacs' new computer chip being built right here in the city—" Beast boy clicked the TV off and looked at Robin.

"You know… it's never ending!" Robin shouted and head towards the bedrooms.

"Well, if Starfire is still mad at him by the time his birthday rolls along, well… I'm sure lethal robots are a nice surprise." Beast boy said, shrugging.

Raven smacked the back of his head. "Just shut up…"
