A/N: Hello! Ok, I had to get this chapter out. I loved it too much. Haha, no… I think it's cute. The fight scene is soo… royally bad. But the romantic scenes are very cute. :) In my opinion, which doesn't count, that can't be good. Ok hopefully next chapter will be out by Idk Wednesday or Thursday… knowing me, hopefully sooner. :)
Hmmm… as you know this doesn't relate to the TV show or Comic book… and I don't think there's anything really bad, some mild cursing… but nothing bad at all… hmmm… Remember the fighting scene is like awesomely bad, I tried it was… bad :(. But I hope you enjoy the story :). R&R ENJOY!
ALSO…. Clover09 you were wondering where I got Roy Harper's name, it's from a website, www.titanstower.com. If you go to the Meeting room and then "New Teen Titans &New Titans" you'll get a list of characters with bios and backgrounds fro mthe comic book heroes :) So it gives names, backgrounds, and all this cool stuff… I found it while searching through Google and stuff. So I hope this helps and also to everyone who has reviewed and like the story ((or even those who didn't like it, you still took time to read it)) THANK YOU! You are the best! Okie dokie, enough babbling, hope you enjoy!
Robin walked down a creepy looking steel bridge. It seemed to snake around a huge steel, high technology area. He stopped and looked around; it was dark, empty, and cold. He looked down and recognized the Slade suit he had been forced to wear oh so many years ago.
"What the…?" He asked but stopped. He heard a soft voice, and then two. He began walking forward, and the further he went the voices got louder.
Robin stopped, as the voices got clearer. He made out Avery's soft singsong voice and Starfire's innocent caring voice.
"Star? Avery?" Robin called out.
"Robin! Robin!" He heard Starfire shouting.
"Dick! Come on Dick, this isn't funny!" Avery's voice echoed off the walls.
"Where are you?" Robin shouted.
"Robin."
"Dick."
"Robin"
"Come out, come out wherever you are!" Avery giggled.
"Robin, please, you promised."
"Star?" Robin shouted, running faster towards the voice. He stopped in front of a steel wall, and the voices dies down. "Star! Avery!"
"Hello Robin." He spun around to see himself, except his eyes were bare and sparkled a brilliant blue.
"…Who are you?" Robin said, backing into the wall.
"Oh come on. It's me… or rather you. Dick Grayson." Dick smiled and leaned against the metal railing. Robin looked past him to see Starfire and Avery. Avery walked up to Dick and leaned against him. Starfire stayed where she was.
"What's going on?" Robin asked, getting into a fighting position.
"You tell me." Dick said, walking away from Avery, who went to stand next to Starfire.
"What's with you?" Robin said, he was confused, very confused.
"What's with you?" Dick repeated and then smiled. "Don't you get it?"
"Get what?" Robin asked, so confused.
"What's the difference between you and me?" Dick smirked as Robin shrugged. "The mask, you're Robin, not Dick."
"…That's not true." Robin said.
"Really. Do you know… Avery knows Dick, but not Robin. And Starfire knows Robin but not Dick. And well… she doesn't know Robin that well either."
"Don't bring her into this." Robin said, narrowing her eyes.
"Why shouldn't I?" Dick asked.
"You don't know anything about Starfire and me!" Robin said.
"Right… ok… I'm only you." Dick smiled and got into Robin's face. "Why are you so scared to show her us?"
"I'm not scared… it's just… why do you care?" Robin looked at him.
"Because whether you admit it or not, you love her… and yet you won't share anything with her."
"And who do you love?" Robin shouted looking at Avery and Starfire.
"Come on! The girl I haven't talked to in five years or the girl that took over my life in three!" Dick shouted back.
Robin seemed to be silenced because he recoiled himself back against the wall.
"Admit it bird brain you're afraid that she'll turn away from us. Guess what… she already is."
"Shut up!" Robin shouted. He looked to see Avery waving goodbye. "I…"
"Love her? Ok… you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me. If you love her, then you wouldn't be pushing her away from us! I don't want her to disappear from my life, Robin!"
"I'm not pushing her away!" Robin shouted. He glared at Dick, who glared right back with just as much anger and resentment.
They both froze as they heard a scream.
"Starfire?!" They shouted. They both began running away from the wall. They ran faster and faster.
As they ran, Dick seemed to merge with Robin. His orange and black costume seemed to fade away, being replaced with his Titan costume. Except his eyes were no longer covered by the safety of his mask. He looked back to see his mask on the floor. He thought about turning back till he heard the scream again. And then he ran faster then he thought possible.
He stopped in front of the sight of Starfire lifeless on the ground. He fell on his knees and turned her over.
"Starfire?" Robin asked softly.
"Hi Dick." Robin looked up and clashed with two brilliant blue eyes.
"Terra?" Robin asked becoming vicious.
"Vale… Terra doesn't exist anymore… and neither does… that murderer." Terra glared down at Robin. He looked at Starfire and felt her face she was cold. Robin looked up at Terra and pounced at her.
"AHHH!" Robin sprung up in a cold sweat. He felt his face, he was clammy, and his heart was beating a mile a minute. He looked around and saw that he was in his room, safe, for now.
He got up and looked in the mirror by his door. He looked the same, maybe not like he did five years ago, but at least the same as he did yesterday. He just wasn't wearing his mask or his sunglasses.
He shook his head and walked out of his room. He pasted his friends' room stopping in front of a purple door. He looked at it and opened it. He looked in to see Starfire asleep under her white comforter.
He walked up and sat on the edge of her bed. He smiled as he pushed some of the hair off her face.
"I'm sorry." He said softly, kissing her forehead. He got up and walked out.
Starfire opened her eyes and looked wearily at her door. She then rolled over, sighed, and went back to sleep.

Robin played with his sunglasses. He was waiting for everyone except Starfire to come into the kitchen.
He wanted to talk to them about the Terra issue.
"Aloha!" Cyborg said, pouring himself some coffee.
Raven, Beast boy, and Roy also walked in and sat at a seat at the table. Robin smiled as Raven looked at him, un-amused.
"What?"
"Ok, we need to talk about Starfire." Robin said, adjusting his glasses that he had quickly put on.
"So talk." Cyborg said as he leaned against the tower.
"I don't want her leaving this tower alone. She is to always be watched by one of us. I don't want to see or hear her out alone." Robin said sternly, protectively.
"Um… why?" Beast boy said a hint of nervousness evident in his voice.
"Because… it seems Terra isn't after the titans, she's after Star." Robin said quietly. Raven looked at Beast boy who seemed to have grown anxious and frightened.
"Why didn't you tell us last night…?" He asked, his deep voice cracking.
"I was a moron." Robin said, eyeing him. "Where is Starfire?"
"Um… shopping… at the square." Beast boy said, followed by a nervous laugh.

Starfire browsed around the motorcycle store. She knew that this was a Cyborg present, but she had to just see if there was anything in here that she thought he could give the stupid boy.
"May I help you?" She turned to see a warm man looking at her.
"I'm looking for a present for a very close friend of mine. He has a bike, and he adores it, I was hoping I could find something that might… suggest to him how special he is too me." Starfire smiled slightly as the man smiled and shook his head.
"A boy and his bike is a special thing, but there's nothing in this store that holds the value of a special ness that you're looking for." The man smiled. Starfire nodded.
"Yeah. I just wanted to ch—" Starfire turned sharply as the front window smashed from a flying man.
"Oh dear lord." The storeowner rushed to the man. Starfire ran out the door to see Terra and a gang of robots.
"Nice to see you dear." Terra sneered. Starfire jumped up and began floating over Terra and the robots. "Attack." Terra said quietly as the league of robots began attacking Starfire.

Robin stopped short as he looked at the deserted street. It was upturned, gravel everywhere the stores were ransacked there were burn marks everywhere. Robin looked to Beast boy who had flown on top of one of the buildings. Cyborg was scanning the area, as Raven and Speedy look at the stores.
"Starfire!" Robin shouted walking up the street. "Starfire!"
"Ah!" He turned to see a bright green laser from an Alley. He raced into the alley to see Starfire against the wall blasting about five robots that were shooting lasers at her.
She was beaten up. Her clothes were ripped and torn, her face was dirty, and she looked like hell.
"Starfire!" Robin shouted and went straight into fighting mode. He kicked at one of the robots, only to be pushed aside and ignored.
Robin fell to the ground. He looked, amazed, at the robots. "What the hell?" He whispered before getting up. A bright blue blast hit one of the robots dead on.
"Boo-ya." Cyborg said, smirking. But the robot got up. As if nothing had happened. "Oh no you didn't."
"Raarr!" Beast boy pounced on top of another robot, only to be thrown off and into a flip. He transformed into himself landing into Robin. "Ow…"
"Azarath, Metrion, Xin—" Raven didn't even have time before the a robot blasted her with it's laser. She stopped short of the wall, but had to come down from floating.
"Raven!" Beast boy shouted rushing over to her.
"I'm fine. Save Star."
Starfire was definitely growing tired, she looked ready to collapse.
"Why won't you die!" Cyborg screamed as he continuously blasted one robot. But to no avail. Robin looked at Starfire, she was actually floating downward, her body seconds from giving up.
He looked around and saw a garage can. He jumped up from the ground to the can, against the wall, and grabbed Starfire. He landed behind the robots. Starfire safely in his arms.
"Get out of here!" Raven shouted as Robin stood for a second, he raced out of the alley into the empty street.
"Star?" He didn't have mush time to talk as Terra appeared, out of nowhere, in front of him.
"Hello Robin."
"Get away from me!" Robin shouted as he held Starfire close to him.
"No." Terra began lifting the ground under Robin he jumped back, into a mess of Robots. All eyes on Starfire.
"Sh—" Robin started but stopped as he was hit from the back. He fell on his knees. Starfire looked at him. She grabbed his arm and jumped out of his arms into the air. They were only ten feet in the air. As high as she could possibly go at this point. Arrows began attacking to robots. They let loose an electrical bolt as they hit the robots, but they didn't feel a thing, they didn't even turn to acknowledge Speedy.
Terra began shooting rocks towards Starfire and Robin. '
"Let go of me, and get out of here." Robin whispered.
"No." Starfire said, tiredly.
"Star, please!" Robin begged.
"Rob—"
"NOW!" He said harshly. Starfire floated down a few feet and dropped Robin, who landed on his feet. She floated up, quickly, only to be stopped by an angry blonde.
"Where are you going? I know you're not afraid of a good fight." And the rocks began to fly.
"Just DIE!" Cyborg screamed as he came out of the alley, blasting into the alley.
Beast boy and Raven both soared out.
"A little help here!" Speedy shouted shooting his arrows.
"What kind of freakin' technology did that girl buy?!" Beast shouted as he turned into an elephant and began stampeding.
"Some very, very, very advanced technology!" Raven shouted back, blasting her energy at them.
Starfire was half shielding herself half blasting Terra.
"Guys, aim for their lower backs, got some major readings coming from there!" Cyborg shouted.
Speedy jumped up and flipped over the robot he was fighting. He shot his electrical arrow into the robot. The robot short-circuited and then began to move slower.
"Guys, it's slowing them down." Roy shouted back.
They all aimed for the lower back. And as the robots slowed down the titans went full force. Until it was just Beast boy as an elephant jumping up and down on them.
They turned to see Starfire on the ground, half crying and half glaring at Terra.
"Star!" Robin shouted. Raven's eyes went to a bright white and the attacks flew, surprising Terra.
"You little—" She was stopped by one of Beast boy's many tentacles. She smirked. "Next time." She sneered and she disappeared. Robin looked at Starfire who was cuddled in Speedy's arms.
And Robin began his own battle with inner demons.

Beast Boy walked into the weight room to see Robin beating the hell out of a giant punching bag. The boy wonder was in sweat pants and a white tank top he had no glasses and no mask.
Beast boy was in a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. It had been a few hours since the fight and the titans were relaxing, or well pretending to relax.
"Hey." Beast boy said as he sat on one of the dumbbell benches.
"Hi." Robin said as he did a spiral kick at the punching bag.
"Yeah, you don't seem upset at all." Beast boy said. Robin stopped and turned to the green boy. He glared slightly and then bent down to get his water.
"How is she?" He asked as he sipped his water.
"Sleeping." Beast boy shrugged a bit. "Raven calmed her down… a lot."
"Are you sure it wasn't Roy?" Robin said, venom on his tongue.
"Nah, not even a little bit of jealousy."
"Did you come here to mock me?" Robin spat at his friend. Beast boy put his hands up in a defense pose.
"I came to check on you… Make sure you weren't killing yourself." Beast boy said.
"I'm fine." Robin said, going over to the bike, and beginning to pedal.
"You know, I've been hearing that a lot lately, and well… I'm beginning to think you guys are lying a bit."
"I'm—"
"Don't you dare!" Beast Boy said. "So… one week till your birthday."
"I'm not having a birthday, not until Terra is behind bars." Robin said, pedaling harder.
"Or dead." Beast boy mumbled. He shook his head and went over to the bike and pumped it up so Robin couldn't pedal anymore.
"Go talk to her! And don't let Raven see you, or she'll kill both of us." Beast boy said leaving the room. Robin looked after him, and shook his head.

Robin walked slowly into Starfire's room and looked at her. She opened her eyes and stared at him. Green crashing with blue.
"Hey." Robin smiled as he brushed the hair from her forehead.
Starfire looked at him. "He was there… I was tired… I needed a shoulder."
Robin nodded his head and stared at her. "I know."
"No, you don't." Starfire looked at him. "Who are you?"
"…Robin?" He said, suddenly confused.
"Where are the glasses?" Starfire said. Robin felt guilt instantly.
"I… I…"
"I'm sorry." Starfire said, shaking her head and turning over so her back was to him. "I… I'm sorry."
"Please, don't be." Robin took a bold approach and laid next to her. Starfire turned over, crashing royally into his chest.
"But I am." She said into his chest. Robin smiled and gently held her to him.
"I know you are. And you know what…" Starfire shook her head, cuddling closer to him. "I'm sorry too."
