Starcrossed.

Lightening lit up the sky. Sparks of white flashed, striking at the ground. Raindrops thundered down on to the fighters below. They might have been out numbered but they were not going to give up.

Speedy aimed with a deadly, accurate shot. Preventing a demon from devouring Wilson.

"I own you one," the man called.

Speedy gave a nod. "Have you seen Starfire?"

Wilson leapt besides the boy, and tossed a bomb at a herd. "No,"

Speedy aimed his bow once more. He let the arrow slip through his fingertips and hit an electricity pole. It swung before toppling over and landing into the newly formed lake at the demons feet. Electric currents shocked the beasts, who shook violently before falling over. Dead.

"It's not her to just abandon us!" Speedy cried.

"Good shot." Wilson narrowed his eyes. "I believe she has other important business to take care of,"

Robin's body was carried through the air by one of Starfire's Star balls. He landed on the ground with a thud. But rapidly climbed back to his feet. He charged the alien girl, knocking her down with a high kick.

"Oh!" Starfire picked herself up. I should have known he would do that. She told herself. Stop holding back, Starfire. Robin is gone. Robin can never come back…"

"Even if we did stop Raven," Starfire spoke out loud. "There is no hope for you Robin. Our friend has poisoned your mind so completely, that you will never be Robin, my Robin, ever again,"

Robin said nothing. He just jumped straight into another attack pattern. Starfire flew above him, firing the blasts from her eyes. Robin dodged them. Seizing a small grenade from his belt, he chucked it at the girl. Starfire yelled as she tumbled to the ground.

Stop holding back. It is not your Robin.

Starfire looked up to see Robin standing above her, ready to deliver the finishing blow.

"Huhhhhhhh" Starfire cried as she flew at Robin, punching, kicking with all her might. She then leapt back into the air, fired up a huge green blast before Robin had a chance to recover, and threw all she had at him.

Starfire breathe deeply. When the smoke had cleared she saw him lying still. Floating down to the ground, the alien girl advanced towards him carefully. He groaned to show that he was still alive.

Finish him Starfire. You have to.

Her mind ordered her. But she couldn't Tears ran down her face.

"Oh Robin, What have I done?" she said as she rushed to his side. Kneeing down beside him, she pulled the boy on to her lap. Strands of red hair trickled across Robin's face. Slowly the girl removed Robin's mask. Two blue eyes, that looked right through her, blinked quickly.

"Starfire?" Robin's voice croaked.

"Robin," Emotions swarmed over Starfire's face. "Robin? My Robin?" Excitement burned with in her.

Robin stoked a hand across the alien's pretty face, wiping away her tears. "I tried to stop myself… I wanted to stop myself…" He had to forced the words to come out.

"Hush, Robin," Starfire pulled his body closer to her own. "You are back, that is all that matters,"

"I had to come back… I had to fight.. I had to.. For you…."

Starfire could feel hot tears falling down her cheeks.

"I love you, Star,"

"I love you, Robin,"

Starfire smiled down at Robin, before leaning in and kissing him softly. "Robin," she whispered. "You have beautiful eyes…."
