Starfire couldn't believe the news when Robin first told them and she couldn't believe it now.........after he was gone. She couldn't believe that he would go so soon. It was about two weeks after he told them about his disease. He left them in the night. "Peacefully" was the word Raven used to describe his death. Beast Boy was the one who found him. He was frantic when he told the rest of them.........that Robin was dead.
"Guys he's gone!" were his exact words.
They didn't understand at first. They just thought he was missing so he had to repeat himself.
"Guys Robins.........Robins...dead........."
They just stood there in disbelief, waiting for Beast Boy to yell "Just Kidding" but.........he didn't. A tear leaked out of his eyes and that's when they knew.
Raven covered her ears with her hands and a tear leaked out of her eye.
"No!" she yelled. "NO!"
All the windows shattered at once and she fell to her knees shaking with sobs. Cyborg ran to Robin's room to see for himself and Beast Boy went and quietly sat down on the couch crying silently.
Starfire.........didn't cry.........she didn't move or speak.........she showed no emotion.........she understood but didn't want to.........it seemed she was dead inside. She turned on heel and slowly walked up onto the rooftop. She looked over the edge at the long drop beneath her. She smiled and just started to laugh when she remembered all the times she and Robin would sneak up there some nights.
"Star?" Cyborg's voice called from behind her.
"Greetings Cyborg, come sit with me."
Cyborg obeyed and sat with his legs dangling over the edge and Starfire did the same. "You ok?" he asked.
"How did you join the Titans?" she asked totally ignoring his question. She hadn't looked at him since he came up on the roof. She had a feeling that if she looked at someone she would burst into tears but she wanted to be strong.........Robin would be strong.
Cyborg looked over at her but she would not return his gaze. "Robin and I got into a fight on the street. I stole something from a store.........I don't remember what it was but I think it was a few pieces of fruit. I was living on the street because no one would hire me because of my appearance. When Robin found out he asked me to join a team of superheroes he was recruiting. I accepted his invitation and I was the first Titan he recruited. He gave me upgrade so I had a blasted and better strength.
"He never asked me about my past or how I got on the streets. He was a good kid and a great friend. I'm gonna miss him Star."
"I remember the first time Robin showed me the Tower," Starfire said with a peaceful smile; staring at the setting sun. "I thought it was palace for some great royalty. I was afraid to go in but once I met all of you I was not scared anymore. Robin was always there for me.........to help me get used to your Earth customs.
"He and I used to come up here at night when I was upset." She turned her head to look at Cyborg. "And now he's dead.........he's dead! Dead.........dead!!" She burst into sobs. Cyborg took the young Tamaranian into his arms. She put her face on his metallic chest.
Starfire looked up at Cyborg, "I am going to be leaving."
He looked down at her and nodded slowly.
"I understand Star.........I understand," he said quietly as twilight fell upon the Tower.........and its grieving occupants.
Below them another two Titans were crying for their loss.
"Shh Raven," Beast Boy said kneeling down next to the huddled form on the floor. "It'll be ok."
"He's gone......... he's gone," Raven kept saying between sobs, her hands were still clamped tightly around her head. She didn't seem to notice the other Titan trying to comfort her. "He's not coming back this time. He's gone.........gone.........gone!!"
"Hush Raven.........calm down," Beast Boy said wrapping his arms around her trembling form. "Please Rae calm down."
"He lied again.........he lied.........he lied.........he lied," Raven was muttering now still shaking her head.
"What?" Beast Boy asked confused. "What did who lie about?"
"Robin lied.........he said he'd always.........be there to protect us.........he broke his promise twice.........twice.........he lied to me.........he isn't here.........he can't protect us."
"Raven shh.........it's going to be ok.........shh.........I'm here.........its going to be alright.........I'm here and it's alright."
She buried her face into his slim chest and cried and cried and cried.
"He's gone.........he's gone.........he's gone........."
