The Titans were staying at Wayne Manor for as long as they wanted. They kind of liked being in the place that Robin considered a home at the end of his childhood. They didn't like sleeping alone in each of their large bedrooms which were identical to Starfire's. So they stayed two to a room. Starfire and Raven in one and Beast Boy and Cyborg in the other. Having super powers helped them move the humongous beds into different rooms.
They had been there for three days when they were sitting outside in the back yard of the mansion just staring at the darkening sky. It had looked like it was going to rain ever since they showed up there 3 days ago. That's when Cyborg remembered that he still hadn't given Starfire her letter from Robin. They had all forgotten about them it seemed like forever since they had received them.
"Hey Star," Cyborg said handing her the envelope with her name on in. "This is for you.........it's from Robin."
The Titans explained how they received their letters and the brought theirs out also for her to read also. She didn't really understand until she read the other Titan's letters first. She slowly opened her letter and started to read it aloud.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Dearest Starfire,
I'm sorry I had to go so soon. I know that you're going to find out who I really was under the mask. I know you'll meet my mentor Bruce Wayne. I know that you'll remember me but I also know that it'll never be the same for you. I was going to tell you.........there was just never a right time to do it.
I miss you Star. I miss you and all the others. It's not the same without you. It'll never be the same. I want you all to move on but I don't want you to forget me. I couldn't bear that to happen again.
You and the other Titan's may be wondering why I never found out who Slade really was under the mask. Well that's because.........well to me.........I didn't care about that anymore.........it was no longer my one obsession. My obsession was to get back to you. To me Slade was just Slade. To me he was always just Slade. He was never a real person just an evil villain that I had to defeat. It didn't matter who he really was or why he hated the Titans so much because if I found out who he really was I would still have to fight him. I would still have to destroy him. It didn't matter who he was; it just mattered that he became Slade.
Star there is another letter in here for Bruce and Alfred. Can you please give it to them? Thank you Star.
Star I know that I haven't said this enough to you but I love so much and my love for you will never end. I will be waiting for you until the end of time itself. Please don't forget me my shining Star, because I'll never forget you.
Robin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Starfire was crying by the time she finished reading what Robin had written. She truly loved him and it still hurt her to remember that he was gone from her. It comforted her to know that he would still be waiting for her because she would always be waiting for him.
She stood up quickly and ran back up to the house leaving her friends sitting there. They let her go knowing that she just needed some time alone and then she'd come back to them.
Starfire found Bruce in his large office. The door was open but she thought that it would be more polite to knock first. He looked up from his papers his eyes dark with grief.
"Yes Starfire?"
"Excuse me Mr. Wayne but I have something for you and Alfred," she said handing out the note for them that was in the same envelope as hers. It had their names on the front of the folded piece of paper.
"What is it?" he asked curiously.
"It's a few last words from Dick."
"What?" he said handling the paper carefully. "How?"
"Robin left each of us a letter and that is your and Alfred's. Do you wish me to get him?" she asked.
"That is not needed Miss Starfire for I am already here," Alfred said standing in the doorway.
"Then I suppose I shall leave you two to your reading," she said leaving the room quickly not wanting to cry in front of them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
She went to the room she and Raven shared and wept for knowing the Robin loved her even through death. She wept for knowing his surrogate family never had a real chance to say good bye to him. She wept for not being prepared for his death. She wept for not wanting to go on without him. And she wept for falling in love.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Once she composed herself she went back outside to sit with her friends. When she approached Cyborg stood up and went to her.
"You ok Star," Cyborg asked placing his arm around her shoulders.
"Yes Cyborg," she said wiping her eyes on her arm. "I think I am finally able to move on. Let us all go home my friends. I think that is what Robin would have wanted us to do."
"Yes I think that is what he would've wanted too," Cyborg said as he held his best friend's love and silently vowed never to let anything happen to her. And wherever Robin was he smiled knowing that his team would move on.
