The Titans looked at each other both worried, and scared. Cyborg was never the one to loose his cool. Robin went to the phone and put it back on its cradle, then walked over to the table and picked up the paper ready to throw it out. To break the awkward silence Starfire spoke, "Yes well, um...I guess I shall go pack my knapsack now and head out."
Beast Boy then turned to Starfire and asked, " But wont you need more then just a backpack to carry all your stuff?"
" Oh no, my parental unites have everything I would need at my home. I'm just packing a few things like pictures, and earthly electronics to show them my new friends and some of the things you people use on your daily basis. Would you mind if I took the toaster with me on my trip?" Raven answered her in her monotone voice,
" Um yea we would. You see we kind of need the toaster to make toast. Why don't you take the Titan communicator instead? That way if you need us you could just call in. Or vise versa. And you could also show it to your "parental unites".
"Glorious! That is an excellent idea Raven thank you! Well I am going to go pack." Raven just rolled her eyes and went back to her book. Starfire then left to her room. A little while later she came back. She put on a pink sweater and had a black backpack on her right shoulder. "Well friends," she said, "I am off. I shall miss you all so very much. I will contact you as soon as I have reached Tamaran." Starfire then walked over to Beast Boy and gave him a hug good by. Beast Boy surprised at first but then hugged her back.
"We'll miss ya Star. Be careful kay, don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"I will not. Oh and good bye Robin" She then walked over to him and gave him a hug.
" Bye Star. Like B.B. said be careful. If you get in any trouble call us, all right?" Star shook her head yes then went to Raven, but Raven just put her arm up to stop star before she gave her a hug. She put her book down and said in a rather plain voice,
"Yea like the boys said, we'll miss you. Just...just don't give me a hug. Nothing against you Star, I'm just not the hugging type." Starfire a little upset with Ravens remark, but she respected her wishes. Everyone then got up to walk Star to the door. Just before she left through the big open door she turned around. The slight breeze blew through her fiery red hair, her emerald green eyes started to glass. She lifted her hand to wipe her cheek. When she spoke she did it through her tears.
" I...I shall miss you so very much." Robin came over to her and put a gentle hand on her shoulder. He looked into her eyes and said,
" Listen Star, your only going to be gone for like what, 18 days? There's no need to cry. Everything going to be fine, and when Cyborg comes back with his cousin we'll tell him that you left."
" All right. Oh and when Cyborg does come tell him that his cousin, Anita, can use my room for slumber. I do not wish for her to use any guest bedroom to sleep. I want her to be as comfortable as possible, I mean I have no idea what has happened to her but it must have been horrible. Please say to her that it is with my deepest sympathy that I offer her my room, and that I hope she is able to work everything out."
Beast Boy then steeped up front from his background position and told her that they would tell Anita what she said, and that he'd miss her. With that Starfire turned around and flew up to the sky. With one last look back at the tower, her home, she went off top speed to Tamaran. After she left, the house seemed empty without Starfire, without her talking and laughing. The house almost seemed dead. Now Raven had no one to meditate with, and Beast Boy had no one to eat ice-cream sundaes with, and Robin had no one to put the yin in his yang so to speak.
10:00 at night:
Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
It's been exactly twelve hours since Cyborg and Starfire left. Beast Boy was starting to get worried about Cyborg. Starfire had called in at seven so the titans knew she was okay, but Cyborg didn't call in or come back or anything. Beast Boy then got up from his video game with Robin and went to go leave to look for Cyborg. Robin looked up and asked, " Were are you going?" He also got up from his seat on the sofa and put the game on pause. He then walked over to his friend and leaned back on the kitchen counter, waiting for his friend's response. Beast Boy looked at him and spoke in as normal voice as he could, to hide his worry for Cyborg.
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through
" I...I'm going out to find Cyborg. He should have been back by now. I mean how long can it take to pick up his cousin? I mean all he had to do is go over to her house pick her up and bring her over here. Its not like that's a hard thing to do, what if he shorted out again like he did that time at the park? What if what if Cy needs are help?" Robin just raised an eyebrow at him. He then turned to the refrigerator opened it a picked out a soda. He turned back to Beast Boy and offered the can to him. He took it but he still had a look of worry all over his face. Robin then finally spoke.
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm Sorry we do this
" Relax B.B. If Cy was in any trouble he'd call in, you know that. And as for his cousin, she lives in Gothem City. Cyborg told me before, so it would take a while for him to pick her up when she lives four hours away."
And it's ironic too
Cuz what we tend to do
" Even so," Beast Boy shot back, " It would take only nine hours to go there and then come back! Four hours to go pick her up, one hour to talk and another four hours to bring her to the tower! Its been twelve hours all ready, aren't you worried?!" Just before Robin could answer him back the front door to the tower opened. In the distance you could here two people talking. One, a males voice, another was a females.
The young woman's voice was a lot more quite and it quaked a bit, most likely because she was crying and trying to talk at the same time. Beast Boy put down his can of soda and went to Ravens room "Raven!" he said knocking on her door. "Cyborg's back! Come on!" Raven came out wearing a black gown and walked down the hallway with her friend.
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way
Robin then meet up with his friends and walked down the stairs to the main door. There Beast Boy and Robin saw the most beautiful girl they had ever laid eyes on. Around Cyborgs arm was a teenage girl of about 5'5. She had on navy blue bellbottoms and a white tank top that had red lace around the bottom and top of the shirt. She wore white platform sandals and two bracelets on each arm. For a necklace there was a white bat with ruby red eyes. She had hair that had very loose curls, she had feathered bangs that slightly covered her left eye.
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
Her hair was a beautiful mixture of light brown and pale red, and her hair went down to about her waist. The young girls' eyes were the most unusual color the other titans had ever seen. The rings around them were dark purple and her actual eye was a light violate. Cyborg then went over to Robin and spoke in a soft calm voice, "Robin do you think you could take Anita here to one of the guest bedrooms?"
" Cyborg, Star said your cousin could sleep in her room. And she sends her deepest sympathies to you and her."
Who are they
Where are they
How can they possibly
Know all this
" Oh well tell her I said thanks." Cyborg then turned to Anita and said, "Robin is going to take you to your room, I'll get your bangs and meet you in a little while." Anita just stared at Robin with the most haggard and terrified look ever made. It sliced right through Robin. ' Why is she looking at me like that, did I do something wrong? No I couldn't have we just meet, How could I have done anything wrong. I didn't even say anything yet' Cyborg noticed the look she was giving his friend and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, you can trust him." And with that he left through the front door to go get her bags. Anita just stood there, not knowing what to do. Raven bored already went back to her room. Beast Boy decided to introduce himself.
Who are they

Know all this
"Hey, um Anita. he-he youlook a lot different from your baby picture." She looked at him confused.
"Baby picture? What baby picture?" When she spoke it was almost like she was singing. She had a tune to her voice. But it was as if it was played on an old piano, still beautiful, but worn out.
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
" Oh one Cy showed us, from when you were like five." Beast Boy explained.
" Oh." Was all she said she then hung her head. Robin then took her arm and led her away from Beast Boy knowing that sooner or later he was going to say something that would upset her. She came willingly, her hair flowing behind her. When they reached Stars room they stopped, Robin opened the door for her and led her in.
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
"Well this is it. Hope you find it comfortable, oh and sorry about Beast Boy, the green kid. If he upset you in any way he really didn't mean it." She answered him in a soft voice, head still hanging.
"That's okay, he didn't. The girl that has this room, Starfire, tell her I said thanks. And that I hope she gets to her family safe." Robin just stared at her.
" Did...did Cyborg tell you about Star?" She shook her head.
"No, I...I just know."
Who are they
Where are they
How do they
Know all this
"Of course. Well I guess I'll just leave, let you get comfy. Cy should be hear soon." Anita just sat on the bed, hugging her knees. She closed her eyes and tears started flowing down her checks. Robin left and closed her door for her. Decided she would like some privacy. A little while later Cyborg came back with Beast Boy and they placed Anita's bags outside her door. Cyborg was about to knock on his cousins' door when he turned to his friend and gave him a look as if so say 'you can leave now.' Beast Boy got it and left with out any questions asked. Cyborg then knocked on her door. It opened and there stood Anita. Eyes red and wet from crying. She steeped aside and let him enter.
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
Do you see what I see
Then she looked out the door looking both ways seeing if anyone was coming from ether side of the hallway. When she saw no one she closed the door. Unknown to her Robin was just rounding the corner to go to his room when she closed her door. When Robin reached her door he heard Cyborg and Anita talking. Well Cyborg was talking, Anita was crying and talking. He couldn't help himself, Robin pressed his ear against the door and listened in on their conversation.
Why do live like this
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
It wasn't like him but he felt like he had a right to know what was going on with her. I mean if he was going to stop Beast Boy from saying the wrong thing in front of her, first he had to know what was wrong with her. But what he heard just confused him more.
Anita: Cyborg you know I didn't mean to right? It....it was an accident. They...they were asking for it You know how they treated me. Right? I... I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!
Cyborg: I know, I know. Don't worry I took care of every thing.
Anita: But what if someone saw...saw me do what I did? They'd call the police! I can't go to jail, Cyborg don't let them take me to jail please! I didn't mean to!
Cyborg: Don't worry, if anyone saw they would have called the cops already. Don't worry, we cleaned up everything. No one will EVER find out.
And who are they
Where are they
How can they
Know all this
And I'm sorry I'm sorry we do this
