Chap 2 : Memories
MEMORY - FOUR YEARS AGO
Starfire sat on top of the roof. The wind was blowing through her hair and she soaked up the suns rays. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to find Robin.
"Good morning friend Robin. I hope your sleep contained now "mares" ?" Starfire said with a smile.
Robin sat down next to her. He had a cup of coffee in his hand. " Nope sleep was good."
Starfire clapped her hands, " Glorious!"
"Hey Star I think breakfast is ready, want to go eat?" Robin asked after a while.
"Yes. Lets go inside." She said getting up. Robin and her went downstairs to eat.
"Dude bacon comes from a pig! I've been a pig! Tell me something ---would you eat me?!" Beastboy said angrily as Robin and Starfire walked into the common room.
Cyborg, whom Beastboy had been talking to, shook his head. "Man I wouldn't eat you if I was starving!"
Beastboy took offense to this and raised a knife to Cyborg. " Well I'll eat you and then you'll know how it feels!"
Then a black light surrounded the knife and it hit the wall.
"Will you two please just give me my breakfast!" Raven said in a annoyed tone. They both stopped fighting and brought the breakfast over to the table.
After they had all eaten Robin stood. " Titans I have a very important announcement to make. A new member will be joining the team."
Raven rolled her eyes. "Great. It better not be an other idiot!"
" Glorious! A new friend." Starfire clapped her hands.
" So who is it?" Cyborg asked and if almost on cue the door bell rang.
"That's her now." Robin said as he walked to the door.
He opened it and there stood a blond headed girl with blue eyes. She was wearing a blue skirt with a white top that had a "s" on it.
Robin smiled. "Super Girl welcome to the team." He shook her hand and …blushed! Starfire was the only one who took notice this and was instantly jealous.
" Glad to be here." Super Girl smiled and blushed too.
Robin and the others lead her upstairs. Starfire stood behind. Maybe this isn't so glorious after all. She thought to herself as she walked upstairs.

For three months Super Girl had stayed with the Titans. And the more she was there more Starfire felt left out. There was no doubt , that Super Girl was nice person, but she was slowly taking Starfire's place. You see Super Girl could also fly, she had super strength, she had laser eyes, and she could do other things too like see through buildings. And then there was Robin. Starfire had loved Robin from the day she met him and it seemed not just to her but the others too, that he felt the same way. But after Super Girl came Robin spent most of his time with her.
Instead of Robin and Starfire having conversations on the roof, it would be him and Super Girl. Instead of Starfire riding on the back of Robin's R-cycle Super Girl would ( although she could fly). They went places together and sat by each other. Robin, so it seemed had forgotten about Starfire. But Starfire , although it hurt her to see them together like they were, she stood quietly aside while her heart was being broken. But then one night that all changed.
After watching The Creature from Within Raven, Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire stood. For some reason Robin and Super Girl hadn't wanted to watch the movie. Everyone said goodnight as they walked to their rooms. But Starfire was worried about Robin and Super Girl. Where could they be? I hope no trouble has befallen our friends. Starfire thought to herself.
She decided to go to Robins room to see if he was okay. So she walked down the hallways to Robins room. She was about to turn the corner to the hallway where Robin's door when she heard a giggle.
Carefully making sure that they didn't see her, Starfire poked her head around the corner. And there she saw Super Girl standing outside Robins door in nothing but an overgrown t-shirt, which was Robins, on and she was holding her normal clothes . Robin was in nothing but his boxers!
He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. " I love you." he whispered against her lips.
" I love you too." she said back. " I've got to go though. We don't want any other Titans knowing about this."
" Your right." Robin sighed. Super Girl let go and started to walk away. She turned and blew a kiss before she turned the corner at the opposite end of the hallway. Robin smiled and closed his door.
Starfire sobbed and let herself fall to the floor. She wasn't so naïve. She knew they had made love. Then she stood up and ran to her room.
When she got there the doors closed behind her. She threw herself on the bed crying. Then she got up and went to her closet. She opened it and took a suitcase out. Then she went to her drawers and collected her belongings. Then she packed them into the suitcase. She closed it and sat down with her head in her hands. My heart. It hurts. I can't stay here any longer.
Just then the door opened and there stood Raven. " Starfire will you stop crying I can sense it in my ro----" raven saw the suitcase. "Star what's with the suitcase? Where are you going?"
"Friend Raven," Starfire said with a broken voice and looked up. Raven could see her red puffy eyes.
" Star what happened?" Raven said asked in a concerned voice.
"Please. I do not wish to remember. If you really need to know then you may look into my mind."
"Okay." Raven said a little unsure. After closing her eyes she saw all what Starfire had seen and felt. "Oh, Star I'm so sorry. It hurts so much."
" You see now why I can not stay here."
" Listen Star, Robin is a jerk and a major idiot but that doesn't mean you have to go."
" He doesn't love me!" Starfire yelled. And a green light left her and disappeared.
"Star what was that?" Raven asked.
"On-no." Starfire whispered.
"What?!" Raven asked concerned.
Starfire tried to use her star bolts. They didn't work. She tried using her laser eyes. They didn't work. She tried to fly but could no longer feel flight within her. Raven saw this and understood.
"You're powers…they're gone." Raven said in shock.
"Yes. When a heart is broken on my planet is broken, the Tamerian loses their powers. For it is out hearts that give us and makes us able to use our powers, if it is broken we can no longer do anything . My heart has been shattered."
Raven looked down. She knew that there wouldn't be any stopping Starfire. Especially now that she had no powers to fight. Raven could feel her broken heart. And it felt like being stabbed a thousand times. "Well if you're going you'll need something. Stay here I'll go get it." Raven said in her normal voice and left the room.
While Starfire waited for Raven's return she changed into a purple sweat suit with a white tank top and sneakers. Then she put her hair into a pony-tail.
When Raven returned she had something in her hand. Starfire recognized it. It was money.
Raven put it into Starfire's hand and said, " That's 550 dollars. It should be able to pay for a plane ticket and a ride to the air port. You are going to the air port?"
"Yes I am. But Raven I can not take this. This is all your money!" Starfire said trying to put it back into Raven's hands , but Raven shook her head.
"Starfire I want you to have it.So I know that you're safe."
Starfire hugged Raven tightly. But surprisingly Raven hugged back. " Friend Raven you are truly my best friend. Thank-you. But please do not tell the others right away. I do not want them following me."
Raven nodded, " I'll give you a two hour head start. Before I tell them. I don't know where you're going but where ever it is you need to be careful."
" I promise I will be careful."
" Well then c'mon I called you a cab it should be here any minute." Raven said as she lead Starfire out of the room. Starfire got her things. She looked at her room once more before shutting off the light.
When they got downstairs a cab was waiting. Tears rolled down Starfire's eyes and it started raining as she said, " Thank-you. I will miss you very much."
" And I will miss you too." Raven said as one tear rolled down her cheek and she hugged Starfire.
Starfire got into the cab and waved as it pulled away. She looked back at Titans Tower one last time before turning around and saying. " Jump City air port please and hurry."
- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It had been 45 minute drive to Jump City air port. Starfire paid the cab driver and got out. The glass sliding doors opened as she walked into the terminal. She walked over to where the many airlines where lined up. She got in line at Southwest airlines. When she got to the counter the lady was still typing. Her name tag said Margot.
Margot stopped typing and looked up. " Good morning and welcome to Southwest airlines. How may I help you."
" Yes. When is your next fight?" Starfire asked shyly.
" Our next flight is Jump City to New York City. Flight 101." Margot said in a cheerful voice.
" May I have a seat?" Starfire asked unsure of what to say.
" Let me see," Margot said typing on the computer, " Yes there is an opening in middle class. Would you like the seat?"
" Yes please." Starfire said happily.
" Ok. Your name please.?"
" Ummm… Kori-- Kori Anders. That is my name." Starfire said happily.
" Yes. And your name and address?"
" Umm.. I do not have one." Starfire said slowly.
" So New York City is where you're going to live?" Margot asked.
" I suppose it is."
" Alright. It will be 350 dollars." Margot said.
" I only have the green dollars." Starfire said.
" I guess I could accept that." Margot said. Usually they didn't accept cash but in this cash Margot was going to make an acceptation.
Starfire counted the money and handed it to Margot. And Margot handed her a ticket.
" Have a great fight." Margot said with a smile as she took Starfire's suit case. " Oh, you better hurry their boarding like right now. Just go up the elevator and find that says 101."
" Thank-you. Goodbye!" Starfire said as she ran to the elevator. She got upstairs and quickly found the sign 101. She handed the lady her ticket and boarded the plane.
" All passengers please fasten the seatbelts. Our fight from Jump City to New York will begin in a moment." Stafire fastened her seatbelt. Then the plane started to take off. Starfire looked at Jump City that was now getting smaller.
"Goodbye." she whispered.

Meanwhile…….
Raven had watched as Starfire drove away. And some windows around her broke. Why does this always have to happen? she thought to herself and she stepped into the tower. She sat down on the common room couch with shock. She's gone she's really gone.
She sat there for two hours and then it was 12:00am. Raven got up. Time to tell them some of the worst news they'll ever hear. Raven went from room to room knocking and telling them to go out to the common room. She went to all the rooms except Super Girl's. Raven didn't want her to feel bad. It wasn't her fault. Oh, but Robin was going to get a earful.
They all sat in the common room. Raven looked out the window trying to control her emotions. Trying not to cry. " Yo, earth to Raven it's 12:00am. Girl I'm tired so say what you got to say."
"Where's Super Girl?" Robin asked.
" She isn't going to hear this." Raven said solemnly .
" Hey where's Star?" Beastboy asked.
" She's gone." Raven said trying now to hold back anger.
" What do you mean gone? Raven where is she?" Robin asked in a concerned voice.
Raven couldn't hold it in any more. She turned to face them with four red eyes. " You! You don't care about her! After what you did with Super Girl. Yeah, that's right I know. She knows. You broke her heart! You idiot! You fool! You couldn't see that she has loved you ever since she arrived here? You played her! You played all of us! She thought, we thought, you loved her too. But no! You threw her away. You threw her feelings away like yesterdays trash. And for what? A blond headed bimbo! She left. She packed her things and left to God knows where. And who'll she'll meet and what will happen to her God knows what! But do you care? NO, I really don't think you do!!!! She's gone forever because of you! Congratulations Robin, you selfish son of a bitch, I hope you're happy!" And with that Raven stormed out of the room with tears down her face and as she ran windows and lights broke.
Robin, Cyborg, and Beastboy just stood there in shock.
" She's gone." Beastboy whispered.
" No! God damn it!" Cyborg yelled.
" I didn't---"Robin started but Cyborg cut in.
" You didn't what Robin? You didn't know that you where hurting her!" Cyborg said in anger.
" Did you love her at all? At any time?" Beastboy whispered.
" At one time I did but when Super Girl came-. I just fell in love with her too." Robin said quietly.
" It's my fault too. I saw her getting hurt but I didn't do anything. I never thought she would---" Beastboy said but Cyborg finished.
"Leave. Neither did I. And now she's gone forever. The best person I ever knew. I hope she's ok. I think---I need to go work on my baby." Cyborg said and left the room.
"I'll go check on Raven," said Beastboy also heading towards the door. He stopped and turned to face Robin, " You know you'll never meet another girl like her. One that will love you no matter what." Then he walked out.
Robin sat down on the couch with his head in his hands. Oh, God what did I do?

Meanwhile…………
The plane had landed an hour ago. Starfire had decided not to take a cab to save money. She had been walking for what seemed like forever. It was now raining. She was soaked, she was cold, she hadn't slept so she was tired, and was hungry. It all seemed like a dream because it had happened so fast. It was only 4 hours ago that she had been at Titans tower and happy and with her family. Now she was alone walking the streets of New York City. It started to rain harder. She was now freezing. She looked around the only place that was open was a little market called Doceys. She ran inside where she was instantly warm. She looked around only one person was there. He was an old man.
She walked towards the counter where he stood. When she got there she asked, "Do you have any food items that are warm please. Maybe mustard."
The man looked up for the first time at the soaked teenager, who was shivering, and looked tired. " I have just the thing." He said. He warmed up some hot chocolate and handed it to her. She drank it as though she hadn't drank anything in days. She put down the cup and started to hand the man money.
He man shook his head, " No I can't accept your money."
" I thank-you for the warm chocolate." Starfire said smiling.
" No need. Are you far from home?" He said pointing to a suitcase.
She shook her head. " I do not have a home." He man looked at her and decided that she needed help.
" Now tell me young-lady what's your name?" The old man smiled.
" It is Star---I mean Kori Anders." She said.
" Well Kori looks like you need some sleep. Do you want to go get some?"
" Yes, but I do not have a place to sleep." Starfire said sadly.
" You know I live right up the street. Me and my wife have an extra bedroom. You're welcome to come with me." the old man said kindly.
Starfire thought. She knew it could be dangerous, but what else was she going to do? She nodded.
" Wonderful. Here come with me we'll take the car. My name is Mr. Docey. I own this store." He lead her out into the car. When they arrived at his home a few blocks later . He lead her inside and took her into a room.
" Well this is it. Now you go to sleep and I'll see you in the morning." he said pointing to the bed. He closed the door. She laid on the bed and soon fell asleep.
The sun woke her the next morning. She got up and wondered out to the kitchen. There at the stove stood a plump woman who was about 57. She turned around and saw Starfire.
" You must be Kori!" she said happily. "Please sit down and eat." Starfire sat and a huge plate of pancakes was set before her. She ate them happily.
" I thank-you. Mrs. Docey" Starfire said politely.
" Oh, call me Marge. You are just the sweetest girl." Marge said as she rubbed Star shoulder.
Just then Mr. Docey came in. "Hello, Kori! Good morning. I have a surprise for you. Now go get dressed."
" Yes right away." Starfire said getting up. She changed into blue jeans and a pink shirt and came back into the room. " I am ready."
" Then lets go." Mr. Docey said happily . They got into the car and drove to Docey's market. They got out and he lead her up the stairs. He opened the door and there before her was an apartment.
" I used to live here before I got married. It's been empty now 35 years but now you may live here. There's already furniture and I've stocked it up with food. You're welcome to stay here as long as you like. But sadly I'm going to need just a small amount of rent every month. But don't worry about getting a job, I already got you one working down at the store. Now if you don't like any of this just say so. I just figured I would help out since you have no place to go."
Starfire had been silent while he was talking. She was now in the middle of the living room. She had her head down and was crying. She turned to him with a smile on her face. She ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Oh, this is wonderful!!!!!! Thank-you!!!"
"Well I'm glad you like it. I'll go get your bags." Then he went downstairs. She spun around and jumped up and down. Then she faced a mirror that was next to the door.
" Hello I am Kori Anders." she said to her reflection.
