Hidden Message

Starfire stared blankly at the letter. How…how can this be? With trembling fingers she gently took it into her hands. The smooth crispness of the paper brought her down to reality. This was real. Somehow, Robin had written to her.

Her fingers shook so violently she cursed herself. She slid her fingers into the envelope, pulling out a letter. With a tremulous look on her face, she read its contents.

Star,

I have to write this very secretly, as I am being watched as I am recording this now. I had to write something, though, no matter if I got caught or not. I know that you will find me Star. You always managed to help me. I can't tell you too much, in case this letter is intercepted. I am giving it to someone I trust, and they will hopefully be able to get this to you.

Remember me always,

Richard

She blinked. How was this supposed to help her find him? She searched the whole letter, through and through. Her eyes fell to the envelope. Out of the top was a piece of paper that was showing. She pulled it out and read the following.

Lookin through a window,

Rain is falling duwn.

Through all of it though,

Neiher of us frown.

We are together now,

Two combinid as

one.

Sharing siles of love,

Bright as the shining sun.

Right now, dear reader, you are probably wondering 'What the heck is wrong with Robin?' You'd think Starfire's reaction would be the same.

But she was smiling. A memory flew into her head.

OOO

"Robin, what is this book about?"

"Well, Star, its about secret codes. You know, like hidden messages."

"Please elaborate, Robin."

"Well, lets say that you get a letter. And there are a bunch of mistakes. You take the letter or letters that are missing or have the wrong letter in its place, and you create a new word or words."

OOO

Starfire knew which poem this was too. She had been in Robin's room that same day, when she had stumbled upon a book of poems. Robin had left to use the restroom, so she took a quick look at it.

This poem had been book-marked, and Koriand'r was written above it. She did not think Robin was a poetic person, and heard him coming. Turning to confront him about it, the alarms went off. Sighing, she put it back. It would have to wait.

Doing a quick scan of the poem, she pieced together one word.

OOO

"Gothem?" Beast Boy's incredulous voice cut through the air.

"Yes, that is where he is being held captive," Starfire said, a flush to her cheeks and some of the twinkle back in her eyes. Knowing that she could save Robin had awakened her, and she wanted to save him NOW. Beast Boy exchanged a look with Raven, who raised her eyebrow in response.

"Star, are you sure that Robin meant Gothem?" Cyborg asked kindly. He had been the most upset about Robin, except for Starfire, and had practically lived in the garage for the past month.

She nodded furiously. Why will they not understand?

"Yes. We must hurry. He is in great danger, and I wish to help him. Now."

Beast Boy glanced at Raven once more, who nodded. He looked at Cyborg, who was smiling. Grinning, he turned back to Starfire.

"When do we leave?"

OOO

Robin smiled contentedly. He had given the letter in secret to the lady who gave him his food. They had become friends as of late, and shared small messages in furtive ways, like hiding it in food. From her he had found out that he was currently in Gothem, and had immediately sent a letter to Starfire, knowing she would figure it out.

Quietly he whispered the memorized words of the poem he knew she had seen.

"Looking through a window,

Rain is falling down.

Through all of it though,

Neither of us frown.

We are together now,

Two combined as one.

Sharing smiles of love,

Bright as the shining sun."
