A/N: WOO! REVIEWS! Goody! I wake up to find reviews in my Inbox...yippee! OH YES FOR THE RECORD – Richard and Summer are ENGAGED, they are NOT married. Sorry if anybody got confused by that.

Chapter Nine: Seeing Old Friends Again

"Friend Cyborg, you are fully repaired!" Starfire cried, clapping her hands together in excitement.

It was true; instead of having metal parts attached to him, all you could now see was just dark brown skin (and clothing, of course). (A/N: Just picture how Cy looked in Deception with better clothing on.)

"Uh, yep," Victor muttered, nodding. "Oh, don't call me 'Cyborg' anymore. I go by Victor now."

"Oh, alright Victor!"

"Girl, you always caught on quickly," Victor admired, grinning.

Starfire blushed, not knowing what to say.

"Come on," Raven muttered, walking back to the table she was sitting at. "Let's just sit down for a while."

And with that, the three friends sat down at the small table. For what seemed like minutes, they sat there in silence, staring at one another (mostly at Starfire). The two older Titans were still in shock, seeing their friend for the first time in ten years.

"So, um, how are ya, Star?" Victor asked, trying to make conversation.

"Oh, I am doing fine," she told them, nodding.

"Really?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow. "You're not traumatized or anything?"

Starfire shook her head. "Although I was quite upset last night, I have..." She paused, trying to think of the words. "I have become much better!"

"So, where you staying at?" Victor asked.

"With Richard."

"Richard Grayson?" Raven and Victor questioned, shocked.

"Uh...Robin?" Starfire said, hoping they would understand her.

"Yeah, Robin IS Richard Grayson," Raven explained. "Except not really anybody knows that."

"So, you keep in contact then?" Starfire asked.

Raven and Victor remained silent. They glanced at each other, their faces concerned. They then turned back to Starfire.

"Although he is on the news a lot," Cyborg started.

"We haven't kept in contact since the Titan's broke up," Raven finished.

Starfire frowned. "Oh, I see..."

"Hey, let's just talk about something else!" Victor then said, grinning. "Take our minds off this..."

"You'd rather not talk about this," Raven said, slightly smiling.

"I'd rather not."

"So, what do you all do for a living now?" Starfire questioned, now smiling again.

"I'm a first class mechanic!" Victor exclaimed, pounding the table.

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Raven asked. "There is no such thing as a 'first class mechanic'."

"Oh, yes there is," Victor said. "I'm the best of the best!"

"So, you are the greatest mechanic in the world?" Starfire asked.

"You bet," Victor answered.

"Yeah, and while he's a mechanic, I'm a psychologist," Raven told her, smiling. "I help people with their problems."

"And they pay her to do so," Victor said. "How much do you charge them, anyway?"

"One-fifty an hour," Raven explained.

"Woo, girl, that's some fee you're charging!" Victor said, patting Raven on the back. "Oh, oh, yes, you must be wondering why Raven is so happy, huh?"

"She has the ability to control her emotions," Starfire told him.

"Well, that, and she loves someone," Victor said in a teasing way.

"Who?" Starfire asked, a hint of eagerness in her voice.

"Garfield," Victor said, patting Raven on the back.

"Who is this 'Garfield' that you speak of?" Starfire asked.

"Oh, he's Beast Boy," Victor plainly told her.

Starfire gasped. "Really?"

"You seem shocked," Raven muttered, her tone monotonous.

"I am excited!" Starfire exclaimed, clapping her hands together.

"Ooh, she seems more excited than I was when I found out," Victor told Raven, who nodded. He then faced Starfire. "Y'see, when they first told us that they were going out, Rob and I did NOT believe them. And then, Gar, who was BB then, kissed her."

"Yeah, it was a bad kiss, too," Raven told them.

"I have a question!" Starfire suddenly said.

"Shoot," Victor said.

"Okay...since the Titans broke up, have you two kept in contact?" she asked. "I mean, you both seem to, uh, get along so well..."

"Well, we recently saw each other again," Victor explained.

"We met up six months ago when Garfield and I moved into an apartment in Jump City," Raven explained.

"Then what are you doing here in Gotham City?" Starfire asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Well, I'm doing some business here for a friend," Victor said.

"And I work here," Raven said. "I work right down the street..."

"And we both had some time off, so we decided to meet up and talk some more," Victor concluded, nodding. "And, lucky us, you decided to join us!"

Starfire giggled. "Well, I am glad to see the both of you again."

"Believe me," Raven said, looking at her. "We're glad to see you, too."

"Aw, Raven's being a nice person today, ain't she?" Victor said, grinning menacingly.

"I am?" Raven asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Yes, you are!" Starfire agreed, nodding.

"Well, you actually have an excuse," Raven told Starfire. She then glared at Victor. "You, on the other hand, are just saying stuff today..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"What did you mean when you said 'Raven's being a nice person today'?"

"Well...when I first saw you six months ago...you were all pissed off and shouting at poor Gar..."

"Oh, don't call Gar poor."

"Aw, is Ravie-poo defending her boyfriend today?"

"What's with the baby noises?"

"How's your sex life?"

Raven looked at Victor, pure venom in her eyes. "Excuse me?"

Victor's grin widened. "You heard me."

"I'm not telling you!" Raven hissed.

"Is it that bad?"

Raven put her head in her hands. "You're the only person stupid enough to ask that kind of question..."

"Don't lie to me and say you haven't had sex before."

"I didn't say I didn't."

"Oh, so you have?"

"I'm not discussing this."

"So...you've had to fake some, huh?"

Raven groaned, shaking her head. "We're not talking about this anymore."

Victor then started laughing. Raven and Starfire just stared at him. Although Starfire was confused, Raven looked like she was about to kill him.

"So, Raven, how long have you and Bea- Garfield been going out?" Starfire asked.

Raven paused for a moment. "Well, we went out starting two years before the Titans broke up, then we took a month off when we broke up to kind of, uh, get settled and everything...and then we kind of got back together, went out for one more year before breaking up for two years." She smiled. "We recently got back together almost a year ago."

"And yet their living together," Victor added, causing to be hit by Raven. "Ouch. What? Ya'll haven't killed each other yet – that is a MIRACLE, I tell ya!"

"You and your southern slang," Raven muttered.

"What about it?" Victor asked.

"Nothing."

"Oh, Star, you're livin' with, uhh...Richard, right?" Victor then asked, scooting closer to Starfire and looking at her.

"Yes."

"Okay, now tell me the truth, aight?" '

"Okay!"

"Is he really engaged?"

Starfire sighed, now slightly frowning. "That is true, yes."

Victor and Raven gasped, looking at each other. "Are you sure?" he slowly asked.

"It is most definitely true," Starfire muttered.

Raven remained quiet for a moment. She was about to say something when a cell phone started ringing. All three of them pulled out their cell phones saying, "Hello?"

Cyborg and Starfire put their phones away as Raven smiled. "Mm-hmm...yes...no...no, he's right here...well, guess who's back...who?…No...No, you wouldn't...just guess before I hang up..." She sighed. "Starfire...yes...no, I'm not...no, I'm not...Yes, damn it, she's right here!...okay...alright...are you sure?…okay…okay…alright…ALRIGHT THEN…" She smiled. "Love you, too…okay…well…it's getting pretty late…okay…yeah, I'll ask her…" She turned pale. "No...I thought he might have told her...you're right...yeah...okay...okay...bye…bye." She hung up.

"Well, how's Gar doin'?" Victor asked.

"He wants to see you," Raven told Starfire. "But tell me Robin's address. I thought maybe we could drop by tomorrow."

"268 Jump Avenue, Apartment 3C," Starfire told her.

"Wow, you've got it memorized, don't'cha?" Victor asked.

Starfire blushed. "Well..."

"Nah, I'm just teasin' ya, girl," Victor said, patting her back.

"Well, I should be heading on out now," Raven said, standing up. "It takes about thirty minutes to get back to Jump City."

"Yeah, I should be getting to the airport anyway," Victor said, also standing up. "My flight leaves in about ninety minutes."

Starfire looked at a clock. It was six o' five. "Yes, I should be heading back as well."

"Star, it was so good to see you," Victor told her, enveloping her in a hug. She hugged him back. "It was also good to see you, friend."

"Oh, how I missed your friendly outlook on life," he said, parting from her and looking down at her.

She giggled.

Raven walked over to them. She stood there for a moment before leaning forward and hugging Starfire, who, of course, hugged her back in return.

"I'll probably drop by Richard's place after work tomorrow," Raven said after hugging Victor. "I have about three appointments tomorrow, so I should be there between three and four."

"Will Garfield be accompanying you as well?" Starfire asked.

Raven shrugged. "Probably. He's was very sick last week and is starting to get better...but, like I said, probably."

"Gar was sick, huh?" Victor teased.

Raven hit his arm. "Shut the hell up."

"Ooh, somebody's crabby."

"Somebody wants to get hurt today by Raven, huh? You seem pretty defenseless without your machinery," Raven teased.

"Oh, that was cold," he said.

"Richard! Are you home yet?"

Silence.

Starfire walked into the apartment, shutting the door behind her. She looked around. After thoroughly searching the apartment, she concluded that he wasn't home. She then came upon his room. She peeked her head in.

The bed was fixed perfectly. The room...perfect; no clothes, no nothing on the floor. Everything was in order.

Just like Richard to be neat like this, she thought to herself, smiling. As she looked around, she noticed a book hanging out from under the bed.

She stared at it for a moment before bending down and picking it up. She blew the dust off of it and noticed it had the words "Memories" in a cursive handwriting at the top. As she opened it, she noticed the first few pages of it were of the Titans. After that, it became photos of just him and her.

She smiled, slightly blushing. She then noticed clippings of newspapers. Most of them were negative, saying stuff like, "Missing Titan?" and "Are the Titans Going to Remain Together?".

She sighed and turned the page. She gasped, disbelief written all over he face. "No...oh, no..."

A/N: CLIFFHANGER! Oh, yay, I wrote this in two days! WOO! Yeah, I know the ending probably sucked. Not too proud of it, but I had to get this up tonight...'coz The OC is on right now, American Idol comes on next, then thirty minutes of free time, then all new ER...I want to write most of the next chapter today, but it's going to be hard.

Oh, yeah, about that shocking thing...I LEFT A CLIFFY OF IT! Guess all you want of what the next page has...but I know what it's going to be about. Cookies to anyone who guesses right!

Oh, about the next chapter, Garfield WILL be in it. So will Raven. I know Victor will be in this story...but no for a few chapters. And Richard will be in the next chapter. And it should be long, too...
