Chapter 5.Just like home

Robin hit the shut down button.

Valere fell face first into the ground and the others come over to check on him. "That hurt like a bitch." He told them, while still on the ground.

"You got six of them." Cyborg declared.

"No." Valere replied while getting up. "I got five of them. The one that I cut at the waist still functioned and that is the one that shot me."

Beast Boy cut in front of Valere. "Dude! Why didn't you freeze them or something?"

Valere laughed. "Because, I wanted to see how many I could defeat without using magic. And, I don't think it's such a good idea to reveal my entire hand just yet."

Beast Boy looked confused. "But I can see your entire hand," He said, "your not wearing gloves."

Raven laughed at him. "You're so funny." She said

"What's wrong with you?" Beast Boy practically yelled. "And, why isn't anything blowing up?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." She teased. "Actually, I don't really know. But, I do know that I'm free."

For the rest of the day, Valere spent most of his time with Starfire. Raven hung out with Cyborg and Beast Boy. Robin spent a lot of his time looking over old files for information that Valere could use.

Valere and Starfire got along very well. They spent their entire morning talking. She told him everything she could remember about her world and he even started to learn some of her native tongue. He eventually got around to telling her of the beauty of his land and his family and friends. She found that he seemed to love his little sister the most, for he went on and on about her.

After lunch, Starfire grew tired of sitting around in the tower, so they left. Robin had seem them go.

"Do you think Valere wants Star?" He asked Cyborg, who had decided to go and take a look at the records of Valere's arrival.

He thought for a minute. "As far as I know he's only done two things that could even resemble hitting on her. When he kissed her hand and when he told her that she is beautiful." He thought for another minute. "Now that I think about it, he doesn't seem to have any sexual interest in her at all."

"I don't really see how that is possible." Robin stated.

Cyborg chuckled. "I don't." Then he walked off and left Robin with his thoughts.

Beast Boy had asked Raven if she wanted to play video games. She had been reluctant at first, but had accepted in the end. She only lost three times and after that she was unbeatable. Beast Boy had grown tired of losing and suggested they watch a movie. The movie ended as Starfire and Valere returned.

"Where were you two?" Beast Boy asked.

Starfire was actually worn out and retired to her room with no more then a smile to her friends. Valere sat next to Raven on the couch. "We went to the park and walked around for an hour. Then we played with some kids. I found an arcade and we played on a dance machine for an hour and a half, it took us some time to figure out how it worked, until today I have never seen one." He smiled. "The last thing we did was chase down a mugger."

"Sounds like you two had fun." Beast Boy returned the smile. "But why is Star tired and you're not?"

Valere put on another one of his evil grins. "That's for me to know and for you to find out, but unlike fair maiden here, I actually do know why." With that said, he let out a laugh.

A few hours later, everyone, except Valere and Raven, had gone to sleep. Valere was reading the files that Robin had given him and Raven was reading a book from her vast collection. He noticed she was falling asleep.

"Maybe you should go to bed." He suggested.

She shook her head. "No. I'm fine."

An hour or so later, he looked over to find she was asleep. 'She fell asleep in my presence again… well, at lest she didn't fall asleep in my arms again.' He laughed at the thought. 'Just like home.' He put his book down and carried her back to her room.
