Well, after weeks of being constantly busy (and having writer's block) I finally found the time to wrap this story up! Yes, this is the end. I hope you all enjoyed it while it lasted. And I apologize for not updating sooner, but I do have to thank you for your patience. Here you go, enjoy.

AR:

Insanity 101: Yes I know, I kind of slipped in some Star Wars into that… And I'm glad you were actually able to tolerate the StarfireRobin mushy love stuff. Since you're a "hard core RavenRobin fan" I'm sure you'll enjoy this last chapter.

starandrobforever: Why thank you! ….And with the 'hands faintly glowing' thing, it was kind of a way to show that she was going and how after being a light to the Titans for so many years, her light was glowing dim and leaving. I'm not sure too many people got that though…

The ShapeShifting Chick: Yes, I did kill off Starfire… lol and I'm sure I reminded a lot of people of Star Wars. (smiles) I'm glad you found it interesting.

Emmery: Yes (sobs) so sad! Poor Starfire! Well at least she's in a better place….

dlsky: Yes, I know I'm not such a good author, I make tons of spelling mistakes (I'm terrible at spelling as you've probably already noticed), my paragraphs are all messed up, and I'm still learning. However, with Blackfire's power of electricity, if you read chapter 16, it tells you how she got those new powers. Also, I'm sorry if the whole Star Wars mumbo-jumbo stuff got a little out of hand. I do admit that I should have switched up the whole 'father-son' scene. It came out a little too melodramatic. Actually, I thank you for mentioning all those mistakes. Few authors have actually pointed those errors out to me. And I'm glad you enjoyed the story despite my errors.

sliver tear: (smiles) thank you! So you're a robinxraven fan, huh? There seam to be a lot of those around lately. In that case, you might just find this last chapter enjoyable. You like the title? Wow, you're the first person so far who commented on it! Thanks!

- Please don't forget to leave a review and tell me what you thought of the story. Thank you. :D

Mending

(eleven years later)

The rain patted down on the windowsill. Thunder roared and pounded the earth as lightning lit up the sky outside. The room was dimly lit and a desk was placed next to the window that took up half of the room. Across from it stood a bookcase and a closet. Apparently, it appeared to be an office of some kind.

Robin sat silently at his desk, listening… waiting… thinking…. He allowed his fingers to tap softly on the desk as he thought about what to write. A blank piece of paper stood waiting before him. It was time that he wrote down his experiences and perhaps become an author. Robin was not wearing his normal suit and mask, in fact, he looked perfectly normal. He had on a pair of black pants, a blue shirt, and a dark blue tie. Robin, as well as the other Titans, were still a team. They still fought evil, foiled villainous schemes, and protected the citizens, but now, they all had jobs, and some, even families. Beast Boy worked at an animal shelter, Raven worked as a movie critic and librarian, Cyborg became a mechanic, and Robin became a Martial Arts instructor and an author.

The wind blew against the window, causing the shutters to tap against the screen. Robin remained in a state of consciousness. He didn't even move when thunder struck and a loud crack came as the room vibrated. After a moment or two, his eyes shifted upwards and something caught his attention. It was a photograph hidden between the pages of a book. He carefully lifted the book and opened it, flipping its pages to where the picture was held. Then, finally, he came to it.

It was a picture of him with another young lady. He was wearing a black and white suit with a red bow tie, and the girl was wearing a beautiful lilac dress. She had long flowing auburn reddish hair and emerald green eyes. They were standing next to each other, his arm around her. Robin sighed as a whisper passed through his lips. "…Starfire….." He lifted his hand and gently allowed his fingers to touch the photograph, as if he was stroking her hair. "…has it really been this long?" He allowed a small smile to filter across his face.

Just then, two children came running in through the door, a boy and a girl. "Daddy, Daddy!"

Robin turned around in his chair and smiled. "James! Rosaline! Come here you two!"

The two children, both around six years of age, came and jumped into their father's arms. James had blue eyes and dark black hair like his father and Rosaline had violet eyes and black hair with a tint of purple like her mother. They had just arrived home from their first day of school so they were still in their uniforms. Rosaline had on a skirt with a black sweater, while James had on a pair of navy blue paints and a light blue polo shirt.

As Robin embraced them in his loving arms, a lady came and stood at the doorpost, a small smile upon her face. It was Raven. Instead of wearing a cloak, she had on a pair of black jeans and a violet tank top. She looked down at the two children with a smirk. "I see you two found your way into your father's new home office…." Rosaline and James looked up at their mother and smiled sheepishly. Raven put her hands on her hips and leaned against the door. "Run along now... Dinner is on the table."

"Yes mother." They replied simultaneously. Then they jumped down from their father's lap and ran out through the door.

Robin sighed. "Well those two seam to be full of energy…."

"Yes," Raven smiled. "They must have gotten that from you."

They laughed together as Raven came closer. "So what are you working on?" She let her hand tough Robin's shoulder.

"A story…" Robin turned away, letting Raven see the picture of Starfire. "Of what happened to her…."

"Ah…. Now that's a good one." Raven turned around and started to head towards the door. "You know…. Sometimes you can keep someone alive by writing about them….. ….If you know what I mean…" Raven walked out through the door and called out from the hallway. "Just down stay here too long dinner is getting cold."

"…I won't…" Robin turned around in his chair and looked down at the blank sheet of paper. It was good that he moved on in his life and got married. It is what Starfire would have wanted for him. Robin studied the blank sheet of paper for a while, glancing back at the photograph of Starfire every once and a while. Then finally, he picked up a pen and brought it to the paper, pressing down gently and letting his hand move slightly, creating fine strokes of black ink. Then he lifted his hand up and put the cap back on the pen. "There!" On it read, 'The Rising Fire and the Setting Star'. Robin smiled, then carefully lifted himself up off the chair and slowly walked over to the door. He glanced back in the room as he turned off the lights. "Now, Starfire, you shall truly live on forever…" Then he gradually walked away and made his way into the dining room.

On his desk laid the photograph of Starfire. In it, she appeared to have on a different expression than before, one of happiness and contentment. The rain started to stop and the thunder died down. This is where the story ends… for now…. But sometimes, what appears to be the end is only the beginning….

(.:THE END:.)

And that's it! It's all over! Now I can actually breathe! (takes in deep breaths) Sorry the last chapter was a tad bit on the short side. I didn't want it to be too long either. Well…. It was fun while it lasted. I hope all of you enjoyed it. R&R. Carry on and good day.
