Thank you reviewers. This chapter is dedicated to Darklight989 (Who is so awesome, ecspecially when I accidentally spelled her name wrong) :Curses typos: for being my Three hundredth reviewer!

Her eyes softened immensely, the plus side was that she hadn't killed me yet. I shifted so that I stood on my knees in front of her and grabbed her hands in mine, kissing the tender skin of her bare knuckles.

"Please come home…with me." She gave me a hardened look and pulled away, my words seemingly foreign to her. It broke my heart all over again as I moved my eyes to the powdered covered floor.

"Is there nothing I can do to change your mind Star?" I asked standing up on my feet and raising my exposed eyes to meet hers. She crossed her arms over her chest, having the cape still wrapped around her naked frame. She sighed, and for the first time in a long time, I could sense one of our familiar talks coming along.

"If I go back, you are just going to leave me again, one day, when things become too estranged and we all change and go our separate ways, I'll be left alone." She was afraid of being alone? It was a hard concept to grasp, true, but she didn't want to have to go through I the pain involved, it was understandable.

"I swear to you I won't ever leave you." It sounded even odd to me. I wasn't exactly someone to get so emotionally attached. She gave a frustrated cry and backed further away from me.

"You will leave me! It is only a matter of time until Bruce wishes you back!" I felt my anger rise as I walked forward and pushed her up against the wall in a swift, fluid motion. She squeaked at our sudden closeness. With angry venom in my voice I glared down at her.

"I won't go back!" suddenly my eyes softened and my voice lowered. "I won't." I pushed away from the wall and turned my back to her.

"There's nothing for me there, at least if I stayed here I'd have you." It wasn't something I had said to be romantic, this was hardly the time. I felt tears well up in my eyes, but I pushed them away as fast as they had come.

"How do I know this is not some form of trickery, that the moment we return to the tower you are not going to leave again without even so much as a goodbye?" I turned around slowly.

"I…I…" I was at loss for words. I could promise and promise but knew promises could still be broken. I breathed in deeply, my shoulders slump, my back arched. I fumbled with words.

"I…don't know."

"And this was your great strategy boy wonder?" she mocked, taking a glance out of the window. I didn't follow her gaze; I saw no point in it. I did however shift uncomfortably.

"I'm in love with you Star, and if you don't believe me on that then I don't know what to say to you." I hesitantly walked away and shook my head.

"I…I'm going to have to call the police on you ya know, you're a wanted criminal." I stated sadly stopping at the entrance. I heard her sigh.

"And what of Red-X?" she asked softly, her angelic voice moving through the air. I took a minute to ponder the question.

"He's off to prison, I caught him earlier, and no, don't worry, he wasn't the one that told me where you were." I gave her one more glance and frowned.

"Goodbye Starfire, I'm sorry this is how things have to be." I left the infirmary and called the police, making sure to replace my mask before I left. I knew that Star would probably not stay around much longer, and I figured that they could handle her for a while. I headed back to the tower, a frown on my lips and a pain in my chest.

I had lost her forever.

I reached the little Island and walked trough the front door. I looked around and noticed no one was home yet, and that I had the whole place to myself. I threw off my mask. No sense in wearing it now, and headed to my room. I walked through the hallway and stopped at my door. I sighed as I opened it and walked in.

I stopped suddenly.

"Hi Robin…"

I nearly jumped back out into the hallway.

"Sta…Star?" she nodded grimly, rolled up in blankets probably from off my bed. Her hair was in tangles, and visible traces of power were evident on her face. I leaned up against the door frame to hold my balance, as she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Tell me that you will never leave me again…" she whispered, tightening the sheets around her body. I shook the dirty thoughts that came to my mind away and blink a few times.

"I…I wont ever leave you." I tried my best to emphasize the 'ever' hoping to prove my point. She smiled at this and hopped fervently off of my bed. She ran over to me, her bare feet making slight sounds on my wooden floor.

"Starfire, I am so sorry." I breathed as she threw her arms around me. It felt almost too good to be true to have her in my arms again. There she was, the perfect alien princess I had fallen completely head over heels for. She whispered a few 'I know's' and 'I'm sorry as well's' it was a picture perfect moment. She was back, and she was back with me.

I wasted little time making up for the days I had been gone. I pressed our lips together and softly pushed her to the wall behind her. She didn't object so I went further, giving in to all ecstasy and passion. I had missed her way more than I had thought. I quickly threw off the blankets, my lips never once removing from hers. I led her to the bed, where we stayed the rest of the night.

I don't know if the other titans had even come home. I was too busy to notice you see. It didn't matter anyways, whatever they had to say about the situation I had got us all in could wait until the morning, right now, was our time. Our time to simply be there, together, mangled in sheets and covered in sweat. Whatever it was that had tore us apart was now sewn back together, it was an instant realization.

I really wasn't going to be able to leave her ever again.

"Richard?" I looked down at her beautiful face and smiled.

"Yeah?" She put her head on my bare chest and sighed.

"I am so sorry for everything I did; I am a criminal now aren't I?" I pulled her closer, relishing the feel of her so close to me again. I gave her a solemn look and kissed the crown of her hair.

"No…you're not, we all make mistakes." I replied as she scooted closer. I ran my fingers through her hair and looked up at the ceiling.

"Lord knows I've made my far share, and then some…" I trailed, grinning at the uncountable mistakes I've made. It didn't matter about them any more, they were all in the past, and I had faced the consequences.

"I'm sorry Star…so sorry for leaving you." She patted my chest sweetly and smiled.

"No, I'm sorry for not believing in you." I silenced any further conversations with a simple kiss. We continued to just lay there, happy, and not a worry between us.

I've been planning this for a while, and so I hope it worked. Ne'ways Tomorrow I get to see all THE END EPISODES! I've never been this lucky. Thank you so much for everything!
