Chapter 8: Shocking Evidence

The next day, it's yet another peaceful time in Titans Tower. Starfire, Raven, Terra, and Nightfire were at the mall shopping for girls' stuff. Beast Boy was with them because he lost a bet against Nightfire on Tekken 5. If Beast Boy won the bet he would take Nightfire to anywhere he wants, if Nightfire wins Beast Boy would become her personal slave for a day. Well, it all ended real bad for Beast Boy as he lost five rounds. Robin was in the living room, looking for information on Johnny Rancid in the Titan Mainframe and still thinking about Starfire saying that she loves him. And Cyborg was in his room looking through all the videos he recorded about Nightfire's techniques from both the combat arena and the obstacle course. Looking at her moves looked strangely familiar and Cyborg knows where it all came from. He then heard a knock at his door, so he left the recording on pause and headed to the door. When the automatic door slid open, he saw LM outside his room.

Cyborg: "Sup LM? What are you doing here?"

LM: "Just need to borrow some equipment from you. If you don't mind."

Cyborg: "Sure, why not. Come in."

LM entered the room and searched for a few devices for his experiments.

Cyborg: "Still searching for Nightfire's family connections?"

LM: "You could say that. All these weeks I've been gathering up samples from blood, hair, fingerprints, I even got sweat from the punching bag Nightfire always use at the gym."

Cyborg: "That's gross man. Did you find anything about them?"

LM: "All I know so far is that she has both strands of human and Tamaranean DNA. Since her eyes are blue and she talks like a human, unlike Starfire's native tongue, she seems more adapted to Earth then Tamaran. But ask for the family connection, I don't have a clue. So I need to borrow some of your equipment get more information through the samples, since my equipment isn't enough. What about you? You got anything about her fighting style."

Cyborg: "See for yourself."

LM approached the computer council Cyborg was on and looked through the screens. He watched Nightfire at combat practice fighting on the ground on one screen and flying and shooting star bolts in the other. A few more screens showed Nightfire fighting off criminals with the combination of both. LM continued staring at them, and didn't know what's going on.

LM: "So, what am I looking at?"

Cyborg then typed a few keys on his keyboard and two pop up video windows appeared below Nightfire's combat. The two videos showed both Robin and Starfire doing the same type of technique as Nightfire.

LM: "O.K., do you have an explanation for this Cy?"

Cyborg: "Yes, I do have an explanation. As you can see, Nightfire's fighting style is exactly the same as Rob's and Star's technique."

LM: "You mean that she was taught by the same teacher's as our friends."

Cyborg: "Well it's possible. I mean Night's been taught by Chui-Hui, you know, "The True Master". But the rest seems like a complete blur to me."

Cyborg looked up and notices LM with a concerned face.

Cyborg: "Hey LM, something bothering you?"

LM snapped out of his trance and look at Cyborg.

LM: "Oh, it's nothing Cyborg? It's just that Robin's been a little up tight as of late since Nightfire showed up."

Cyborg: "You think Robin is obsessed with Nightfire now?"

LM: "Possibly. When Robin gets a lead on Slade, he never rests until he takes him down. But Nightfire is a whole different story. He thinks that she's keeping a secret and he wants us to help him. But I don't think a few samples and recorded training videos aren't going to cut it."

Cyborg: "Well then if you were Robin, what will you do to find some secrets?"

LM pondered about it for a minute and had a smirk on his face.

LM: "I go right to the source."

A few minutes later, both LM and Cyborg were in the hallway just outside a specific room, Nightfire's room.

Cyborg: "No way, no how! You are not making me go in there!"

LM: "C'mon Cy, were just going to go in her room, look around for clues in five minutes, and head back out. Simple as that."

Cyborg: "Well then, why don't you go in her room and I'll stay right here?"

LM: "Geez, what crawled up you metal leg and died Cy? This isn't you."

Cyborg: "Look, I know that you like to be sneaky and searching through a room. But the last time I went into someone's room, me and BB were sucked into Raven's mirror and was in her head for sometime."

LM: "Uh-huh. Well this time it's going to be different. The girls are all at the mall doing who knows what for don't know how long and the only people here are the two of us and Robin. I say this is the opportunity we need to get some dirt on Nightfire. Besides, do you want Robin to drive us up a wall?"

Cyborg: "I guess not."

LM: "Then let's get in there and get this over with!"

Cyborg gave out a quiet sigh and entered Nightfire's room with LM. They looked around and saw a few luggage's opened up and was half filled with clothes, the rest of the clothes were hung in the closet, a half made bed, a vanity filled with make up and lotions, and a mess of DVD's, CD's, and a portable I-POD.

Cyborg: "And I thought Beast Boy's room was a mess."

LM: "All right, let's get this started."

They then split up and search the room from top to bottom.

Cyborg: "Exactly, what are we looking for?"

LM: "Something that can tell us about Night's parents."

Cyborg: "And by the way this room looks, it's going to take us a lot longer then I thought."

Cyborg then proceeded to the work desk when he spotted Nightfire's dark blue diary. He quickly flipped through the pages and looked through the last entry.

Dear Diary,

I was lucky with Robin. I thought he was going to kill me after what I did to Adonis, but instead he left me a warning. That warning was not to kill anyone, not even Johnny Rancid. I think I'll handle it but there's something that's been bothering me as of late. Apparently Robin has been a little uncertain about me. Thinking there's something in me that's not right. He's been keeping an eye on me for some time, acting sort of weird. Even Cyborg and LM are doing the same thing. Like two days ago, when I was finished drinking my juice and put it in the dishwasher, LM came out of nowhere and grabbed my cup. I asked him what he was doing and he said that the dishwasher was broken and he'll clean it in the bathroom. The weirdest part is that the dishwasher was working fine when I had breakfast. Pretty weird. I think they're trying to get close to my secret and I don't blame them. It's been weeks since I arrived and I don't think I can lie to them any longer. I don't care what my mom said anymore, whether I like it or not I have to tell them the truth. But a secret's a secret so I have to keep my mouth shut. And the sooner we find Johnny and put him out of his misery, the better.

Nightfire

After scanning the entry on the diary, Cyborg understands what it all meant.

Cyborg: "Hey LM, you gotta take a look at-"

When Cyborg turned around to look at LM but found something disturbing. What he saw was LM looking through the panty dware grabbing anything he sees. Cyborg jaw was dropped big time and then got pissed at what he saw. He quickly approached LM and tap on his shoulder to make him look and Cy.

Cyborg: "What are you doing?"

LM: "Oh uh… I'm just checking for stain samples in the dwares. You may never know if there's something important."

Cyborg: "Oh really? Looks like a simple panty raid to me."

LM: "Yeah… I uh… Come on Cy, I'm a lonely man. I can't help it."

Cyborg: "Dude, this is not Room Raiders. If Nightfire sees you carrying her panties, she's going to lose it. Put them back now!"

LM: "Cyborg, did you ever had the chance at looking at some girl's panties up close?"

Cyborg: "I don't want to talk about it. Stop groping them, put them back, and let's get out of here."

LM: "Just five more minutes man, keep searching and I'll be done with this soon."

Cyborg: "O.K., that does it. I didn't want to do this but-"

Quickly he grabbed the panties from LM's filthy hands but LM pulled them back. Soon they were in a fight in a cloud smoke, going around a room.

LM: "What are you doing?"

Cyborg: "Let go of the panties before Nightfire sees you!"

LM: "You're ripping the fabric apart!"

Cyborg: "I'll rip you apart if you don't let go!"

They continued fighting when they hit the nightstand by accident. Something then fall off the top and landed on the floor. The two then did a tug a war on the ground pulling the panties to the limit. They then stopped as they hear the sound of dinging music. They then noticed a locket on the floor making that noise. Both LM and Cyborg let go of the panties and approached the locket. LM picked it up and observed the locket.

Cyborg: "What do you think it is?"

LM: "Looks like some kind of locket, must be Nightfire's."

After observing the locket on the outside, LM then opened it to see what's on the inside. Once he opened the locket his eyed were wide in shock.

LM: "Oh my god… Cyborg, you better take a look at this."

Cyborg took the locket from LM's hand and look at it. He too was surprised as LM.

Cyborg: "Is that who I think it is?"

LM: "Uh huh."

Cyborg: "And is that-"

LM: "That's her Cy. Needless to say, its all the proof we need. We better show this to Robin, he has to know."

Cyborg nodded as they exited Nightfire's room and headed to the living room.

In the main living room, Robin was at the Titan Mainframe, looking for any reports on Johnny. But most of the time, he was still thinking about what Starfire said, saying that she loves him. He then rubbed on the cheek that Starfire kissed and was thinking what would it feel like to kiss her in the lips. Suddenly, the sliding doors were opened and Cyborg and LM came into the living area.

Cyborg: "Robin, we found something! You better come and see this!"

They waited for Robin's response but they didn't here anything.

LM: "Uh Robin…"

Still silent.

LM: "Robin…"

Robin then turned around to look at his teammates and had a weird look on his face.

Robin: "She loves me."

Cyborg: "Excuse me."

Robin: "You hear me Cyborg, Starfire loves me. She emitted her feelings to me yesterday. She told me what she thought about me and then kissed me on the cheek. I never expect a kiss to be so warm before. It's so lovely…"

LM and Cyborg looked at each other knowing that this isn't the Robin they know.

Cyborg: "Uh Robin, are you O.K.?"

Robin: "I'm better then O.K., I think I'm in love."

LM: "Well it's nice that you and Starfire have finally settled your relationships and all, but I think we have some disturbing news for you."

Robin: "Can you wait for five more minutes, I'm still thinking about our future ahead for us."

LM gave off a desperate sigh and looked at Cyborg completely flabbergasted.

LM: "It's official, we lost Robin."

Cyborg: "Maybe not."

Cyborg then got close to Robin to ask him a question.

Cyborg: "All right Robin, what type of future are you going to have with Starfire?"

Robin: "Oh, I don't know. Maybe we can go steady, go out on a couple of dates, and when ever I'm ready or not, I'll propose to her."

Cyborg: "I see, so you two will get married and live together as husband and wife huh?"

Robin: "Yeah, and have a house of our own, and maybe some children."

Cybrog: "Right, well I hate to spoiler your fantasy but it's possible you will have one kid and it will be a girl. Too bad you're not going to be around with your daughter even after she's born or have a marriage with Star."

Robin snapped out of his trance when he heard what Cyborg said.

Robin: "What are you talking about?"

With the Boy Wonder snapping back to reality, LM walked to him with Nightfire's locket in his hand.

LM: "We were in Nightfire's room, trying to find some clues. When we found this."

LM put his hand into his trench coat pocket and took out Nightfire's locket. He then gave it to Robin as he looked at it.

Robin: "What's this?"

LM: "It's Nightfire's locket. Apparently there's more to Nightfire then meets the eyes."

Robin inspected the outside of the locket and saw the picture of Tamaran and the black bird with a blue N on top of it and the blue jewels around the picture. But when he opened it and saw the pictures, he was both surprised and confused.

Robin: "Is this some kind of sick joke?"

Cyborg: "It's no joke Robin, this is the real deal."

Robin continued looking at the locket and knew what it truly meant.

Robin: "Then it's settled; when Nightfire gets back we're going to have a real serious talk. You two are going to help me right?"

LM and Cyborg: "Yeah."

Later in the afternoon, the girls were back from their shopping experience from the mall. Starfire, Raven, Terra, and Nightfire entered the main entrance and proceeded to the elevator.

Terra: "Man, who would've thought that spending more time in the mall would've been more exciting."

Nightfire: "Yeah, good thing the mall had a 50 off on all items in all the stores. I hope you girls have enough closet space in your rooms."

Starfire: "Raven, it's so nice that you joined us in our hanging out in the mall of shopping. I thought you didn't like shopping with me."

Raven: "Actually, I still don't like it. The reason why I joined you, is because I want to see Beast Boy getting tortured."

The telepath looked Beast Boy was right behind the girls carrying all sorts of bags from Limited Too, Lady Foot Locker, Macy's, Sephora, Hot Topic, The Gap, and Nordstrom.

Beast Boy: "You know, you girls should help carry these things or something so that way I can feel my hands."

Nightfire: "Oh no BB, we made a bet that whoever wins Tekken 5 will go where ever they want and the loser would be his or her servant for one day."

Beast Boy: "Oh come on, you can't do this to me. At least carry one bag for me please!"

They all enter the elevator and headed up to the main living room.

Nightfire: "Sorry Beast Boy, but a bet's a bet. Oh and by the way, after you put the bags in our rooms you have to give me a massage at the rooftop."

Raven: "You mind if I can join you? I haven't had a good massage in a long time."

Nightfire: "Of course Rae, why not?"

Beast Boy: "What?"

Raven: "Oh and Beast Boy, if you don't do my massage the way the egg people on that alien planet did, I we'll send you to another dimension. A dimension where there are no video games, no comics, and no tofu."

Beast Boy: "Crap, Crap, DOUBLE CRAP!"

The elevator stopped as they made it to the main living room. They walk down the long hallway and entered the living room, where they saw Robin leaning on the back of the circular sofa and LM and Cyborg sitting around the table.

Starfire: "Friends, we're back from our joyous trip to the mall of shopping. Did you miss us so?"

Robin, Cyborg, and LM remained silent and they didn't look like they weren't happy to see them.

Starfire: "Friends?"

Nightfire: "Don't worry Star; they must be in deep thought for some reason. If you guys need me I'll be in my room."

Just as Nightfire was about to leave, Robin stopped her there.

Robin: "Don't go anywhere Nightfire; we're going to have a serious talk."

Nightfire: "What is it this time? If it's about the fight with Adonis, I told you already. I promise I won't kill anyone."

Robin: "It's not that Night; it's about you lying to us."

The girls and Beast Boy looked at Nightfire with confused looks on their faces.

Nightfire: "Lying? What do you mean?"

Robin: "Don't play dumb Nightfire! We know the truth!"

Night's eyes went a little wide at first, but regained composure as she was in deep thought.

Nightfire: "Ah shit! They know my secret! But how?"

Starfire didn't know what was going on so she approached Robin and asked him a question.

Starfire: "Robin, what do you mean she was lying to us?"

Robin: I don't know how to say this, but I'll say it as well as I could. Do you know that she talked about her parents being legendary heroes?

Starfire: "Yes I remember. Why?"

Robin: "I hate to say this but… We're Nightfire's parents."

Oh… There's a cliffhanger for you. On the next chapter, Nightfire will tell the truth and finally, we're going to have some insights about Johnny Rancid's whereabouts. Please Review.
