Summary: Starfire leaves the Titans, reason unknown, without any sort of goodbye. Eleven years later, the Titans go on a mission and end up finding an unconscious woman and her daughter, Moonfire. They have no choice but to take her back to the tower to help her recover from her injuries. What past might this woman hold? Is it true she could be the long lost Titan?
Disclaimer: The Teen Titans do not belong to me sniffsniff. Starfire and Robin belong to each other.
I changed my penname cuz I'm cool like that…yay. Umm…I didn't get any reviews so I'm hoping if I post another chapter I'll get more reviews. I love you all.
Searching for you
"Team, we've got one Titan missing and no explanation," Robin stated, hands placed firmly upon their proclaimed "mission table".
"Where could she have gone? She wouldn't have gone back to Tamaran without telling us first," Beast Boy pondered. If it were possible for Beast Boy to ponder, at least. "Would she?"
"No she wouldn't," Robin mumbled, collapsing into his chair. "Why would she leave us so suddenly?"
"I don't know, but if and when we find her, we'll get the story from her," Raven responded, leaning back in her chair. Her feet were resting upon the table, arms crossed over her chest.
"Feet off the table, Raven," Cyborg ordered. "I just cleaned it.."
Raven sighed before pulling her feet down but keeping her arms crossed. There was static from the screen behind them.
"Everything ok, Titans?" Bumblebee's voice came over the static. Th screen adjusted itself and Bumblebee's solemn face appeared. "I heard your SOS."
"Starfire's gone missing," Robin replied, sighing and placing his head in his hands. "Why would she leave us, especially without a goodbye?"
"What are we going to do?" Beast Boy asked, a frown crossing his face.
"I'll tell you what we're not going to do. We're not going to sit around, moping, until she gets back," Raven replied fiercely. Everyone stared at her in shock.
"She's probably the only person in the world who I have told my whole life story to. I'm not going to lose one of my friends."
"Have you tried her communicator?" Bumblebee asked, Aqualad, Speedy, and Mas Y Menos appearing behind her.
"Yea. It's been offline ever since she left. We have no way to track her if we can't get a lock on her communicator," Cyborg responded. Bumblebee tapped her chin in thought.
"Could she have gotten kidnapped?" Aqualad questioned, obviously just realizing what they were talking about.
"That's a slim possibility for a few reasons. We would've heard a break-in, seen a break-in, heard Starfire scream or shout, she can easily defend herself, there's a 99 chance they would've left a ransom note, and if they hadn't, they would've contacted us by now," Robin responded, ticking off the reasons on his fingers.
Bumblebee sighed. "You guys go out there and start looking for her. We'll be there as soon as we can and join you."
"Thanks Bee," Cyborg responded as the screen blinked and turned black.
"You heard her. Let's go look for Starfire," Beast Boy stated, rising from his seat.
"Titans, GO!"

Starfire awoke the next morning to a wonderful smell permeating the air. Flipping the covers off her body, she placed her feet on the cold wooden floor and began her way down the hall.
"Kori, dear girl!" Mrs. Sheehan called. She had told them her name was Kori, the first name that came to mind. Well, technically, that was her name.
"Yes Mrs. Sheehan?" she replied, placing her hands on the walls to steady her wobbling legs.
"Good, you are awake, dear!" she exclaimed when "Kori" entered the kitchen. "I cooked you, the Mr., and I some breakfast." She was holding a pan in one hand, shoveling around a few strips of bacon.
"I am most grateful for the thankfulness you have been showing me," she replied, smiling wide.
"Oh, no worries dear. Mr. Sheehan and I have been lonely ever since our children left. Feel free to stay as long as you want," she stated, returning the pan to the stove, but lowering the temperature.
"I only wish to stay here until I find a job, and will be able to find an apartment suitable for the amount of money I possess," Starfire explained, sitting at their quaint country table. "I wish to do some reading. Is there some sort of library nearby?"
"Yes. There's a library just down the street, then take a left into the center of town. The walk's only about ten minutes."
"Thank you," Starfire responded, eating up some of the food that Mrs. Sheehan had placed in front of her. "I shall visit this library after I eat my breakfast."
"Good idea, dear. You can get almost any book in that library. I've been going there for the past twenty years," Mrs. Sheehan declared.
Starfire nodded, not knowing what to say next.
"Kori?" she asked. Starfire lifted her gaze from her plate.
"Yes?"
"What about you? What about your past?" the elderly woman inquired. Starfire sighed. Mrs. Sheehan seemed not to get out much, or else she would've recognized her.
"It is a very long story. You would need all the time in the world to comprehend."
"Try me," the elderly woman responded, sitting in a chair next to Starfire's.
"Well, it all began on a planet named Tamaran…"

"Any luck?" Robin yelled into his communicator over the roar of his R-Cycle.
"No. She ain't in the South side of Jump City," Cyborg responded.
"Check again. That neighborhood is awful. It's full of thugs and villains," Robin responded, shutting his communicator and returning it to his belt. "I'm going to find you Star."
His communicator beeped again. He retrieved it from his utility belt, and the faces of Raven and Beast Boy appeared on the screen.
"We checked the North side. Nobody here remembers seeing a red-haired green-eyed teenager flying around in a skimpy purple outfit," Raven replied in her normal monotone voice.
"Hey Raven, what do you get when you cross a chicken and an idiot?" Beast Boy's voice floated over the communicator.
"Yourself?" Raven replied.
"Yea!" He paused for a minute. "Wait no! HEY!"
Robin peered at his communicator to see Raven had surrounded his head with a black bubble of energy.
"Now I don't have to listen to him. Why did you pair me with him anyways?" Raven asked.
"You two have to learn to work together. As far as I can tell, the worst of the team comes from the two of you fighting! Learn to get along," Robin responded, flipping his communicator off and returning it to his belt, yet again.
"That made about just as much sense as one of your jokes," Raven deadpanned, disposing of her communicator and beginning to search once more.
Robin revved his motorcycle and launched himself off the back of a car, landing up on the highway. He took a sharp turn and merged into traffic, searching left and right for any sign of the alien he loved.

"And, now, I am here," Starfire had just finished telling her story to a very awed Mrs. Sheehan.
"You mean, you are one of THE Teen Titans?" She gasped.
"I was," Starfire responded sadly. "I had to leave. I could not stay there knowing what I do now."
"You poor girl," Mrs. Sheehan replied, enveloping in her hug. "Stay here as long as you need to get your priorities straightened out."
"You will not tell anyone of my secret?" Starfire asked, lip trembling.
"I will take your secret to the grave."

Robin sighed as he screeched to a stop in front of a rather tall building.
"Robin calling Raven and Beast Boy. Robin calling Raven and Beast Boy. Do you read me?" he stated into his communicator.
The frowning faces of Beast Boy and Raven appeared on his communicator. They both shook their heads sadly.
"Robin calling Cyborg. Robin calling Cyborg. Do you read?" he stated.
Cyborg's half-metal face appeared on his communicator, slowly shaking his head.
Robin growled, watching as all three faces appeared on his screen. "Try harder, we ARE going to find her!" The communicator's screen went black.
"I'm searching for you, Star. I will find you." Robin sighed. "Even if it takes me the rest of my life."
