A/N: I'm on vacation for a week as of tomorrow, so possibly no updates.. Maybe. If you're lucky.
Disclaimer: If Teen Titans was mine, Cyborg would know when NOT to interrupt when two people are trying to have an intimate moment! (i.e Spellbound, Nevermore, Stranded, Final Exam, etc.)

"Where exactly is the hold-up?" Cyborg asked Nightwing, T-Car at top speed, as he raced through the smaller streets of Jump City.
Nightwing pulled a small round communicator from his utility belt. "Barnic National, up on Surrey Street. Seems to be some immediate connection to Whirlwind. I guess they were planning a series of robberies in succession. We'll need to figure out where the third will be after we get home."
Cyborg skidded to a halt in front of a bank. People were running from it screaming. One of the windows turned black before bursting, alerting them to Raven's presence.
"Titans, go!" Nightwing yelled, getting out of the car in a speed that seemed faster than humanly possible. All three were appalled when inside to see that Kori, AKA Starfire, whichever you prefer, was there as well. And she was opening quite the can of ass whoop on whichever small-town villain it was that was trying to hold up this big-city bank.
Moonfire's jaw fell. "Goo mom!" she whooped, pumping her fist in the air and gaining flight.
Starfire pinned down the adversary with ease, as he was struggling under her terribly strong grip. Quite surprised to see her daughter there, the villain took this as his chance and escaped her lightened grip.
"Raven, Beast Boy," Starfire called, signaling to them in a sort-of secret code. They both nodded in understanding. Raven sped to the door, standing in front of it and forming a large black mass that seemed to be in the shape of a square. When he skidded to a halt and turned abruptly, he ran into the stomach of a fully-grown green grizzly.
Terrified, he backed up a few steps. For fun, Beast Boy roared as ferociously as he could. He was surprised the villain who called himself Tornado didn't wet his pants. Raven signaled it was over when she had successfully bound the villain in ropes. The police arrived only a matter of moments later.
"Good job, Star," Nightwing said, punching her arm lightly. She was about to punch back when he shrugged away.
"Why do you flinch?" she asked innocently.
"Umm…I know firsthand of your strength. Not that I'm not proud of it, but it hurts," he responded quietly.
"Oh," was all she said. Moonfire flew up to her mom, ecstatic.
"Mom, that was freaking AWESOME!" she squealed, hugging her mom tightly. Starfire smiled, hugging her daughter back. "X'hal, you are the COOLEST mom EVER!"
"Why thanks, Kimi," she responded, chuckling. "You're one cool daughter yourself."
"Mom, guess who I saw?" Kimi said, looking up at her mother.
"Who?"
"Danny! He came back from NYC!" her daughter screeched happily. Starfire smiled.
"Did he confess his love for you yet?" her mother teased her. Kimi smiled bashfully.
"I can't believe you would say that! He only likes me as a friend, I'm sure," Moonfire responded. Starfire bent down.
"I always thought Nightwing only saw me as a friend, until one day we both confessed our love for each other. It never hurts to try on Danny. I promise you won't be disappointed." Starfire whispered in her daughter's ear. The girl smiled gratefully.
"OH MY GOD!" someone squealed from nearby. It was a…TV reporter? "Is it true that the long-lost Titan, Starfire, has finally rejoined the Titans?" she asked, bustling over to them, a broad smile on her overly-made up face.
Starfire smiled sweetly into the camera. "Consider this an indefinite reinstatement of my position on the Titans."
And she said no more before Nightwing was dragging her and Moonfire away. "We have to get back to the tower," he whispered. "We're guessing there'll be another robbery in Jump City by a comrade of Whirlwind and Tornado. We have to find out where and when it's going to be."
"How?" Moonfire asked curiously.
"Patterns, m'dear. Patterns are key," Beast Boy interjected. He transformed into a hawk before flying off. Raven began levitating and followed him. The four remaining clambered into the car once more and soon Nightwing began to drive off. Starfire, next to him in the passenger's seat, leaned back and crossing her legs. Cyborg look unhappy at the thought of giving up his baby to another man.
It wasn't long on the road until Moonfire's cell phone went off. She giggled feverishly when she looked at the LCD screen, and calmly flipped it open.
"What's up, D-dog?" she asked, trying hard to stifle her giggles. Her mother rolled her eyes.
"That's her boyfriend, Danny," she explained.
"We've met," both Nightwing and Cyborg chimed in.
"It's a long story. I'd rather tell you in person." Pause. "Sure."
Another pause, a sweet smile. "Moooom!" Moonfire called.
"She wants something," Starfire murmured. Moonfire looked stricken.
"Just because I say you're the best mom ever and I really really love you means that I want something?" Moonfire asked, poking out her bottom lip and quivering it ever so slightly.
"Yes," Starfire replied simply.
Moonfire groaned. "Fine. Do you think Danny could come hang out at Titans' Tower so I can explain to him why there were two superheroes in my house today?"
"It's not up to me," Starfire told her daughter. "It's not my home."
"But it was!" Moonfire whined.
"And I was hoping it could be so again," Nightwing whispered, reaching over and clasping her hand in his.
"You want-?"
"Yea. I was going to wait to ask you, but-well-"
Starfire smiled as he stroked her hand with the pad of his thumb.
"Umm…mom, can you stop making kissy-faces with Nightwing and please give me an answer?" Moonfire asked politely. Starfire scowled at her daughter.
"What do you say, Nightwing? Can her little boyfriend come over?" Starfire asked.
"Sure," Nightwing responded. "For all you know, he could help us track down Whirlwind's next attack."
Moonfire squealed. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She returned her phone to her ear. "You can come! Yea!" Pause. "I'll see you in five!"
"You have always been such a softy," Starfire whispered as they pulled into Titans' Tower.
"And who can you blame for that?" he asked. "A certain red-headed Tamaranian."
"And proud of it."
Moonfire jumped out of the T-Car and quickly retrieved her and her mother's bags. The four walked up to the living room, where Raven and Beast Boy were situated, watching Wicked Scary.
"Still?" Nightwing asked, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, this is some top quality stuff!" Beast Boy retorted, jabbing a finger towards the screen.
"Top quality for you to make out to," Nightwing mumbled. "Anyways, pause it for a second."
Raven did as she was told. "Let's look at the facts, dude," Cyborg started. "There was a robbery at one by whirlwind. A robbery at three by a close adversary."
"I would assume the next one where to be at five," Starfire chimed in.
"But where?" Raven asked of the five in front of her, angrily tearing her white cape from an out-sticking nail in the coffee table.
"Obviously another bank somewhere in the city," Moonfire cut in. "But-wait-give me the names of the banks they've robbed recently."
"Anara Bank and Barnic National. Why?" Beast Boy asked.
"Don't you see? That's his pattern!" Moonfire exclaimed. She walked around the couch and sat in front of the computer, logging onto the internet.
The five Titans looked at her strangely, watching as she surfed the sites and found a search engine. 'Banks in Jump City' was what she typed in.
After a few seconds, a triumphant "Aha!" escaped her lips.
"He's going to rob the Chase bank up on True Street," she stated simply, before smiling broadly. "It's a gift."
"How did you…?" Starfire asked of her daughter.
"Alphabetical. That was their pattern," Beast Boy stated, beginning to fit the pieces together. "But there's more than one "C" named bank in Jump City."
"Exactly. They wanted you to guess what bank it would be, but left another clue. The last letter of every word is in the alphabet ordered as one, three, five, et cetera. All odd numbers. So Anara begins with a, the first letter and a the first odd number. Barnic National begins with B, the second letter and ends with C, the second prime number. Chase begins with C, the third letter and E, the third prime number. It's just simple logic," Moonfire explained, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
"Now that is one smart kid," Cyborg whispered to Starfire.
Starfire beamed. "She is quite bright, is she not?"
Suddenly, an alarm went off. Cyborg checked over the computer in his arm. "Intruder on the grounds."
Beast Boy and Raven tensed. "Who?" they both asked.
"You weren't in the car. Moonfire has a friend coming over. We kind of met him when we went to go grab their stuff," Cyborg elucidated.
Moonfire looked purely excited. "I'll be right back." Quickly jogging from the room, it was only mere seconds before she was back with a bashful smile on her face. "Umm…where's the front door?"
"Go down the hall and take the elevator to the first floor. It'll be right in front of you. Open code is 062591," Nightwing told her.
She smiled. "Thanks." In no less than three minutes, and after they had all heard quite the loud squeal (which they still weren't sure if it was Moonfire or not) she was back with the blonde boy in tow.
"Hi Miss Anders!" Danny greeted her with a wave. Starfire smiled warmly.
"Hello Danny. How's your mother?"
"She's fine. Her fever's going down, so she's doing better," Danny responded politely.
"That's great." Moonfire smiled.
"Wow," he breathed. "I am standing in front of the original Teen Titans. Scary, yet a dream come true."
All the Titans only stared at him quizzically.
"I mean, who would've guessed my best friend's mother is the original Starfire? I always kind of knew it, I mean, I have one of the original pictures of the Teen Titans and I always knew she looked like her, but it's still pretty cool."
Moonfire leaned over and whispered into Danny's ear. She chuckled as his face turned red.
"Do I want to know?" Starfire asked.
"No," the pair responded.
"If you don't mind, we're going back to our movie," Raven announced, taking Beast Boy's hand and leading him to the couch.
"Hey Star, want to go-er-talk?" he asked awkwardly, the seventeen in him peaking out.
Starfire smiled. "I'd love to."
"Roof?"
"You know me better than ever," she responded, giggling and taking his hand. Moonfire rolled her eyes.
"My mom is so gaga for Nightwing."
"It was worse growing up with them, believe me," Cyborg announced. "Anyways, I'm off for my daily call to Bee. Call me up around 4:30 to go stomp whatever villain we have coming next." And he walked out of the living room.
"Wanna go explore?" Kimi asked the blue-eyed boy in front of her. He smiled and nodded in response. They, too, walked from the living room in silence.
"I-well-I know this may seem a little awkward bringing it up now, but there's something you should know."
Moonfire braced herself. Would this be what she was waiting for over the past two years?
"I-I have superpowers."
Or not.
