The lights to the Titan's Tower slowly blinked back on thanks to mechanical genius of, Cyborg. "There, that outta do it!" Cyborg said and clapped his hands together, as the kitchen light lit up the room.
"Sooo, before you guys say anything,this was so not my fault!" Beast Boy said guiltily. Starfire looked around the room. "Friends! Is everyone alright? Are we to assume that an evil super-villain was behind the disappearance of the lighting?" She flew to Cyborg, then to Beast Boy, and then to Robin, just to make sure no one had gotten hurt in the couple of seconds the power had gone out.
Robin glanced down at Starfire who was now inspecting him around his utility belt, causing snickers to come from Cyborg and Beast Boy. Gently he grabbed her hands and pulled her up to his level. "Starfire, I'm fine…" He said, as a blush crept onto his cheeks. "And no, I don't think any villain is behind our faulty lighting." He gave one of his trademark smiles to Starfire and began to quickly exit the room.
"Friend Robin?" Starfire said in a curious voice. Robin cringed, knowing what was coming next. "What was it that you wished to tell me before the light of the kitchen disrupted you?" Robin kept on walking. As he reached the door, he called over his shoulder, "I'll tell you later Star, I've got to go check on something!" The door made a swooshing sound behind him and life in the tower began to return to normal.
"I BET IT WAS THAT TOFU CRAP OF YOURS THAT SHORT CIRCUTED OUR POWER!" "WHAT? MY TOFU? MY AMAZING TOFU DID NOT BLOW THE POWER! IT WAS YOUR DISCUSTING MEAT!"
Starfire sat down at the kitchen table watching the usual morning battle unfold. Normally she would try to stop it, but now, she had other things on her mind. It had been almost a year since she had come to Earth, and though many earthly ways, and words, for that matter, still seemed strange to her, she was far from stupid. She knew what Robin was going to say. She knew that he was going to pledge his love for her. And for the longest time now, she knew she loved Robin. But she also felt that it was his choice--his choice to love her; his choice to decide if it was too dangerous to declare his love to a member of his team.
She sighed. Maybe he would never say it and she'd have to go on feeling miserable just being his friend. 'Friend Robin—X'HAL! He'll be FRIEND ROBIN until I've gone to the embrace of X'hal! If only the lights had not interrupted him…' Then something clicked in her head. She slowly looked around and thought aloud to herself.
"Where is friend Raven?"
