"Star? Come on, Starfire. Open up. Please?" It had been an hour since the dramatization of Batgirl's arrival, and Robin was worried. He knocked on her door again. There was no answer. "Star, come on, this is no fun." He knocked again, and still, no answer. He was really worried now. He put his ear to the door and heard a slight sob. He sighed and went passed the living room, up the stars, and on to the roof. He then took his grappling hook and slid down to Starfire's window.
The drapes were open. He looked in and saw the alien princess crying on her bed. She didn't notice the Boy Wonder hanging outside her window. Very slowly and very carefully, Robin opened her window. Then, he snuck in side, trying not to make a sound.
"Starfire."
The girl jumped at the sound of her name. She made eye contact with him and then turned away.
"Go away, please," she said.
"Star, look, I just want to talk." He took a step towards her. Starfire looked up at him. Her eye's were red and puffy and her nose was running. Robin sat down next to her after he grabbed a tissue. She took it and blew her nose.
"Now, tell me, what's wrong? Why have you been crying for an hour? And why were you so mean to Batgirl?"
At the sound of Batgirl's name, Starfire burst into tears once more. Robin began hastily apologizing. Starfire stood up and opened her door.
"Please leave."
"Starfire I –"
"Now!" she sobbed.
Robin stood up and walked out. Then he turned around for another attempt, when the door swooshed closed. He slowly went out to the living room, staring at his feet.
