Chapter 6

"Starfire, my love, I've waited so many years to ask you this." He took a deep breath. "Starfire, Queen of Tamaran, will you marry me?"

"Yes, I will marry you!" Starfire said without a second thought. (A/N:LikeI would have it any other way.)Nightwing smiled and took something out of his pocket. It was a small box. He opened it to reveal a silver ring with a teal colored diamond in it.

"I already have a ring from you." Starfire said.

"I know, but this one is different." He took her sapphire ring off and placed the new one in its place. "This diamond represents our souls becoming one. That's why I chose this color. It's the color that you get when you mix blue and green together."

"The color of our eyes." Starfire said. Nightwing nodded and stood up again. Once he was up, he pulled Starfire into a hug.

"I love you Starfire."

"I love you Nightwing." Then they kissed again. After they had finished the kiss, Star laid her head on Nightwing's chest once again.

"This is the best day of my life. You came back to me and then asked me to marry you. Our friends have come to visit me as well." Starfire suddenly pushed away from Nightwing. "Oh, I've forgotten about our friends being here!"

"I think they'll understand." Nightwing smiled at her.

"Perhaps, but the feast will be starting soon." She gave him a sly smile. "Besides we'll have plenty of time to talk in private tonight." Nightwing laughed at her as she began to pull him back towards their friends.

Three hours later:

The former Teen Titans had finished the massive feast that Starfire's kitchen staff had prepared for them. Cyborg and Beast Boy were amazed at how the Tamaranens could prepare Earth foods like chicken, beef, and even tofu for Beast Boy. They were both stuffed. They allhad been reminiscing the whole night about events that had taken place while they were the powerhouse team. Everyone else that had been invited to the gathering had left a few minutes prior and one of Starfire's servants had taken Mina to her parent's room to sleep since she had fallen asleep in her mom's arms.

"I have an idea." Beast Boy said. "We should each take turns and fill in everybody on what has happened in their lives since we've last seen each other."

"Great idea BB!" Cyborg said. "So who'll go first?"

"We'll go." Beast Boy said as he put his arm around Raven. She just rolled her eyes at him.

(A/N: I might make all of these back stories into short stories sometime in the future to give a detailed account of what everyone did after they left the Titans. I know some are longer then others, like Raven and Beast Boy's story, but there are two Titans in that story. Okay, back to the stuff that actually matters.)

Beast Boy and Raven's Story

After the Titans had disbanded, both Raven and Beast Boy had continued to live at the Tower, since neither one of them really had the money to live on their own at the moment. Raven had decided to go back to Azareth, because she didn't think there was a reason to stay. When she told Beast Boy about her decision, he flipped out! He yelled at her about how this was her home, in the tower and with him. At that moment, Beast Boy embraced Raven, told her how much he loved her, and didn't want her to leave him. Raven had been shocked. She had been in love with Beast Boy for sometime and didn't think that he felt the same way about her. Raven then told him that she loved him too. They spent the passing moments kissing each other very passionately and then Raven felt herself being lead out of the Tower. Beast Boy had decided to they needed to go out a date to make it official. After a few months of dating, Raven found herself saying 'yes' to Beast Boy who was on one knee asking her to marry him. Three months had gone by since they had gotten married and they were living in an apartment in Jump City. Then they found out that Raven was pregnant. Beast Boy counted the days till the baby came, because Raven was intolerable most of the time. She would yell at him a lot more than normal and make him go get her food at all kinds of hours. The one thing that Beast Boy couldn't wait to end was Raven's lack of control. Raven at one time had pushed herself day and night to control her powers. She studied books and meditated most of the time. At other times, she would be found practicing with her powers in the training room. Right before the Titans had disbanded; Raven had succeeded in controlling her powers and started to show signs of emotions that were hidden inside her for so long. Now that she was pregnant, her hormones were so out of whackthat she lost control. Things would go flying about their apartment and sometimes things would blow up. When the baby finally came, they were both relieved that things would get back to normal. Well, as normal as their lives could get. They had been blessed with a beautiful baby girl named Mina. She had light green skin, a small patch of purple hair, and beautiful purple eyes. (A/N: I'm sure you can guess where Mina's features came from.) Starfire had come to visit them not too long after the baby was born. She had literally showered Raven with gifts that she had brought 'mall of shopping', because that's what she thought it meant when you showered someone with gifts. As time went by, Mina started to gain her father's powers, to which Raven was grateful. She would often change into small animals like bunnies, kittens, and puppies. At first, Mina had problems changing back to her human form, but her father worked with her on that and soon she had no problems. Beast Boy used to tell Mina stories of the Teen Titans and all the bad people they stopped. These stories made Mina curious about her mommy and daddy's friends, so she kept bugging them about when she would meet them.

"That just about brings us to now." Raven said.

"Oh, it was a glorious story! I wish to hear it again." Starfire said.

"Star, we should let someone else go next." Nightwing said as he smiled at her.

"Very well." She pouted.

"Okay Cy, it's your turn." Beast Boy said.

"Alright! Well after the Titans disbanded…" Cyborg began.

Cyborg's Story

When the Titans had decided to split, Cyborg really didn't have a clue as to what he was going to go now. He decided to join up with Titans East for a while. He had fun with them, but it wasn't the same. He missed Star's attempts at making food. He missed beating Beast Boy at every game they played.

Beast Boy interrupts. "No way dude! You didn't always beat me!"

Before Cyborg could respond Raven spoke. "Let Cyborg tell his story. That was rude to interrupt him."

"But Raven…"

"No buts. Besides he did always beat you." She smiled at him.

"You're supposed to take MY side!" Everyone was laughing at Beast Boy who had just folded his arms over his chest and sat back sulking in his chair.

Back to Cyborg's story: He missed how Raven always picked on Beast Boy, like she just did. Lastly, he missed training with Robin. They would always push each other to give more. They were his closest friends and nobody could replace them. After Beast Boy and Raven's wedding, Cy left Titans East and went freelance. He did fight a lot of badies, but he didn't consider them a challenge. Most only took a few hits and they were defeated. He wanted more action in his life. That's why he decided to call Beast Boy out of the blue. Then they came up with the plan to get the team back together. After talking for a few weeks, they came up with the idea for a trip to Tamaran. Cy knew that convincing Nightwingwould be the hardest part of the plan, but Cy had Speedy to help convince Nightwing. Speaking of Speedy, he wasn't the only member of Titans East that he had kept in touch with, Bumble Bee, since they had become some what of an item. She would have come with them to visit Star, but she had decided to stay and help Speedy out for a few days.

"That's that." Cyborg said. 'I really hope this works and we can get the team back together.' He thought to himself as he gave Beast Boy a thumbs up.

"Who's next?" Raven asked.

"Star, do you want to go next?" Nightwing asked.

"Sure, but it's not going to be very entertaining." Star said as she began her story.

Starfire's Story

Not much had happened since Starfire had become Queen of Tamaran. She was actually bored most of the time. There were always parties, banquets, ceremonies, or something else that Starfire's presence was required. They were always so boring and she often spaced out. The only exciting thing that happened was when the Gordanians had tried to kidnap some of the young Tamaranen children to do experiments on them. Starfire and members of her elite guard, X'hal's Hawks, had gone to fight them off. They had set a trap for the Gordanians when they got a tip of where the first kidnapping would take place. Starfire pretended to be a child asleep in her bed, with the lights off andblankets over her to cover her body. When they came to take the "child", the Hawks attacked the Gordanians as soon as they reached the bed. They had taken all eight Gordanians down and imprisoned them. That was it. Nothing else ever happened. She had also gone on peace missions to exotic worlds in hopes to gain alliances incase there ever was a war to break out. 'Oh please a war!' Star often thought. Though, nothing could compare to the thrills from fighting crime on Earth with her friends. The people of Tamaran had so much respect for their Queen. She was kind and just, but most of all they loved her because she did not believe she was better then anybody else even though she was queen. Starfire would often be seen walking around town, playing with the children, and conversing with many of her fellow Tamaranens. They also felt sorry for their Queen for she would often be seen on her balcony staring up at the heavens. Everyone had known about Nightwing, which was why none of her advisors sought out a prince for her to marry. Secretly, she had thought about stepping down from the throne and let another led. She did not believe she was right to rule over Tamaran, because she thought she was too soft to be a ruler. She kept these thoughts to herself, because she could never let anyone know that she doubted herself.

"And that's it." Starfire smiled at her friends. She then turned to Nightwing and began to speak before anybody could make a comment. "So who is watching Gotham while you are here?" Starfire asked.

"Speedy is. He's been helping me out as my partner for some time now." He explained. "He's actually going to be taking over as Batman permanently."

"What!" The others yelled.

"Is Bruce pissed off at you?" Cyborg asked.

"Well, let me tell you what happened after I called to tell you that I was going to come with you to visit Star."

Nightwing's Story

Dick Grayson stood in the entry way at Wayne manor at 12am. 'Still looks the same.' He thought to himself. 'Dark and dreary.'

"This way Master Grayson." Riley said to him as he motioned for him to follow. Riley had taken the hard to fill shoes of Alfred, who had passed away a few years prior. Riley was a man in his late forties and he was the son of one of Alfred closest friends. Before his death, Alfred was training him to be Bruce's butler and help out in the Bat Cave. The Bat Cave was still being used by Bruce to monitor the crime in Gotham and track how Dick was doing as Batman. Dick, though, was unaware that they were tracking him while he was on patrol. Dick followed the butler to a large living room complete with a fireplace. There he saw Bruce sitting on a couch in front of the fireplace.

"Dick, what brings you here at this time of night?" Bruce asked. Bruce was in his early seventies. His hair was completely white and his face was wrinkled, but underneath the wrinkles that stern look could be seen.

"I need to talk to you about something."

"And this something could not wait until the morning?"

"No, it's urgent."

"Well, what is it?"

"I'm going to visit Starfire on Tamaran for a few days. Speedy will be watching over Gotham while I am gone."

"Okay, I do not see why you have to go see that girl, but as long as you have Speedy covering your ass, I don't see a problem."

"I wasn't asking for permission, I was informing you of my plans. AND Starfire is not a girl; she is a woman, the woman that I love." Dick was getting angry.

"My mistake. Is there anything else?" Bruce said with a cocky attitude.

"Yes, there is." He took a deep breath in. "I am no longer going to be protecting Gotham City as Batman. I am going to return to Jump City as Nightwing."

Bruce looked at him furiously. "You are doing what!" Bruce stood up. "It's for this girl isn't it. You are going to give up your responsibilities as Batman to be with this girl!"

"She is not a girl! She is the woman that I love!" Dick found himself yelling now and held his fists in balls. "Yes, she is the reason that I am leaving. I promised her I would not be away for long, but I have. It's been seven years since I became Batman and now I want to start my own family. I just want to be Nightwing again. I just want to be with Starfire."

"Have I not taught you anything boy? I told you NEVER to get involved with anyone and see what happened! Love will not get you anywhere. Love holds you back." Bruce gave his a cold look. "You're a fool boy."

"NO! You are the fool old man. Alone in this house with no one, but your memories to keep you company. You've had so many chances to love someone, to be with someone else for the rest of your life, but you threw it all away." Dick looked Bruce into his eyes. "You threw it away for nothing!"

"I threw nothing away!" Bruce was yelling louder now. "I gave everything, EVERYTHING that I had in me to this city." He paused for a few moments. "If I had to change something about my past, it would be taking you in! You ungrateful bastard!"

"You are wrong once again tonight Bruce. I am grateful for what you have done for me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been part of the Teen Titans. I wouldn't have had such great friends. Most importantly, I would have never met Starfire." Dick had calmed down just a bit. "I just don't want to be your shadow anymore. I want to do my own thing."

They stood in silence for sometime until Dick broke it. "Speedy has agreed to stay on as Batman permanently. You can let him be Batman or you can find somebody else."

"Is that all?" Bruce asked. His tone of voice was still so cold.

"Yes."

"Then leave. Riley, please show Mr. Grayson out." Riley had walked into collect Dick from the room.

"Don't bother, I know my way out." Then Dick left without saying another word.

"And that's what happened." Nightwing explained.

"WOW!" Beast Boy and Cyborg said in unison. They're mouths were open wide in awe.

"I'm surprised you got out in one piece." Raven said as all the guys nodded in agreement.

Nightwing smiled as he turned towards Starfire, he saw that she looked sad and his smile was immediately gone.

"What's wrong Star?" Nightwing asked.

"It's my fault that Mr. Wayne and you are at odds with each other." She took in a deep breath. "You don't have to give up being Batman for me." Those words hurt her just to say them.

"It's not your fault Star." He said as he left her chin up to look into her eyes. "We are both stubborn and we fight all the time. I'm sure in time we'll talk again." He grinned at her. "But if you don't want me here, I will go."

"NO!" Starfire cried out. "Please, I could not take it if I had to say goodbye to you again." Tears were swelling in her eyes.

Nightwing pulled her into a hug. He didn't mean for her to get upset. He was only being sarcastic with her. "I'm never going anywhere again. I promise." He whispered into ear and started to stroke her hair to comfort her. 'She's still gullible.'

'It's time we left them alone for the night.' Raven thought to herself as she stood up from the table. "Well, it's getting late and we should go check on Mina." She said as she pulled Beast Boy up with her. Star and Nightwing let go of each other.

"We should all get some rest." Nightwing said. "I'll walk you to your room." He said to Starfire.

"That would be most wonderful." She smiled at him and then went to give her friends good night hugs. Once everyone had left, Nightwing escorted Starfire to her room.


Well, there it is! I hope you liked it! I know it took me forever to get this chapter up, but I kept reading it over again and again to make sure it was okay. I hope it was okay Moving on, the next chapter is going to be just Nightwing and Starfire. They finally get some alone time! Yay! I hope that chapter won't take as long to put up. Until next time!
