Author Note: I really don't have anything to say, except for, please review, and that I'm very sorry about this short chapter and the boring one I expect to follow. Vewwy sowwy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. They belong to someone else. –cry-
On with chapter two…

"Firstly, we don't know where he lives." Starfire could have sworn her heart stopped beating in her chest. What could the second thing be? And then it hit her. Cyborg didn't even need to say it.
But he did. "Star? Robin's married."
The alien was silent. What an idiot she had been to even hope Robin loved her. His heart belonged to someone else. It always would. She couldn't have been happier that she hadn't told him how she felt. She would have made a fool of herself.
"But Star, he was… like… forced to," Beast Boy added.
Starfire looked at her green friend, not even noticing the tears blurring her eyesight. "What did you say, friend Beast Boy?"
"He was forced to. Kitten. She's gotten stronger, somehow. And Killer Moth is still in jail. She didn't even have any help."
The alien sighed. "But we still are unaware of his location of dwelling."
"Maybe Raven will know," Cyborg suggested. "Let's pay her a visit."

834 PICLA PARKWAY, STEEL CITY, 6:24 P.M.
The metal on his fist made the cold, steel door ring after the bangs evaporated. There was some shuffling inside, and Raven, dressed in a pink robe and leotard, came to the door.
"Hey, guys! Waddup!" she asked. Cyborg and Starfire stared at her with their bottom jaws on the floor.
"Happy?" Beast Boy asked, recognizing the freed emotion.
"That's me, BB. So, you guys wanna come in, maybe grab a bite? And who's the girl?"
"This is Starfire, Happy, and you two should be good friends. You already know Cyborg, of course."
"Do I ever! So, like, want some Peeps?" she erupted into a fit of giggles.
Her pink robe suddenly turned yellow, a pair of circular glasses appeared on the tip of her nose, and she stopped giggling and dropped the box of marshmallows.
"Salutations, friends. May I interest you in some edible materials?"
"Knowledge? What's going on? Why are you all coming out of Nevermore?"
"I believe that the Raven you are most familiar with has been analyzing the situations inside Nevermore, such as Happy and Hatred constantly arguing, and has come to the conclusion that it shall do all of her emotions a bit of good to escape the never-ending prison of her mind and see the light of day, reality, and so on and so forth. I am quite proud to say I assisted in the matter of deciding on a proper solution for the problem, and the act of finding a way to bring us out. I came to the conclusion that if Raven is an almost perfect clone of any one chosen emotion, that emotion shall find it quite easier to locate the portal out of Raven's mind and leave Nevermore. However, since the emotion thus far shown to the public cannot physically, psychologically, and, above all, emotionally, clone itself to look, act, and feel like another emotion, it is most difficult for one emotion to find the portal when another is using the body of the Raven you know. However, I, being who I am, had the sense and, pardon the pun, knowledge to find the portal and find a way to make it easier for me to undergo the usage of it." Knowledge pushed the glasses up on her nose.
Beast Boy was holding his head, screaming something about information burning him, Cyborg was recording Knowledge's speech and replaying it so slowly the words barely made sense, and Starfire was nodding, understanding perfectly.
There was silence for a moment, before Knowledge's cloak became navy blue and her glasses disappeared.
"What are you three doing here?" Raven asked. "Starfire?"
Starfire looked at her other two friends, Beast Boy running around like a madman, still screaming, Cyborg standing with his ear almost right up against his arm, where his voice-activated recorder was, listening to the uncomprehendable sounds coming out of it.
"Perhaps it is best that we talk over pizza… After we give our friends some time to… what Beast Boy says… 'cool down'."
Raven looked at the two men. She nodded. Starfire was right. The half-demon only wondered how they would be able to get them to calm down.

"One pepperoni with sausage, bacon, ham, and extra cheese, please," Cyborg said.
"Dude, what don't you get about veggie-tarian?" Beast Boy asked, putting extra emphasis on "veggie".
"How can you not like the meaty goodness of MEAT!" Cyborg shouted, causing the restaurant to empty. Quickly.
The waiter began to shake. "I want a no-dairy cheese pizza," Beast Boy said, and the waiter scribbled it down.
"I would like a pizza with chocolate sauce, pineapple, salami, bananas, the seafood scallops, watermelon, corn, and spaghetti."
The waiter began to shake more than ever. He turned slightly green, too.
Starfire cocked her head. "Are you not going to write my order down on your small, rectangular piece of pulped trees?"
"You m—m—mean y—you weren't—t kidd--d—ing?" The waiter was now fully terrified.
Starfire smiled. "No, I was not doing this 'kidding' you speak of."
The waiter nodded, still trembling, and looked to Raven. "I'm not hungry."
The waiter went—no, fled, rather—to the kitchen.
"So, Starfire, how was Tamaran?" Cyborg asked her between bites of his pizza, after the waiter had returned.
There was silence. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked up from their meals (Raven looked up from her book). Starfire was staring out a window of the pizza place. The three turned around to see a blonde woman saying something to a walking stack of shopping bags. Starfire squinted, and gasped.
"Kitten…" the alien said.
It took the foursome three seconds to get out of the pizza place and within earshot of Kitten and her moving bags.
"Come on, you slow, good-for-nothing slob! It's a good thing you're cute, or I'd divorce you in a flash, Robbie-poo."
Starfire gasped. "Robin…"
Ending Author Note: Well? And yes, you're going to figure out why Robin doesn't kick Kitten's ass into dust. In the next chapter, probably. Anyway, please review, and sorry that was so short. If you review (hint-hint) chapter 3 will be longer. And all you Avatar fans out there, read my Avatar fic, titled Change in the Winds. Thanks.
