Quick Note: There's no TECHNICAL Starfire bashing in this story...but, I think, in the upcoming chapters most of you will probably wish to kill her...Tehe. Just so you all know, Starfire is actually my favorite chacter. Your comments on her do not offend me. Now, you're probably wondering, if Star is my favorite char. then why am I not one of those die hard RobStar fans? Meh. They ARE an adorable couple and...well...Once you guys see "Stranded"...hah. But, I think Star is a bit too bubbly for Robin at times...Could go on and on, but I won't. Lol. On with it:

Raven floated out into the kitchen early next morning in hopes of making herself some tea. Her stomach was feeling queasy again as she grabbed a cup from the cabinet. She didn't even recognize Starfire sitting at the kitchen table. When Raven turned around with her mug, she jumped slightly at the alien's appearence.
"Oh...um...Hi Starfire..." Raven muttered, taking a sip of tea.
Starfire sighed and looked at Raven, giving a weak smile. "Hello friend Raven, I trust you are feeling alright?"
Raven took a seat next to Star and sighed running a hand through her hair. "Yeah...what about you?" The telepath saw the pained expression in Starfire's eyes. Suddenly, her mind flashed back to Starfire, running away and crying in the rain.
Starfire didn't respond. She seemed to be remebering yesterday too. Her lip quivered slightly and she let out a long sigh. "I am...fine..."
Raven furrowed her eyebrows. "Starfire...I'm really sorry about yesterday...I...well...I didn't know you felt that way about Robin...otherwise I would've..."
"You would have hidden itfrom me..." Starfire whispered, hurt. She turned away as she stood up. "Raven...I advise that you do not talk to me for a few hours..."
The telepath's eyes widened slightly as Starfire flew out of the room. She leaned back in her chair and let out a long groan. Aliens, so difficult to understand and talk to. Raven nearly attacked when a gloved hand rested on her shoulder.
"Robin...You starttled me..." Raven said smoothly.
He smiled, even though she couldn't see it. "So...What was Starfire saying?"
Raven merely shrugged and turned around finally, Robin's hand sliding off her shoulder as she went. "I don't know...but...We're hurting a lot of people being together..."
He shifted the weight on his feet and sighed. "Well...I think whats hurting them more is the fact that your pregnant...perhaps we should tell them who the father really is?"
"No!" Raven shouted, the mug she had been drinking out of cracked. "I can't, I just can't handle it..." Her hands began to shake as every horrible thought slipped into her head.
Robin grabbed her hands, holding them still and looking into Raven's fear struck eyes."Raven...calm down...we don't have to tell them if you don't want to..."
Raven leaned foward as Robin pulled her into a gentle hug. Her sobs began to lessen as he wiped the tears off her face.
In the doorway, Starfire stood. Her hand was over her mouth at the scene. She had heard every word of their conversation. Her mind began to think up every which way she could use it to her advantage...the possibilities were endless.

It was around noon now. Most of the Titans were out doing daily errands or relaxing. Cyborg and Beast Boy had run out to the store for weekly groceries while Raven meditated. Robin was training as usual, trying to improve his already super sharp aim. He haden't even noticed when someone stepped into the room.
Robin was soaked in sweat, causing his hair to fall around his face messily. It was only when spun to do a kick, that he saw a shadowed figure in the doorway.
"Uhh...Who is it?" He asked, grabbing a towel and wiping his brow.
The door closed and the figure stepped foward, the shadows still covering them. Finally stepping into the light, Robin saw it was Starfire. She had on a bitter smile that anyone would pinpoint as no good.
"Robin...My dear friend Robin..." She said, walking towards him slowly, the smirk curling upon her lips.
Masked eyes widened as they met green. "Starfire...You know that...Raven and I..." He began, thinking that she would try to kiss him again.
Her eyes narrowed angrily, but went back to calm almost instantly. "Yes, yes...about you and her...She is carrying a child, correct?"
Robin swallowed and nodded, "What about it?"
Starfire was so close to Robin now, she could almost taste the sweat that fell silently down his face. "It isyours...right?"
"Y-Yeah..." Robin said, stepping back a few inches.
She laughed darkly. "Liar..." Her voice slipped out darkly, something foreign coming from Starfire.
Robin felt himself tense up, holding in a gasp. "What are you talking about...that baby is...mine.."
"I heard you earlier...I do not whose it is...but it certianly is not yours..." Starfire leaned foward, grabbing the yellow collar of Robin's cape.
"I...I...Just...Don't tell anyone, alright? She doesn't want anyone to know..." Robin could've sworn he had felt his heart skip a few beats.
Starfire narrowed her eyes, smirking again. She resembled her sister perfectly. "You will have to repay me for not telling anyone..."
Robin tore himself from her grasp, taking a few steps back, nearly chocking on a gasp. Images of Starfire pulling him into a forced kiss, entered his head for reasons unknown."I won't do anything for you! This is blackmail for christs sake, andi'm not going to be a part of it!"
"Fine. I shall just go to Raven and tell her that you told me the entire story...She will refuse to talk to you ever again...and I could tell Beast Boy and Cyborg also...I am sure they would be dying to know." Starfire turned around and began to walk towards the door.
Cursing under his breath, Robin held out a hand. "Don't...Just tell me what you want..." He closed his eyes, knowing this wasn't going to be pretty.
'Perfect' Was the first word that slipped into Starfire's mind.

Raven was meditating in her room when a slight knock came on her door. She sighed deeply.
"Who is it?"
"It's Beast Boy...can I come in?"
"Was that supposed to make me laugh, because it might actually work..." Raven said, glaring at the door. No one came into her room...well, except for Robin. She had been hoping that Beast Boy would be out at the store for hours, peace and quiet inside the house, yet here he was at her door.
"Umm...Is that a yes or a no?"
"That's a no."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
Silence. Raven tried to meditate again but he kept knocking on the door. Cursing under her breath, she went over to the door, opening it a crack to reveal one glaring eye.
"Make it quick. My attention span for you is that of a goldfish." Raven said coldy, she wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone at the moment, especially Beast Boy.
Beast Boy sighed and gathered his words. "Look...I'm really, really, really sorry about the other day...I didn't mean to come on to you like that and...um...Wanna come to the park with me?"
Raven blinked slowly. "Thanks but...No thanks..." She shut the door quickly, a headache taking her over for a second.
Beast Boy's ears fell and he sighed, turning his heel and walking away defeated.
