Starfire took a deep breath as she exited her room and floated down the hall. Luckily, there was no sign of Cyborg or Beast Boy. It was late in the day and Star hopped that Robin was in his room as usual. Releasing her breath, she knocked on Robin's door lightly.
"Come in." He said casually, not bothering to ask who it was.
Starfire opened the door and took a few steps in, looking around and taking everything in. He didn't turn around from his desk where papers were scattered. He appered to be writing something. Finally, he turned around, his face went into a scowl as he saw Starfire staring back at him.
"Oh. It's you." He said sourly.
She held back tears and bit her lip. "I come here in terms of peace..."
"Please, do explain." Robin said, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair.
"It is Slade...he...he came to me with an offer. But, I do not wish to accept it. Though, I am afraid of what will happen if I do not." She said, her shoulders slumping foward.
Robin's eyes widened. "What was his offer?"
"To take Raven's child once it is born and to give it to him...I know that he is the father now..." She looked to the floor.
Robin nibbled on his lower lip slightly in thought. Why did Slade go to Starfire? Perhaps because she had already caused drama throughout the tower? But the real surprise to him was that Starfire was even telling him anything. He looked back up at her, peering slightly.
"What did he promise you in return?"
"Anything my heart desires..." Her mouth twisted into a frown. "But I believe what I truely wish for is unobtainable."
The boy wonder sighed, he could only guess what she wanted. But that wasn't the problem now. He stood up and walked foward, placing a hand delicately on her shoulder.
"Thanks for telling me about this..." He gave her an honest smile of thanks.
She sighed and stepped closer towards the door, letting his hand drop back to his waist. "I can only hope this will be the first step in my redemption..."
With that, she floated out of the room in a blur. Robin ran a hand through his hair and let out a deep sigh. Slade. He was going to kill that bastard some day...

Raven was on the roof, sitting on one side of a board of chess. Cyborg was on the other side, glaring at the board maliciously.
"Damn...this game is hard." He muttered.
Raven smirked. "Wish you had your chip now don't ya?"
He looked up at her, giving her a dull look. He made a move foward, only to have two of his pieces kicked off the board by Raven. They finnished the game quickly, with Raven winning of course. Soon, they began talking casually, gazing upward as the night sky faded in.
"Hey Rae...I've been wondering lately..." Cyborg said, peering over at her.
She looked over at him, "Hmm?"
"Is Robin as good in bed as everyone plays him up to be?"
That only recived a very dry and unamused look from Raven. First of all, it was beyond perverted and childish. Secondly...she didn't even really know.
"What? I was just wondering..." He muttered.
She rolled her eyes. "Do you have any valid questions?"
"Actually, yeah." He thought for a second. "With you being all half demoness and whatnot, will that affect the baby at all?"
Raven blinked. "I actually don't know. I know my pregnancy will go a bit faster than normal but...besides that..I have no idea."
She stood up, sighing and giving Cy a weak smile. "I'm gonna go inside. Thanks for spending time with me."
Cyborg shot her a small, friendly wink. "Ah, no problem. If you need some more Cyborg wisdom time, you know who to call."
"Please don't start the jingle." Raven said, walking back inside, listening to Cyborg recite his song as she shut the door behind her.
Raven padded lightly through the hall, not hearing any noises or feeling any really intense emotions from anyone. The hallway became darker as the sky blackened, night taking over. A slight sigh escaped Rae, the stars in the night sky were so beautiful it was breath taking. She stopped in the hall to gaze out a window when Robin appeared next to her.
He slipped an arm around her waist, smiling. "You alright?"
She nodded, looking over at him. "Yeah, are you?"
Robin sighed. "I guess so. Well, Starfire talked to me earlier..."
Raven's teeth clenced reflexively at her name. "Yeah...wha'd she say?"
"Slade. He came to her last night. Appearently, he wants the baby when its born.." Robin's grip on Raven's hip tightened slightly.
Her hand went instinctively down to her stomach, it had just started to round out recently. 'I won't let him have you...' She thought to herself, with a small smile.
"I'll make sure both you and the baby are safe, always." Robin planted a small kiss on Raven's cheek and looked back out the window.

Beast Boy was focused intently on the television screen, he was so close to beating Cyborg's high score he could almost taste it...
"Beast Boy?"
The gentle voice broke his concentration and he lost in a blink of the eye. Groaning, he tapped the system off and turned around to see Starfire. She looked lost, worn and tired.
He gave a weak smile, "Oh Hey Star, you need something?"
She sighed and took a seat next to him, her hands twisting in her lap. "I need to speak with someone but...Robin is most likely asleep, Raven does not wish to speak with me and I simply am I not ready to face Cyborg any time soon...So, would you be willing to listen?"
The changeling blinked a few times, "Ummm Sure, I'm all ears."
Star leaned back into the couch, wishing she would just sink into it and disappear. "I was thinking. I saw on television a while back a phrase that made a lot of sense..."
She put a finger to her chin, trying to rehearse it in her mind to sound right. "I believe it is, do onto others as you wish be done onto you..."
"Ooh...so...you starting to have a bit of regret I see." He furrowed his eyebrows in though.
Her lips went into a deep frown. "Well, the regret is heavy inside me, even without that phrase. But what I am trying to say is...perhaps if you treat someone evil with kindness...they will also treat you with kindness..."
"Still not getting what you're poking at here..." He said, turning towards her.
She bit her lip. "For example...say that one of us made friends with a villian. Perhaps they would have a motive to stop being evil and join the good side?"
Beast Boy thought for a second. "Hmm...I guess...but it all depends what villan you're talking about. Some villians are just born evil, Slade for example. That guy does not have a nice bone in his body."
"But...You see, perhaps he needs some to create this bone of niceness inside him..."
The changeling raised and eyebrow and let out a dry laugh. "Sure Star, whatever you say...I guess everyone, perhaps even Slade, have the ability to be good. They're just happy the way they are..."
With that, he stood up and went off to bed, wishing Starfire a good night. She looked up at the ceiling, a small smile appearing on her lips.
'Even Slade has the ablility to be good...' Were the words that echoed through her head.

A/N: I decided to stop it here because it's a bit of suspense. I didn't want to like shove in my next underlying plot and have the chapter be really really long. So, does anyone know what Starfire is planning? Right now, it's in the works in my mind. It's going to become like the secondary plot in the story then, hell, perhaps it'll even branch off into it's own fic...-shrug-
Okay, I promised to do reviewer responses for this chapter so, here we go:
Nightlark: XD! Jude Law is sooo hot, I love him. Ah, I wouldn't banish Star to another dimension, as much as that would connect Rae and Rob more. Thanks for the review and have fun my fellow Robin collector:)
SuicideTrees: For some reason, I love your pen name. But anyways, Thanks so much for the review!
Star: Thanks!
Tinytiny: I think that this chapter answers your question quite nicely. Ahh, Starwars Cliches. I'll try to avoid those. Thanks for the review.
AriesFalcon: Johnny Depp is is pretty hot (especially in Pirates Of The Carribean) but I love Jude Law and Robin so much. Glad to find a fellow Robin Obsesser! Glad you didn't mind the lemon a couple of chapters back. Ahh, no more evil for a while, I promise. Thanks for the review and I'll be sure to get around to reading your story.
SugarDevil: Wow, an anime convention? I've ALWAYS wanted to go to one of those! Though none of them come to my area. My state is stupid. Anyways, thanks so much for the review!
Cherry Jade: Muhaha, you liked Cy's dialouge hmm? I enjoyed writing it and I think he really put her in her place. Oh, I will have tons of fun playing with Robin...erm writing! ; Thanks for the review.
Crzy Grl: Wow! I mean just wow, you really love me. XD Glad to make all of your dreams come true! Owning the Teen Titans hmm? Tha'd be fun. Though...they'd all be having crazy sex and it wouldn't be kid approved anymore (lol- just joking) Thanks a bunch for reviewing!
Poisyn: Oh, I promise that Slade won't get the baby. Congradulations on your baby though! Now, my mother also just had a baby recently after a long and hard pregnancy. She was carrying twins and lost one at 29 weeks. Then she had the remaining baby (my current sister) Three monts prematurely. She means the world to all of my family and I know that it would be tragic for anything to happen to her. I'm really in the know with baby development as far as that goes. But thank you so much for the advice. As for how the baby's powers and whatnot, I'm going to play that into the story very slowly. I love Robin to death and promise not hurt him anymore! ; Cyborg is going to appear a lot more, as you see I wrote him in this chapter with a little cameo with Rae. Thanks so much for the review and I love your little signature.
Rose: Oo Blame me? Ahh, I'm letting up on the Star bashing, as you can see in this chapter. Glad you like Cyborg. Uhh, should I thank you for the review or not? You confuse me... This is never a good thing.
Dragon Huntress: Yeah, some people are getting mad on my portrayal of Starfire. I think I did go a bit overboard. Sorry! Thanks for the review.
Raven42431: Thanks!
Nightwingluver: Oh my god. I was like five seconds away from buying that Robin doll. I curse the fact I didn't because I've never seen him again. : He was so awsome. Anyways, thanks for the review!
That little voice in your head: Yeah, I have TONS of Robin stuff. He's so awsome. Yeah, mesing around with the characters is quite fun. But as you see, I've made Starfire redeem herself in this chapter to please a couple of people and mostly myself. Thanks for the review!
Amber Myst: Oh my god. The cyborg song! Tehehe! I know ALL The words to that! Don't worry, I have no life either. Haha, I agree with you. Raven is going to be a bit tough on Robin for a tiny bit but she still loves him. Don't worry, Starfire is redeeming herself, promise. Now, I will not reveal if BB is over Rae yet for that is a mystery of da story...OoOoOoOo (ghosty sounds). XD Thanks for the review!
Disappear/Syani: -hands you asprin- I know, Robin's eyes probably are blue. But like I said at the end of the chapter. I made them green because being an individual is fun. The eppy haunted? People say that you can see them but...I dunno...
Kr0nnikal: I know, I know. But I like making them green because I feel like it. XP
Goddess Anjanee: Yes, Robin had a chance to redeem himself. A lot of people are loving Cy in this story, tehe. Thanks so much for the review! Oh, before I go, I have to say you have reviewed like almost every one of my stories and I want to thank you for that:)
Secret: Thanks for the review!
Emberwings: Ahh, glad you enjoyed Cy. I know, his dialouge seemed really real to me too. That's why I left it in there. Yeah, his eye color is like impossible to find. I've had like twenty people tell me "Blaaah they're bluee" and "Look at the comics" but I made them green because I feel like it. Thanks for the review.
InkBlotted Chakra: Thanks for the review. I know, i'm letting up on the Starfire bashing now.
Lexie515: What can I say, Drama is my forte? Didn't mean to rhyme there...Anyways, thanks for the review!
Morgan000: Thanks!
