Chapter two, Cosmos-
Every night, since they had learned each other's secrets thanks to the puppet king, they had a tradition. They would meet on the roof, raven entering the roof, occasionally passing Robin on his way down. While the sunset was a time for romance, the dark was a time for sisterhood. Robin would watch the sunset with Starfire sometimes, but others he would be too busy.
Raven always showed, and Starfire was always waiting.
They sat at the edge of the tower, side by side, waiting. When the sun finally sank below the sea, they waited some more. When the sky got dark enough, they laid back and looked up at the sky.
They talked.
Each would tell the other a story of their life before they were titans, before they left their homes.
Starfire would tell of Tamaran, and her sister and brother, her father and mother, and galfore. She told of the purple skies and all the animal. the festivals celebrating everything from birth to death, to love to friendship, that she had so loved. She told of the great battles fought all over the cosmos, and the school she attended.
Raven would tell of Azarath, of the monks, of Azar, and of her mother. She told of the golden building, the silver streets, the three moons in the sky. She told of the books, all the books in the great library that she had so loved. She told of the way Azar calmed disputes all over the cosmos, and the training she had gone through to learn control.
It was their tradition, and the others never interfered. Even when the occasional object blew up, they never mentioned it, knowing that in the end, It healed more then it broke.
The girls always waiting until it was dark for many reasons. They easily could have done this waiting for the sun to rise, but they waiting for dark. It hid their tears, whether they be happy or sad one.
The dark of the sky revealed the stars. And it let them imagine that one of those stars in that infinite sky was their home, both knowing that it wasn't. One was too far away to be seen, and one was destroyed.
The dark hid the tears of the two girls, two girls with extraordinary gifts, two girls with their shares of pain, two girls closer then many blood sister could ever be, two girls who's hope was just as infinite as the sky they stared into through tears stained eyes.
