A/n: Hi again! Sorry it took so long to update. I'm sorry to say that this is the last chapter. After this there's going to be an epilogue and then Who Am I is finished. We'll make another fanfic, though, so look out for us! This chapter will have a little more to do with the title.
Disclaimer: I hate this thing. It always reminds me I don't own the Teen Titans.
Chapter 5
Robin was glad it was dark out. He was glad that Starfire couldn't see him in this state. That she couldn't read his mind. Robin's shoulders shook with silent sobs. Who was he anymore? He wasn't Robin. You could say Robin had died a fourth at a time. Once when Victor died, once when Raven died, once when Garfield died, and, last of all, after getting revenge on Slade.
The boy who was once Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, shivered. He had killed someone. Super heroes don't kill, do they? Had Batman ever killed someone? Had he felt this way after? He shook his head. He couldn't stay here. It was time to leave.
As he walked down the hall towards Starfire's room, a new thought hit him: Would Starfire come with him? That set of a chain reaction. Where was he going? What would happen to the rest of the Titans? What did Starfire think of him now? He shook his head again. He needed to talk to Star.
Outside her door, he felt his heart beat quicken. Stop it. He told himself firmly, You're not a lovesick little boy any more. He knocked gently. At first there was nothing, and he thought he had been rejected. But then the door flung open and he found himself hugging Starfire's sobbing form.
After a while, Starfire stopped and looked up at him. "Robin, where is your mask?"
He winced. What was he supposed to tell her? That Robin died? "I'm not Robin anymore, Star."
She looked him straight in the eye, "You're not?"
At that moment, Robin realized three things at once, "Starfire," he said slowly, "where are your boots?"
"What?"
"I'm taller than you."
She let out a laugh that melted his heart, "You have been for a while, Boy Wonder. I just wore those boots to make it seem that way."
"You're talking normally!"
Her eyes went dark, "When they died, something in me snapped," she said shortly.
He brushed a strand of hair away from her eyes, "You're not Starfire any more, are you?"
"No."
Their eyes met again. A force of some kind pushed them together until their lips met.
It was exactly 12 o'clock midnight when ever single person in Jump City felt the same thing. It was like a candle had just died, right after lighting a new candle, one that shone brighter and would last longer. Much, much longer. Everyone turned to gaze after a black motorcycle, and, for hours afterward, heard it's roaring engine echo off their streets into their hearts and minds.
A/n: Wow. This is an odd sensation. I felt like I just finished a really good book. But this isn't over yet. There's still an epilogue. So get to reviewing, you'll never find out what happens afterwards unless I get 40 reviews. If you don't, have fun waiting! See you next time!
