A/N: Hey everybody! I hope you liked the last chapter! I made this chapter super long (to me it was) to make up for not updating in so long. Thanks for reviewing everyone! Unfortunately I can't post review replies or whatever that was, so I'm just gonna say thanks to everyone that DID review.
Just so everyone knows, Speedy and Bumblebee were part of Titans West, with Starfire, Robin, Raven, Beastboy, and Cyborg. Just so we're clear.

Supergirl slumped on the couch. It had been three days since Starfire had her little outburst. That stupid slut! Everybody was paying attention to little Starfreak or whatever her name was, and even her own boyfriend was ignoring her!
Why WAS he ignoring her? All for that stupid redhead! How could this happen to her? She was Supergirl, the blonde bombshell who had every man falling down on his knees for her. Every man that was, except for Nightwing. Lately, he had been acting strange. She couldn't understand.
She got him to fall in love with her before, why couldn't she do it now? "Before" was when she was single (which was rare for her). She had faked the whole act, everything- being kind and sweet, loving and caring. She didn't think they would buy it, but it seemed that one person had fallen for it- the famous Richard Grayson. But now, the one thing that was in her way before had come back again. She hated her from the moment she met her...
Flashback"Hey Speedy," A young Supergirl said, "Tell me more about the Titans."
Speedy muttered under his breath. It had only been a couple of hours and he already began to get irritated with her. Was she really that stupid, or was she just annoying? He had explained to her about the Titans about five times since they started out for Titans' Tower.
"SPEEDY!"
"Fine! Whatever! Okay, there's Cyborg, he's half robot. Then there's Raven; she's this telepathic, half-demon sorceress. Beastboy's on the team too, and he's this type of changeling."
She chewed lazily on her gum. "Uh-huh, who else? You told me there were like, six more people other than yourself!"
He glanced at her. "Would you just shut up for a second? I never said I was done! There's Robin, yeah EVERYONE knows him. He doesn't really have any special powers though, kinda like me. And then there's-"
Pausing after Speedy suddenly remained silent, Supergirl turned and noticed a dreamy look on his face.
"What?"
"-And then there's Starfire..."His voice trailed off as he went back to his dreamy state, only this time with a lovesick grin plastered onto his face.
"And who the heck is SHE?"
"Who? Starfire is-is...Starfire is this beautiful princess. She's from another planet. But even though, she-she's intelligent, and beautiful and elegant and powerful, and-and did I mention beautiful?"
"Only a million times!"
She looked straight ahead and squealed loudly, while Speedy made it a note to buy some earplugs.
"Like, omigosh! It's TITANS' TOWER!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Supergirl walked in to find six teens standing, waiting for her.
"Like, hey everybody! I'm Supergirl and I totally love pink! Please call me at 958-939-4655!" (A/N: that was just a random number.)
A dismal goth stared back at her with an emotionless face. "Um, okay...nice greeting. Where'd you get it from, a billboard or something?"
Supergirl put on a fake frown, and thanks to her good acting, a tear rolled down her face, which to her dismay didn't have any effect whatsoever on the girl.
"Oh, so you're gonna treat me like THAT. You must be Raven. I at least wanted to TRY being your friend."
Raven stared back at the girl incrediculessly. "Knock yourself out," and with that, walked away towards a thick tome. (A/N: tome book.)
A lean, grass-colored teen made his way to Supergirl and stuck his hand out, offering for her to shake it.
He grinned his biggest and smiled, "Hey, I'm Beastboy, and I-"
She jumped into someone's arms and yelled, "Like omigosh, there's a humongous booger in your tower! Somebody kill it!"
"Relax," a voice said, "That's Beastboy. He's part of the team."
She looked up to see- hot, hot HOT!
Supergirl quickly regained her posture and jumped out of his arms, walking seductively around him in a circle, swinging her hips from side to side.
"And who are YOU?"
The ebony-haired teen blushed slightly. "I'm Robin. Glad to have you here on the team."
She fluttered her eyes dangerously, making eye contact with him. "Oh no, really. Its my pleasure to meet you in the first place." She licked her lips slowly, ignoring one certain redhead that was glaring at their direction with eyes that were glowing green with jealousy.
"Uh-um...meet the rest of the team!" he said nervously. "This is Cyborg."
She looked over to see a half-man, half-robot ignoring her for a video game.
"This is Bumblebee."
A girl wearing a black and yellow top was crossing her arms in dislike. "Just stay away from me, and we won't have any problems. Understand? We are NOT friends, I hope you get that straight..."
Robin then put his hands on Supergirl's shoulders and turned her around swiftly. "And this, this is Starfire."
Supergirl swerved around and looked at him suspiciously, finding the same lovesick grin on Speedy's face.
"Hey! Do you like her too-"
Once again, Robin laughed goofily but then immediately clapped his two hands over his mouth. "No time for questions!"
Supergirl began to observe an auburn-haired girl who was about a couple of inches taller than her, maybe even a foot. She envied her long, tan legs that were covered with purple boots. A short mini skirt reached her thighs, and she had on two metal gloves and a steel armband. Her top was similar to Bumblebee's, except it had a silver armor plate at her neck, and was of course, purple. She didn't like this girl already...
End FlashbackShe was going to put that slut in her place; she was going to make SURE that she made Starslut even more heartbroken than she was when she left the first time. She was going to MAKE her leave...again. A loud, blazing siren suddenly rang out through the tower.
"Titans, trouble! Let's get moving!"
Supergirl flew swiftly to her boyfriend's side, clutching his arm as they passed by the medical room. As she began to hold him back for a minute, she peeked inside and saw Kori stirring for a moment. Seeing that she was awake, she yanked the ebony-haired hero towards her direction, planting a kiss that never seemed to end on his lips. She let go of him, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glance of a tear falling from the supposedly comatose girl's eye. She focused her attention back on Nightwing with her eyebrows raised, as if she was expecting something back.
Nightwing took this as his cue. "I love you."
To Supergirl's satisfaction, Kori turned over...and she was trembling. This was good enough for her.
"I love you too baby. Come'on, let's go," and with that she dragged him across the hall.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THE SITUATION IN STARFIRE'S POINT OF VIEW
What WAS that beaming light? And that noise...was that the alarm? I heard faint rustling outside my door.
"Ugghh. What happened?" I murmured softly to myself.
"Robbie, wait!"
I paused as I lay stiffly in my bed. I knew that voice- Supergirl. As soon as I heard her smother a laugh, I rolled over on to my other side, only to see her making out with whom else but Nightwing. I caught a sneer she had shot towards me. She knew I was awake? A tear made its way down my cheek, as I turned around again, unable to watch the scene happening before me just outside the room. I trembled as I tried to calm my tears down, waiting for the dreaded couple to leave.
Was he THAT clueless? Does he even know what he did to me? Raven spent weeks trying to teach me how to connect our minds together! I had to get in touch with her every hour of day telepathically during my first few months in New York just so that she could help me recover!
Why am I doing this to myself? No wait, that wasn't it. Why am I letting THEM do this to me? That little tramp and that good for nothing guy she calls her boyfriend!
I sighed to myself. How could I let them get to me like this; I was letting her get the better of me. Deep down, I knew I was a better person than Supergirl. Even Raven had successfully convinced me so. Thank god for Raven, though. If it weren't for her, I would be taking therapy sessions with a shrink every day! I have always been ever so grateful to her. Despite our differences, she treats me like the sister she's never had. She's taught me so many things- things I couldn't have learned even from my mother!
My thoughts turn back to Nightwing and Supergirl. So many months of trying to convince myself that I don't love him, and this is what I get? A make-out session displayed before me? Memories of the day I left rushed back into my mind. Everything just flashed right before my eyes- their first kiss, spilling out my feelings to Raven, the pain I felt right before I slipped out my broken window- everything. Suddenly, the dam that had been holding back my tears cracked. It didn't break, but it cracked.
I tried taking deep breaths, but each one made me feel stupider by the minute; not one could help me.
"Think of something else, think of something else, think of..." I paused to think of something other than my past, but then came to a conclusion when I thought of-
"...Speedy."
FlashbackA redhead stood drenched outside the airport. Great. Now that she had traveled all the way to New York, where was she to go now? Maybe she should just go back to-
"Hello miss?"
The young teen looked up to find another red-haired teen with the most beautiful hazel eyes she had ever seen. Except for the fact that he didn't have on a mask, he could have passed for-
"Speedy?"
He smiled as soon as she made eye contact with him.
"Yup, it's me."
"Yes, I am aware, but...why are you here? Did somebody send you?"
He led her back into the airport, politely gesturing for her to sit down. She remained standing.
"Please tell me Speedy. What brings you here?"
He stuck his hands deep into his pockets, fumbling his fingers inside nervously. "Umm...well..." His voice trailed off into the distance as he blushed in embarrassment.
She cocked her head to the side as she pleaded, "Please?"
"I, uh...I just came here on my own. I wanted to see if you were okay. I hope your not mad or anything that I follo-"
She jumped and leapt up into his arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh, thank you so much Speedy! Why would I be mad," she sniffled. He began to pat her back soothingly as she buried her head into his shoulder.
"Are you okay? You know you can tell me anything- I'll be here for you."
Starfire broke away from him momentarily, giving him a chance to see how pain stricken she looked. "I-he-she-..." Her voice turned into barely a whisper.
"You don't know how painful it was for me." She held onto him once more even tighter, realizing suddenly how good a friend he was.
"It's okay," he said reassuringly. "You can tell me anything..."
End FlashbackI smiled at that memory. I had been so in love with Robin that time that I never to see how much Speedy truly cared about me.
I sighed. So many years wasted on trying to impress Robin; he probably thought of me as one of those silly schoolgirls with a meaningless crush.
'Ugghh! I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM, I HATE-'
'You hate who?'
'Raven?' I answered stupidly.
'Yeah. I didn't realize you were awake until I actually felt you getting mad. I didn't realize you had so much hatred,' she answered back sarcastically but at that same time serious in her emotionless voice.
'Oh, I was just thinking about-'
I could almost see her smirking knowingly at what I was about to say next. 'Its okay, I-"
'Raven?' I communicated telepathically. Why was she cut off? 'RAVEN!'
'Ahhh!...Sorry, Kori...We're getting pretty thrashed out here. I better go now; Nightwing's starting to get mad at me. Oh yeah, and don't even think about getting out of your bed!'
I chuckled out loud. 'Sure thing, Rae. Sure-'
A yelp of pain cut me off. I froze. It belonged to Raven.
I stood up shakily from my bed. They needed me. My friends needed me; I had to do something, they were getting hurt out there. I went to my room and pulled out a small suitcase with all of my most important possessions. I slipped on my new uniform; I tried to pick one of my less skin baring ones.
I ran to the garage. Great. What could I use? I couldn't fly there!
A sharp gleaming object suddenly caught my eye. A motorcycle! Wait, didn't it belong to-
"Nightwing won't mind to much," I pondered aloud to myself. I hopped on and drove into the distance.

A/N: Hey! Did you like it? Here's a preview of the next chapter:
He strode around her in a circle as she crossed her arms defiantly with a smirk. He came to a stop and cupped her delicate chin with his hand, tilting it up to his face for eye contact.
"I see you've changed a lot, Cutie," he whispered in her ear. "And for the better too."
Well, review! Please!
