"Raven, what time is it?" Robin asked for the hundredth time that night.
"Two o'clock, Robin." Raven responded grumpily.
Robin began to pace, "Where is she? What if something happened to her? What would I do if something happened to her?"
Raven rolled her eyes, "Why don't you go look for her?"
"Good idea, I'll go look for her!" Robin immediately ran out the door.

Kori was still lying on the grass. Gavin, who was the guy that had his arm around her, had fallen asleep awhile ago, and Kori was still too disoriented to stand.
"Kori?" she heard Hardy mumble from somewhere in the mixture of kids on the ground.
"Yeah?" She called.
"Where are you?"
"Next to Gavin, I can't get up."
"Hang on, I'll be right there." Kori saw somebody rise from the ground and Hardy came up to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up, letting her lean against him.
"Wasn't that fun?" he asked, his voice slurring slightly.
"Yeah." Kori mumbled, leaning her head on Hardy's shoulder.
A motorcycle engine was heard in the distance, gradually getting closer.
"Does anybody hear know anybody with a motorcycle?" Hardy asked, making sure that it wasn't somebody who would tell on them.
Several people nodded, Kori included. Everyone looked down the street. Kori's heart almost stopped beating when she recognized the motorcycle, "Shit." She mumbled.
"You know them?" Hardy asked, pulling Kori protectively to Kori.
"Yeah, look, I had a lot of fun tonight, but for the sake of all of you, I have to go." Kori pulled away from Hardy and stumbled toward the motorcycle.

Robin's heart immediately started beating faster as he saw Starfire stumbling toward him. He stopped the bike halfway to her and jumped off, running toward her. When he reached her she fell into his arms.
"What did they do to you?" He asked quickly, "Did they hurt you? Tell me, Star, if they touched you I'll run right back over there and-" "Are you drunk?"
Starfire looked at the ground, "I'm sorry," she whispered, "very sorry."
"Look at me," Robin lifted her chin up to face him, "why? You knew that wasn't right, why?" Robin shook her, as if to knock some sense into her and she let out a sob.
"I said I was sorry!" involuntarily tears began to flow down her cheeks.
"You're sorry, Starfire, do you know those things can kill you?" Robin shook her again.
"Yes, yes I know!" Starfire sobbed, "I want to go home."
Robin sighed, "Okay. Can you walk?"
Starfire nodded and Robin let her go. She took about 4 steps, and then fell. Robin rolled his eyes and gently lifted her into his arms, "I can walk!" she protested, wiggling around.
"Hold still." He commanded and thankful, she listened.
When they reached the R cycle Robin placed Starfire in front of him, so he could hold onto her and she wouldn't fall off. Robin got on behind her, and Starfire could sense his anger and disappointment.
"Please, do not hurt me." She whispered.
That cut right through Robin's heart. Why would she ever think he would hurt her?
"I won't." Robin told her, as he started up his motorcycle.
"Promise?" Starfire leaned back into him.
"I promise."

By the time they reached the Titans Tower, Starfire was sound asleep. Robin carefully picked her up and carried her into the house.
"Is she okay?" Raven asked, showing unusual concern.
"She'll be fine." Robin said, sitting down on the couch besides Raven, still holding Starfire.
"What's wrong with her?" Raven asked.
"Drugs. I don't know what kind of crap she took, but it's taking its toll on her, she's exhausted and barely knows what's going on." He explained.
As if proving Robin's point Starfire's eyes snapped open, "where are we?"
Robin stroked her hair gently, "we're home."
Starfire's gaze flickered to Raven, "Who is she?"
Robin bit his lip, to keep the hurt from showing in his face that she couldn't even recognize Raven, "She's part of the team, remember?"
Starfire nodded drowsily, "oh, yes. What was your name? Ra….Rae…"
"Raven." Raven told her.
"Yes, Raven. I am sorry, friend." Robin held Star tighter to him,
"She forgives you. Go back to sleep Star." Starfire nodded and wrapped her arms around Robin's neck and within minutes she was asleep again.
"Looks like you'll be spending the night on the couch." Raven said as she stood up and walked toward her room.
