The sound of the heart monitor was beeping steadily when Robin walked into the room. He glanced from the still form of Starfire, to Raven sitting in a chair in the corner, and back to Starfire.

"What did you do to her?" Robin said menacingly to Raven.

"What?" Raven asked, glancing at Robin, "what did I do to her?"

Robin turned on his heel to face Raven, "Yes! What did you do to her! I told you to follow her, not kill her!"

"Kill her! What the hell, Robin? She chased after me, threatening to kill me. She ran right into the street." Raven began to explain.

"A car did this?" Robin asked, his voice sounding calmer.

"Yeah," and Raven began to explain.


Raven saw the car hit Starfire, and knock her to the ground. The drive must have tried to stop because you could hear the tires squealing on the concrete, but they couldn't make the car stop soon enough and just ended up trapping her beneath the wheels. Raven immediately flew back to the ground and dragged the girl out from beneath the vehicle. Most of the skin on her lower arm was missing and Raven could see blood seeping through her shirt.

"Star? Starfire?" Raven tried to see if Starfire was responsive at all, but she wasn't. Ambulance sirens were heard in the distance, and that's when Raven noticed Hardy, Melanie, and Cassie standing a little way away from her. Hardy had a cell phone in his hand. The ambulance pulled up and loaded Starfire on, and after Raven climbed in the back, the drove toward the hospital.


"I…." Robin struggled for words, and in the end he just sat down against a wall.

"How is she doing?" Beast Boy asked, poking his head into the room

"The doctor hasn't said yet," Raven began "he's still looking over her X rays."

"Oh." Beast Boy disappeared again into the hall.

Raven looked over at Robin who was looking pale, and holding his head in his hands, "I'm sure she'll be fine, Robin."

Robin's head snapped up and he looked Raven in the eyes, "but what if she's not? I….I don't know what I'd do without her." Robin's face turned red after realizing what he had said, but he really didn't care at the moment. It was the truth.

"She'll be fine." Raven repeated again.

"May I come in?" somebody asked from the doorway.

Robin looked up to see a girl standing in the doorway. The girl who had caused all these problems, Alia.

"No." Robin said angrily.

"I'm sorry." Alia said, "I wasn't trying to hurt her, honestly."

Robin glared at Alia, "The only reason I let Star be friends with you is because she was on an assignment. Alia, we're the Teen Titans, you haven't even heard of us, have you?"

A confused look cam over Alia's pretty features, "Who's Star? What do you mean 'let' her be friends me? And no, I haven't heard of you, but you sound like some kind of junior foot ball team."

Robin heard Beast Boy laugh in the hallway, and he thought if he had been out there he would have punched him out, "We're not a football team. We fight crime."

Confusion was replaced by a look of terror on Alia's face, "I haven't done anything wrong in awhile."

"I know. That's why this damn assignment lasted so long." Robin mumbled.

"She was using me?" Alia whispered.

"I wouldn't all it using," Raven spoke up monotonously, "it was more….watching."

"But she didn't know." Robin joined in.

"Oh, well, you're not going to arrest me…are you?" Alia looked at Robin.

"No. We don't have any reason to."

Alia bit her lip, and then stepped into the room. She walked over to Starfire's bed and looked down at her friend, "Is she going to die?"

"She'd better not." Robin stated, "but right now I have no idea."

"I hope she doesn't, who are you, by the way? Her cousin?" Alia turned to face Robin.

"Cousin? No, I'm her friend." Robin explained.

Alia nodded, "Hardy would be jealous of you."

Robin raised his right eyebrow, "Hardy?"

"Kori's boyfriend."

Robin's face turned red with anger. "What?"

"She hasn't told you about Hardy? Well, they've been dating for about a week, even though it's not really official yet…" Alia explained.

"….Raven?" A soft mumble came from the bed.

Everyone turned and looked. Starfire was slowly opening her eyes.

"Yeah, Star?" Raven asked, standing to move closer to her.

Alia kneeled down next to Robin, "Who is Star?"

"That's Star, it's her…fighting name, I guess."

"That's a nice name." Alia sat down next to Robin.

"Yah." Robin sighed, "It is."

"Did you see that car hit me?" Star whispered.

"Yah, I saw it. I rode on the ambulance with you." Raven stated.

A smile flickered across Starfire's face, "It was pretty cool, huh?"

Shock played across Raven's face, surprise across Robin's, and Alia laughed, "What are you laughing at?" Robin asked Alia.

"She got that from Tristan."

Robin sighed and stood up, walking over to Starfire's bed, "That wasn't cool, Star."

"Robin?"

"Yeah," Robin's face suddenly became hard, "think I was Hardy?"

"No…"

"Do you wish I was Hardy?"

Starfire shook her head, "I do not want Hardy."

"You don't?"

"No." Starfire moved her hand over to find Robin's and grasped it.

"Who do you want then?" Robin asked, his voice coming out in a whisper.

"….You."

Robin leaned closer to her. Raven rolled her eyes and thought, 'I haven't been myself lately' and used her powers to push her friend's lips to each others.

It took Robin a few seconds to try to figure out how the hell his lips ended up on Starfire's, but the kiss took over his mind and the question was dropped. After a minute the two teens split apart to find Cyborg, Beast Boy, Alia, Raven, …and the doctor, staring at them.

"Uh…hi." Robin mumbled to the doctor and stepped away and sat down against the wall again.

"Hi….anyway, I just came to tell you all that, "the doctor glanced down at the clip board in his hand, "Starfire should be just fine. She'll need to be in a wheelchair for a couple weeks and have the stitches in her arms for awhile, but she'll come out just fine."

Robin jumped up and whooped in joy, then cleared his throat and sat back down, "I mean, that's cool."

Everybody laughed and the doctor left. Alia got up and walked over to Starfire, "Hey uh…Star, I guess."

"Hi, Alia."

Robin stood up and walked over to Starfire's bedside, "Star, I need to tell you something."

"Yes?"

"When you went to school, it was because we were sending you on an assignment to become friends with Alia, so if she committed another crime we could know where she was."

Starfire looked at the wall, "You lied to me?"

"Yah, Star, but it was for the team." Beast Boy told her and transformed into a kitchen and jumped onto her bed, nuzzling against her.

Alia looked at Beast Boy in shock, "Aw, that is the cutest thing!"

Beast Boy jumped off the bed and winked at Raven, "You hear that, she thinks I'm cute."

An explosion was heard outside and Raven blushed. Robin turned to Alia, "you know, you really aren't that bad."

"Thank you?"

"No, uh, what I mean is if you want to…you can hang out with us sometime." Robin explained.

"Please Alia, do!" Starfire cheered.

"Okay, that'd be cool. What about the others?" Alia asked.

"They can come to." Starfire stated.

Robin nodded, "I guess. I need to start being less protective of you, Star."

"You're right." Starfire laughed.


Later that day, after Alia left, the Titans helped Starfire into a wheel chair, and left for the tower.
