Prologue

Yelling could be heard through out the tower. Shouts of frustration and pain were thunderous to those who were not involved in it.

Beast Boy was in his room trying as hard as he could to block it out. He turned the volume up on his video game as high as he could. The yelling could still be heard.

Cyborg was in the garage. He had hoped that retreating to the lowest level would bring him some peace and quiet. He was wrong.

Raven was outside, sitting by the ocean because sitting at the top of the tower was the second worst place to be at this moment. She strained to keep her powers in check. The emotions of her friends were starting to reach dangerous levels.

The argument was about their relationship. Naturally, it was about the usual distrust, dishonesty and mixed signals. Being the emotional one, Starfire was hurt beyond comprehension and being from Tamaran didn't help either, for she told him exactly what was on her mind the very instant it formed.

"You told me that you loved me! Please explain why you feel the love for both me and her!" Her voice echoed off the walls of the operations room. "Why do you refuse to answer?" Each second that passed by was another second her blood boiled. "You are a clorbag varblernelk!"

Robin could barely talk. He was confused and hurt. Starfire was jumping to conclusions and he tried to get her to listen. "Starfire, I do love you, more than anyone could ever imagine. I swear to you, she is only a stupid crush. I don't want anyone to get in between us; I swear this is just a stupid crush," Robin tried to explain.

There they both stood, neither one talking, only staring at each other. Robin looked away, but Starfire was unable to notice, after all, he was wearing his mask.

Starfire panicked, she was scared. She didn't want to lose the best thing in her life and she didn't want to fall for his lies. After all, Robin was always going to Gotham for one reason or another. How did she know he wasn't cheating on her? She knew that he would never do such a thing. It wasn't like him, but still the thought continued to grow and she soon began assuming things. She had watched way too many romance movies to realize that the real life was never like the movies.

That painful night was where Starfire ended it. Starfire ran to her room and Robin left, where he went no one knew.

The tower was unusually quiet and anytime someone wished to talk, it was a whisper, barely audible to the person leaning in to hear it.
