Raven was hard at her meditation. Starfire was busy with making another horrendous pudding, Beastboy and Cyborg were at the video games, and Robin was practicing his jumps. But…things wouldn't be so ordinary after a while….

Soon it was lunchtime.

"BB! Get me my coffee!" said Cyborg.

"Cy! I have made you my very own tamaranean coffee!" said Starfire producing a dark mixture.

Cyborg looked a bit apprehensive.

"Another day, star." He said smiling painfully.

Robin dashed in with,

"Titans! Alert! Someone has raided the jewellery store!"

They all sat in the T car and raced towards the store. Sure enough, Plasmus was ruining things over there.

Starfire sent a volley of starbolts at him but they weren't effective. Plasmus struck his hand up and caught her.

"Leave her alone you filth!" shouted Robin. He sent an electric boomerang which threw Starfire down electrifying her.

Little did he know that a crafty eye was watching all this carefully…

Starfire lay there stunned and bruised. The rest continued fighting hard, and finally they won.

"Star! You okay?" asked Beastboy landing next to her.

"I'm fine…" she croaked.

"I think it's time to go. Let's leave." Said Robin.
Everyone stared in confusion and indignation at Robin. It was not like him not to be worried about a team member.

"Starfire 's hurt." Said Raven brusquely.

"Yeah…yeah…let us leave!" he said and went and sat in the car.

The rest were shocked and Starfire was very perturbed by Robin's behavior.

They returned to the T tower, all of them very quiet and subdued. Everyone was thinking, what has happened to Robin?

At home, Starfire set about doing her usual stuff. If Robin's angry with me, she thought, the best way to make him happy is to make a lovely Glorg, the sluggish pudding which everyone loved in Tamaran.

Robin came close behind her with a boomerang to attack. There was something different about his eyes…they were dark and intense…and cruel…

At that moment she turned and saw him and she dropped the glorg.

"Oh Robin!" she cried.

Instantly Robin's eyes looked normal again. He stared in disgust at all the slugs crawling around.

"Better clean that up!" he said and was about to walk away when he saw Starfire 's emerald eyes swimming with tears.

"Hey Star…what happened? By the way how are you feeling now?" he said gently and gave her a hug to comfort her.

"You weren't even bothered!" she snapped and was about to walk away when Robin said,

"What are you talking about!"
