Chapter 4

I'm here no matter what

Please leave a review and let me know what you think. Vi, thanks for letting me know about the Chapter 3 problem. It must be because I'm doing this on my phone. So leave a review and let me know what you guys think!

Starfire let Robin sit next to her, and they faced each other. "Robin I am so sorry for everything that I did. Please understand I wrote the note because it would have been too painful to say goodbye to you. I'm a coward."

Robin sighed. "Star, I want you to know that I love you. And nothing will ever change that. I knew the day I met you that I would need you in my life. I've had way too much darkness in my life, and I need the light of you in my life. I need you by my side. Please don't leave me."

Starfire gently took his mask from his eyes. She could see slight tears in his eyes. She gently touched his face. "I am so sorry Robin. You are my everything, my love. I need you too Robin. I let the Batman get to me."
"I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to make sure those I love are safe. I love you and our team so much. You are my family. And please don't believe for a second that I don't love you. You showed me what happiness was after my dark past.

Robin took Starfire into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you too. Please never leave me again. Come back to earth with me." Starfire straightened up and looked into his sapphire blue eyes. "I would love to."

Robin smiled and he kissed her. They laid in each other's arms and they fell asleep. Raven cracked the door open and smiled. "I don't think we are going to see any more of Robin and Starfire tonight." Cyborg looked up. "Why?"

They walked back to the door and they all smiled as they shut the door. Robin woke up and he looked around the room as Starfire slept. His eyes rested on the picture on her nightstand. The picture of Starfire and her family. He looked at Blackfire in the picture.

Her arms were crossed and she was frowning. Starfire had her arms around her neck with the biggest smile on her face. She and her brother looked like their father. But she had the beauty of her mother.

Blackfire looked just like her mother. But she had a hardness that was the opposite of her sister. He also noticed the armband Starfire war match the one her mother was wearing. Robin got up and continue to look around the room.

His eyes rested on the frame laying face down. He picked it up and he looked at it and confusion. It was a younger Starfire standing next to a young man with dark brown hair. They both looked uncomfortable. "Robin?" He turning look at Starfire. "Morning."

Starfire smiled and her eyes went to the frame in her boyfriend's hand. "You found that. I actually forgot about that picture."

Star, if you don't mind me asking, who is that?" Starfire got up and walked to him. "This was my fiance." Robin's jaw dropped. "Your what?!"

Starfire sighed. "Back when my parents were still alive, they planned for me to marry a prince of Tamaran. That way when I was to take the throne, my husband was already chosen."

"Like I said before, my betrothed is chosen by the Grand Ruler of Tamaran, and this was just before they died. He was my fiance. We met while we were being taught how to fight on Okaara."

"My father decided to marry me off to Prince Karras once I became of age. But Galfore has broken that engagement. I am with who I choose. Even if it was still in effect, I would have broken the engagement. You are the only person I want to be with."

Robin nodded. "Perhaps you would like to look around Tamaran? We really haven't had a chance." Robin smiled and nodded. They traveled to the marketplace of Tamaran. "Hello your highness." Said a little girl. Starfire smiled. "Hello." She said sweetly.

'Her people here really do love her. Can't blame them, she's so beautiful and strong. Starfire smiled at her subjects as they greeted her. Starfire to Robin's hand as they walk through the rest of the marketplace. "It really is a beautiful planet." Said Robin.

"I am just glad that most of the planet has reclaimed life. For so long from what I've been told, so much of the planet's stayed dead after the Gordanians attacked. They destroyed so much of the planet." Robin tightened his hand around hers. Starfire looked at Robin.

"I am sorry." He shook his head. "This is part of your past." Starfire stopped on the outskirts where a giant burned crater was in the ground. Robin looked over and noticed that there was fear etched in her face. He looked from her, to the crater, then back to her.

It clicked. This is where Starfire's parents died. This was where she stood her while her parents were killed. "Star, Star look at me." She looked at him. "It's okay. I'm here." She nodded.

"I haven't been here since it happened." She walked to the edge of the crater and she sat down, touching the edge. She closed her eyes as she relived the murders of her family. Tears filled her eyes. Robin sat behind her and hugged her. He rested his chin on her shoulder.

Starfire put her hands on his from his embrace. Starfire opened her eyes as she looked at the crater. She wished she could go back to that day. She wished she could fix everything. "Star, stop blaming yourself." She turned.

"How do you know what I am thinking?" Robin chuckled slightly. "Because I know you Starfire. I wish things were different. But everything happens for a reason." She faced him. "Thank you." Robin raised an eyebrow.

"For what?" Starfire smiled. "For helping me face my past." Robin nodded. "Of course." They leaned in and kissed. They felt an explosion and they heard glass breaking. They got up and looked up. The glass came from the castle.

"Galfore! The Titans!" Yelled Starfire. Starfire held out her hand to Robin. They flew in and there laid Galfore. Starfire ran over to him. Robin ran to look for the Titans. "Galfore! Can You Hear Me?!" Galfore coughed and open his eyes.

"Koriand'r are you alright?" She nodded in confusion. "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Starfire was struck with a starbolt. Starfire struggled to get up. She felt uncontrollable rage as she saw who was standing there. "You know what's so annoying little sister?"

Starfire picked herself up. "Is the fact that no matter what, you just can't stay dead. You just won't stay out of my way. But I have an idea." Blackfire landed. "Once and for all. One final battle sister. If you win, I will take whatever punishment you see fit."

"But if you lose, well you'll be too dead to argue." Starfire stood and she walked to her sister. The Titans stood in fear and worry. "I princess Komand'r of Tamaran hereby challenge you princess Koriand'r to a battle to the death. Do you accept?"

Starfire looked at her friends and her guardian who laid on the floor unconscious. She faced Blackfire. "I accept your challenge."
