Chapter 12

One step closer Part II

They continued through the park. Robin sat her on the bench. "I got you something for our anniversary." She smiled. "I got you something too." Robin reached into his pocket and handed her a black jewelry box. She took it with a smile and opened it.

"Oh Robin! It's beautiful!" she said Robin smiled. "I'm glad you like it. It has the same name as you. It's called a starfire." Starfire looked at admired the jewel on the chain. "It's beautiful. I love it."

She handed it to Robin, so he could clasp it around her neck. "I don't know if you would like this, but here." She handed him a box. He opened it. It was a dark green jewel. "Wow, this is awesome. Thank you." He said, admiring the jewel.

"I made it. It's the core of one of my starbolts. I was able to cool one enough to make that for you." His eyes widened as he looked at his girlfriend. He took the jewel out and saw that it was attached to a black chain.

He looked on the back and saw that there was an inscription. "M'wrly D'jpth?" He asked, looking at her. She blushed. "Sorry, I wrote it in Tamaranian. It translates to my only love in your language." Robin kissed her.

"It's perfect. I love it." She smiled. "I am so glad. Doing the shopping for the boyfriend is quite harder on this planet than my own." Robin smiled and kissed her. "No matter what you got me, I would love it. Because it was from you."

Starfire smiled and leaned and kissed his sweetly. "I love you Starfire." He whispered into her ear. Starfire closed her eyes and smiled. "And I love you as well Robin." They kissed again. Starfire looked around.

"I never realized how beautiful Gotham really is." She said, still looking around. "Yeah, it has its charming moments. But it also has a dark side." Said Robin. Robin looked at her. "If there wasn't a dark side, then there wouldn't have been a reason for you to become the boy wonder."

"And then our team never would have been formed. We never would have been together." Robin nodded. "I agree. I am grateful we have a dark side in Jump City." They continued through the park. Starfire shivered slightly.

Robin put his jacket over her shoulders. She smiled as she took in Robin's spice scent. "Perhaps we should return to the tower?" asked Starfire. Robin nodded. "Yeah, let's go home babe." She nodded. They walked back to the car hand in hand.

Today had been perfect. Robin was grateful that he finally had everything that he needed and wanted. He had an amazing girlfriend, a great team, and a job he loves. He couldn't ask for more. They arrived home late.

The tower was dark, showing that the rest of the team was asleep. Starfire took Robin's hand and led him to her room. She shut the door. She walked over and kissed him. She ran her fingers through his hair. She ran her fingers from his hair to his shoulders, pushing the jacket from his shoulders. Robin unclipped her hair and it fell in loose ringlets. Her fingers trailed down his chest, unbuttoning his shirt. Robin stopped and looked into her eyes. "Star, are you sure? I don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do. I want to make sure that you're ready." He said, huskily.

She laid her head on his. "I'm sure. I want to be with you, M'wrly D'jpth. I trust you." Robin nodded, and leaned in, reclaiming her lips. His hand went to her zipper. Her dress slipped down her body. They broke apart and looked in each other's eyes.

Starfire looked down, and unbuttoned his pants, them sliding down his hips. Starfire laid on the bed, pulling Robin on top of her. She went to his neck, nipping at it. Robin moaned lowly. Robin ran his hands from her jaw and ran them down her body, them resting on her hips.

He slipped them over quickly, pulled her closer to him. His hand went up to her bra clasp, unhooking it in one fluid motion. "So beautiful." He said huskily. Starfire smiled as she allowed her bra to slip down her arms.

His hands went down to the waistband of her underwear. He looked into her beautiful green eyes. "I'm okay Richard. I swear to you." She slid his boxers off. Robin reclaimed her lips, and they became one. Robin woke up the next morning spooning his beautiful girlfriend, her sweet strawberry scented hair surrounded him.

Starfire smiled as she felt her boyfriend wake up. She turned over to look into his blue pools. "Morning, M'wrly D'jpth." She said with a sweet smile. "Morning baby. How are you this morning?" he asked with a smile.

"Perfect. I am perfect. Last night was perfect. Nothing in the world can spoil this right now." Robin smiled and kissed her. "Are you hungry? I think that Cyborg is making breakfast." she nodded. "Yes, let's go and break the fast."

Robin laughed. They walked into the kitchen hand in hand. "You guys came in late last night." Said Cyborg with a smile. Robin glared at him while Starfire blushed. They all ate and talked. "Any trouble last night?" asked Robin.

"Nothing we couldn't handle." Said Cyborg. They finished breakfast. Cyborg went to go and work on his car. Beast Boy headed to the common room to play a game. Raven went to meditate. Starfire faced Robin.

"Want to go and train a little?" he nodded. They went outside to the arena. Starfire took her bo staff out and Robin took his escrima sticks, spinning them in his hands. They sparred. She swept her staff under his legs, tripping him.

He fell on his back. He jumped back up. They battled, their weapons clanging off one another. Starfire blocked his escrima sticks with her staff. She turned quickly and went to hit Robin with the staff. She was blocked.

She blocked his kick with her staff. She pushed him away from her. He did a backflip in midair and landed. "I'm still amazed at your fighting style." She smiled.

"Well, my parents sent me to Okarra when I was four in earth years to learn to fight. I picked up a little in the four years I was there." Robin nodded. "Rob!" They turned to look over at Cyborg. "What's up?" he asked as they headed over to him. "You're needed in the common room. You have a visitor." Starfire looked at Robin who shrugged. They walked to the room and they stood in shock at who was standing there.

"What are you doing here?" asked Robin. "I need your help. Some kind of alien race has come and attacked Gotham. Batman was injured but after getting patched up he went back out and now we can't get in contact with him."

"Even Alfred is worried. Please I need your help Robin." Said Batgirl. Robin crossed his arms. "Do you want just my help?" he asked, crossing his arms. "Or can you accept the help of a alien?" asked Starfire. "I could use anyone's help."

Robin looked at Starfire and looked at Batgirl. "Okay, fine. Looks like we're going to Gotham." Beast Boy jumped up and down. "Sweet! We can finally see Gotham. And meet the big bad bat himself." Said Beast Boy. They all looked at him with annoyance. "Okay Titans, let's move out. We're going to Gotham." Said Robin.
