"Cyborg! Beast Boy! Raven!" called Starfire, flying down the hall to the living room nervously. All three of them were sitting on the couch—Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games, Raven sitting next to Beast Boy reluctantly. Every few seconds, Beast Boy would slightly elbow Raven who, taking an obvious cue, would unenthusiastically say, "Go Beast Boy. Yay."
"Friends!" said Starfire, standing firmly in front of the TV ("Oh, come on!" "Get out of the way, Star!" "I was just about to win!" "If I lose this game because of you, Star—'' Angry calls from the guys flooded the living room) "I have a question of the utmost importance for you!"
"Star, we're in the middle of a game!"
"Yeah, c'mon Star—''
"He's almost dead—''
"I was just about to win—''
"PLEASE BE QUIET!" Starfire yelled, immediately silencing everyone. "I believe I have already said that I have a question of the utmost importance!"
"Well, um, what is it, Star?" said Cyborg after a long, shocked pause.
"Robin has received a transmission from my sister."
"Oh no," said Raven, the "oh" very, very long and the "no" very, very short. Starfire continued.
"And she told him that they should 'start back where they left off'. Please tell me what is going on here."
"So, Raven," said Beast Boy quickly, "Ready for that date?"
"Yes, I am definitely ready for that date."
"Well! We're going on a date! Cyborg, you go on and tell her about it, okay, buddy?"
"But—'' but the two of them were already out the door. Cyborg sighed. "Starfire, I can't tell you. It's not any of my business what Robin and Blackfire did—''
"What do you mean, 'What Robin and Blackfire did'? Did they…Do something?"
"Starfire, don't you mess up what I said! All I said is that I am not allowed to tell you anything—''
"So, then, Robin is keeping something about him and Blackfire from me, correct?"
"No—I mean, yes—I mean—Starfire—!''
"Please, if Robin is keeping a secret from me I would like to know it." Cyborg paused.
"Fine. But don't you ever tell Robin I told you. You, um, might wanna sit down for this one." Star looked confused, but sat.
"See, when Blackfire first came here, she and Robin…Um…Had…A…Thing."
"What kind of a 'thing'?"
"A…thing…Like…Like what you and Robin have now, except you actually care about Robin. Blackfire didn't."
"You mean…My sister was…Robin's…Girlfriend?" Starfire looked crushed.
"Well, I wouldn't say girlfriend, she just sort of, um…They just…She…She convinced him, and he—he's a teenage boy, Starfire, you've gotta cut him some clack—and so—'' But Cyborg stopped out of sheer terror. Starfire's eyes were blazing green and her breathing was getting heavier with rage.
"There will be pain!" she whispered angrily, standing up and marching to Robin's room, her footsteps so heavy they echoed. Cyborg gulped out of anxiousness for Robin. He wanted to warn him so bad, but that would mean going in front of Starfire…Maybe Robin didn't need to be warned…
