She'll come back. Punch. She'll come back. Punch. She'll come back. Punch. I shouldn't have let her go. Punch. But she'll come back. Punch. I just have to wait. Punch. What if she doesn't come back? Punch. Nonsense Robin, she's coming back. Punch. Forever and a day. Punch. Forever and a day.

Silence filled the room as he leaned his head on the bag that had been taking a beating since her departure. She had been gone for a little bit over 24 hours and he had already bruised both his hands from constantly punching the bag. His body screamed at him to rest but he couldn't bare to go to his room and try to sleep.

With his mind racing, he wouldn't be able to go to sleep. Deciding he needed a drink of water, he went to the Ops room. The moon brought light into the dark room. He got his glass of water and looked at the moon.

"I see you finally came out." A voice said as he turned around.

"You can't keep doing that."

Robin rolled his eyes, but she didn't see because of his mask. He remained silent as she walked over to him. "I know she meant a lot to you, but she meant a lot to us too." She said as she grabbed his hands.

"Raven," He began but she kept talking as she healed his bruises.

"Locking yourself away isn't going to help." She said as she finished healing his hands.

"Thank you." He said pulling his hands away from her.

"Starfire would not want any of us to be unhappy while she was away. You owe it to her to at least try and be happy." Raven continued as he turned away and looked out the window.

"You should get some rest, you are the leader of the team. We need you." She said as walked towards the elevator.

"Night Raven, thanks." He said as she waved when the elevator door closed. He chuckled as he saw the sun on the horizon. It had only been a day and it felt like a month.

"She'll come back. I just have to wait." He said pushing the thoughts of her not returning away.

One Month Later .

"Morning sleepyhead, haven't seen you in awhile." Cyborg greeted as he flipped a pancake.

"Morning Cyborg." He replied as he sat at the table by his self. Beast Boy was busy being a cat to annoy Raven while she drank her tea.

"Breakfast's ready." Cyborg said as he put the food on the table. Beast Boy and Cyborg began talking about the football game while Raven and Robin ate their food in silence. Their calm breakfast was interrupted by the loud alarm.

"Awww man. I was enjoying this." Cyborg said as he and Beast Boy ate or shoveled there food into their mouths.

"Who is it?" Robin asked as they all ran to the garage. "Looks like Plasmus." Cyborg said as he got in his car while Robin got on the R Cycle.

"Again? Doesn't he ever give up?" Beast Boy asked as he turned into a Pterodactyl while Raven hovered over everyone.

"Guess not." Raven said as they all went to the city.

As they arrived, Plasmus threw plasma at them. Beast Boy crashed to the ground as one of the plasma balls hit him.

"Ugh, this gunk." He said as he stood in the sticky mess. "Titans, GO!" Robin yelled as he threw a bird a rang at him.

Plasmus absorbed the bird a rang. Robin whipped out his Bo staff and ran towards him. Cyborg blasted him in the stomach and a big gaping hole was left.

"Argh!" Plasmus yelled as the hole reformed into his stomach.

"Azerath Mentrios Zenthos." Raven chanted as she threw a bus at him. Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and charged at him. Cyborg constantly blasted him while Robin hit him on the leg with his Bo staff. Plasmus exploded all over all of them.

"Ew." Raven said as she stood in it next to Beast Boy. They all stared at the pale man laying in the fetal position, unconscious.

"Great job." A voice said as the Titans surrounded the man. Robin recognized the voice and turned around. He froze at who was before him.

"Why are you here?" He questioned.

"Batman sent me, he heard of you missing a fifth player and Gotham has gotten so boring without you." She purred as she walked over to the group. Robin glared at her as the other Titans looked at her.

"Get ready to go back because my team doesn't need you." Robin shot back.

"Come on Robin. Please don't send me back. I'll make a good fifth player." She said as she batted her green orbs at him.

"Uh, Robin, who is exactly is this chick?" Cyborg questioned as the girl flipped her red hair.

"I am Batgirl." She said motioning to the Batman logo on her uniform. Beast Boy and Cyborg nodded while Raven looked to Robin to explain where she came from.

"We used to be Batman's sidekicks." He murmured. "Sidekicks?" Raven repeated.

"Yes, then Robin left to make this team." Batgirl said.

"Anyways, we don't need a fifth team member. Starfire's gonna come back." He stated as he walked past her.

"Aw, Robin come on." She pleaded.

"It would be nice to have another girl other than Raven." Beast Boy thought out loud which earned him a death glare from Raven.

"Robin, maybe you should give her a chance. Five titans is better than four." Cyborg admitted. Raven glared at the both of them as the quickly shut their mouths.

"Two out of three of your teammates agree with it." Batgirl said as she crossed her arms. Robin stood by the R Cycle looking down.

"Team meeting at the tower, now." He said as he got on and sped away. They all looked to Batgirl and just as fast as Robin disappeared, they did the same. Batgirl groaned and stumped her foot.

Meanwhile.

"Just what in the hell do you think your doing? Why would send her here!" Robin yelled at the big screen in front of him.

"I suggest you calm yourself."

"It's Batman!" Beast Boy exclaimed running into the Ops room.

"I left because I was tired of taking orders from you! Now you've sent Batgirl and expect me to just take her in!" Robin yelled as the Dark Knight yawned.

"Calm down Robin, she wanted a change of scenery so I gave her one. Everyone in the Justice League knows of the Tamaranian war and that one of our own is out there, well one of our honorable own. Your little girlfriend will be back and Batgirl will come back to Gotham. As long as you have four members, Batgirl is staying. And that's an order." He said as he turned off the connection.

Robin groaned out of frustration.

"So, Batgirl's staying?" Beast Boy asked as Robin turned to face his three team members.

"Until Starfire comes back." He said as he stormed away with his cape following him. Raven sighed at her leader, he had no idea how to deal with his emotions.

"Wonder why Batgirl's such a big deal to him." Cyborg said as he went to the table to clean up breakfast. "When is she getting her anyways?" Beast Boy asked.

"What is wrong with you two!" Raven yelled making the lights flicker. They both stopped and looked up at the angry girl.

"Clearly, Robin does not want Batgirl here because she would be taking Starfire's place on the team and it would seem like Starfire would never be coming back." Raven explained as she closed her eyes.

"Damn." Cyborg murmured as he put his hand on his head.

"So then what do we do?" Beast Boy asked. "Make Batgirl want to leave." Raven stated as she smiled evilly.

The Next Day.

"Morning sleepyhead." Cyborg said as he prepared French toast.

"Morning Cy." Robin responded as he entered the Ops room with only his pajamas on. Beast Boy had not awakened yet so Raven was quietly enjoying her book on the couch. Robin and Cyborg babbled about Cyborg's electronics and the R Cycle.

Their conversation and Raven's reading time was interrupted by an unexpected face that came in the room.

"Mornin' Titans." She greeted as she sat next to Robin. Cyborg kept his attention to his cooking while Raven kept hers to her book.

"How did you get in here?" Robin questioned as she scooted closer to him while he scooted away. "Robot man's not the only one who is good at cracking codes." She replied grinning. "It's Cyborg." Robin corrected noticing that she wasn't wearing her uniform, or mask.

"What's wrong? Don't act like you've never seen my face before, Richard." She said whispering his name so only he could hear. He quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her into the elevator.

"Look Barbara," He said making and emphasis on her name, "You are only here until Starfire returns. Is that clear?"

She smirked as he let her arm go and the elevator went up.

"Crystal. Why don't you ever take your mask off?" She asked as he turned away.

"Why don't you ever keep yours on?" He replied as he waited for the elevator doors to open. She sighed and put her arms on his shoulders.

"Get off." He said not turning around.

"Why." She whined. "I've missed you." She slid her hand down to caress his chest but he turned around and moved her hands away.

"Stop." He ordered as she smiled. The elevator stopped and she pressed the close button to keep the door from opening. Robin rolled his eyes as the elevator went down. She smirked as she pushed him up against the wall.

As he opened his mouth to protest, she forced hers onto his.

"Dude." Beast Boy said as he and the other Titans stared as the elevator doors opened.
