Author's Note
Incase you read 'Teen Titans: Rise of Ender'.
This Story is not chronologically to it. It was born out of a Idea i had on night.
And once again. English is not my first language so don't lynch me if there are mistakes.
Date: 30.11.2009
Location: Earth - Jump City - Titan Tower
Everything seemed quiet in Jump City.
On days like these there was just nothing productive to do, in a crime fighting sense that is.
The Hive Five weren't heard from in weeks, no one knew what they were up to.
Since there was nothing to do everyone was minding there own business.
Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing Video Games, Raven was meditating in her room, Starfire was playing with Silkie and
Robin was keeping watch like the paranoid person that he is.
November was coming to an end. The days were getting shorter and colder every day.
The Mall was already busy selling Christmas themed items.
Christmas is Starfire's favorite time of the Year. Despite it not even being December yet, she already finished her Christmas shopping.
All gifts were already wrapped and hidden in Star's Room. Because of that Starfire doesn't let anybody into her room once she is finished with the presents.
This even includes Mr. Clean, as she calls him.
Mr. Clean is a Cleaning Robot build by Cyborg. It is capable of vacuuming, wiping and doing the laundry.
Despite it's A.I not being sentient, Star is not taking the risk.
This confuses the A.I greatly since it can't find a plausible reason why the entrance is not allowed.
After a while of processing the A.I just lets it go. And continues cleaning.
If it wouldn't be for the other Titans stopping Starfire the whole Christmas decoration would already be in place before december.
Robin was still keeping watch even though the others told him to 'calm down'.
They told him that the H.I.V.E probably also wants to have a calm and relaxing christmas.
While he knew that that was true. All the time he spend with Batman teached him that the evil never rests.
Or at least that's what Bruce always said.
But there was a good reason for that. He could clearly remember the Christmas where the Joker tried to ruin it for everybody.
Robin often though about what the others said. About the whole 'calming down' thing.
It might not appear like it. But he often wished he could.
Always being alerted, tears you down really fast.
He could clearly see it with Bruce.
Over the years the Batman became more and more of an empty emotionless shell.
Robin didn't want to end like that. This is one of the many reasons he left Gotham and came here to Jump City.
However being a team leader takes a toll on him.
He cares deeply for all of them that's why he is always on edge. So he can make sure they are safe.
His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed a black object approaching from the clouded sky.
He had no problem figuring out what it was.
He pressed a button on his communicator and said: "Titans! We have a problem. Everbody to the roof. Now!"
It did not take them long to get there. Starfire, who was there last because Silkie was clinging to her, was the first to identify to object.
"That.. that is." this was all she managed to say before Robin cut her off.
"Blackfire!" he said.
Blackfire was descending slowly towards them in order not to startle them.
This reminded her of a thing in the past to which she could only chuckle.
"If he would be in this situation he would probably just jump full speed onto the roof breaking it. Hah what a lovable dork." she said to herself.
She snapped herself out the day dream since she was getting close to Titan Tower.
'Ok Komand'r let's not make this awkward just talk to them' she thought to herself.
Once she reached eye level with them, she noticed that all of them except Starfire were already in Battle Position.
This lead to a few seconds of awkward silence.
The Titans were waiting for an attack while Blackfire didn't know what to say.
All of this sounded way easier in her head.
The tension was broken by Starfire who walked infront of the Titans and said: "Sister dearest! I haven't seen you in such a long time!"
Komand'r who was still lost of words only managed to say: "Oh uhm.. It it is also good to see you sister. uh yeah."
"Oh what a lovely necklace you got there sister!" Star said with obvious joy in her voice.
Blackfire's eyes wided for a moment. She completely forgot about her Endreilium Necklace.
"Ah yes, the Necklace, it is part of the reason i am here today. Uhm..."
She looked at the Titans which, even through the conversation she and her sister had, didn't move an inch, still in Battle Position.
"Ok guys listen. The important thing first, i'm not here to do anything bad." she said.
'Smooth' she thought to herself.
"You said that everytime you were here and you were always lying! I'm not taking chances here." said Robin getting ready to attack.
"What?! No no no no no! Please believe me i mean it. I changed!" Blackfire shouted.
"People don't change! I learned that the hard way! You probably just stole the Necklace again and want the hide it. Titans GO!" Robin shouted.
"NO STOP!" yelled Blackfire and Starfire simultaneously.
The fight took around 5 minutes. That is if you want call it a fight at all.
For five minutes the Titans, minus Starfire, where throwing attacks at Blackfire.
And for five minutes Blackfire was busy avoiding these attacks, not once striking back.
However the Battle ended abruptly when Blackfire took a strong unsuspected blow to the back of her head knocking her out immediately.
What she failed to notice was that Robin managed to sneak of the side and appear behind her hitting her with his staff.
"Good work Team! Get her downstairs, i will call the Justice League. They will take care of her." Robin said.
Cyborg picked the unconscious Blackfire up and carried her downstairs.
Robin was about to leave also when he was stopped by Starfire.
"What is it Star?" he asked in a caring voice.
"Say Robin. Do you really think people can't change? Because, there was something about my sister that was, different." Star said in a sad voice.
Robin let out a sigh and put a hand on Starfire's shoulder.
"Sadly i do believe that. Just think at all the times she betrayed us. I know you want her to change, i can understand that. But some People will never change. You have to accept that, as sad as it is." he said.
With that he turned around and walked downstairs leaving Star alone on the roof.
She noticed something on the ground and picked it up.
It was Blackfire's Necklace she must have lost it at some point during the fight.
Starfire admired the Necklace. It was truly beautiful. The biggest part was a relatively big purple Gem. The band was made out of a dark blue metal which Star didn't recognize. There were also some smaller Gems at the side. However what really caught her attention was a golden plate dangling behind the purple Gem.
After close examination she noticed an engraving which read: "E + K".
Star let out a sigh after seeing this and said: "I hope you are right Robin. Otherwise we made a big mistake."
