Location: Earth - Jump City - Titan Tower

It has been three days since the incident with Blackfire.

Robin immediately notified the Justice League which picked the at that point still unconscious Blackfire up and brought her to the Watch Tower.

Batman told them that 'they would take it from here' and that was the last thing they heard about the Blackfire incident, for now atleast.

Everything returned to normal, all except for Starfire who was in thoughts\depressed since the incident.

She was so out of herself that she even allowed to go into her room despite the presents also being in the room.

This confused the A.I even more than usual, it was used to not be allowed in at this time of the year, it still tried but his calculations already knew the answer.

This Error in the Calculation was too much for the small BOT it needed an update from his Master.

Once it reached Cyborg's Room he went up to him and asked: "MASTER. I FOUND A DISCREPANCY IN THE BEHAVIOR OF ANOTHER USER WHICH I NEED CLEARANCE FOR."

Needless to say, Cyborg was confused. 'A discrepancy in one of the Titans? What does he mean?' thought Cyborg.

"Clarify." was the simple order he gave the robot.

"EARLIER I TRIED TO CLEAN THE ROOM OF USER:02 'Starfire' I'M USED TO THE FACT THAT FOR SOME NOT UNDERSTANDABLE REASON AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR I'M NOT ALLOWED TO CLEAN THIS ROOM. HOWEVER FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON USER:02 'Starfire' ALLOWED ME THE ENTRANCE TODAY. THIS MAKES EVEN LESS SENCE THAN NORMAL."

This shocked Cyborg. The Starfire he knows would never allow anybody in her room during Christmas time not under any circumstances.
So what changed her so much that this would be an option?

'Only one way to find out..' the thought to himself.

"Ignore this Error for now. Continue your work cycle." he told the A.I.

"AS YOU WISH" the robot answered and left to continue cleaning.

Cyborg was walking towards Star's Room.

He had an idea what the reason for her sudden mood shift was. But he need confirmation.

Once at Star's door he knocked.

"Come in." answered a sad voice.

When Cyborg entered the room he saw Starfire sitting on her Bed in thoughts.

"Hello friend Cyborg. What brings you here?" she asked.

"The fact that you are sad is what brings me here Star." he said while walking up to her.

He sat next to her on the bed.

"Wanna talk about it?" Cy asked in a caring voice.

Star sighed and said: " It is about my sister. Despite everything, i never thought she was pure evil. And three days ago when she was here there was just something about her that was different."

"Got any idea what that difference was?" Cyborg asked.

Starfire thought for a moment "Her tone. She always talked in this sly mysterious voice which always hid a scheme.

But a few days ago this sly tone was not there. She sounded...genuine. I'm just afraid that we made a big mistake back there."

At this point Starfire started to weep.

"I see. But you also need to understand Robin's Point of View here. Considering all the Things Blackfire did back then got him alarmed. He just wanted to make sure nothing of it ever happens again." said Cyborg trying to comfort her.

"I know that! But there is also this here." she said while picking Blackfire's Necklace up from her legs.

Cyborg noticed the Necklace and said: "Hey that's Blackfire's Necklace. Now that i get a better look at it it's quite beautiful and probably also very expensive. How did she get her hands on something like that without stealing it?"

"I think i have an idea." said Star through her sobbing.

She pointed at the gold plate dangling behing the purple gem.

Cyborg read the engraving on the plate.

"E + K. Who does that refer to?"

Star tried to pull herself together, with little success and said "Well. K probably stands for 'Komand'r' which is my sisters real name."

Cy's Eyes wided "So you think it was a gift? That would explain alot."

She nodded and said "Yes. That's why i think we made a big mistake."

"Hmm. I'm also very concerned about whoever E is. Because he is not going to be happy about that." said Cyborg.

There was a silence between the Titans. Cyborg was trying to figure out how to calm Starfire and also what to do about the Problem.

He put a hand on her shoulder and said: "Come on, crying is not going to help anything. Let's go and watch some TV to cheer you up and then lets figure out what to do."

Star, which finally managed to pull herself together, said: "Ok. By the way how did you know that i was sad to begin with? I didn't tell anybody."

At that Cyborg just laughted and said: "You always confuse the Cleaning Robot with your Christmas habits but it grew accustom to it. However that you actually let it in today confused it even more than usual. So it came to me to ask what was wrong with you."

Now Star was also laughing and said "Oh no. The poor thing. I didn't realize that it was THIS bad."

"Come on now. Let's go watch some TV." he said while getting up.

They were still talking and laughing the way back to the living room that they failed to notice that Mr. Clean was watching them.

At this point it was completely confused. It gave up trying to find out what's up.
