Author's Note: Well, this chapter isn't going to be as exciting as the ones before it. I'm categorizing it as a necessary filler chapter. Basically, it's setting up the epic climax of this story. Which means we're getting close to the end of the story. Now, I'm considering writing a series of drabbles based off of this story, stuff like Kori and Richard training scenes, Wally trying to convince Jenny to come to the hero side, etc. PM me and let me know if that is something you'd want. Enough of that, on with the story!

DISCLAIMER: Disclaimed.

Chapter 11

I woke up the next morning and the first thing that registered was Richard's protective, loving hold on me. I open my eyes and smile at him.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Morning, handsome."

"Has anyone ever told you how cute your bedhead is?"

I laugh softly at him.

"At least one of us thinks so."

Richard grins and kisses my forehead. Then I realize what a terrible headache I have.

"Ugh… My head…"

"Need some ibuprofen before we start getting ready?"

"Yes, please."

Richard chuckles and goes to get me some medicine. When he returns, I've brushed my teeth and my hair.

"You brought your Starfire uniform, right?"

"Of course I did."

"Great. I've contacted the others and we'll start the meeting in about two hours. Think you'll be able to get in touch with your sister by then."

"Definitely. I'll meet you downstairs in two hours dressed and ready to go."

TWO HOURS LATER

"Alright Titans, you obviously know why we're all here."

"Before we start, are you going to yell at us over the party?"

"No, Beast Boy, we're here to talk about last night's alien invasion. Starfire has gotten in contact with her sister to gather more information about the Gordanians. Starfire, what did she tell you?"

I look around at my friends. They were all in attendance, even Kid Flash. I clear my throat to take the floor.

"My sister didn't have much more to tell me than what we already know. The Gordanians are nearing the end of a war with the people of my planet, they are a race of alien lizard monsters and they are inherently cruel to their prisoners. She said it's a miracle Robin and I have managed to escape them twice and since they seem determined to capture me for whatever reason, it is very likely that they will return again."

"Why would they want to kidnap you, Star?"

I shrug, but Raven pipes up.

"Well, you said that the Gordanians and Tamaraneans are working out their peace treaty. I'm not an expert on war, but maybe the Gordanians think if they capture Tamaran's princess, they'll be able to barter a better deal from the treaty."

We all nod in agreement; it's the best guess we have.

"Alright, we agree all we can do is keep our guard up to be ready for the next attack. On to our next order of business. Cyborg mentioned building a base on that rocky island off the shore of Jump. Cyborg, do you want to-"

Before Robin can finish his sentence, the alarm goes off. Robin goes to the computer to check what's going on.

"There's a bank robbery on 3rd. Titans, Go!"

We all run out to our various modes of transportation, but Robin stops me from flying off.

"Starfire, are you sure you're okay to fight?"

"I'm fine, Robin. You don't need to worry about me."

He gives a small smile and grabs his helmet for his R Cycle.

"I always worry about you."

I smile and roll my eyes at him before flying off. When we arrive at the bank, we are greeted by a man who calls himself Dr. Light. I highly doubt the validity of his doctorate.

"Freeze!"

Naturally, like any other villain whose hands are full of money bags, he doesn't freeze but instead continues running. Before any of us can attack him to slow him down, there's a pink flash and the street in front of him forms a pothole and trips him.

"Looks like today just isn't your lucky day."

While Robin goes to cuff Dr. Light, the rest of us turn to the source of the voice and flash.

It was Jinx. Kid Flash steps forward and we all watch him carefully.

"Jinx? Why are you helping us?"

"Well… I TRIED leading a team of villains called the Hive Five after SeeMore and Madame Rouge got arrested. And, to be perfectly honest, if I have to spend one more minute with those MORONS… Anyway, I decided to go rouge. And I don't expect any of you to trust me or forgive me. I just want you to know that I've changed. But if you have to take me to jail for my past, I understand."

Robin looks conflicted. Raven has to hold me back to keep me from attacking Jinx. Kid Flash looks like he could explode from joy. Poor kid really has it bad for her. Finally Robin speaks.

"I think we can overlook your past. For now. But the police might not be as forgiving so you might wanna leave now."

Jinx nod and runs away. The police arrive and take Dr. Light away. The Titans start to leave the scene of the crime, leaving me and Robin by his R Cycle.

"You saw it too, right?"

I nod.

"Jinx's magic… That wasn't what hit Vick's tires that night."

"If she didn't do it, then who did?"

DUN DUH DUUUUH! A mystery arises! When will it get solved? You'll just have to wait and see! Until then my lovelies, R&R! No, seriously, review. Your reviews are like crack to me; they're addictive and keep me motivated. -Starprincess
