Whelp, now Robin and Starfire are broken up, so Robin goes to Gotham City and decides to stay with Batman for a while; he's gonna do a lot of self-checking.

But don't worry! He's still gonna make his appearances!

As for the RobStar fans, I know you're upset-I am too...RobStar is a big part of this story, as well as the BBRae. They're like two halves of a whole. This is a double-pairing story. But unfortunately, Fanfiction only allows one pairing at a time...

And I repect that. Because this has more BBRae in it. (It is listed under Beast Boy and Raven is it not? xD)

Anyways, that's all. :)

2 Weeks Later

Knock knock knock

Raven sensed who it was, sighing as she sat up straighter in bed, book still open in her lap.

"Come in, Starfire," she said.

Starfire came in, and the door slid closed behind her. Since Robin's departure, she was becoming more anti-Starfire by the second. Currently, she was wearing a black and white plaid shirt that was a little too big for her (okay, a lot), and baggy black pants. Her hair was tangled, and her bangs hung in her face to try to hide the fact that she had been crying.

Of course, everyone could see through her, but didn't bother to say anything about it.

Unless you were Raven, of course. Then you'll tell her straight that-

"You look terrible."

Starfire made a face, her smile sarcastic. "I feel terrible, thanks so much for doing the asking." She plopped herself down next to Raven.

Raven closed her book and sighed. "Starfire..."

"Please, let's not talk about..." Starfire took a deep breath. "Him."

"Fine. We won't talk about him." Raven and Starfire had made a little thing between them to not talk about Robin. It savored Starfire's tears. "Why're you here?"

"Our friends are playing the video games and eating," Starfire explained. "I am in no mood for playing the video games nor eating."

"Starfire, you're already thin enough as it is. You need to eat."

"I am not hungry."

Raven placed her book on her bedside table. "And I'm not taking your shit." She yanked Starfire to her feet, grabbing her hand, and led the way out her room.

"Raveeeen," Starfire whined. "I do not wish to-"

"You've been telling me that ever since he left," Raven growled. "I'm not buying it. You're going to eat."

"But-"

Raven stopped walking abruptly, turning on Starfire, and let her demon eyes come out. Starfire cowered back.

"Well, would you hear my nine stomachs growling?" Starfire said as lightly as she could muster.

"Much better," Raven approved, her eyes going back to normal, and she continued to tug Starfire along.

The Ops doors opened, and the girls walked through. Apparently Cyborg and Terra were going against each other in a fighting game, and Beast Boy was whooting and chanting-alternating between sides.

Beast Boy looked over his shoulder, saw Raven, and smiled before looking back. He had a feeling he was gonna leave soon.

"I'll make you a sandwich," Raven muttered to Starfire, and she got out bread, deli meat, cheese, mayo, and mustard. "That okay?"

Starfire was quiet, standing there awkwardly as she watched. Making a sandwich took no time at all. Raven handed Starfire her plate, and she crossed her arms.

"Raven..." Starfire closed her eyes. "I am...so sorry."

"For what?"

"For being...a bad friend and-"

"You're going through a tough time. That's understandable."

Starfire shook her head. "That's no excuse." She put her plate down, then embraced Raven tight. "Please forgive me, Raven! I didn't mean-!"

"'S okay..." Raven rubbed Starfire's back.

"I promise I'll try to get better!"

"Will you eat?"

"Yes!"

"Will you attempt to be more like yourself?"

"Yes!" Starfire sniffed.

Raven nodded. "Good." Starfire released her, and Raven gripped her shoulders lightly. "Now go eat."

Starfire smiled. "Okay."

Raven watched her leave, crossing her arms again.

It wasn't a surprise to see a man rob a woman when the opportunity comes. Every time it was at night, and the woman would look very wealthy and vulnerable. It was also up to the robber whether or not to take just the purse.

If you catch the drift.

And tonight was no different. A beautiful brunette woman was walking down the street, heels clicking behind her. She was wearing a tan trench coat with a hat to match, the rest of her outfit concealed. Carrying a purse confidently on her arm, her ruby red lips pulled up at the corners, she was destined to reach her destination.

Unfortunately, arms constricted around her, pulling her into the dark alley with a sharp yank; when moonlight could shine no more, she was thrown on her back on the hard, cold ground.

She gasped and whimpered, feeling a pistol graze against her nose.

"Don't move!" the man hissed, and she felt her purse being yanked from her hands. The man searched through it hungrily, finding her wallet; he smiled in the darkness, finding 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's, and a lot of 1's too.

"Heh…" He chuckled darkly. "Perfect."

All of a sudden, his body was flying backwards as someone slammed into him. A hand enclosed around his throat, keeping him up against the wall. The impact was so strong that it knocked the wind out of him, and the purse and wallet out of his hands.

"Run!" a female voice hissed, and the brunette woman ran away-sobbing-as fast as she could, grabbing her purse but also leaving her wallet. At the moment she just simply didn't care.

The robber glared as moonlight provided a dramatic lighting, recognizing the voice.

"Hey, you're that alien red head from Teen Titans!" he accused.

"Nope. Try again," the voice sneered, and the light shown across her face. A dark haired Tamaranian girl with purple eyes held a mischievous smile pulling at the corner of her lips. She was wearing a black and purple plaid shirt, and black shorts. Her feet were dirty from walking barefoot. Her physique was a little slimmer from lack of food, and her long hair was in tangles.

"You pathetic little toxin…" Blackfire said gently, tightening her grip around the robber's throat, making him wheeze. "Lemme guess. You're just a broke man, looking for a beautiful woman to feed on and cash to steal. Am I right?"

The robber didn't answer, for his windpipe was blocked from air flow. She wanted it that way on purpose.

"That's what I thought…" Blackfire continued quietly, looking at the ground. "Too bad I don't pity you." She looked back up at his now pale face, baring her teeth, and she dropped him to the ground. The robber moved no more.

Blackfire sighed, walking towards the wallet. She hadn't been in Jump City for long, and she wasn't planning on paying sister dear a visit either. After doing a few more years in prison, she was called back to the courtroom, where the judge had decided to ban her from Tamaran forever. Guards 'escorted' her to Earth, where she was forced to stay for the rest of her life. If any of the higher authorities caught her elsewhere, her next sentence would be death.

"Hmm…" said a mysterious voice. "Nice work, cutie. I never thought you'd be the hero type."

Blackfire whirled around, seeing a dark shape jump off the building, landing lightly on his feet and walking towards the light in his direction. And she had never seen this guy before. He was wearing a black bodysuit, with a red-x placed over his left pectoral muscle, a grey utility belt with matching gloves that have red Xs on the palms and the back of his hands, black boots with steel-holes, and a black cape with a grey interior. His mask has a white skull on it, with no lower jaw, on a black full-face mask and another red X-starting on his forehead and with the point of the X ending beneath his right eye. The eyes of his mask have white reflective lens, and are outlined in black.

"Trust me, I'm no hero," Blackfire said to him.

"Well, I've been watching you for a while," he pointed out, coming closer. "You save young women like yourself from assholes like him," he jerked his head in the robber's direction, "and end up taking the money yourself. " He chuckled softly. "I must say, that's a twist I wasn't expecting."

"What are you, a stalker or something?"

"Nah, I'm just a thief looking out for number one," he said, sticking out his hand. "I'm Red X."

"Blackfire," the alieness replied, shaking his hand once.

"Blackfire, eh?" Red X smirked underneath his mask, and she could hear it in his voice. "You know…you remind me of that other alien Titan cutie. Any chance you two are related?"

"Older sister," Blackfire muttered, picking the wallet off the ground. She observed the cash inside it, as well as the credit and debit cards.

Red X watched her.

"May I help you with something, or do you need me to blast you out of the sky?" Blackfire said, hand lighting up.

"Go ahead. I've seen you fight," Red X said, completely relaxed, leaning up against the wall casually. "Pretty hot if you ask me."

Blackfire's eyes narrowed. "You sound familiar. Like…"

"Robin?" Red X guessed, and she nodded, arching an eyebrow. Red X laughed. "This suite used to belong to him, ya know. Up until I stole it. Seemed like he didn't need it anymore, so I thought, 'What the hell?'."

"And your voice?"

"The suit comes with a voice disguiser, so I sound more like him than I do myself."

"Clever." Blackfire slid the wallet in her butt pocket, crossing her arms. "If you claim to have been watching me for as long as I've been here, how come you never talked to me then?"

"Because you seemed distraught and upset, and I didn't want to bother you," Red X admitted. "Besides, it's not every day someone new catches my eye and I want to help them-"

"I don't need your help!" Blackfire snapped, just as the robber dragged himself off the floor. Clumsily, he raised a fist, and she swung her foot out, kicking him square in the face without tearing her gaze from Red X; the robber fell to the floor, now unconscious. "I don't need anybody's help either." She glared at him.

"If you don't need any help, then why don't you have a home?" Red X tested, and Blackfire's face fell just a little. "Why aren't you in better shape? When was the last time you showered? Why have you been wearing that same outfit for a week straight? Why do you go to the top of the hills, standing on the outskirts of the city, and start crying? Huh?"

Blackfire was silent. He really had been paying attention. She was just wondering why she hadn't noticed him until now.

"What about you, then?" she demanded, trying to get herself off topic.

"I have a home, sweetie, and most of the stuff I have, I've most likely stolen."

Blackfire cracked a smile. This kid was kind of funny.

"But I don't hurt people either," Red X continued. "I'm not one of those stereotypical thiefs, who hurt people, rob banks, and all that shit," he waved his hand dismissively. "Like you've been doing, I hurt the monsters who hurt others…then sorta steal from them. But that's only if they're rich. They don't need all that money anyways."

Blackfire bit her lip briefly, observing her surroundings.

"You don't wanna stick around someone like me," Blackfire said to him. "I…I've done too much damage in the past. If you knew…"

Red X shrugged, extending a hand. "Try me." When Blackfire arched her eyebrow again in disbelief, he added, "I may understand more than you know."

For the next few days, Starfire had tried very hard to get back to herself. She went out shopping. She cooked Tamaranian dishes for herself. She did the painting of toenails. She socialized with her teammates. On patrol, when there was trouble, she made sure that the children were saved first. She even signed a few autographs. One little girl with orange hair and freckles told her that she was her favorite hero and hugged the tall teen; Starfire was very flattered.

The following night, she was giggling at one of Beast Boy's jokes. Raven, who was wrapped up in Beast Boy's arms, was actually glad to feel Starfire's happy emotions. However, there was a moment where Starfire looked to her left, and saw that the seat was empty.

Her smile faltered slightly, and Raven sensed her loneliness.

"Excuse me please, I must...powder my nose!" Starfire lied, and she left the room quickly.

Raven sighed.

"Is she going to be okay?" Beast Boy asked her.

"She's not as bad as she was," Raven said in a relieved tone. "She seems stable enough. I'll probably check on her later."

"Until then, I'm gonna beat BB's ass in this race!" Terra said, her fingers rapidly pressing the buttons and triggers.

"Oh no you're not!" Beast Boy countered, and his fingers increased in tempo. Since Raven was in his lap, he had his arms around her torso so he could still play and like her closeness at the same time.

Cyborg just rolled his eyes.

Starfire sighed, her door closing behind herself. She sat in front of her mirror, observing herself. She was still in her costume. Getting back up, she looked through her closet for something else to wear. She chose a yellow tank top, and a long, flowing skirt with thin fabrics; it was pink, with some orange and yellow contrasts in it. Sitting down at her vanity again, she began brushing her hair; usually when she was bored, she used to love trying out different hairstyles and testing them out.

She decided to go with that, taking out her curling irons.

When her hair was warm, and in overlapping big waves, her laptop beeped. Head whipping around, she flew over to her desk and sat down. On the screen read:

Transmission Call From:

Unknown Location

With her nerves coming in bundles, she accepted the transmission.

And she couldn't believe who she was seeing. Sitting on the other side of the transmission was Robin, wearing no mask, his blue eyes holding a wary yet gentle gaze as he nervously smiled at her. His surroundings looked like he was in a bedroom.

"Hi," he said.

"Robin..." A smile that Starfire couldn't help spread across her face, playing with a strand of her hair. "Are you the okay?"

"I'm...better," Robin admitted, running his fingers through the back of his head. She could see that he was wearing his grey tank top again, and that his hair was mildly wet. "How are you?"

Starfire shrugged her shoulders. "I'm...the okay as well."

Robin smiled wider, his grin lopsided now. "Good. How's the team without me?"

"I admit, things are better now that I am."

Robin's smile left him. "Oh..."

"You see...when you left..." Starfire sighed, knowing that she couldn't keep anything from him. "I went through the depression. But Raven has done the assistance in helping me get better."

"I'm so sorry about that..." he murmured to her, looking at her from underneath his eyelashes. "And I regret what I said to you. I was wrong. I let my built up anger get the best of me. What I meant back then was that...I love you so much and sometimes you distract me-both good and in the bad way. Is there any way for you to forgive me?"

"Will you continue to call me?" Starfire wondered outloud.

"As long as you'd like," Robin answered.

"Then forgiveness may not take as long," Starfire said, flipping her hair over her shoulder on one side. "I appreciate that you did the admitting that you were wrong, but that still doesn't excuse the way you acted."

"I know," Robin sighed. "If you don't want us to be together now, then I'd like it very much if you were still my friend."

Starfire rested her cheek in her palm. "Of course I'll be your friend. I'll always be your friend. But maybe if we talk more when you get back...?"

Robin nodded.

Starfire leaned in more towards the screen. "So...where are your whereabouts? Or are you still not doing the telling?"

Robin chuckled. "I'm in Gotham."

"Oh! So you are visiting..." She lowered her voice. "You are visiting the Batman, correct?"

He nodded again. "Yes. I figured that, even though what happened between us in the past, he can still help me. The thing is, before me, he had to deal with Joker, Two-Face, and all of his worst enemies by himself. He had no team, but he was involved with the Justice League. But he went through most of his heroics by himself."

"Hmm..." said Starfire, playing with her fingers. Now she understood a little more. "Robin?"

"Yes?"

"Why didn't you tell the others where you were going, but now you're telling me?"

"Because I didn't know how they would react, and I figured that you guys probably didn't care anymore," Robin said. "Besides, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Terra would've flipped out and fainted if we were on better terms.

"Now that we're talking...I guess I can trust you, because you're the person who I trust the most."

Starfire smiled in relief. "Oh! That's glorious then!"

Robin chuckled.

Knock knock knock

"Who is it?" Starfire asked.

"It's me," came Raven's voice.

"And me!" Terra added impatiently.

"Whatever! Can we come in?"

Starfire looked back at Robin.

"Should I...?" Starfire whispered.

"I'll call you later," Robin whispered back, hearing a knock at his door.

"Promise?"

Robin smiled at her. "Promise. Bye, Star."

"Goodbye, Robin."

Starfire ended the transmission call. "Come in, friends!" she called out, fluffing her hair a little more as she sat down on the edge of her bed.

The door slid open, and Raven and Terra entered the room.

"Raven was close to knocking your door down," Terra snickered. She walked over to Starfire, sitting on Starfire's lap, wrapping an arm around her shoulder; her legs draped off Starfire's and onto the bed. This wasn't a problem, since Terra was a very light person considering her weight.

"That wouldn't be very kind," Starfire said thoughtfully.

Raven eyed Starfire curiously. "So...was that Robin's voice I heard?"

"And don't lie," Terra added.

Starfire's cheeks turned pink. "Maybe...it was Robin. We are on better terms."

"That's good." Raven was still skeptical, sitting down next to Starfire, and Terra lifted her feet to rest them on Raven's legs.

"What?" Starfire asked innocently.

"You're in a much happier mood," Raven explained.

"That...might be true." Starfire smiled at the ground. "He too seemed...happier. But he was sad when I told him that the Titans were in happier moods. I believe he thinks we don't miss him."

A green dog trotted in the room, followed by Cyborg, and Beast Boy morphed back to say-

"Don't miss him?! Are you kidding?! Rob's our best friend!"

"Um, excuse you," Raven said. "You weren't invited in."

Beast Boy stuck his tongue out at her playfully.

"Yeah," Cyborg said. "We were just mad at him because you were, Star."

"Well, she's not anymore," Terra said. "She just got through with a transmission call with him."

"For real?!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"Where the hell is he?!" Beast Boy demanded.

"He...prefers me not to say," Starfire said. "He trusts me the most..."

Cyborg and Beast Boy exchanged grins and wagging eyebrows.

"Uh huh..." Beast Boy said, then whispered to Cyborg, "He'll be back before you know it."

"I know right?"

How's that for a chappie? Got more characters involved! Whoo!

I know, you're missing some BBRae goodness. Well, you're gonna get soon, I promise! Just bare with me.

Review!
