Tear stains clung to her face and itched her when Starfire awoke. She looked at the space next to her and found it empty. So Robin did not come after all. Holding her tears back from falling again, she got up and threw some fresh clothes on herself, then headed to the Common Room.

As she entered, she realised she was the first one to awake this morning. Glancing at a clock on a wall, she saw that it was only eight o'clock. Then she looked at where she left Robin, and she gasped as he was still there, passed out, his head on the keyboard and one hand still on the mouse, the other hanging from the desk. "Robin!" She called, rushing over to him and picking his near to lifeless body up by the shoulders. At first he did not stir, but then he slowly opened his eyes and blinked, seeming puzzlee as to what he was doing here.

"Star? W-what happened?" He stuttered, studying his surroundings before the memory of last night came back to him. He was working on trying to find information on the unknown villain named Arion until he ended up falling asleep a couple of hours ago. Another thing he remembered was Starfire bothering him in some way, trying to distract him or something, he did not recall that completely.

"Are you okay?" She questioned urgently, placing her hands on his pale face. He put his own hands over hers, which gave her a split second of happiness, when she realised he only did that to push them off.

"I'm fine," he answered plainly, still not quite remembering what she did but wanting to keep their contact to a minimum for now.

"Please, what is wrong?" She begged, not understanding why he was so offish with her.

"Nothing, I'm fine," he repeated, heaving himself up and off of the chair, supporting himself with his arms against the desk. Star sighed. He was not about to tell her anything.

Bright morning light streamed in on Beast Boy's face, waking him up. He gave a displeased groan, twisting and turning, attempting to find a position where the sun rays would not reach him. To his disappointment, he could not find many shady areas, and when he did find one it was highly uncomfortable and there was no way he would be able to fall back asleep. Finally he gave up and opened his tired eyes, creating a mental note to get some curtains. He had a late night yesterday, and now regretted not heading to bed when Raven and Cyborg did. Raven. For some reason he got a strange feeling when he thought of her now, the memory from yesterday urging him to remember. Suddenly it came to him. The argument they had. How he stormed out of her room. He had to apologise.

Hastily he whipped on clean uniform, then started sprinting out of his room and to hers. He was so determined to get there as fast as possible that he did not see her and banged right into her as she stood in the hallway. He tried to slow himself down desperately, digging his heels into the floor, and she went to step away, however both their efforts had been wasted as he collided into her. She was about to fall back but he quickly grabbed her by the waist (partly to steady himself), and they stayed in that position from the shock of how fast everything just happened.

"I'm so sorry Raven, I didn't see you, I was about to go and apol-"

"No it's alright, I was going to your room to say sorry to you as well."

"Oh," Beast Boy said, not really knowing how to react. Usually he was the one apologising, rarely did she do it to him.

"Thank you for catching me, but could you please let me go now?" Raven awkwardly asked, trying to not sound demanding, and as BB glanced down he noticed that he was still holding onto her. Feeling his cheeks go red, he released his grip on her waist.

"Sorry, about this and last night, I should not have got so angry at you for no reason."

"I think you had reason enough, I shouldn't of judged you and I'm really sorry," she said, looking to the side.

"Hey don't be sad, you're not the first or the last," he told her with a grin, "we'd better head down to the Common Room and eat some breakfast, I'm not cooking today."

Strong scents filled their senses as they walked in one behind the other. They knew what that meant; Cyborg was cooking! He was their best cook and they always loved his meals.

"What took ya guys so long? It's ten already," Cyborg said, raising an eyebrow.

"We were just talking," Beast Boy answered simply, going to the kitchen and serving himself.

"Since when do you and Raven talk?" He pressed on, receiving an angry glare from BB. There was an odd sort of tension in the room, and at first none of them could figure out what it was, until they realised that Starfire and Robin were strangely quiet and sitting far away from each other. Usually they were all over each other, especially at breakfast time.

"Uh, Robin, Starfire, you guys okay?" Cyborg asked, walking over and sitting in one of the seats in the massive gap between them. The two looked at each other as if silently arguing who was going to answer, then Star's sight fell to the ground. Robin sighed as he knew he was going to have to reply, and he didn't know how to.

"Just fine," he lied, making sure not to make eye contact with any of them. He knew they would not believe him anyway, but it was worth a shot.

"We can see something's up," BB joined in, sitting himself down next to Cyborg, Raven the other side.

"Could we please not talk about it?" Robin pleaded, standing up.

"C'mon man, what happened?" Cyborg asked.

"I already told you, nothing," persisted Robin.

"Dude, your lies aren't convincing us."

"It's not lies, it's the truth, now please stop worrying about us and start thinking about our mission. I have not found much of interest yet, apart from that he is extremely powerful and never lost any fights so far. He is deadly, and he wants us, so we can not waste any time. Raven, try and locate him with your powers, I will be on the computer trying to find anything else and speaking to witnesses and the police, the rest of you go and search the city."

Starfire glared at him. Even after falling out he was still ordering her around as if she meant nothing to him, referring to her as 'the rest of you'. This both angered and hurt her, and not wanting to show just how much it meant to her she stood up and ran out of the Common Room.

"Dude, you must've done something really bad to upset her like this," BB commented, watching her leave. "I'll go and see if she's alright." With that he ran out after her. He knew what a bastard Robin could be, especially at hard times like these when they did not know their enemy was planning. He managed to catch her as she went into her room, and he grabbed her hand to prevent her from going in. She looked down into his eyes, her own filled with tears. While he has grown a lot since he was a teenager he was still slightly shorter than her.

"Starfire, what's wrong? What did Robin do?" He questioned her, and she pulled him into the room then sat down on her bed, her hand still being held by him.

"H-he just always pushes me away and shouts at me," she said, looking down at the carpet and fighting to hold back her tears.

"Maybe he was just a bit busy?" BB asked gently, trying to resolve the issue logically before jumping to any conclusions. Star shook her head weakly.

"I waited so long, I just wanted to say good night and he told me to go away and stop distracting him."

"Well, he can be a total jerk an-"

"Do not call friend Robin a jerk! But... sometimes... I just think he - does not care about me and does not love me."

"No! You must not think about it that way, one thing I know for sure is that he definitely loves you and would do anything for you, he cares about you more than anything else in the world, I promise. He just gets too caught up in his job sometimes and it may seem like it, but he always keeps you in his thoughts somewhere."

"Are you sure?"

"Certain," Beast Boy said with a smile. At least he knew how to make someone feel better, even if it wasn't Raven. Sighing, he knew that even if Robin was a total jerk and hurt her, they still had to obey his orders, because if he was good at one thing it was at being their leader. "We should go and get Cyborg then get on with the patrol, maybe some time apart will do a bit of good for you."

At the same time, a heated argument was going on between the other three titans.

"Ya had to do something to make her like this, she don't get this bad over nothing!" Cyborg shouted. Starfire was like a little sister to him, and he would do anything to defend her.

"I usually would not go against you, Robin, but I must agree with Cyborg on this one," said Raven, her face remaining emotionless even as Robin glared furiously at her.

"You wouldn't like it if someone was being clingy to you and distracted you from your important work!" He snapped back.

"Distracted ya from ya important work? That's it? First of all ya had not found much so it can't be that important, secondly she's your girlfriend and she cares about you, be happy at least you got er cuz I have no idea how she puts up with ya so long, sorry mate but ya had to hear the truth," he added as Robin gritted his teeth together.

"I've had enough of this pointless conversation, go and get on with your job, Raven try and locate Arion and Cyborg get the other two and search the city." Cyborg muttered something inaudible under his breath as he stormed out as far away from him as possible, and Raven followed him out but to her own room. Once he made sure they left, he bashed his fists againt the desk that had the computer on it, unleashing his anger.
