Robin woke up with Starfire's arms hugging him tightly as she carried on sleeping, her chest rising and falling as she breathed. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. He loved her so much, more than anything else in this world, even if he didn't show it all the time. As he held her closer she began to stir and eventually her beautiful eyes fluttered open, seeming a bit confused at first but soon it changed into a massive smile.

"Good morning, dear," Robin whispered.

"You have stayed," Starfire said happily.

"Of course I have, I promised, didn't I?" He replied, and the reunited lovers just looked into each others eyes for a minute or two. As much as they wanted to, they knew they couldn't just sit there forever though, enjoying their touch they hadn't felt in so long. Reluctantly they let go, and got up to get themselves dressed for the day ahead of them. Suddenly Robin remembered something, and he turned to Star, who was currently slipping the bottom half of her uniform on.

"Star, yesterday you and Raven were... laughing?" He asked, puzzled.

"Yes?" She bounced back the question, not knowing why he was asking it.

"Well, uh, I was just a bit confused by it, since you seemed to find something incredibly funny."

"Oh yes, there was something we found much funny last night, but you do not need to worry about it," she answered, a smile forming on her face which soon transformed into a light laugh. Though this did not help Robin in any way, he sighed and decided to not ask anymore, hoping he would find out sooner or later as he finished dressing himself.

The couple entered the Common Room at the same time, and thought they were the first to wake up, and smiled at each other, liking the idea of being alone in this huge room. Star went into the kitchen and filled up the kettle with water, and as she put it on to boil she felt Robin come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist firmly, pressing them as close together as he could without it being uncomfortable. He showered her neck with kisses, and when she turned her head to face him, their lips joined and they started to make out. They did not stop until the kettle button popped back up, indicating that it was ready, and Star pulled away and reached into a cupboard that held all of the teams' cups. She felt that something was not quite right as she took out hers and Robin's mugs, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, she realised what it was. One of the cups was missing. She jumped and banged her head on the corner of the open cupboard door, and her hand went right to it as she winced. Robin's first reaction was to burst out with laughter, then to see if she was okay.

"Star, are you alright?" He asked, still giggling as he went up to her and checked her head and closed the cupboard door. She quickly grabbed his hand, preventing him from shutting it fully. "Huh? What's wrong?"

"The mugs..." she said, opening it again and pointing to the spot the missing one usually takes up. "Raven's is gone!"

Robin gasped and they turned around to look at the large sofa, and saw the dark figure sitting on one of the seats, facing away from them.

"Took you long enough," she said emotionlessly, picking up the 'missing' cup and taking a sip of warm tea.

"H-how long have you been in here? Did you see-" she cut Robin off, knowing what he was about to say.

"About fifteen minutes longer than you have, and yes I did," she replied, and the couple blushed, "but if it makes you feel better I will not mention it to anyone."

"Thank you, friend Raven," Starfire said and Robin breathed out, though he still did not feel all that much better since she did witness it, whether she mentioned it to the others or not.

Soon enough the other two titans joined them, and Cyborg began preparing breakfast as the others waited, sipping their drinks if they had any.

"Dude, I'm so glad you guys made up," Beast Boy exclaimed. Robin had his arm around her again, and it seemed to have went back to normal.

"I am very glad of it myself," Starfire agreed, "I missed Robin so much."

"I missed you too," Robin said, planting a soft kiss on the top of her nose.

"Ya sure it's really that good?" Cyborg called from the kitchen and everyone giggled.

"I think it's as good a time as any, they aren't expecting it and will be weaker since they just woke up and haven't finished eating yet."

"I'm not so sure, maybe we should wait a bit longer?"

"No, we've put it off long enough. Just do it before they start their petty little attempts to find us." Not arguing back, he pointed his arm out at the building and shot.

The loud sound of the alarm ripped their positivity apart, and it finally silenced when Robin turned on the computer (which he had not used since making up with Star) to check what was going on. According to their mission's description from the police, a man with looks that matched their new enemy had blown up Jump City's library and was attacking anyone who came close to him. After explaining what they had to do to the rest of the Titans, they started heading to the crime scene. Raven and Beast Boy decided to fly so that they were not all in one place as that would make them more vulnerable. Starfire offered as well, but Robin did not allow her to as he said he didn't want anything bad to happen to her now that they just made up.

Noticing that the Titans did come as expected, the blue villain smiled to himself. Maybe it was a good time to get this over and done with. He waited patiently for them to come closer, which they did.

"You will not get away this time, Arion!" Robin shouted.

"Oh good, you remembered my name after all. I got scared you forgot it after you didn't see me for over two weeks," Arion teased with a smile.

"Maybe because you're a coward?" Beast Boy yelled as he transformed from a bird back to a human.

"I'd watch your mouth if I were you, last time I did kick all of your asses, you were lucky I didn't just finish you off right there and then," Arion snapped, annoyed with the changeling's attitude.

"If you could've then why didn't you?" Raven asked, still floating in the air. Their enemy paused to think for a moment, then shrugged.

"Not my style, I guess. Plus I thought it'd be nice if you knew a bit about who was killing you, as I know your leader has been spending quite a lot of time researching me." Robin gritted his teeth together.

"Enough of the talking, Titans go!"

Cyborg went first, loading up the cannon in his arm and pointing it right at the villain, before launching it at him. They could not see what was going on from all the smoke that came off of the shot, but when it cleared, he was much closer, running straight at Cyborg. He decided to mimic him, and the two part-robots started running at each other. Obviously this surprised Arion, for he cussed under his breath then ducked to avoid a hit from a metal arm. As they passed by each other, the villain used his hand to deliver a punch to Cyborg's side. Of course this did not do much damage since the material he was built of was tough, but it did send him flying to the side. It was not over though; Cyborg saved himself in the last second by putting his leg forward, preventing him from falling. He spun around on that same leg, charging up and shooting another sonic blast while the villain wasn't steady. Arion's eyes widened as it came towards him. Again, everyone's vision of what was going on was limited because of the smoke. They waited until it disappeared. The blue man was on the floor a few feet away from where the blast ended up at, but he wasn't harmed in any way which confused the titans.

Cyborg was breathing heavily from how fast everything just happened, but he definitely wasn't about to give up. He began running towards his opponent, preparing himself for if he moved away to avoid his attack. As he was about to make contact with his rival's nose, he hit something else, and it hurt him more than whatever he hit. Looking down, he saw a small blue orb surrounding Arion's hand, which he had brought in front of his evil face. The orb gave off heat which burned him, but it did not give him the ability to take away his hand for some reason. Cyborg gasped as the villain smiled, and the orb seemed to explode onto him, making him fall back. Seizing his chance for a further attack, he pounced onto the half robot man, and punched him in the face a few times, knocking him out.

"Cyborg!" Starfire cried, letting out a flurry of her starbolts at him. Arion used a larger shield this time to shelter his entire body. When she finally stopped, he was about to throw it at her but he hesitated for an unknown reason, then allowed the shield to disappear back into his hand. She was very confused by his actions, but she didn't have much time to think about it as Robin started running towards him and jumped up to kick him in the face, which he dodged. Once Robin was on the ground he turned around to try again, but before he could even get up his jaw was met by a large black boot, and he fell completely onto the floor. The pain was unbelievable, blood pouring out from his mouth and wound pulsing, and he was unable to stand up but was still awake for now.

The villain looked around, admiring his work so far. They had barely begun and he already had one titan knocked out and another one severely injured. This was far too easy, he thought. He really shouldn't of gotten distracted though, as a black power whipped him around the back of his head. Turning around he faced Raven, and he smiled. She was the one who loathed his powers the most out of all of them, and he knew he was going to use that against her. He created a light blue power ball from his hand, and bounced it up and down on his palm. Right now it seemed pretty harmless, but it could become deadly faster than you could blink at his command.

"Raven, darling, I think we both know my powers are much stronger than yours," he said, still concentrating on the ball, keeping it going up and down. "I could teach you how to make them just as powerful, but obviously that can not happen since we are in opposite teams. Quite a shame really, you are full of potential."

"Don't listen to him Raven!" Beast Boy was about to headbutt Arion right in the stomach in the form of a wildebeest, and this time the rival definitely did not have enough time to react. He must of done something though, because as he was about to make the possibly fatal blow, something hit him hard in the back of the head, causing him to stop dead in his tracks and turn back to human form. Now it was BB who didn't have the time to avoid the metal first punching him in the side of the face, knocking him right out from the force he used.

"Beast Boy!" Raven and Starfire both screamed, the half demon girl flying down to his aid and holding his badly bruised face in her hands, trying to heal him as quickly as she could. She managed to bring him to wake up.

"He - he's getting away," he whispered weakly, then as she looked up he fainted again in her arms. Indeed, the villain was now running, and she knew she couldn't let him escape again and went after him. Star had been kneeling down next to Robin who had now also fainted, and reluctantly let him go to help Raven.

The two Titan girls followed him into an old factory building that seemed to be abandoned.

"Split up," Raven ordered, and Star nodded and they went separate ways to try and find him. If they yelled they would probably still be able to hear each other. They passed many unused machines and high stacks of cardboard boxes which were filled with holes and labels of all colours and sizes. Raven felt a bit uneasy as she glanced around at all the ancient equipment, and as she stood in front of a particularly large, dangerous looking one she thought she saw something move out of the corner of her eye, but there was nothing there. Just her mind playing tricks on her from the nerves. She breathed in to try and calm herself down, when one of the cardboard boxes fell on top of her. She struggled to get it off, but then it was thrown aside by something in one swift movement, and she saw that it was the blue villain. She was about to scream for backup when he lunged at her and pinned her down, covering her mouth with his metal hand, and used the other one to inject some mysterious liquid into her arm.

"R-Raven?" Starfire called uneasily as she heard some noises on the other side of the building. She didn't know whether to go and see if her friend was alright; she was probably just looking through something and would be angry with her for not obeying her order. Pausing, she sighed and wrapped her arms around herself. It was quite chilly in the factory, though she mostly did that to bring her some comfort. Suddenly, she noticed something move not that far away from her, and she gasped, but did not have enough time to do anything else, as something leaped on her from behind, floored her and injected the unknown substance into her.
