After a few hours of flying, Starfire reaches a body of water. She flies along the beach, her heart quickening. Suddenly she sees something in the distance. She begins flying out over the water toward a small island. This is it. She's found her home.

Titan's Tower stands tall, overlooking the sea in a protective stance over Jump City. Starfire hovers around the building, placing her feet on the rooftop. And just at the perfect time. The sun is setting, and this is the time when she and Robin, now Nightwing, would come out onto the roof together to watch the sun go down. It started when they were just friends, a mere coincidence the first time they both showed up on the roof together. But it grew into their own personal thing. Starfire walks out onto the ledge and takes a seat. As she waits for the sun to set, she can't help but wonder if Nightwing still watches it. Does he go onto his roof top in Bludhaven? Does he still think of her?

As the sky grows dark, Starfire gets back up onto her feet. She wipes a tear that escaped and turns around to find the door. She wiggles the door knob just to make sure, but of course it's locked. But this should be no problem. She leans back and rocks forward, slamming her fists against the door. It falls down in a loud groan. She flicks the light switch but nothing happens. She sighs. Of course the power is off, she thinks, we don't live here any more. She creates a star bolt to give her light as she makes her way down the stairs.

Gliding over the steps, she finally reaches the top floor. This is where Nightwing's room was located. Starfire pressed firmly against the door, pushing it onto the ground. She steps around it and peers into the room. All of his old furniture is gone. His bed, the dresser, the curtains, the desk. But despite the missing items, she can still feel him there. She walks around the room, sliding her fingers along the wall. Memories flood her clouded mind, so many memories that happened in this room. Striping of the clothing, touching, pure love. She feels a terrible pain in her heart, a gripping sadness. She leans against the wall and slides down, placing her head in her hands as she let herself cry. Why did this all have to happen? She was taken away from her home, but how? Why? She just doesn't understand.

Suddenly, she hears a high pitching whirring sound, gradually growing louder, as a dark shadow steps through the moonlight from the windows. Starfire staggers up against the wall, standing a good foot shorter than the figure in front of her.

"Yo, what the hell are you doin' in my tower?"

Starfire knew that voice. Slowly, so as not to cause alarm, she raises her hand in a glowing green orb. Her green light illuminates the figures face, showing an astonished Cyborg. Starfire smiled so brightly, she can't remember ever feeling this happy.

"Friend!" she exclaims, causing Cyborg's eyes to widen and his mouth falls open. He lowers his sonic canon, staring at her, his facial expression unchanging.

"It… it can't be. You… Starfire?"

"Yes," she says, taking a step towards him. "It is me, I swear."

"Oh thank God." He plunges toward her, wrapping her up in a bone-crunching hug. "Oh please tell me this ain't a dream. This would be a really, really cruel dream."

Starfire chuckles. "It is not a dream, Cyborg, for in dreams you cannot feel the pain of a bear hug."

Cyborg laughs. "Sorry, I just can't believe it's really you. What happened to you?" "I cannot remember," says Starfire. "All I know is I ended up on Tamaran. But you all believed me to be dead?" "Yeah, I mean, you fell in the ocean and we couldn't find you. We searched for so long, but I guess it was all for nothing." Starfire places a comforting hand on Cyborg's arm. "Well, I am home now and I am never leaving again. I hope you do not mind me asking, but why you are still here?" "Here, as in, in the tower? I left Jump City when everyone else did. After I heard about BB and Rae coming back, I hid out in the tower." Starfire gives him a questioning look, pleading for more answers. "It was just too painful to see everyone." She nods her head understanding. "Why did everyone leave Jump?" "We had a memorial service for you at the Justice League headquarters. I really don't want to talk about that. But you should know that every hero known to man was in attendance. Everybody missed you, Starfire. So we should probably let the JLH know that you're alive. But anyway, after that, we stayed in Gotham with Bruce. But then Robin basically told is to get lost." Starfire clenched her fists. How could he treat his friends that way? "He made you leave? But why?" Cyborg gripped her upper arms, demanding her attention. "Starfire, don't get upset. You didn't see him. He was... a mess. After he thought you had died, he just lost it. He couldn't even go to your memorial. He just stayed at Bruce's. We all had a huge fight over that, which is when the team really started to fall apart." Cyborg shook his head. "Without you, we could never be the Titans."

"I am sorry for what my disappearance has put all of you through."

"It's not your fault, you didn't mean to blow up the oil rig and get launched into the ocean. I'm just so glad you're back."

"Yes," says Starfire, getting excited. "And now I shall find Beast Boy and Raven. Soon we will all be together again."

"Well, you know Robin's got a new city. He'll never want to leave Bludhaven."

Starfire considered this. "Is it wrong for me to go see him? To disturb this new life that he has built?"

Cyborg shook his head. "He's been beating himself up for not being there to save you. He really hates himself, Starfire. He needs to see you."

"Even if it is only for one last time," says Starfire sullenly. They stand there together in the dark, feeling the happiness of her return, but still feeling the sadness of their broken team. After a few moments of silence, Cyborg clears his throat.

"Cheer up, Princess. I know where to find BB and Rae. I've been keeping tabs on them. They really do make a cute couple," he says, waggling his eyebrows.

Starfire giggles. "Yes, I would very much like to see them again. Let us go now." Starfire flashes a star bolt to give them light as they travel down the stairs. Two more floors down and she gets impatient. She hovers up to grab Cyborg by his shoulders and flies down the remaining floors. They land in the common room where Starfire forms another star bolt. The green light casts over the old sofa in the living room space and the old kitchen that she loved so much. She remembers back when her and Cyborg used to cook meals for the rest of the Titans together. He taught her Earth recipes so the team would actually eat what she cooked. Oh, how she had missed her big brother.

"Cyborg, why do you not turn on the power?"

"Don't want the city to know I'm here. As far as they know, I've disappeared, too."

"How do you get food if you cannot go out and do the grocery shopping?"

"I technically don't need to eat, well, my robot self doesn't need to. I just really like food."

"Oh," says Starfire, running her hands along the back of the couch. Memories flash: video games with Beast Boy, talking with Raven, making out with Nightwing…

"Okay," says Cyborg who is now standing next to her. He holds his arm out in front of him, where a little flap has opened up displaying a map. Two little blinking dots appear within the same area of the map.

"Did you put trackers on them?"

Cyborg shakes his head. "No, they just always kept their communicators with them. I guess they still have hope." He presses on the dots, which brings up another screen with what seems to be an address and coordinates on it. "Right in the center of town. Well I know Raven has work in the morning, but she is also on call a lot. But Beast Boy doesn't really work. So he'll be home when we go over tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Starfire whines. "But I so very much want to see them. Surely it is not too late?"

Cyborg looks at his arm again. "Well, it's 9:30. I doubt that BB will be asleep." He looks at Starfire, who displays large puppy dog eyes. "Alright, let's go." Starfire squeals, suddenly reaching for Cyborg and flying out the door.

Starfire soars over to city with Cyborg under her. This is the happiest she can remember feeling in such a long time. She thinks about how she's finally being reunited with her friends, and finally, happy tears spring from her eyes rather than tears of sadness. Cyborg reaches up to tap her shoulder and points down to a building below. Starfire begins descending towards the large apartment building, landing on the rooftop.

"You know, Star we coulda just used the-" Starfire pounds open the rooftop door, finding a stairwell "front door. But this works too." Cyborg follows as she leads them down the stairs to the top floor. When they reach an elevator, he stops to look at the screen on his arm again. "They're on the 6th floor. Apartment 6J" Starfire nods her head and enters the elevator. It takes them down the 9 floors to where Raven and Beast Boy live. They walk down the hallway until they reach the door reading 6J.

"Perhaps you should go first," says Starfire. "That way you can maybe give them a little warning. At least they know you are alive." Cyborg makes a sound of agreement as he picks the locked door with one of the tool extensions on his index finger. To door pops open soundlessly, and he enters slowly.

Raven, who is sitting on the couch next to Beast Boy, had began to sense something that she hadn't in a long time. A feeling of happiness invaded her mind. She only knew of one person who ever felt this happy.

"No," she says, basically to herself. Beast Boy gives her a worrying glance. He reaches for her hand, about to speak when black magic covers his mouth. "Garfield, there's someone here."

They both stand up from the couch and turn around to see Cyborg standing in their living room. Raven yelps in surprise and Beast Boy somewhat hides behind her. Finally, they register the face they are seeing.

"Cy? Dude!" Beast Boy lunges at him, transforming into a bear to give him a literal bear hug. Cyborg laughs, actually happy to see his friends now that he no longer feels sadness for Starfire.

"Hey, grass stain. Yo Rae! C'mere!" Cyborg reaches for her to bring her into the hug as well. She hesitantly receives it, slightly patting him on the back.

"I can't believe you're here! How've you been?"

Cyborg shakes his head. "We can talk about me later. Right now, I have a surprise for you two."
