Despite Alfred's refusal, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven assist him in cleaning up the party mess. They spend most of the next day returning the ballroom back to its normal state. While Starfire wanted to help as well, everyone denied her, seeing as it was a party thrown for her.

Dick, of course, didn't come out of hiding until called down for dinner later that evening. He would have stayed in his room all day if it weren't Bruce that pulled him out. Alfred, he could say no to. Bruce, well, that's a different story.

"Do I really have to come down? I'm working," whined Dick.

"Working? Sure, you have papers thrown about your desk, but you were sitting on your bed watching T.V. When did you get so lazy?"

"Four years ago," says Dick. He thinks back to when he started letting things slip. It's not like he doesn't work; he has his detective and Nightwing job to worry about. But he regretted spending so much time working and so little time with Starfire when she had been around that he toned it down a bit. Bruce disagreed with it, of course. But Dick really didn't care.

Dick and Bruce arrive in the dining room after everyone else had already been seated. Alfred was bringing out dinner just as they walked in. The first thing Dick noticed was Starfire smiling. More like grinning. A face splitting grin that made him want to smile too. But he also noticed that they other three were talking amongst themselves, Starfire not including herself in their conversation. So what was she smiling about?

Starfire looked up, seeing Richard walk into the room. She immediately lost her smile, blushing wildly, and averted her eyes. He takes the seat across the table, his eyes still on her. She knew that he saw her, and was probably extremely curious. But she couldn't tell him that she was thinking about Speedy. He would probably kill him.

"Enjoy," says Alfred as he heads for the door.

"Alfred, please join us," says Starfire, patting the empty place next to her.

He shakes his head. "It is not my place, Miss Starfire."

"He always says that," Bruce pipes in. "We've tried, Starfire."

"Alfred, you will sit and eat with us. We will be leaving soon and I would like to spend time with all of you." Starfire's words hold finality, like "you better not go against this Tamaranean princess". Alfred cracks a small smile before taking the seat next to her.

"You say you are leaving soon?"

"Yes," says Raven. "I must get back to the hospital. I had told them I had to leave for a family emergency. But I can't prolong this much."

"I see," says Alfred. "And will you be staying with Miss Raven and Mr. Garfield," he asks Starfire.

She takes on a shy look, "I do not wish to intrude. I do not know what my plans are just yet."

"We have a spare room, Starfire."

"I know, but it is yours and Gar's home that you built together."

"You could always stay at the Tower."

Starfire smiles at Cyborg. "I would love to go back to my home with you Cyborg, but not when it is dead."

"I can turn the power back on. Now that you're back, I don't mind the public knowing I'm here. I just don't want to be alone at the Tower."

Starfire sighs. "I wish more than anything that we could all go back. Back to the Tower. Back to the way things were before I disappeared."

"Just come back with my, Starfire. You love the tower. And you would be able to stay in your old room. We'd just have to get you some new furniture."

"No," says Dick. Everyone at the table looks at him, surprised by his voice. "I kept all of her stuff. It's in my storage unit in Bludhaven." Starfire's heart swelled. She smiled at him, and he blushed.

"It's settled. You're coming with me. We're bringing the Tower back to life."

"But it will still not be the same. We are not the Titan's anymore."

"We could be," says Beast Boy. Raven looks at him. He shrugs. "I miss it."

"As do I," says Starfire. Cyborg nods in agreement.

"Do you really think you could go back to being the Titans?" Bruce asks. Silence washes over them. By his tone of voice, they could tell that he doesn't believe in them. Starfire looks up at Richard. His head is down, eyes on the table. What is he thinking about?

"I know that I want to be a hero again," says Starfire. "But I cannot do it alone. I am not Nightwing. I need a team." She looks at her friends around the table.

"But Raven has a career," says Bruce.

"I'm really only used for big emergencies. Cases where there is high risk, where I can use my healing to make it easier. I don't have to go in all that much," says Raven.

"What do you think, friend Raven?"

She sighs. "I miss it, too. I miss the Tower. If I had known Cyborg was living there, I would have wanted to go back."

"Same here," says Beast Boy.

"Is it settled then?" asks Starfire.

"We're moving back to the tower?" Beast Boy asks Raven. She nods, smiling at him. "Yes!" He and Cyborg high five.

"If you want to be the Titan's again, you need to undergo some training before taking on any cases. And you need to assign a leader."

They all look at Dick. "I'm in Bludhaven. I have responsibilities there." Starfire can hear a hint of sadness in his voice. She knows that he misses being a Titan, too.

"I vote Cyborg," says Raven.

"Oh yes! Cyborg is most."

"Out of all of us, he's the best choice," says Beast Boy. "Cyborg, do you disagree?"

"I'm up for it," he says, trying to suppress a smile so that he looks serious.

"Alright then. I must ask that you all stay at the manor for a few more weeks so I can put you through some training before you return to Jump. I'll make some calls to revive Titan's Tower."

"Weeks?" shrieks Starfire. She immediately regrets her words, seeing a flash of pain across Richards face.

"You've all been out of the job for almost four full years. Have you even used your star bolts since you left earth?"

"Actually, I did not even know I had them until I fought my way out." She cannot lie to Bruce…he's just too intimidating.

"Exactly, you probably need more training than anyone. We will start tomorrow." Bruce gets up from his seat, practically storming out of the dining room.

"Did I do something to upset him?" asks Starfire.

"No, Star," says Richard quickly. "He's just… Bruce."

Starfire doesn't want to look up at him, for fear of eye contact. "Okay. I must go get ready now." Raven nods at her, knowing where she is going. She gives Cyborg and Beast Boys sharp looks to keep them from inquiring. But she couldn't do anything about Dick.

"Where are you going?" he asks. Raven cringes. Starfire hates lying to him.

"I am… nowhere." says Starfire before walking out of the room. Dick looks at Raven, who just shrugs. Alfred begins clearing the plates from the table as Dick gets up from his seat.

"Perhaps it is best to leave her be, Master Dick."

What, did he read his mind? "I'm not going to find her," says Dick. Of course he is, but he doesn't want to admit to it. He leaves the dining room and heads up stairs. He walks down the hall to her room, knocking on the door. He could hear an "eep" sound from inside the room, but then silence. He knocks again. He heard as sigh, and then some footsteps.

"Yes?" says Starfire. She has most of her body hidden behind the door.

"Star, you okay?" he asks, trying to push the door open a little more. But she uses her strength to hold it still.

"I am perfectly fine. Can I help you with something?"

His heart breaks a little at her voice. She's making everything seem so formal. Why can't she just be herself?

"Um, well, I was just curious as to where you were going."

"I do not have to tell you, Nightwing. I am free to roam about as I please."

More breaking. She called him Nightwing, not Richard. "Yes, I know, but I was just asking. As a friend." He looks at her expectantly. "We are still friends, right?"

She sighs. "I suppose so. But you are not entitled to know my whereabouts, Nightwing. Raven knows, and that is good enough."

"Stop it!" he shouts sharply, causing her to jump. Her eyes widen with fear. "Stop calling me Nightwing. I told you to call me by my name."

"I do not think that is appropriate."

"And why not? We're friends right? As a friend, I want you to call me by my real name."

"But Barbara said I am the only one who is allowed to call you Richard. Not even her. It is not right for me to call you that. I refuse."

"You talked to Babs?" Starfire nods. "What did she say?"

"Why do you not ask her? She is your girlfriend, after all."

"Star," he says, his masked eyes grow sad. "Can I come in? We can talk about this." He takes a step forward, but she forces the door closed a little more.

"No, Nightwing-"

"Richard."

She sighs. "I will not call you Richard. You are Nightwing. Your mask is Nightwing. I do not deserve to see your eyes, so you will remain Nightwing to me."

"Star, you're the only one that deserves my eyes."

She looks down at the floor. "Go. Go to Barbara. I am moving on, just as you began to." She closes the door, leaving a confused Dick. Moving on? She's moving on? Speedy. God damn it, Roy Harper, so help me God I will kill you, he thinks to himself.

He practically runs to his room, going into his "spare closet" and flipping the hidden switch. In seconds, he is stepping into the Batcave. Batman sits at the Bat computer with his back to Dick.

"I wouldn't go there if I were you," he says.

"Well you're not me," says Dick.

"I'm going on patrol, and if I see you lurking about, I'll send you back to Bludhaven."

"Well then I'll make sure you don't see me."

"I'll be looking for you," he says, narrowing his eyes at Dick.

"You won't find me," he says to himself, grabbing a costume that his father won't be expecting.

Knock, Knock, Knock… "Dick! Open up." Knock, Knock, Knock… "Remember, I'm not restricted to doors." She envelopes herself in her raven and appears inside Dick's room. He stands at the closet with black fabric in hand, shutting the door. "Bruce told me to check on you. He said you were about to do something stupid." Dick scoffs.

"Unless you want to see me naked, Rae, I suggest you leave the room." He whips off his shirt to prove a point.

"Damn it, Dick. What are you doing?"

"I'm changing."

"I can see that," she says, following him over to his bed where he sets out the black fabric. "What are you chang-" She sees the mask. "Oh come on."

"Butt out," he says, taking off his pants. Raven covers her eyes.

"I'm not leaving. Now stop changing. Do not put on that suit. And do NOT go out and follow Starfire."

"Who says I'm following Starfire?"

"Like it or not, I know you. Better than almost anyone, with only one exception. You're going out to stalk her and Roy."

"Oh, so it's Roy now. Psh." He pulls the suit up over his legs. "Is that what Starfire calls him now?"

"Yes. Speaking of Starfire, leave her alone!" Raven spreads her fingers a little to see that his bottom half is covered. She removes her hand, poking him hard in the chest. "You have Babs. She's just trying to do what she thinks is right."

"Roy Harper is not right. He's a pervert. And he only wants to get in her pants." He zips up the suit, pulling it over his arms. He slings the cape over his shoulders. "No one is right for her, Rae. She's not going to find anyone out there."

"You think she needs you, right?"

"I know she does."

"And, what, your mission is to convince her?"

"One way or another," he says. He pulls on the mask giving her that trademark two-finger salute, before hitting the teleporter on his belt. The last this he saw was Raven's angry face and her hand reaching to grab for him.

Nightwing isn't going to find Starfire. Red X is.
