"What the fuck you on, you bastard?!" Tiffany yelled at Richard.
"Look. I just think it's better if we break up. That's all..." Dick replied,
"But..." She stopped, "Why would you ask me to move in with you if you didn't wanna keep a relationship?"
"I didn't plan this, Tiffany. It kinda just hit me. I don't wanna be with you anymore. Simple as. Just get your stuff and go." He said, coldly.
Tiffany screamed loudly and grabbed a bat out of their room. At first, Richard thought he was gonna get attacked by this chick but then she started smashing some of his stuff up. She smashed some ornaments and she was about to go for a special portrait of his parents which she knew meant a lot to him.
"Don't you fucking dare you psycho bitch." He growled, grabbing the bat from her and throwing it in the corner.
"You know what!" She snarled, "I don't need this. I am beautiful and smart and I can get any guy I want!"
"Good for you." He said, sarcastically.
"You know, you don't even deserve me, you smug prick!" She yelled, throwing more of her stuff into her suitcases.
"Nope, I don't." He went along with the girls tantrum.
"I hate you. I never loved you. I just wanted to fuck you and I also wanted your money. HA!" She admitted,
"Nice. So...as well as a golddigger, you're also a slut and a liar. There's two taxi's outside. One has all of your stuff in it so you don't need to come back and the other is for you. Bye bye, Tiff." He grinned,
She screamed again and stormed out of the door, slamming it shut on her way.
He let out a sigh of relief.
At least now, he didn't have to be two people. Now, he could just be Nightwing without a worry at all. He then rang up the press and 'leaked' a story that Richard Grayson had moved back to Gotham as there was too much crime in Jump City.
He then changed into his usual uniform consisting of the Nightwing suit and mask.
He then closed his eyes and breathed slowly and quietly, 'Raven...Raven?'

Meanwhile, Raven, Beastboy, Cyborg and Bumblebee excitedly awaited the arrival of the much missed princess.
Soon enough, a sleek black car pulled up at the new house. It parked up and the door on the passenger side opened.
Out stepped the grown up version of the young yet beautiful Starfire.
Beastboy and Cyborg were stunned with boyish thoughts.
Her hair was now a lot longer than ever and much wavier too. Her face had a sense of young to it however it had a slight sense of maturity added to it also. She wore similar clothes to what she used to when she was with the titans. However, it was slightly different. It still had the same armour although, she wore a purple shirt which stopped just below her breasts and the back of it flowed on like a dress or cape. Her bottoms were simply small pants of type like hot pants. Her shoes were wedged and the straps wrapped all around her lower legs like vines. She looked radiant. Her general bodily features had developed a lot also.
Her eyes sparkled with joy as she noticed a familiar best friend approach her, "Welcome home Starfire!" Raven said happily, floating towards her,
"RAVEN!" She beamed, flying at top speed towards her. She wrapped her arms around the sorceress tightly as if they would be separated again. Starfire let tears flow freely from her eyes, "Star, why are you crying?" Raven asked, laughing slightly,
"Oh friend! I am just so happy to see all of you again..." She paused, "Well, most of you..."
Raven looked at her, knowing exactly what she meant, "I have missed you Raven," Starfire admitted, hugging her friend close once again,
"I've missed you too Starfire," Raven replied, smiling into the aliens shoulder.
Suddenly, Cyborg and Beastboy appeared behind Raven. Starfire gasped, "CYBORG! BEASTBOY!" She yelled, happily.
"STARFIRE!" They yelled together in unison. She jumped on them, embracing them both tightly.
"Girl, do you know how much we've missed you!?" Cyborg chuckled,
"A lot, I hope as I have missed you all very much!" She said, sadly.
"Don't worry dudette! You're here now and that's all that matters," Beastboy grinned,
Starfire giggled but was confused, "Where is friend Bumblebee?" She asked,
"Ah, she had to go home to help Speedy with a criminal in the east." Cyborg explained, "But she said welcome home,"
"Aw," Starfire smiled,
Suddenly a figure appeared behind Starfire, "I'm guessing you forgot me?" The man chuckled,
"Oh! I am sorry, Shane. I got caught up in excitement of seeing my friends again!" She apologized, taking his hand in hers.
"It's alright Star," He replied, gazing at her with a smile on her face.
"Friends, this is my beloved fiancé, Shane Cortez." She introduced,
"Hi there!" He said, happily,
"This is Raven, Beastboy and Cyborg,"
"Aha, Don't worry about names, I know them well from your teen titans days," He chuckled,
"Oh! Yes!" She giggled,
"Alright lovebirds, lets get you moved into your new house!" Cyborg chuckled, helping them unload the truck of furniture.
Later, the boys were all yelling at the TV as the football was on tonight. They seemed to be getting along very well indeed.
Raven and Starfire however were in a different room. They were in Starfires' and Shanes.
"So, I gotta ask Star..." Raven started, "Are you truly happy with him?"
"Of course I am. I love him and he loves me very much," She replied, smiling
"So you have no interest in knowing things about Robin?"
"I believe you mean...Nightwing..."
"So you know that part?"
"Yes. I also know that...he lives rather near here now too?" Starfire fiddled with the tips of her fingers,
"Yes...I met up with him today..."
"You did? W-What did he say?"
"Not much...I told him I'd let you see him again if you wanted to."
"He...wants to see me again?"
"Star..."
"Raven...I...I do love Shane...But..."
"You still love Nightwing, don't you?"
"...I...I do not know..."
"Starfire...Do you want to marry Shane knowing that Nightwing is around again?"
"Yes...I-I do." She paused, "But..."
"But what?"
"I would like to see him..."
"What?"
"I wish to see Nightwing. I wish to see him again to make a mends with the night we stopped our friendship..."
"Alright, I-" Raven stopped.
"What is wrong?" Starfire asked, confused.
"Someone is mentally contacting me. It-It's Nightwing."
'Raven?' Nightwing said mentally,
'Yes?'
'Have you talked to her yet?'
'Yeah...'
'And?'
'She wants to see you.'
'She does!?'
'Yes. I say go at a time her fiancé won't realise.'
'So...'
'Go at midnight, tonight.'
'Uh ok. Where?'
'The park, by the river.'
'Will you tell Starfire?'
'Sure.'
The mental connection was suddenly broken.
Raven turned to Starfire, "You're going to meet him at midnight in the park by the river."
"...But Shane..." Starfire said quietly,
"What's the problem?"
"Is this not classified as being unfaithful?"
"No? Unless you were to kiss Nightwing or something like that."
"I see. Then, why do we have to do it when he is not awake?"
"Because Starfire. When the teen titans were together, everyone knew you and 'Robin' had like some type of connection. Shane would probably get way jealous and try to stop you and cause chaos." Raven explained. Starfire blushed slightly when she talked about a 'connection' between them.
"Oh..." Starfire said, thoughtfully, "I understand..."
When midnight drew, Starfire glanced at her clock and slowly and quietly crawled out of the shared bed. Shane moaned slightly in his sleep and turned over. She sighed and quickly got dressed in her usual and revealing attire.
She snuck carefully out of the room and floated down the stairs and out of the door to avoid making any noise.
She sighed deeply when she got outside and began to make her way towards the park. Her heart beat rose slightly as she got more and more nervous.
She was excited to see her old friend however she was scared they would continue the argument that they left hanging that night four years ago...
