I got an even amount of responses in my last story ("Switched Again") as to whether I should do a Lee story or my next fic idea. SO I decided to go ahead and put Lee in this story and try and make everybody happy. Anyway I hope you like this one, as it took me awhile to think through. For those of you who are just now catching my fics, my fan made char., Lee, is an exiled Samurai who joined the team while on the run. You get more history on him as the story progresses.

The door to Titans tower opened and in slowly walked the Teen Titans. They had just finished stopping a prison break out, caught Mumbo while they were in the middle of having pizza, helped put an end to a hostage situation, and rescue ten people and a small cat from a burning building. They were reallllllllly tired.

"Hope you all don't have any plans for the next few weeks", said Beast Boy. "Cause that's how long I'm gonna be sleeping".

"Agreed Beast Boy, I am"-, Starfire yawned real big. "-Quite exhausted". As they all shlumped off to their rooms Robin glanced at the wall clock. He groaned as he saw that it read two thirty in the morning. They only had five hours at most before sun up, it was times like these that made Robin almost wish that he were back to picking pockets. Then it was seeing a face like Starfire's that made him say, "screw picking pockets". Their doors all closed, their heads hit their pillows, and almost instantly each of them slept like a log.

Outside the tower, two dark figures were watching them from the docks. They waited there for a while surveying every detail of the surrounding area and then one nodded to the other. And they suddenly lifted off the ground and flew towards Titans Tower. They landed on the roof and opened a small ventilation shaft which fed directly into the tower.

Inside some soft moonlight came through the large windows in the main living room. The tower was so quiet they could probably hear each other's dreams. Down the hallway, a pair of yellow cat eyes moved swiftly towards the kitchen. The cat reached the moonlit room and then transformed back into Beast Boy. It certainly was handy to be able to transform into something that can see in the dark better. His stomach growled and he moved over to the fridge. For the short time that they were eating their dinner, Cyborg had ordered the famous "All Meat Experience" while Beast Boy was in the bathroom. Unwilling to give in to meat BB had sat through the whole thing without taking one bite. So he was hungry. He opened the fridge door and pulled out a rather large box of tofu.

"Boy, nothing like four day old tofu at three in the morning", he said blindly reaching into the fridge. "Though I suppose its better than Cyborg's plate of carnivore massacre". He sat down at the table and opened the box. He had taken only a few bites when he thought he heard something behind him. He whipped around and saw nothing, he turned back around slowly and went back to his post midnight snack. Up above him, two agile figures were currently suspended on the roof supports and watching BB consume his meal. One of the figured motioned for the other to go down and the other nodded and swooped down over Beast Boy. Just before he/she had him, Beast Boy snapped his head up, grabbed the figure and threw him/her to the ground.

"And I though I was hearing things", he said moving over towards the wall. The figure got to their feet and was joined by the other. Beast Boy flicked on the lights and saw they were wearing full head masks and completely black body suits. The eyes on their masks were and orangish red color, probably for seeing in the dark among other things. Beast Boy then hit the alarm and a siren sounded with red lights flashing. The two strangers charged at Beast Boy while firing off what looked like starbolts. The changeling went to a lion and pounced on one and pinned him to the ground. The other quickly came by however and tossed Beast Boy off and into the wall. By now Raven and Cyborg had shown up and joined the battle. After firing his sonic cannon Cyborg went to the wall intercom.

"ROBIN"! He dodged an energy ball and turned back to the wall. "ROBIN PICK UP"! Inside his room Robin jumped out of bed and slammed down on the intercom.

"Cyborg what is it"! This time it was Raven's voice.

"INTRUDERS HAVE PENATRATED THE TOWERS DEFFENCES"! Shouted Raven's voice over the wire. Cyborg suddenly became too preoccupied to talk. Robin ran out of his room and bumped into Starfire and Lee. Starfire had on a green nightgown with small stars embroidered on it.

"Robin what is going on", she asked with her eyes half closed.

"Someone got in the Tower", said Robin. He motioned for them to follow him and took off for the main room. Rejoining the fight Raven levitated the couch and hit the both of them and sent one flying through the window. She came back in threw numerous starbolts at Raven who put up a shield around herself and Beast Boy. Cyborg was in the middle of a push and shove contest with the other. Cyborg almost had him tripped when the guys eye lenses opened and he shot him with his eye beams. Cyborg flew back about thirty feet and landed next to the door. It opened and in came Robin, Starfire, and Lee. Robin and Star bent down to check on Cyborg while Lee pulled out his sword and faced Cyborg's victor. The guy held out his arm and long serrated blade came out of a small device attached to his arm. They clanged against each other's weapons while Robin brought out his staff and relieved Raven and Beast Boy of their bombardment. He whapped their attacker upside the head and sent her to the floor and seeing stars. Lee's opponent suddenly jumped behind him and went to for a back slash. He didn't make it however for at that moment he was blasted right next to his partner by Cyborg's cannon. With Robin's staff pinning the one and Lee's blade at the other's throat they all towered around the two.

"NO STOP", shouted a voice from behind them. They all turned in surprise to see that Starfire had been the one who shouted at them. She regained her calmness. "Please Robin, let them up". Confused Robin and the others backed away and the pair approached Starfire and too everyone's surprise (Except Starfire), They knelt in front of her and bowed their heads. Then the leader brought out a small case and held it up.

"Your highness I bring an urgent message from his majesty the King". From his voice they could tell he was in his late twenties. Starfire nodded and took the small case from him, inside it held a disk no bigger than a quarter. With them still kneeling she turned and headed for her room. Robin put away his staff and ran up to her.

"Starfire what is going on here, who are these people"? She looked from Robin to the others and then back to Robin. He had both concern and confusion on his face.

"Please Robin, I must view this in private". With that she turned and left the room. Open-mouthed Robin turned back to the pair that infiltrated their home and approached them swiftly.

"Alright! I want to know just who you people are, and what you have to do with Starfire". The one who handed Star the disk turned around and removed his mask. He slightly taller than Robin, had black hair and a pair of really dark and distant eyes. By now his partner had removed her mask. She had light brown hair which was in a ponytail, rather tanned skin, and two shinning blue eyes. She was around the same age as them and was also very pretty. They went over and sat down at the Titans table.

"We are agents for the King of Tamaran. He sent us not two days ago, by remote our ship has probably landed on your roof by now", he said looking up.

"Fine, now WHO are y"-, Robin got cut off.

"How did you get in", interjected Beast Boy. The guy laughed softly and seemed to enjoy this, he motioned for his partner to fetch him something to drink.

"Your always going to have problems with having a completely failsafe security system using the type of mechanics you have now". Raven and Cyborg looked at each other like they had no idea what he was talking about. "I mean you really should be more wary of those vent shafts they're way to easy to get into. So I hear the best thing to do is rig the whole system with poison netting". Lee raised an eyebrow. She returned and handed him a glass of water, he took it while continuing. "So you got your poison netting and now you got to get rid of the body that it ensnared, I mean its not something you want lying around for your mom to find now is it"? Robin was giving him a questionable look. "So I now leave it to you with the rest of your tower but I am happy to have helped with your vent shaft difficulties". He finished and sipped his drink. The Titans didn't know what to say.

"Well thank-you that's such a load off my mind", said Robin sarcastically. "Now would you mind answering the question that I've asked a like a thousands times and tell me just who the Fuck you are. I mean besides someone who barges into other people's homes uninvited of coarse". He seemed a bit insulted but then rose up.

"Very well, my name is Orion. I know what you're all thinking but there are a lot of people on my planet named after constellations". The Titans just shrugged. Orin gestured to his partner. "And this is Aurora, my apprentice". Robin's eyes narrowed.

"Apprentice huh"? He asked circling them. "Just what kind of apprentice"?

"The kind that learns how to fight and survive", replied Orion with pride. This all sounded uncomfortably familiar to Robin.

"What kind of message did you bring for Starfire", asked Raven.

"Sorry, but that is privileged information that I have not the authority or the will to divulge", he put an emphasis on will. "So exactly what is it that you do here", he asked in an uncaring voice.

"We're the Teen Titans. We, along with Starfire, watch over the city everyday and protect from masters and their apprentices". Aurora jumped up and got in a battle stance as if to defend her masters honor. He motioned for her to calm down and he turned back to Robin.

"Well if I were you I might think about reforming your ranks. Because your soon to be one short". Robin's fist tightened.

"What's that supposed to mean", asked Robin bitterly

"Princess Koriand'r is required on her home planet and cannot be bothered by this life anymore".

"Sorry but Star's not going anywhere". The Titans, even Aurora watched as the verbal fight between Robin and Orion began.

"What makes your think she would even want to stay", Orion narrowed his eyes to slits. Robin opened his mouth to answer but then looked down at his feet. Orion then smiled and softly nodded. "Oh. Oh I see", he said mocking Robin. "Well then it seems you've got a problem".

Just then Starfire came back into the room, fully dressed. Orion backed up to his apprentice and instructed her to prep the ship for take off. She nodded and headed for the roof. Robin ran over to Starfire and gave her a questioning look. She did not look at him but simply walked down the steps and over to Orion.

"I am ready", she said sadly. Every Titan mouth in the vicinity dropped to the floor. Robin's however went right on through it. They all watched as Starfire went up to the roof with Orion.

On the roof a small craft stood ready for departure. The Titans scrambled outside to the roof and saw Starfire hanging her head while her stuff was loaded into the ship. They were walking up to her when Orion came out from behind her and put his hand up to stop them. Star could almost feel the rage building up in Robin.

"I'm quite alright Orion, let them pass". Reluctantly He stepped aside and Robin swiftly walked on over to Starfire. She gave him a saddened look and hung her head even lower. He put his hand beneath her chin and picked her head up so he could look her in her eyes. He loved looking into her eyes. The power they had over him was freighting at times, but loved it. "Robin", she began to say. She felt like her ability to speak had been suddenly switched off.

"Please Star, don't go". A small shining tear came down her face as she shook her head.

"Do you believe that I wish to go? I want to remain here with my friends, and with you but"- Robin frowned slightly. "I cannot escape my duties or the king. I must return to Tamaran". The others could barley make out what Starfire or Robin were saying but knew what was going on.

"Will-will I ever see you again", said Robin shaking. Star sniffled and fought with a futile effort to hide her tears.

"I don't know".

"Then I'm going with you", said Robin with resolve. He moved towards the ship. Starfire gently held back.

"No Robin. I could never allow you to abandon the only home you have ever known just for me". Robin walked back up to her.

"Starfire, you are my home". He bent down and pulled her in for a loving kiss on the lips, which she savored to the last second. He broke off but was still and inch from her face.

"Your highness, we must go", came Orion's voice from the background. Inside the ship Aurora was busy activating the ships systems when she glanced outside and saw Lee looking at her. He saw her and suddenly looked down at his feet. She put on a small smile and went back to work. Robin continued to hold on to Starfire until she was touched on the shoulder by her messenger. She nodded and gave Robin one last hug and kiss, they both walked in separate directions holding each other's hand until they were forced to let go. She entered the ship just as Orion was setting himself next to his apprentice in the cockpit. He leaned over a bit.

"Mask our ion trail, I don't want us followed", he said barley moving his lips. She nodded and brought up the loading ramp. With a sudden rush the ship had lifted off and zoomed up and out of earth's atmosphere. They all stood and stared at the night sky, hoping that maybe by some chance it was a mistake and that the ship would come zooming back down any second. They stood for half an hour. Soon Robin was left standing by himself for at least two hours. Nothing, there was nothing. Finally he reached into his belt and took out his comm. device.

"Cyborg is the ship prepped for launch", he waited and then Cyborg spoke up.

"You bet"!

"Good. Cause we launch two hours ago"!

How was that? I would like a review or two. I really trying to make this story much longer than my last couple of fics. Ch.2 will be on its way within the next day or two. So until I update, R&R.
