A/N:: This is my first Teen Titan fic, so please bear with me as I get in tune with the characters. There will be quite a few different pairings throughout the story and hopefully the future chapters will be longer. Please review and give me any suggestions or comments you have. It is all greatly appreciated!

It had been a few months since Tokyo and Titan Tower had not rung its alarm once. Jump City was peacefull, allowing Robin and Starfire time to sort out their newly founded relationship. The couple had endured taunts from Beast Boy and Cyborg with complete ease. It seemed that nothing could bring the teenagers' spirits down. Starfire floated higher and squealed louder each day while Robin could not keep a smile off of his face.
In other words: Titan Tower was a place of pure bliss and happiness that was contagious. Everywhere someone went in the city people were skipping and laughing.
Well, almost everyone. In his old hideout, a well known foe of the Titans was quietly biding his time and watching for the perfect opportunity.
"Glorious friends! Is it not a beautiful day?" Starfire twirled around. She and the other Titans were walking in the park as the sun began to set.
Robin laughed and tugged on her hand to bring her back to the ground, "Star, of course it is. Just like every day spent with you."
"Aw, dude! Come on! You promised!" Beast Boy groaned, "No cute love crap today!"
"Yeah, man. I though you wanted to e lightly secret anyways," Cyborg raised an eyebrow.
Raven rolled her eyes, "As if they could after their hand holding fest in Tokyo was broadcasted in every newspaper, magazine, and news program in the world. I'm surprised some talk show hasn't called them."
Robin dropped Starfire's hand. He glanced at her in an apology, "Sorry, but they are right. We would not be safe if one of our enemies-"
Since his hand left hers, Starfire had begun to fume and feel rejected and confused, "Jump City has been the quiet for months, Robin! No one is out there to pose a threat. And if they did," her emerald eyes began to glow, "I can take care of myself! Is that not what a Teen Titan is? A fighter and protector? You train us to be strong fighters, yet you still see me as the damsel in distress. Or are you ashamed to claim me as yours?" She suddenly bolted, flying away as tears fell from her eyes.
Robin stood stunned at her outburst. He knew Star could be emotional at times, but this had come out of nowhere. Scratching his head, he looked at her disappearing form.
Beast Boy gave a low whistle, "Dude, what was that about? I've never seen her that mad before."
"Yes, you have! The oil balloon, remember?" Cy nudged him in the ribs.
"Oh yeah…"
"Are you going to talk to her?" Raven narrowed her eyes at the Titan leader, "Or are you going to stand there like an idiot all night?"
Robin blinked, "I-I don't know."
In the shadows of a tree, he chuckled, "Soon. Robin. Soon. The time has come."
