My Only One… Well… Used To Be
Starfire watched from her seat in the church as Nightwing fixed his tie slightly. He had grown exactly how he was as she recalled in the future. He had grown into Nightwing as well as growing up to be even more serious than he was.
She sighed as she and the rest of the Titans (by the rest I mean all the Titans) waited for the bride. Then they all herd the song that singed that she was walking towards her now-to-be husband.
Starfire sighed, she had wished it was her that was walking down the aisle. Instead, he wanted to be with Batgirl. She had told her self a million, no scratch that a billion times that she didn't care, that as long as he was happy so was she.
But as much as she wanted to believe it, she couldn't. Starfire sighed as she watched Babs gleaming as she walked down the aisle. Once she reached it, Starfire didn't even bother to listen to the words of the preist.
She listened to their vows and watched them hold eachothers hands. Then finally… "You may now kiss the bride." Starfire saddened as she watched their lips touch. She smiled sadly as she saw Nightwing smile at his wife.
As they all headed towards the park to celebrate, she watched all the couple surrounding her. It was incredible how much they all grew. She smiled as she watched Beastboy take hold of Ravens hand and her plant a kiss on his cheek.
She sat down on the bench and watched Babs happily sit down under a tree next to Nightwing and hug and kiss him. He had always kept his mask on throughout everything.
But she knew that he had already shown Babs his eyes. Starfire's smile faded as she recalled their first real kiss. She then looked up at the sky and watched the clouds pass by. Two birds chirped past her, obviously in love as well.
She sighed as she knew that everyone would go back to their places and Nightwing and Babs would go on their honey moon.
At the Tower
"Dude you are so gonna lose today!" Beastboy yelled out happily. "No chance BB." Cyborg yelled back as their fingers rapidly pressed on the buttons of thir controllers.
Raven sat next to Beastboy reading and Bumble Bee sat next to Cyborg cheering him on. "Raven, may I talk to you for a minute?" asked Starfire. "Um sure." Raven said. Starfire and her stood in the kitchen and Raven turned her attention to Starfire.
"So what is it?" Raven asked her. "Raven… may I leave for a while?" she asked. Raven stared at her shocked. "What? Why?" she asked, careful not to raise her voice. "I just want to get away for a while is all." She said sadly.
"Bu- (sigh) for how long?" she asked. "As long as I need to… please." Starfire begged. Raven looked away fom her. "It's fine but… why ask me?" Raven asked. "Because I don't want to leave you without permission." She said. "Yeah… yeah it's fine." Raven said looking at her sadly. Starfire smiled and hugged her best friend.
In Starfire's Room
Starfire packed the last of her things and shut her suitcase. She put away her photo album in her suitcase. She stared at it in on top of her clothes. She then got the album and put it at a bottom drawer that was going to stay in her room for when she came back.
She closed her suitcase and left the tower after saying goodbye to Raven.
At the Airport
Starfire waited in line and watched the people pass by. She smiled at the lady who handed her the ticket. She then walked toward her flight. As she did, she looked back at the airport and the city, then boarded. As she was on the plane, she thought about everyone else and just laid her head back and hoped that it was all for the best.
A Week Later
Nightwing entered the tower with Bab's and his suitcases. "Hey guys." He said happily. "Hey" they all said all at once. "Um, Nightwing?" Raven asked. "Yeah?" he asked as he handed Babs her suitcase and she kissed his cheek.
"Well, Starfire left for a while." She said. "Wait what?" Nightwing asked. "She left for a while." Raven repeated. "For how long?" he asked. "She didn't say, but she said that she'll come back." Raven said. Nightwing just walked to his room with his suitcase, not bothering to ask anymore questions. He knew all the answers to them.
Five Years Later
"Star?" Raven asked over the phone. "Rae? Oh my God I haven't heard from you in over five years!" Starfire replied over the phone happily. "Wow… sounds like you've changed." Rae said noticing her voice was deeper. "Rae what's wrong?" she asked.
She heard Raven sniff. "Please come back Star." She cried. "What did BB do?! Was he with Terra?!" Star asked angrily. "No… I miss you." She said. "…… Okay. I think I need to go back anyways. I'll be there next week. Just stop crying before you break everything in the tower." She said. "Fine." Raven said. "Bye." She said and hung up.
A Week Later
"Hey you guys! Let's go to sleep!" Beastboy suggested. "For what?" Cyborg asked. "For Star! When she comes back we won't have to sleep at night and we could celebrate!" Beastboy said. "C'mon Rae let's go to sleep!" Beastboy said and dragged her to his room. Raven groaned. "Keep it safe you two! We don't need a Titan Jr. right now!" Cyborg joked. The couple blushed as they heard this.
BB's Room
Beastboy quickly pulled the covers over both of them and snuggled up with Raven. "Beastboy? Don't you think that sleeping at 1 in the afternoon is a little… weird?" she asked him. He snored. Raven sighed. I wonder how Nightwing is going to react since he's divorced. Raven thought to himself. Nightwing haden't left his room much since he found out about Speedy and Babs. He just kept quiet about it.
8:00 PM
"I am all fired up!" Beastboy shouted. "Surprisingly… it wasn't so bad." Raven said. "Yeah. My system is all boosted up!" Cyborg said as he had a buffet ready on the table. "Has anyone told Nightwing yet?" Beastboy asked. Raven and Cyborg shook their heads.
"Maybe it'll be better if he finds out on his own." Raven said. As she said that the doorbell rang. She quickly rushed over to the door and opened it. Her eyes widened as she saw her best friend. "Starfire… you …look… amazing." Raven trailed off as she couldn't find the right words to say.
She had changed a lot over the years. She had her hair combed back in a bun and left her bags out as they lightly covered her eyes and her eyes had a silver green in them. She had also grown more physically.
"I see you've grown as well." She said smiling. Raven had grown her hair down to her waist and she looked beautiful. Raven hugged her happily. Starfire smiled and hugged her back.
"Star!" Beastboy yelled and over and ran to hug her. Cyborg followed after and literaly picked them all up in a crushing hug. "Nice to see you too Cy." Star said, barely breathng. "Now you could fix up Nightwing!" Beastboy said happily. Raven and Cyborg glared at him.
He began to sweat. "What do you mean?" she asked him. "Well you see Star… uh… Babs and Nightwing have been divorced for two years now and he's been taking it really harsh without your help." Starfire looked at the ground.
"Tell you what… I'll talk to him." She said and walked through the sliding doors towards his room. "You think this'll work?" Beastboy asked. "I hope so." Cyborg said.
At Nightwing's Room
He heard the door open but didn't bother to turn around. "Go away Raven." He said soflty. The woman noticed that he had a picture of him and her together. He stood up the desk that was facing the door and put the picture away.
He sighed and turned around to the woman he thought he would never see again. His eyes widened behind his mask. She was leaning on the door and watched him not, not a word ever coming out of her.
"They told me about Babs… I'm so sorry." She said, sadness coming into her eyes. "No… I'm sorry." He said. "I'm sorry… I screwed up." Starfire said. "You? I was the one being such a jerk." "Are we still friends?" she asked him. This caught him off guard. Disappointment washed through him. He screwed up and he knew it. He didn't answer. She gave him a little smile that quickly faded and she headed towards the living room.
"Wait." He called after her. She turned around. He walked over to her and put his arms around her as if she were going to leave again. Starfire remebered when she used to feel such happines bubble up inside her but now she practically felt nothing.
She simply put her arms around him as well. She didn't want to be anything to him but she figured that it was only the right thing to do. She knew that he had practically forgotten that she was on the teams after Babs came in the picture, but she didn't want to see him like that. Even though she used to be that way and he didn't seem to care.
Once he let go he smiled. He was the same charming man he was when he got married. She couldn't help but smile back. They both headed back towards the living room. Once the doors opened they saw everyone setting things up for her celebration.
"What's all this?" she asked. "Celebration! Duh!" Beastboy replied. "Don't you guys think it's a little late to be celebrating?" she asked. Nightwing was a bit surprised. She was always the one to be overly excited to celebrate something.
"We already slept in the day so we can party all night." Beastboy replied happily. "And for the first time in five years… MOVIE NIGHT!!!" Beastboy and Cyborg said happily holding out a bunch of movies. "So?" they both asked her hopefully.
She looked around then back at them. "Sure." She said simply. "First… THE BUFFET!!!" Cyborg said. "Great! I'm starving!" Beastboy cried out. Cyborg grunted. "Well that's why almost 80% of everything is meat!" Cyborg said. Beastboy growled.
"Fine." He grunted. Starfire smiled. Once they all sat down they began to serve themselves. "Hey can someone pass the mustard?" asked Starfire. They all looked at her and smiled. She smiled too. "What?" she asked. "Old habits, huh?" asked Raven. Starfire smile shyly and laughed nervously. Beastboy handed her the mustard with a silly straw on it. She smiled once again. "So Star, where'd you go for five years?" Cyborg asked.
"Well, I pretty much just traveled I got to know humans better and gained new abilities." She said. "What did you learn?" Cyborg asked. "Well I learned how to handle weaponry and I learned new skills." Starfire said. "You really did a lot didn't you?" Nightwing asked.
"Yup. I think after a while I might leave again for a few more years." She said. They all looked at her. "Just kidding." She said. They all sighed in relief. "Good because without you this place was crap!" Beastboy said. "Really?" Starfire said, not believing this.
"Yup. Raven had weird mood swings and almost broke everything in the tower. Cyborg kept working on his car and systems. I slept the whole day everyday. And Nightwing… God knows what he's been doing." Beastboy whispered the rest and Starfire shrugged. "Well maybe it'll change maybe it won't." Star said. "Well, time for movie night!" Cyborg said.
"You guys just waited for me to come home so we can re-start movie night?" Starfire asked. "Yup. That and Nightwing went to bed early with Babs- OW!" Beastboy yellped as he recived a smack on the head by Nightwing.
Starfire stared at him but when he turned his attention to her she looked away. "So what movie do you want to watch?" Beastboy asked. "Ummmm." Starfire thought as she went throught the movies.
"Well, how about… this one?" she asked holding up "Dead Silence." "Weird, we never watched that movie." Beastboy said. They all sat down Beastboy next to Raven and Cyborg Starfire decided to sit on the floor cross-legged like she used to when Babs was around because she took the space next to Nightwing but instead Nightwing decided to sit next to her in the same position.
She smiled even though on the inside she felt awkward. As the movie played, she found him stealing glances at her. She tried her best not to look like she felt even more awkward but for some exteremly weird reason, she felt scared.
Scared he might say something unwanted to her. But suddenly she felt his hand on hers. She held back from jumping slightly. "Star." He whispered at about half of the movie, his hot breath on her ear.
"Yes?" she asked, her voice slightly shaking. "Do… do you still have feelings for me?" he asked. Starfire turned to face him, he finally noticed the silver that had come into her eyes. "Well…" she said almost above a whisper, her expression was a worried one. "I… really don't know. That's why I got away from here… to forget about you. Now I'm just not sure at all…"
