Hey luvs! My last chapter…I'm so sad. I love this story! I believe that it is my best piece of work. I hope y'all agree…Anyway, I've enjoyed my time with you guys…I'm thinking of doing a sequel that might focus a little more on BB and Rae…after all, they still have a date to go on! But there would still be some slight (prolly more…) Star and Rob because they're my favorite! Yeah Koriand'r and Richard! Um…yeah. Comics…sorry. Onward ho!

(You may want to go back and read the first paragraph of this story again. This takes place directly after Starfire's reflection in the first chapter.)

Epilogue: That's My Star

And yet…could I stay? Looking at Robin's sleeping form, I knew it would hurt very much if I was to depart, but perhaps it would be better for everyone. I had changed so much. Too much. I had killed Slade. I had tried to kill Robin. I did not belong here anymore. But now Robin and I…were very close and it would be almost impossible to get away.

There was a slight creak as I stood and I heard Robin mumbled something sleepily. I glanced at him to sleep his eyes open and looking at me. Blue eyes. At some point during our time in his room, he had removed his mask.

"Where are you going Star?" he asked, almost harshly. I looked at him carefully, trying to hide my sorrow.

"I was going to return to my room…so no one would be suspicious of our activities." I tried to explain feebly, moving away from the bed and towards the door. Robin let out a sigh of exasperation and lifted an arm to motion for me to come back.

"Star, you're staying here for the night. And maybe other nights. I don't really care what the others think. We probably did what they're going to be thinking anyway." He finished, grinning. I tried not to blush as I took a single step back towards the bed.

"I believe I should return to my room for a little bit. I could come back." I tried to reason. Robin frowned and I sensed annoyance.

"Star, you get back on this bed right now." He practically growled. I hesitated.

"I need…to go to the room of bath." His expression changed from displeasure to confusion and worry.

"Starfire, why are you trying to leave? Did I do something wrong?" He sat up slightly and I shook my head quickly.

"No no. You have done nothing wrong. Nothing is wrong."

"Star…you still suck at lying." He muttered, crossing his arms. I sighed.

"You are correct, of course. You are always right. Except in the fact that I belong here."

"You remember me saying that? I thought that was before you went back to normal."

"I told you that I knew some of the actions and words my other self had. I heard very much before the time of me returning to normal."

"You do belong here," restated Robin firmly.

"I used to. I do not anymore. Not since I have participating in the attempting of murdering. Both of you and Slade. I succeeded with Slade. I am very grateful that I did with you. But I might have. And we do not even know if I will try to kill anyone again or not. Perhaps we have not totally cured what the knife's purpose was." I explained, starting to back up. Robin groaned and slide off the bed, standing and walking over to me.

"Star. You will always belong here. You aren't going to try to kill me again. I won't let you; Raven won't let you, and neither with BB or Cy. Okay? The knife's poison or whatever is gone. Trust me. I know."

"How?" I demanded. He chuckled lightly and put his arms around me. I was stiff for a couple moments before relaxing into the embrace.

"I just do. Have I been wrong before?"

"Yes."

"Okay. I know. But this time I'm right. Just trust me."

"I do not have a choice in that matter…" I mumbled, with slight irritation. I knew he was smiling as he said,

"Well…we don't have choices with a lot of things…"

"Like love?" I asked softly, looking up at him. He stared back down solemnly.

"Yeah."

"Robin…I never told you that…" I trailed off, thinking about my intent to leave. It would be easier if I didn't tell him. For both of us.

"I know Star." He replied, leaning down to kiss me, "I love you too." I closed my eyes as his lips closed over mine, a tear slipping down my face. He pulled back, looking at me intently. "Starfire…you were planning on leaving us weren't you? Leaving me?" He voice was raw with hurt and a couple more tears fell from my lowered eyes. "Why Star?"

"I do not want to harm anyone else. Especially not you…" I said and he snorted. I glanced at him in surprise.

"Star…you are such an idiot." He said it affectionately and I blinked as he continued, "If you left…you'd hurt everyone, and especially me so much more than you ever could do by trying to 'kill' us." He rested his chin gently on the top of my head. "You're going to stay, Star. Even if I have to tie you to my bed."

"You would enjoy that…" I said accusingly.

"Hm…not so much of an idiot, are you?" He joked. I exhaled softly and pulled back from him, gazing back out the window. "Star?" he questioned tentatively. I smiled lightly.

"I can not pick out Tameran. I never could. There are so many stars and planets shinning in the sky. And yet…"

"And yet what?"

"And yet I am already on my home. My home from now on."

"That's my Star…"

What did you guys think? Should I do a sequel? I might address more of the resolution of Starfire's issues. But it would probably be a BBRae…most likely. Anyway, let me know. And that would conclude my attempt at angst…Man do I suck at it. Oh well. Bye for now!
