"Now that the world isn't ending,
It's love that I'm sending to you"
-Hero by Nickelback
Chapter 1
"It's...pretty," said Starfire, with an amount of reserve that Robin found surprising, considering the personality of the lively Tamaranian. The sunrise was beyond pretty. As was Starfire, but he didn't voice that particular opinion.
"Yeah, it is. Are you okay?" he asked. Starfire yawned, then grinned at him.
"I am tired, that is all. But...I have found that I still get 'the shivers' when I think about the world almost ending." She sighed and added, "It's silly. Raven should be the one with these feelings, and yet she has moved on and I am still fearful."
Robin shook his head, which made his normally flawless hair mussed even more with the small breeze from the sea. "It was a big deal, Star. I think it's totally understandable. But it has been a couple months, and we're okay. Don't be afraid- if we saved the world, we Titans can do anything else too."
It had been three months since 'the end', and there was a peace in Jump City disrupted only by petty theives. In three months, a few things had changed around Titans Tower. A piece of every team member had somehow grown wiser and changed- Beast Boy was broader in stature now, and was more apt at recognizing the time and place for maturity, though the occasional whoopie cushion was still unearthed from the couch much to Cyborg's annoyance. Raven's hair was shoulder length, and her outlook on life was brighter than it had been, an improvement that Starfire enjoyed to point out often. Cyborg was the consistent loyal person he'd always been, and Starfire was not sure if anything had changed about herself.
Robin was now two inches taller than Starfire. Star beamed at this thought, and floated into the air, spinning happily. "Oh, friend Robin, you always have the best advice." Robin looked back to his companion, then gave that slight smile of his that would never change even if everything else around it did. The redhead wafted to the ground and ran to catch up, almost tripping on a rock.
Robin chuckled. "Come on, Star, I'm hungry. Let's see what Cy has for breakfast."
"Probably bacon," Starfire replied with a giggle.
Robin turned to reply, but before he could answer Starfire waved her hand at him. "Did you hear that?" she asked.
Robin furrowed his brow and stood still, listening for whatever it was that his companion had heard. A slight cough, then a louder one. A soft thump sounded from on the other end of the roof. Robin ran over to the other side with Starfire on his heels. When he reached the source of the noise, though, he froze. Starfire caught up to him and her mouth fell open.
"It is...?"
There on the ground in front of them was someone they never expected to see again. Blond hair spilled onto the ground from the wild tangle of long, thin limbs.
Terra.
