(Robin's POV)

Starfire's heading back to Tameran. She can't! She just can't!

"Starfire, please. Don't. You don't need to go." I told her through my communicator. I love her. She can't just leave because of the League.

"I must. I now realize that to everybody around me, I am just the alien no one wants." she told me, whimpering when she did. I felt bad for her. I wanted her in my arms. I wanted to comfort her. I wanted her to realize that she's much more to me than she realizes.

"Starfire-" I went on to tell her, but she interrupted before I could even speak more.

"Robin, don not. There is no need for your sympathy. Goodbye forever." she said and ended the transmission. I put my communicator away and drove the rest of the way to the Tower. Once we got there, I walked to my room and slid down my door after locking it. I took off my mask and threw it across the room. She was gone and it was my fault. I cried for her. I wanted her back. I needed her back. She's my world. I went to my bed and fell asleep.

(Raven's POV)

Robin's been in his room for days. He doesn't come out. Not even for missions. Cyborg has been leading us. Robin hasn't even eaten since Starfire left. All he does is sit in his room and cry. He screams during the night, but won't let anybody into his room. It's locked and there's absolute no way to break into his room. We've tried. I walked up to his room and knocked on the door hoping he would answer.

"Robin, please. The team's worried about you. Please, just come out." I begged. He unlocked his door and opened it. He looked worse than he ever has before. I even noticed that he was getting thinner.

"What's the point?" he asked me harshly and flatly. I winced a little at his tone. He was never like this. It's like the light in his life just all together left all at once. I felt bad for him.

"Can you at least eat something?" I asked him. He shook his head and went back into his room. He locked it again and I walked away. I went to the Ops room where Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games. They also missed Starfire, but weren't as drastic about their grief like Robin. I had to meditate to keep calm, but that was normal. I decided to call her.

"I'm going to call her. Maybe she'll know how to fix Robin." I told the boys. They paused the game and watched me call her. Luckily answered.

"Friend Raven! It is so wonderful to see you." she cheerfully said. I rolled my eyes at her happiness. Normal.

"Hey, any chance you have an idea on how to fix Robin? He won't come out of his room and he's not eating." I asked her. Her smile immediately faded at the news.

"Try to drag him out. If he has not eaten in days, then his strength should be down." she told me. I nodded.

"Thanks. Any chance you know why he's like this?" I asked her. She shook her head. I said bye to her and ended the transmission.

"So she's got no idea either." Cyborg sighed. I felt bad for Robin. He was right. Starfire didn't have to leave. She could've stayed and cried in Robin's arms like she usually does. And then he makes her feel better. This is not like her, though. The League really saddened her. I went to the kitchen to get food for him. I set up a tray and took it to his room. I went to knock and there was a note on he door. It read:

Titans, I'm sorry for the inconvenience I've caused. I've left for Gotham and I'm not turning back this time. Goodbye. Maybe we'll see each other in the future.

-Robin

I walked back to the Ops room and showed Cyborg the note. His eyes widened.

"There's no way. No absolute way." he mumbled. He handed the note to Beast Boy and walked to the computer. He looked up Robin's communicator and it showed that it was in his room. I walked to his room and saw his communicator sitting on his bed. I brought it back to Cyborg and looked at him sadly.Two members left. But at least Starfire had her communicator. Robin didn't. He didn't want to be found. He didn't want anything that reminded him of Starfire. And that meant leaving the Titans behind. This was one crazy situation. I sat on the couch and Beast Boy sat next to me, putting his arm around me. I snuggled into his side and fell asleep there.

(Bruce's POV)

When Dick showed up, I was surprised. He didn't look so good. He showed up in the Batcave on the R-cycle. The League was here again. I wondered why he was here.

"Robin, are you okay?" I asked him. He was still in his uniform. He looked at me and shook his head. I looked at him curiously. He kept walking. I just hoped no one made it worse. But that didn't come true.

"Where's your little alien girlfriend?" Superman asked. Robin turned to him and glared. I backed up a little. I knew what he was like when you get hims tarted. He was not in a good mood to begin with.

"She left. I hope you're happy. She left because, of all people, you made her cry and leave Earth. She's not coming back." Robin told him. He turned and walked to the elevator. I'll figure out what's going on later. For now, I'll let him rest and gain some energy.

"What was that about?" Kid Flash asked. I shrugged and continued the conversation with them at hand. After half an hour, they left and I went upstairs to see if he was okay. I found him asleep next to a picture of him and Starfire. He had tear stains on his face and bags under his eyes.

"Oh Dick. What happened?" I asked quietly. He suddenly moved and was trying to grab something. He started yelling for her. He missed Starfire. I noticed he was wearing his gloves. I took them off and noticed recent scars. How could he do this to himself. I grabbed his suit and brought it downstairs to put in a showcase. I asked Alfred to make him a new one. I designed it already. Alfred got to it right away and I thanked him. I was grateful for him. I went upstairs and went to bed. It was pointless to wake him up now.

~IN THE MORNING~

I walked to Dick's room to see that he was already up. He still looked horrible. I decided to cheer him up.

"Come on. We're going out." I told him. He looked at me suspiciously, but got dressed. I was taking him to see a hockey game. Once he was ready, he came downstairs and joined us for breakfast. He ate his favorite. Bacon and eggs with pancakes. And by the looks of ti, he needed food in him.

"Where are we going?" He asked me. I shrugged and walked out to the garage to the car. We got in and I handed Dick a jersey for his favorite player. Number 38. He grinned and put it on. I was happy that he was smiling. He wasn't really in a good mood last night. Plus, during the night, he started screaming like he was being stabbed. I ran to his room to make sure he wasn't. But that plan I have for him will hopefully cheer him up. I was having him join the Young Justice Team. Plus he'd have a really cute relationship with Zatana. They really were cute when they were dancing.

"Dick, how would you feel about joining the Young Justice Team?" I asked him. He looked up at me and stared at me curiously. Then he nodded. I grinned at his response. Then the car stopped and we were at the rink. He grinned at the fact that we were at the place where he can watch his favorite sport. We walked in and sat in our seats. We watched the whole game and luckily, Dick's favorite team won. He cheered so loud when the game was over and he actually jumped out of his seat while clapping. He really loves hockey. I've been around him when his team loses and it's hilarious to watch his reaction. I have it on tape actually. We got up and went back to the car. We went back to the Manor and in the backyard. We walked around in the maze. It was so cool to have a maze in our back yard. This is where we came to talk.

"Richard, what are the marks on your wrist for?" I asked him. He looked alarmed and tried to cover up his wrist more. I looked disappointed at him. He stopped trying to hide them and just looked down. I put a hand on his shoulder and he looked up at me. I've never seen this much sadness in his eyes. Not even when his parents died. He loved Starfire. There was no denying it. He needed her. She was the light of his life. And I will be talking to the League about this.

"Love's not easy. Especially when it's between a human and an alien." he said quietly. I nodded and we walked back in for lunch. Believe me when I say the League will know about this. They caused this and hopefully they can fix it.

"Look on the bright side. You live and learn." I tried to cheer him up, but it didn't work. He shook his head and went inside.
