Yo yo yo! Thanks for coming this far! *bows deeply*

So…this is gonna be the last chapter before I start adding in episodes so go vote in my poll now!

Without further ado I present Chapter four!

Nightwing woke up because the light was shining in his eyes. He squinted until he was used to the bright morning light. This is why I had my room on the west side of the tower. Starfire groaned and he jerked his head to her. When he saw that she was just rolling over, he relaxed. When he saw that she wasn't being disturbed by nightmares he decided to go to the kitchen and his stomach growled in agreement with his thoughts.

The stroll to the kitchen was fairly quiet. When he got to the living room/kitchen he saw why. Raven was meditating, not that big of a change really. But Beast Boy and Cyborg were cooking a huge breakfast, and they weren't fighting. His eyes widened in shock. Beast and Cyborg getting along? That did not happen.

"So what are you guys doing?" He questioned.

Beast Boy and Cyborg looked at each other embarrassedly. "We…ah…Star….breakfast…you..." was all they could splutter out.

"They wanted to make Starfire a good breakfast. They were hoping that you wouldn't wake up while they were cooking." She shook her head at the two 'cooks'. "Don't want anybody knowing we actually care about Star now do we boys." She said in a mocking baby voice. The two boys glared at her, then turned back to the objective at hand.

Nightwing raised an eye at her. "Star?"

Raven blushed slightly. "Yeah… Cyborg called her that last night. Now they're both calling her that. Kinda slipped out there."

Nightwing nodded in understanding. He walked over to where Raven was levitating and said in a low voice, "Hey, Raven. What do you think caused Star to have those nightmares?"

Raven noticed his slip but did nothing more than raise an eyebrow at him. "I can't really say. I can't get a good read on her emotions. So that probably means that her emotions are in chaos…that's the only explanation that I can think of. When a person's mind is in chaos it becomes harder for me to lock onto their emotions, because there are so many feelings swirling in their heads." She raised a hand to her chin in thought.

Nightwing opened his mouth to continue with the conversation but before he could a loud "Good morning al my dear friends! Is it not a most glorious day?" rang throughout the room. Everyone jerked their heads to Starfire in shock. There is no way she can be happy. Not after what we heard last night, was the thought at the forefront of everyone's mind.

"Yo, Star? Are…are you okay?" Cyborg asked.

Starfire looked over at him questioningly. She tilted her head in confusion. "Why would I not be friend Cyborg? And please, who is this 'Star' you speak of?"

Beast Boy strolled rather comically over to her and slapped her back, "It's a nickname. We shortened 'Starfire' to 'Star'. Like how you can shorten 'Cyborg' to 'Cy' or 'Raven' to 'Rae'."

"How about we shorten 'Beast Boy' to just 'Boy'?" Raven said rather menacingly.

Beast Boy shrank back in fright at Raven's deadly expression. He held his hands up in defense. "Aww, come on Raven, it was just an example. I'm not gonna start calling you 'Rae' that would be wrong." Raven nodded in acceptance of his statement.

"Ah, okay! I shall accept this 'nickname' that has been bestowed upon me with happiness!" Starfire clapped her hands in delight.

"The food is done! We will feast like kings!" Cyborg said as he placed the last bowl onto the table. There was bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage, juice, tea-for Raven, and Beast Boy had a small section of tofu and soy food.

There was silence as the Titans stuffed themselves with the delicious food that Cyborg, with Beast Boy's help, had prepared.

"This food has a most wondrous taste! What do you call it?" Starfire held up a piece of the bacon.

"That's bacon! Only the most delicious, most beautiful, most wonderful thing that was given to man!" As he was saying this. Cyborg was piling more of the bacon onto his plate.

Beast Boy looked at him in disgust. He opened his mouth to say something, but looked at Starfire and closed it. Now is not the time to rag on Cyborg. Raven looked over at him and gave him a small smile, she felt the determination he felt and guessed as to what he was thinking.

"So…Star…what…what exactly did you dream about last night?" Nightwing asked.

The fork that was almost to Starfire's mouth stilled and fell out of her hand. At that, everyone's eyes were on her. She looked over at him then looked at the others. She looked down for a minute, and then surprised them by looking up with too big smile on her face.

"I know not what you speak of." She stood up with enough force to knock the chair over. "If you will please excuse me. I would like to return to my room." With that, she took off flying back to her room.

The others stood and stared at each other, their breakfast forgotten.

"Dude…why would you ask that." Beast Boy probed.

Nightwing clenched his fist. He stood up slowly. When he turned to go after Starfire, a hand landed on his shoulder. He turned and saw that it was Raven.

"Nightwing, perhaps I should go talk to her. She probably needs a shoulder to cry on."

"And she can't do that with me?" He ground out.

"No." At Raven's abrupt answer he cringed. At that Raven's eyes softened. "With you, she will most likely pretend to be perfectly fine. In order to get better, she needs to let this all out not keep it bottled inside."

Nightwing curtly nodded and Raven took off to Starfire's room. She lightly knocked. The door opened a crack.

"Starfire it's just me." When the door didn't open any further she sighed. "I came to talk to you. Just you and me."

The door jerked open. Raven apprehensively walked in. Starfire closed the door when Raven was fully inside her room. She flew over to the bed and plopped down. She tapped the spot next to her and Raven slowly sat.

"Star….what exactly happened to you after we met?" Raven didn't even notice the nickname had slipped out.

Starfire drew her lags to her chest and wrapped her arms around them.

"What did you see in my dream… no nightmare last night?" At her question Raven's eyes widened slightly. "I know what you are Raven. You are from Azarath, the planet where you can feel emotions among other gifts. Your planet is in the galaxy next to mine."

Raven nodded, "Well… You were beat and… and rap…" Raven couldn't finish the word.

Starfire only nodded. "You are correct. The Gordonians were very cruel creatures."

They sat in silence for a few minutes before Raven asked, "How long did it go on?"

"The beating or the raping?" Raven flinched at how easily it came out. When Starfire received no answer she continued, "The beating started when they first captured me. That was about a year before we met."

Starfire dropped her legs. "The raping started… I believe two years after we met." She laid back onto the bed.

"How did you deal with it?"

"I hoped and prayed for release." Starfire rolled over on her stomach and placed her head on Raven's lap. "Sometimes I begged for death to come, even considered ending it myself. But then I chastised myself, death would be a coward's way out."

Raven started stroking Starfire's head subconsciously. "How can you smile and be so happy? Especially when your mind is in so much chaos."

"Chaos? Oh! My mind is not in chaos. I am very aware of how it must be for you. I am able to control my emotions very well. " Starfire sat up onto her knees. "As for me being happy, I do not wish to dwell on the past and wonder about 'what ifs'. I choose to live for the now, not the past."

"If so, why did you run from us?"

Starfire looked embarrassed, "I did not know how everyone would react. I wanted to prepare myself for the worst."

"But, surely you must have known we would have done everything we could have to make you feel better. We all care about you Star."

Starfire shook her head slowly, "No." She raised a hand to her chest. "But I admit, with everyone I feel…safe." She then beamed at Raven. "Thank you friend Raven! You have eased my fears." She then pulled Raven up and they ran back to the living room.

The sight they met was just slightly amusing. Nightwing was pacing the floor. Beast Boy and Cyborg were trying to get him to sit down.

"Friends!" She ran to them with Raven in tow and pulled them into a group hug. "This has been a most joyous day!"

"So…are you all better now?" Beast Boy asked.

Starfire looked at him and nodded rapidly. "I am the o and kay! In fact, I have never felt such joy in my whole life." She started jumping up and down. "Perhaps we could have a marathon of the movies while ingesting the corn of pop and other sweets."

"I'm down with that." Cyborg said.

So they all sat on the couch. Beast Boy and Cyborg were fighting over the choice of movie. Starfire was giggling in happiness. Raven and Nightwing both looked at her, and then looked back at the squabbling two with a small smile on their faces. It was going to be a fun day.
