We come to the next day, with Starfire roaming the tower, looking for he sister. Still wearing the necklace.

"Sister?" Starfire calls out as she searches the halls, "Sister, I seek you companionship"

We then come to Cyborg and Beast Boy on the couch; they are playing a racing game on the window/screen, their respective expressions tell right away that cyborg is winning.

"You want to pass me, but you can't pass me. You can't pa-" he begins to mock, only to loose confidence as Beastboys car zips past him "You passed me!"

"Tighten the turn...jets...and nitro!" Beastboy cheers with a jump and mini victory dance.

"Tell me, have either of you seen Blackfire?" Starfire asks as she comes up behind the two.

"Blazin' B? She was here just a second ago." Beastboy claims before becoming disappointed at cyborg passing him.

"Aw, yeah! Back in the lead!" Cyborg cheers with a heartily laugh.

"What fun! May I join your game?" Starfire asks hopefully.

"Winner plays Blackfire." Cyborg comments.

"Yeah. She rules at this game." Beastboy stays, very clearly smitten.

"I see." Starfire claims walking away dejectedly.

Starfire starts to roam around the tower, coming to a door; she reaches over and knocks. It slides open a small amount and reveals Raven peering out

"Is...my sister in there?" Starfire asks as she tries to peek in.

"No" Raven states simply as she tries to close the door

"Oh...Might you wish to hang out with me? We could visit your favorite depressing café." Starfire asks optimistically.

"Already been. It was open mic and Blackfire wanted to share. Your sister's poetry is surprisingly dark." Raven states closing the door.

As she begins down the halls again she quickly checks into Dekus room and notice he is still in costume, sitting in the middle of his room with his typical lightning sparking around him.

"Um... friend Izuku, what are you doing?" Starfire ask's hesitantly.

"I'm meditating Star, my Danger Sense has been off lately." Izuku explains.

"Oh, Um... may I join and perhaps we can partake in the hanging out?" Starfire asks.

"Mabey in a bit, I wanna fix this first, I'd hate to get in a fight and have Danger Sense not work right." Izuku states is a slightly solemn tone.

"I see, we'll good luck then." Starfire accepts while walking off.

Starfire heads off down the hall and sighs heavily. Through the open door to the gym, the shadows of Blackfire and Robin can be seen on the wall, in rather... odd position.

"That's perfect, Robin." Blackfire states as their shadows get closer, "Hold me just like that, and..."

We then come to see that Blackfire had just thrown the boy wonder careening to the opposite side of the room.

"Learned that move from a Ven-Zo master on Tyrus Three." Blackfire states confidently.

"Hello, Robin... and... my sister. Am I interrupting?" Starfire ask's skeptically.

"Not at all. Blackfire was just showing me some alien martial arts. How come you never taught me these cool moves?" Robin asks with a quirked eyebrow.

"Probably because she doesn't know them. I always was the better fighter." Blackfire claims with a cocky smirk.

"Come on. I'll show you the technique I once used to stop a raging orthax." Blackfire states as she drags Robin behind her.

"Friends!" Starfire cheers, flying into the common room balancing movies, popcorn, and a variety of snacks.

"I invite you to join me in the togetherne- wait.... Where is friend Izuku?" Starfire asks while scanning the common room.

"Oh. He said he was gonna go do a night patrol, something about seeing if Danger Sense is working again." Robin explained.

"Oh, ok... anyways I was just asking if you would all join me for a stay-home movie night! I bring you popcorn and non-cotton candies. Tell me, what sort of movie shall we view?" Starfire asks with her typical bubbly attitude.

"Action." Robin states.

"Comedy!" Beastboy cheers.

"Sci-fi." Cyborg claims.

"Horror." Raven deadpans, causing Star to drop the snacks.

"Perhaps a double feature?" Starfire sweatdrops.

"Forget the flicks, kids." Blackfire states from behind the group.

"We're going out!" Blackfire now in view, is seen wearing one of Starfires spare outfits.

"We are? Where did you-? Are those my-?" Starfire stutters out as Blackfire passes her.

"Heard about a party downtown. Cool crowd, hot music." Blackfire explains, ignoring Starfires questions.

"Yeah!" Beastboy exclaims.

"I'm in." Cyborg agrees.

"Why not?" Robin states.

Raven of course had her nose buried in her book.

"And it's in a creepy run-down warehouse." Blackfire adds, getting a slight look of interest from the monotone teen.

One by one the Titans file out, and leave Star behind for the party.

"Hey, sweetie, raided your closet. Hope you don't mind me borrowing your look." Blackfire claims as she floats past her baffled and flustered sister.

"Why not? You have already borrowed my friends." Starfire states with a sad expression.

And thus Starfire follows slowly behind with the fruits of her labor, scatterd about, in sad disarray, a plan for bonding that never saw action.

We come to the exterior of the creepy run-down warehouse, where a thumping dance beat can be heard within as multicolored lights pulse at the windows. Where the Blackfire followed closely by our teenage heroes, enter the raging party.

"Step aside, Earthlings, the queen of the galaxy has arrived!" Blackfire cheers while making her way through the rambunctious crowd.

Raven being a little more concerned than others, looks back the way they came and sees Starfire standing at a distance now. The fifth Titan moves hesitantly through the dancers and gets repeatedly jostled back and forth. Only to shake her head in embarrassment for their extraterrestrial comrade.

"Now don't tell me you big tough superheroes are afraid of a little dancing!" Blackfire cheers with a challenging laugh.

"Betcha Cyborg can do the Robot." Beastboy claims attempting a little bit of that old dance and receives a very unappreciative glare from the big bionic man standing next to him.

Blackfire dances across the screen in front of the pair, after which they and Robin start to get into the spirit of things. While Raven and Starfire watch from the sidelines.

"I take it you wish friend Izuku were here too?" Starfire asks trying to spark a conversation.

"This party is pointless." Raven states as a goth boy walks up next to her.

"Everything's pointless. Wanna go talk about it?" He states.

Which results in her looking sidewise at him and shrugging, both walk away leaving Starfire by herself. Noticing her new loneliness she makes an attempt to follow them, but decides not to.

Then a couple of slacker types pass behind her and back up for a closer look after moving clearly checking out the alien hottie.

"Hey, hot alien girl. You digging the scene?" The first douche asks.

"I...did not know we were supposed to bring shovels." Starfire claims nervously, which results in those within her surrounding area to laugh at her ridiculous statement.

We then come to the roof of the warehouse where Starfire sits on a ledge, with her head in hands.

"Perhaps I do not belong here after all." Starfire states sadly to herself.

"Hmmm, it seems danger sense is fine... so what was going on back there?" Deku questions as he ties the robber he just caught to a light pole.

"It could be that this world has a different definition of dangers" a calm voice states from behind.

"Hmm? What do you mean fourth?" Deku asks with and inquisitive look on his mask.

"Put it like this... back in our original world a villain like the ones you've encountered here could easily be handled by even the weakest of heroes... but to this world they are seen as devastating." The 4th explains rationally.

"Oh I get it!" Deku states as he pounds his fist into his palm, "Danger Sense has been fine tuned to detect what our world would consider a threat, but in this world it still has to adjust and calibrate!"

"Precisely, all we need to do is give it some time." The 4th explains before being disrupted by the distinct sound of Dekus T-phone ringing.

"Oh! Hold on... yes?... WHAT?!... THEIRS MORE?!... your fine?... ok... yeah... alright I'll meet you guys back at the tower... yup... Deku out."

"Sorry to cut this short! But I gotta get back." Deku states as he charges up OFA for another mighty leap, "Thanks 4th!" Deku calls out as he propels himself towards the illuminated tower across the water.

A final time skip brought to you by Chibi past holders cheering for Deku

Upon arriving the first thing Deku (who was still in costume, with OFA activated) got an answer for was what exactly happened. To which cyborg explained the fight with the three other alien probes, and the "newest" Titans member.

"Woah woah woah! You guys can't do that! We just met her!" Deku whisper shouts at the others, as to not alert the alien girl in question.

"Why not? That's what we did with you." Beastboy claims with a cocky smile.

"Well yes, but I had been in the city for almost a year while being monitored by you guys for 5 months straight. She!" He states while jolting a black tendril at the purple tameranian, "showed up yesterday, and her only voucher is winning you guys over, and Starfire."

"Look I get why your skeptical." Cyborg claims, "but we need to be mor-"

Sadly, the bionic man could not finish his sentence due to the sudden blaring of the towers alarm system.

"ALERT! ALERT! MOTION TRIGGER ACTIVATED NEAR TOWER ROOF! REQUESTING ASSISTANCE!"

"Wait! Starfire and Robin are up their!" And with a resounding boom, explosion of electricity, and a mini hurricane, deku was off like a bullet, and with blinding speed he reached the roof, and running eith Robin looked to him for explanation, only to receive an order.

"DEKU! THROW ME AT THAT SHIP!"

And so, by repeating the same maneuver they pulled at the carnival, Deku swung Robin around with more momentum, speed, and power than last time. And like a rocket, the Robin took flight. With a Deku in close pursuit.

Latching onto the bottom with Robin they both overhear the aliens plan to take Starfire, resulting in a very angry Robin, "Nobody's taking her away."

They both then vault onto the deck and land facing the lobster like alien crewman at the force-field holding cell.

"Our friend stays here!" Deku states with black whip and OFA raging.

The Captor roars and charges at then with a swing of his right arm, but Robin easily dodges this, and Deku grabs the arm and swings the alien onto its back, knocking the wind out of him.

The alien quickly recovers and throws a roundhouse that barely misses the Boy Wonder. The alien then dodges a black tendril that was shot at him by Deku, and resorts to the cannon mounted on his arm.

Robin leaps away from the shots and Deku dodges them expertly, several of which hit the force field holding Starfire and bounce off, the creature now enraged charges and attempts to slash at the two but to no avail. An overhead swing crackles upon impact with the field and leaves his underarm exposed for Deku's 25% counter-punch. Which upon impact resonates with a resounding crack, and sends sparks up from the armor and pushes the aggressor back, grunting in pain from the dislocated joint.

Both young men then retreat to a spot near one of the ship's engines. When suddenly Danger Sense flairs up causing Deku to barely help him and Robin dodge a green tentacle, which hits the edge of Robins cape and deflects into the engine, causing it to flame out.

"No!" Yells out the alien piloting the craft.

The craft begins to lose altitude, throwing his colleague off balance and putting the brawl on hold for the time being as it plunges through the clouds and just barely skims a riverbank.

"I cannot control it!" The pilot yells to his colleague as they try desperately to hold on.

Robin scrambles across the deck to the control button and deactivates the force field. The ship descends ever closer to the river as he peels the tentacles away from her body.

"Robin!" Starfire cheers relieved to be saved.

"Come on!" Robin yells.

Then two inky black tendril's wrap around them and yank them into the air, as the safely float by their green friend.

Finally lowering themselves down by the river bank of the Titans island, right next to the crash site they come across the others.

"Star! Robin! Deku!" Beastboy yells as he and the the other Titans run up to them.

"You guys okay?" Cyborg asks concerned, before he and the others grind to a halt, as the Titans go on guard due to the unharmed and now standing aliens that are marching towards them.

"Titans! Get ready!" Robin calls out.

"In the name of the Grand Centauri Empire, you are all under arrest." The second aliens states as he flashes a badge, stunning the titans.

"Uh...you can't be the good guys. We're the good guys." Beastboy claims baffled.

"And we are Centauri police." The now identified Centaurian officer states.

"The Tamaranean girl is a liar and a thief. She's committed high crimes throughout the entire Centauri system." The first officer claims while pointing at Starfire.

"I have never even been to the Centauri moons!" Starfire claims, looking down at the green gem hanging from her necklace, with her and both Deku and Robin now understanding the truth.

"But I know someone who has." Robin states as he removes the necklace and holds it in the air.

Starfire gasps as the pieces of the framing fall together in her brain.

"You've been chasing the wrong girl." He states throwing the necklace away and turns to his team, "Where's Blackfire?"

"Uh..." is all Beastboy can say as he points to the sky, where a black dot is quickly retreating into the abyss of space.

"Don't worry, Star. She won't get away with this." Robin states nodding towards Deku, prompting him to apprehend the fleeing alien.

But before he could take off in pursuit of the fleeing tameranian, Starfire spoke up with a tone of pure furry, "No, she will not!"

Taking off at blinding speed she quickly catches up to her felon of a family memeber.

"Hello, sister." Starfire states with a cold tone.

"Aww, you're mad. I know, I should have told you I was leaving, but you know how I hate goodbyes and-" Blackfire begins before being interrupted by a furious Starfire.

"You are a criminal, and you were going to let me take your place in jail!"

"Oh...well...yeah." The crook replies with a nervous expression.

"You will give back what you have stolen and turn yourself over to the police!" Starfire exclaims to her sisters face.

"And what will you do if I don't?" Backfire asks while leaning away.

Starfire doesn't have an immediate answer which allows her sister to charge a star bolt, and hit Star in the face causing her to stumble and get put off track.

"I always was the better fighter" Blackfire states with a smirk.

"Not anymore!" Starfire states as she corrects her flight path.

Blackfire unloads a machine-gun barrage of starbolts; Starfire flies through them all without so much as getting her hair singed and gathers herself for a crushing counterstrike. This shot connects with Blackfire's hand and makes the one she was about to throw fizzle out.

One very angry little sister rises to stare her down; both hands hidden in the dazzling radiance of the starbolts she is holding in check. Blackfire merely laughs in her face, but trails off into surprised yells as an inky black tendril, and a lime green tentacle whip in from behind to tie her up. Starfire turns to look toward the source, seeing the very same aliens they were just fighting, and Deku standing on the deck of the now repaired ship.

"Blackfire of Tamaran, you are under arrest." The pilot states as both Deku and and the Centauri slowly reel her in.

"Farewell, sister! Although you did betray and attack me, it was...still very nice to see you." Starfire states with a cheery wave.

"Next time, it won't be so nice. I will get out of jail, little sister, and I will get even!" Blackfire claims as she gets restrained.

Sitting on the roof and looking out towards the sunset, Starfire decides to reflect on what has been a very stressful day.

"Hey. How are you doing?" Robin asks as he sits next to her.

"I am...sad for my sister." Starfire claims with a solemn stare into the sea.

"And for yourself?" Robin asks with concern for his friends mental health.

"I am just glad that the truth was discovered before I was replaced." Starfire states with sad sigh.

"What are you talking about?" Robin asks.

"Well, you...everyone was having such fun with her, and then Cyborg said-" Starfire begins to ramble only to be interrupted by Robins kind hands and words.

"Look. Your sister was interesting, but she could never take your place. No one could ever take your place." Robin states with a sweet smile,
