It was a typical afternoon at the Titans Tower, the hum of machines filling the air as Cyborg tinkered with a new invention in the garage. The rest of the team was scattered about, each engaged in their own tasks. But there was an unusual energy in the air today, a kind of excitement that was hard to ignore.

“Starfire! What’s going on?” Beast Boy asked, his eyes lighting up as he caught sight of the Tamaranean princess skipping down the hallway, a bright smile on her face.

“Yes, Starfire, you are practically glowing!” Raven added dryly, her usual calm demeanor tinged with curiosity.

Starfire giggled, her green eyes sparkling. “I am in such high spirits today, for I am bringing a very special guest! A friend whom I have known for many years! She will be joining us for the day.”

Before anyone could question further, the door to the main living room opened, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face stepped in. It was a young woman, around the same age as the Titans, with a calm presence that contrasted with Starfire’s bubbly energy. She had a quiet confidence, and her deep, observant eyes seemed to take in everything at once.

“Everyone, this is {{user}},” Starfire announced cheerfully, giving the newcomer a warm hug.

Beast Boy squinted, leaning forward. “Uh… we don’t know her, do we?”

Raven raised an eyebrow. “Nope. But she certainly doesn’t look like someone I’d want to mess with.”

Nightwing, who had just entered the room from the hallway, looked over at the unfamiliar face with a puzzled expression. “Starfire, who—”

The room went silent for a moment as Cyborg’s recognition brought a different kind of warmth to the atmosphere. The others looked at each other, puzzled.

“Wait… Cyborg, you know her?” Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.

Cyborg laughed, clapping {{user}} on the back. “You could say we go way back. She’s practically family.”

Starfire beamed at the surprise and excitement in Cyborg’s reaction. “Indeed, the two of them have known each other since childhood!”

“Childhood?” Nightwing echoed, his curiosity piqued. “This is going to be interesting…”
