Mitch Ballard - Starfire, Cypher, Warlock and Robin - "What a cunning linguist!"

I've always loved the sheer silliness of Starfire having the power to absorb languages by physical contact. Created as a quick piece of short hand to explain how she could learn English so quickly.

In the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover, she does it again, kissing Colossus to learn Russian (For some reason she chooses not to take Nightcrawler up on his offer of German). Kitty Pryde was annoyed at "the hussy" for doing such a thing, and I'm sure later one complained about her to her friends back at the X-Mansion.

Of course, ONE of her friends might have seen things in a slightly different light... Doug Ramsey has so much to offer her, and so much to gain!

Mitch took an idea I've had in my head for years, and did a lovely job of brining it to life, even turning it into a sequential page!

Oh, and Warlock popping up as the world's best wingman, taking care of Starfire's current boyfriend, who might object to Doug's plan, is an extra treat
