I wake up to find Dick staring at me.

"What? Have you never seen anyone who's half Light Fey before?" "No. I've known someone who's half Light Fey for 12 years. But that's not why I'm staring at you."

He picks up what looks like scales off the floor and hands them to me.

"Do you know what these are?" "I should. They're...from my wings. The only reason I would be losing these is if a strong emotion were affecting me. I think I know what emotion it is. It's something that Fey aren't the best at dealing with." My voice softens. "Grief."

He sits down next to me. "I know you miss him. But, as I've said before, he never really left you."

I nod. "I know he didn't. But...I don't know how to deal with the fact that it seems like the pain is getting worse every day. The fact I'm shedding wing-scales is proof of that. I know you're there to ease the pain, as my brother, as well as you can but...It just hurts so much you'd think he died yesterday when, in reality, it's been a little more than 5 months." I whisper under my breath. "In a perfect world he'd still be here*"

He smiles, doing one of the many things he can to cheer me up. "And where you go he'll be there with you Forever he'll be right here with you**"

Dick knows I'm big on music and he's also very familiar with it. He's been there for all 7 concerts I've given. One of them was at his wedding. Anyway, besides singing, I play guitar and write my own songs. I've been playing guitar since I was 4 and, out of the many songs I've performed, I especially like ones with awesome guitar solos.

Oh. Almost forgot to mention this. Fey is the preferred term for fairy these days. The fact that I can fly really should go without saying. I also know a good deal of magic and enchantments. Before you ask, no, I don't use a wand. I don't need to. Don't need to say anything either.

Need to go back again, don't I? The person I lost was my Father. Please don't make me talk about him. Just thinking about him hurts. I never knew my Mom but I did find out about her recently. I also found out that Puck is in my family tree and I'm a princess. Not taking the throne though. Mainly because, if I did, I'd have to stay with my people. I may not get it until I'm 18 and 17 now but my height will tell you otherwise.

I am...finally 5 feet tall. I can't help but grin on discovering that. Look, Dad, your flower's growing. I rub my silver heart-shaped locket that I wear every day. I still love you, Dad. I always will.

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Babs, Dick's wife who's felt like a sister since the day we met, and Kaylee***, my cousin, come our way. Kaylee has more Fey blood than I do. It's obvious by her height. Despite the fact she's 8 years old, she's eighteen inches tall. I recently found her and, like me, she can speak Ancient Fey. My Dad taught me that language along with everything I know about the heritage that Kaylee and I have. Dick also knows some Ancient Fey words. The language may be a little complicated but it's kind of comforting hearing him speak it. I know a lot more languages than he does though. In fact, I know every language including animals.

I should probably tell you more about my cousin, shouldn't I? Unlike me, she can't tuck in her wings. Hers are purple, like her eyes, and they have navy blue edges. They respond to her emotions. In case you were wondering about my wings, well, they're a lot more colorful. I have every color of the rainbow on mine because I was born on Christmas under the rainbow colored light of the Wishing Star. Back to Kaylee. She has waist length dark brown hair. We obviously have quite a few things in common. My hair is waist length too but it's brown and, instead of purple, I have hazel eyes.

Kaylee looks up at me. "Hey H. What have you got planned today?" "Nothing much...Besides checking in at the Watchtower, I mean." She grins. "Cool. I was wondering if I was going to go back there." "Well, now you know." I show her my identity card. Her grin widens. "You're part of the Justice League. That is so cool!" I can't help but grin wider too. "Yeah, it is pretty awesome, isn't it?"

It's not long before we're ready to go. Since I don't know if Kaylee can breathe in space, I conjure up a [teleport-vial] that will get us to the Watchtower. The distance it will be taking us is pretty far, so conjuring it took quite a bit of energy out of me. I crunch it under my foot, feeling grateful that my magic made it so our appearance won't draw attention. We'll be appearing in an empty part of the Watchtower.

It takes a while for us to appear. When we do get there, my grin widens. It feels good to be back.
