Author's Note: I'm baaack! Actually, I didn't go anywhere; I just got a bad case of writer's block for this story and spent a lot of time writing something else. If you enjoy Teen Titans AND Divergent, you should check it out! Shameless self-promotion over, at long last, enjoy chapter 10!

DISCLAIMER: Still don't own Teen Titans

Chapter 10

The weeks after my wreck passed quickly. I didn't get to go out very much, since I was so reliant on other people to get around. I had to fallen into somewhat of a routine. Babs and I would go to classes as usual during the day. At night, Richard would pick me up and we'd train, go on patrol or actually get some quality couple time and talk wedding plans.

After about a month and a half of going on like this, I had somehow found comfort in this routine. I was never alone, and I always felt safe. Babs and I were walking back to our dorm after a particularly brutal psych exam. The conversation somehow got turned into talking about wedding plans as she unlocks the door.

"So, Karen is going to design your dress?"

"That's the plan. I've seen her work; I really want to help her business take off. She's really talented."

"That's so sweet. Have you picked your maid of honor yet?"

We step inside our dark dorm room and I slip off my holo ring.

"Yeah, I have. I'm gonna ask Rachel; she's like the sister I never had."

"Ouch, that really hurts to hear you say that little sis."

I gasp and Babs turns on the light. Sure enough, sitting on my bed is my older sister, who's supposed to be in jail. I power up my starbolts; ready to attack.

"Koma! What the hell are you doing here?!"

"What? Can't a girl come and visit her baby sister without getting interrogated?"

"You tried to kill me. Multiple times. So, no, you can't just show up out of nowhere without raising suspicion!"

My sister shrugs, as if attempted murder was no big deal.

"Well, yeah, but that was three years ago. Gotta move on from the past, Kori. Besides, I come in peace, believe it or not."

"I'm gonna go ahead and not believe you."

Before my sister can respond, there's a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Richard. Are you ready to go?"

Crap, I forgot Richard and I had a date tonight. I nod at Babs to open the door, who's just been sitting quietly, watching the Anders family drama in front of her. She lets Richard in and I power down to smile at my fiancé. He was smiling too until he looked behind me and saw my sister. His smile quickly turns into a scowl.

"Blackfire! What are you doing here?"

"If everybody would stop interrupting me, I can explain. I got out of jail early for good behavior."

"No you didn't."

"Right you are, sister dear. I broke out. But I simply had to come and see you when I heard the news."

"What news?"

"Your engagement, of course."

My eyes widen in surprise.

"H-how did you know about that?"

Koma chuckles darkly before answering.

"Your transmission to Galfore was intercepted. It's the scandal of the century in our galaxy. The beautiful princess Koriand'r of Tamaran, engaged to a human. It's risqué, even by Tamaranian standards." She looks Richard up and down with lust in her eyes. "No matter how incredibly tall, dark and handsome said human is. Hello Richard. Adulthood has been kind to you."

"And you're the same tramp you were three years ago."

My sister flinches at Richard's harsh words.

"Ouch. I am not a tramp. Part of the perks of being banished from Tamaran, I don't have to follow that stupid Imprinting law."

"So you're admitting you sleep around?"

"Well, no. I WAS in jail; not many opportunities to get it in."

I sigh and rub my temples. At some point during this conversation, Babs had snuck out of the dorm, either because she felt awkward or to go find help.

"What are you really doing here, Koma?"

My sister snorts and smirks, as if I had just asked a stupid question.

"Isn't it obvious? I broke out of intergalactic prison; I'm hiding here."

"You can't hide here. In fact, you can't hide at all."

"Oh, for X'hal's sake, don't tell me you're still obsessed with your little do-gooder hero act?"

I power up again, this time because I'm angry. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Richard pull out his Bo staff. I used to think it was weird he wore his utility belt under all of his clothes, but this is one of those times I'm grateful he does.

"It is not an act! I'm a hero because I believe in good winning over evil!"

My sister laughs darkly and powers up too. I don't think my dorm room is prepared for a fight like this.

"And you're the one who judges what's good and what's evil? How very conservative of you. I don't think I'm evil. I think I'm an opportunist. Everything I have done, I've done to further myself in life. I've done things for nothing more than my own pleasure and entertainment. And what has helping others done for you? All you've done is fight your primal instincts."

"And yet you're the one who should be behind bars. And I'm the one in college and happily engaged to the love of my life."

"You're also the one caging her true desires."

I lunge at my sister, crashing her into the wall. I was sloppy when I pinned her though, a mistake that earns me a swift, hard kick in the gut. Before I can catch my breath and attack her again, Richard cracks her over the head with his Bo staff and knocks her out. I lift up my shirt and see a bruise the shape of Koma's foot starting to form.

"Ow. Damn, I forgot how strong she is."

I gently touch the bruise while Richard cuffs Koma.

"Do you think she broke any of your ribs?"

I apply pressure to the bruise. It hurts, but it doesn't feel broken. I shake my head and get up off the floor.

"Guess I should contact the Centauri police; let them know we have their prisoner."

We hear something outside and I peek outside the window to see the same ship that had captured Koma the first time she was arrested.

"Looks like they found her."

Just in time too; Koma is starting to wake up. Richard sticks his head out the window, trying to attract as little attention as possible. Luckily the ship isn't very big or loud and people don't have much of a tendency to look up nowadays. Koma wakes up and realizes what's going on.

"Wait! Kori! There is a real reason I came here! I want to make amends! Please don't send me back to jail! I'm sorry! I love you!"

I squeeze my eyes shut tightly and ball my fists. She's trying to manipulate me into letting her go. I wish that she was telling the truth so badly. Richard can see my struggle and hands Koma over to the police. They fly away before she can see me start to cry. Richard closes the window and pulls me into a hug. We don't end up going on our date. He holds me while I cry.

"I- I've lost my whole family…"

"That's not completely true. You still have Galfore. And you have Rachel and Gar and Vic and Bee… And me, of course. And we'll always be a family, Kori."

I sniffle and smile a little.

"I love you. Thank you. You're right. We may not be Titans anymore, but we're still a family."

He kisses my forehead.

"I love you too. And we'll always be together."

D'aww! It's so fluffy! It would've been more plot moving, but you know, life and the sorts. Hey! I'm graduating High School next week! Wanna know what would be an awesome graduation present? Reviews! Until next time! -Starprincess
