Where Do I Belong?

The young girl gazed into the stars, knowing that somewhere out there was her true home. Her long reddish hair flowed softly in the wind, and because she was on the roof of her home, there was much stronger wind. It whistled in her ears, and she couldn't hear much, but that was alright. She did not need her hearing to think about a very pressing matter.

Ever since she had almost married that…thing, she had pondered a question that should have been easy. Where do I belong? She thought to herself. She should have known the answer right away. On Earth, or on Tameran? She had contemplated the thought for a long time. They both were appealing, and yet, it was hard to decide.

On Earth, were the most important thing to her. Her friends. They all had so many qualities about them that made her adore every one of them.

Raven, her older, mature sister, who always was there to help her, even when the alien girl annoyed her. Beast Boy, her silly younger brother, was always there to make her smile, even though the need did not arise often. Cyborg, her older, advice giving, loving brother. He always understood her, and did everything he could to help her.

Then there was Robin. What was he? Certainly not an older or younger brother. They were much closer than that. She mentally added Find out what Robin means to me to her mental notebook, which was slowing filling up. She had so many questions about Earth, her place in the Universe, her- she blushed at this thought- relationship with Robin…

All of these were reasons she loved Earth. The place itself, though filled with evil villains, was a most wondrous place to be. The colors and changing seasons, and-so much to know! She loved everything about it.

But her home. Her true home, it had things that Earth could never have. Her family. She could never fit in here like she wanted to. She was…an alien. On her home planet, people did not act differently from her, did not flinch at her strange eating habits and speaking manner, and…they understood her. And Galfore, her beloved knorfka (AN:SP????? Just know it means her weird nanny dude…) who had cared for her as a child. Everything was so confusing.

She deeply cared about earth, and she loved her home planet. Where do I belong? With friends I love and care about, or family who love me and understand me?

The wind was so loud, and she was so deeply absorbed by her thoughts, that she did not hear the door open and shut. She did notice when a certain Boy Wonder sat down beside her and looked at her with wide eyes- err…mask.

"What are you doing up here?"

So like Robin…always concerned for her. She did the same for him, and had been more protective of him ever since Slade had tried one last time to hurt Robin by making the dark a living hell.

She raised her eyes, and he couldn't help but notice that they were dimmed, showing that she was upset, confused, or both. He was betting on both.

"Nothing is wrong, Robin. Everything is wonderful!" She put on a false cheery look and smiled a fake smile. Robin rolled his eyes. He had known her too long to be fooled. He snorted and looked her straight in the eye. Even though she couldn't see his eyes, she could feel them burning through her.

"Robin, I have been very…confused, as of late." She chose her words carefully. "I am having trouble understanding where I belong."

His mask widened visibly, and he unconsciously reached out and grabbed her hand. He shook his hair, causing his wind blown hair to be even more messed up. He noticed her downcast eyes and put his hand under her chin to make her look at him.

"You belong here with us! Where else would you belong? We all need you…I need you…" he murmured softly, causing her eyes to fill with tears.

"Robin, you will never truly understand me. And I know it isn't your fault. I keep many things from you." – He grunted and said something like "It would have been nice to know you were a princess!"-"However, my people. They are…me! They have been raised as I have, and we can…what does Beast Boy say? Relate."

Robin shook his head once more, and unconsciously moved closer, his grip on her hand tightening. "Maybe we don't understand you, but…you will always belong with us! You're a really important part of the team, and we couldn't survive without you sometimes. You keep Raven open, humor Beast Boys ridiculous jokes, are like a little sister to Cyborg, and you're my best friend. We care about you…"

She began to hold her head up, and kept tilting it back until her eyes were once more on the stars. She picked up the hand they had together, never disconnecting it, and pointed it towards a bright star.

"That is my planet. Robin…I truly care for you and my fellow team mates. I just want to know if maybe I should be on Tameran. Where do I belong?" She thought she had just thought the last part, but Robin took her chin once more and forced her to look at him.

"You belong with me," he simply said, before pushing his mouth on hers. She was shocked a moment, before returning the kiss full force. She wrapped her hands around his head, and his went around her waist. When they broke, Robin was pleased to see the twinkle was back in her eyes. She smiled and pulled him forward, until her mouth was next to his ear.

"You are right Robin. I belong with you…wherever that is…"

Grinning at him, she pulled him back in.

The wonderful moral of this story is, that it doesn't matter where you are. It's who you're with that matters.

YAY! Another weird thing I've done! And this one was longer than 'Swimming Is Nice'. YAY! Plus, this one is more serious, but it's just going to be in my one shot series. YAY!

DAAAAAAAAAAAANY! WHERE ARE YOU?
