Chapter 2

Koriand'r looked up as her little brother walked through the front door.

"You have returned?" she asked, surprised. Ryand'r nodded.

"Yes, I was . . . rescued, I suppose."

"Please, you were rescued? I do not understand. Where is Kendrick?"

"Some . . . people thought that Kendrick was capturing me, so they took away his Tamaranean military arms and imprisoned him." Koriand'r gasped.

"Ryand'r, that is terrible! What did you do?" He shrugged.

"Nothing. Kendrick was a bit of a . . . glorfork, and I really didn't care if they took him away." Starfire nodded absentmindedly, because she held the same opinion about the Tamaranean royal servant. "Besides, I want to stay with you." Koriand'r looked at him, surprised.

"But Ryand'r, you have remained on Earth too long. It is time for you to return home."

"Then come with me," he pleaded. "Tamaran is your home too." She shook her head, slowly.

"No. It is not any longer, and you know this. I belong on Earth."

"But why?" Ryand'r asked furiously. "Earth has done nothing except hurt you!"

"My heart belongs here."

"What heart? You told me that your heart was destroyed." His voice became softer as he finished his sentence, realizing that he was being too harsh with a fragile matter. Koriand'r's eyes became teary.

"Not destroyed, it was broken" Her brother was worried about her now as he saw the hurt in her eyes. He mistook the pain to be physical, as Koriand'r once did.

"Can we sew it back up?" he asked, and Koriand'r almost laughed. Almost.

"No, little brother, it is not that kind of broken. It is an Earthly expression. When one's heart loves someone greatly, but that someone hurts them, the heart is torn between loving and letting go. Eventually it is torn so much that is breaks. But not physically," Koriand'r added quickly upon seeing the alarmed look on her brother's face. "It just feels as if it has been torn in two."

"Is there anyone who can fix it?"

Only the one who broke it, she thought, but didn't say so. "Who took you from Kendrick and locked him up?" she asked, changing the subject without answering his question. The siblings shared a look; they both knew what his answer would be. But Koriand'r wanted to hear it.

"The Teen Titans," Ryand'r said, finally, and Koriand'r could feel her heart aching as he said the words. It had been so long since she'd seen them or talked to them, but she'd never forgotten. It had been a year, and perhaps to some that doesn't seem long, but when you care deeply for someone, as Koriand'r cared for her Titan friends, one day is forever. Since then, Koriand'r had grown, and she assumed so had the Titans, but she could only hope that they hadn't forgotten about her. She knew that they didn't know she had returned to Earth so they couldn't possibly have gotten in touch with her, but it still upset her that it had been so long without any contact at all. She had wanted to, many times, but was too scared. After all, she had just left. But how could she not? She was supposed to, anyway, and then Robin had given her the perfect reason to.

But he didn't have to do it so brutally. His tone had been harsh, his words cutting . . . but she didn't want to get into that again.

"I would have thought they would bring you home," she commented, curious as to why Ryand'r had come in by himself. That wasn't like the Teen Titans, at least not back when she was with them. They always escorted a victim home. But it had been a year since she had been with the Titans, and perhaps they had changed.

"Yes," Ryand'r said, tentatively. Koriand'r stared at her little brother.

"Then why did they not come in and make sure that you were delivered safe and sound?" Ryand'r hesitated, sure that his sister would either be angry or upset at his reason. But he saw no way out of the truth. He looked at his feet.

"Robin brought me home," he began, and Koriand'r's heart stopped completely. She was sure she was going to die, because she found herself unable to breathe as well. She had thought of him many times, envisioned him, but never since she had told her story to her little brother had she heard his name again. And now that the name was verbalized, she felt herself relive the night all over again.

And it was even harsher the second time.

"Sister, you look ill," Ryand'r said, wishing he had never said anything. "I'm sorry, I did not mean to bring him up, it was not that he did not want to see you, he just did not recognize your name and I did not want you to . . ."

"Did not recognize my name?" That was the final stab in the heart. Koriand'r felt herself collapse, and didn't even hear her brother cry out her name. She hit the ground painfully, but by then she was so emotionally numb that physical pain was nothing compared to what she had gone through.

Next thing she knew, her brother's face was hovering over hers, green met green, and she blinked. The concern that showed on his face was welcoming; it was always nice to know someone cared. And then she remembered the reason she fainted.

"How could he forget me?" she whispered in a small voice that caused Ryand'r to feel a pang in his heart. His poor sister.

"Perhaps he is just very flortka," Ryand'r suggested after a moment, and Koriand'r looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

"How would being foolish account for this?"

"Well, I told him your name was Kori Anders, maybe he just did not realize that Kori Anders put together and without the 's' is Koriand'r." Her eyes fluttered and her heart leapt.

"Koriand'r," she said, her voice rising slightly.

"Er, yes," Ryand'r replied.

"Koriand'r," she repeated. "You told him my name is Koriand'r!" Now Ryand'r was the puzzled one.

"Well, yes, is not that your name?" For the first time in too long, a genuine smile spread across Koriand'r's face.

"Not here it isn't. Here, I am Starfire."

Okay I don't have much time to write up an author's note, but I will say that while yes, it's always possible that the Titans will continue anyway, I've seen the current titles of next season and the last three were called "The End" so it doesn't seem likely. But I have hope, I'll always have hope, lol.

Thank you SOOO much to all who reviewed, I love you guys so much. Your reviews keep the story going, so keep it up!
