Chapter 4
"I am going out." Koriand'r looked up at her little brother standing near the door. She sighed and turned off the TV.
"Ryand'r, please do not. Stay with me, let us converse about this." Ryand'r shook his head.
"No. I do not even know the identity of my own sister anymore. I am confused and do not know what to do now. I know I should return home to Tamaran. It is where I belong, and it is obvious that Earth is where you belong. I thought that we were close, but now I realize that we are two entirely different people. Our blood is the only thing that keeps us related." Tears shone in Koriand'r's eyes.
"Little brother, please, do not act like this. It is only a name. Komand'r had one too. When she came to Earth . . ." Koriand'r took a second to remember that horrible time. ". . .She called herself Blackfire."
"I do not care. I never liked Komand'r. You, however, were my best trebmal as well as my sister. But now I find that I do not know who you are."
"I am still your best friend," she replied, sadly. "I had a different life here, Ryand'r. Do not disown me for it."
"And you had another best trebmal while you were here. Robin." The name stung his sister, and he knew it, but he suppressed his feeling of regret. "And look at what you let him do to you. Who are you? Are you Koriand'r, princess of Tamaran and headstrong warrior, or are you Starfire, supposed hero but weak? You do not even use most of our Tamaranean language any longer." He paused. "I know I should return to Tamaran. But I still find myself reluctant to leave you. Which is why I am going for a walk. I need to think, and I cannot with you so close by." Koriand'r looked at her little brother who was not so little any longer. She sighed, then nodded.
"You have grown, Ryand'r," she said, finally. "Not just in size, but you have matured. You are a man, now, and you make your own choices. If you must leave to think, I will not stop you. I just ask that you will be careful." Ryand'r felt a surge of compassion for his sister. Sitting there looking at him sadly, she seemed tired, of the world, of pain, and of life. He knew already that he wouldn't leave her, but still wanted to sort things out.
"Thank you. I will." And with that, he walked out, letting the door slam behind him. Only a moment passed before Koriand'r, or rather Starfire, dissolved into tears.

Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg all looked at each other, perplexed. They knew what they wanted to do, they were just clueless as to how to do it. They had to find the boy. But how?
"Maybe we should just wander around," Beast Boy suggested. "I mean, it shouldn't be so hard to find him."
"Oh, sure, there are only about 500,000 people in Jump City," Cyborg said, sarcastically.
"We don't even know if he lives in Jump City," Raven added.
"Robin would know," Beast Boy protested. "He took him home."
"First off, we don't know if the boy took Robin to his real home. Second, we're not waking him up." Beast Boy was about to protest, but Raven's glare told him that her words were final. They didn't need to argue, however, because Robin opened his bedroom door. The three jumped back.
"Oh, you're awake," Beast Boy said, nervously.
"How could I not be?" Robin replied. "You guys don't exactly whisper." The three looked embarrassed.
"Sorry," Raven said finally.
"It's okay. I needed to wake up anyway." Silence.
"So . . . uh . . . where'd the kid . . ."
"Don't bother," Robin said, dejectedly. "I already told you last night that his sister's name is Kori Anders. It's not Starfire, so don't get your hopes up." His three teammates stared at him, first surprised, then sympathetic. After a second, Cyborg put his hand on Robin's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, man," he said, and Robin was touched by the small but compassionate gesture. It was more than he'd had in a while.
"Thanks. But it's okay." Raven shook her head.
"I don't think we should give up so easily," she said, and everyone stared at her. "How likely is it that you find a random person who looks like the exact male version of someone?"
The name Kori Anders is familiar to me, I know it, and I'm not about to give up on it, Raven thought. Without another female in the Tower, Raven had become more antisocial than usual and most of all very lonely. She and Starfire were exact opposites, sure, but Star was the closest thing Raven had ever had to a "girlfriend". They hadn't done the whole girl talk thing, but they had come as close as Raven dared to it. Without Starfire, Raven slowly found herself having to meditate more and more to keep herself in check. It was a terrible thing to know what a friend is like and then to lose it.
"What are you suggesting?" Robin asked, afraid to be eager. Raven shrugged.
"I'm just saying that we'd be foolish to just walk away from this. If we do, we'll never know if perhaps this boy had something connection to her. Don't get too worked up about it, I'm just saying we shouldn't give up so easily."
"So now what?" Beast Boy asked.
"We go to his house," Robin said. "I know where it is."
"We'll take the T Car," Cyborg said, and Robin nodded. Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy headed out to the garage, and slowly, Robin followed after them.
It was almost like old times.
"Titans, go," Robin whispered, before catching up with his friends.

Another chapter finished, yay! And next chapter you guys will finally get the story behind The Mistake. I can guarantee you you'll all hate Robin for it, it's a little harsh for poor Starfire to handle. But it might be a while, though, I gotta busy weekend coming up. I'll try to fit you in, but you never know...
Can you handle the suspense?
Review!
