Disclaimer: Okay, not mine, people. I don't own Teen Titans. It's not really that hard of a concept, see . . .

Rory: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! My disk that this chapter was originally saved on was unformatted, and while reformatting it, I lost the chap. I am sooooo sorry!

I guess I'd better start typing it, eh?

Okay. Now for reviews. . .

ArcherGirl87: Thanks. In the comics, Star's brother really is named Ryand'r.

EMBER91: Hey Ems! Yeayity then.

shadowedstar213: Yep, that's them, all right. Have fun with this story.

starfirefan05: Thanks. Yeah, he does, but it'll explain it in this chapter.

HeavensAngel009: Heh thanks!

Raidersrule76: Yeah. Basically. Only he'll get a new name (Like Star did.) Anyhow . . Yeah. Read on.


The Titans gave wary looks to the newcomer. Beast Boy was being his normal annoying self. "Who're what're you?" he asked, tilting his head to one side.

The teen tilted his head to mirror Beast Boy. "Earth, sonyog, Koriand'r? Kinag – konnichiwa? Ohayou?"

He blinked in response. "Wha?"

Ryand'r tried again. "Svegen se Deutsch? Parlai vous Francais?"

"What are ya sayin' there?"

"Hablo Espanol?"

The green teen just blinked at him. "Don't you speak English like Star?"

"Ohhhhh," Ryand'r said, relieved. "English, you speak!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Robin said. "Star, how does your brother know English so well? And how does he know all those other Earth languages? Raven spent months teaching you to speak our language!"

She shrugged. "I do not know."

Ryand'r glared at Robin. "You could have asked me, you know. I am not incompetent in this language."

Suddenly, a loud creaking noise came from the Luand'r. They turned, and Ryand'r flew back over. "k'ieZ miori, Korian, k'ieZ miori." He lifted the hatch, and reached inside. A girl's head popped out. Her eyes were sapphire blue, and her skin looked like that of Starfire and her brother. The matching azure hair was split into two braids. She didn't look very old, possibly thirteen or so, and she was wearing a black and white outfit that looked similar to the one Blackfire wore. She wore black leggings under the short, tight skirt, and a black cloak stuck out from under the neck-wraparound-thing. The gems on her arms were smooth onyx stones. A band of white metal wrapped around her left arm.

"Great, another one," Raven muttered. Robin elbowed her.

"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked quite rudely.

She stared at him, blue eyes wide. The girl tugged on her braids. "kublai natchez skeY, Ryan?" she asked. Then, she noticed Starfire, and she slid from the top of the Luand'r. In very bad English, she said, "You are the Fire-Star? The one of the Titans Team?"

"Teen Titans, and I am called 'Starfire' on Earth," the Tameranian replied patiently. "Are you a friend of my brother's?"

She shook her head. "They – ed-name I Koriand'r," she said. "For you."

Ryand'r smiled. "Korian helped me to come to Earth," he said. "I have a lot to tell you, sister!"

Cyborg spoke up. "We'd love to hear it, man," he said.

He paused. "I guess I should start from the beginning?" he said with a look to Starfire's face.

She nodded. "I would like to hear the story. I am not much a part of it."

"All right." He sat on the ground and pulled Korian with him, setting her on his lap like she was his five-year-old little sister. "I was born in the Tameranian palace in Kori's first year and Koma's second year. When I was five, my sisters were sold to another race as slaves. I was kept because I was a male, and I was supposed to be a king. It is my fault, really, that Kori and Koma were sold.

"It was peaceful at the palace until I was seven Earth years old.

"Then, a race called the Promethionians captured me. They knew that Tameranians had immense strength, and that those of noble blood – green blood – could shoot the starlight. They thought, 'who better than the daughter of the king?' But the daughters were gone. The Promethionians took me.

"For years, they ran experiments on me and injected a serum into my blood. It hurt a lot. I later found out that it was knowledge. I was given the knowledge of every language known in the universe to the Promethionians, which was a great many. I also gained other powers: I can shape my starbolts now.

"But the potion had other effects." He paused. "As you can see, my blood changed color, and my eyes are red now, and my hair darkened. So did the stones of my family, and the life-metal that covers my arms and neck.

"They did not know why it happened, but it did. They wanted to run more experiments on me, but I did not let them." Ryand'r grimaced. "I escaped when I was fourteen.

"From the asteroid the Promethionians inhabited, I went home to Tameran. I made a wrong turn, and landed on Korian's planet by mistake. She found me and helped me."

The girl nodded, and held out her hand, palm up. A bluish image of her helping an amber-haired and hazel-eyed Ryand'r appeared in a globe. He smiled at her and nodded. "Korian is our cousin. Her mother is our mother's sister, Kori," he told Starfire.

"From there, we were able to find my planet. But it was not as I left it. Father had been killed, Mother was gone, and Komand'r had taken over. She tricked me into thinking that she still loved me as family, and while I was sleeping, she had the guards haul me into the dungeon." He scowled.

"While Korian and I were there, I heard from another prisoner that four mere teenagers from somewhere that was not Tameran were there. I wished to talk to them, because I knew that Kori was there. Komand'r had told me that much of my other sister, at least, unlike anything else. But before I could figure out a way, I was told they had escaped and liberated the Princess Koriand'r from her betrothal. I was furious. Nobody knew I was there and I was not released until well after you left.

"After that, I built a ship, and Korian helped me. We worked, bought maps, and made our way towards Earth.

"And so we have found you," he said happily. "It took a long time for us to discover what city, and what country, and where you were, but we did it. We found you." He leaned over and gave Starfire a one-armed hug. "We are a family now, Kori, you and me and Korian. We are all we have left."

She gazed at her brother levelly. "You are wrong, Ryand'r," she said softly. "I have my friends. I have the Titans as well. They are my other family."


Awww, how sweet! Anyways, that's chapter two!

A little note about the languages: At the beginning, Ryand'r was saying "Earth, right, Star? Maybe – hello?" When he was getting Korian out, he was saying "I'm sorry, Koiran, I'm sorry." Korian was saying "Who are they, Ryan?" in reference to the other Titans. If you can't tell, her language is really messed up.

Anyhow, I'm done now!
