Well, it didn't take me that long to update! I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
I do not own the Teen Titans
The afternoon went on and I waited for my parents to get home. My sister has done so many things to me over the years and she never gets in trouble, but now she was going to. When my parents finally got home, they sat down in out living room with Kamie and me.
"Girls," my dad said, "we need to talk."
"Yeah we need to talk!" I couldn't hold myself back, "she almost got me killed yesterday! If Robin hadn't saved me, I'd be dead!"
"Not necessarily," my mom said. I just looked at her. "Kori, you're the one who saved yourself."
"What?" Kamie and I both said.
My dad turned to my mom and sighed.
"We've been needing to have this conversation for a long time now," he said, "You two are not from Earth."
"Excuse me?" Kamie said.
"You were born on the planet Tamaran," my mom explained, "You, Komand'r, and you, Koriand'r, are the only heirs to the throne of the planet."
"What did you call me?" Kamie asked.
"Tamaran has its own language," my mom clarified, "In that language, those are your names. In Earth language, or English I suppose, your names would be different. Kamie, your name would be Blackfire, and Kori, your name would be Starfire."
"So, can we go to this planet and visit our parents," Kamie asked.
"The planet was taken over by and alien race known as the Gordanians around fifteen years ago," my dad calmly said, "Your mother and I were the advisors to the king and queen, your parents. When the planet was attacked, they asked us to take you both somewhere safe. They were both killed in battle shortly after we left for Earth."
I did not believe any of this. "So, Kamie and I are aliens?" I asked.
My parents nodded.
"And this saved me from fall off a building how?"
My mom spoke up. "Tamaraneans, like you, have special abilities-"
"You mean I have superpowers?" Kamie cut her off.
"You both do," my mom continued, "Tamaraneans posses the ability to fly, have incredible strength, and to shoot bolts of energy out of your hands."
She lifted her hand to up to us. A globe of orange light surrounded it.
"Could you hurt someone with that?" Kamie asked.
"Extremely," my mom answered, the glow around her hand disappearing, "On a Tamaranean, it would cause burning, but on a human, it could kill them."
Kamie lifted her hand up and waited for a few seconds.
"I can't get mine to work!" she said, frustrated.
"There are certain emotions that you need to feel to use these 'powers' as you would call them," my dad said, "to make an energy bolt, you need to feel righteous fury. To feel your super strength, you need to feel boundless confidence. And to fly, you need to feel-"
"The joy of flight," I finished, realizing that I had saved myself and Robin.
"That is right, Koriand'r," my dad said, "That is how you saved yourself and Robin."
"I knew it wasn't his cape! That mean I kissed him for nothing-" I stopped when I become conscious of the fact that I was talking out loud. Both of my parents were looking at me with confused expressions. Kamie was looking at me like she wanted to kill me.
"Girls," my dad ended the silence, "most people do not know about Tamaran, so it would be best if we kept this to ourselves."
As I lay in bed that night, I couldn't believe it. This morning I had been a regular girl, but now I'm an alien princess with super powers! I hadn't really tried out my powers. I knew I could fly, since I'd already done it. And the other ones could wait until I had more time to practice. But through the darkness, I could see a purple light flash on and off, and I knew Kamie was practicing. I could also hear an occasional 'damn it' so I knew she wasn't good, but I'll admit, I was worried.
The next day was going to be glorious; I could feel it from the moment I woke up. I skipped around the house, smiling and getting ready until the bus came. I got in it and sat next to Raven, Gar right behind us.
"Why are you so happy?" Raven asked, "Did Kamie get in trouble for almost killing you?"
My smile faded. Kamie hadn't gotten in trouble. Gar and Raven could tell also.
"Look on the bright side," Gar chimed in, "you still have us!"
Raven gave him a death stare. He slouched back into his seat. The rest of the bus ride was mostly silent, well from the three of us.
When we got to school, Raven and I began to walk in the building, Gar trailing us.
"So, I'll see you guys at the pizza place this afternoon?" Gar inquired.
"Yeah," I answered, but his only answer from Raven was another death stare. Gar sulked off to his locker.
"Raven, you're always mean to Gar, but why are you being even meaner today?" I asked Raven.
Raven sighed.
"Is it because he kissed you yesterday?" I asked.
"No," Raven answered, "It's because he's a really good kisser."
She walked off, not waiting for me to reply. I always knew they would end up together. My smile returned, but it went away quickly when I saw what was down the hall, heading towards my locker: my sister. I began to swiftly make my way in her direction. I was ready to tell her off. My fury built up inside me, I was only concentrating on her walking down the hall. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I saw my sister stop and glare in my direction. I turned around and found myself face to face with Richard.
"Hi," I murmured.
"Look Kori," he began, "Um, I heard about what happened to you and I missed you at school yesterday and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out this afternoon."
And once again, a smile appeared on my face. "Sure," I said. Then I remembered that I was supposed to hang out with Gar and Raven this afternoon. "Oh, wait, I promised my friends I'd go get pizza with them this afternoon."
Richard looked completely devastated. I felt awful.
"Maybe you can come with us?" I offered. His face brightened. "You can bring one of your friends if you want."
"Great!" he said, his voice full of enthusiasm, "Victor and I will meet you there at three thirty!"
The bell rang and he turned to go to his next class.
"I'll see you this afternoon!" he called.
I turned back towards my locker. In the middle of the hall was my sister. I'm pretty sure there were flames coming out of her eyes.
I was so excited about my date with Richard I forgot to tell Raven and Gar, so they looked pretty shocked when he arrived with Victor Stone and headed to our table.
"Oh, guys, I forgot to tell you that I invited Richard and Victor to come," I quickly said. Raven and Gar sighed, but I knew they didn't mind. They had each other, even if they didn't realize it. Our table was outside and had a good view of the street below. Richard pulled up a chair and sat next to me. Victor sat in between him and Gar.
"I don't think I've met you before," Richard said to Raven and Gar.
"No you haven't," Raven said, "I'm Raven."
"And I'm Garfield, but you can call me Gar," Gar said eagerly.
"Richard," Richard shook their hands.
"And I'm Victor, but you can call me Vic," Victor said, his voice soundly exactly like Gar's had. I laughed.
"Dudes," Gar picked up the menu, "Let's get a large pizza with tofu and some soy breadsticks."
"And extra mustard!" I said. Everyone at the table looked at me. I shrugged. "I like mustard."
The afternoon went perfectly. Richard and I always had something to talk about, and I think Gar and Raven really like Vic. We made plans to hang out again, the five of us. I was on top of the world, and nothing could bring me down. Or so I thought as I made my way home. I had no idea what was in for me.
I really hope you all liked it! Please review because I want to know who is nice and likes my story! I always try to reply!
Keep it real, Starfirre
