Wow, it took me soooooooooo long to update! Sorry! But, I feel that the excitement for this story has died down. I will admit, this chapter is short but it makes the story 10 times more interesting! So, I'm pretty sure this story is only going to have 10 chapters total. Enjoy it!

Ido not own the Teen Titans

I just stood there in the street as people began to come out of their hiding spots. Raven ran up to me.

"Why in the hell did you do that?" She yelled. "You could have gotten yourself killed!"

"Look, I'm sorry," I said.

"What made you run out there? What could you have done?" She asked.

"I…I…" I stuttered, "I could not have done anything I guess."

Raven sighed. "Come on," she said, "Let's get out of here."

I followed her to her car, and we drove off. We rode in silence until we reached my house.

"Kori," Raven began as she stopped the car, "You've been acting weird lately. Do you need to tell me something?"

"Raven, how about you spend the night with me tonight?" I asked.

"That'd be cool," Raven said as I got out of the car.

I walked in my house. I didn't know if I should tell Raven the truth or not. She was my best friend, but would she even like me if I told her I was an alien?

Raven arrived around seven. She'd spent the night with me so many times; my parents didn't think it was a big deal. She brought her stuff into my room and sat down.

"Do you want to talk now?" She asked.

"Yeah," I answered, "I do not feel like we are being honest with each other."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well, we are best friends, right?"

Raven nodded.

"So we should not keep secrets from each other."

"I agree," She said, "I want to show you something I've never shown anyone else."

Raven reached into her bag and pulled out two red gems. They were half-spheres and were in a gold setting.

"My mom gave these to me when I was born," she explained, "she dad my dad left them for me before he walked out on us."

"Oh," Is all I could say.

I knew that Raven lived with her mom. She had never seen her dad before.

"I know it doesn't seem like that much, but these are really important to me, because, well, I have a matching one on my forehead."

"What?" I asked.

She began to rub her forehead. After about a minute, she moved her hand. I could see a stone on her forehead. I was identical to the gems in her hands, except it was in a diamond shape.

"I've been covering it up with makeup since I was a child," she said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I don't know," Raven sighed, "But it doesn't come off. I've tried."

"Does it have anything to do with those?" I pointed to the stones.

"Maybe."

She held them out to me. I took them and admired them. They were beautiful stones, probably worth a lot of money. I turned them over in my hand and spotted something. There were three words engraved on the back of each one.

"What does that say?" I asked Raven.

She took the jewels out of my hands and looked closely at them.

"Azarath, Metrion," she squinted her eyes as she tried to read the third word, "Zinthos."

Raven's eyes turned black. They jewel on her forehead brightened. All of the sudden, one of the lamps in my room went out. It was enclosed in some kind of black coating. Then it flew across the room and crashed into the wall. I looked at Raven. Her eyes went back to their normal color. She looked back at me. Her eyes were filled with terror.

"What's wrong with me?" She cried.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Did you not see what just happened?" Raven said.

I could see tears welling up in her eyes. She hastily got up and began to run out of my room.

"Raven," I called after her.

I grabbed her arm before she left the room.

"Do you want to know why I thought I could have helped Robin today?" I calmly asked.

She didn't reply.

"Because, I can do things like that too."

Raven looked at me.

"No you can't!" She yelled, "No one can. Only freaks can! I'm a freak!"

She began to pull on my arms to get out of the room. Boundless confidence, I thought while I pulled her back in my room. She could feel me not letting her go. I saw her scrunch her eyebrow as she thought about something.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," she calmly said.

The door to my room swung shut. I let go of Raven so I wouldn't get my fingers caught in the door. Before it closed, I saw her began to run away.

"Raven, no! I'm being serious," I cried.

I pulled the door open. I tried to light up an energy bolt, but I couldn't. I didn't feel the righteous fury that was necessary. Instead, I flew in front of her. She gasped.

"Kori?" She disbelievingly said.

"I am not lying," I said.

I lowered myself to the ground.

"Come on," I said, "I'll explain in my room."

She followed me back into my room and sat on my bed while I began my long explanation.

"Kamie and I are aliens. We were born on a planet called Tamaran before it was attacked. My adoptive parents fled to Earth so we wouldn't be killed."

"Wow," Raven said, "You are like me."

"I can fly, I have amazing strength, and I can shoot energy bolts from my hand. Kamie and I also have alien names. Hers is Komand'r and mine is Koriand'r. They translate to Blackfire and Starfire."

I sat down next to her, tired from my long explanation.

"That's awesome," Raven finally said, "So, can you show me one of these energy bolts?"

"Well, no," I sighed, "I haven't been able to make one yet."

I was disappointed in myself. I mean, come on, even Kamie could make one! Raven laughed.

"We really are two peas in a pod, Starfire," she said.

I kind of liked the way that sounded. Starfire. I said it over and over in my head and smiled.

"So, did you just figure out that you could do that?" I asked.

"Well, yeah," Raven admitted.

"Why don't you try it again?"

"Sure," Raven agreed, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."

All of the sudden, my cell phone came floating over into my hands.

"Cool!" I squealed.

I looked through my cell. Richard, Richard, Home, Richard. That was the order of my calls. I had been trying to do something with him for so long, but he was always busy! Raven saw the frown on my face.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I'm furious with Richard for never calling me back!" I answered.

God, I was furious. Suddenly, I could feel my eyes getting hot. I lifted my fist up and saw it surrounded by a green glow.

"I did it!" I cried.

"Is this one of those Starbolts?" Raven asked.

"Starbolts?"

"Well, I mean, your name is Starfire and those are bolts of energy. Star, bolts, Starbolts."

I liked the way that sounded, too. I pointed my hand to my wall and shot the starbolt. It crashed into the wall, creating a very large dent.

"Oops!" I giggled.

"Um, is that going to happen every time you get angry?" Raven asked.

"Well, with my life as it is now, yes."

"How about we, um, go shopping tomorrow?"

Raven never goes shopping. This was a once in a lifetime chance.

"Yes!" I gleefully replied.

Raven sighed, it was going to be hard for her, but she knew she was being an awesome friend.
