Aw, this is the second to last chapter. I hope you like it!

I do not own the Teen Titans


I had to walk to Richard's house since my parents took both of our cars. That gave me even more time to think about what he wanted to talk about. Did he want to break up with me? Well, he had been avoiding me. What did that mean? Maybe he had another job or something. Yeah, I bet he works…somewhere.

When I finally arrived at Richard's house (more like mansion), I had convinced myself that he was going to break up with me. I plucked up some courage and rang the doorbell. After about a minute, it opened.

"Yes?" It was his butler. I think his name was Fred.

"My name is Kori Anders. I am here to see Richard," I said.

"Come inside," Fred said, "He's in the library."

I followed the butler up the stairs, down the hall, and to the library. Fred opened the door.

"Master Richard," he said, "Miss Anders is here."

"Thank you, Alfred," Richard said. Oops, I guess his name wasn't Fred.

The library was huge. There were rows of books lining the walls. In the center of the rooms was a large table with about fourteen chairs around it. Richard was sitting on a couch on the far side of the room. I began nervously walking over to him. Alfred closed the door behind me. I sat down on the opposite side of Richard. I noticed he was holding something in his fist, but I couldn't tell what it was.

When it seemed that neither of us would talk first, I decided to break the silence.

"What did you want to talk about?" I offered.

"Um, us," Richard said, "Do you think that we are dating?"

I looked at him for a second, wondering how I should answer this question. I wondered what he thought of us. I finally decided to just be truthful.

"Yes," I said.

"Well, I do, too," he said.

My heart did a somersault. Then I thought for a second. Maybe he wanted to see if I thought we were dating because he wanted to break up with me!

"Do you want to break up?" I asked.

"What?" he looked shocked, "No, well, do you?"

"No."

"Good."

"So, is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"Well, if this is going to work between us, we need to be more honest."

Oh, um, that. I wondered if he knew about my little secret, about how I'm an alien. Would he care if I told him? I'm still the same person. But then again, I was freaked out when I found out, so I guess he would be, too.

"Kori," he said.

"Yes?"

"I have something I need to tell you," he took a deep breath, "I've never told anyone this before. I'm Robin."

"What?" I was stunned.

"I'm Robin, as in, Batman and Robin. I'm the one you kissed," he said.

"Really?" I asked.

In answer to my question, he opened his fist and showed me what he had been holding. It was his mask. He put it on to show me.

"Wow," was all I could say.

"I probably should have told you when I visited you in the hospital."

"No, it is fine. I have a secret, too."

He had just told me his deepest secret, and I was about to tell him mine.

"I have never met my real parents," I said. Well, that was true.

"I haven't either," he said. He looked a little taken back, since he thought that was my big secret.

"I have never met my parents because they died in a war," I added.

"Well..." Richard started to say.

"They died in that war because they were the kind and queen of Tamaran," I continued.

"Tamaran, that's a planet!" Richard exclaimed.

"You know about Tamaran?" I was once again in shock.

"You're from Tamaran?" he answered my question with another question.

"Yes, I am. My adoptive parents fled to Earth during the war. I just discovered that the other day. My real name is Koriand'r, or Starfire. I can fly. That is what saved us when we were falling from the building."

Richard just looked at me. I could not tell what he thought since his mask made his face look emotionless. I immediately knew he was going to hate me. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I got off the couch and hurried to the door, but then I felt him grab my arm.

"Kori, why are you leaving?"

I turned to find him face to face with me.

"I knew this would change everything. I'm sorry, Richard."

"Why?" he asked, looking confused.

"This, it cannot work between us," I turned back toward the door.

"Yes it can," he pulled my back until our faces were only centimeters apart.

"But, I…I am an alien," I said.

"That doesn't change the way I feel about you."

He closed the space between us and kissed me. I kissed him back, increasing the passion between us. I really liked him, and I'm positive he really liked me, too.

We kissed for what seemed like an eternity, a blissful eternity. But suddenly there was a loud crash. Richard and I broke apart to see a large hole in his wall. Floating in the middle of the hole was my sister. She was wearing an outfit similar to mine, except black (I guess we do agree on some things, like clothes). She even had on her Tamaranean garments. Her arms and legs were bandaged. I figured it was from when she injured herself with her own energy bolts. No wonder she'd been wearing long sleeves lately.

"Ka…" Richard started to say.

"Blackfire," I cut him off.

I flew up as high as she was, but I kept my distance.

"Sister, I knew you would be here," she said, "and with…Robin, I wasn't expecting that. Where's…"

I could tell by her face that she was putting two and two together.

"Oh, I get it now," she said, "Richard is Robin. I knew there was something familiar about you when I fought you at the bank."

"That was you?" Richard and I both said.

"I needed to get money somehow," she answered like we were both crazy, "And I almost got to kill you while I was there, but I guess I'm going to have to do it now."


That darn Blackfire! Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the honesty chapter! Only one more chapter though...

Sniff, Starfirre
