For without a doubt this conversation was proving to be the most important in Blackfire's life. Without a doubt if not for this conversation the Tamaran would have gone down a dark path as her life slowly filled with anger and hatred.

This conversation allowed both sisters to bear their hearts and come to an understanding. The heart-warming scene was soon interrupted by an attack of more of those tentacle boots.

The sisters screams had reached Naruto's ears alerting him to the danger. Having already fought the machines before he was able to make quick work of them using wind nature chakra to slice them apart. With this latest attack it was deemed dangerous to be out in the open, so everyone returned to the tower.

In the technology breakdown room, Naruto, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire had gathered, going over the latest incident that happened.

"Not only have these things attacked once, but twice now, targeting Starfire and now Blackfire. The question is how are these things able to track them?" Robin questioned.

"Well one possibility is that it can track by DNA or maybe energy signatures? Would that be possible?" Naruto directed the second question to Starfire.

"I do not recognize those machines. They look nothing like Gordanian technology who would be the only ones to have any of our DNA signatures."

"Well one thing for sure, these things are drones," Cyborg pointed out as he held up some chips from the machines. "From what I can analyze they lack the sufficient tech or an AI to be autonomous so we're looking at someone having to have commanded them."

"For the time being I think we can all agree that until we can find out who is behind this then Starfire nor Blackfire should leave the tower." Robin said as everyone nodded.

"Actually, I might have an idea on who might be after us." Blackfire interjected as she had been escorted down by Raven and Beast Boy. "I didn't get the best look at them, but they might be Centauri drones and they may be after me because of these." From her bag she pulled out several green crystals.

"Centauri crystals, sister you didn't…" Starfire replied with a hint of disapproval.

"It was the only way I could escape." Blackfire stated as she began to float much to her sister's surprise.

"Sister…you can…"

"…fly?" she finished, "Yeah, well not under my own power, only because of my armor." She began to address the group. "I'm sure you all by now heard from Starfire the experiments that she went under that gave her the ability to utilize her bolts." She couldn't help but let out a pained, resigned breath. "I am more or less a genetic abnormality among Tamareneans. I lack the vibrant redness associated with our grind and my body constitution isn't as strong. So even despite undergoing the same experimentation I need the use of tech to be able to fly and that means I need sources of power to fuel them."

"Well I'm sure we can reason with them as long as we return the crystals." Naruto suggested.

"I can work on trying track their frequency and see if they're willing to come to a peaceful discussion." Cyborg suggested.

For so long she had felt isolated. She had felt like an outsider. Never being able to find a place where she belonged or felt wanted. Thank you all, this really means a lot" Blackfire said as Naruto smiled at her. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You're our friend Blackfire. If we can't count on those close to us, then who can we?"

When the signal of a ship was detected, everyone had gathered outside.

A large, dark vessel with silver metal patterns, and flashing orange and red lights landed near the island. As everyone prepared for the possibility of a fight Naruto placed a comforting on Blackfire's shoulder to assure her.

The trailing visitor speaks in a "We are Centauri police, we are from the Grand Centauri Empire." His voice came out with that of a s synthetic voice that has an undertone of organic mixed with it, he seems to hold a badge to the group that bares a unique symbol. "We've come here for the Tamaranean girl, she's committed high crimes throughout the entire Centauri system."

"Officer I would like to offer up a bargain in regards to freedom of my friend. I assure what I have to offer is worth more than some Centauri crystals." Biting his thumb and running his blood along the seal out popped out a simple white box with crystalline patterns along the sides and tops. "I have heard rumors from some former coworkers that the Daemonites were encroaching upon Centauri territority.

This environmental destablizer is keyed into the Daemonite signature. It won't last more than a day ,but I'm sure with enough resources and research your people should be able to reproduce something similar to it."

The team looked at Naruto with mixed expressions, but mostly shock. Robin though was suspicious on how and why had something like that on him.

"For now we will accept the offer, but bear in mind we will be back if its determined by our ruler that what you're offering was a hoax."

The officers collected the box before leaving for their ship. Moments later, the ship took off, and returned to the dark night of the heavens.

"I know you're going to wonder so I'll just come out and say it. I'm the former Justice League member that has essentially gone into retirement. Sage." If he was anything like Bruce he was sure he had install the dark knight's intrusive and inquisitive nature meaning he was going to attempt to investigate anything he saw as criminal or a threat.

"Sage. You're Sage!?" Robin had exclaimed in surprise. Besides Batman himself, Sage was probably one of the most mysterious members of the league. Not much went into any elaboration of why Sage suddenly disappeared from the active roster besides of personal matters.

If he hadn't been so distracted, he might have seen Raven's uncomfortable shuffling.

"The league has always been more reactive and that's never been something I agreed to my more active approaches. I was looking into forming alliances and making talk with other races and empires before I parted way with the leagues. When I heard the word Centauri it reminded me of that old project I was working on." Thankfully it seemed to be enough to where Robin wasn't going to question things anymore.

The following morning arrived and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The sun was rising to a beautiful morning.

Starfire, Blackfire, and Naruto are stood on the roof of the tower. "Sister are you sure you want to do this? Is leaving the only way you can find yourself?" She couldn't help but find herself sad. Why did her sister have to leave? Now that they were free from the Citadel and no one was after them they could enjoy a new life on Earth. Hell, she was even invited to join the team by Robin who figured another strong fighter on the team couldn't' hurt.

"As much as I want to stay here, I feel I need to find out who I am. All my life it was filled by ideas of revenge, jealousy, and hatred. I never cared for others and all I ever done has been to hurt others. Once I found out who I am I will be back." For the first time Blackfire could look at her sister without any jealousy or hatefulness in her eyes.

The dark Tamaranean looked over at Naruto, who nodded and smiled at her. She could see that despite the fact he would enjoy her staying here as well she could take note of his acceptance and understanding.

Starfire hugged her sister and cried. The poor red head only just got her sister back, she didn't want to lose her again.

"Don't cry Koriand'r… I will come back. I promise you when I come back, we will finally be able to come together as true sisters, not just in name only."

Starfire pulled away from her hug and looked at her sister. While there was still the looking of confidence and determination that it always held there was now a hint of gentleness and no longer held the need to dominate. There was hope there, hope that wasn't there before.

Blackfire smiled at her younger sister, before turning her attention to the blond, who raised a brow in response. "You've given me so much. I don't like owing others so expect me to pay you back when I get back, got it."

"It's not really necessary, I did what I did because it was the right thing to do." He assured her.

"Still," she lingered on it as she closed the distance between them. "You two take care of each other, ok? I look forward to showing you two the new me when I get back." She declares as she takes off. "Don't take too long to make your move sister. Don't want some other girl to take your spot as head wife." She waves at them as she bolts across the sea and into the horizon.

With a raised eyebrow Naruto turned to the slightly flustered Tamaranean. "Polygamist race I'm suspecting? I can't say I was ever involved of myself, but I do know of the practice." After all it was common practices among smaller blood line clans back in his original life and was far more common in the old clan days to help strengthen Kekki Genkai and grow numbers.

"Since I am still learning many Earth customs and have learned so far that humans are a bit more…prudish, in comparison to my own people I did not wish to press into matters that could be embarrassing or invasive."

Naruto couldn't help but gently smile. He would have been lying to say he wasn't attracted to Starfire and he did enjoy her company. Still, it was far from saying they knew each other enough to say they were romantically compatible. Well, there was only one way to find out and worst case scenario there was nothing wrong with staying friends if things didn't play out in that direction. "Hey Starfire, want to join me for a day out?"
