"We are lost."

"We're not lost," Robin insisted, "we're just, taking the long way. That's all."

"Why can you not simply admit that we are lost, Dick?"

"It's one of the flaws of Earth Men, Kori."

"Do you not have some sort of locator?"

"Well if I did, we wouldn't be having this conversation, now would we Princess."

"You do not have to be curt, and do not call me Princess infidel!"

"Alright, alright I give!"

Kori sighed, "I do not understand why you must have such an attitude with me, especially considering my position."

"Well for starters, you did attack me without a moment's hesitation and almost shot me with some weird power ball—

"Starbolts."

"Yah, whatever. All the same, you didn't even give me a chance."

"Well, can you blame me? Think of the position I am in right now. I am not very trusting."

"All the same, jumping to conclusions is going to get you in trouble. And back on subject. Referring to your 'considering my position,' line, if you keep flaunting about you royal standpoint, why should I respect you? If you were a true leader, you wouldn't use your title as a way to get what you want," Robin argued as the two began walking through hot steam.

"Oh and I suppose you know how to act like a leader?"

"As a matter of fact I do. Because I'm a leader myself. And I earned my team's respect, I didn't tell them, 'hey, I'm the boss so sit down and shut up.'

Kori scowled at him through an opening of mist, "Must you truly be so harsh to me? I apologize for my misjudgment when I first met you, but you must think for a moment. I grew up my whole life with people looking up to me, telling me that I must take charge, as well as people doing as I ask. I have been a leader by default. Surely you do not know what that is like. I have no choice but to be the Empress. Do you truly think I want this title? I myself do not find that I am fit for Tamaran, but I must rule it all the same. Perhaps I am a bit spoiled, but can you expect anything less from a princess?" Kori then gave an indignant huff as she continued walking through the haze.

Robin ran his hand through his hair, messing it up from its usual spiky appearance, and ran the hand down his face as he sighed, "I should've let the Sludge Monster eat me when I had the chance."

"What?" Kori yelled, not catching what he had said. The vapor thinned and the two discovered they were separated from each other by a huge gorge. A moment past before they began to here a slight rumble that continued to get louder with each second when suddenly the entire cliff side crumbled and the two fell. Robin quickly got his grappling hook, and swung himself to a sturdy ledge as he searched for Kori. He spotted her falling and remembered that Tamaranians could fly.

'Why isn't she flying?' he thought frantically, "Kori! Fly!"

Kori yelled back in a panic, "I cannot!"

"What!" As he watched her helplessly fall he quickly dived off the ledge after her. He reached her and they clung to one another and Robin saw another ledge that looked like it might hold. He shot his grappling hook and it swung around the rock, but it wasn't as sturdy as it looked and gave away. The two continued to fall closer and closer to the ground and Robin quickly swung himself so that he would break the fall. When he hit he tried to absorb the hit as best he could and they rolled a few times before coming to a stop, with the Boy Wonder on top, and the Grand Ruler on bottom.

They stared at each other for a moment before Kori collected herself and pushed him off, "Get off of me, Richard!"

Robin sat back on his palms and bent knees and glared, "You're welcome."

"For what? Plummeting down into this hole with me? I see no reason to express gratitude for that."

Robin stood mumbling incoherent things under his breath as he collected some branches and tossed them in a pile, "Think you could give us some fire, Princess?"

She frowned but complied. She walked over to a small dead tree and pulled it from its roots and set it down and sat.

Robin stared at her for a moment before he joined her, "Kori, what happened back there? I thought Tamaranians could fly."

"They can. They absorb sunlight as energy to fly, so that they can also fly at night with the stored energy. But the power of flight is powered by emotion. Boundless joy," Kori looked down sadly, "and I feel no happiness right now."

"Kori, we're stuck in a hole. You need to fly! Just, try and think of happy things."

"Like what?"

Robin was about to respond when there was an earsplitting sound. The two covered their ears, and there was a large rumble and crash. When the sound faded the two looked up and saw what looked like some sort of giant, bulky four-legged worm. Robin whipped out his bo-staff and a couple explosion disks. He threw them to distract the monster as he attacked. Kori jumped in, unleashing many Starbolts.

"Dick! We must stop it before it screams again!"

"Don't worry, I think I have that under control!" Robin shouted as he threw a ball into the creature's mouth. It exploded and covered the creature's mouth a sticky substance, so the only damage it could do now, was simply fight…, which it did. It charged the two and head-butted them through the hole it had made, landing the heroes on a long ledge. The two got up and saw their predicament. Robin turned to Kori, "Kori! You have to fly!"

"Dick, I cannot, I am not joyful!"

"Just…just think of how great it will be when this is all over! Your people will be safe! Your brother and sister will be okay! But that can only happen if you're around! You're a great leader! Kori I know you can do it! I trust you!" Kori looked over and saw that the Monster was charging again, and was getting closer by the second. Robin saw that she looked a bit unsure, and he laced his fingers with hers, "Kori, as long as we're together it'll be okay. You won't be alone, I'll be with you no matter what happens."

Kori looked at him and nodded and the two jumped just as the monster reached them. The three when hurtling down the abyss. As the creature fell before them, Kori and Robin stared at each other and Kori's eyes ignited in green light. The two jerked upward and landed safely on sturdy ground.

"See Kori! I told you—

Robin was cut off by a bone-crushing hug, "Thank you Richard. I could not have done that without you." Robin smiled in spite of his lack of oxygen and hugged her back softly. Kori looked ahead and squealed, "Dick! It is your ship!"

She let go of him and he gasped for air before he turned around and saw she was right. He turned to her and smiled, "See! I told you I wasn't lost."

Kori rolled her eyes and they walked over to it. Robin examined the small opening that had been damaged and looked for the repair kit. Nothing seemed that it would have been much use, and he had no scrap metal to repair it with, but with his general knowledge of spacecrafts, he figured it wouldn't be too big of a problem. He gave the okay and they climbed into the small pod and he turned the ship on. He looked down at his fuel readings and frowned, "Dick? Is there something wrong?"

"Uh, we're low on fuel."

Kori's face-hardened, "How low?"

"Well, we wouldn't make it to Tamaran, that's for damn certain."

Kori growled before she spoke, "Well I do know of a planet that is half the distance to Tamaran. Do we have enough for that?"

Robin stared and the fuel tank for a moment before nodding, "Yah pretty sure."

Kori sighed, "Very well. The Planet is a multicultural trade planet. There are many in this system. It will most likely have fuel suitable for your ship."

"Ok, tell me which way to go," Robin said as they lifted off.

They traveled for a little while, mostly in silence except for when she gave him directions. They weren't very happy with each other, like they had been before they left, but hey you wouldn't be too happy if you were sitting extremely close with almost no breathing room. They finally arrived at the planet and as they were flying through the atmosphere, an alarm and red flashing began to go off. Apparently, the gash in the ship Robin thought wasn't a problem, was becoming one. As they were going through the atmosphere, the metal began to peel away, and a fire set in it, and now it was causing a malfunction and Robin lost almost all control of the craft. He hit the parachute button to lessen the fall, and tried to steer it for a better land as best as he could. When impact was made, the side of Robin's head smacked against the window, and Kori's forehead made contact with the front window. It didn't knock them out, but it gave them a good headache and some lovely cuts. Robin quickly opened the pod and the two got out. Robin examined his ship and shook his head. A moment later he felt a zap in the beginning of his left ear and soon after a burning. He yelped and quickly grabbed what was causing the pain. What he found was the translator Galfor had given him…in two separate pieces.

"Uh oh," he said.

"Cartay?"

"Huh?" Robin turned to Kori.

"Cartay mi?"

"Um, I can't understand you," Robin said and showed her the broken translator. He saw that her face gained a pinkish tint on top of her orange and she moaned.

"Sar, X'hal! Sar!"

"Uh?"

Kori exhaled sharply before she began to walk toward him, mumbling angrily, "Zar paradu! Kelan, meforis! Shilonay markius!" she reached him and grasped him firmly on the shoulders.

Robin shuddered and breathed, "What are you…?"

Soft lips stopped him. His eyes widened as she forcefully kissed him. He didn't respond but didn't pull away. She grunted at his inactivity and forced open his mouth, kissing him deeper. Robin's body went numb and she pulled away, "Uh, most effective. Why must that be most effective," Kori's voice rang through his ears, with a slight accent that reminded him of a Puerto Rican accent.

Robin shook his head vigorously, "The Hell…?"

Kori sighed, "Tamaranians are capable of acquiring language by touch."

"Then why didn't ya just touch me!"

"Because! It is not as effective! The only time we just touch someone is when the alien does not even have a mouth!"

"But was it really necessary to kiss me?"

"…What is a kiss?"

"…Are ya kidding? It's what you just gave me!"

"Well to Tamaranians it is just known as mouth to mouth. Is that what a kiss is on earth?"

"Well…well yes but it's a way of affection."

"Well it was most certainly not that!"

Robin disregarded the comment, "Tamaranians…don't kiss?"

"No."

"Then how do you show affection? Like husband and wife?"

"Mating."

Robin's face flushed, "Ah, I see," he looked over to his ship and walked around it. He went over and inspected the larger problem. Being to close to find out what had gone wrong and how much repairs were needed he got in the way of a sudden spark which caught to his mask. Quickly he ripped it off and smacked it on his pant leg to put it out.

"Dick! Are you alright?" Kori rushed over to see what had happened.

"Yah I'm fine, can't say the same for my mask though," Robin sighed and turned around.

Kori's breath caught in her throat. With his mask she would not deny that he had attractive features. But without the mask, not too mention how beat up he looked, he was ruggedly handsome. Kori had always been around green-eyed people, aside from her sister, and she was blown away by his dizzying blue eyes. They were dark, but clear at the same time, "Dick."

Robin looked at her, "Yes?"

His eyes penetrated into hers, and she suddenly lost her words. She stuttered, "You, you have eyes."

Robin raised an eyebrow, "you thought the mask was what? Attached?"

Kori blushed, "No that is not what I meant to say. What I meant to say was…" her eyes locked with his, "you have beautiful eyes."

Robin was taken aback by the comment. He never heard that before. It was at this moment he noticed they were very close. He swallowed and responded breathlessly, "thank you."

A small explosion caused the two to jump apart and set their attention back to the ship.

Robin looked back at her, "Uh, how are we going to get this thing to the town?"

Kori did not seem worried, and she made her way to the ship, "The town is not far from here. We shall be there in no time," Kori lifted up the ship with little strain and began walking in what apparently was the way to the town.

Robin's eyes widened in disbelief and he followed, "Man, are all you Tamaranians this strong?"

"Hm? How do you mean?"

"Well, its just Humans aren't as strong as that to lift up a small spacecraft."

"You are not? Goodness Dick, what can you Humans do?"

Robin scowled, "You know, maybe we just shouldn't talk."

"Well you were the one who initiated conversation Dick."

Robin groaned and he muttered, "Bruce Wayne you owe me big time."
