Yay, I finally wrote the next chapter!

I was planning on it being longer, but oh well. Enjoy!

Robin's POV

Today has been… weird.

Ok, not that weird. I knew that Terra was going to make her debut today, and this wasn't the first time Raven and Starfire hadn't arrived to help in the fight.

The weird part was how immediately after Terra scrambled to her room, and shut herself in there. If Slade asked her to come out, she would, of course. And it's not like me or Blackfire had tried to reach out to her, but still. For the mission she had been looking forward to for so long, she sure wasn't happy.

I brushed it aside though. She wasn't my problem.

"Robin?"

I turned to see Blackfire standing at my doorway.

"Blackfire!" I blushed, "Nice to see you here!

"But uhh… I'm not sure you're allowed here. Or that we have time to talk right now. Slade probably has something he wants out of me."

"Sure we have time!" She replied, "I just asked him, and he said we were done for the day. Therefore we can hang out."

I nodded, "Well… that's good."

She jumped onto the bed. "So what are you thinking about?"

My room was pretty plain, with rustic orange walls, gray floor, and a bed with a plain white sheet, blanket, and pillow. There was a green chair in the corner, but besides that there was nothing other than the bed mentioned before. Well unless you count the door to the connected bathroom I guess.

"Nothing really," I answered. "What about you?"

"I was thinking about you"

I paused, "I know you're trying to flatter me, but that's actually really creepy out loud."

"Guess you're right," She agreed.

"So, uh…" I hesitated "I hope you don't mind me asking but why do you hate your sister so much?"

I don't know what motivated me to ask, but I did. I cared for both girls so much, and I just needed to understand what was going on.

"I mean I know you talked about your parents liking her more, but shouldn't that have made you despise them, not Star?"

She gave me an odd look, before saying "Well it's not as if they were the only ones. She and Ryand'r were just in general the pride and joy of our planet. Meanwhile I was either hated or pitied. Even my friends were only there because I was the crown princess."

"Well they were stupid."

"What?"

"Your people," I explained "They were fools not to treasure you."

She smiled, "You don't have to be so sweet!"

I felt my cheeks turn red, and almost turned away in my desperation to hide it. Instead, I just asked "If Starfire's real name is Koriand'r than what's yours?"

She looked away, before saying "Why do you want to know that?"

"I was just curious," I answered, "But you totally don't have to tell me if you don't want-"

"It's Komand'r" Blackfire interrupted.

"What?"

"My name," She said, "it's Komand'r. Kom for short. I was named after the color of my hair or more I suspect so. I prefer it in your language though."

"Komand'r…" I repeated, "That's a beautiful name."

"Thank you," Another smile formed across her lips.

She started scooting closer, and I felt my entire face go hot again.

"As long as you're asking me all these questions, would you mind if I asked you a couple?" She inquired, but before I could answer added "Who did take you in after your parent's death?"

My blood went cold, and I think I froze up. I turned to tell her that I didn't feel comfortable answering, before feeling a twinge of guilt. I'd already unearthed so many of her secrets, she might as well know a few of mine.

I took a deep breath, thinking of how best to tell Blackfire while not spilling too much to Slade. "A man adopted me. A good man. He was a vigilante who went by Batman, and I became his partner. We were Batman and Robin, the dynamic duo.

"But one thing led to another and we had a falling out which led to me leaving and meeting the Titans."

She nodded, "Well I hope someday the two of you make peace with each other. Or if you have a more antagonistic view of him and want him dead, I hope you get your revenge. Whichever would make you happier."

I stifled a laugh, feeling guilty about it's existence "Well that's very nice of you."

Blackfire grasped my hand and started gazing into my eyes. I felt a bead of sweat run down my neck, however before the Training room could repeat itself she rested her head on my shoulder.

"People like us," Blackfire whispered, "we just have to stick together."

"...yeah…" I muttered in response, uncertainly.

After that it was just quiet. Not a bad silence, just a nice peaceful quiet of just the two of us together.

And if I felt the happiest I'd felt in a long time right then, well is that so wrong?
