Chapter 3: Family time
Starfire gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. It is not he. Her eyes watered. It can not… HE IS DEAD!
"Greetings sister" The boy's voice quivered and his eyes watered matching the titan's ones. Both of them flew and crushed themselves in a hug. Tears fell from both their eyes but the smiles didn't disappear.
"For X'hal, Ryand'r..." The alien girl squished her brother harder turning the alien's golden skin to an almost marble white.
"I see that your strength hasn't decreased after all this years. I would even say you're far stronger" The young boy laughed. Starfire joined the alien's laughter a bit uncomfortable, there were many questions circling her head. She was about to ask something when the boy put an arm around her shoulder and carried her inside the bubble. "I know you have many questions to ask me, but first let me show you something"
At first she tried to resist but when the door opened the titan gasped for the second time that day. Green, an enormous extension of Tamaranean wildlife was shown just in front of her. Wildfire smiled and let go his sister that was looking everywhere with her mouth agape to grab a little furry blue ball that resembled a cat except for its lack of ears and the big yellow eyes.
Galfor that had seen all the scene approached the two teens leaving Robin that was trying to dismount the zarnic kinda abandoned, but this was the brother's reunion so he couldn't care less about any human. He started flying next to Starfire that was still looking at every plant and insect with curiosity checking if they were real or not.
"A month ago, a ship of the Green something Crops-"
"Green Lantern Crops oh grand emperor" Ryand'r corrected the alien as he flew near the two of them.
"Whatever" He puffed but laughed "They came and surprisingly your brother was with them"
"Not as a green lantern of course" The boy added while landing in his sisters K'Norfka what made her giggle.
"At first I was surprised, I thought Ryand'r was dead so I was kinda skeptical to his appearance"
"Of course, after showing my shinny eyes, awesome strength and resistance to radiation" The boy interrupted again.
"As well as an DNA analysis" Galfor added earning a slight kick in the shoulder.
"My identity as the wonderful prince of Tamaran was proved!" The alien concluded while making different ridiculous poses that turned Starfire's giggles into a full laughter.
"I am able to see that your sense of humor has not changed a bit in all this years brother" Indeed Ryand'r was the same little kid as five years ago. Only that he wasn't a kid anymore. His fiery red hair was still in its short messy style. In spite of being older than the alien boy, Starfire needed to rise her head to look at Ryand'rs eyes, but even in his now bigger and more muscular form the titan knew that she was far stronger than him, in fact, she was far stronger than most of the Tamaraneans. Heritage from her father.
Robin, thanks to a tamaranian custom that he named 'being complete gerks and go flying forgetting their guests' was lost in the middle of a complete estrange and giant jungle without any one to guide him. Well at least he still had his belt (with all the weapons included of course). My belt! He could call Starfire with the communicator. The tiny gadget biped once. Come on Starfire.Twice. For fucks shake pick it!
"Ex-prince awesome here what do ya want?" Wait why was the alien in the communicator? Robin sighed and scratched his head.
"Listen eeemmm… Wildfire"
"My name is Ryand'r human" his tone dropped from cheerful to dead serious in an instant freezing the titan's blood. But Robin was far more enraged for caring about language issues.
"Well it's the same isn't it? However, call Starfire we have to go home"
"Koriand'r is swimming with us in one of the many lakes we've restored and having the family time she truly needs, if the everything that Galfor said referring to Komand'r is true" There was a short pause in which Robin could listen some laughter and a bunch of screams and growls that he interpreted as Tamaranian. "I would be really really happy if you let her have a good time" His voice returned to his cheerful tone.
"But Wild- Ryand'r what if some beast attacks me?" He listened the alien sighing before continuing "I'm your guest here!"
"Sure you are human, a non invited one if you have red our message" The wonder boy's face was turning redder at moments from both anger and embarrassment, it was true that the message only required the alien's presence, but he was her boyfriend! He should go and take care of her "Just be nice, don't hurt anything and they won't kill you. Remember that you are in a wildlife reestablishing centre." Then the call ended and with a loud scream Robin threw the communicator to the floor breaking it with a loud crash.
Ok Robin keep yourself calm and you will be all right. Remember dad's words: stay sharp, ready and cool. Not that I needed help to be cool I always are bu-. His mental speech was interrupted the moment he tripped with some kind of purple root. The wonder boy, now stained with mud and dirt stood up slowly staring at it.
He was in a planet god knows where. Standing a overgrown alien nany with strange… horses or zarc-whatever, a reappeared brother that didn't bothered to introduce himself to him, a girlfriend that left him alone for a family that; he didn't know why; was angered at him. And now that fucking purple plant is in the middle of the way. He took one of his birdarangs slowly, very slowly rising the weapon in the roots direction and cutting it clean in a fast motion letting all his anger flow with the movement. He laughed and started walking again finally feeling something that resembled to happiness since they landed in this damned planet. 'Screee!'
Wait screee? Since when plants scream? He turned around just in time to dodge the giant mouth that tried to swallow him alive.
A ten meters tall plant was in front of him. Its large purple body and roots where encircling him exepting one, the cut one, that laid in the floor as it's colour turned into a dry leaf brown. The boy cursed and dodged one of the roots that moved to impale him. He was fast but didn't saw the little purple wines that encircled his feet and raised him up just in front of the mouth of the alien plant that was segregating some kind of purple liquid. Robin didn't have time to think about how disgusting it was because the plant was opening its mouth ready to eat him, or that was what it would have done if the titan didn't grabbed one of his explosive discs and tossed it into the plant's mouth exploding and killing it as it fell to the ground and turned the same tone of brown as its root.
