What up hommies! Thanks again to all the people who reviewed for the last chapter. Yeah, I know, the fight scene was a little dry and kind of rushed. Sorry 'bout that, my friend called me so I had to hurry up and finish up the chapter. Don't worry though, I promise the future fighting scenes won't be so dry and rushed. Well, enough with the pointless talking, here it is! The eighth chapter!

Chapter 8: Discovering a Power and Meeting a Father

Mar'i laughed as if she just heard a crazy joke. "That, (laugh) was funny. (Laugh) I thought (laugh) you just said (laugh) that that was your dad."

Kariand'r gave her a weird look. "I did."

Mar'i stopped laughing and then gave her a serious look for a while. She then laughed again. "(Laugh) No, you said your dad was Nightwing. That was not Nightwing. That was my dad."

"That was your dad!" Kariand'r asked pointing at the door. "No way." She said giving her a confused look.

"Yeah way." Mar'i told her.

"Nuh uh. I know what my dad looks like. My grandpa showed me a ton of pictures of him and my mother back on their wedding day." Kariand'r told her.

"Prove it then." Mar'i said; her arms folded in front of her.

"All right." Kariand'r said taking out a small picture of a beautiful twenty-one-year-old Starfire dressed in a long white wedding dress and a handsome twenty-two-year-old Robin with a black and white tuxedo with a white corsage on the side.

Mar'i looked at the picture in shock and grabbed a hold of it examining it carefully. "That's my dad."

"Yeah. And that's my mother." Kariand'r said pointing at the picture of Starfire. Mar'i still stared blankly at the picture with her mouth open in shock.

"I don't believe this." She whispered to herself.

"Wait a minute, if that's your dad and he's married to my mother, then that means—"

"You're my sister." Mar'i said; her eyes still fixed on the picture.

Kariand'r squealed in delight embracing Mar'i in a bone-crushing hug. "OHMYGOD! IWASEXPECTINGTOFINDMYFATHERBUTMEFINDINGMYFATHERANDA—when were you born?"

"November 14, 2009." Mar'i said sucking in a deep breath when Kariand'r loosened her grip.

Kariand'r squealed again and squeezed her tighter. "A TWIN SISTER!"

"Chocking! Not breathing!" Mar'i cried.

"Oh, sorry." Kariand'r apologized letting go of Mar'i. Mar'i sucked in a deep breath again, her breathing accelerating. "Hey, if you're my sister, does that mean you have Tamaranean powers too?"

"What?" She asked in confusion.

"Tamaranean powers. You know like shooting Starbolts or flying." She demonstrated flying up in the air.

"Whoa!" Mar'i cried falling flat on her butt in shock. "H-how did you do that?"

"What, fly? Everyone on Tamaran can fly." Kariand'r told her. "Oh, right. You're not from Tamaran, but you are the daughter of Koriand'r so you have to have a little bit of Tamaranean power in you. Try flying."

"Are you nuts? I can't fly! I'm not like you." Mar'i told her.

"Of coarse you are. You have our mothers' Tamaranean blood which means you can fly too." Kariand'r explained. "Just think happy thoughts."

"Now way. Even if I'm related to you, I'm not weird like you are. I'm normal, so if you don't mind, I would like you to leave please." Mar'i said opening up her window.

Kariand'r glared at her but then gave Mar'i an evil smirk.

"Um—why are you looking at me like that?" Mar'i asked.

"Oh, no reason." Kariand'r said walking towards the window. She got a hold of Mar'i and flew high in the air. Mar'i screamed her head off and looked down at the ground, Wayne's Manor getting smaller and smaller.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! PUT ME DOWN!" She ordered.

"Okay." Kariand'r said letting Mar'i go.

Mar'i fell through the air screaming her head off as she was coming closer and closer to the ground.

Kariand'r caught up with her. "You gotta think of happy thoughts Mar'i. It's the only way you won't hit the ground and get smashed like a potato."

"I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE ANY POWERS LIKE YOU DO!" Mar'i screamed, her eyes glowing a bright green.

"Aha! I told you!" She said pointing at Mar'i. "Your eyes just glowed a bright green. Now hurry up and think of happy thoughts before you get killed!"

Mar'i looked down and saw her body coming closer and closer to the ground until she finally decided to hurry up and think of happy thoughts before her and the ground collided.

"Ha! You did it!" Kariand'r squealed.

Mar'i opened up her eyes and saw her floating two inches off the ground. "What in the—" She then fell flat on her butt.

"See! I told you you had Tamaranean blood!" She said happily embracing her in another hug.

"Let go of me!" Mar'i yelled getting up from the ground and rubbing her butt sorely.

"Sheesh, someone's a little grumpy."

Mar'i turned and glared at Kariand'r.

Stevie snored soundly in his sleep tossing and turning, tangling himself with his blanket.

Just then, a dark vortex opened up in Stevie's room, Shadow stepping out.

Stevie yawned tiredly rubbing his eyes looking up from his bed. He gasped. "Shadow!"

"Loki!" Shadow exclaimed seeing his younger brother.

Stevie quickly got out of his bed and ran towards his brother wrapping his arms around him in a tight hug. "It's you! What the heck are you doing here!"

"Ever since you left I kept on sensing your power." Shadow told him. "I tried tracking down your power to see if you ever found dad, but mom would always say you were gone for good."

"Why would mom say that?" Stevie asked. Shadow shrugged his shoulders.

"Stevie! You all right?" Beast Boy asked nervously running into Stevie's room. He gasped in shock when he saw his oldest son standing in Stevie's room.

"Dad?" Shadow asked looking at the tall, semi-muscular man with short green spiky hair, matching eyes, and skin.

"Shadow?" Beast Boy said in shock.

Phew. Finally done with that chapter. Hope you guys are ready for the next chapter. I'll post it A. S. A. P. Peace out y'all!
