Superhero
Occupation/class:
Adventurer, warrior, fashion model; former Teen Titan, former Princess of Tamaran
Physical Appearance:
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 158 lbs (72 kg)
Eyes: Green
Hair: Auburn
Skin: Orange, almost like an intense suntan
The tamaranean beauty stands roughly 6' 4" extremely tall for a human female, but Kory is not like most earth women. Her body is well filled with muscles and curves. Kory can be seen usually showing them off. Whether in her Starfire attire which can leave not to much to the imagination, but that is pretty much the point. Kory is very open personality and represents that in how she dresses. If she had it her way she would probably be naked more often, but considering the earth ways she has tamed that down, but it doesn't stop her from stretching the boundaries. Her Starfire outfit is much like a purple bathing suit and hides just the right places. Very tamaranean in style and Kory wouldn't change that. When she isn't flying around as the tamaranean princess. Kory is rather casual, but she has a feminine touch, although again tends to still show of her amazing body. Short shorts and a simple t'shirt is comfortable for her, but she was also a model so she can get a little more creative. Short well put together dresses. Frilly tops and tight jeans. etc.
Her hair is much like fire and is part reason she was given the name Starfire by her team mates. When she flies it leaves a trail behind. Her hair is very thick and healthy. It has been seen curly, wavy and straight, but the full body is always the same. It can also depend on her mood and whether she styled it. Usually whether she styled it her mood can still effect the outcome. Her eyes are straight green. A very bright green. No white or pupils. Although there is a hint of a shape of her pupil, but it is very faint. Her skin is a deep rich almost golden colour orange. Depending on the light its just very well made tan.
Personality:
Starfire has an outgoing and vivacious personality that epitomizes the joy-seeking aspects of Tamaranean culture. She wears her emotions on her sleeve, loves to have fun, and often expresses herself in flamboyant ways. Tamaraneans tend to wear very little clothing compared to humans, both as a reflection of their uninhibited culture and in order to absorb more solar energy through their skin and convert that energy into the power of flight. Starfire is no exception to this, and she finds the human mode of dress to be unnecessarily prudish and restrictive. She prefers wearing outfits that cover as little of her curvaceous figure as is possible to get away with, and enjoys the obvious attention that this creates. She is openly flirtatious with men, even taken ones, and is seemingly oblivious to the jealousy she generates in other women. Starfire can instantly assimilate other languages simply through physical contact with the other person, and if that other person is male, she will usually kiss them (often without any warning) since it is more fun for her that way.
However, Starfire is also a born warrior, and her sweet and frivolous personality evaporates whenever a combat situation arises. She is a fierce and no-nonsense fighter and extremely aggressive in battle. When fully provoked she can fly into a berserker rage, increasing her already impressive strength level, and when in this state her teammates have sometimes had to physically restrain her out of fear that she might kill her opponents.
One things for sure she is open to her feelings and opinions. So even with strangers she can come across very friendly and wishes to make friends first. She is Utterly bombastic and unapologetic. Is completely gentle with her friends and barbaric with her foes. She has many friends and even close friends. The Titans she considers to be her family, her home from home. One of her best friends is Donna Troy. Though her greatest friend and bond in the universe is Dick Grayson. It was that famous first kiss that sealed their fate.
Powers/Strengths:
Tamaranean Solar Absorption
Starfire's alien physiology constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and converts it to energy. She can also absorb the ultraviolet radiation from other life forms. She once used this application of her power to weaken a group of Kryptonians who otherwise require ultraviolet radiation to maintain their superhuman abilities. This power also enables Starfire to perform the following feats:
- Superhuman Strength:
How exactly strong is unknown, is said be having the strength of eight men. She has also won 2 out of 3 times against Donna Troy who is stronger during hand to hand training matches.
- Flight:
Which leaves a distinct energy contrail behind, as if it is coming from her hair
- Starbolts:
From the solar absorption experiments performed on her by the Psoins granted Starfire with the power and ability to channel and project the same energy into destructive blasts called 'Starbolts'. Starfire also has the power and ability to unleash all her stored energy into a pseudo nova blast. It is suggested to be as hot as the sun itself and so only uses this in dire situations.
- Invulnerability:
Starfire is impervious to most kinds of damage.
- Lingustic Assimilation:
She is capable to assimilate other languages through physical contact with another person.
Skills
Expert Combatant: Starfire is extremely proficiant in armed and unarmed combat, having been trained by the war lords of Okaara.
Weaknesses
- Dick Grayson
- Loneliness
- Anger
- Not invulnerable to everything
- Immune system isn't the same as humans, so her body can react differently, some times better and some times worse.
Background:
- ORIGINS
Koriand'r was the second of three children born to King Myand'r and Queen Luand'r of the planet Tamaran, whose inhabitants have the ability to absorb solar energy through their skin and convert it into the power of flight. Her elder sister Komand'r (later known as Blackfire) was the victim of a rare childhood disease that rendered her unable to fly. Komand'r developed a bitter and unpleasant personality as a result, and due to her disability and unpopularity, she was deemed unworthy of ascension to the throne. Komand'r's princess status was transferred to her more attractive younger sister Koriand'r, who had no abnormalities and was well-liked by her people. Koriand'r received all of the privileges, honors, and dignity of royalty and grew to be the first princess of Tamaran in a hundred years, while Komand'r was largely shunned and forgotten. This set the stage for a sibling rivalry of epic proportions as Komand'r continually sought revenge against Koriand'r, precipitating a series of events that ultimately brought the Tamaranean princess to Earth.
- ROMANCE
Starfire is attractive even by superhero standards, which along with her no-nonsense attitude and Tamaranean's joy-seeking culture has led her into a number of romances. She has been married twice, both times to Tamaranean men: once to the prince Karras to seal a peace treaty, and once to General Phy'zzon out of duty. Both men later died in battle. Afterward she nearly married her true love Dick Grayson, despite anti-alien sentiment on Earth at the time. But their wedding was interrupted by their Titans teammate Raven, who had given in to her demonic nature and once again gone evil. Raven murdered the priest before he could finish the ceremony. The failed wedding underscored problems in their relationship that they were previously in denial of, so Kory and Dick mutually made the decision to end it and only be friends. However, it is apparent that they still carry a torch for each other whenever they see one another.
- KOMAND'R'S REVENGE
When both sisters were of age, they were sent for combat training with the Warlords of Okaara, and it was here that Komand'r, now insanely jealous and hateful of her sister, tried to take revenge on Koriand'r by killing her. The attempt failed and Komand'r was expelled by the Warlords. Komand'r then turned on her own people, joining the enemies of Tamaran known as the Citadel, and quickly rose through their ranks. After she had gained considerable power and influence with the Citadel, she betrayed her home world to them. The Citadel used the information the treacherous Komand'r gave them to successfully invade Tamaran. Defeated, King Myand'r had no choice but to turn his favorite daughter, Koriand'r, over to them in return for peace. Part of the arrangement was that Koriand'r could never return to her home planet or the Citadel would destroy it. The captive princess endured six years of servitude and horrific torture at the hands of her own vengeful sister, who had now become a high ranking warrior of the Citadel. At one point, Koriand'r was raped by members of the Citadel that were under the command of Komand'r. In retaliation, Koriand'r fought back and killed the rapists, but was then subdued and sentenced to death.
- CAPTURED BY THE PSIONS
Komand'r ordered her own sister's execution but before it could be carried out, the Citadel was attacked and both sisters were captured by the Psions , an advanced race of sadistic scientists. The sisters became the helpless subjects of cruel experiments. The Psions abused their captives' natural ability to absorb solar energy by relentlessly bombarding them with experimental energy, trying to determine how much they could absorb before their bodies would overload and explode. The sisters survived the initial tests, and Koriandr's signature "starbolts" were a result of these experiments. Koriand'r eventually escaped by using her new-found starbolts, and then graciously freed her sister despite all that Komand'r had done to her. But despite their recently-shared ordeal, Komand'r was as hateful as ever, and as soon she was freed she attacked Koriand'r with her own newly-developed starbolts. Because Komand'r had been exposed to the experimental energy longer than Koriand'r, her starbolts were more powerful (and she had also finally gained the ability to fly), enabling her to strike down her sister and escape. Koriand'r was recaptured, but later escaped again by seducing one of the guards and fleeing on one of the Psion's own vessels. She eventually arrived on Earth, where she first met the young superhero team known as the Teen Titans .
- THE NEW TEEN TITANS
Earth was completely alien to the Tamaranean princess, but she was able to learn English by kissing Titans leader Robin ( Dick Grayson), which ignited a romance between the two of them. This relationship would eventually help Grayson grow as a person and help him carve out his own identity away from his mentor, Batman. Koriand'r took the code name Starfire and joined the Teen Titans, who became her surrogate family. Her original teammates included Robin (who later changed his code name to Nightwing), Wonder Girl ( Donna Troy), Kid Flash ( Wally West), Cyborg, Raven, and Changeling (now known as Beast Boy). Starfire helped the new group of young heroes make a name for themselves as they battled and defeated many powerful adversaries, including Trigon, Brother Blood, and Deathstroke the Terminator. She served with the team for many years and eventually became a Titans veteran, acting as a mentor to newer members as the team's roster constantly changed.
After the destruction of her home planet of Tamaran by the Sun-Eater, which killed her parents and most of her people, Starfire realized that Earth was now her true and only home. During her period of grief, she decided to take a leave of absence on Themyscira with the Amazons in order to recover.
- THE OUTSIDERS
At the behest of Jade, Kory joined the Outsiders, during a time when the entire team thought that Nightwing (Dick Greyson) was unstable and cared very little for his teammates. This was due to what had happened to Thunder after one of their missions and Nightwing's dismissive attitude towards it. Starfire served with the team during several important story arcs, including a crisis that saw Indigo turn into a homicidal android, bent on destroying both the Titans and the Outsiders due to her heritage of being Brainiac's "offspring" from the future. As always, Starfire showed her warrior's spirit during this conflict, unleashing her most powerful attack which truly made her as powerful as a star and brought the crisis to a close. In the weeks that passed, she found herself reconnecting with Dick on an intimate level on at least one occasion.
Shortly after the Indigo crisis, Donna Troy (who was thought to have died in action) returned to life and sought out Starfire, Jade, Shift, and any others who could survive in the vacuum of space to help investigate problems that were originating from the center of the galaxy. It was discovered that the new crisis was due to the renegade Kryptonian Superboy Prime shifting the positions of planets in that sector of space. Starfire agreed to participate in these events, which escalated and eventually became known as Infinite Crisis.
-BATTLE WITH BLACKFIRE
It was during this time that Starfire once again came into contact with her villainous sister Komand'r, now known as Blackfire. Up until that time, Starfire believed her sister had perished in an earlier encounter. But posing as the Tamaranean Goddess X'hal, Blackfire channeled her new-found powers into tricking her sister into finding her. Starfire, believing that the Goddess had truly shown herself, went off to find her supposed deity only to find herself in quite a predicament.
Once Starfire arrived, Blackfire launched a surprise attack on her sister, and Starfire was captured along with her companions. Blackfire's goal was to extract Starfire's powers with special technology and re-channel them into her own body, permanently giving herself the power of flight and further enhancing her other powers. Starfire and her allies eventually overcame Blackfire after a massive battle in outer space, which saw the destruction of her sister's starship and the apparent demise of Blackfire
- 52
After the events of Infinite Crisis, Starfire, Animal Man, and Adam Strange became unintentional space explorers after the Zeta Beam transported them to an unknown sector of space. They visited many uncharted locations, and during their travels they encountered Lobo, who agreed to help them battle an enemy named Devilance. Eventually Lobo took them to a planet where he was ruling under the ruse of becoming a benevolent ruler who had found religion. In a later incident, they were attacked by the villainous Lady Styx and it seemed that Animal Man was killed. Starfire was injured, but managed to escape alongside Adam Strange. They found their ship badly damaged, to the point where it almost crash landed on the sentient planet-sized Green Lantern called Mogo, though Mogo and his partner managed to save their ship in time. Eventually Starfire made it back to Earth, where she traveled to the Baker household (home of Animal Man) to present Animal Man's family with his jacket and to tell them the unfortunate news of his demise. To Starfire's great surprise, however, she found that Animal Man was still alive and had recently returned to his home. The stress of her ordeal and injuries finally overcame her and she collapsed.
When Starfire later woke in the Baker household, she discovered that she had somehow lost her powers. Animal Man suggested that she stay with them until she figured out what she wanted to do. It turned out that Lady Styx had somehow made Animal Man the carrier of a killer virus, and when he returned home he had unknowingly infected most of the population of his home city, including his own son. Though Starfire and Animal Man were able to resist the virus, all others infected became unnaturally violent; Animal Man's son even tried to kill Starfire and his own sister. Later Animal Man discovered that solar energy could heal the infected. Animal Man, his wife Ellen, and Starfire left Earth for the planet Rann, which had also become infected due to Adam Strange unknowingly carrying the virus there. Starfire was able to recharge her powers on Rann, and then used them to save both Earth and Rann from the virus.
- Justice League
Afterward, Starfire and Donna Troy visited Animal Man's house for a pool party. Congo Bill and Starman arrived and asked Animal Man, Starfire, and Donna Troy to join their fight to bring Prometheus to justice for the murder of their friends. The three agreed and the heroes eventually captured Prometheus, but Star City was then hit by a devastating explosion, apparently engineered by Prometheus. The Justice League helped out and looked for survivors and those that perished in the blast. The death toll was high, and Green Arrow lost his granddaughter in the disaster. Prometheus escaped, but was later killed by Green Arrow to avenge his granddaughter and the other Star City victims.
In the aftermath, a new Justice League of America roster was formed. Starfire joined, along with Congo Bill, Dick Grayson (now in the role of Batman), Donna Troy, The Shield, Black Canary, Mon-El, Cyborg, and Red Tornado. However, Starfire only remained in the Justice League for a span of three issues. In issue #43, she quit the team for personal reasons and wrote a note to Dick Grayson to let them know. Dick Grayson did not tell the Justice League exactly why Starfire left the team. Not feeling that she belonged anywhere, Starfire visited the sector of space where her home planet of Tamaran once was, only to discover that the planet had mysteriously returned. She then encountered Vril Dox and joined his latest galactic super-team known as R.E.B.E.L.S.
Now The events have finished and Starfire moves away from the R.E.B.E.L.S. Starfire is returning to Earth. With a new sense of direction and her heart in check, If one could ever truly over come such emotions. What events this will create? Only time will tell!

Role-play Sample
It had been barely a week since Starfire had shot back to earth. It was the strange thing of trying to slip back into a routine, the only problem with that. Was Kory didn't know where that routine truly laid. At least for the hero world. She knew she had planned for much more than that on her return. She planned to truly shake this world, in more ways than one. It was just a matter of seeking her friends. Feel where everyone stood, whether together still or apart. Were they safe? Of course she cared and she knew little as much as they would know about her. It was possible they thought her dead. There wasn't a feeling crossing her mind, wondering why hadn't they come looking for her. That would be selfish on both parts, right? There were plenty of real people that needed them more. Though in truth they wouldn't have known where to start even if they wanted to find her. It even took Kory a while to realise just where she was.
During her time she learned many things, she had barely knew. Things about the world, all worlds. More importantly she learned more about herself and just what she could bring. Not too just earth, but the entire universe. Even though Earth had began to feel not a part of her when she left, making her feel even more than an alien. Something about the planet, just kept her coming back. For as long as there were many people that looked down upon her as a freak, there were even more that felt just the same. That needed a voice. Or even someone to listen and to understand. In the end, they were all one thing. Life. If it wasn't important, it wouldn't of been created. That was just how Kory understood it. It was the seeking of life, which led Kory to the tower.
It loomed above her. Flashes of hopes and dreams, mixed with memories drove madly in her mind. It was world that maybe was just a few years go, but almost felt like at least a few lifetimes had past. Though standing at the base of where it all started, could bring Kory right back into the flashes. As if they were happening just now. Life was so much simpler back then. Of course Titans faced death everyday, but the whole sense of family. Just made it all completely bearable. It was something Kory and all titans will forever cherish. Something that truly separated them from the non-titans of the hero world. And when ever something would bring them back together, it was like coming back home all over again. They were Kory's home. It made her sad quite often that the moments had more or less passed. But she could always be sure if she ever needed one of the titans help, they would be there.
Kory half expected to see Beast boy flying around her head in one of his bird forms. Or see Cyborg coming down to greet her with one of his super strong handshakes, trying out win Kory's. Perhaps Raven was up in her room, meditating. Kory could almost believe she saw some form of light up there, but it was just the sunlight. Picturing Dick offering a hug, while Roy snickered about the affection and trying some cheesy way to throw in a pick up line. Which would only confuse Kory and make Dick mad. Kory's eyes watered at the amusing thought. They were mixed tears of both sad and joy. Maybe her long absence had made her more home sick, than she thought.
Her eyes quickly dried as she saw movements behind the door. She at first thought her previous thoughts of Raven was right, but she soon could tell they were no titans. Kory all dressed in her Starfire outfit, flew through the doors. She was met with the faces of the past. All carved in stone. Then two forms seeking to mark some of the statues, currently attacking Jericho's and Terra's. Maybe trying to draw attention to the titans, Starfire wasn't sure. Either way they had that now. This place was sacred and it needed to stay that way. Outsiders just wouldn't understand. Lucky, for her they hadn't heard her entered. So she caught the dark mask men of guard as she struck them with a starbolt. Knocking one of them over. The other then turned and aimed to run Starfire down. He was no match. She caught him by the throat and lifted him high. Taking a good look so he could do the same. He wasn't about to forget her face. She smiled darkly at him. During which the other man got up and ran at her. So she caught him as well, by the throat. Lifting him as she had with the other. She lifted herself of the ground and carried them to the front door. Throwing them as harshly as she could, the door hitting one of them on the way out. Their bodies hit the ground hard and there eyes now looked upon her with fright.
"Try this again, or you might not see daylight for awhile. Oh and just a heads up. The tower is watched, so next time you may have more Titans to deal with. You got it? Now, leave!"
Starfire seeing they were just teen boys now after she had ripped their masks off, figured just to give them a warning. She was sure they weren't game enough to return. She wasn't far off in saying the tower was watched as she pointed to one of the cameras above the door. It didn't take long for the two boys to get up and run. Kory just smiled. Problem solved. She hoped. She waved at the camera above her head. There was no way to tell where he was watching it, but she was hoping Cyborg was waving back. She doubted he would just jump into what ever vehicle and come meet her at the tower. This was enough. She turned back into the tower. Walking around the statues. Then stopping to get rid of any marks and getting the statues looking spectacular once again. It was always good to see a friends face again even if it was just of stone.

Starfire helped the new group of young heroes make a name for themselves as they battled and defeated many powerful adversaries, including Trigon, Brother Blood, and Deathstroke the Terminator. She served with the team for many years and eventually became a Titans veteran, acting as a mentor to newer members as the team's roster constantly changed.
After the destruction of her home planet of Tamaran by the Sun-Eater, which killed her parents and most of her people, Starfire realized that Earth was now her true and only home. During her period of grief, she decided to take a leave of absence on Themyscira with the Amazons in order to recover.
- THE OUTSIDERS
At the behest of Jade, Kory joined the Outsiders, during a time when the entire team thought that Nightwing (Dick Greyson) was unstable and cared very little for his teammates. This was due to what had happened to Thunder after one of their missions and Nightwing's dismissive attitude towards it. Starfire served with the team during several important story arcs, including a crisis that saw Indigo turn into a homicidal android, bent on destroying both the Titans and the Outsiders due to her heritage of being Brainiac's "offspring" from the future. As always, Starfire showed her warrior's spirit during this conflict, unleashing her most powerful attack which truly made her as powerful as a star and brought the crisis to a close. In the weeks that passed, she found herself reconnecting with Dick on an intimate level on at least one occasion.
Shortly after the Indigo crisis, Donna Troy (who was thought to have died in action) returned to life and sought out Starfire, Jade, Shift, and any others who could survive in the vacuum of space to help investigate problems that were originating from the center of the galaxy. It was discovered that the new crisis was due to the renegade Kryptonian Superboy Prime shifting the positions of planets in that sector of space. Starfire agreed to participate in these events, which escalated and eventually became known as Infinite Crisis.
-BATTLE WITH BLACKFIRE
It was during this time that Starfire once again came into contact with her villainous sister Komand'r, now known as Blackfire. Up until that time, Starfire believed her sister had perished in an earlier encounter. But posing as the Tamaranean Goddess X'hal, Blackfire channeled her new-found powers into tricking her sister into finding her. Starfire, believing that the Goddess had truly shown herself, went off to find her supposed deity only to find herself in quite a predicament.
Once Starfire arrived, Blackfire launched a surprise attack on her sister, and Starfire was captured along with her companions. Blackfire's goal was to extract Starfire's powers with special technology and re-channel them into her own body, permanently giving herself the power of flight and further enhancing her other powers. Starfire and her allies eventually overcame Blackfire after a massive battle in outer space, which saw the destruction of her sister's starship and the apparent demise of Blackfire

After the events of Infinite Crisis, Starfire, Animal Man, and Adam Strange became unintentional space explorers after the Zeta Beam transported them to an unknown sector of space. They visited many uncharted locations, and during their travels they encountered Lobo, who agreed to help them battle an enemy named Devilance. Eventually Lobo took them to a planet where he was ruling under the ruse of becoming a benevolent ruler who had found religion. In a later incident, they were attacked by the villainous Lady Styx and it seemed that Animal Man was killed. Starfire was injured, but managed to escape alongside Adam Strange. They found their ship badly damaged, to the point where it almost crash landed on the sentient planet-sized Green Lantern called Mogo, though Mogo and his partner managed to save their ship in time. Eventually Starfire made it back to Earth, where she traveled to the Baker household (home of Animal Man) to present Animal Man's family with his jacket and to tell them the unfortunate news of his demise. To Starfire's great surprise, however, she found that Animal Man was still alive and had recently returned to his home. The stress of her ordeal and injuries finally overcame her and she collapsed.
When Starfire later woke in the Baker household, she discovered that she had somehow lost her powers. Animal Man suggested that she stay with them until she figured out what she wanted to do. It turned out that Lady Styx had somehow made Animal Man the carrier of a killer virus, and when he returned home he had unknowingly infected most of the population of his home city, including his own son. Though Starfire and Animal Man were able to resist the virus, all others infected became unnaturally violent; Animal Man's son even tried to kill Starfire and his own sister. Later Animal Man discovered that solar energy could heal the infected. Animal Man, his wife Ellen, and Starfire left Earth for the planet Rann, which had also become infected due to Adam Strange unknowingly carrying the virus there. Starfire was able to recharge her powers on Rann, and then used them to save both Earth and Rann from the virus.
- Justice League
Afterward, Starfire and Donna Troy visited Animal Man's house for a pool party. Congo Bill and Starman arrived and asked Animal Man, Starfire, and Donna Troy to join their fight to bring Prometheus to justice for the murder of their friends. The three agreed and the heroes eventually captured Prometheus, but Star City was then hit by a devastating explosion, apparently engineered by Prometheus. The Justice League helped out and looked for survivors and those that perished in the blast. The death toll was high, and Green Arrow lost his granddaughter in the disaster. Prometheus escaped, but was later killed by Green Arrow to avenge his granddaughter and the other Star City victims.
In the aftermath, a new Justice League of America roster was formed. Starfire joined, along with Congo Bill, Dick Grayson (now in the role of Batman), Donna Troy, The Shield, Black Canary, Mon-El, Cyborg, and Red Tornado. However, Starfire only remained in the Justice League for a span of three issues. In issue #43, she quit the team for personal reasons and wrote a note to Dick Grayson to let them know. Dick Grayson did not tell the Justice League exactly why Starfire left the team. Not feeling that she belonged anywhere, Starfire visited the sector of space where her home planet of Tamaran once was, only to discover that the planet had mysteriously returned. She then encountered Vril Dox and joined his latest galactic super-team known as R.E.B.E.L.S.
Now The events have finished and Starfire moves away from the R.E.B.E.L.S. Starfire is returning to Earth. With a new sense of direction and her heart in check, If one could ever truly over come such emotions. What events this will create? Only time will tell!

Role-play Sample
It had been barely a week since Starfire had shot back to earth. It was the strange thing of trying to slip back into a routine, the only problem with that. Was Kory didn't know where that routine truly laid. At least for the hero world. She knew she had planned for much more than that on her return. She planned to truly shake this world, in more ways than one. It was just a matter of seeking her friends. Feel where everyone stood, whether together still or apart. Were they safe? Of course she cared and she knew little as much as they would know about her. It was possible they thought her dead. There wasn't a feeling crossing her mind, wondering why hadn't they come looking for her. That would be selfish on both parts, right? There were plenty of real people that needed them more. Though in truth they wouldn't have known where to start even if they wanted to find her. It even took Kory a while to realise just where she was.
During her time she learned many things, she had barely knew. Things about the world, all worlds. More importantly she learned more about herself and just what she could bring. Not too just earth, but the entire universe. Even though Earth had began to feel not a part of her when she left, making her feel even more than an alien. Something about the planet, just kept her coming back. For as long as there were many people that looked down upon her as a freak, there were even more that felt just the same. That needed a voice. Or even someone to listen and to understand. In the end, they were all one thing. Life. If it wasn't important, it wouldn't of been created. That was just how Kory understood it. It was the seeking of life, which led Kory to the tower.
It loomed above her. Flashes of hopes and dreams, mixed with memories drove madly in her mind. It was world that maybe was just a few years go, but almost felt like at least a few lifetimes had past. Though standing at the base of where it all started, could bring Kory right back into the flashes. As if they were happening just now. Life was so much simpler back then. Of course Titans faced death everyday, but the whole sense of family. Just made it all completely bearable. It was something Kory and all titans will forever cherish. Something that truly separated them from the non-titans of the hero world. And when ever something would bring them back together, it was like coming back home all over again. They were Kory's home. It made her sad quite often that the moments had more or less passed. But she could always be sure if she ever needed one of the titans help, they would be there.
Kory half expected to see Beast boy flying around her head in one of his bird forms. Or see Cyborg coming down to greet her with one of his super strong handshakes, trying out win Kory's. Perhaps Raven was up in her room, meditating. Kory could almost believe she saw some form of light up there, but it was just the sunlight. Picturing Dick offering a hug, while Roy snickered about the affection and trying some cheesy way to throw in a pick up line. Which would only confuse Kory and make Dick mad. Kory's eyes watered at the amusing thought. They were mixed tears of both sad and joy. Maybe her long absence had made her more home sick, than she thought.
Her eyes quickly dried as she saw movements behind the door. She at first thought her previous thoughts of Raven was right, but she soon could tell they were no titans. Kory all dressed in her Starfire outfit, flew through the doors. She was met with the faces of the past. All carved in stone. Then two forms seeking to mark some of the statues, currently attacking Jericho's and Terra's. Maybe trying to draw attention to the titans, Starfire wasn't sure. Either way they had that now. This place was sacred and it needed to stay that way. Outsiders just wouldn't understand. Lucky, for her they hadn't heard her entered. So she caught the dark mask men of guard as she struck them with a starbolt. Knocking one of them over. The other then turned and aimed to run Starfire down. He was no match. She caught him by the throat and lifted him high. Taking a good look so he could do the same. He wasn't about to forget her face. She smiled darkly at him. During which the other man got up and ran at her. So she caught him as well, by the throat. Lifting him as she had with the other. She lifted herself of the ground and carried them to the front door. Throwing them as harshly as she could, the door hitting one of them on the way out. Their bodies hit the ground hard and there eyes now looked upon her with fright.
"Try this again, or you might not see daylight for awhile. Oh and just a heads up. The tower is watched, so next time you may have more Titans to deal with. You got it? Now, leave!"
Starfire seeing they were just teen boys now after she had ripped their masks off, figured just to give them a warning. She was sure they weren't game enough to return. She wasn't far off in saying the tower was watched as she pointed to one of the cameras above the door. It didn't take long for the two boys to get up and run. Kory just smiled. Problem solved. She hoped. She waved at the camera above her head. There was no way to tell where he was watching it, but she was hoping Cyborg was waving back. She doubted he would just jump into what ever vehicle and come meet her at the tower. This was enough. She turned back into the tower. Walking around the statues. Then stopping to get rid of any marks and getting the statues looking spectacular once again. It was always good to see a friends face again even if it was just of stone.
