( 📩 → donna✨ unknown ): I did what you told me and did not put the foil inside!  ( 📩 → donna✨ unknown ): I am not sure what I did wrong.

[ yell ] for your muse to calm mine down @vengeancedemons​

Kori was used to strong emotions. She felt them every day, had never really understood why humans were so intent on hiding just how they felt. It still confused her to this day and she had been on Earth since she was a teenager. She doubted that she’d every really understand it. Robbie seemed to be someone who also had strong emotions, especially anger. A lot of anger. She absently wondered if he knew Jason. If they got along with how much the two men held so much anger inside and didn’t try to suppress it, it seemed. 

“Robbie, it’s alright! Everything will be okay?” It was more a question than anything, Kori entirely unsure if she could calm the angry man down in the moment. “Yes, yes it will be okay! Not a question, it will be. Do we need to go punch things? I have done that plenty of the times to expel my own frustrations! Or blow things up. I have been told by Nightwing I should be doing that one less though. So we must blow things up not in Gotham or Bludhaven. Would you like to blow things up? Where no one will get harmed, of course, but I would have to fly us and would have to carry you. I do not know if that would be beneficial in our situation, so perhaps just punching things, yes?” Kori settled on finally with a bright grin, clapping her hands together expectantly as she waited for an answer.

[ lift ] for your muse to give mine a hand stepping up or over something etc. @cxinwayne​

Kori was plenty familiar with the various bats. Whether that was working with them herself a time or two before or through stories she had heard from Dick. She felt she practically knew them all herself. Had seen flashes of curly blonde hair under a cowl or the red and green and yellow of a familiar Robin suit that had evolved over time since she had seen it dawn on the man she had known for years. She knew that they were secretive, seemed to keep to their familiar close-knit group. A dysfunctional one, but close regardless. So to step into Gotham and not immediately be confronted or told to leave was a feat in itself. 

Coming across the woman she had recognized as one of the bats and a younger sibling of Dick was surprising, especially with the rubble of the building that was blocking her way to get to a man on the run. Kori landed on the rubble and offered her a hand, “Would you like some assistance. He will not get far.”

"I love you so much and I would do anything for you, but if you ever ask me to tell them to put pineapples on the pizza ever again we’re done.” @anxietylanterncruz​

Kori immediately pouted at the words that came from her friend and she sighed dramatically, flopping back onto the couch. “It is just pineapple! I think it is delicious.” She groaned, twirling some of her fiery hair around her finger. She knew that she had plenty of ‘odd’ food habits that others thought were utterly bizarre. Donna had tried to kindly inform her once that no, she did not want a mustard and peanut butter sandwich and that was definitely not something most humans would enjoy. 

Now Kori had been in the process of learning that pineapple on pizza was quite the debate among humans. Some loved it, others hated it, like Jessica seemed to. “What is your ideal pizza then, Jessica?” Kori asked curiously as the other woman was still in the midst of ordering pizza for them. “No pineapple, I assume,” she grinned after a moment, nudging Jess with her knee. “I enjoy it! Though, I am told that I enjoy many odd foods. Not sure if I am allowed to put much input in.”

The broom flew. Like a real witch broomstick. Gabby couldn’t fly. So the choice seemed obvious. Flying broomstick. Anyone would’ve done the same, right? It seemed like a hell of a ride. Unfortunately, Gabby had no idea how to control this thing. She didn’t even know if it could be controlled. Jumping off was seeming more and more like a good option, but she couldn’t see if she was going to land on someone below. Maybe one of the X-Men or other mutants were around and could grab her instead.

So she yelled, hoping someone she knew would hear. Someone heard, but Gabby wasn’t expecting the gorgeous alien woman who grabbed a hold of the broom. Her eyes lit up. “Thanks so much!” She nodded eagerly. “I’m fine, promise! Either is good for me. Maybe the ground, actually. What borough are we over?” Gabby shrugged. “It’s not actually my broom, but it flew past me so I just jumped on.”

***

A smile easily bloomed onto Kori’s features at the younger woman and she nodded easily, “of course, it is not a problem at all.” It was her job, one she had happily taken up when she decided to stay on Earth and found she could help those who needed it. Her time with the Titans, her family, made it all worth it. To make a difference and not be trapped on a planet where you weren’t wanted. She felt more of an Earthling than she did a Tamaranean. 

“I think we are above Brooklyn?” She offered and glanced down at the street below them, pumpkins rushing around after people and ghostly figures that seemed to be there one moment then disappear the next. “I will bring us to the ground. If you need to be elsewhere I am happy to fly you there.” Kori smiled, hand still wrapped around the broom so it wouldn’t take off, and lowered them down to the street below. “I am Starfire, or you may call me Koriand’r if you prefer.” She introduced herself, “do you know quite what’s going on? I have heard things here and there, but...it’s quite the situation the city seems to be in. At least no one seems to be in danger.”

[ caught ]  for  your  muse  to  catch  my  muse  wearing  their  shirt . @catalystsofchange​

The shirt was one that had been tucked in Kori’s drawer for far too long. She vaguely remembered stealing it out of the drawer inside of Dick’s apartment, tugging on the t-shirt with ‘BCPD’ on it for the Bludhaven city police department before going to find her boyfriend at the time. It lived in her drawer now, still worn here and there when she allowed herself to have a ‘lazy day’ as Donna had told her before. It was one she wore to bed now more often than not, forgetting that the shirt didn’t even belong to her anymore. It was her favorite one to wear, if she was honest. It brought her far too much comfort.

“I have acquired many snacks for us for tonight!” She informed Dick excitedly prior to their friendly movie night and paused in confusion when he seemed to be staring at the shirt she was wearing. Looking down, Kori froze when she realized she was wearing the shirt was once his again. “Oh! I—uh—” she stuttered a bit, unsure of how to even explain why she still wore it, the normal heat that radiated from her increasing tenfold in her flustered state.

(THEY SPEAK): for OUR MUSES to find a talking animal of some kind. @ruleroflimbo​

Kori blinked in surprise, standing before the cat who had been trotting alongside her before informing her how hungry she was. It took a moment for it to fully register to her that the cat was speaking. Out loud. It was jarring enough so Kori waved down the woman, a bit perplexed (more than a bit, if she were being honest). “Hello! Sorry to be a bother, but...perhaps do you have anything for this lovely cat to eat?”

“I’m starving. I’ll take some tuna, or any cat food you can offer!” The cat chirped excitedly, tail swaying and Kori exchanged a look with the woman, mumbling, “are you as confused as I am right now?”

@stxrsfires​

Dick had dreamed of this. Time and time again, for as long as he could remember, he’d dreamed of this. It was to the point that, when it had happened, he’d thought he was imagining it. He’d called Leslie, told her he was pretty sure he had a brain injury or something, nearly dropped the phone when she explained to him quietly that it was happening all over the city, that it was real. He still pinched himself so many times he had bruises on his arms. It didn’t change what he was seeing.

Mary and John Grayson were standing in his living room.

There’d been a lot of crying, at first. He’d talked to them until his throat ached, tried catching them up on everything good he’d been through while leaving out the bad because he didn’t know how much time he’d have and he didn’t want it to be spent in grief. He told them about Bruce, told them he was taken care of. He told them about Jason, Tim, Damian, Cass, Duke, Steph, and the rest of the family, told them he’d gotten to be a big brother even if he wasn’t always sure he was good at it. He told them about the Titans. And when he finished, they were still there.

It was Mary who asked for the introduction. She was smiling, eyes shining, saying she wanted to meet everyone, everyone who made him who he was. And there were a few pretty obvious places to start. He was knocking on Kori’s door before he knew he’d decided where to head first, fingers tapping against his thigh as he waited for her to answer. When the door swung open, he flashed her a smile. “Okay,” he said, “don’t freak out. I, uh… I wanted to ask if you’d like to meet my parents?”

***

Kori wasn’t sure exactly what was happening across the city. She had helped a girl get off an out of control broomstick and seen pumpkins seemingly committing various crimes or throwing insults out at people as they passed by. It felt like something out of one of those Halloween movies she had watched before, huddled up with her friends as a bowl of popcorn sat on her lap, her attention completely taken by the world before her eyes. Now that it was happening in her own world, it was a bit odd, something she was trying to register. It seemed to be mostly harmless, save for the pumpkin who tried to steal her purse and she had promptly thrown a starbolt at. 

The knock at her door drew Kori’s attention away from peering out her window to see if there was any chaos she had to stop. She headed towards it and opened it, smiling instantly when she saw Dick there. Though, it quickly changed into a confused look rather. “Your parents?” She asked, hesitating for a moment. She had heard stories of Dick’s parents from him, the warmth mixed in with how much he missed them. “Your parents.” She repeated again, “I am not doing any of the freaking out! I am just...confused.” She admitted.

This was Dick though. It had been years of putting her hand in his and leaping when he asked her. That kind of trust that she didn’t have with truly anyone else save for Donna. So she was going to do just that. “I’d love to meet them,” she finally settled on with a soft smile, “They are responsible for raising my favorite human ever. I have to thank them for creating such a wonderful person.” She teased fondly, holding her hand out to put into his and have him lead the way.

(NEW WORLD): for the SENDER’S MUSE to get trapped on a flying broom, having to call the POSTER’S MUSE for help. @thehoneyxbadger​

Kori wasn’t exactly sure what was happening. A dog had asked her if she knew her wallet was sticking halfway out of her purse. She would have been more alarmed at the time if she hadn’t known Gar from her time with her Titans family. It only occurred to her later that perhaps all dogs shouldn’t be talking. Especially to someone like her who didn’t understand animals like those with powers that gave them the ability to understand the thoughts of animals. 

Now, she could hear someone yelling from the sky and asking for help. Kori immediately took to the sky, flying towards the woman and grabbing hold of the broom that was attempting to take off in her grasp, her hand going to the younger woman’s waist to steady her in case the broom decided to stop taking flight. “Are you alright? I can take you to the street or a nearby rooftop. Did you want me to bring your broom with us?” She inquired politely.
