(Bold is Tamaranian, Reg. is English)

"Everyone, we have someone for you guys to meet. This is my cousin" I glanced at Starfire as she spoke to them in English. When I arrived, I was told it was rude to kiss someone without their consent, even if it was to learn a language so I have still to learn any language on Earth. "She's not fluent in the English language yet but she can hold simple conversations. I hope you guys can get along!" she told them, nudging me forward.

"Nice to meet you. My Earth name is (Y/n)." I told them.

"Raven." the girl said and then left.

"I'm Blue Beetle, nice to meet you." I looked at the taller boys out of the three.

"I'm Beast boy! You can call me that or Gar." the one with green skin told me.

"Alien?" I asked in tamaranian, looking at him.

"He's human, despite his appearance." I looked at Blue Beetle, surprised hearing him speak.

"You understand?" I asked him.

"Oh, my scarab.. translated for me." he said pointing behind him.

"I see..." I said, still not understanding.

"This is my brother, Robin." I looked at Dick, Starfire's lover.

"Robin?" I repeated and he nodded.

"It's his alias. He can tell you his name if he wants." Dick told me and I nodded.

I looked at Robin, he was slightly taller than Beast boy, and his features didn't match Dick at all, except for the hair color.

"Aren't you the one who destroyed the harbor a few years ago?" he asked me.

"Harbor?" I asked, not understanding.

"Blue." he looked towards Blue Beetle.

"oh, uh- harbor." he translated for me.

"Ah.. that. Yes, it was me." I nodded.

Robin just stared at me and left after that. "He's.. nice." I smiled at Dick.

"Sorry about him." Dick told me and I shrugged. "I'll be on the roof." I said, leaving through an open window and flying up to the roof of the tall building.

Starfire brought me here because she wanted to show me the young heroes of earth. Also so that I could have a place to stay. I've been wandering around the past few years, going to different countries and stuff. I kept my promise to Star and didn't kiss anyone so I didn't have much communication skills with the language barrier.

I stared at the sun as it sank below the water. "It's time to eat." I heard a voice and saw it was Robin.

"What's to eat?" I asked him.

"Beast boy made dinner, so who knows." he said sitting by me. "I heard you guys can learn languages easily, why haven't you?" he asked me.

"I was told that I shouldn't do it without consent." I told him.

"Well, thats true." he told me.

"I have learned the normal way." I shrugged.

"It's not bad." he told me.

"Thank you." I told him.

Weeks passed as I spent my time living with the Teen Titans. I am basically a freeloader in the tower. I cook and clean, but I don't partake in any of the hero work they do, mainly because of communication. Only Star and Beetle can understand me at most times and even then it can be hard.

Beetle was incredibly nice, and offered to help me learn English with the help of his scarab. My English improved and he was even teaching me things in Spanish.

"How are your lessons?" I saw it was Starfire.

"Beetle's a good teacher, or is scarab the good teacher?" I asked her with a smile.

"Do you like it here?" she asked.

".. I can see why you like Earth." I told her. "I haven't met much people, but most of the ones I've met are nice, and willing to help." I told her.

"Anyone interesting?" she asked me.

"Interesting? Hm, Robin is always watching me. I think he doesn't trust me." I smiled. "I understand why... I asked Beetle about the harbor incident.. a lot of people were injured and killed because of me." I sighed.

"It wasn't your fault." Star placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't lie." I told her as she pet my head.

Three years ago, I arrived on this planet. I was kidnapped by some slavers out in space, and managed to escape in a pod. I crashed on Earth. When I woke up, I was still in chains, my clothes were a mess, and everyone was crowding me, flashes from mysterious small hand held devices and screaming and yelling in a language I couldn't understand. Someone grabbed me and I broke his arm. I managed to break my restraints and tried to run away. I was too panicked to try fly away, and had to push and shove my way through. I ended up getting shot by one of the officers on the scene, the bullet injury made me angry and I started to attack the police officers.
Eventually, I was detained by Martian Manhunter and Superman. They let me meet Star, who listened to my story and explained my circumstances.

"It's my fault people died that day." I said. In the past three years, I've been running not liking the idea of going to prison or being sent to an alien facility. It was Batman who tracked me down and convinced me, through a bunch of pictures and hand motions that running wasn't an answer and I had to face the consequences.

"My punishment.. has it been decided?" I asked her.

"They are trying to lessen your punishment taking your circumstances under consideration. But because you were running for three years, people have doubts and suspicions and are pushing for harsher verdicts." she told me.

".. I'll accept whatever they decide." I sighed.

A few days later, my punishment was decided and Dick was the one to tell me. "Basically... jail time then community service by working as a hero." Dick told me.

"Thats it?" I asked and he nodded.

"If you're good you'll get out earlier but yeah jail." He said.

"Thank you for message, when I leave?" I asked.

"For now, wear this. It's a tracker. We're putting you in a prison with super powered criminals. There was some debate on it but there was concern for the safety of others if you were in a regular jail with humans." He told me.

"I understand." I said, putting on the small cuff bracelet.

"Hey." I looked at Robin who was by the door. "Can I speak with her?" He asked Dick. He just looked at us and nodded.

"You gonna be okay?" He asked, sitting next to me on the couch.

"It can't be bad..." I smiled.

He just sighed, "I don't dislike you, but it's hard to talk to you." He told me.

"Why hard?" I asked him.

"You lack the vocabulary to hold long conversations." He simply told me. "But, you are getting better." He said.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"You'll have a hard time in prison if you don't understand them." He told me.

"I guess, but they might also leave me alone too." I said.

"Or make fun of you without your knowledge." He said, looking at me.

"Worried about me?" I asked.

"Of course I am." He said without hesitation.

"Why?" I asked him. "We are not close for you to worried about me." I told him as he just stared at the ground.

"I apologize if I came off as cold." He began. "You are the first proper alien I've met that hasn't been on Earth for a long time." He said.

"Meaning?" I asked.

"I have alien friends.. but they were born here or here for a long time. You are not from Earth and unfamiliar with our customs and so.. I spent a lot of time researching and asking others.. about alien customs, to try make you more comfortable, but since you are leaving.. I guess I took too long." He explained.

I smiled, "thank you for that. When I come back, I look forward to seeing you again." He just stared at me.

"Damn it all." He sighed and before I could ask why he said that, I felt a hand on my cheek and lips on mine. I was surprised and pushed him away.

"What the hell was that for?" I asked while covering my mouth.

"When you come back, I will tell you my reasoning." He said.

"Wha- Robin!" I stopped him from leaving.

"My name's Damian." He smiled and left the room.

~~~~~

I served time for 3 years. Some people tried messing with me, but I was able to take care of them easily. The food was horrible and the beds were uncomfortable, the people were unpleasant and I couldn't wait to leave.

"Ready to go?" Superman asked me.

"I didn't think you were picking me up." I said as he took off my tracker bracelet.

"There's someone waiting for you." He said as we walked out of the prison.

"Who? Star?" I asked.

"Should I be offended?" I heard the familiar voice and saw a much taller Damian. Behind him was a car and an elderly looking butler.

"I'll be going then." Superman smiled and flew away.

I turned my gaze back to Damian. "You didn't have to come all the way here." I said dropping my bags at our feet.

"I couldn't wait to see you." He mumbled, a hand brushing my hair out of my face. He coughed awkwardly, "I was told you guys don't show affection in public, so let's go somewhere more private?" He asked. "Starfire also told me about the Tamaranean way of welcoming someone home but with my human strength, I don't think it would be the same effect." He said as we entered the car.

I just stared at his face, comparing it to the one in my memory. His hair was the same, but his chubby cheeks were more defined and his jawline became sharp. His eyes didn't change much, except he had bags from obvious lack of sleep. I noticed a few strands of baby hair just barely over his forehead. I smiled seeing how much he's grown.

"Anyway, they're all preparing a party for your return, and-... are you listening?" Damian asked me.

"Nope. Sorry." I smiled and he just sighed. I leaned my head on his shoulder, "I missed you too." I told him. "Also.. you still have to explain that kiss." I reminded him.

"Can't I kiss a girl I like.." he mumbled.

"Not without my consent." I argued. He was silent after that.

"I'm sorry." He said and I looked up at him seeing his embarrassment spreading over his face. "I'll make it up to you." He told me.

"Oh? How?" I asked, curious but also wanting to tease him.

"Whatever you want." He said, fixing my hair again. ".. can I kiss you? Please?" He asked me.

I laughed seeing his face, he seemed to be really embarrassed that I brought up consent. "Hmm I don't know can you?" I asked, resting my chin on my palm. He glared at me with a pout.

He sighed, "I humbly request for your permission to place my lips on to yours to engage in the act of kissing." He said dramatically. "Then and only then, may I be able to relieve myself from the past three tears of-" I kissed him.

He smiled, "that was embarrassing." He sighed.

"Indeed, 'twas mighty embarrassing for you, sir. But may I humbly ask for another kiss?" I asked and he smiled and pulled me in. The kisses were short and sweet each time, sometimes going a bit onto the passionate side, but still enjoyable.
