Despite the ambiguous yet, potentially expensive stakes, Dick Grayson maintained his current pace. After all, Kori wasn’t the type that would ABUSE power. He did notice that the Tamaranean not only caught up to him, but also shot past the super spy with ease, had it not been for the salt water, Dick surely would have shot her a friendly WINK.
Outstretched fingers reached for the boat came a few seconds after Starfire’s and as such she WON the bet. As Dick re-emerged from the water, he took a few moments to catch his breath before speaking because Dick ALWAYS had to say something clever.
❝I suppose it does, though I can’t help but feel as though you had HELP from the dolphins…❞
Immediately following his PLAYFUL accusation, he pulled himself up the ladder. Due to the weight of the water, the fabric tugged downwards, giving the alien a salivating view of his GLORIOUS backside.
❝So…what do I OWE you?❞
there was ABSOLUTELY no effort on her part to keep her eyes to HERSELF as dick climbed ONTO the ladder. a small smile tugged at the corner of her LIPS as she flew out of the water, rising until she was eye level with the SUPER SPY. beads of the blue liquid clung to her skin, some SLIDING back into the ocean.
❛phillip and shelley did not HELP me cheat, i won fairly. if you still DOUBT me, i would not be OPPOSED to a rematch … ❜
she trailed off for a MINUTE, getting closer and closer to him, only STOPPING when their lips WERE an inch or so apart, fiery hair sliding over her shoulder.
❛ … but i think what i have in MIND is a little better than a rematch. ❜
Send me ‘💍’ for our muses to wake up married after a night of heavy drinking || Answering
kori let out a GROAN as she slowly came to. her head THROBBED and every breath she took ONLY seemed to amplify it. whatever they had been drinking last night, it CERTAINLY had been strong, strong enough to leave her FEELING like she’d been hit by one of those trucks.
she curled up in bed, HIDING her head in the nook of dick’s shoulder before LETTING out a sigh and SITTINGUP. hiding from the sun would only make her feel WORSE. the only way to make this hangover better was to step OUTSIDE.
she grabbed her ROBE and tied it loosely, opening the door slightly and STEPPING out into the SUNSHINE. she winced initially but, after a minute, she began FEELING better. she stood there for a moment, just taking in the LIGHT, before noticing how it strangely seemed to bounce BACK in front of her hand.
it took a minute for her EYES to find the ring, large and beautiful and SHINING in the sunlight. she BEGAN to vaguely recall memories of the prior night, RECALLED dick proposing and her changing into a white sundress for the OCCASION.
x’hal, they got married last night.
she blinked for a few SECONDS, processing the information before taking TWO big steps back INSIDE. she shut the door and turned to face the bed, CATCHING sight of an awakening dick.
❛ richard … ❜ she began SLOWLY, taking a seat on the edge of the bed, ❛ what do you remember about last night??? ❜
❝I think we should don’t want them to get ANY ideas..❞
It was said that the auditory complex of a Dolphin’s brain were so developed that they could hear the nervous, yet exhilarated beating of the two’s hearts and that their ALTRUISTIC nature might have inspired the animals to follow the pair until the affliction of unrequited love had been CURED.. The Angels of the Sea weren’t as meddlesome as dogs, but Agent 37 already had two of his wishes granted, the only one left was time ALONE with the effulgent Tamaranean. Dick leaned in and gave Kori ANOTHER kiss on the lips because he owed her at least several hundreds of those, before grabbing her hand and tugging her back to the boat.
❝Kori, you should know by now, I THRIVE on facing my FEARS….well that sounded badass in my head… ❞
Assured that the alien would follow, Dick broke off the embrace so that he could swim back, offering Kori a glimpse of what drove the world MAD, Dick Grayson’s hypnotically defined back, just waiting to have one’s nails drag across it and fleshy rear, which cottoned briefs fought VALIANTLY to cover up, it was the true hero here. The inner COMPETITOR in Dick came out as he cried out in between strokes.
❝I’ll RACE you to the boat, loser has to….we’ll let the winner decide that…❞
kori lagged BEHIND for a second, simply letting herself WATCH the spy swim back towards the boat, eyes TRACING the muscles of his back. there was a small, SIMPLE, happy smile on her face, left from their REUNION, though it quickly tugged into one of her RARE smirks.
a dolphin floated NEXT to her, making a few noises of APPRECIATION. it awakened her from her THOUGHT bubble long enough for her to get READY to race, ❛ i am on my way!!! ❜
eyes focusing on the TARGET, she recalled the way she had observed the FISH at the aquarium RACING. she lowered herself into the water and shot off TOWARDS the boat. she slowed DOWN once they were side by side, taking ANOTHER few appreciative glances before speeding up AGAIN. she did want to WIN, after all.
she submerged herself FURTHER into the water, hands reaching out for the BOAT. the second her FINGERTIPS brushed it’s surface, she popped out of the WATER, drops of it clinging to the TOPS of her eyelashes, ❛ surprise!!! does this MEAN that i won? ❜
Such sugary words could serve as the PERFECT ELIXER to a lonely soul. Orange and light-tan were so close to each other that they could practically feel each other’s heartbeat, both DANCING in unison to the same brisk tango.
❝ I didn’t want to appear DESPERATE..❞
The spy whispered his masculine insecurities against the alien princess’s lips, but now that they had each other, he was scared, anxious to know what the FUTURE would bring for them. Deep down, he knew that a super spy would make a TERRIBLE partner, but the hopeless romantic in Dich believed his LOVE for the Tamaranaean had, in fact, been eternal, with his feelings over the past years laingdormant. Finally, his eyes took an inventory of their surroundings, as TENDER as their embrace was, the surface would fare much better, or would it? Pressing another kiss to her lips, this one much shorter as it served as a preamble to his question.
❝ Should we take THIS somewhere a little more private, away from the two dolphins that are staring at us?❞
kori couldn’t HELP the wide smile that spread across her lips as she was KISSING him. for so long, THIS had been what she wanted, for so long, she’d just WANTED for them to be together again. and, even though part of her was a little NERVOUS ( given that they had broken up once before ), she REFUSED to let that EMOTION control her. they were together again and all that she could feel was JOY.
❛ i was CONCERNED that, if i voiced my feelings, it might SCARE you. ❜
she broke away from the kiss for a MOMENT, casting a glance at the dolphins, talking AMONGST themselves as they watched them. words must travel fast among the dolphins. i don’t recall telling these my dilemma. she OFFERED them an excited grin but got the sense that they WOULD NOT be moving anytime soon.
❛ perhaps we should RETURN to dry land … i do not THINK that they wish to leave. ❜
send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child.
Name: Jonn Grayson Gender: Male General Appearance: He’s got Dick’s facial structure and eye color but he does have Kori’s super red hair. His eyes are really, really bright and mimic the effect of glowing the right light. Personality: Generally, he’s very interested in everything and pretty quick at picking things up. He’s very spirited and, even though this is good sometimes, it often lands him in trouble. Special Talents: He’s really good at fighting and gets a hella tan after spending 10 minutes in the sun. Who they like better: It depends on their mood. Sometimes, it’s Kori, but after a long day, it’s Dick. Who they take after more: It changed as he got older. Up until the age of 12, it was Kori, but he started taking more after Dick the older he got. Personal Head canon: He had a really embarrassing middle school emo phase. Face Claim: Riley Thomas Stewart
His heart did a quadruple back-flip out of JOY upon realizing that the leap of FAITH he took, brought him to paradise. It was as if their lips were pieces to a puzzle and when they connected, the world was greeted with the BEAUTIFUL picture that was Dick and Kori’s amorous embrace. The LOOK on his face when she pulled away echoed that of a child running down the stairs on Christmas morning. His chest felt the SAME way too.
❝ Really? The fact that I agreed to drop EVERYTHING and meet you here. Jump into the water in ONLY my underwear didn’t clue you in..❞
Words slowly BLOSSOMED into blissful laughter as relief flowed through his body. The LOVE that he felt for the Tamaranean which hung over his neck like an anchor dragging him down, now lifted his spirit to EXTRAORDINARY heights. Dick brought his drenched fingers to her cheek and began stroking the softness of her skin.
❝ You are and will ALWAYS be shining star in my life Kori, I want you to know THAT..❞
a wide SMILE spread across her face, erasing any traces of SADNESS that might have been on it PREVIOUSLY. she had been so full of doubt, so CONVINCED that he wanted to MOVEON that she hadn’t ever stopped to CONSIDER that maybe he wanted just the opposite, that MAYBE he wanted the same thing THAT she did: them, together again.
❛ you cancelled ALL of your plans to meet me? ❜ she asked, PROUD of her slowly growing UNDERSTANDING of earthern slang, ❛ i was not AWARE of that. ❜
the sound of his LAUGH was like a breath of fresh air. they had been APART for so long and their REUNION ( although joyful ) had been so very serious. it was NICE to hear his laugh and she couldn’t help the way her HEARTBEAT sped up at the sound of it.
1. Teach her something about Earth. Kori really wants to learn more about the planet and is, obviously, very interested in it’s many cultures. Tell her about a country that you went to or offer her some food from your muse’s native country. It will make her excited.
2. Ask her for help. She’s a very helpful soul so she’ll be all over your muse. Kori is a mom at heart (I think) so she likes helping people obviously.
3. ASK HER ABOUT TAMARAN. That’s a big one. She loves her planet so much. Only thing is that she will not stop talking about it and your muse will be there. For a very long time.
4. Alternatively, hurt her or someone she cares about, and you will invoke her wrath which, if you want to do, should be fun! Maybe not for your muse…
It was AMAZING how their afternoon was turned on its heel, one second Kori was PLAYFULLY tugging Dick through the ocean, the next, neither could whisper a word without adding TENSION. The battle RAGED within himself as to whether he should tell Starfire how he felt, practically handing his HEART to her, or come up with a lie in an attempt to PROTECT them both from the eventual heartbreak. Yet, the MOMENT Dick caught sight of her beautiful green eyes, his heart spoke for him.
❝ No…..no I don’t. I know you don’t want to hear THIS Kori, but the MOMENT you kissed me back at the dock several weeks ago. Was the moment I realized what a FOOL I had been, for keeping myself away from the woman that I LOVE.. ❞
The WORRY in his voice was a far-cry from the usual flamboyant demeanor, he carried himself with. Despite feeling the OBVIOUS anxiety that came with proclaiming one’s LOVE for someone before knowing for sure those feelings were MUTUAL, there was something…CATHARTIC about finally getting it off his chest since he reunited with Kori. Even if the Tamaranean BROKE his heart, he could, at least, be content on the fact that he held NOTHING back from her. His fragility and sincerity were EVIDENT in how he looked at her.
❝ I know you just wanted to have FUN today and I’m sorry, but I’ve done ENOUGH lying to people over the past few months. I had to tell you the TRUTH.. ❞
as soon as the WORDS left his lips, kori’s heartbeat seemed to SPEED up. she had never DREAMED, never dared to even think, that he might feel the SAME way as her. after all, they had been APART for so long and dick had seemed so INTENT on moving on. she briefly wondered if it was a JOKE, if it was some cruel TRICK being played on her but those doubts were WASHED away the second her eyes locked with his. he MEANT it, his feelings were SINCERE, real. he really, truly loved her.
and that was all of the ENCOURAGEMENT she needed. all of the fear that she had FELT only a few MOMENTS ago completely disappeared, he felt the same and she wasn’t about to let him WALK out of her LIFE again.
she CLOSED the distance between them, putting her lips to his, CONVEYING her matching FEELINGS for him through the kiss. it felt like she had been WAITING for this moment for years and there were no words, in any LANGUAGE, that could properly express the LOVE she felt for him.
❛ i have been feeling the same way ever SINCE we met again but i thought that you wanted to MOVE ON. i am very glad that i was WRONG about that. ❜
Dick was taken back by Kori’s sudden shift in TONE, words that were previously laced with sweetness were replaced with cold INDIFFERENCE. He couldn’t even be met with her alluring emerald orbs. Had he done something wrong? His heart sank as Grayson immediately picked up on what TROUBLED the Tamaranean. It was the implication that Dick selfishly wanted to turn this platonic get-together into a date. Tiger was right, Dick Grayson was an IDIOT.
❝ Kori, I’m SORRY that I said this was a date, it just slipped out…❞
Putting his hands on her shoulders, Grayson was determined to make this right. To go back to where things were several minutes ago, not years. As much as it PAINED him, maybe he needed to verbalize his concession towards pursuing any type of romantic relationship with her. Now it was his turn to look away, eyes studying the water beneath them, he spoke as though he was delivering a EULOGY. Which in many ways he was.
❝ You said it yourself that we need to move FORWARD and I keep trying to pull you back. Some friend..huh? ❞
her LINGERING feelings were extremely frustrating. they hadn’t been a together for years and for the longest time, kori was convinced that dick had died. those events ALONE should have been enough to SQUANDER any remaining feelings that she had left for him and she thought that they had but, instead, it looked as if the affection, the love that she felt for him went DORMANT, only to be AWAKENED by his reappearance in her life.
and she didn’t know if she liked it, if she LIKED the fact that she was still feeling the same sort of COMPASSION for him that she had when she was younger. when they had broken up, her world had been leveled, only for it to suffer the same sort of devastation when news of his death REACHED her. everything she felt, every single EMOTION seemed heightened, and she didn’t know if she wanted to feel that sort of tenderness for him if nothing was going to come of it. she didn’t want to suffer the WRECKAGE of him walking out of her life again.
❛ richard… ❜ she began SLOWLY, eyes looking at his face slowly, trying to gauge his reaction, ❛ do you really believe that? do you think that we should be MOVING forward? ❜ she just need to know what he THOUGHT, what his feelings were, she just needed some closure in that aspect, and then she WOULD deal with her feelings accordingly, she just NEEDED to know.
kori never liked saying GOODBYE. everything about the affair was bittersweet and the sensation was not one that she particularly enjoyed. however, she never went out of her way to AVOID goodbyes. they were a NECESSARY evil, especially given that dick was a super spy and she was never sure if their goodbye was a temporary or a permanent one.
even so, she wasn’t expecting the KISS that he gave her right before leaving. all of their PARTING kisses had been charged but none had been quite as charged as this one. it wasn’t desperate, there wasn’t anything somber behind it, just LOVE and the feeling prompted her to returning it with just as much emotion.
1. This kind of goes without saying but don't godmod. 2. Mun does not equal muse. Kori and I are two very different people. Similarly, what happens between our muses is not what's going on between the muns. If our muses are dating, I am not committed to you. If our muses are fighting, I am not angry with you. This might sound unnessecary but I've run into some pretty awkward situations with this before and I'd really rather not deal with it again. Please seperate mun and muse. 3. If you want to rp with me, send me a message, send me a meme, throw a random starter my way. I love them and I will actually be so happy if you do. 4. To keep my dashboard clear, I am selective and private. If you use 100x100 icons and small text, you'll be fine. Private means that I won't rp with mutuals. Sometimes though (usually memes), I'll specify whether it's open to mutuals and nonmutuals but that's very rarely. 5. I am open to having exclusives but I do have some rules about this. I won't go exclusive with anyone in the DC Fandom (be it DCAU, DCEU, PN52, N52, Rebirth), anyone else is game. I do ask that I know the mun fairly well ooc. I am currently exclusive with caducxus 6. I won't tolerate any bullying. At all. 7. All icons are made by me. Please don't steal them because I will find out and I will message you about it. 8. Skype and discord are avaliable to mutuals. 9. I'm 18+ so NSFW will happen. Smut will only happen if I'm comfortable with the mun and if it makes sense (i.e. the situation leads up to it). 10. I have a bunch of verses (definitely check out my verses page!) but my default verse will be new 52. Unless we specify that our thread or interaction will be taking place in another verse (or if you're character is exclusive to only the DCAU, DCEU, etc), it will be set in the new 52 one. 11. I will goof up. I will forget that something happened or mention something before the New 52, just tell me nicely and I'll change it. 12. Have fun and stay positive! Good vibes only, friends.
Koriand’r was born on Tamaran,a peaceful planet of former warriors to the ruling king and queen. Her older sister, Komand’r was set to become queen of Tamaran, a fact that both sister’s never really contemplated very much.
Kori was happy on Tamaran. It was a planet full of peace and, seeing as she wasn’t the heir, she had a lot of freedom (Freedom that she definitely took advantage of). She was close to her family, particularly so to her older sister. Life was good on her home planet but then the Citadel, another race of aliens, stuck.
Her once beautiful, peaceful planet was riddled with invaders. Everything changed. Her sister became a figurehead, someone for the Citadel to hide behind. They forced Komand’r into an early position of queen and forced her to exile her little sister but not before the Citadel took advantage of the spare heir and did awful experiments on her.
Upon her banishment, Koriand'r was taken to a war camp called Takron. For the first time in her life, she was full of hatred and anger for what had happened to her but she took that rage, took that fury and chanelled it which manifested in a few extraordinary abilities.
While Kori possessed the gift of flight and energy absorbtion, like all Tamaraneans, her abilities moved beyond the typical capacity of her people. Due to a combination of the experiments and her anger at the situation, she was suddenly able to shoot rays of light from her hands that burned anything she shot them at beyond recognition. She knew that these powers existed but avoided using them since she knew very little about them or how to control them.
Unfortunately, however, her abilities became apparent to the Takronians after an incident. A guard was attempting to give Kori a gift and the encounter went astray. Kori went on defensive and attacked the guard in a very public, loud, and attentive display. She killed the guard and before the blood had time to dry, the commanders had come for her.
The experiments started again but this time, they were worse than before and continued on until slavers came to find her. A former princess sold for a very, very high price, and she was captured. However, she didn’t stay a slave for long.
Knowing that she possessed new capabilities, she broke free and killed the commander of the slaver’s ship. Freeing herself and the other slaves on board. Sometime around then, the ship crash landed and the alien princess found herself on an island within a strange planet called earth.
It didn’t take long for her to get off of the island and start meeting people, the first of which being Dick Grayson. She joined the Titans quickly afterwards and developed a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson.
After the two broke it off, she took some time off and traveled back to the site of the ship crash. It was there that Jason Todd and Roy Harper found her. The three of them joined up to become The Outlaws.
While with the Outlaws, she started a romantic relationship with Roy Harper although they had to break up when duty called for Kori to return to Tamaran. The Citadel had gone too far and her sister needed help.
She spent a few years on Tamaran and returning to her home made her a much happier person. Once her sister was okay, Kori returned to Earth, landing in Key West, where she had to readjust to Earthen customs after a few years away.
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran to the queen and king of the planet. She was their second daughter although Koriand'r was acknowledged as the successor to the throne by the people since her older sister, Komand'r was ailed with an illness that prevented her from being able to fly. The princess was relatively happy until her planet was invaded by enemy aliens and she was sold as a slave by her older sister. She remained in slavery for several years before her ship crashlanded on Earth and she was set free. Soon after that she joined the Teen Titans and devoted herself to protecting this new planet.

“ Human Verse ”
Koriand'r was born in Tamaran, an island off the coast of Spain. She was born into the royal family and was content with her life there until a group of Anti-Royalists, the Citadel, rebelled and took over the Tamaran. Their rebellion quickly spiraled into violence and the young Koriand’r, along with her sister, Komand’r, had to watch as their parents, along with everything they’d ever known, was destroyed. Unknown to Kori, her sister, in tandem with her parent’s advisors, had come up with a plan to get the two princesses out and to a country that had once seemed so far away: America.
Something went wrong though, someone leaked the information, and on their flight to the States, the two princesses were intercepted by the Citadel. They took Komand’r, on account of the fact that she was the royal heir and an important figurehead, but sold Koriand’r to a group of human traffickers, who paid a hefty sum for the princess.
She remained a slave for another rough five years before the hideout she had been stored in was discovered by the UN. It was only then that she was taken to America where she found out about Tamaran’s deteriorating state. The country had become a dictatorship and was holding her older sister hostage, a means of keeping the UN out.
It was what she had to do: Save her country. Taking advice from a close friend, she studied hard and caught up with her curriculum in a solid year and a half. She enrolled in Georgetown and is an international relations major with a minor in history. Right after college, she applied to work with the United Nations and, even though she’s just starting out, wants to eventually free her country and work to put human trafficking to an end.
