Two years have passed since apparently anyone has seen Kythar'a. Everyone claimed that she stayed on her home planet Krita since she left. However, with the help of M'gann some had gone to Krita undercover to visit, keeping that information hidden from Dick.

Mount Justice, 2018
Nightwing, Tigress and Superboy were training the team's newest recruits on the beach. They were taking a momentary break during their training. The wind picked up, fanning Artemis' hair into her face, before a purple galactic wormhole appeared a few meters infront of them. Of course, Brion was getting his fighting stance ready, prepared to melt anyone on sight.

Before any of them could react, a figure was launched out of the wormhole before it shut and disappeared. "Attack!" Brion shouted, almost ready to shoot before Superboy apprehended him. "Ugh." The figure groaned, their face stuck in the sand. "Kythar'a!" Artemis exclaimed, bending down to help her from the sand. She dusted herself off and her face quickly lit up.

"Temi! So good to see you!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around the blonde and crushing her in a hug. Kythar'a didn't notice Nightwing yet, he sorta disappeared to the shore behind some rocks. "Who are these guys?" she asked. "Hi I'm Halo!" a girl spoke, "My name is Forager" the beetle creature said. "And I'm ex-prince Brion of Markovia!" Kythar'a shook their hands in order, "My name's Kythar'a. Nice to meet you." she smiled.

Artemis noticed that Dick disappeared, so she snuck away to find him while Kythar'a talked with the others. Artemis found him sitting behind one of the rocks, throwing small stones into the sea. "What's wrong, Nightwing?" she asked, sitting down next to him. "I just... I can't believe she's back. I thought I moved on with Barbara but when she came back, I don't know..." he sighed.

"Well, maybe just talk to her? I'm sure she'll understand." Artemis asked, patting Dick's shoulder. "I don't know, I can't really bring myself to it." he ran a hand through his hair in a frustrated manner. They heard footsteps behind them and turned around to see Superboy. "Thara said she's leaving for a mission the League assigned her in a few hours, she'll come back with us to Happy Harbor." he said.

Artemis and Dick stood up, before walking back to the rest of the group where Halo and Kythar'a were showing off their abilities. "Why are Kythar'a's ears pointy if Forager may ask? Is Kythar'a not of Earth?" Forager asked. She chuckled, "No, I'm from a planet outside of the Milky Way,  and my ears are pointy because that's just how we look like."

"So you're an elf?" Brion asked. Kythar'a made brief eye contact with Nightwing before looking back at Brion, "No, I'm not an elf." she rolled her eyes. "Okay guys, we should get back to my house." Superboy broke the silence.

When they arrived back, some people were already gathered there. "Hey guys! We brought a guest!" Artemis kicked the front door open. "Sup fu-" Kythar'a got stopped by Nightwing who slapped a hand over her mouth. They shared a look before he walked off. "Kythar'a!" M'gann ran up to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Hi M'gann, really nice to see you again." she smiled. "I baked again!" they both chuckled as M'gann dragged her to the kitchen. Nightwing sat at the dining table before he was approached by Brion and Artemis. "How come you haven't greeted Kythar'a properly yet, Nightwing?" Brion asked. "I uh...-" "It's a long story," Artemis cut in, "Why don't you go mingle with the others while I talk to him?" Dick sent her a grateful smile as Brion nodded and left.

"Thanks Artemis." she smiled back, patting his shoulder, "Go wait outside, I'll tell her to come." and she took off to the kitchen. Dick stood up and walked outside, shutting the door behind him. He stood on the bottom porch, leaning against the railing, "Hello there, Grayson." a feminine voice spoke up. "Hey Kythar'a." she walked over to stand next to him.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" she asked, he quietly nodded. "Uh, can I just break the news to you? I-" "Got a girlfriend, I know." She finished for him. "You're not mad or anything? I would've thought that you would, we kinda ended it on a broken note... did we?" he questioned. Kythar'a only chuckled. "I'm not, I know about everything that's happened so far. I know you're questioning if you really love me even though Barbara's in your life."

she took his hand in hers and made him face her, "If you really loved me, you wouldn't have fallen for Barbara. And that's okay, you deserve all the good in the world Grayson. Barbara can give you all of that while I cannot. You moved on and that's also okay, because it was me who broke it off, so don't think this is on you. From what I've seen you and Barbara are perfect for each other no matter what, okay?"

She looked up to him and smiled, "I was upset, at first, okay I admit to that, but the anger just kinda disappeared, because all of us do stupid mistakes. And now you seem much happier. You know I never really left, right? I still work with the League I just needed time to myself."

She kissed his cheek before walking away, but before she reached the door, she turned around, "Feel the aster, Grayson." And she walked inside. As he watched her walk away, everything she told him felt nice. And he was okay with them just being friends.

He felt at peace.
