On with the Fic::::::::

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kori stalked down the alleyways of Gothem city, making her way north to the Wayne Mansion. She had finished her patrolling for the night. She was tired and couldn't wait to slip into her bed and fall into a peaceful slumber.

She slipped into the house trying to make no noise as she walked up to her room. "I see you made it back safely, Starfire." Rang the deep voice of the billionaire. She stopped in her tracks.

"I've told never to call me that, Mr. Wayne." Kori spoke in a firm voice as she slightly turned her head over her shoulder.

"And I told you not to call me Mr. Wayne anymore." He gave a chuckle. Kori sighed.

"Whatever. I got to go to bed. I'm tired." She began walking again.

"Kori one more thing." She stopped again, giving him her attention. "Meet me in the lair at 6 am tomorrow morning. I have a mission for you."

"Fine." She once again walked off to her room. When she finally was able to walk into her room, she stripped off her uniform and silently put on some loose flannel black pants and a white tank top, she climbed into her bed and shut the light. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of mission Bruce wanted to send her on.

'It must be urgent if he wanted me to wake up so early. He's probably making me leave tomorrow.' She sighed as she fell asleep only to have one of her worst memories replay in her mind.

Kori was walking into Titans Tower after a little walk around 9 o'clock. She returned 30 minutes earlier than she normally did. She just didn't feel up to it today. She was about to walk into the living room when she overheard Robin and Cyborg talking.

'Man, you can't just kick her off the team just because she's been lacking a little lately' Cyborg reasoned.

'I can considering I'm the leader of this team. Look Cyborg, Starfire hasn't been doing the best she can lately and if she doesn't shape up soon I will have to. And I never said in the first place that I was going to kick her off! I said I'd give her a little…away time. ' Robin shot back at him.

'C'mon Robin, you know she isn't lacking! She's just been a little tired lately. It's perfectly normal since the crime rate's gone up the past few weeks! We've been fightin' an average of 7 villains a day!"

'we've all been tired, but we still have to push ourselves! And it doesn't help she's always was the weakest!'

'you know that's not true!' Cyborg scowled.

'and you know it IS true!' every time we send her out to patrol, she can NEVER defeat a villain by herself! Not even Beast Boy has a problem patrolling!'

'come on Robin, you know she works hard, and she loves this team.' She heard Cyborg whisper something to Robin that she couldn't hear.

At this point Starfire had heard enough. She quietly slipped into her room and packed all her normal clothes, leaving all her old purple uniform behind, all but one pair. She took off her uniform and put a pair of bleached light jeans that had a hole on both knees and a black 2 row studded belt. She also pulled on a racer back white tank top that ended a little above her belly button. She then pulled on a short-sleeved black zip up sweater leaving it unzipped and put on her brand new converse.

She looked in the mirror at her reflection. She looked like a normal person. She let her eyebrows grow until they looked like a normal human's did. The only reason she shaved them was because it was a custom for Tameranian ((sp?)) warriors. They had a full arch now and that alone have made her look like the 16 years old 'adult' she was.

Her features had also matured somewhat but still held that little bit of innocence in it. Her crimson red hair had also grown out too. It almost reached the end of her butt. Her bangs also had grown out and just about reached her cheekbones. She had a full, pouty, pale pink lip that only enhanced her beauty. She used to have a golden tan but the winter had paled it only a little. She grabbed some eyeliner she had bought at the mall and applied it to the inside of her lid before stuffing it in her duffel bag and was about to walk out the door when a picture caught her eye. It was a picture of the whole team one year ago. They all looked so happy. Beast boy had wrapped her arm around Raven's shoulder causing a rosy pink blush on her cheeks. Starfire herself was hugging Robin that also seemed to blush and Cyborg was pumping his fist in the air. She could just imagine him shouting his infamous "BOO YAH!"

Hot tears collected in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. 'From this point on I will no longer be weak. I'm going to get stronger and prove to them I'm better that that.' She whispered to herself. She threw it on the floor watching as all the pieces shatter into hundreds of pieces. She looked at her room. She packed only the essentials she needed. Kori left the smallest, simplest note she could.

Titans,

I'm no longer in need of this team. And obviously the team is no longer in need of me.

I'm leaving.

Good-bye, and good luck.

Starfire.

She silently snuck out of the tower and into the streets of jump city. She walked into town and called a taxi. When the taxi arrived, she hoped in and told him to take her to the nearest town out of jump City.

Three Hours later, Kori was wandering aimlessly in an alleyway, hoping to bring her to the center of town where she could find a hotel. She was suddenly grabbed from behind and shoved into the brick wall as he took her hands and held them behind her back. "Hey cutie, hows about we have some fun?" he whispered in her ear. Kori couldn't help but to cringe at the slimy sound of his voice.

"How about you back off!" She yelled before popping her leg up, hitting his groin. He released her as her fell to the ground holding his crotch. "YOU BITCH!" He recovered quickly and pulled out a switchblade. "Now your gonna get it" he smirked as a dark cloaked figure appeared behind him.

"No, I think you are." The figure said before hitting a pressure point on the attackers neck. The said man fell to the ground unconscious.

"Are you alright?" The man asked, taking a step forward.

"Yeah. I'm alright." She sighed and picked up her fallen bag. She was about to walk away before she realized she didn't know where the hell she was don't know where I'm going." She smiled shyly while scratching going. "Do you know where the next hotel is? I'm kinda new to this place and kind of don't know where I'm going." She smiled shyly while scratching the back of her neck. He looked at her a moment.

"How about you stay with me," The next word out of his mouth surprised her. "Starfire."

She was shocked. She blinked a few times before sighing heavily. "I guess I don't have much of a good disguises, huh Batman?"

"Not really." Starfire had meet batman a time or two due to a few via satellite conversations he had with Robin and occasionally the whole team.

"Than I guess I have to take you up on that offer."

"I guess you do. Come with me." He led her to the bat mobile and drove her to a huge mansion. She gaped.

"You live here?!" She exasperated. He just nodded.

"After all, I am Bruce Wayne." He said. She went wide-eyed.

"Your Bruce Wayne?!!!" He nodded again. That night he explained things to her and allowed her to stay in his home. Under three conditions of course. You wouldn't let just anymore stay at your house, would you?

One: She told NO one.

Two: She had to improve her powers so she had COMPLETE and TOTAL control over them and even bend them to her will.

Three: She was to learn every single form of martial arts known to mankind in three years.

x.Xenddream/memoryX.x

Almost three and a half years later, she did. For the first two years she trained for 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the help of Bruce and the top Martial Arts expert in the world, Kori was able to do so. One months time before the end of her third year, She had learned every Martial Art technique, all but one. To this day she is still working on it. Bruce had decided to let her stay considering her himself had yet to perfect this one skill.

Kori had awoke to her alarm at 5 o'clock in the morning. 'Damn Bruce. I only got 4 hours of sleep!' She dragged herself out of bed and into her bathroom. In 30 minutes, she had taken a shower and blow dried her hair and put on her usual make-up of eyeliner alone. She was now looking at herself in the mirror. Most of her was the same as when she was 16, but her cheekbones where higher and her eyes had narrowed out a little. She looked a lot more like her sister, Blackfire, now. Kori had kept her hair long but down to her mid back. She had Layers and one bang covered her left eye.

She left the bathroom and into her walk in closet. She pulled on a pair of fitting dark blue jeans, and black racer back tank top that showed her mid-driff. She then pulled on a black jacket and her usual converse before she walked out of her room, down the hallway and down the grand stairs. Kori walked through the dinning hall and into the kitchen to grab an apple out of the fridge along with the orange juice carton to pour herself a drink.

By the time Kori had finished her makeshift breakfast, it was 5:52. She decided to head down to the Bat Cave/Lair. She walked in front of the bookcase in his study and pulled out the brown leather book slightly sticking out over the rest. She watched as the bookcase moved itself to reveal a steel door with a code pad by the door handle. She punched in her code and a microphone came out of a small socket in the wall. The normal procedure.

"Kori Anders" She spoke into the mic. The door clicked open and she pulled it open all the way before walking down the dark stairs to the bat cave. The bookcase moved back into black again and locked automatically.

"Ah, Kori. You made it." Bruce spoke as she reached the end of the flight of stairs.

"Good morning to you too, Bruce." Kori replied sarcastically. Bruce shot her a warning glance and she let out a sigh. "What mission is so important that you have to wake me up this early." Bruce paused a second before speaking.

"I need you to go to jump city, and take down Slade."

The words 'jump city' rang in her ears.
