Hi everyone my name is Rose.

A/N: I will be rewriting all the chapters to fix all my grammar and spelling mistakes. Starting with this chapter first and so on.

I don't own no one from this story they belong to who they belong to.

Summary: Starfire was taken by Slade and was never seen again. Many Years later the Titans visit Bruce for the upcoming formal ball and meet a suspicious character... Kori Alice Wayne. Kori is a nice sweet girl when they meet her. She is not a crime fighter in their eyes. Especially since they are to believe that she hates to see people fight and kill. But once they start to bug into her business. They learn she is not one to mess with.

"Talking!"

'Thoughts or nightmares'

Chapter One: The nightmares.

"Midnight it's time to head back already. There isn't any trouble tonight." The dark knight stated gruffly as he turned to a black hair woman standing next to him.

"Sure thing Bats." Responded the young woman as she turned her back on him. The woman was dressed in a black tank-top, that showed her stomach, with black pants that reached just below her knees. She also wore a pair of black fingerless gloves and a pair of black knee high boots. On her stomach was a large tattoo of an 'S' that stood for Slade.

"Hn let's go." The lady in black nodded and just vanished into thin air. Batman just simply took his motorcycle to the bat-cave since she would never teleport him. He never bother to ask her any way. When the dark knight reached the Batcave, Alfred helped him out of his uniform and proceeded to clean his wounds, while Midnight, on the other hand, was a fast healer. Once she saw that the millionaire was being cleaned up by Alfred, she strolled away into the mansion and changed out of her uniform and into her pajamas. On her way to her bedroom she met up with Bruce. She gave him a hug and a quick goodnight kiss on his cheek.

"Goodnight Kori." Bruce whispered softly.

"Night dad." Kori responded with weak smile. She let go of him and disappeared into the darkness of her bedroom. Kori laid in her bed tossing and turning in fear, as she does every night. The same nightmare she had kept returning over and over each and every painful night. She was haunted by this one nightmare. It was always the same painful memory.

Nightmare in Kori's P.O.V:

"Starfire, my dear. Join me and I'll make you more powerful than you can ever imagine." A man in an orange and black battle suit chuckled darkly. "I can treat you the way you always wanted to be treated, as an equal." He circle me like a shark zoning in on its prey.

"Slade, I can not join you and I never will." I snapped stubbornly as I crossed my arms over my chest and huffed in annoyance. "My friends will rescue me. I know they will."

"How are you so sure, my dear?" He asked as he ambled his way towards me. He roughly grabbed my shoulders and pushed me over to a monitor. On the monitor were my team mates sitting down in the living room in our tower. "Listen to what they have to say princess Koriand'r."

"H-how did y-you know m-my r-real name?" I stuttered as my heart began to race. I felt fear course throughout my body.

"Never mind that, my dear. Watch the screen!" Slade move my head towards the screen. I could hear them talking... about me!

"Starfire is not a strong warrior as she states she is." Robin stated boredly while the others just nodded their heads in agreement.

"I just simply don't like how she is always nice to our villains." Raven monotonously mumbled as she kept her face hidden in her book.

"I got a stronger person to replace her. What do you guys think? Do you want to replace her?" Robin asked. Raven nodded her head not once removing her eyes from her book.

"I say yes!" Beastboy shouted while jumping in the air. I turned away because I didn't want to hear Cyborg's answer at all. His answer would only kill me more. How could they do this to me? The screen flickered off and I turned around, but only to come face to chest with Slade. I took three steps back away from him in fear.

"Now do you see Koriand'r. They hate you. They think you're weak. They don't want you on their team. But I don't hate you. I respect you princess. I believe you're the strongest out of all of them. I want you on my side. What do you say Koriand'r join me?" Slade asked as he held out his hand towards me.

"I will never join you. I rather die than join you!" I screamed in defiance as my hands began to glow a bright neon green. Slade just simply chuckled and shook his head in disappointment.

"Aw well that is to bad. It's not like you had a choice anyway, silly little alien." He chuckled as his Slade-bots grabbed onto me. Their grip was some what stronger than I remember. The bots dragged me onto an experimental table. They strapped me down using a strong metal that was, I believe, from my handcuffs when I first came crashing down to Earth. How did he get his hands on this?

"What are you going to do to me?" I whimpered slightly in fear.

"Well my dear your blood type is special, which means you are more than likely to survive this experiment. If the experiment is a success then you will gain new power, but these powers will be extremely difficult to master and only I have the one thing you will need to contain these new abilities. So in the end you will be my apprentice without me controlling you."

"But like I said Slade I wont join you!"

"Oh you will change your mind after I do this." He signaled one of the Slade-bots to come to him. The bot obeyed his master's command and grabbed an unusual machine with a little tub of black ink. The bot hovered over me and began to rapidly hit my stomach with the needle covered in ink. I didn't scream from the pain because I am use to it. I didn't flinch from pain because then it will only shownI was weak. I didn't cry from what I was being forced into because then it will only show how easy I could be broken. But instead, I just lay there unaffected, which showed I was strong and not willing to give up. "Don't worry, my dear the painful part is soon to come."

"What?" I sputtered out confusedly.

"Bots prepare the serum for Koriand'r." I looked in horror as the Slade-bots bring out ten giant, thick needles with a glowing blue substance leaking out from the tip. My eyes widened when I realized the bots were going to inject me with that chemical. The bots took their positions and stuck all the needles in me at once. Five on each side of my body. Two on my arms, one on my side of my stomach, and two on my legs. I black out from all the pain I was in.

"Help! He's back to get me!" Kori screamed in terror as she woke up from her nightmare. Footsteps could be heard running down the hallway as Bruce and Alfred came bursting through the doors. They both look down to the shaken twenty-one year old woman. Bruce slowly moved towards the shaken young lady and gently wrapped his arms around her.

"Shh Kori it's okay. It was only a nightmare." He cooed as he gently stroked her hair.

"B-b-b-but it seemed so real. D-d-dad promise me he w-w-won't take m-m-me away." She cried into his chest.

"Alfred please start breakfast. Kori and I will join you later." Alfred nodded and walked out of the room.

"B-b-bruce why does my dreams seem so real?"

"Because you believe it's real. That's exactly what he wants. He wants to break you to the point of no return. So he can have you as his apprentice and only you."

"I know father, but he marked me. Remember." Kori lifted her shirt to show her perfectly well toned stomach with a giant 'S' tattooed on it.

"Kori just because he marked you. That doesn't mean you're his." Bruce, or her adoptive father, smiled at her as he stated that. Kori smiled at his kindness and remembered when she haf first met him, Bruce Wayne. He was the only hero that didn't attack or accuse her of being a spy when he spotted the tattoo on her stomach. He was the only one who let her in his house. The only one who actually cared about her. The only one who showed loving and caring emotions to the young lady.

"Thank you. I better get ready for breakfast and training." She stated as she gently pushed the man away from her. Bruce only nodded and left to let her do the things she needed to do. Kori grabbed random clothes from her dresser and ran into the bathroom. She slowly strip and proceeded to take a shower to try and wash away her problems.

With Bruce and Alfred:

"Master Bruce have you told master Kori about your guest that will be coming tomorrow?" Alfred asked as he set the table for breakfast.

"No. I didn't want to face the wrath of an angry Kori." Bruce laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"But you will when she finds out exactly who is coming. By the way is it the whole team or not?"

"Yes it is." Alfred nodded at his response.

"Is master Conner coming to visit you know who?" Alfred asked raising his eyebrow.

"Yes. Of course he's coming. Kori is the one who invited him." Bruce sighed remembering the last time he came over.

Back to Kori:

She finished her shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She walked up to the sink and wiped the fogged stain mirror in front of her. Kori stared at the empty broken shell of the person she used to be.

'You have changed a lot Starfire.' Kori thought as she ran her fingers through her dull black hair, 'You're once beautiful ruby red hair is now black and lifeless. You're emerald green eyes are now hazel. Well that's because Starfire everybody once knew and loved is dead and she is never coming back. Ever.'

Kori frowned when she told herself that her old self was dead. Then again she reminded herself that she even was more dangerous than before. She was much more stronger, faster, better, smarter than her old identity, Starfire. But she was more fragile than ever. She would easily breakdown when she sees Slade or even hears his voice. Kori shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts and slowly dressed herself. She put on a simple black tank top with a pair of black shorts. She put on her black running shoes and headed down to the kitchen. Where she heard Alfred ask Bruce if Conner Kent was coming. Her face automatically brighten up when she heard the name of her best friend. When she heard Bruce say yes and she began to jump up and down in excitement.

"Dad you really mean it? Conner is coming over and you are actually letting him?" Kori asked with excitement as she came running in happily.

"Yes of course Kori, but you have to promise me one thing." Bruce sighed

"And that would be?"

"No wild parties. No getting drunk. No clubs with just you two by yourself. And especially be serious when it comes to crime fighting."

"Yes sir." Kori said as she saluted Bruce.

"Kori stop being silly and eat your breakfast." She nodded and joined Bruce and Alfred at the table and began to eat her breakfast. They were eating peacefully until Kori's phone rang. She answered it and talked for a couple of minutes before hanging up.

"Who was that Kori?" Bruce asked curiously as Alfred stood up and took their plates to the kitchen to wash them. He didn't want to hear their conversation knowing it would end up with them fighting.

"It was Conner. He told me he is on his way with a group of interesting people." Kori responded with a hint of anger.

"Really did he say who?"

"No. Well I better start getting ready to train."

"Kori how long has it been since you left the titans?"

"I was seventeen when I left now I am twenty-one. It's been about four years. Why do you ask?"

"Kori you better not hate me when I tell you this, but the titans are on their way over here." Kori was about to open her mouth to protest but Bruce beat her to it. "No I did not tell them you were here. They are just coming for the ball coming up."

"But that's in two weeks! Why them?! Why not anyone else like Roy or Xavier or even Clark and Louis?!'' She screamed in distressed.

"I'm sorry Kori but they were all unavailable at the moment." He responded softly.

"Sure they were. You probably didn't want to invite Roy cause all he does is hit on me. And Conner likes to kick his ass when he does." Kori muttered angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest an puffed out her cheeks. Bruce just sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Well I'm going to go train." She stood up and quickly left the room leaving him alone to think. Alfred walked in and gave Bruce a confused looked.

"I don't think this was a good time to invite the titans, Master Bruce." Alfred stated in a factly manner.

"I couldn't agree with you more Alfred." The millionaire agreed with a chuckle.

End of chapter

I know this plot line is used a lot but I promise this story will be different. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm stealing anyone ideas. I don't mean too. I just wanted to give this story a try to see how many people will read this.
