The yellow heads of the Billy Buttons mixed perfectly with the pink Freesias, next to them a vast collection of purple petals; Telstar's, spread across the large flower bed was a mixture of rainbow colours. Captivating the eye with their strong scents and powerful colours.

Kori Anders sighed happily as she stood from her crouched position in her garden, pulling off her thick gardening gloves that would protect her from any thorns that may be hidden. There were many things in life Kori loved but gardening was her passion. And her passion was pretty talented.

She had a way with organising plants and flowers, the best gardening tips around, knowing what plant would look marvellous with another.

Looking around Kori did herself proud and wiped the soil off her bare knees. Her home was quite beautiful, welcoming to anyone. With ivy dancing up the archway that led to her front door, the Willow Curly winding its way through her fencing that separated her home from the streets, Kori's home was Narnia in Jump City.

After giving one last stretch Kori entered her home and took her long red hair out of its messy ponytail and made her way to her large kitchen.

One of the best things about Jump City was its weather, most of the time it was clear skies. It was right on the coast so everyone could enjoy the beach, there was barely any crime rate and if there was a crime it was either a petty theft or aggravating neighbours.

Green eyes sparkled as Kori downed the rest of her glass of water before making her way towards her shower up the stairs. It was about eleven thirty in the morning and Kori had a lunch date with a couple of her girlfriends at one o'clock.

Turning on the shower Kori stripped out of her clothes and stepped into the warm spray. Contemplating Kori wondered why her friend Kole Weather's wanted to see all of them (them meaning her friends.)

She had sounded overly chipper on the phone when she spoke to Kori, and Kori had a feeling it may have something to do with Joey Wilson; Kole's boyfriend of five years.

After drying herself off Kori picked out of her closet a yellow knee length summer dress, which tied together around her neck, showing off some of Kori's cleavage and some sandals that had a plastic white flower on the toe.

Walking out of her room Kori saw her room mate and long time friend Rachel Roth entering hers.

"Morning Rach," Kori greeted.

"Good morning Kori, dressed for Kole's already?" Rachel asked.

Rachel Roth wasn't the most social person around and didn't usually hang around with Kori's friends but with the people from the Black Cauldron (a poetry cafe just by the beach) the two had met through their mutual friend Victor Stone, when both were nineteen. Kori's parents; Myan and Luan Anders had decided to move back to Kori's homeland Tamaran and gave the house to Kori to continue living in. Rachel was new to Jump City and looking for a place to live. Victor already having a roommate and no room to spare asked Kori, and now four years later the two have continued living together.

"Well I didn't think I'd be that quick in the shower," Kori explained, "I might go to the shop, we're running low on milk."

Rachel nodded her head in agreement, "do you mind buying some more herbal tea, I only have two bags left?"

If Rachel loved anything more than poetry it was her herbal tea. Being a health freak Rachel learnt that herbal was much healthier then normal flavoured and coffee, and since the age of fifteen has drunk nothing but herbal tea and water. Sometimes on occasions when she went up into the city to night clubs or bars with Kori she would drink spirits but other then than just water and herbal tea.

Not only was she a health freak but taught yoga to teenagers under the age of eighteen every weekend before going down to the Black Cauldron. She would class teaching yoga as her job but what she's always wanted to do was write her own poetry and to get them published.

But so far she has yet to meet a publisher who was interested in her work.

"Sure, be ready when I get back. We can make an early start to lunch."

TTTT

Dick Grayson hadn't quite gotten use to the warm weather as he suddenly found he was regretting putting on his dark blue jeans and should have opted for his beige khaki shorts. Living in Gotham City since he was nine had taken a toll on him. The days being full of dark, wet skies then to suddenly move to Jump City where it was all sunshine, Dick was still a bit surprised at how opposite these two cities were.

Still Dick still couldn't quite remember why he agreed to take over Wayne Enterprises from Jump City; he guessed it was because he couldn't wait to leave that dreadful city, filled with to many dark memories.

His black sunglasses protected his blue eyes from the harsh rays of sunlight as he wondered the street of Jump wondering where his friends were.

They said to meet him at a cafe just by the beach where they'd be waiting with a couple of other mates.

There! Dick caught sight of a large circle of tables and chairs, in the middle a large hut stood situated as a sort of bar. When they said cafe they could have at least told him it wasn't like a real one meaning it had no walls!

Ignoring his annoyance at how careless his friends were when arranging meeting areas he made his way towards the 'cafe,' and spotted his friends immediately.

Victor Stone and Garfield Logan were Dick's two closest friends. They had known each other since college and have stayed close ever since.

"What's up boys?" Dick asked casually leaning back in his chair.

"Nothing much just wanted to see you for lunch," Victor explained. Victor Stone wasn't a large man in weight but in muscle, he had dark chocolaty skin and was bald, although he insists that he shaves his head his friends all knew secretly that he was just naturally bald.

"Yeah is that a crime Dick? For us, your friends to actually pull you away from your work every once in a while?" Garfield Logan a petite young man with blonde hair and green eyes answered back.

"I wasn't at work today actually, Bruce phoned said I could have the day off as long as I helped organise the guest list for this charity event he's hosting."

"Charity event? Where?" Victor asked intrigued.

"Back in Gotham on the 23rd, you guys can come if you want?" As soon as Dick asked that both of his friends started shaking their heads madly and uttering the word 'no' over and over. "C'mon guys it's not that bad, and at least I won't have to suffer alone."

"How can you 'suffer' if it isn't that bad?" Vic asked leaning forward eyebrow raised.

Dick muttered something under his breath.

"I wouldn't be able to make it anyway, me and Terra are celebrating our six month anniversary then," Gar said with a smile.

Tara Markov was a blonde haired rock climbing instructor who met Gar through the gym eight months ago. After constant pursuing Gar finally scored a date with Tara who insists it was only a pity date, but ever since then the two have been inseparable.

"Six months? I hadn't realised it's been that long," Vic commented.

"Yep, six-blissful-perfect-months," Gar sighed dreamily before snapping out of his gaze when he noticed his friends odd looks.

The lunch continued on for another half hour until Dick mentioned he had to go to the store and buy some more envelopes for (in his words) stupid-wasting-my-fucking-time charity event. And with that the trio separated.

TTTT

Kori hummed to herself as she searched the aisles of the supermarket making sure she didn't need anything else apart from herbal tea bags and a carton of milk, sighing contently Kori made her way towards the magazines and newspapers and decided to see if they had her favourite reading material in. Essential was (in Kori's opinion) a goddess on paper, it was a magazine for women which had articles on the best ways to lose weight, natural home beauty remedies, how to reorganise your home to fit each season and so on. It was a monthly magazine and Kori hoped they had their April issue out already.

Searching through the racks of paper Kori didn't find her magazine but instead something... well someone Kori was hoping she wouldn't run into.

Quickly backtracking Kori hoped he hadn't noticed her, turning around Kori was about to power walk it over to the counter until his voice stopped her. "Hello Kori, long time no see."

I'm sorry for the language but it is rated T and believe it or not 23 year olds DO swear. Kole Weather's is Kole by the way and Joey Wilson is Jericho.

Now it may seem a little boring now but this is just a prologue, I'm sorry if there is too much description but first chapters have never been my strong point.
