A/N: Okay this is my first Teen Titans fanfic where the characters are not Titans. (actually it's my first Teen Titans fanfic since the other one is a crossover). I actually came up with this idea for another story but then I thought that it would work really well with a RoyKoriRichard love triangle (where of course Richard and Kori end up together!). I hope I have everyone's name right but if I don't, feel free to correct me in your reviews.

Speedy…Roy Harper: 25

Starfire…Kori Anders: 24

Robin…Richard Grayson: 25

Raven…Rachel Roth: 24

Beast Boy…Garfield Logan: 23

Cyborg…Victor Stone: 26

Bumblebee…Karen Breecher: 26

Okay in this story, you should know a few things. Gar and Kori knew each other as children because they were both orphaned and lived in the same foster home. Rachel lived with her mom and rich but abusive dad. When he died, Rachel and her mom inherited all his wealth. Richard lives with Batman but he runs Wayne Enterprises and is still Robin.

Disclaimer: I do not own anyone from Teen Titans…I only own Madeline. Yay one person!

Chapter One: The Break-up

The rain was really coming down. A girl could be seen wandering down the alleyway of the apartment buildings. She stumbled along, her tears mixing with the rain. Kori Anders body shook with tears and emotional pain as she grabbed onto the apartment wall for support. But her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

Everything was going wrong. She had lost was she knew to be the most important thing to her.

Flashback…

"Roy…" Kori said slowly.

Roy looked up from the morning paper. "Yes Kor? Anything wrong?"

"Um…well…" She bit her lip and started fidgeting with her fingers nervously. She cleared her throat a couple of times before continuing on. "T-The t-time has come for me to make sure that I am truly in love with you."

Roy folded the paper and put it on the table, his full attention on the woman in front of him. "What are you talking about?"

"Well we have been together for two years now and as you know in my past marriage, I was not truthfully in love. I-I need to make sure I am completely in love with you before we marry."

Roy frowned, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"I-I." Kori sighed, "I want to take some time apart…at least two months." She waited for him to maybe protest that she didn't love him or that this idea was stupid but he merely stood up and to Kori's surprise – smiled.

"Oh is that all you needed to say Kori?" He walked over to her and hugged her close. "I hope you find that you do love me."

Two months passed and in those months Kori found out two things. She did miss Roy – but not as much as she thought she would – therefore she loved him, and that she was…well that she was pregnant.

When she came to find Roy to tell him this, she found him making out in his kitchen with a blond lady.

"Roy…" she whispered, too shocked to do anything but whisper and hold tightly on to the kitchen table to keep herself from fainting.

Roy and the woman broke away. "Kori! Has it been two months already?" He asked surprised.

Kori nodded.

Roy looked really embarrassed and sad but he continued on firmly. "I'm sorry Kori, but I can't be with you anymore. The wedding – it's called off."

"But…why? Why Roy?" She asked, tears running down her face. The blond lady looked like she had never seen Kori before. She glared at Roy, realising that she was not his only girlfriend.

"Maybe I looked like I was supportive of you 'making sure' that you loved me but that was all bull shit!" He turned from sad to angry, "What was I supposed to do? Wait patiently for you to come back? Sorry, but I'm not that kind of guy. So I hooked up with Madeline here." He motioned to the girl. Roy didn't want to have to do this but he was angry that Kori didn't already know she loved him, and thought she needed to 'make sure'. That meant she could have dated and slept with other guys. It wasn't fair for him. He thought he needed to teach her a lesson.

"But-but Roy I am pregnant!" Kori exclaimed, but realising that her efforts were hopeless. "You must marry me and then we shall raise our child together!"

Roy glared at her. "Marry you? Raise 'our' child together? Sorry Kori but that's not going to happen. You already broke us up. You needed to find out if you loved me, but I already knew I loved you."

Kori stared blankly at him. "But the b-baby!"

"I don't know how that happened. How do I know that when we took this time apart you didn't sleep with other guys? Maybe one of them got you pregnant."

"But I would never-"

"I don't want no kid to take care of. Not right now at least. Get an abortion."

Kori broke down crying, but she ran…ran out of the house and from the man that just told her it was over.

End of flashback

Kori had had only one previous relationship before Roy and it had not worked out. She had accepted marriage to the man but it was weak and a year later they divorced when they realised they didn't love each other anymore. Kori desperately didn't want that to happen to her precious relationship with Roy, but it seemed she ruined it. He loved her and by 'making sure she loved him' she had somehow made him think that she didn't love him. Now she loved him more than ever.

Or all along was Roy playing her? She had seen, what was her name…Madeline at Roy's work before. But Madeline seemed like she had never known that Roy was going to be married – she was glaring at Roy when Kori left.

Kori was going to have to get an abortion because she didn't have enough money to raise a child on her own. She and her best friend, Garfield, had barely enough money to pay the rent of their apartment. And because she hadn't married – only been engaged – to Roy, he would not have to pay child support.

Kori felt the stress of the night take the better of her as she fainted into darkness. She vaguely remembered seeing two shadows hovering over her.

When Kori awoke, she was still in her wet clothes but was lying down in her bed. She sat straight up and looked around the room.

"Awake Kor?"

Kori looked over to see her best friend, Rachel. Beside her was Gar. They were looking at Kori anxiously.

Kori tried to smile but instead broke down in tears. Rachel pulled her into a hug as she cried her heart out.

"Tell us the whole story," Gar said gently when Kori had finished crying.

And she did. She told them everything about the night - "It was all my fault that Roy does not wish to love me anymore!" – and Roy's suggestions for her to get an abortion. "So…I will have no choice but to do the abortion." She started crying again.

"Oh my god…" Rachel and Gar looked at each other.

Rachel hugged Kori again. "It's going to be okay."

Gar nodded. "We have a bit saved up. I…I think we can manage to get you an abortion."

"Nonsense," Rachel said, breaking away from Kori. She smiled (a rare sight) at Kori and then at Gar. "I will pay for this. I have more money and it's the least I could do for my best friend."

Gar suddenly hugged Rachel, who looked surprised but hugged him back. "Thank you for helping us out," he mumbled. When Gar pulled back, both were blushing.

Kori smiled, shaking her head at her friends, in spite of her situation.

After the abortion, Kori had no choice but to go back to work at the restaurant she used to work at. For the last two years Roy had supported her and let her live in his house. Now she had nothing except Gar and his small apartment. (A/N: They are NOT dating…she means to stay in)

As she returned home from another hard day at work, she entered the apartment, only to find that no one was home. She threw her coat and bag on the floor. She walked into the kitchen, and found that a note was taped to the refrigerator.

Kori,

Rachel and me went out for a coffee. We should be back at six.

- Gar

Kori smiled at the thought of her two best friends going out but then sadness and depression overwhelmed her as she was reminded of her previous love. She shook her head and forced herself to think of something else.

'I shall eat something', she decided.

She cut a piece of cake and then opened the cutlery drawer to get a fork. As she pulled one out, she spotted a long knife. It was the one her and Gar used for vegetables. She pulled it out and examined it.

'What the heck are you doing?'

But Kori didn't know what she was doing. It was all a dream to her. Her life had been destroyed and she was no longer really living inside. Because really, what did she have to live for anymore? Her true love was gone and a part of her would always feel like it was gone after the abortion.

Her life was ruined…all her hopes and wishes destroyed. But she knew that going back in time; she still would have done what she did. She needed to make sure that she loved Roy.

As she brought the knife closer to her wrist, she decided that the pain would take away her troubles. Just as the knife touched her soft skin, Gar and Rachel walked in laughing – which was especially odd for Rachel since she never laughed. They stopped in their tracks when they saw Kori.

Rachel, Gar and Kori stared at each other.

"K-Kori…" Gar said weakly.

Rachel marched over to Kori and grabbed the knife out of her hand. "What are you doing Kori?"

Kori sank to the floor as tears over took her. "I-I don't know…"

Rachel and Gar looked at each other. They knew what they had to do.

The next night at dinner, everyone was pretty quiet. Kori was still embarrassed and a little ashamed about what had happened the day before.

Gar finally broke the silence. "Ahem…me and Rachel have something to tell you Kori." Kori looked up from her pasta.

"Or rather give you…" Rachel said, trailing away.

"Me and Rachel have seen what you've been through Kori and we think you need help. We think you should get away from this town, go to a new and different city and try and start over…or at least get some fresh starts and then come back."

Kori looked confused. "I do not understand. Are you sending me away?"

"No Kori, not sending you away," Rachel tried to explain, "but helping you. We've arranged for you to join a program for a year where you have a one-on-one talk to someone about your problem and then you're supposed to 'bond' with him or her. It will help you to talk and fix your problems. And meet a new friend."

"But where shall I stay?"

Gar cleared his throat. "We rented you an apartment for three years. One year you go to this program. The next two years are up to you to decide what to do. You can meet new people, find a job…do whatever."

Kori nodded solemnly. She knew her friends were trying to help her. And she was grateful for it. "A-And if I decide to come home before-"

"No, we will not get our money back for the apartment," Rachel explained. "We already payed and there are no refunds." She looked down at her dinner, "We'll welcome you home but it would be better for you to stay for three years."

Kori looked at her friends. She knew that they were right in doing this for her and she did not want to make them disappointed by not excepting their present. But she would miss them so much.

Rachel seemed to understand. "Kori, we want to do this for you. I promise it will help you. After those three years, you can come back and I'm sure you will be changed." She hugged Kori tightly. "We love you."

Kori cried a little, but this time it was because of the great friends she had.

"Oh, what city will I be moving to?" Kori asked when she broke away from her friend.

"Gotham City."

Richard grumbled to himself as he headed up to his room. He could not wait to move into his own house. He was twenty-five! What did Bruce think? That he was still an immature teenager? He could still here Bruce's words in his head:

'I know you have been looking forward to living in your house, Richard, but as your guardian I want you to do something to help the city before moving out, so that I know you have some heart.' He smiled at the boy, as if he was giving him a present. 'Think of it like community service. It'll be fun!'

'Yeah, this is definitely going to be loads of fun,' Richard thought sarcastically.

Because working at a place where you listened to some annoying, selfish person, complain about their problems while expecting you to tell them exactly how to solve them, was going to be so fun. And you were supposed to 'bond' with the person! What kind of crap was that? And for a whole year!

Richard fell onto his bed. 'I am going to have the worst year!' he thought. At least he had one week left to himself. And on the plus side, when he was finished he would get his own mansion…even though it would be really close to Bruce's.

As Kori fell into her bed, she thought about the program she was going to, in a whole different city. She was leaving next week. But would this really change her? Would she really find another love? Or would she come back, completely unchanged and worse than before?

A/N: So what did you think? PLEASE review and tell me what you think of it. I except constructive criticism.
