It was a cold autumn evening, the leaves had just started to turn an amber orange and school was put on pause. The sun was a few moments from beginning its plunge downwards, making room for the milky white moon. A cold breeze blew through the air, swirling leaves towards the edges of Gotham. A girl emerged quietly from the cities library, the wind picking up delicate peices of her ruby red hair. She breathed a sigh of relief, clutching a messenger bag to her side. She had finished all her homework for the day, now all she had to do was wait. She stepped down a few stairs and sat down, patiently waiting for her best friend of an uncountable number of years. Her attention was drawn towards an ant, slowly climbing over twigs and leaves, trying to reach its goal; the anthill near the tree.
" Kori!"
She snapped her head towards the sound, smiling as her emerald eyes met the figure running towards her. Dick neared her, a duffel bag hung over his shoulder as his ink black hair curtained his piercing blue eyes. His carefree smile grew larger with each step he took towards her.
" Dick!"
She stood up and raced to meet him, stopping herself when they were inches away from colliding.
"How was your studying, Princess?" He smirked slightly as she giggled at the old and familiar nick name.
" Glorious! How was your training, Birdie?" She taunted playfully, giggling at his grimace.
" Great, I think I could finally beat you" He challenged. She cocked an eyebrow.
" I'd like to see you try."
"Fine, ready set go!" He yelled, running quickly before Kori could register his words.
" That's cheating!" She shouted, laughing as she followed him, running with all her might.
She followed him through the twists and turns of the suburban neighborhood, the path she knew by heart that lead to her house, as Dick always insisted on escorting her home.
Kori was catching up fast, Dick's lightning speed being to slow for the foreign girl's unnatural ability. Much to his dismay, she passed him after only a few seconds, her giggling becoming in controllable.
To further his annoyance, she turned around, quickly switching the movement of her feet, running backwards to see his shocked face.
" It seems your thought was proved to be incorrect." She yelled, turning back around so she was running properly once more. Almost immediately after turning she felt her balance failing as her foot caught on an uneven peice of concrete. Her hands extended as she fell face first towards the ground, landing harshly on the sidewalk.
"Kori?!" Dick yelled, skidding to a stop and dropping to his knees, placing his hands on her back as he tried to asses her injuries. " Oh, God Kori, are you okay?"
" I seem to be relatively unharmed." She choked, turning her head to see Dick's face closer than ever before.
His eyes traced over her tanned face, noticing almost immediately the cut across her delicate pink lips, a small bit of ruby blood tainting their perfection. Her hand went up to her lip and she winced at the contact before grabbing a portion of her sleeve with the intent of removing the redness from her face. Dick's hand moved without his consent as he lowered her hand to the ground.
" No, let me."
His face moved towards her and he lowered his lips to hers, licking the blood away. He looked at her widedned eyes, relief washing over him as her now clean lips twisted into a smile and her arms wrapped around his neck.
" Thank you, Birdie" Kori whispered.
" Anytime, my princess." He replied, grinning as her lips returned to his, a spot that became most comfortable to the both of them.
