I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, the show would not have been discontinued. Starfire and Robin would be together, with drama of course. BB and Raven would be together. And Cyborg….Cyborg would marry the T-Car.
Chapter One
Strange Exchanges
"Blair! I do not see why it is I who should be sent to the States of America! Are you not the one who committed the crime, dear sister?" Kori said questioningly, but with a hint of suspicion in her tone. Blair turned around and placed her hand on either of her sister's shoulders.
"Sister, sister, sister… must I explain again?" Blair replied condescendingly. She patted her sister's head harshly and smiled hugely. Kori look up at her sister with clear disgust and turned her head away from the accused hand. Blair's smile disappeared and she turned and strode towards the other end of the room.
"Kori, you are the one who stole Ms. Glichnarts emerald necklace. You also broke into the town hall and stole important files, which have not yet been found. You don't remember?" Blair said with her back turned to Kori.
"No….no. I don't remember at all." Kori replied in a quiet voice. Hearing this, Blair snapped her head around causing her black locks to whip her in the face. She barely took notice though; she was too busy glaring at her sister. Emerald orbs locked with violet pools as two beautiful, different pair of eyes did silent battle. Finally, Kori looked away, letting her blazing auburn locks cover her face, and Blair said in a growly low voice;
" You do remember. You better remember. You know what I will do if-"
"You need not remind me sister." Kori cut in, looking up fiercely. "I remember." She said looking down again.
"Good. Have nice trip, sister dear." Blair said menacingly, coating as much venom on her words a possible. She then turned and left, leaving a confused and very much disoriented young girl with her thought and lots of packing.

" I'm not gonna say it again! I am NOT switching schools Bruce!" Richard yelled. His uncle Bruce was trying to convince him a new school would be a good change. He had been getting in a lot of trouble at his old school. And it was no joke when they said a lot.
"There is no need to yell, I can hear u perfectly from right here. The only reason I feel you should change schools is because you can have a fresh start. No one knows what has been going on." Bruce calmly stated while looking into the fiery eyes of the dark haired teenager across the room.
"Not many people know about that stuff, ok? I don't need to get a new life. There isn't anything wrong with me in the first place." Richard retorted in a frightfully icy manner.
"Richard, you've been beating up kids at school. You're becoming the class bully. You got called to the principals office for hitting a girl because she asked if you could lend her a pencil." Bruce said just as coldly. "I guess that was a no." Bruce finished, with no amusement in his eyes.
"I'm not going and that's final." Richard said before turning and descending the stairs and heading for the front door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Flight 789, please head to the terminal for boarding" Kori sighed and bent down to pick up her bags. Walking slowly toward her gate, she began thinking what her new life would be like.
"Surely I will not fit it in. I have such a strange accent. But it is not my fault, I was raised in Finland. But, still…." Finally she gave up trying to figure out her fate and handed her ticket to the man behind the check in booth. She heard the unfamiliar zwing of the ticket being processed and was ushered down the aisle. Kori had never flown before and she was terrified. Her luggage! Where was she to put her luggage? She looked around hurriedly trying to see what the other passengers were doing.
"Hey, little lady, need a little help?" Kori swung her head around and looked up with wide eyes.
"Yes, please, if it is not any trouble. It is just, this is my first time on the plane of air and I am not quite sur-" she was cut off by the boy's deep laugh.
"It's fine. It's just one little suitcase. Here." he reached up and clicked open the overhead compartments and slipped Kori's bag into the small space.
"Thank you so much…" she faltered realizing she had no idea what the boy's name was.
"Victor, Victor Stone." He filled in with a smile and put his hand out. Kori just stared at it.
"Oh, sorry. Ya'll a native here?" he said with an apologetic smile.
" Yes, I am just flying out to America because…" her bright smile dimming slightly as she tried to think of a worthy excuse. Victor, sensing her discomfort, cut in.
"I'm going to a boarding school in Newport Beach. Where are you headed?" Kori eyes grow even wider and her mouth formed a small o.
"Newport…Beach? Please friend, what is the name of your school?" she asks eagerly. Victor's looks at her expression and raises his eyebrows.
' I'm going to Newport Coast High School. Why?" Victor replied questioningly. Kori eyes got even larger when she heard the school's name. Kori gasps lightly and open her mouth to say something but the flight attendants chirpy voice rings out over the intercom system.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats and prepare for takeoff. Thank you." Victor turns to Kori and gestures to the seat next to him. Kori returns the gesture with a wide grin and plops down next to him.
"So, you heard of the school then?" Victor asked. Kori smiles lightly and responds,
"You could say I've heard of it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard slowly paced his room, sometimes slowing to roughly throw something into one of the two boxes resting by the doorframe. Richard was angry. He picked up a stray sock and and walked over to the boxes. Looking down he realized he was almost finished packing.
"Man, I still can't believe I have to transfer." Richard muttered and walked over to his desk and grabbed some tape. Turning around to tape the boxes, Richard suddenly halts. Looking back at the desk he slowly runs his hand across the wooden surface and sighs sadly.
"Good old desk, how many times you've let me sleep on you while ditching homework." He reminisces. Finally turning, Richard walks over and tapes up the boxes.
"Sir, have you finished packing yet?" a certain grey haired butler asked.
"Yes Albert, I'm fine." Richard replied coldly without turning around. Richard picked up the used tape and threw it harshly into the thrash can with a loud thud!
"Sir, your plane leaves in 1 hour. Please be out front in 15 minutes, is that alright sir?" Albert asked calmly.
"It's fine, I'll be right down." Richard responded icily. Richard heard the door open and close and the distant tap tap of the butler's shoes clicking down the hall.
"Better get this over with." Richard murmured and stacked the boxes on top of each other and too on last glance at his old room. Finally, he picked up the boxes and slowly treaded down the long hallway, walking towards his fate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow! I can't believe we're goin to the same school." Victor exclaimed. It turned out he and Kori would be attending the same the boarding school. Kori was extremely ecstatic because she had not even gotten there yet, but she had already acquired one friend."
"Oh yes, it is quite joyous friend! I was not excited to attend this Newport High School, bur I am not quite enthused!" Kori gushed. Victor just laughed and shook his head. Just, then Kori let out a huge yawn. Again Victor laughed and handed her a pillow. She looked at it for a moment and then realization dawned on her pretty features.
"Oh no friend Victor, I cannot sleep and leave to be alone. That would be very rude and I-" Victor laughed his deep laugh and once again gestured to the pillow. Sighing, Kori let exhaustion overcome manners, and laid her head on the pillow. Victor smiled and handed her a blanket, she's so much like Carrie. Happy, go-lucky personality. I swear, they would have gotten along great before…he quickly cut off the thought before he could finish. Kori eyes were drooping and Victor could tell how spent she must be. Laying his head back on the seat, he decided right there and then that he was going to watch Kori, watch her as if she were his own sister. With one more glance at the slumbering girl, he, too, fell into a deep sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're going to be late! A certain violet haired girl thought to herself. Looking around tiredly she finally spotted the green haired boy she was searching for.
"Garfield! You're late! AGAIN!" she said angrily. She tapped her foot loudly just to show how pissed she was.
"Rachel, come one! Don't waste your time tapping your foot or we'll be late!" Garfield replied mockingly. He smiled, patted her shoulder, and walked up to girl behind the check in counter.
" Hey beautiful. Wanna check me out?" Garfield said raising his eyebrows. The girl gave a girly giggle and took his ticket.
"Your all checked out, sir." The girl said with a shy smile. Raven watched the entire exchange and felt like puking. She and Garfield had been best friends for what seemed life forever. Ever since second grade when he had rescued her from the class bullies. They had been making fun of her strange hair color and she had stuck up for herself. She hadn't known, but Garfield had been watching her. When the first bully had pushed her to floor, Garfield had jumped forward and punched the bully, then grabbed Rachel's hand and pushed her away.
"Go! Get away!" he had yelled. Rachel had been crying and she shook her head. Garfield leaned forward and pushed her away, leaving him with the three boys.
"Mess with her, you mess with me!" Garfield had growled. Rachel had hid and closed her eyes as she heard the fight raging behind the playground. After the sounds of fist connecting with flesh had stopped, she had looked over. Garfield was lying down and he was making no attempt to get up.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Its all my fault!" she had cried as she crawled over to him. She was suddenly pulled form her thoughts as a spiky, dark hair boy bumped into her.
"Hey! Watch where you're going." She says to the boy's back as he hands the same girl Garfield had flirted with his boarding pass.
"I'm sorry sir, we aren't boarding yet." The boy looks up and gives her a stare so cold she actually looks really alarmed. He turns and walks by her again,
"Maybe you should just look around instead of daydreaming about that guy." He said jabbing his thumb in Garfield's direction, who happened to be flirting with some brunette girl. He then swiftly walks away and sits down on the plastic chairs and whips out his cell and begins jabbering away. She frowns at him for a moment before returning to her thoughts. Where was she?
"Wow…." Garfield had wheezed out. "She talks." He joked. She smiled and leaned down and hugged him. Ever since then, they had been best friends. So, maybe she was a little jealous that Garfield flirted with every girl he saw. But, just because she loved…loved? Rachel thought in amazement. No, she didn't love him. She hated the way his jokes weren't funny, and the way his hair crooked up at that cute angle, and the way he was the only one who could make her smile and;
"Rae! Come on! We're going to miss the flight!" he called to her from across the gate. In his hand was a slip of paper, which was no doubt the girl's number. Sighing, she picked up her bags and sadly walked down the terminal isle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I guess this is it Richard." Bruce said quietly. He held his hand out for a shake and Richard firmly grasped it.
"I guess it is." He responded. Turning, he picked up his suitcase and walked towards the door. Stopping, Richard turned and gave one glance at his former guardian. Bruce Wayne gave him a last, sad smile and waved. Richard, forgetting his anger in a moment of sorrow, raised his hand in one last greeting. They just stared at each other for a moment, hands raised in a lost greeting. Finally, Richard lowered his arm and once again put his guard up. Glowering darkly, he grabs his luggage and hurries through the door. He turns toward the check in desks to check his luggage when he realizes it had already been sent to the school. Smacking his hand to his head, he turns and walks to the escalators. As he slid slowly up the moving stairs, Richard thinks to himself, I'll just show them it doesn't make a difference where they send me. I'm not changing and no one can make me, he challenges no one as he steps of the stairs. Looking at his boarding pass, he sees a large 47 and guesses that is the gate, he looks around until he spots a big 47 and he strides that direction. Seeing the check in desk he walks by a Goth girl with purple hair and just to show them (whoever they are) that he was still the same rude, inconsiderate teen he was a week ago, he roughly hit his shoulder to hers as he walked by. He had chosen her because obviously her boyfriend was off flirting with some chic on the other side of the gate.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" she snidely remarks. I ignore her and hand the girl behind the desk my boarding pass. I can feel her emanating rays of anger.
"I'm sorry sir, we aren't boarding yet." Sighing, I give her my infamous glare and to my amusement, looks utterly frightened. Sighing at her complete incompetence, I turn around and quietly remark,
"Maybe you should just look around instead of daydreaming about that guy." I say harshly, pointing in the boy's direction. She looks surprised and embarrassed and I take this moment to leave. I go and plop down in one of the black plastic chairs. I immediately regret it, they are unbelievably hard. Suddenly I hear my phone vibrate in my pocket and I whip it out with practiced ease.
"Yo Alex, what's up?" he asks the boy on the phone.
"WHA'S UP? Whadda mean "what's up?" you are about to get on a plane and fly to the other side of the USA!" Alex screamed into the phone.
"And?" Richard asked boredly.
"Man, we were totally gonna peg Alexia Montez! Your gonna meiis it man, New York won't be the same without your badass!" he yelled desperately.
"Plase, if you are in the A line at gate 47, please begin boarding. Thank your for flying Southwest and please, have a nice flight." The attendants voice chirped over the intercom system.
"Listen man, I gotta get on the plane. I'll call you later and arrange to have you fly down. We can have as much fun here as we did there." He said breezily as he stood. Collecting his luggage, he walked over to the A line.
"NO! You are not going to get on that plane! Turn around, and come back! I swear I'll hunt you down and kill you if you get on that-" not waiting to hear the end of that sentence, Richard closed the phone and slipped it in his back pocket. He handed his ticket to the attendant and she quickly slid it under the sensor. He could tell she was frightened, so as he went by, he leaned over and whispered,
"See you later sweetie." And patted her back. She grew extremely rigid and he moved on down the gate. Smiling, he looked back and saw her asking if she could take a quick break. Walking on the plane he looked around for a seat. He was actually the second person on the plane so he could sit anywhere he liked. He saw his candidate for plane entertainment. An old woman of about 80 years, an athletic dark boy who looked about 16, the same age as him, and a girl with fiery auburn hair asleep. She was gorgeous and he immediately picked her. It was a large plane, it had come from Germany and was designed to hold at least 400 people. Sighing, he prepared for his dramatic act, and was thankful the boy was asleep. This would be so much easier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kori was running. Running for her life. A man, no, it was a boy, and he was chasing her around and around. She couldn't get away and finally he caught her. His face was hidden and she could only see his spiky black hair.
"Kori, don't you see? You can't escape me. I'm everywhere. I will beat you and you no it." Raising his hand to strike Kori felt her world start to shake. Kori was shaking and she suddenly snapped her eyes open and gasped for the air she had been trying to breathe in her dream. A dream, it was just a dream.
"Hey, are you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay?" Richard asked genuinely. She had been having some nightmare and she had been crying and shaking pretty bad. Wait, are you okay? He should be laughing, or making fun of her, not asking if she's ALRIGHT! But now that her eyes were open, she could see how gorgeous she actually was. She had deeply tanned skin, emerald green eyes, and soft pink lips. Her skin was flawless, she was beau-
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you." She said not looking fine at all. I then remembered why I was talking to her in the first place.
" I was wondering if you could sit with me. You see, I'm a little afraid of heights." He said with a fake laugh of nervousness. She smiles brightly and I am completely caught up in the way her smile illuminated the entire flight.
"Of course, let me just tell my friend-"
"Don't you dare sit with that jerk." A dark voice said from behind me. I turn around and see the same goth and her friend who was leaning over talking to the old woman. Sad.
"Whatever do you mean?" I asked innocently, opening my eyes wide.
"You know exactly what I mean." She said harshly. I sigh and look down at the girl.
"Well, it's up to you sweetheart. You wanna help me out or not?"
