Hello, back with chapter 2! So this is in the future, and going to shift from the Titans to Starfire a few times, who really knows. Ok I'm rambling, on with the story!
Past Mistake
Chapter 2.
*6 years later…*
When you first walk into the room, you would see dark purple walls and a creamed color carpet. Walking in more you would see a silver vanity, with a mirror on top of it and a full length mirror next to it on the right side of the room. On top of the vanity was a jewelry box, make-up, perfume, and hair essentials such as a brush, hair ties and head bands.
Near the right corner at the end of the room, was a huge bed, shaped like a star, with three walk-up stairs. Around it was a light purple canopy, covering the girl sleeping in it. It had a dark silk, purple comforter, and white sheets. On the wall on each side of the bed was a collage of photos. To the right were paintings, sketches, and professional pictures. And to the left were photos of a girl and her friends, family, and the things she liked.
At the left corner of the room was a white closet, with gold bordering. Then, in the middle of the wall was a desk. On top were a laptop, picture frames and an ornate vase filled with fresh roses.
In her room on the back walls were double doors, with pale purple curtains, that led out to a balcony, overlooking the gardens of the mansion. And next to her desk was a white door leading into her bathroom. With sea foam green walls, a big white jet tub (big enough for a six year old to swim in!), and white/gray marble sink.
But the thing that stood out the most when you walked in was a section in the wall that was spaced out from the things the girl seemed to like most. It was a section of news papers cut out, pictures, and drawings. But what would surprise you, especially if you knew the girl's past; it was all about the teen titans.
The bright light of the early morning shone through a young girl's room, specifically right on the girl's eyes, waking her up. Stretching and yawning, she got out of bed to get ready for the day. She went to wardrobe and picked out one of her favorite outfits. A maroon tank-top with a grey camisole, black jeans, and knee-length heeled gray boots, then brought in with her to her bathroom. She turned the shower on hot and got in.
When she got out she changed and went to her vanity to brush her strawberry blonde hair and do her make-up, a lighter maroon eye shadow, black liquid eyeliner, black mascara, and cherry colored lip gloss. (Small A/N: I know I'm not really giving much detail o telling you who this girl is, although I think we all know who it is, but this is just the opening. Just in case anybody was like 'What the heck?' Ok on with the story.) She tied it up her hair afterwards and was about to go down for breakfast, when a picture caught her eye. She went to look at it, and saw that it was a picture of the famous Teen Titans from six years ago. A lot has changed in those six years, she sighed, a lot.
"Hey Kori, come on time for breakfast!" A shout from outside her door called. She took one last look at the picture before she walked out of her room.
She descended the grand staircase of the beautiful mansion. She was sort of depressed, six years ago today, was the day she came to live in the mansion. Six years ago today she also had her heart ripped out.
"Morning Kor," She looked up to see a young face at the dining table. Alfred brought him his usual chocolate chip pancakes with syrup and whip cream. The boy's eyes widened with his mouth hanging open and started to drool, about ready to devour his breakfast. She laughed at his expression, always the same.
"Good morning Star," A deeper, older voice said from the front of the table. She looked to said voice and smiled.
Flashback:
"Glorious," Starfire said as she and Batman, now Bruce Wayne, walked through the front doors of the manor. She took it all in, Robin used to live here? Why didn't he tell her it was this beautiful? She heard a small chuckle from behind her; she turned and saw Bruce watching her.
"Yes, it is. Now, should I show you to your room? You can get settled in and then Alfred and I will show you around, better get to know your temporary home." He said as he ushered Alfred to take her things.
"Ah, yes, thank you ever so much for hospitality Bruce." She said with a smile. He smiled back, he had to get used to her not understanding the English language fully.
She followed Bruce and walked into her room, and somehow she thought he was expecting her. The room was already set up… but how? She heard him close the door behind her and sighed. This would take a while to get used to. She looked in the vanity and saw her reflection. She shook her head; the Titans would probably be looking for her shortly and easily be able to recognize her. She had to change. She took her suitcase and put it on the bed, starting to unpack.
When she was done she saw some of her 'normal human' clothes and changed into them. A white tank-top with a pink hoodie over it, with ripped up jeans and black converse sneakers, she had pink rose earrings and thought it would be nice to accessorize so put those on, and then put her hair in a bun. She looked at the star shaped clock on her night side table, 8:27. Perfect, the mall would be open soon and she could go shopping for the thing she needs for her new look. She walked out of her room to see Bruce waiting for her.
"Ah Starfire, are you ready… Why did you change your clothes?" He looked at her confused.
"If it is ok with you, I would like to go shopping before I get 'settled in'." She said giving him a small, pleading smile.
"I don't see why not. But whatever for?" He asked, but thinking he knew the answer already.
"I would like to change my look. If the Titans do pr- come after me, they'll have a hard time. Because I'm no longer Starfire, please call me Kori Anders from now on." She said with her head held high. "That is how earth people speak, yes?" She asked hoping she got it right.
"Yes, that was perfect, Kori." He reassured her, and she smiled gratefully.
That night, or morning, Bruce took her shopping, and she got a whole new look. Something her old team would never suspect.
That night she got a lot of black clothing, not all but most. She went to the salon and got blonde hair dye. When she got home she put her clothes away ad went to the bathroom. When she came out she had shoulder length, strawberry blonde hair. Instead of having her whole eye green, she just made her conjunctiva (the whites of your eyes) that way. So she really looked like a human. She wore a dark purple halter top, with black skinny jeans, and black high heel pumps, ready for a brand new day and a brand new life. She felt different, but great… and kind of hot.
End of Flashback
"Good morning Bruce, sleep well?" She asked as she came to sit next to him. In the six years she was just staying until she got on her feet, turned out to be her staying for the whole time. In fact she became the new Batgirl, and they got a new Robin. Bruce treated her like his daughter and she loved him like her own father, they had a special relationship that most people didn't get, the only ones who did were the ones in the household themselves. They were quite an odd bunch.
"Yes I did, thank you. So what are you two doing this morning?" He asked as he took a sip of tea.
"I don't know, maybe work on my art, hang out with Sierra, or work out, who knows." Kori answered as she started spreading butter on her toast. After Kori moved in with Bruce, she went to a few classes, just to learn more about the life of humans, having Bruce telling her teachers know what and who she was. And in that time she met a few people, one who stood out the most was a girl named Sierra. She had dirty blonde hair and violet eyes; she was fun and perky, not into what the latest trend was or who the hottest guy is. She was an individual and not part of the 'popular crowd'. That's why she and Kori became best friends fast, they were different and stood out and they were completely fine with that.
"Hey Kori, I'm working out after breakfast. Want to join me?" Tommy asked, eyeballing his blueberry muffin.
"Sure Tommy, karate or combat practice?" She asked smiling at him. They had also grown a relationship also. Ever since Bruce adopted him, when he was five, they grew up together like brother and sister. Sure, they pulled pranks and teased one another, but they adored each other as soon as they met.
"Combat practice, definitely." He said almost immediately, which made her confused, like he knew something she didn't.
"Kori, before combat practice, I would like to speak with you in my office." Bruce said as he got up to leave the table.
"Ok Bruce," She said as she stood up to leave after him. After they left, Tommy whispered to Alfred.
"Hey, how do you think she's going to take it?" He questioned getting up to go change.
"I don't know, sir, but I suppose not well." Alfred answered honestly.
"So Kori, I have… news," Bruce said thinking of the right words. He sat in his chair, Kori standing in front of him, confused. "We have some guest staying with us for a while. They're coming over later for dinner." He said not looking at her.
"Ok… who are they?" She was getting a little worried. Why wasn't he looking at her? Why was he so tense? Normally when they talked they both were relaxed and calm but now… was just scary. Who could ever be so bad other than-
"The Titans." He answered looking into her eyes.
"WHAT?!" Was heard throughout the whole house and probably from down their street.
Ok so chapter 2! A few things, I have know idea about the whole Batman and Robin thing so if I get something wrong, I have no idea what I'm saying! I either made it up or got 'information' from other stories like this. So if I'm wrong or something leave a comment and I'll either fix it or cut it out of the story some how. And I wanted Kori, a.k.a. Starfire, to have a relationship with the mansion, like it's her real family, like she's been there her whole life sort of thing. And finally a new Robin, Tommy, I mentioned the relationship between him and Starfire, I thought about it, but then one flashback per chapter maybe? If you want a flashback between how they met, leave a comment and I'll put it in somehow. I think that's about it… So read and review please!
