Chapter 5

Kory had always had a beautiful dangerous energy about her that he had been drawn to. He still remembers when he had first met her. She had been destroying Jump City, scaring away civilians, and he had never seen anything so beautiful remembers how cautious he had been in removing her handcuffs. When they were gone, she had immediately grabbed him and gave him a passionate kiss. When she was done, she pushed him to the ground. He remembers what it had been that she had said to him.

"If you wish not to be destroyed, you will leave me alone." He had sat on the ground with his hands holding him up. She had just changed his life, because in that moment, with the gravel digging into the heels of his hands, he had fallen in love with that fiery haired siren. For the next four years, she would be the object of his constant attention and affection. Before they had officially gotten together, he tried his damnedest to keep other male Titans away from her. Then when they got together, he wanted to constantly be around her. He wouldn't call himself a jealous man, but she made him an insanely jealous man. They had broke up a couple times, but he would always ask her to take her back. He would see another man flirting with her right in front of him. He would tighten his fist when she would look back at him sadly and answer the man. Before the man would make a move he would ask to speak with her. Their way of speaking had been angry make-up sex. They would end up apologizing to each other the next morning.

He wants to be able to pull her away from Roy. None of his former teammates know how much he so desperately wanted to pull her away from Roy and back in his arms. He wanted that more than anything.

He is broken out of his thoughts when he walks into the Batcave. The Titans are all sitting and waiting for him and Batman. He sits down at the farther end of the conference table leaving the head for Bruce.

"Dude, I want to know what the hell happened." Gar says sounding confused.

"We lost, Jason and Harper. We failed the mission." Dick responds coldly. Rachel looks over at him the irritation clear on her face.

"Maybe if you Bat types didn't like keeping secrets then Cyborg and I could have talked to Kory. She would have listened to us. Then you, Gar and Babs could have easily take care of Roy and Jason."

"Rachel… It's not that easy."

"What Dick?!" She starts to raise her voice getting frustrated with her former leader. "Why are you Batman and Babs so quick to write her off as a bad guy?! Why do you Bat types think her so beyond reason?!"

"Rachel, you know I can't tell you."

"Why are you so determined to keep everything important a secret?! You and Batman! It's like you forget that we are working together in this!"

"You don't know anything, Rachel! So why don't you stop acting like you do!"

"What? I don't know anything? I know how you dominated a whopping four years of her life! I know about how afraid you made her, not by anything you ever did to her but how you made her feel! She told me everything Dick!"

"Rachel…" He is getting irritated. Gar and Vic can both tell that Dick is getting mad. The Bat family is infamous for being slow to anger, but when they are angry they become as terrifying as the night they use. Gar grabs his wife's arm to try and get her to stop but she just shrugs his hand off.

"She was my best friend! She was my sister! You act like we didn't know her to Dick! You act like we don't miss her too Dick! The only difference between us and you Dick is that you were willing to replace her! You tried to replace her with Bat Bitch over there!" She says pointed at Babs who looks offended. With every word she said Dick knuckles were turning whiter and whiter and he clenched his fist harder and harder. "It's almost like we loved her more than you did!"

"Shut the FUCK up!" He yells. "You know that isn't true! You know she was my world! You should know a part of me died when she left, so don't you go around saying that I never loved her! You know that I still love her! You should know that I'll always love her!"

There was silence.

"What do you mean you still love her?" Babs asks in a calm voice although her anger is clear.

"You know what I mean Babs."

"No, I don't Dick. You just said that you love the slut. That you always did and always will. So what does that make me? The rebound girl? The homewrecker?"

"Shut up Babs." He's trying to calm himself

"See, what I am confused about is to why you are all talking about her like she's some saint. She's a whore! We all know she is sleeping with Harper! She probably banged Todd too!"

"SHUT UP BABS!" Dick is getting even angrier.

"Why! It's true! That's what she is! She's a slut! A whore! Yet all of you talk about her she's so pure! She isn't! She's a dirty disease ridden whore!"

"You have NO right to talk about her! You never knew her Babs! You were never on the team! So why the fuck are you ever HERE! No one wants you here Babs! Bruce asked for the Titans, not you! So get the fuck out of here and go cry to your father!" She leaves crying. Dick sits down in his seat with a sigh.

"I didn't want to tell you all this, but Jason came and talked to me yesterday."

"What did he say?" Gar says sheer hope shining through his voice. They all wanted news about Kory.

"He wants us to stop going after them."

"We can't do that as long as they have Kory! She's our family, but we can't just give up on her." Vic says.

"It's not that easy you guys." Dick says trying to keep his tears from flowing.

"Why?" Rachel asks unafraid of letting the tears.

"Because she doesn't remember." Dick says as he lets out a sob.

"Doesn't remember what?" Gar asks. All of them are crying at this point.

"She doesn't remember being a Titan. She doesn't remember us."

Sorry Y'all it took long to update. I have been incredibly uninspired to write lately. I know my BFF got on to some of the reviewers, but that has been frustrating me. I look to the review for inspiration and just telling me to finish it doesn't help at all. I have been sick lately and I am in college. So please be patient with me and I will try to update when I can.
