Chapter 7: have we met?
Rachel (raven)P.O.V
That girl…she seems so familiar. I have a strong connection to her and I don't even think I've meet her before. And the way she reacted to beast boy putting his arms around me was so unexpected.
The titans and I were being introduced to the rooms we were going to be staying in for a few nights. Robin said this wasn't a vacation that we never are on vacation. Robins so determined to find starfire, our lost sister, and to him…his lost love. Don't get me wrong but we've been searching for her for 4 years and never had a vacation or relaxed for a while. I miss her so much and wish she's was out there somewhere. She somehow is able to block her thoughts from me which means I can't track her if she's out there.
"-and this is your room" the young kid pointed out to me.
"thanks um by any chance whose room is that?"
"koris but she hates people going in her room, so don't say I didn't warn you." The kid turned around leaving me in the hall way.
Maybe if I snuck in there I could find out more about her.
I made my way towards her door when I heard her voice. "This is my room"
She stood there with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows knotted together in fury.
"my mistake"
I headed over to my room and started to unpack my clothes. I stumbled across a picture of me and starfire meditating in my room.
*sigh*
"Oh starfire, where are you?"
"Not in jump but maybe in gotham" nightwing was leaning against the door frame.
"I hope" I sat on my bed and sighed once more.
"We will find her if it's the last thing we do." The determined former boy wonder said as he left the hallway and down the stairs.
Beast boy walk passed my room and shouted "breakfast Rachel!" not even a second later cyborg was running down the hall and down the stairs.
"Typical"
Everyone gathered around the dining room table. Bruce at the head of course and Drina was at the other end of the table. On Bruce's right side was kori, Tim, cyborg. On his left were Richard, Garfield, and then Rachel. Alfred approached the table with trays the size as pizza trays.
"Yum!" Victor's mouth hung open for the whole world to see while his tongue drips with droll. Alfred gave a simple nodded to Bruce and Bruce returned the same nod. "You may eat. Enjoy"
Victor and Garfield were the only two who jump out and attacked the trays. Kori wanted to laugh but restrained herself and rolled her eyes. Rachel noticed koris childish move and glared at her. Everyone had their plates and started eating. The table was quiet….maybe to quiet. The silentness was driving Tim insane! He had so many questions and his answerers where right in front of him.
"You guys known each other for a long time right?" Tim's mouth was full of waffles, so he sounded kinda funny.
Richard smiled wryly "uhh yeah."
Tim swallowed is food and continued with his quiz.
"Do you have someone um I don't know special to all of you guys like a friend or best friend?"Suddenly Tim felt kori kick him underneath the table. Garfield stopped eating because he knew exactly where the conversation was heading toward. He knew his friends wouldn't want to talk about it "Are you wondering what happened to her?" kori was suddenly shocked; she's never seen beast boy so serious in her life.
"errrr…..maybe?"Nervously Tim shrugged. Kori started to feel an uncomfortable surge of anger that rose within her.
"Tim its none of your business!" kori didn't mean to shout at tim with such rage, but unfortunately she caught everyone's attention.
"Are you alright?"This concerned the former boy wonder.
"I'm fine" koris gaze fell to her plate where she started to play with her food. The rest of the table was once again silent. Drina decide she should say something since the quietness was driving her crazy now "she wasn't even important though"
"drina…don't even start" Richard hissed through his teeth.
"Why would you say that about her?" The curiosity was killing Tim. Kori stared deep into Drina's eyes. Koris always wanted to know why and for what reason Drina hated her…this was her chance.
Sarcastically kori asked "yeah I was wondering the same thing? What could you possible not like about that ray of sunshine?"
"Ray of sunshine?"Raven repeated upset.
"You have a problem?"Kori scowled at raven.
"Yeah I do it's your damn attitude" calmly raven dissed kori.
Kori stood up incredibly fast knocking her chair over and pasted her hands on the table with a loud thud.
"I don't have a damn attitude raven!"
The team all stared at each other, scared that someone reveled Rachael's secret identify and know who they all are "raven? How did you know I'm raven?"Kori laughed at their confusion. "I-I a-am-" kori wouldn't stop laughing, she laughed so hard she could barely speak.
"Kori enough" bruce sternly yelled at kori making kori abruptly stop within seconds. "You see koris midnight, batman's other sidekick" Tim told the titans.
Sparks erupted in Drina's eyes as she spoke "Kori Ander's the model is midnight! I'm so jealous!"
"I have to be places" kori left the table leaving everything that happened behind her.
"Wait!"
Kori turned around facing raven. "What do you want now?"
"To understand what the hell's your problem."
"Sorry honey I'm a model so we tended to be a bit bicthy" kori smiled then turned and continue towards the front door.
"You quit, remember? Or maybe you don't cuz your so stuck up?" raven persisted.
"my family sided with the joker an got killed…they left me all alone to fend for myself when I truly need them. So you can say I have problems and I have anger issues but that's who I am. Deal with it"
Raven was speechless; she didn't know what to say other than "oh" while kori felt nothing. Saying she was abandon is her cover up so no one could find out the truth. She was successful this time and headed to the front door.
Kori stepped into her car and banged her head against the searing wheel. She let out a loud sigh and put the keys in the ignition. She was going to the only place where she felt safe. That was the arcade. It might sound strange but once when she was down in the dumps Tim took her to a place named "gamers paradise". Immediately kori feel in love with the place.
"Yay! Ladies get 50 free tokens today! I'm defiantly staying for a long time" kori smiled and ran to the entrance.
Tims P.O.V
"Do you think she's okay?"Raven asked me.
"I hope so….. She's not really a fan of you guys" I clasps my hand over my mouth once the words slipped out.
"Whoa whoa what?" victor dramatically stormed over to me. Kori's going to be piss at me. The rest of the titans gathered around me. I felt so trapped even though I ignited the problem.
"I d-dint s-s-ay anything!" I was being towered over by everyone I felt as if they were going to step on me like a little bug.
"Why does she have problems with us?"Richard demanded from me. I won't give in.
"I mean she's never been a fan of teams like the titans, she likes working with people she can trust."I stood there hoping one of them would spill information about starfire. "Trust? We can be trusted!" Garfield exclaimed toward me.
"I don't know I guess she's not a fan of teams?" I shrugged.
"Um can you drive me someplace?"Tim nervously asked Richard.
"Sure, where you headed to?"
"To the arcade downtown"
"ARCADE? IM SOOO GOING! HE VIC YOU WANNA GO TO AN ARCADE?" Garfield heard from the hallway and rush to his best friend.
"I guess you have company, if that's okay with you?"
"Uh yeah yeah that's cool" Tim rubbed the back of his neck.
"HEY BABE YOU WANNA GO TOO?"
"Sure why not" Rachel set her book down while Garfield lifted her up and ran down stairs with her in his arms in the bridal position.
"So we're all going to the arcade?"Richard asked.
"Yup let's go!" Garfield was now in the car and ready to go.
"Okay let's go."
They arrived at the arcade when they spotted kori.
"Is this why you wanted to come?" Richard nudged Tim.
"Uh kinda but I pretty sure she won't mind I mean she's probably cooled off by now?"Richard nodded and sat down at a table where Rachel followed. Meanwhile Garfield and victor sprinted over to the games.
Kori was playing DDR when she heard Tim. "Hey kori! I invited the guests hope you don't mind, bye!" Kori stopped playing and grabbed him from the shirt and twisted it.
"What?"She growl at him.
"Kori you're being immature you know? At least try to be nice."
"Why should I!" kori released her grasp from Tim's shirt.
"They don't deserve anything from Me." Kori then turned back to her game and proceeded to dance. Tim sighed and retreated to the table where Richard and Rachel were sitting.
"So I'm guessing that didn't go so well?" Rachel responded to Tim's return.
"kinda, but believe it or not she use to be happy and not so mean."
"Before her family was killed? Right?"
"Yeah, her family abandoned her. No trust, no respect, they left her when she needed them. Well that's what they tell me, I don't know what happened in her past." Tim fidgeted with his hands. He never thought this day would come that the titans would be in his presence. He took advantage of it.
"What happened with her?" the two titans looked shocked at Tim sudden question.
"What do you mean?"Richard questioned. He's been dealing with people like this for the past 4 years asking where starfire was. When starfire left Richard felt so hopeless he ordered everyone to search jump city until she was found. The team search for hours but there was no return of their beloved team mate. Richard would search for hours a day he would sometimes not come home until the next day all drained and tried. The team knew that the disappearance of star was huge for all of them, but the one it hit hard the most was their leader robin.
Tim leaned into the table getting irritated. "Starfire, what happened?" Richard copied Tim and leaned in to.
"Why?" the two battled with their eyes. Both glared fiercely at each other. Sadly Tim lost this battle, but little did Richard know Tim had another trick up his sleeve.
"So I'm guessing it's true?"
Confused Rachel stepped in "what's true?"
"That the titans kicked her of the team because they had a new member."
Rachel stood up and yelled "she was my sister! I would never kick her off the team! EVER!" this caught koris attention. Why is she yelling at Tim? Nobody yells at Tim unless it's me or Bruce!
"What's the problem?" kori race over to tim like he was in need of rescuing.
"Nothing kori we were just talking about starfire."
"Why can't you talk about something else other than her!"
"Jealous?"Rachel walked over to kori and stood their stiff and angry.
". . I bet she's happy where she is now. She's glad she left you guys."
"That's IT!" Rachel leaped onto kori as fast as a monkey leaping onto a tree. Kori threw Rachel off her and did a back flip off the ground. A crowd form around the two girls. Rachael was about to strike kori but was withdrawn by an unknown force. A flash back over threw every thought in her mind and focused on the moment where raven and starfire were fighting mumbo jumbo.
"raven stop!"
"why!"
"he has already been punished enough friend! Look at him, he is the most frightened."
"-but"
"he may be the evil raven but he does not deserve cruel punishment when he has already done the surrendering. Please do the letting of him go?"
Raven withdrew her arm from mid air and mumbled "you're not worth my time"
"I never was"
"What is that suppose to mean? I've never meet you."
"Wouldn't want you to." kori narrowed her gaze to Rachel. Somewhere deep underneath koris skin the sadness was arising from all the emotions she's been bottling up. Her eyes began to feel the stinging sensation.
That's when she knew she had to get out of there before she busted but she felt the strange urge to say more.
"I bet that poor girl is out there somewhere happy where she is now. Happy that she realized the truth about you. Happy she gone…"
"How would you know anything about her or me?"Rachel was standing there with her hands on her hips.
Kori turned around and left.
Once she arrived back at the mansion she stormed off into her room and blasted "slipped away" By avril lavigne.
"Someone's a little depressed" Garfield commented once he passed koris room. Victor elbowed him in the chest saying "raven said she's gone through stuff, so don't judge her so soon."
"I'm not judging her, its just she's been a bitch to us all day!"
"Gar."
"What! Don't tell me you don't think she's a bitch?"
Victor nervously scratched his neck. "Not a bitch…. but a brat." gar laughed. "Same thing."
The house was silent a still. Tim was in his room writing down any new information he found out about starfire.
Kori snuck out of her room and tip toed to the roof of the house.
She sat at the edge of the mansion just like she did every other day.
Kori P.O.V
I sat at the edge of the mansion when I heard a foot step of someone else. The unknown presence sent shivers up and down my spine.
"Who's there?"I stood up ready to attack. For all I could know it could be the joker or red hood or any other evil villain.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. It's me Richard." I wasn't relived when I heard who it was. I can't be alone with any of the titans or disaster will hit and burn especially with Richard. Richard was more than a friend to me when I was on the team. He was a best friend.
"What are you doing out here?"
Richard walked over to me and looked out at the sunset.
"Every sunrise and sunset I wait for a sign that starfire is out there somewhere." He stood there waiting for me to ask why but he already knows I'm not a starfire fan so he went ahead and said "I loved her and I could have stopped her from leaving. It's my fault I didn't noticing Drina was evil sooner."
Ten million electric shocks hit me in the heart making it hard to understand what he just said.
"y-y-you l-love m-" I stopped before I finished the "me". I coughed nervously and said
"you loved her?" my legs buckled and I knew I was stuck
"yes….I still do." He didn't remove his gaze from the sunset. It was a beautiful splash of pink and vibrant orange shining in the sky above us.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Never in my life did I think the man I was in love with since the beginning of time loved me back. I started to feel the emotions for him once more but mentally slapped myself out of it. I raced away from him as soon as I could feel my legs again.
"Have we met?"Richard asked….when he turned around to face her she was long gone.
so what did you think? personally i loved this chapter a lot:D what was your favorite part? please R&R!
