Chapter 7: Believe
"That would be my problem," Kori said pointing at Red X as he came closer.
"Honey what's going on?" Garfield asked walking in and looking at Red X with a gun. He then saw Kori and then looked out the window and saw Kory.
"Why are there two of you?" Garfield asked pointing at Kori.
"Are you going to help or not?" Rachel asked shielding the bullets that came speeding at her and Kori. Garfield morphed into a grizzle bear and lunged at Red X.
"I heard gun shots! Everything ok?" Richard asked running in from the broking doorway. He looked over at Kory and then looked over at Kori who was flying in the air and attacking Red X. (You are all probably wondering why Kori or Starfire, didn't use her power against Red X earlier when she was captured. And you might be wondering why I made a shark attack Richard or Robin. Also if you have any other questions besides those ones ask in your review and I'll answer them in the next chapter, which is devoted to answering questions. I will also be answering other questions form different chapters I never answered. Now back to the story…)
"I'm seeing doubles," Richard said before he fainted.
"Richard wake up," Rachel said splashing water on his face. He sat up and put one of his hands to his head. The other hand was keeping him balanced. Richard looked around and he was laying on the bed in the guest room.
"What happened?" Richard asked tiredly.
"You passed out," Garfield said handing him a glass of water. Everybody else was downstairs including Karen and Victor. Red X was in a holding cell with Kory. Garfield, Victor, and Karen already know the story, but Richard was clueless.
"Was it just me or was I seeing doubles of my wife?" Richard asked after taking a sip of water.
"Sort of," Garfield said taking the glass of water from Richard.
"What are you guys not telling me?" Richard asked looking at Rachel and then at Garfield.
"Well it's a long story… about a six year long story," Rachel said.
"Im confused," Richard said taking back the glass of water.
"Well your wife isn't who you think it is," Garfield said. The water in Richard's mouth went flying across the room and he started coughing.
"Garfield!" Rachel yelled punching him in the arm.
"Sorry," he said rubbing his arm.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Richard asked finally catching his breath.
"Just come with us," Rachel said standing up. Richard stood up and followed them down the stairs. Kori was sitting down on a couch and Kory was tied up and chained to the wall.
"Why is my wife chained to the wall?" Richard asked running over to her not even seeing Kori.
"You think she's me," Kori said turning around to look at Richard.
"Who are you?" Richard asked turning around and looking at Kori.
"I am Starfire. That person you claim as your wife is fake," Kori said standing up.
"Rachel what is she talking about?" Richard asked standing up also.
"Look on the back of your wife's neck," Rachel said pointing to Kory. He went over and looked at her neck, is said Starfyre. He turned back and looked at Rachel.
"Look at the back of her neck now," Rachel said pointing to Kori. He looked on her neck and saw Starfire.
"I don't understand," Richard said looking back at Rachel.
"Oh my god! I'm Starfire! She is not! Red X cloned me and sent her back as me!" Kori yelled pointing to her, then Kory, then Red X.
"I don't believe you!" Richard yelled back at Kori.
"You don't believe me because you don't believe that all this time you were missing me. That I wasn't really with you and that you were with somebody that looked and looked like me. You were so happy to find me you believed anything that looked like me to be me," Kori said looking at Richard.
"I still don't believe you and now my head hurts," Richard said.
"Fine, Rachel do it," Kori said as Richard stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Richard asked backing away from Rachel. She placed her handing on his head and closed her eyes.
"Relax," Rachel said and then Richard saw the images Rachel saw. About 5 minutes later she pulled away.
"Oh my god! Starfire!" Richard yelled and then hugged Kori.
"I'm so sorry I didn't believe you," Richard said with silent tears running down his face.
"It's ok. I've missed you," Kori said now also crying.
"I've missed you too," Richard said pulling away.
"What are we going to do about her?" Kori asked pointing to Kory.
"Oh god! Abby!" Richard yelled and then ran out the destroyed door. He came back holding Abigail and she was crying.
"Sorry I forgot, it's time for her nap," Richard said rocking her back and forth.
"Karen can you take care of Abby?" Rachel asked looking over at Karen.
"Sure," Karen said taking Abby and walking upstairs.
"Alright, so what are we going to do about him?" Garfield asked pointing over to Red X.
"We could send him to jail," Richard said.
"Alright, but what about Kory?" Victor asked.
"We could kill her," Garfield said.
"She's pregnant! We can't just kill her!" Richard yelled at Garfield.
"We could put her in jail and then kill her after she has the baby," Victor suggested. (She's now out cold. She got bored and fell asleep)
"That could work. I don't want her going around pretending to be me," Kori said from the couch. They were now all sitting around the couch that was still there.
"Alright, but what about Abby and the unborn baby?" Richard asked looking up the stair and then at Kory's stomach.
"You're rich. Hire a nanny and live your life," Kori said and stood up, she then started to walk down the hall. Richard stood up and cased after her.
"Kori what's wrong?" Richard asked taking her hand. They turned the corner and were out of site.
"What do you mean?" Kori asked not making eye contact with him.
"Why won't you help me raise them?" Richard asked her.
"It's not my baby to take care of," Kori said still not looking him in the eyes.
"Why don't you come live with me? You don't have to help me raise them if you don't want to," Richard said holding Kori's hand.
"I can take care of myself," Kori said taking her hand from Richard's.
"Why are you acting like this? Please come live with me… I love you," Richard said finally catching Kori's emerald eyes.
"Richard I can't. I just need to live my own life," Kori siad before she walked away from him. The police were now there and an ambulance was parked on the sidewalk.
"Good bye Rachel. I'll keep in touch," Kori said getting into the back of the ambulance.
"Where will you go?" Rachel asked Kori.
"I don't know," Kori said before they shut the door and drove to the hospital. Kori looked out the window and at Richard's face.
Tears were starting to form in his eyes and he had sorrow in his face.
"If I had known that wasn't her… she wouldn't be leaving us and she would still be here," Richard said before walking into an empty house.
