Hey you guys! So here is chapter 7. I hope you all enjoy it! It's a little bit off Rob/star fluff :) kind of short but I'm working on making them a little longer!
Chapter 7: Promise me this
It was Saturday, October 26th and the weeks of school were flying by. Halloween was coming up and next month, Roy's cousin, Alain Schwimmer, would be moving in with him and going to Jump City high.
Richard had planned this day for him and Kori since they haven't hung out together in awhile. They were going out to eat then to the park. Maybe even a movie who knows. All that mattered to Richard today was Kori.
"Master Richard, shall I prepare the limo?" Asked Alfred, their butler. Alfred was like family to them and e was a sweet old man with blue eyes and lots of wrinkles. He was always formal and very polite.
"No, can we just take the car or something?"
"Very well. The car will be ready in five minutes."
"Thanks Al." With that, the sincere old man walked out of Richard's room and headed to the garage.
Richard felt his phone vibrate and took it out if his pocket. It was a text from Kori that said: 'Hey! Almost ready?'
He smiled and replied back with: 'you bet. Be there in ten.'
He locked his iPhone and took one last glance in the mirror. He wore a plain black t-shirt with blue jeans and black DC's. His hair was all gelled up to perfection and he swiped his black sunglasses off the dresser. Then he headed out of his room, down the stairs, and out the door.

"Oh my gosh! That was so funny!" Laughed Kori.
Her and Richard were currently at Lucy's creamery eating ice cream and telling stories from the past. He had just brought up the time Vic put a hamster down Gar's pants in 6th grade. Gar had bumped into Jade, who accidentally pushed Roy, who then spilled his blue kool-aid all I've Karen's white t-shirt. You could say she was pissed.
"Remember the black eyes Karen gave him afterwards!?" Richard clutched his stomach as he laughed.
"Hahaha good times.."
Richard took another bite of his cookie dough Ice cream. "So where to after this?"
Kori took a bite of chocolate ice cream and thought for a moment.
"Mmmm. Lets go take a walk on the beach."
Richard thought about all the times him and his friends went to the beach. The time they tried building a sand castle but miserably failed. The time a crab but Wally's butt and left a red mark for three days. And the time they'd simply just sit and watch the sunset. Now, they never went that much. It was all about High school, sports, dances, popularity...
"That sounds like a great idea."

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon and Richard and Kori were sitting in the sand. The wind blew through their hair and it felt good. A bit cold, but it felt somewhat nice. And it brought back memories.
"Hey Rich." Richard looked over to Kori who was staring straight ahead.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think our group will ever split apart?" This time, she looked at Richard, trying to search for any emotion in his sapphire blue eyes. He seemed to notice and put his sunglasses back on. He turned his head to look out At the ocean.
"No, Kor. I don't think that."
"What if we do...I mean-
Richard cut her off by taking her hand in his. She was shocked at first and stared at him. But he just kept looking forward. She smiled and sighed. All was silent for awhile until Richard said, "I promise we won't."
Kori leaned her head on his shoulder and he still held her hand. "You know me and Jason are just friends right?"
Richard's body tended at the sound of his name. It was like pure venom to him. "Yeah...I just...I get a bad vibe from him."
Kori snorted. "I know silly. But it's because you're, and always will be, my best friend."
"Well I hope so." He stood up and she looked up at him. He held out a hand which she gradually took and he hoisted her up.
"C'mon." He said. She looked at him confusingly. "I wanna take you somewhere."
She smiled and nodded her head.

Richard's driver drove him and Kori across Jump city bridge. They drove a few miles over it and took a right. After about fiver minutes of driving, the car came to a stop in front of a giant T. It was five stories high and at the very top, it had three rooms going across. The windows were a faint yellow and the building looked old and abandoned. It sat on a nice sized island and if you were on the very top, you could see all of Jump City.
The two teens got out of the car and Kori's eyes were full of awe. They walked froward but stopped at the gates that enveloped the giant T Tower.
"I've always seen this before but I've never been to it." Said Kori still staring at the enormous building.
"Yeah...it's more of a historical sight. I come here a lot just to think. I've once been inside of it with Bruce. It's really cool."
Kori looked at Richard in amazement. "Can we go inside!?"
"I don't think so...me and Bruce only got to go inside because...well you know Bruce. All business like and stuff."
Kori nodded her head and looked at the concrete slate that was sitting on a small podium. It was information about the tower. Kori read it carefully. Then she looked at Richard again.
"Yeah. It's really old. It was built in 1980. A group of heroes used to live here. Heh, but the group split apart and weren't really seen anymore afterwards."
"Heroes? Like REAL heroes?" Asked Kori.
Richard rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean, I guess. I wasn't born back then Kor."
Kori's mouth formed a small 'ohh' and she looked back at the concrete slate. "Wait...Bruce was! Does he know?"
Richard heaved a sigh and looked back at his driver. The driver was just standing agains the black Mercedes Benz. He was dressed in all black and was more like a bodyguard.
"It's getting late. We should go."
Kori was about to protest but then remembered her curfew was at six. And it was 5:30.
"Okay, yeah. Lets go." She started to walk away and Richard grabbed her hand.
"Hey, Kor. You know I care about you right?"
Kori looked at him skeptically and nodded. "Yes. Is there something wrong Richard?"
"No I just wanted you to know that. And if you ever need anything...I'm here for you."
She smiled at him and hugged him. "Same here. Always."
"Alright...lets get going!" He picked her up and she let out an 'eep.'
"You're crazy!" She laughed as he ran to the car. The driver opened the side door and shook his head while smiling at the two teenagers. Then, they left the giant tower.
