WARNING- Ok...well this chapter contains Starfire's past and it's a little graphic. It kind of puts a stress on this story's T rating. You know what I mean for any guests that are reading this. :):) Just letting you know.
ANYWAY Thank you guys for making this my most popular story with 23 reviews! I know the others kind of sucked compared to this one but, Don't Judge! Tomorrow I'm going to Scarowinds and I've been sick (That's why I've been updating so much lately.) So I have makeup work. No updates for tomorrow maybe...I don't know yet.
Well...This chapter goes into Kory's mind to show how much she's been pushing Starfire back. She's yanking her back out again so she needs to prepare mentally. So yeah.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything. Except Paul. On with the story!
Batman pushed the young villain into the police car with Twilight standing at his side yawning while he talked to the police.
Paul, the chief of police, looked at Twilight and asked, "Why is the criminal being picked up here, at the Wayne Manor, and not at the scene of the crime?"
Twilight's throat clogged up and Batman mentally slapped himself for being so careless.
"Well sir," The young prodigy carefully said, "After we defeated him, we turned to pick up our weapons and he ran. Down the street from here is where we found him, bleeding and helpless. So we brought him to the nearest home and called you." She smiled proud of her little speech.
Batman was proud of his young sidekick seeing as how tired she looked. Twilight, and Kory had devious little minds when they tried. Paul nodded and climbed in the car with his deputy. Then they drove off to the Gotham City Jail.
Twilight yawned and shook her head. Batman smirked at her. "Tired Twilight?" He asked mock in his voice.
She glared at him, then her look softened. "I have to tell them tomorrow don't I?"
He nodded all playfulness gone. Then he stiffened and turned around. "Yes. Twilight go now and get some rest. We have a long day tomorrow." She nodded solemn and walked into the mansion behind her for some much needed rest.
The dark knight sighed and turned around to see Tim in costume coming out of the shadows. The young hero growled and hit the wall. His knuckles throbbed but he didn't care. Thoughts ran through his head, 'Why?! Why, would someone hurt a kind girl like Kory?! Why?', 'I'm going to kill Dick. He screwed with her life, screwed her up.', 'Beat his lights out.' Then a hand toughed his shoulder.
He looked into the eyes of his mentor, and father-figure. "Tim go get some sleep. Kory can deal with her own problems. Don't get involved you aren't involved yet. So please, try to say out of it." Tim nodded and they both walked into the mansion.
Kory woke up to someone shaking her and saying her name. Her eyes shot open and she sat up to be face-to-face with Tim.
"Hey Kor. Bruce sent me up here to tell you it's time. They need to know." She sighed and nodded, getting up. Kory wobbled sleepily over to her dresser and yanked out some clothes. She looked around the sleeping bag filled room and noticed it was empty. 'Everyone must be gathered' She thought then looked at Tim.
"Hey Bird-boy scram." She mused the Kory in her taking over pushing a pouting Starfire into the back of her head. Tim snorted then left the room levying Kory to her thoughts.
She changed into a 'This is my Zombie Killing' Tee shirt, Tim had gotten her for April Fools day as a joke. The words didn't really fit her style but it was comfortable. She slid on some blue-jeans and sat down on the chair in the room putting her head in her hands. She needed to gather her thoughts.
In Her Mind
There were three girls standing there in Kory's mind. One had a traditional Tameranian clothes on. The other had a Twilight costume on. The last had on what Kory had on now. Behind all three stood their main emotions. Kory sighed and cracked her neck and looked at Starfire.
"Alright Star. Were going to be seeing YOUR robin today and I don't want you coming out ok?"
"It is the o of k." The other girl said silently letting a few tears go. Twilight stepped up and rolled her eyes.
"Kory don't be so rude. But Starfire she's going to be channeling a lot of locked up emotions today. Your ready right?"
"Yes, please let us do the getting on of it correct?" The other two nodded and faded back to reality.
Kory got up from her chair and walked to the door. She took one last glance at her safe spot and then went on down to the living room to be faced with the biggest challenge yet. Telling the titans her past.
She waled into the room and saw everyone. She sighed and looked at her feet. Closing her eyes and breaking for a moment she looked up again.
Stepping into the middle of the room she said loudly, "Alright, today I need to tell some of you my past. For those of you who already know please leave and Bruce here will brief you with what is happening." She stopped as the entire room filed out. Pretty much the entire league knew or knew of her past just not the details. The titans were left the only ones and she sighed sitting on the couch.
"Ok titans. I need to tell you about my past before I crashed into Earth. Now what you hear here is extremely personal so if you will go and blab it off please leave." As soon as she said this Barbara left the room thinking Nightwing was behind her. But, instead he didn't even give her a sideways glance. He attention was on the beauty in front of him.
Starfire was extremely pleased but, Kory just pushed her back to where she needed to be.
"Ok well that takes care of that, now for my story." Kory said and Raven sat down beside her clutching her hand. Kory breathed in and out then began.
Flashback
A young girl around 10 or 11 was singing and playing with her sibling. She bore the name of Koriand'r, and she was the next in line for the crown of Tameran. She laughed at her younger sibling a boy with red hair like hers and green eyes that also matched his sister's. He bore the name Ryand'r. A dark girl stood by watching them.
Her name was Komand'r she was also a sibling but she was her older sister, and developed a bitter rivalry with her after suffering a disease in birth that robbed her of the ability to harness solar energy to allow her to fly, and by extension, her right to the throne.
This rivalry continued when the siblings were sent for warrior training with the Warlords of Okaara.
Things came to a head during a sparring exercise in which Komand'r attempted to kill her sister. As a result, Komand'r was expelled and she swore vengeance.
They had returned and Komand'r had been bad. She had given information to their planet's biggest enemy The Citadel. They conquered Tamaran, and the surrender conditions included the enslavement of Koriand'r, who was never permitted to return, since that would mean the Citadel would devastate the planet for the treaty. Kory's parents sent Ryand'r away on a distant plant into space never to be seen since.
To Kory's horror, she learned that Komand'r was her master; Koriand'r's older sister made the most of her sibling's slavery with years of horrific servitude, torture and sexual exploitation at the hands of others.
The young princess was raped by those monsters and that concluded in her killing one of her masters. She was sent to execution by the hands of her sister. But on the way they were captured by the Pisons a race of scientists that experiment on people most ending in death.
They experimented on the girls to see how much energy their Tamaranean bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. During the procedure, Komand'r's forces attacked the Psion ship to retrieve her.
While the Psions were distracted, Koriand'r broke free using her starbolts which were a result of the experimentation. She decided to free Komand'r, who was still absorbing energy. However Komand'r hurt her sister and had her restrained for later execution.
Koriand'r escaped by stealing a spacecraft to flee to the nearest planet Earth.
She finished he story with tears in her eyes and looked up to see the shocked faces of her former teammates.
"Kory." Beast Boy whispered. "This was before you met us?" She nodded and sniffled wiping her nose. Beast Boy turned into a kitten and nuzzled her sitting on her legs. Tears dripped from his cat-eyes.
She looked to Cyborg whose mouth was hanging open. "Oh my God Star." He mumbled looking up. "Is it alright if I call you that?" She nodded and hugged him. She handed off Beast Boy to Raven who stroked his back.
"And you were so happy." NIghtwing mumbled and she turned to look at him.
"Yea. I was happy back then. Happy to be alive, with my friends." She said stiffly. "I am now too. Happier, that is." She stood up. "And the ones who bombed the Watchtower were the Gordanians. They want me back." His head shot up like a bullet. Like everyone else's.
"What?" Raven said angrily. "They can't have you!" She growled.
"Raven I have already decided, I-I must go."
Ooh a Cliffy! Alright, I know it's sad and angsty alright! But do you think Raven will really let go of Star that easily? Or Nightwing and Robin for that matter? *Cough* Nightwingstilllovesher *Cough*
