Chapter 8: Injured

I couldn't feel anything but pain. I looked down and saw the knife inserted in my stomach. I grab the handle. Then I start to fall. " Star!" I hear Robin yell before I faint.

Richards POV:

I saw the blood coming out from the wound. She grabbed the handle. Looked at me then started to fall. "Star!" I yell as I run to Joker. He turns around and I kick him in the head. "Raven, BB take care of him.!" I yell before i jump over the side after Starfire. I grab my grapiling hook and shoot it upwards. It catches on to a pole. I put my arms down and reach toward her. I'm so close. My grapling hook is almost out of line. I grab her and put my arms around her waist. I click the button and we stop in mid-air. I can feel the blood on my hands. I lower us to the ground. I lay her down. I hear footsteps. Behind me I see Batman and Wonder woman. Wonder Woman is trained in first aid. She walks over and inspects Star.

"She needs to get checked. Bring her to the hospital." "Wait she's Starfire, not Kori!" Bruce protests. "We need to bring her to the manor. I'll get Alfred to call our special doctor. WW looked up and nodded. I lifted up Star and brought her to the Batmobile. Batman let Wonder Woman drive, while he Raven and BB took care of The Joker.

In 10 minutes we arrived at the Entrance to the Manor. WW clicked the change button in the car, and the Batmobile changed into a regular black car. We pulled in. Alfred opened the door for us and led us to infirmary. I laid her on the table. 5 minutes later the doctor showed up. Dr. Carter. The doctor i would see treat Bruce whenever he got injured on the job-well Batmans Job- He asked us all to leave. Alfred, Bruce and Diana walked out the door. I stayed sitting. "Come on Richard." "No, i'm staying." "Dick, come on the doctor said-" "I'M STAYING!" I see the Doctor nod. Bruce closes the door behind them. I watch the doctor prepare her for removing the knife. She still hasn't woke up. He takes it out. No more blood comes out. He did it right.

The doctor leaves the room saying that's all he can do I nod. He leaves. I hold Kori's hand. "Please wake up Kor, I need you, I love you." I put my head on the bed, and start to cry. "I love you too." I hear her soft voice. I look up. She's awake and has tears in her eyes. I jump up and hug her. Being careful with her side. "I thought, You -you- Kori!" I say not knowing exactly what i'm saying. "I know, what happened to The Joker?" I look up my face weakened. She was so pale, barely and life left in her. "He's in jail." I see her face brighten a bit. She still looks horrible though. "I truly do love you," She smiles even brighter. "I love you too." The perfect moment. I lean forward. We kiss. Our first kiss. It was perfect. We stop for a break. I look at her. Still as pale as before, but with a little more colour in her cheek. I smile. She smiles.

An hour later Kori was taking a nap. I was trying to stay awake myself. I hear the door open and sit upright. "Okay Dick, you need to sleep." Gar says to me. "No, I wanna-" I was cut short by Raven. "You do! Look we know your worried about her, but the doctor says she'll be fine. You need to sleep." I nod. Before I leave i look at her sleeping soundly. I smile and leave the room.

A couple of hours later I wake up. I'm still in my boxers. I throw on pants and walk to the door. I start to walk through the hall to the infirmary. I stop outside the door. I hear Dr. Carters voice. I stop to listen. "I'm happy to inform you that everything is fine, you may go back to your life anytime you wish." A smile grows on my face. I open the door, Kori looks up at me and forms and smile. If she's fine, why is she still so pale? I walk over and hug her. I smile and nod at Dr. Carter. He leaves the room. My life is perfect-Starting now.

A week later Kori's perfectly back to normal. She's still pale though. Dr. Carter says that could happen-she lost a lot of blood- I wasn't that worried, I knew perfectly that she would be fine at least I hoped so. We started our missions again. I was reluctant to let Kori go at first. Then of course she can control me. We were victorious in every battle so far. No very bad guys, just ones who wanted gold, or lots of money. Nothing to serious. One day, there was a full on battle. A man wanted to own all the money the city has. He broke into the bank at midnight. Armed with two guns. A shotgun, and a pistol. Keeping two knifes in his pocket. He almost shot us all. Thank god that Star got her powers. She and Raven were working together to bring him down. Once he dropped his guns me and BB went on him, giving Star, and Raven a break. BB distectd him by turning into a Cheetah and running towards the man. Right as BB was about to run into him he made a sharp turn-leading the man to turn around the a boot in the face. He dropped his knifes and held his face. He stood up ready to charge us. Somthing hit him in the back. The man fell to the ground. It wasn't Star, it was a Cyborg?

Koris POV:

I look and see the man on the ground, fainted. Another man hit him with a blast of energy like mine.

It was a half man half robot. What where they called? A Cyorg! "Who are you?!" I hear Robin yell. "I'd like to help, after all I am a crazy freakin robot! Got in an accident. They had to do this. Who wants chicken? Oh sorry, I don't eat Tofu!" The man says back. "Victor? Holy crap what happened man? I haven't seen you in forever. How'd you know it was us?" "Easy, you guys stopped coming to school, hanging out, playing mega-monkeys with me!" We all laughed. Victor Stone an old friend was now a Cyborg. He was crazy strong, and had a hyper-beam as a weapon. "Well then, you must come home with us!" I say excitedly. I see him laugh and nod. I look to Robin and he nods too. Knowing that we al miss our old friend.

We get home and decide to watch a movie together. We watch Wicked Scary 4 Revenge Of the Wicked. The whole time I was sitting in Richards lap closing my eyes. He seemed to enjoy it. Once the movie was over, the boys decided to have a get together. Me and Rachel decided that we would to. There were two guest rooms. Each room had two beds and one flat screen T.V. Rachel and I stayed in the one nearest to the bathroom, and kitchen. The boys got the one at the end of the hall. Cyborg (Victors new name) slept on a comfy mattress. The whole night i could hear them laughing and playing video games. I giggled boys would be boys.

In the morning when I woke up I could still hear the video game music playing. I giggled and got out of bed. I walked into the kitchen. I saw Richard pouring himself some coffee. "Morning." He says as I sit down. "Morning." I reply as I yawn. He leans down and kisses me on the forehead. "Want some coffee?" He asks. I nod. He pours me a cup. I drink it slowly. Were quiet. He looks at me and leans in for a kiss, so do I. As fate would have it at that moment the alarm went off.
