Hey guys! Really sorry but this is a short chappie, and none of you guessed who was gonna be in my chapter! Now don't sue me for what I make happen, it's a fan FICTION and I wanted him in here. I may have a slight…obsession…not as much as Nightwing or Robin but… anyways thanks for all the great reviews, and I'm not sure if they show up or not, but I put these little star things between jumps in paragraphs like,
Then I went to sleep
I woke up, my eyes fluttering open.
And normally there are 3 little star things in between the sentences, but somehow they don't show up here. :(
Anyways
I don't own Teen Titans or this new character!
Chapter 8
I pulled back as though I had been bitten. Only I had heard him, only I had heard him mutter that one word that made my heart skip a beat, and then I fell into darkness.
I fluttered my eyes open, blinking at the sudden change of light. It was black, like the night, and I was lying in a bed, a single and covered with crisp white sheets. Something was beeping continuously in a faint rhythm.
I felt panic reach its bony claws around my mind and my eyes darted around the room, looking for something, someone, anything!
A single tear spilled down my cheek and I lifted my hand to my eye to wipe it away, then I realized I was in a hospital room.
I looked around once more, noticing the machine that was measuring my pulse rate and the curtain that surrounded half my bed.
"Don't move Kori, doctor's orders not to"
I looked around and watched as someone emerged from the shadows. At first I panicked and then I realized that this person had a different voice, and it was wearing normal clothes.
This person came into view, standing in the moonlight that the wide open window provided and I gasped.
He had short dark auburn hair that was spiked and dark emerald eyes that glittered.
"Ryand'r!" I gasped, bringing my hand to my mouth.
I jumped from the bed, and grasped him in a tight hug, holding him close and crying into his shoulder.
"Kori, Shh, calm down, its ok, I'm here" his voice was soothing, calm and I cried harder.
"Ryan, you do not know how glad I am you are here!" I sobbed, bringing my head up to face Ryand'rs.
Ryand'r was my younger brother, and had lived with my sister, nanny and myself on Tamaran but he left after my parents died. He had promised me he would come back, and I have always awaited the day, and now its here.
"Kori, I would rather have been by your side than anywhere else" he murmured, hugging me to him.
Ryan was taller then I was now, more powerfully built. I was twenty one and he was now nineteen, if I remember correctly.
"Ryan you have grown so much!" I exclaimed, examining him closely.
He blushed under my gaze.
"How did you find me?" I asked him, leading him to the hospital bed.
"I didn't really, I've been searching for you for a while, and it just happened to be here that I was looking, so when I saw you on those big boards above buildings, I knew you were here. I noticed a crowd was gathering around something and I went to investigate, and then I saw you, with an ebony haired male and a pale skinned female. I watched as you and he argued, and then he whispered something to you, and you fainted. He grabbed you before you could fall and the female called an ambulance and someone else, for a short while later, a male with forest green hair and two dark skinned people, one male and female showed up, and they all started arguing with the ebony haired male, then the ambulance arrived and I caught that they were taking you to Jump North Emergency, which is here" he finished, looking at me.
"Richard, he knows who I am, who I really am, the ebony haired male that caught me, he knows! And I did not tell him!" I started getting flustered, panic setting in.
"Kori, shh calm down, its fine. If he turns out to be an enemy, then we'll kill him"
I looked up at Ryan, studying his face. Never had I heard my brother speak so simply about death. He had hated it, found it appalling, and now he says he could murder him? Wait, we…did he mean himself and I?
"What do you mean 'we'?" I asked, gazing at him intently.
Ryan ran his hand through his hair nervously, his gaze shifty,
"Well, I uh…"
"Ryan there's something you're not telling me" I said softly, searching his face, his features.
"Well, when I left I…"
"Ryan tell me" I urged quietly, but forcefully.
"Ryan, I command you to tell me!" I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest.
"I don't have to, just because you're the rightful ruler doesn't mean you can order me around" he snapped, crossing his arms over his chest as well.
"No, but I am your sister, and I want to make sure you're alright!" I growled, irritated that he would not come out and say whatever it was that needed to be said.
"Fine" he muttered, backing down.
"Thank you Ryan" I murmured, seating myself back down on the bed.
He didn't, however, and started pacing, his hands clasped behind his back.
"When I left after our parents death, I was alone and afraid. I didn't know where to go, and I was afraid to go back, as it would have shown cowardice and shame. So I wandered the plains of Tamaran, living of what I could find. Then, as I was skinny and half dead I was found by Rocin'r, leader of the Raider's."
I listened, wide eyed and shocked. Ryand'r, my little brother, a Raider? One of the most feared gangs around our solar system?
"He died last year, I took his place, as he wished" Ryan finished, looking up at me for the first time.
"Ryan I am so proud of you!" I exclaimed, jumping from the bed and leaping into his arms.
This was obviously not the response Ryan had been expecting because he didn't respond, just stood there like a mannequin.
"Uh, you're proud of me?" he stammered, glancing at me nervously.
"Ryan, how could I not be? You have accomplished something many can not have, you survive din the wilderness by yourself of such a young age, then you were accepted by the Raiders, and now you are their leader? Ryan, you could not have made me prouder!"
I clung to him as he hugged me back, crying silently
"Ryan, whats wrong? Are you not happy?" I asked, worried and concerned,
"Kori, all I have ever wanted was for you to be proud of me" he whispered hoarsely.
"Ryan, I have always and always will be proud of you" I said softly, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Then you shall be glad to know that I am soon to be married"
I gasped and started crying also,
"Ryan that is wonderful! Who is she, when did you meet her? Does she know who you really are? Please let me host the wedding!" I exclaimed, all in one breath.
Ryan laughed happily,
"Her name is Enara'r and she is Rocin'r's only daughter. She is the same age as me, and she was with him when they found me. We have been best friends for a few years now and…well you get where I'm going" he blushed and I laughed loudly.
"Kori, you don't know how much I have waited for this moment!" exclaimed Ryan, picking me up and spinning me in a circle.
I laughed wildly, then the door to my room was flung open and in stepped Richard.
"Get away from her" he growled at Ryan and Ryan looked quite shocked.
"Excuse me?" he asked, and I stepped in front of him, facing Richard.
"Richard, go away, you've caused enough trouble in my life already!" I hissed, glaring at him.
Richard ignored me, and stepped forward, pointing at Ryan,
"You get away from her!" He growled, grabbing me arm.
"Richard let go!" I protested, struggling against him.
Then Ryan stepped in, and grabbed Richard arm, and with one quick move threw him off me.
"Don't you dare touch Kori, ever again" Hissed Ryan, and I saw his eyes getting that familiar green tinge.
"Why should I listen to you?" snapped Richard, flexing his arm.
"You don't have to, I'm warning you" growled Ryan, pushing me behind him.
"Well you have no idea who you're dealing with!" snapped Richard, and lunged forward, his fist aiming for Ryan's nose.
I watched in horror as the fight began. Richard aimed his punch and Ryan side stepped it, grabbed Richard's fist, and pushed him back.
Richard would not stand a chance, even if he was Nightwing; Tamaranians have the strength of more than twenty human men, including myself! I watched Richard was flung into the wall, hitting his bad arm hard. I watched his wince, and my heart started aching, and I watched as Ryan advanced on him,
"Don't make me hurt you" he hissed, glaring at Richard.
"I wont" muttered Richard, and he launched himself from the ground, catching a sharp kick into Ryan's stomach.
Ryan stumbled back, growled and leapt at Richard, hitting his chin and sending him flying backwards. Richard jumped up, and delivered a sharp spin kick to the side of Ryan's head.
I watched as Ryan fell to the ground and his shirt rode up his arm and I glimpsed the tattoo of the Raider's on it.
Richard grabbed my arm,
"Kori, come with me!" He hissed, dragging me towards the door.
"No!" I shouted, standing my ground. I stood stock still, and Richard pulled and pulled but I would not budge.
"Kori stop using you're powers and come with me!" He exclaimed, looking into my eyes through his dark sunglasses.
That distraction of knowing about me powers let him pull me forward, and I looked back as Ryan stood up and Richard dragged me towards him.
"Shalo'fa Koriand'r!" Richard exclaimed, and I gasped, Richard knew how to speak my language?
Translated to English Richard had said 'hurry Koriand'r' but I didn't move I just stared at him in awe.
"Leave her alone!" Roared Ryan, getting up and running towards us, letting a bolt of dark green energy fly from his eyes, hitting Richard in the chest.
I gasped as Richard flew back into the door and out into the hallway.
"What's she to you?" Growled Richard, blood running from a deep cut on his head.
"He's my brother!" I exclaimed, running to Richard.
Ryan stared at Richard hard, and his breathing slowed to normal. I however ran to Richard's side, watching as nurses and security came running, staring at me and Richard; Ryan had vanished.
