Eh, I know I said the Kori/Richard POV switch was only for the last chapter, but I'm gonna do it in this one, too.
Just to remind you, that means Richard' POV is first.
AND WE'RE READY IN 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!
(p.s. I don't own Teen Titans)
"Kicked in the balls?" tried Richard.
The cop raised an eyebrow.
"No?" Richard said. "Didn't think so"
"Right..." The cop said. "So what really happened?"
"Well," Richard began. He searched his brain for something to say, when a woman's hand wrapped itself around his bicep.
"He's with me," the voice said.
Richard twisted his neck to see who was draped around his arm, and was greeted by a mass of blonde hair in his face. He cringed.
"Kitten, what are you doing?" He whispered.
"Don't worry, Richie-poo, I've got it covered" Kitten cooed.
Richard rolled his eyes.
"Oh, my Richard wasn't doing anything wrong, I promise," Kitten said to the cop, batting her long eyelashes. "He would never!"
The cop eyed Kitten suspiciously.
"Uh-huh..." The cop said. He turned to Richard. "That true?"
"Half is," Richard said, trying his best to mimic Rachel's monotone.
"Which half?"
Richard smirked. "The part about me not doing anything wrong." And this wasn't a lie, what he did to Xavier wasn't wrong, it was justice.
"Battling evil with the help of justice!" Richard mumbled under his breath. He laughed.
"Come again?" the cop said.
Richard regained his composure, adjusted his sunglasses, and switched into monotone mode again. "Nothing," he said.
The cop looked from Kitten to Richard, then back again.
"You two really together?" he questioned.
"No," Richard quickly replied, just as Kitten was saying 'yes'.
"So is that a yes or a no?" The cop said.
"It's a no," Richard said, earning a glare from Kitten.
"Oh, he's just shy. We just started dating," she said.
"I see..." The cop pulled something from his pocket.
"I'm not buying it, buddy." He said to Richard. "But I'm letting you go with a warning." He scribbled something on a pink slip of paper and handed it to Richard. "If I catch you doing anything even remotely against the law, you'll be regretting it."
"Is this some kind of special treatment?" Richard said, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't choose favorites, kid. Not even guys who wear sunglasses indoors at night."
Richard rolled his eyes again, as the cop turned towards everyone and said in a booming voice, "You guys really didn't notice I was a cop, did you?"
Everyone started talking and running around in different directions. Within 10 seconds, almost everybody was gone.
Except for Kori, Wally, and Terra, who stood staring at Richard and the cop.
Kori felt the urge to laugh, even under the circumstances. She watched as the cop talked to Richard, and she felt herself get nervous.
Is he going to get arrested? Are they going to call his parents? What is that cop going to do? Please, PLEASE don't hurt him. He's the only one standing up to Xavier.
Kori found herself biting her nails as she continued watching the cop and Richard, and another tear slid down her cheek. She couldn't take it anymore. She took a deep breath and took a step towards Richard.
And froze.
Kitten had slung her bony hand around Richard's arm, and began talking to the cop as Richard turned around to see who was clinging to him.
Kori felt her eyes narrow.
Wally coughed nervously.
"Hey, you guys," A young female voice called to Wally and Kori. They turned around to see Terra walking towards them. "Have you seen Kitten? Fang's looking for-" Terra was cut off by Kori pointing back at the cop, Kitten, and Richard.
"Oh my god," Terra breathed.
"Yeah" Kori scoffed.
"Is she an idiot?" Terra whispered, stepping up to stand next to Kori as they watched the scene.
"Yes, but what else is new?" Kori said, eyes glued intently on Kitten's hand, that now clutched Richard's arm like her life depended on it.
"She only likes him because he's rich." Terra said, looking at Kori. "She told me she prefers Fang because Fang's hotter."
"Or because he's the only one who will kiss her, Kori countered. Terra snorted.
"You're probably right"
"Girls" Wally said, throwing his hands in the air. "I will never understand their level of intense drama"
Terra patted Wally's head. "You will someday," she said to him.
Kori turned her attention back to Richard and Kitten, and felt a pang of jealousy. And she didn't know why. She could feel Richard roll his eyes under his glasses at what ever the cop had said.
"You guys really didn't notice I was a cop, did you?" the police officer shouted to the room. People started scampering away, saying 'Oh shit,' and 'Why hasn't he busted us already?'
Terra, Wally, and Kori saw the policeman and Richard turn their heads towards them. Terra smiled and waved, Wally ran his hand through his hair, and Kori looked away shyly.
Xavier groaned and mumbled, 'I hate you,' before falling unconscious.
DANG!
That was short too!!
Anyways, I don't really have much to say...
Other than...
Review?
