Chapter 13

The first thing she saw when she finally came to was bright florescent lights blinding her making her want to close them again, but her eyes quickly adjusted. She expected to see her very purple room but instead she was met by a very plain, and very boring looking room that could use a splash of color. She grimaced at the room, but she stopped herself she was being rude to who ever had designed this room. A dull ache could be felt pounding in her head she rubbed it hoping that it would get rid of the ache, nothing.

She tried to remember what had happened because all that she remembered was heading off to the Wayne Manor but then nothing as if she had black out like when she had been hit on the head with a crowbar. Her eyes searched the room and she defiantly knew that she wasn't in the Manor because Bruce wouldn't have anything this plain in his house but who knew he was full of surprises and she still hadn't been in all the rooms yet… the house is HUGE.

"Your up!" She heard a familiar voice shout as he saw her emerald orbs open. She turned to see a very relieved looking Richard Grayson. She only scowled at him, he was at her side within seconds he didn't know if he should touch her or not by the look on her face, "You feeling ok?" he asked softly.

She stared angrily at the wall as if it was the source of all her problems, "Fine, where the hell am I?" she snapped at him, she still wouldn't meet his gaze.

"Your at the hospital the others are down the hall Rachel's still in intensive care, she hasn't woken up yet. You suffered major blood loss from the hit you took from Erik and when you took flight to go back to the mansion I guess you got light headed and black out and fell to the ground, I caught you right before you hit," He explained.

She shifted the bed, making it crinkle under the shifting of her weight. She stared at him, her eyes gave away nothing, "Thank you, now can you just leave me alone?" She asked him. Her face absolutely passive, but he could read it in her eyes that she was angry with him.

He made no move to leave the room he just held his position at her bed side, "What's wrong?" He said he reached a tentive out to touch her shoulder but by the death glare she shot at him he retracted it quickly. It hung limply at his side, kind of awkwardly in a sort.

She stared at him her eyes angry, "Why don't you go check on Rachel for me," She said rolling so she was facing away from him and looking at the door.

"Don't avoid my question Kori, what is wrong?" He demanded.

She went stiff and she felt tears dare to form in her eyes, "Just g-go check on Rachel I just want to be left alone," She said as she wiped at her face. Richard sighed heavily, before deciding not to push her and go see how Rae was doing.

Rachel's Room:

Garfield's face was white as a sheet, he felt like he was going to puke. He hated seeing her like this, she was just laying there lifeless. He knew she wasn't dead they said that she was healing quite quickly, but that was because she was healing herself with that power of hers. He held her hand in his, it was small and limp and he couldn't help but worry. He had yelled at her before about things he couldn't remember, something stupid probably. He wanted to lash out at someone and shout and yell but the only person he could do that to was himself. He brushed her hair back from her face, and held his hand on her forehead staring at her closed eyes. He felt tears fill his eyes and spill from them.

"I love you Rae Rae," he said placing his forehead against her's. He closed his eyes as well until he heard the opening and closing from the door that lead into the room. He thought everyone had gone back to the mansion, he watched as Richard walked into the room a confused look on his face. He didn't even seem to see Garfield, he sat down in one of the chairs and sank down into staring at Gar with a lost look on his face.

"What's up?" Gar said not taking his hand out of Rachel's as he addressed the disgruntled man.

Richard looked surprised when Gar addressed him, "How's Rach?" he asked.

Garfield looked at Rachel, he swore he saw her eye twitch and felt her squeeze his hand, "Doing good," He said, "Kori?"

Richard looked at him with a clueless look, "She woke up-"

"that's good," Gar said excitedly.

"Yeah, but she wouldn't even look at me." He ran a hand through his raven hair, "What did I do? I don't remember doing anything wrong, we made up at the party. We kissed! Then Roy ruined it, but other than that I can't remember anything," he shrunk back into his seat and stared absently at the wall.

Garfield arced an eyebrow, "You guys kissed?"

Richard shot him angry glare, "Your missing the point, she's pissed at me for something I don't even know I did," He shook his head before slamming his fist into the chair out of anger.

"I wouldn't break the chair Richard. You may be rich but I don't think it would be smart," Rachel's weak sarcastic voice spoke up.

Garfield's face lit up when he heard her voice, he instantly turned from Richard to Rachel a huge fanged grin on his face and he consumed her into a giant bear hug. She winced as he did so but wrapped him in a light hug back.

"Oh my god Rachel," Garfield gushed as he held her at arms length away to look at her, "Oh thank god your awake!" he pulled her close again but this time into a much gentler hug and she rested her head against his chest.

"I love you too Gar," She said. His face turned pink when he realized that she had heard everything he had said to her. She pulled out of his arms and said, "I love you, I don't love you anymore when your wearing that damn ring, I think I prefer you all green," She said poking him in the chest.

He smiled as he brushed his lips over her own remembering how he had accused her for flirting with Jason when he was flirting with her and he had said that they should break up because it was obvious that she was all over him even more because she only like him when he wasn't green. When she had said what she just said the fight seemed meaningless and childish.

"Good," he murmured against her lips.

"Get a room," Richard huffed from his spot.

Gar pulled away his face turning red, Rachel only eased back into her bed and watched Richard with amused eyes.

"What?" He snapped.

"No, 'Oh your up!' or 'Oh good I was so worried that you would never open you eyes!' all I get is 'get a room,'" Richard rolled his azure eyes at her.

"What do you want me to run over there and give you a big ol' kiss on the lips like Gar?" He teased making Gar turn even redder if possible.

Rachel rolled her violet eyes, "So Kori's pretty pissed," She said

Richard stared angrily at the wall like Kori had done when she had awoken, "yeah," he mumbled.

"Did you ask her why?"

"Hell yes! I said what's wrong and all she says is she wants me down here checking on you, she wants to be alone in her damn room, I don't get it!"

Rachel stared at him assessing the situation before saying, "So after your kiss with her which I know you have wanted to do ever since she kissed you to learn English like 9 years ago she went off with Roy and Barbra to go and get Abyss." Richard shook his head yes, "Maybe on their way back to the manor one of them could have said something to her to make her question her feelings toward you and your feelings toward her, that could have pissed her off," Richard still stared at the wall taking in what Rachel had just said.

"I hate that you get it and I would have never guessed," He mumbled.

Rachel smirked deviously, "Well I can read people emotions and normally tell what the cause of the emotion is. Right now she is feeling pain, sadness, and a broken heart which also leads her to anger. You are just feeling lost and kind of scared of loosing Kori again. You should just go talk to her and tell her how you really feel. Go back to her room," Rachel urged.

Richard shook his head, "I can't," he shook his head harder and slammed his fist into the chair again making Gar and Rachel jump.

Gar glared at him, "I thought that you were the lady's man, dude," Gar said.

Richard had his face in his hands not looking up, he laughed bitterly, "Yeah well I can promise you that Kori is different than Starfire. Starfire was the innocent naïve girl who reminded you of a child, I fell for that girl but I wouldn't allow myself the pleasure of acting on it because I didn't want to ruin her innocent demeanor. That's one of reasons I got side tracked with Tillie," He spit Tillie's name out like a bad taste in his mouth and a grossed out look on his face, "Ugh I can't believe I did that to her, when I came back here I thought that I could get away from it all and have a relaxed time-"

"Your never relaxed, so what are you talking about?" Rachel said in a dry voice.

Richard only smirked shaking his head, "Yeah well when I came here I felt that punch in the gut and I had all these strong feelings for her, but she's different I don't know. She just doesn't seem like that innocent girl I first fell in love with, she lost all the naivety and innocentness about her. She's just… she's… I don't know but I still love her its just like she won't listen to me-" He said through his hands.

"Go talk to her," Garfield said with his hands placed protectively around Rachel's shoulders.

Richard nodded his head before getting up and walking out of the room and back toward Kori's.
