"There's been a change of plans."
"What?!"
Now the chapter you've all been waiting for...
Revenge.
Enjoy the Chapter.
Bruce and company stared at Richard aghast. "What the hell do you mean that there's been a change of plans?!" Bruce spluttered angrily.
Richard looked nonchalant. He took a step back toward his friends with a confidence that should frighten the light out of the sun. "I meant what I said. Can't you adjust your agenda?" He asked rhetorically.
Bruce's eyes narrowed angrily. Babs and Kitten were staring at him as if he grew a second head or something. Only Xavier looked nonplussed. Well that was about to change. "Listen to me young man, you're coming back to Gotham with me and while you're at it, you can fix your insolent attitude." Bruce crossed his arms and gave a look that brooked no argument.
Too bad. "No."
Bruce ground his teeth audibly. "I'm sorry, this is not something up for dispute. You will bring your bags and take this flight to Gotham."
"You heard me," Richard said unyieldingly. "No."
"Richard, I am giving you a chance, or I will force you into that plane myself."
"No. Can't you understand that? Or is your vocabulary limited to words bigger than your brain?"
"Dick, you're treading on fine line right now."
"Ok, I'll overstep it. No, I'm not coming." He crossed his arms over his chest for emphasis.
Bruce took a step back, truly shocked at his ward's attitude. "What do you mean no?"
"It means that he's staying," came a strong voice from behind a bulwark of Richard's friends. They parted to reveal a very hott looking Kori who looked cool and composed. Xavier's jaw dropped and Mr. Anders looked appalled. Kori marched forward with a strut to her movement, eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
"Ms. Anders, what is the meaning of this?" Bruce asked, eyes flaring with anger as his self control over his temper eroded.
Kori crossed her arms and smiled viciously. "It means that he's staying. You do understand English, don't you?"
"Ms. Anders, I have put up with your insults generously, but this crosses the line—" Bruce began.
"It seems like there are a lot of lines you're drawing. How fair is that?"
"Korina, that's not a very nice thing to say to Mr. Wayne," Xavier inserted. "You should be kinder."
"Bite me."
Raven placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her from her all consuming anger. Kori smiled yet again. The smile did not reach her eyes. "You're right. Oh and Kitten?" Kitten looked up. "You're a slut." Victor, Garfield and Raven all started laughing insanely. Even Barbra started laughing hysterically.
Kitten screeched on the top of her lungs. "How DARE YOU!!!! YOU YOU YOU!!!"
"You said that already," Kori said calmly. Kori turned her cool gaze to a laughing Barbra. "You're one also, Babs."
Babs looked stunned and immediately ceased laughing.
"Korina, baby, look at me," Xavier inquired.
Kori faced Xavier and stalked over toward him sensually. Xavier watched her every step of the way and Richard's blood boiled to one thousand degrees Celsius. She leaned in close. "Go to hell." She backed up to Richard's side.
"I thought you liked me," Xavier began pathetically.
"I like that wall over there more than I like you." Kori looked thoughtful for a second. "I lied. I don't like you at all. The very idea of having to be nice to you makes me want to puke. Go to hell."
"You don't want to anger me."
"Looks like I did. Whatcha gonna do about that?"
"KORI ANDERS!" Mr. Anders shouted to silence her. "How dare you act so incredibly obnoxiously intolerably vulgar toward my colleagues!"
Kori ground her teeth. This time she yielded the floor. "And if she does?" Kami asked and Mr. Anders took a step backward, shocked at her outburst.
"Kamira Anders, what are you doing?" Mr. Anders asked horrified.
"Something I should've done a long time ago," Kami replied, moving to Kori's side. "I should've never hired you those many years ago, but you knew what you were getting into, much more than I did. You took the situation and shaped it to the way you wanted it, not the way I wanted it. Then you truly hurt my sister, got me to alienate her and have a mutual hatred with and for her. But I guess that's what you do. You mold things to your liking, suiting you rather than your surroundings. Well, newsflash, I'm not your slave to boss around anymore. I'm my own person. And Kori's my sister. So she—and I—will go around dissing your colleagues you self impudent, egotistical pig. Go to hell Xavier and stop sleeping around. Being a playboy won't get you girls. But I guess it suits you. Shows you an insolent pea brain anyways." Xavier looked utterly flabbergasted. It looked like someone had just pulled a rug from beneath his feet and he had no idea what had happened until he hit the ground. Kami turned to Kitten and Barbra. "Stay away from Richard. He's taken. By my sister." Kami turned toward Bruce, while Kitten and Barbra glared furiously at Kami, Kori, Richard and company. "Brucey, no one wants you here; you might as well make yourself useful and skit. Oh and I'm moving out."
"I beg your pardon?" Bruce asked fists clenched.
"It means leave," Richard took up smoothly. "I'm sick of being your pawn; something you can fool around with and leash when you want to. I'm my own person and I'm not tied to you anyway. You're not my father. You're just a rich boy that seems to love tweaking his ward. Well, I'm not going for it anymore, Bruce. I'm old enough to be a legal adult and that means I don't have any ties toward you anymore. But you seem to want to keep it up. Well, guess what? I'm not falling for it. Go to hell and take your friends with you. And leave me and my girlfriend and my best friends in peace." Richard wrapped a possessive arm around Kori's waist. Kori smirked.
"You bitch!" Kitten screamed, no dignity left. She clawed for Kori's throat, but Kori agilely moved out of her grasp. That probably had something to do with Richard's arm around her waist.
"You think you can steal Richard with all your dignity intact?" Barbra asked furiously. "You think you're all that? Well, reality check, you're not. Just wait. You'll pay so bad."
"Not half as bad as your public humiliation," Kori snapped. "What was it you said to the press? Was it something along the lines of 'oh, me and Richey-poo are back together now; be sure to wave to us when we return to Gotham; he's got a proposal ring'." Kori rolled her eyes. "You're sad. It's kind of pathetic how desperate you are. Don't have any guys flinging themselves at your feet? I think I know the answer to that. No and it's because you're self deluded." Barbra spluttered, beyond furious.
"Speaking of ring," Richard began and pulled out a box. Everyone gasped, Kori and Bruce included. Richard turned to Kori with a look of one who's in love. He took her hand gently. "I know we're really young and all, so this isn't a proposal, but it's a promise ring. Would you accept it?"
Koti smiled joyously despite the situation. She nodded, emerald eyes shining full of wonder and joy at Richard. "Yes."
Richard grinned at her and opened the box. It revealed a ring of true splendor. Instead of just a plain silver band, it had engravings of stars all along the band, with small emerald jewels encrusted into the band. It was magnificent. Richard removed the ring from the box and slipped it onto Kori's finger. Then he turned toward Bruce. "All the more reason to stay. I can't ditch a prior commitment, now can I?" It was words that Bruce had told him many years ago, words that Richard threw right back in his face.
Bruce was heading out the door as little Richard ran up to him.
"Where are you going?" asked little Richard.
"Out."
"But you promised to take me to the theater today."
Bruce shrugged. "I'm sorry. I can't today, kiddo. I have a prior commitment; I can't ditch that or I'd look really bad."
"Oh," replied a downhearted little Richard.
"It would look really bad," Richard concluded with a mocking smile.
Bruce looked like he was about to explode. Or implode. But then he did the strangest thing ever. He turned resigned. "Is this what you want?"
"What?" asked everyone else, utterly confused.
Bruce shrugged. "Is this what you want?"
"What do you think?" Richard asked rhetorically. Kori clung to Richard as she glared at Bruce.
"Fine, I yield."
"WHAT?!" yelled Kitten and Barbra simultaneously. Bruce turned toward them and muttered something to them, which immediately shut them up, causing them to look unusually content.
"Yes, I yield. Congradulations, Ms. Anders."
"It's Kori And'yr."
"My apologies. I bow out. Come now, Ms. Moth, Ms. Gordon and Xavier. It looks like we're unwelcome."
"Took you long enough," Kori muttered.
"You're so screwed," Kitten said with sadistic glee.
"We'll get you when you least expect it," Barbra added airily over her shoulder.
Kori decided to use a little magic of her own and allowed her eyes to glow an angry green, causing the girls to shrink into themselves and run along.
Mr. Anders grumbled. "Kamira Anders, what is the meaning of this?"
"I said what I meant and I'm moving out," Kami replied. "You're a manipulator and I can't be around you anymore. And you abuse people."
"So do you."
"Not anymore. I don't want to treat people like trash anymore."
"You don't have anywhere to live."
"Again you're wrong. I have somewhere to live and it's far away from you. I have money and all as well. You have no claims on me anymore."
"But you're a murderer."
"So are you. You don't have any holds on me anymore. You can't call me in as a higher of a murderer when you yourself dabble in that atrocity weekly. Admit it, you got nothing on me."
"You will regret this decision."
"On the contrary, I think I'm already liking it very much. Good bye." Kami turned on her heel and stalked off leaving a spluttering Mr. Anders behind. Mr. Anders cast everyone glares and stalked off in the opposite direction, leaving Kori, Richard, Victor, Garfield and Rachel.
Kori turned toward her friends. "Guys, I think we did it."
"How does revenge feel?" Rachel asked.
"Well, if you count the fact that one, Bruce's plane is scheduled to land in Ice City instead of Gotham," Richard began.
"And the fact that Kitten and Babs have total humiliation when they have to deal with the press," Kori added. "And that Xavier is a rejected playboy, all things considered, I think things worked out."
"I missed this part," Richard said slyly.
"What part?" Kori asked as she turned toward him.
"The part when I get kissed after giving you that damned expensive promise ring."
"Oh, you mean this kiss?" Kori asked as she leaned in and gave him a lingering kiss.
Richard smiled as they parted. "Wait, which kiss?"
Kori gave him a look and kissed him again.
"Get a room," Victor said with a grin.
"I think I like my ring," Kori said finally.
"I think I like you," Richard stated with a grin.
"I think I love you," Kori countered, head held high.
Richard wrinkled his nose at her and then leaned forward with another kiss.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Remember to review. I want a minimum of 400. On top of that, I think there's either one more chapter and an epilogue, but I might make a sequal, but that's up to all of you.
And yes, you were all right; the names of the two possible stories I might post are: The Greatest Stunt of All and My Alien Invades. I'll give you guys a sneak peak next post., which might come tomorrow and might come at the end of next week. It'll most likely be at the end of next week, so sorry about that.
Can't wait to hear from you all!
Your's truly,
