Chap 5 : We Meet Again
Kori arrived home to her apartment. It was 1:00am. She relived Rosa and sat on the couch just staring. Then she saw Jade's door open. The little three year old stepped out. She walked over to the couch, sat and laid her head in her mothers lap. Kori allowed her to stay there while she stoked Jade's black hair. After 10 minutes though she decided it was time for Jade to go back to bed.
" Time for bed sweetheart." Kori whispered as she picked up her daughter and carried her to bedroom. She tucked Jade in nice and tight.
" You want to tell me why you were up so late?"
" I had a nightmare. And now I'm afraid to go to sleep." the sweet voice of the little three old replied.
" I'm sorry you had a bad dream, but you must face your fear. Just because you had one bad dream doesn't mean you'll have one every time you sleep."
Jade nodded ok. " Mommy will you tell me the story about the princess?"
" Of course. Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess on a far away planet. But she always felt out of place. She was grateful she was a princess and was treated well but she was different and wished a different life for herself. Finally she ran away to a planet called Earth. Earth was a very confusing place especially for the young princess for she did not speak the language. She roamed the streets of the city until one night something happened that would change her life forever. She had been walking alone one night when all of a sudden a bad guy jumped out at her and wanted to hurt her. The princess thought she was doomed when he showed up. The handsome prince fought the bad guy off and saved the princesses life. She wished to tell her savior thank-you but she didn't speak his language. But then she had an idea. She put one finger to his lips and knew the language within seconds. She told her savior thank-you. Then he took her to others who also felt like they didn't belong so they formed a team. This team fought bad guys and stopped their wrongdoings. For the first time in her life she felt like she belonged and she was happy. She even fell in love with the prince and he fell in love with her. But then one day the prince got hurt and had to go to heaven. The princess was so sad for she could not go with him. But then she was given a gift of a beautiful little girl named Jade. And she was happy once more. They lived happily ever after because they had each other."
Jade was now fast asleep. Kori stood and was about to walked out the door when a sleepily Jade said with her eyes still closed, " I love you a million skittles mommy."
" And I love you a million bottles of mustard."
" Good night mommy.
" Goodnight." Kori closed the door and walked over to her bedroom. She soon fell asleep.

Robin looked at the fire that was roaring in his fire place. He was still in shock. Many thoughts entered his head. Does Starfire, oh wait, Kori love with me? Is she angry at me for leaving? Jade. Will Jade love me? He looked at a picture he held in his hand. It was the one of Kori and Jade in the snow. I've missed so much.
There was a knock on his door and it opened. Cyborg stepped in , " Hey man how you doing?"
" Fine I guess."
" So you and Starfire? When did it happen?"
" The night before we fought Slade. The night before we…."
" Died." finished Cyborg.
" I love her so much. It hurts me to think she had to do everything without me. I should have been there for her when she gave birth or when Jade started walking. When Jade started talking. At her side when she was being told about that fight that suspended Jade. Through all the times that were hard. And its hard to think that I caused some of those hard times."
" You didn't know man. Plus you died. You don't have control over that."
" That morning was the best ever. Just waking up next to her."
: Flashback:
The sunlight filled the room. It woke Robin. He turned to see a just waking Starfire. Her eyes opened and they made his heart melt. Then she smiled a brilliant smile.
" Good morning beautiful." he said as he kissed her.
" It is indeed a good morning." she smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. They sat there in each others arms staring into each others eyes. He kissed her neck softly and whispered into her ear, " I love you."
" And I love you Robin with all my heart."
He sighed as she put her head on his chest. " Hey Star where do you think we'll be in five years?"
" I hope, Robin, that where ever I am it is with you."
" Me too, me too." Robin said as he tangled his fingers through her hair.
" Star, I have loved you for so long. I know we're young but it would be an honor if you would be my -----"
He was cut of by the alarm and Cyborg yelling, " It's Slade!"
" May you ask me your question later, Robin?"
" Of course." They got dressed and went to go fight Slade for the last time. Little did they know that Robin wouldn't be able to ask his question.
: End of Flashback:
" What were you going to ask her?" Cyborg asked.
" It's not important now. Actually I'm pretty tired I think I'm going to bed." Robin said. Cyborg nodded and left the room closing the door behind him. Robin got up went over to a drawer and unlocked it with a key. He picked up the box. He still had it. He had worn it on his finger when he died under his glove so no one ever noticed.
The diamond ring was in perfect shape. He fingered it and remembered what he was going to ask her 3 years ago. " Starfire will you be my wife?" he whispered to himself.

Kori walked into the living room. Jade was sitting in front of the TV watching Saturday morning cartoons. This one was called Kim Possible. Her eyes were glued to the screen as she moved her cereal spoon up into her mouth and then back into the bowl and then back into her mouth once more. She was eating Coco Puffs. The one cereal that made children super hyper. Kori sighed I'm so going to have a hyper child on my hands!!
" Jade, sweetheart?" Kori asked. But Jade just sat there eyes glued to the TV screen oblivious to her mother.
" Jade." Jade kept her eyes on the TV not paying any attention to her mother.
"Jade Raven Grayson!!!!!!" The spoon moved back a forth between mouth and bowl. There was only one thing to do in this situation. Kori picked up the remote and pressed power. Kim Possible was right in the middle of kicking someone when she disappeared off the screen.
This got Jade attention, " Hey Mommy what did you do that for?"
" I thought I told you that you can't have Coco Puffs in the morning. They make you bounce off the wall…..really."
" Please mommy it's only this one time and I'm almost finished anyways. Please, please turn on the TV! I'm going to miss the end!"
"Oh, alright." He mother said finally giving in and turning it back on.
" Yay!!!!!!!!!" Jade yelled as she once again took her spot in front of the TV in her footie pajamas. Kori made a mental note to herself not to let Jade watch so much TV anymore. I swear one day that thing is going to fry her brain!!!!! she thought to herself just as the phone rang.
" Hello."
"Hello Kori it's Bruce."
" Hey, good morning."
" Morning to you too. Listen can you bring Jade here today?"
" Have you told them?"
"Yes. They all want to see Jade and you. He wants to see Jade and you."
" I'll be there then. But tell them not to call me Starfire, Jade doesn't know and not to wear their suits, but normal clothing."
" I already told them."
" Ok then I'll be there.
" Great."
" Hey Bruce?"
" Yes, Kori."
" Do you think he still…."
She was cut off, " I know for a fact he still loves you. But if you want to build a relationship with him you both need to talk."
" Thanks."
" Your welcome,see you here around noon then."
"Yes. Goodbye."
" Goodbye."
This is it I'm going to go see him.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin looked into the mirror. He was wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He had his hair spiked and was wearing no mask, letting his deep blue eyes show. He had to look his best. This was going got be the first time Kori had seen him in 3 years, well at least for her. And the first time Jade would see her father. He was very nervous.
A hand was on his shoulder, it belonged to Raven , " Don't be nervous you'll be just fine." She was wearing a black skirt that covered her down to knees, black high heels, and a white shirt.
" Yeah dude. They'll both be happy to see you." Beastboy said standing in the doorway with gray jeans on and a white shirt.
" BB is right. You can do this." Cyborg said now standing right next to BB he was wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. It mostly covered up his robot parts.
Robin took in a deep breath. They were coming.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where she lies
Broken inside
Arvil Lavinge played throughout the car. Jade loved her and constantly listened to her. When Kori had told Jade they were going to visit grandpa she left the TV and got dressed. She looked nice. Jade was wearing a pink skirt, a fuzzy white shirt, with white shoes, and white socks with little lace on them. Her hair was down and a headband was in it. Of course Kori had also dressed nice. She was wearing silk-like black pants, a silky pink crisis-cross shirt. Her hair had long, wide curls as usual and she was wearing black high heels that were covered up to the little point at the top. She was so nervous she was shaking.
" Mommy why are you scared? We're just going to visit."
" Oh, Jade. Well I'm just nervous about mommy things don't worry about it."
Jade shrugged , " Ok if you say so."
Kori's grip on the steering wheel tightened as they pulled into the mansions driveway . They got out of the car and Kori got a box out of the back and went to the front door. Jade was still getting her coloring things from the car. Kori knocked. This is it.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all heard the knock. Although they tried to act casual as they waited for Kori and Jade by being in separate rooms. But they had been listening for it and now here it was.
Alfred opened the door and Kori stepped in just as Robin came out of Bruce's office and stopped at the bottom of the stairs. They stared at each other. And all the emotions that Kori had tried to forget came back. Boy did she love this man! The other Titans stood at the other side of the entrance hall watching this all happen. They had decided to give this moment to them.
Just then Bruce stepped into the hall, but before he could say anything Jade dropping her little backpack on the floor and rushed into his arms. " Hi grandpa."
" Hello Jade."
" Guess what."
" What?" he said amused.
" I grew a whole inch!"
" Wow! You're just getting to be so big. So I'm giving you this to match your outfit." he smiled and held out a pink bead bracelet. She took it eagerly and stared at it.
During all of this Robin watched his daughter with awe. He loved her already.
She was completely oblivious to anyone in the room as she stared at it. The she noticed her mother behind her. She rushed over to show her mother he bracelet. " Mommy, mommy look at what grandpa gave me!" she said in an excited way as she pulled on her mothers pant leg.
Kori looked at it, " Wow that's pretty! Sweetheart what do you say to grandpa?"
"Thank-you grandpa!" she yelled. The rest of the Titans just stood there. What was happening was strange to them but yet it made them happy all at the same time. Then all of a sudden Jade noticed Robin. She held on to her mother all of a sudden becoming shy. Kori smiled and bent down so she was Jade's size.
" Jade," Kori whispered, " you remember what I said to you about daddy?"
Jade nodded, " You said that my daddy had to go up to heaven."
" Well, sweetheart, he's not in heaven anymore."
"He's not?"
" Nope. He's right there." Kori said as she pointed to Robin .
Then all of a sudden she realized who he was. He looked like his picture. " I know him. I remember from the picture you gave me."
" Yeah that's right." Kori said.
Jade's confidence came back. She had wished for daddy for so long and now she was here!!! To a 3 year old mind there's no complications just what's there and her father was there. It didn't matter if he hadn't been there before he was there now. And he was waiting!
She flew into his arms and gave him the biggest hug. At first he was a little surprised but then he saw Kori give him a wink and he hugged her back tightly as tears ran down his face.
Jade started talking rapidly , " Hi daddy! I'm Jade! I've missed you so much. Mommy said you were in heaven but I guess she was wrong. Do love Coco Puffs? Cause I love them! What's your favorite kind-of candy? Do you like Arvil Lavinge? How about Easy Mac? That's good stuff I eat it everyday. I go to preschool, but I got suspended. Ha! Suzie was wrong I do have a daddy. Do you have one? Mommy took me to the fair last month and I won a monkey. Do you like monkeys?"
" Come on lets give the three of them time to catch up. You'll get to see her later." Bruce said to the other Titans. They all nodded and walked out of the room . Robin, Kori, and Jade went into the other room to talk some more.
Well that was Chap 5. The next one will have a emotional reunion between Robin and Starfire/ Kori. If you like it then review! Please no flames. Thanks!
