Chapter 6

Ok, I loved your reviews! They were sooooooooooooo funny! And by the way, Slade did NOT rape Nikki! He took off her shirt and felt her up and that's it! Jeez! I would never write a sex scene, which is too gross. Okay? Anyway, you will love this because you get a LOT of questions answered. So keep reading!

Illegally Blonde- No, Kory is single! I know, Slade is so gross! And Slade, FYI, Nikki is like 40 years younger than you (or something like that)! I loved your review!

Bpotato23- Slade is a looker, but he needs to stop breaking the law! You are so awesome!

Angelicxox- You are smart! It is someone else, congratulations. Someone told me I should add a plot twist, so here we go. I'm glad you like it!

White-cracker- I know, Slade is EW! I agree with you! I'm glad you like it!

Melody of Melodies- Are you a Terra fan? I hated her at first, but she was nice right before she died, so now I like her. You seem pretty cool, and I love your reviews!

St4rf1r3R0b1n43vr- Three of those questions I can't answer. Raven and Beast Boy are in this chapter. I'm glad you like it! I'm not a pro, thanks for the compliments!

RobStar119- Ok, I'll leave that out, but it wasn't sex, he was feeling her up… but you're right, it was too much. Sorry!

Nightfire Future Titan- I'm glad you like it. Did you review Love Hurts? Your name sounds familiar.

White artemis- Slade should rape Kory? No, that is too gross. And Slade is too smart. Kory has powers. So does Nikki, but she doesn't no how to use them, so she's more defenseless. But you'll wanna see what Nikki's boyfriend and Ryan do to Slade!

Thugette90-Not really weird, I like bad boys, too. But I agree, Nikki is like 40 years younger than him. Icky. Young girl, old guy is so gross. That is so creepy! Tell me; is this anywhere close to your biography?

Orlifan4561- Does Orli mean Orlando Bloom? I love him, he's hot! And I'm glad you hate Slade! He's evil!

StarXRobin4eva12- 200? WHAT? That's insane. But if you say so, I'm gonna believe it!

Ravenwithemotion- I'm sorry you hate cliffies! But you aren't the first and definitely not the last! I'm glad you like it!

"S-S-Sierra?" said Richard.

The waitress, AKA Sierra (I tricked everyone! You all thought it was Kory! Hahahahaha! Okay, I'm being mean), nodded happily. She was a very pretty woman of 29, with green eyes and long, wavy blond hair

"Rich, you know her?" said George.

"Of course he knows me! I'm his cousin! I'm so glad you two are friends! Richard, what happened to your eye?" said Sierra.

"Psychotic teenager," said Richard.

"Oh, poor Richie!" said Sierra.

"Sisi, stop, you're embarrassing me!" said Richard.

"OK. What do you two want to drink?" said Sierra.

"Coke," said George.

"What he said," said Richard.

"Coming right up!" said Sierra, and walked away.

Once Sierra was out of earshot, George said, "Richard, you must hook me up with her."

Two tables over…

"Honey, did we really have to come here?" said Gar Logan.

"Gar, there are vegetarian meals here. Besides, the kids love it," said Raven.

Gar Jr. (henceforth known as Junior) licked his lips as he read the menu. Gar groaned. "How did he become so carnivorous?"

"Easy," said Ryan. "I was eating a burger once when he was over at our house. He wanted some. Nikki said not to, but I know I did the right thing and now he loves the stuff."

"And I had blamed his mother!" said Gar.

"Ryan, you should not do things you know are wrong," said Kory. She was really depressed without Nikki.

"But Mom, the poor guy was hungry," said Ryan.

Their conversation was interrupted by Sierra the waitress.

"Hi, I'm Sierra, may I take your order?" she said. Ryan was drooling until he remembered he had a girlfriend.

"Can you give us more time?" said Raven.

"Of course!" said Sierra. "You with the black hair, you look exactly like my cousin, you know. Except your eyes. They look like… Oh my god." She turned to Kory. "Kory? You may not recognize me, I was only fourteen last time I saw you. I'm Sierra Wayne (I know, Batman doesn't have a niece, but he does here!), Bruce's niece, Richard's cousin. Ryan is all grown up! Last time I saw him, he was an itty-bitty baby, about this small!" She showed how small she meant, which was quite exaggerated. Ryan groaned.

"I was NOT that small!" he said. Sierra just laughed.

"Okay, I'll come back when you wanna order." She walked off.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Meanwhile…

Slade had just shown Nikki a tape of what she had done. Nikki gaped open-mouthed. She had robbed a bank, she had single- handedly kicked Nightwing's butt, and, the most shocking part of all, she had flown and some weird, bright blue thing had come out of her hands! She looked at her own hands, to see if her hands had any of this weirdness had gone on, but her hands were the same old petite, tan hands with blue nail-polish that matched her eyes and a ring on her middle finger that was a birthday present from Max. He'd probably whoop Slade's butt right now if he figured out what Slade did. Probably kill Slade. That was why she loved him (Max, NOT Slade).

"Well, my little Nikki, what'd you think of that?" said Slade.

"I'm not little and I'm not yours," said Nikki angrily.

"Spoken like your idiotic father," said Slade.

"Don't you talk about my father like that!"

"Nikki, tell me, do you even know your father?"

"Not really, but it doesn't matter! No one deserves to be dissed behind their back!"

"Actually, it does matter. Have you ever wondered why your father has never even bothered to see you in the 14 years of your life?"

Nikki couldn't answer him. He actually had a very good point. Did her father even care about her?

"I see. Poor child. He doesn't care about you at all. So, what did you think of the video?"

"How did I have those powers?"

"Didn't your mother ever tell you?"

Nikki shook her head.

"Honey, your dear mother was Starfire, back in her teens."

Nikki was so shocked, she couldn't say anything.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Meanwhile…

"George, Richie, I'm back with your drinks!" said Sierra, handing the men Cokes. "Richie, guess who's here?"

"Don't call me Richie," said Richard. "And who's here?"

"Guess," said Sierra.

"My boss? Bruce? Your BFF?"

"Nope. It's someone you haven't seen in a while."

"Haani?"

"My sister isn't here on Sundays! That's when her hubby takes her out."

Richard had another idea, but it was too good to be true. "I give up."

Sierra laughed and laughed. "Silly goose! It's Kory! She's here with Ryan, Raven, Gar, and Gar Jr. I'm sure they wanna see you."

"Kory wants to see me? I remember as though it were yesterday. Kory told me she never wanted to see me again," said Richard.

"Is Kory your ex?" asked George.

"Yes, sadly. I thought they were meant for each other, too. But life doesn't always work out like that," said Sierra. "How about Ryan? He's your son. He'd want to see you."

It was Richard's turn to laugh. Sierra and George both stared at him. "Okay, Sierra, Ryan HATES me. He told me so. And he meant it. Honestly, how many three year olds can hate? Honestly. But I do need to talk to Kory. It's about Nikki."

"Who?" said Sierra.

"The daughter I met yesterday. Where are they?" said Richard.

"Over there." Sierra pointed towards them. Richard got up and headed straight over.

They were all sipping sodas. Ryan was rambling on and on about how all the girls loved him and stuff teenage boys talk about. Junior listened with great admiration. Raven looked bored. Gar kept thinking, "Wow, he's just like I was when I was a teen!" and Kory was still depressed. Richard noticed how beautiful she was. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. And she looked so sad. He would've hugged her, had it been 14 years ago, and not now. He was scared he'd be smacked. And he'd deserve it.

Junior was the first to notice Richard. "Hi Uncle Richard!" he said as loud as humanely possible. The whole restaurant stared. Raven and Gar looked worried. Ryan looked angry. Kory looked shocked. Junior looked cute, like most 5-year-olds do.

"What the fuck" (Raven covered Junior's ears) "are you doing here?" said Ryan rudely, earning a smack from Kory. "Ouch, Mom! What was that for?"

"Do not use that kind of language!" she said.

"But Mom, he's the bas—I mean jerk," said Ryan.

"Ryan, please do me a favor and close that abnormally large mouth of yours," said Kory. "Hello, Richard," she said with no emotion.

"Wassup? Haven't seen you in a while." That was stupid! thought Richard.

Kory just nodded. "How has life been?" she said emotionlessly.

"Good. As good as it gets without you. I miss you, Kory."

She just nodded. Richard wanted her to say, I missed you too, or I love you or something. But he didn't think it would happen.

"Anyway, Kory. Would you like to know what our daughter was doing today?"

Kory suddenly looked much happier. "You know where she is?"

"I did this afternoon. She robbed a bank, Kory."

"Nikki would not do that."

"She might have been brainwashed or drugged or something, but she definitely robbed a bank, Kory. Sorry. She beat me up in the process, too."

"I knew that girl was a genius," said Ryan. Kory glared at him. "I didn't say anything," he said.

"Richard, have you tracked her down? Do you know where she might be?" said Kory. Her maternal instincts were kicking in.

"I was hoping you'd know that," said Richard.

"I have not seen her since last night," said Kory. "She was last seen babysitting Junior. Tell me, how did you know who she was?"

"She's as beautiful as her mother. I met her yesterday, actually."

"Eating pizza?" Oh no. I'm in so much trouble, thought Ryan.

"Yeah! She seemed protective of you."

"She is. Tell me, was there a man trying to shoot Ryan there?"

"WHAT?"

"Ryan, no Gamestation for a week."

"But, Mom!" cried Ryan.

"No buts," said Kory.

Ryan mouthed, "I hate you" at Richard.

"Ryan, why are you giving me such a hard time?" said Richard.

"Okay, Dad. Imagine this. You're an innocent, defenseless 3-year-old. You're at home with your Dad, as your Mom is grocery shopping. You fall asleep. You wake up to find a wanted murderer holding a knife standing right in front of you. The murderer attempts to kill you. You scream, but your Dad doesn't come. Then, you see a sign that says, Free Beer, 4 miles. Your Dad had left you home alone to drink beer. Luckily for you, your Mom comes home just in time to save you. When Dad comes home 4 hours later, sure enough, he has a beer bottle in his hand."

"Ryan, I'm sorry," said Richard.

"If Mom had come home a minute later, I would be dead! You don't leave a 3-year-old unattended, Dad! It's common sense! But you, being the drunk idiot that you were and still are…" Ryan continued insulting Richard. The whole restaurant was gaping open-mouthed at them. Kory pulled a sticky note out of her purse and wrote something on it. She handed it to Richard.

"This is my phone number. Call me if you see Nikki," she said. Then she turned to Ryan. "Let's go." They went straight out the door. Richard was staring after them. Then, he looked down at Kory's phone number.

"Well, Rich, at least you got her number," said George.

"George, sometimes I think you're truly an idiot," said Richard.

Long chapter! Happy? Probably not. It's impossible to please you people.
