A/N: Look at the authors note at the end of the chapter plz; it explains more about where the story is going.

Disclaimer: I've been eating pizza for two weeks straight because I can't afford anything else, does it seem like I own Teen Titans?

Neko 1392: I tried to make it so that you couldn't really see what's going to happen, I'm glad it worked. If there's one quality about stories that I find most important, it's originality, so I found that comment particularly (big word) flattering. Thanks and don't forget to review again!

SpiderSquirrel: Glad you like the twist, I tried to think of something good, I guess it turned out okay after all. (Who the hell is Shakespeare?) Thanks for reviewing again, keep it up!

Kikyz: Thanks! Your review is really flattering. I'm glad you like it and thanks for reviewing. Lol, I like long reviews anyway. Keep Reviewing!

Monchhichi: I'm not really sure, I was under the impression that blind people didn't really have an eye color and that's why they wore glasses or whatever. I'm not too knowledgeable in this kind of common knowledge and stuff.  Continue Reviewing!

DarkNightDream: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm actually surprised I've never read a story where this has happened, I mean, he does where that damn mask all the time, so his eyes could be anything. Not just the stereotypical blue that everyone seems to think they are (just a pet peeve of mine, not that my (insignificant) opinion matters ) Thanks for reviewing, keep doing it!

Bbraebabe: bbraebabe+computer… hmmm… interesting. Glad you like my story so much, and since you're so eager to read it, here's the next chapter! Don't forget to review!

Gregthezombie: Okay, I know I promised you bb/rae, and I'm going to deliver, I promise (read the authors note at the bottom of the page when you're finished reading). I appreciate your opinion, keep them coming! (I'm also glad you liked the twist)

I feel awfully random: It may not make sense now, but…well, actually, this concept is a little confusing too (the one in this chapter) I hope I didn't confuse anybody. Keep reviewing!

Digicowboy: Glad you like the twist, it won't affect the story for now, but it will come back later, but probably not for a while. I need to focus on the actual BB/Rae part now. Glad you reviewed again, keep doing it!

Chapter Seven: I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming I'm Dreaming… Damnit! I'm not dreaming…

That's what Kori was thinking at the moment as she stared at Richard's eyes and back to the sunglasses that still lay on the floor. Then she slapped herself repeatedly, which made her realize that she was not, in fact, dreaming.

"Richard I didn't… I wouldn't… What?" She had never been so confused in all her life. Whatever had been ailing her stomach earlier was back, but ten times worse. To say she felt nauseous was an understatement.

Apparently Richard was also at a loss for words, as he had not spoken yet. He felt like someone had just stabbed him, like he was being electrocuted, like he did when Kori found out about the song, "Baby Got Back" and he had to explain what it meant… except now the feeling was worse- you could only imagine what that would be like. He had expected to be mad; furious, wanting to make sure whoever found out about his disability would never live to tell his secret. He wanted to be mad, he wanted to yell, but all that came out was a lame not-even-complete-sentence.

"Kori, there's something I have to tell you…"

Something he had to tell her. Something he had to tell her. Something he needs to tell her… Kori's head was spinning, he was blind and just now he had something to tell her? This whole situation was getting more and more confusing.

Richard growled in frustration, how was he going to explain this?

"Richard, I hadn't meant to see that. It really was an accident, knocking off your glasses." She glanced at the dark sunglasses on the floor again. Richard seemed to be thinking- whether or not to accept her apology..?

"Well, I guess I should start with the fact that I was born blind, so I've never been able to see anything, obviously. When I was still a little kid my parents died, they were shot by some…" he had to hold back a curse, "by some criminal and I had to live with my…uncle. I still live with him actually, though I've never told you where I live or anything. His name's Bruce Wayne."

Remember when I said Kori was the most confused she had ever been? I retract my statement. He was just going to tell her after all of this? She thought he would want anything but to explain himself.

"Bruce Wayne of Wayne Enterprises? The Bruce Wayne that owns half the city?" Kori asked, trying to get her facts straight.

"That's him." Richard said, his voice a monotone. He wasn't sure why he was still talking, or why he could suddenly remember every little detail about his past. He couldn't decide if remembering was a good thing or a bad thing.

"So he took me in when I was still young and we got along okay, I guess. About a year before you came to the United States, when I was in sixth grade- I got beaten up by a kid bigger than me, and older. He had no sympathy, he knew I was blind, but it didn't matter to him. When I came home, I had a black eye and a bloody nose, not to mention I had gotten suspended too. When Bruce saw me, he decided I needed to be trained in self-defense."

Richard sighed, he wouldn't be able to tell her the truth during this particular part of the story, but he knew it would be better and less confusing this way. No one needed to know about Bruce's… nightlife. That was a secret he could never share.

"So I went to a kind of… boarding school that taught martial arts. My trainer taught me to fight, he taught me how to do things without stumbling, to see without really seeing anything. I was able to sense movement easily, and all my instincts were sharpened a lot, which is how I get around. I can still basically see, but just not actually see. I can also predict movement and sort of sense things. Like a kind of empathy, but with movement instead of feelings."

This was more than Kori could take in at one time. She sat down slowly and thought for a moment, to be able to see without being able to see. The concept was confusing, to say the least. What had been that comic she stumbled across in the mall? Dare Devil; that had been it. Had that hero not been blind but still able to see? She guessed the idea was similar.

"I think I understand somewhat, but what I don't understand is why you never told me. How could I not have found out?" How has he never taken off those sunglasses?

"Well, I hide it well, I guess. I never really told anyone anything about this, you can see why though. I don't want people to treat me differently because I live with the richest guy in Gotham, or because I can't see."

"I'm glad you told me about this Richard, you should really be more open. But I'm afraid I'm still confused about one thing, why are you not angry at me?" He smiled at her, that was happening more often now, she noticed.

"I guess, my entire life I knew someone was going to have to find out sometime, I'm just glad you're the first of my friends to know." Richard bent down and picked up his glasses from the floor, looking at them for a second. He glanced again at Kori before placing the glasses on the nightstand; he could get them later.

"So what are we supposed to do now?" Kori asked. Richard put on a thoughtful expression, though he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

"Well," He said slowly, "We could… I don't know," he made a gesture towards the bed. Kori looked at him and laughed. Richard frowned, girls never wanted to do anything fun. He lay down on the bed next to Kori, just enjoying each other's company. Kori smiled to herself, happy that she had learned something about him. As she lay on the bed, thinking about Richard and their new and better relationship her mind began to wander to other subjects, like school. She was going to have to do a lot of make-up work, not to mention that they had left Rachel to deal with their teacher for after school detention. Kori almost laughed at the idea. I wonder how friend Raven is doing…

A/N: Okay, the next chapter will be BB/Rae! I needed to get the Star/Rob factor out of the way, though they will not be ignored in future chapters. Pretty much all of the chapters from now on will be BB/Rae centric, so don't worry. When I said this was about them, I meant it. Bet you all thought Richard was going to blow up, eh? But who could stay mad at Kori?
