Revenge
Kori-Starfan93: Prepare yourselves… Oh and I made a mistake in the preview of chapter 2. Gar was supposed to say, "Guys, he's watching us! He's coming for our kids! We've got to go now!" Now we're set…
---- ------
Starfire and Robin's baby girl would be coming very soon. They had chosen a name for their baby, but would not reveal it until after the baby was born. Robin had gotten an actual job somewhere, and Beast Boy would do the same at least a month before his and Raven's baby was born. Cyborg was out in Steel City with Bee, and Beast Boy was getting more food. That left Raven and Starfire to do some shopping. Raven didn't know what gender her baby would be yet, so she got a dark blue crib since she really wanted to by some stuff for her baby. Starfire still needed to get a crib for her baby. She got a lavender colored crib, some paint to paint the baby's room, and a stuffed animal. It wasn't much, but it's not like she hadn't gotten almost all the stuff she needed at her baby shower.
"Hey Kori," Kori turned around and saw Rachael holding something behind her back. "Do think, no matter what gender it is, my baby will like this?" Rachael held up a small brown teddy bear that had forest green eyes. It was almost like a little fluff ball.
"Of course Rachael!" Kori said. Rachael smiled, relieved that she hadn't made the wrong choice. They decided to go to the second floor for some more baby clothes, and maybe some diapers. They went into the elevator and it started to go up. There was a sudden bump, and the elevator stopped, but the doors didn't open. The lights switched off and Kori gave a little shriek. Half because of the lights switching off, and half because something wet was running down her leg! She suddenly felt a very strong kick and screamed out in pain.
"What is it Kori!" Rachael asked, worried that she was going to have her baby.
"The baby's coming Rachael! And we're trapped in a broken down elevator!" Kori yelled. Rachael pulled out her cell phone and called an ambulance, and then the store's manager. The manager had the elevator fixed instantly and when the elevator came down, the… ambulance ppls were waiting. Rachael forgot about Richard for the time being. Everything was happening so quickly.

"Hey, where is everyone!" Beast Boy said, bringing in at least half a dozen bags of groceries. As if on cue, Cyborg and Bumblebee walked in. They noticed how empty and quiet the place was and asked Beast Boy,
"Where is everyone?"
"That's exactly what I'm wondering, Raven and Star should be back by now." he dialed up Raven on her cell and waited.
"Hello?" Raven answered in a shaky voice.
"Raven, where are you!" Beast Boy demanded. Raven gasped.
"I am so sorry for not calling you sooner! But hey, could you call Robin for me, and fast!"
"Sure, why?"
"Starfire's in labor!" she yelled so loud that Cyborg and Bumblebee could hear. Beast Boy said good-bye and hung up. He then dialed Robin.
"Hey, what's up?" Robin answered.
"Get to the hospital ASAP, Starfire's having the baby!" Beast Boy then held the phone away from his ear at arms length and Robin screamed. He hung up so he wouldn't hear any more screaming.
"Let's go!" Beast Boy said, grabbing his jacket. It was a little chilly out there.
---- ------
"Hey, what's with all the screaming!" Richard's boss came into his office to see Richard packing up his things. "Just where do you think you're going?"
"Hospital. Wife. Baby." Richard replied after running out of the office. The bad thing was, he had walked to work, so he had to run to the hospital.
He stepped outside to see that the streets were extremely crowded. "Great, just my luck." Richard muttered, pushing past people in a hurry.
"Excuse me; I'm really in a hurry here!" Richard yelled as he ran down the unfortunately crowded sidewalk. He was almost at the hospital. Why did he have to be somewhere else right when the baby came?
---- ------
"Just a few more pushes and it'll all be over!" said one doctor. But that didn't help Kori at all. She screamed as she tried to get the baby out. After 2 hard pushes, the baby was born, and Kori relaxed. Just then, Richard came bursting into the room panting.
"I am so sorry I couldn't get here sooner!" he apologized. Kori smiled in a wicked way.
"At least I was able to survive."
After the baby was cleaned up, the proud new parents were able to hold their daughter for the very first time. She had some black fuzz on top of her head, and when she opened her eyes, she was revealed to have 2 beautiful emerald orbs. A man came over and asked,
"What are you going to name the child?" Richard and Kori smiled.
"Luna Nightstar Grayson." they said together. The others came in and they each got to hold the little bundle of joy. When Luna came into Rachael's arms, Rachael couldn't resist the cuteness.
"Kori, your baby's beautiful." Rachael said.
"Thanks Rachael. You guys want to know what we named her?" Everyone nodded their heads furiously.
"Luna Nightstar Grayson." Kori told them. Richard was just sitting there for some reason. I guess he was in disbelief that he was now a dad. A doctor then came in and said,
"Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, I have a bit of bad news for you," Everyone froze. "Because of the major difference in the DNA structure, you can't have any more kids without the risk of the baby or Mrs. Grayson dying." he explained sadly. Richard and Kori the saddest of all. They really wanted a few kids.
2 years later…
Kori slowly opened her eyes. Today was going to be a happy day. Today was Luna's 2nd birthday. She looked at the time and it was only 4:30 AM. Kori cursed in her mind and went back to sleep.
---- ------
Rachael was in the bathroom. She was pregnant again. Even though the doctor had warned them that someone could die, she and Gar took their chances. So far, she was doing fine. Her baby, which had been born 7 months after Luna had, started to cry. She ran into her child's room and picked up the baby.
"Shhh its okay my little Nightingale, mommy's here." Rachael lulled her baby back to sleep with a soothing lullaby. She looked at the clock to see that it was now 5:16 AM. She went to the kitchen for some herbal tea. When she got to the kitchen, she saw that Kori was already up and bustling around in a plain purple robe.
"Just couldn't stand to stay in bed after 5 AM?" Rachael asked. Kori shook her head. Kori brought her a cup of herbal tea and Rachael thanked her.
---- ------
Richard woke up at 6:43 AM. Kori was, not surprisingly, already up. He rolled out of bed and went to take a shower. But the bathroom was already occupied. He checked the kitchen and Rachael was drinking her tea, and Garfield was still in bed, and Cyborg and Bumblebee were in Steel City. He smiled as picked the lock and opened the door. He peeked inside the shower and asked,
"Mind if I join you?" Kori was surprised at first, but then allowed him to join her. When he climbed into the shower he wrapped his arms around her waist. Kori sighed.
"Richard, I really want more children." she complained.
"Kori, I don't want to risk anyone dying." he told her.
"But Gar and Rachael are taking that chance! Why can't we!" Richard tightened his grip on her.
"Because I'm afraid I might lose you or the baby." he whispered in her ear. "But we will have another kid in time." he added. Kori gave him a wide smile and they continued to shower.
---- ------
Rachael figured that Garfield had been sleeping long enough even though it was around 7. She quietly crept into the room, and since she was already 7 months into her pregnancy, she'd be able to fool him easily. She took a deep breath and yelled,
"GARFIELD GET UP, THE BABY'S COMING!" Gar woke up instantly and took Rachael by the wrist and started going to the garage. But he stopped when she started giggling menacingly.
"Rachael! You really scared me!" he yelled.
"That was the point. Plus I needed you to get up." Rachael told him. A nearby lamp blew up, but neither minded. It pretty much happened all the time. Gar heard something and he perked up his ears. He recognized the sound as their daughter and said,
"Baby alert!" he went off to Nightingale's room and Rachael smiled again. He'd become so good with kids nowadays. He could actually make them laugh too.
---- ------
Kori and Richard had finished their shower, and were getting dressed. Kori chose to wear a pink tank top and white shorts. (Hey, it's summer.) Richard chose to wear a white baggy T-shirt along with dark blue baggy shorts. Kori shook her head at the sight of him.
"What is it with guys and baggy clothes?" she asked. (Seriously!)
"Well what is it with girls and small clothes?" Richard asked her. They heard Luna cry and tried to see who could get there first. Kori got there first.
"Hiya Luna! Is it your birthday today!" Luna looked like she was thinking for a bit and then said in a cute little voice,
"Yeah." Kori giggled at her cuteness. Richard also laughed and picked her up. They went out to the living room where Garfield, Rachael, and even Nightingale greeted them.
"What's up!" Gar said from the kitchen. Richard put down Luna and she started to walk around. Nightingale waved, and Rachael asked,
"How's the newest 2 year-old today?" Luna didn't answer, but looked at her 'aunt' with a very confused look. Gar screamed from the kitchen and came running out.
"Giant tofu monster! Everybody run for your lives!" Rachael sighed. Even though he was more mature, he still didn't understand natural things.
"Monster!" yelled Luna. She ran behind her mother and clutched onto her leg there was no tomorrow. Rachael went into the kitchen and came out very angry.
"Garfield Logan, how could you put cooking oil while cooking! You know that'll overflow!" she started to chase him throughout the tower.
"Here we go again. The great chase between husband and wife." Kori said, watching the 2 run in and out of the living room. "I guess I'll have to make breakfast." Kori went into the kitchen and before doing anything else, cleaned up the mess that Gar had created. She first got Luna and Nighty's (That's Nightingale's nickname.) breakfast prepared first. Luna had some pop tarts with a glass of mustard. Nighty had tofu bacon and juice.
"Hey Gar!" Kori yelled from the kitchen.
"What is it!" he asked while still trying to escape Rachael's wrath.
"Can you go to the store get some stuff on this list!"
"Sure! Anything to get out of here!" he ran past her, grabbed the list, quickly got his shoes on, and ran out the door.
---- ------
Gar whistled a merry tune while pushing the shopping cart around. He had gotten decorations, paper plates, cups, plastic forks, and ice cream. He still needed to get a cake and his gift to Luna. He got to the bakery and looked around. Something caught his eye and he turned around. He could've sworn he saw some black and orange. He ignored this and turned back around, only to be punched in the face. He fell back and looked up.
"Slade, what are you doing here? I didn't know that villains went shopping." Slade picked him up by the shirt and threw at some meat. At the time, he didn't really care. Gar felt some blood trickle down his face, but he didn't care about that either. Slade picked him up by the shirt again, but he didn't throw him this time. He said,
"I know you have kids, Beast Boy. I know your friends have a kid. I've been watching you all, and now your kids will be mine." he dropped Gar and ran off. Gar was shocked and ran back to the tower as a cheetah.
---- ------
Everyone had been waiting a while for Gar to come back.
"He should be back by now, unless he's trying to figure out what to get Luna." Rachael said. She looked outside and saw a green and black cheetah sprinting towards the tower. "Look there he is!" she yelled. He burst through the door and everyone saw that he had a bloody nose.
"Guys, Slade's watching us! He's coming for our kids! We've got to go now!" Gar yelled. Everyone gasped. He was still alive. Cyborg and Bee were alerted of this and they said that they would remain in Steel City. The 2 families separated, and agreed to contact each other very little. Luna was very confused and so was Nighty. They were the best of friends, and did not wish to be separated. With that, Titans Tower, was abandoned.
