Wedding Bells

Chapter 5 7 Nominations, 6 awards and a 'X'

The award show was ok… a bit boring but it was alright… on the other hand, Richard couldn't believe how many awards Kory got! So far, she carried 2 Golden Globes in her arms, and roped her manager into caring the other 2. He was happy for her… but he also couldn't believe what she had won; Best on screen Kiss, Best Romantic line, Best romantic scene, Best drama performance, and her whole cast in 'The sad little Story' won for Best tearjerker Movie.

So… he wasn't gonna lie… he was little (ok, ok very) jealous of Nick Payson, for getting a long passionate kiss from Star… well, he got to kiss Star too, but that was like 6 years ago, and she did it because she needed to learn the English language. His eyes clouded, it might've been 6 years ago, but he remembered it like yesterday.

It was a few days after Robin was fired from being Batman's sidekick, he was mad, but he couldn't blame Bruce 'cause he did have Dick's best interest at heart… Nevertheless, he was still fuming. And the scar on shoulder was still pretty raw and painful.

He had just moved to Jump City, because Gotham held just too many memories of his fallen pride. About a few days after he tried the normal citizen thing in Jump, he got a call from a female named Raven to meet her in Pier 14, and to dress in his Robin costume, for she claimed she has an offer a superhero can't refuse. He had been extremely suspicious; no one was supposed to know who Robin was, and yet this strange female who he had never heard of just finds his number, calls one day and drop the bomb that she knew…

But he did what he was told and met her at Pier 14 a few minutes after sundown. And there, Robin saw a mysterious female in a dark blue cape with an even odder company. Robin had suspected an attack and drew out a few disks. The other two in the room, (a big bulky guy with a red eye, and a scrawny kid beside him) eyed the disks warily, but the capped girl had said calmly. 'Victor, Garfield, I think we all know the Boy Wonder?'

The others had just stood there in the darkness. It was pretty dark in the warehouse and all Robin could see was the unmistakable outlines. 'Robin?' a new boyish voice had called out uncertainly.

'Yes Garfield, how many Boy Wonders are there?' the female voice had replied sarcastically.

Richard then remembered saying: 'Um… I supposed to be here right?'

'Yes.'

'Now listen everyone,' Raven had began saying after answering Richard in what appeared to be her usual monotone, 'All of us here have a special power or superpower. Robin, meet Garfield Logan, he's the green guy over here. His specialty is changing into animals. This is Victor Stone; he is half robot, half human. And I am Raven.'

'So… what's your power?' Garfield had asked.

'That's for me to know and you to – ' but she never finished because an explosion and flashing green lights had interrupted her cut her off in mid-sentence.

'What was that?' the voice was new to Robin but he had suspected it belonging to Victor Stone, the only one who hadn't spoken.

Raven had floated outside, followed by Garfield, Victor, and himself. Outside was a battle scene. There were two flying figures chasing a third, who was a blur of green light. There was something smoking on the ground a feet away from them. Then, after a battle cry and a sudden blast of green, two more things dropped down, but this time, they fell in the water. And the one who had been chased landed a few feet away from them, her eyes and hands still glowing green.

Richard remembered immediately going to battle stance, disks in hand. The others didn't move. Suddenly the girl stopped glowing and walked over to them. She had smiled in a way that made Robin drop the battle stance and put away the disks.

Then she began to speak very fast in a language that sounded gibberish.

'Dude, I think she's an alien.' Gar didn't know how right he was.

'We don't understand what you are saying.' Raven had said seemingly unconcerned. 'I don't know if you understand me.'

But the redhead alien seemed to understand. For she walked around all the guys, inspecting them. When she got to him, she had looked at him up and down and, with only a flash from her eye and a quick smile as warning, she had gave him one right across the mouth.

Richard remembered the taste of her tongue inside her mouth and how wide his eyes, and the eyes of Victor and Garfield, had been. He had remembered protesting but soon stopped for he had to admit, he enjoyed it.

After about 30 seconds of the tongue tango, Starfire broke apart and gave each of the others a huge hug that left them all blue in the face, yelling at the top of her lungs: 'Friends! I am Koriand'r… or Starfire. This is a friendly planet, yes?'

'Uh… we're friendly…' Garfield said having recovered the fastest. Robin just stood there gaping at the alien that just tongue tangoed with him.

Then Starfire had said 'Uh… I am truly sorry, about the touching of tongues, for I am a … what would the people of your planet call one similar to myself?'

'We call you um… an alien?' Garfield had asked.

'Yes, perhaps. What are you called?' Starfire rounded on him.

'Well, everyone besides my mentor must call me – '

"Richard! Wake up!" The Starfire not part of his memory snapped him back to the Gotham Amphitheater.

"Huh? Kory… I'm …not asleep…"

"Really? I thought, judging by the closed eyes and the even breathing, one can only assume that you were asleep. Well, the Golden Globes isn't that boring… so why would you feign sleep? Unless – "

"No Kory, I was just think with my eyes closed. I was – " a booming voice interrupted him.

"And, ladies and gentleman, the nominees for actress of the year are:

"Hyden Walsh in 'Teen Titans the movie'.

"Kory Anders in 'A Sad little Story'

"Rachel McAdams in 'Red Eye'

"Dakota Fanning in 'War of the Worlds'

…

"And the winner of this year's Golden Globe is… Kory Anders!"

And the crowd, who seemed to have held its breath, went wild. Richard leaned forward and kissed Kory on the cheek, Kory then stood up, followed by the cameraman, flashes from photographers, and camera phones. She walked up to the stage, got a peck from Ashton Kutcher, accepted the Golden Globe, and presented her 'I'd like thank' speech.

"First and foremost I'd like to thank all my fans out there for supporting me through my career, I love you all, and I wouldn't be here without you. Next I'd like to thank God for giving me such an opportunity, thank you X'hal. Next I'd like to thank the producers for picking me for your movie. Terra Markov, Richard Grayson, Rachel Roth… er Rachel Logan, Garfield Logan, Karen Beecher, Roy Harper, Victor Stone, Garth, and Mas y Meno.For all your help and support through tough times. Thank you." She waved at the crowd and she walked of the stage to her seat, gave the Golden Globe to her manager, Marshall, gave Richard a quick peck, and enjoyed the Eminem performance that followed.

Kory Anders loved the way the wind blew at her hair. She didn't own a motorcycle, but the speedy black one that Richard drove was the bomb. She sighed and put her head against his back. She traced his backbone and his muscles with a slim finger. The dangerous way that he rode his bike… she loved it, it was as if… he had no fear… if the world was play for him. He'd take it dangerously every curve; it was so… well… Kory didn't know how to describe it, but she loved it.

Dick Grayson seem to feel her love as if it radiated off of her no longer orange-y skin, out of her pores. He shivered as he felt Kory's finger trace all that was Nightwing a.k.a. his fine- tuned back. What if she found out? His mind raced with the possibility. But… judging by the way her head still rested on his back, he doubted it.

If Kory and him were gonna be an item and if they were gonna be much more, she was gonna find out sooner or later… he could almost see it happen: he was gonna tell her on their next date, she gets mad and her eyes glow green. Then she gonna yell at him saying how he left her. Then she's gonna dump her drink on top of his head.

OR: she's gonna say 'I missed you, Robbie- poo. I knew you were Richard Grayson all along." and she leans forward for a great, big, smooch. For some odd reason, he highly doubted that was going to be the outcome.

He shook his head to clear the thoughts and then did a fast right to avoid the car he was about to crash into.

"Richard… pay attention to the road or you might just land us in an accident." Kory leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

Richard dimly nodded; his mind still full of Starfire thoughts going through tons and tons of scenarios on what might happen if he told Star who he really was. It really was by a miracle that Kory hadn't figured out who he was. Well… the worst thing that can happen is that Star can bury in a rain of starbolts…

You know… when you think about something while your doing something else, it really speeds up the time. Our Boy Wonder suddenly found himself in front of the gates to the Wayne Manor, with his thoughts solely on the girl that clung onto his back like a lifeline… he suddenly realized just how hard the beautiful Tamaranian was really squishing him. He put his foot down solidly on the ground and told Kory to buzz the intercom.

"Hello?" Alfred's voice answered.

"Alfred, open the gates."

"Right away, Master Dick." And the gates swung open without a creak. Richard drove his bike in and parked it in the garage.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay the night?" Richard asked Kory about a dozen times, but she was busy running her hands through her windswept hair.

"Yea… I have to go back to my hotel. There are things I need to do. And I don't have any clothes if I do stay."

"But… Kory isn't your hotel in Jump City?"

"Yeah…"

"And it will take like 1 hour to get there…"

"So?"

"So… it's late and – and - "

"Oh, Richard stop being such a worry wart, I'll be fine. I'll see you around later, bye!" Kory wouldn't have it. She would go home on her own, and plus she had things and appointment to attend to in the morning. She didn't want to bother Bruce Wayne or the Wayne Manor.

" … All right… bye…" but things didn't feel alright for the Boy Wonder as he watched Kory open the door to her silver SUV and climb in, closing the door behind her. He had an odd feeling at the pit of his stomach that wouldn't leave him alone. That's why, as soon as Kory drove away from the Wayne Manor, he got out his Nightwing costume, put it on, and followed Kory's SUV on his own sleek black motorcycle.

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

The song was blaring from the stereo system in her car. She would've been watching TV on the back of the visor, had she not been the one driving. But she could live with just an old Shakira song at full blast.

Kory was almost reaching the end of Gotham City and she was on a deserted road, dimly lit by overhead lights. A few more minutes she would reach Jump City and she was sure that Jump City's roads would have more life. But now, there was nothing but empty and dark business buildings on either side of her, lining the road.

Her stomach grumbled. She was sort of hungry for she hadn't eaten since the afternoon trip to II Mulino with Richard and a few refreshments at the Golden Globes after party for VIPs only. Of course she was given a ticket or two and invited Richard to come with her. They had spent a good most of the time just sitting and chatting, either with each other or celebrities. They had a brake from the paparazzi, which was a great relief. They've been snapping non-stop ever since she arrived at the awards ceremony riding 85km per hour on a motorcycle… without a helmet… with Richard Grayson.

She could almost see tomorrow headlines… 'Arrives without a helmet on the motorbike of Richard Grayson's' or 'She dumps Nick for Richard'. And poor Richie would be suffering too.

The light in front of her turned red before she could zoom pass the yellow light. So she stopped, though half way through the intersection, and backed up. If she hadn't been a superhero, who believes that a law must be followed no matter how odd the situation could be, she would've drove right through. For this was comical. There were absolutely no cars on the four-way intersection except for her's. Oh she was tempted to drive right through the red light alright, but… she didn't.

Then the lights turned green and she drove on.

The light overhead flickered, was it broken? Then suddenly a shadow leapt from the nearest office building, and landed right in front of her. She did a sharp left to avoid it before stepping the brakes. What the…

There was a dark figure in the process of standing up right in front of her. Then it threw something that spun at her. Kory had enough sense to swiftly unbuckle her seatbelt and dive under the dashboard as pieces of glass that used to be her windshield ran down on her.

She blasted the door open as fast as she could and flew out, eyes looked on the black shadow that had attacked her. She clenched her fists and formed a starbolt for each of her hands, eyes glowing bright green to match.

"No time, no see huh, cutie?" a voice reached her, faint, but familiar.

"Red… X…?" before she could register what happened a huge x flew at her and pinned her to the office building behind her.
