Two days had passed since Kori and Roy had been staying at the tower with the titans.
"Roy, do you HAVE to leave? I mean, I don't wanna sound like Malibu Barbie over there," Kori whined as she gestured her head towards Supergirl, "But can you please stay with me? At least for another day? This is going to be my first night with them without you by my side! In case you haven't forgotten, me and them have a ton of catching up to do, and they ARE going to have a lot of questions for me!"
Speedy looked behind him, glancing at the titans who were preparing to bid farewell to him for his departure. The helicopter waiting for him began to twirl its propellers, making her hair dance wildly in front of her face.
"Don't worry Kor, I'll make sure to call you every night, kay?"
"But-"
"No buts, Kor. I love you," and with that he kissed her smoothly on the lips. "Now you and Richard TRY to get along. I'll be back in twomonths and then we'll go back home to our apartment."
"So you mean you're asking my friends to babysit me?"
Speedy chuckled at her cute pout. "Just try to bare with it. They miss you , Kor. You need to spend time with them. I'll have the luggage from the hotel be delivered to you in a couple of days."
"But-"
He tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. "Again, I love you, and don't be flirting with all of Jump City's boys now, kay?" He then focused his gaze on his best friend, who seemed a little too ticked. "Um, I think you better get back to Nightie over there. Is he angry with you or something?"
"Huh?"
She turned around and saw Supergirl trying to sooth a red faced Nightwing and calm him down by slapping his back. She giggled at the sight and pointed it out to Speedy, who chuckled at the sight.
"I'd better be going now," he sighed. "Bye Kor."
She watched dreamily as he climbed into the helicopter, and following it until it rose to the air.
"Love you, Kori!" he bellowed at the top of his lungs.
She smiled softly to herself. Roy cared so much about her; she knew that he would do anything in the world for her happiness. If only she knew he wasn't the only man who loved her that much.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
BEEEEP, BEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEP!
"Goooooooooooooood Mooorrrrrning Jump City!"
Kori sat upright in her bed and screamed at the top of her lungs, "GOOD MORNING WORLD!"
She slipped out of her bed and put on a casual attire. Meanwhile, every titan in the living room could hear her voice.
Beastboy took a second to look up from admiring Raven's face. "Dude, that NEVER gets old."
"Darn right it doesn't!"
They all looked towards the high-pitched, feminine voice to find Starfire in a "casual attire". Her hair was curled and her straight locks were now ringlets, with a flower behind her ear. She was wearing a pink laced, V-neck camisole and a black mini skirt that was about the same size as her old uniform skirt, along with a pair of pink sneakers.
"How do I look?"
The titans were speechless, including Supergirl. Robin was just trying too hard not to stare at her too long.
"Dude! Star, you look hot!"
A black aura shaped like a hand smacked Beastboy's head. "Yeah, what's the special occasion?"
She examined her surroundings. Raven was sitting across Beastboy by the breakfast nook, Cyborg and Bumblebee were STILL chomping down on their "meat and eggs", and Barbie and Nightwing were curled up on the couch, with Supergirl's head resting on his chest as she smirked smugly towards Starfire.
"Nothing really, just…going to train, that's all. I think I forgot to mention that I have been training a lot since I left? Oh well, whatever. I just try not to use my powers anymore, that's all."
"Okay, whatever girl. Just don't kill yourself like the 'next karate kid' over here," Bee said smirking at Richard as she continued to stuff this time pancakes in her mouth, desperate to beat her boyfriend for the hundredth time that morning.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
She stared dumbly at the punching bag. 'This is ridiculous,' she thought to herself. She suddenly began to punch the bag absentmindedly, not even noticing that it had already fallen from the ceiling after the first two hits. Falling over after realizing there was nothing but open air in her way, she rubbed her head from the impact of the fall.
"That was too easy," she murmured to herself. "I wonder if they still have the old combat training thingy."
Racing down the stairs to find what she was looking for, she squealed lightly. She pressed the buttons down gently. She remembered what training was like before she left. They used to have so much fun together- all before Supergirl came. She was cut off by her thoughts when about a dozen robots came at her at hyper speed.
"Eeeek!"
Meanwhile, Richard stepped out from the bushes and stood to watch Kori fight the robots.
'Pfffft, there's no WAY she can beat that. Humph! Even I haven't beaten that!' He continued to watch her closely as the battle course began.
Kori looked at the deadly machines with a petrified look, but soon it was replaced by a smirk.
"Let's do this."
Glancing from the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of black rattling in the bushes. She grinned. "You know, NIGHTWING, if you wanted to watch me train, you could've just asked."
He climbed out hastily from the bush and crossed his arms. "I did NOT come here to watch you, I-"
She turned suddenly and gave him a smug look. "Just shut up and watch Grayson."
She charged at them with full speed, taking out two daggers from her sides. A dagger was shot straight into two of the machines' cores as she pulled them out again swiftly, gracefully spinning into an endless chain of somersaults to dodge the laser beams that shot right for her. She stopped shortly to get a breath. Just as a robot came right behind her, she immediately swung her right leg backwards effortless, denting the useless piece of technology it was now.
Nightwing was shocked. He never knew Starf- Kori had the guts to play with knives. She had indeed gotten very skilled since the last time they met. He continued to observe her as she jumped up and twirled her legs together, then trampling the last of the combat robots.
All of a sudden, a green light began to surround her.
"No, not this again…NO!"
Nightwing dashed from behind the control panel and rushed over to her aid quickly.
"Starf-KORI! What's going on? Here, let me-" He reached out to touch the glowing girl, only for her to inch farther away from him.
"No," she whispered weakly, now down on her knees. "Don't touch me. You'll get burnt."
"But Kori…I have to help you! You can't just-"
"Yes I CAN. This…(groans)…has happened to me before. I just need to control myself."
Not even knowing that she had started hovering in the air, she hugged her knees.
"Control yourself, Starfire. Control yourself, Kori. Contr-"
Nightwing gasped as he saw a green explosion burst out in the air, hearing her words being cut off with a shriek of pain. There was a sudden force that knocked him down.
"Arrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!"
The green aura was mysteriously whisked away suddenly by the wind and her limp figure began to descend daintily at the start, but increasingly drifted down from the sky, getting ready to plunge down into the Earth. Nightwing scrambled to his feet and charged, hurling himself in the air as he caught her in his arms.
"Kori? Wake up!"
He cradled her in his arms as he heard Cyborg's metal feet clanking upon the rocky path. Raven and Beastboy appeared from under the ground, inside a black bubble, as Supergirl followed lazily behind Cyborg, not even bothering to run.
"She needs help!"
Raven looked at him incrediculessly. "Thanks for the notice Captain Obvious! Now Cyborg, prepare the medical wing right away. Beastboy, I want you to get all the things ready on this list. And Robin," she ordered, looking around to find him with Supergirl clinging onto his arm for dear life, as if She was the one who had just suffered Starfire's trauma just now. "…Just…get HER away from me before I explode," she continued, pointing to Supergirl who was already turning back to the tower to run for her life.
Nightwing looked at her anxiously. "But I wanna help! Just let me do it this one time, I promise-"
She glared at him with fury, her two extra eyes appearing. "You. Can't. HELP! I know you want to try, but you don't even know what happened to her just then, do you?"
His eyes met her angry ones. "Maybe I DON'T. But if you tell me, MAYBE I can FIND OUT!"
"NIGHTWING!" she yelled exasperated, "Do you even know why she did that? The emotions that she had kept bottled up inside of her finally broke out! That means that she literally exploded because of how much trauma she's been trying to hide all this time! Its called an emotional outburst. You probably didn't know that either, did you? Do you even know how much she's been hurting these past two years?" She watched him as he looked down with shame, hanging his head and resting it on his chest.
"Well, I DO! I could feel her, Dick. That's right, I could feel her all the way from New York. I've shared all of her emotions, and all of her feelings- "all" means when she was hurt, when she was lonely, and even while she was falling in love with Roy!"
Her gaze on him softened as Nightwing saw a side of her that he had never seen before. Pity and Sympathy. Not for him, for Kori. She avoided his gaze but finally looked at him before turning back to the tower with sad eyes in gloomy disbelief.
"You're never really going to realize how much you hurt her…will you?"
When she received only silence, she turned her back on him and began on her way stiffly back to aid her friend, as Nightwing sighed sullenly in defeat.
