Chapter 4: No...
"Mommy! Ella is being mean!" exclaimed the young girl as she went to hide behind Kori's legs.
Richard looked as if he was going to explode. 'This was her girl? Who is the father? Wait...there was that one night...' thought Richard.
"Roxanne honey. Ella won't be mean anymore," Kori said. Looking at Karen, "Right?"
"Yeah got it covered," murmured Karen as she went into the playroom.
" Roxanne I suggest that you go back too honey," said Kori as she gave her daughter a kiss on her check.
"OK..." Roxanne happily skipped to the playroom.
Once she was gone, "So ummm...she's your girl?"
"Richard..." started Kori.
"We'll leave you both alone," said Victor as he and the others left the room.
After a moment of silence, "So is she your girl?" asked Richard.
Kori looked at the floor then murmured, "Yeah."
"I never thought that..."
"Richard, I'm sorry..."
"Why are you sorry? I should be saying sorry!"
"What?"
"I thought that you had another man's kid but I was wrong. She's mine, isn't she?"
Kori gasped with horror at Richard's words. He thought Roxanne was his daughter? "Uh Richard actually..." At that moment, a man with messed up black hair and bluish-green eyes came into the room. Xavier...
Richard looked at the man with shock. Who was this man? He looked at Kori who just looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry but I thought that this would be the right time," said Xavier.
"What do you mean right time? Who are you?" demanded Richard.
"I'm sorry but you might know me as Red X, bird boy."
"X..."
"Xavier! Please let me tell him," said Kori.
"Kor no I need to tell him." Xavier insisted.
"No I need to.."
"No you don't..."
"Who are you to Kori?" asked Richard as he clashed his teeth in anger.
"Well bird boy if you are so interested, I am her husband!" Xavier said with as much anger as the next guy.
"WHAT! Kori is married to you? Starfire is married to Red X? So that girl..."
"Isn't yours," finished Kori. She closed her eyes tightly and remembered when she was with Robin.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to bed?" asked Robin in his most gentle voice.
"Yes Robin I am sure. However I am grateful for your kindness. This is a way of affection on earth, no?" asked Starfire as both of them were sitting on the couch snuggled up to eachother.
"Yes it is Star."
"Robin will you promise me something?"
"What Star?"
"Promise me that you will stay with me forever."
"Oh Star. I would die for you. I promise."
"Thank you." Starfire snuggled into Robin's embrace and slowly drifted to sleep.
"Kori, I thought you..." Richard started.
"At one point I did love you, but..." Kori turned away as tears pooled in her eyes.
"She couldn't 'Nightwing' because you cheated on her!" Xavier couldn't hold his anger anymore.
"I what? When? How? And how do you know my name?" Richard asked trying to look puzzled.
"Don't give me that look bird boy. You know exactly what I am talking about. When that Babs came to join the Titans, you had quite the fun!"
Richard's eyes widened at his words. Kori knew about Babs? How?
Kori immedately turned around and wiped the tears from her eyes. "What Robin? You are wondering how I found out? What do you think I was? A naive little..."
"Kori I never knew..." Richard looked down ashamed.
"Huh? You never knew? Do you remember the last day of the Titans? You talked to me on the roof? I said that I didn't love you because I found out about you and Babs!"
"Kori you knew that I loved you didn't you? Babs is the one who..."
"Stop it! I don't want to hear anything from you!" Kori closed her eyes as another flashback came into her mind.
Ever since Barbara Gordon, Robin's past girlfriend, came to join the Titans, Robin had never spent time with Starfire anymore. Determined to talk to Robin about this, Starfire walked to Robin's room. Once she arrived at the entrance of his room, she heard silent moans. Starfire's eyes widened at the thought. To make sure she wasn't hearing things, Starfire quickly went around the outside of the Tower to Robin's window. She hid behind the frame and watched attentively.
"Babs no..." Robin said breathlessly.
"Don't worry Robin. Starfire won't ever find out," said Barbara.
"No! I don't want..." Robin was interrupted by a forceful kiss.
Starfire gasped and flew right away onto the roof. She couldn't hold back her tears. Why did he do this? Didn't he love me? She cried and cried as hard as she could. What she didn't notice was someone watching her right from the roof. The figure went and put a hand on Starfire's shoulder. She immediately turned around and saw a person she would least expect. Red X. She took his hand away from her shoulder and turned around.
"I heard he cheated on you cutie," he said.
"Why would you care? You are merely a thief," said Starfire angrily.
"That you are wrong. I am not a thief but a hero and I care for you."
"Why do you care?"
"Because I...love you."
Starfire immediately tuned around to see his masked face. "You love me?"
"I loved you the moment I saw you and now it's not lust."
"I don't know what to say..."
"Well you could say that you..." he was interrupted by an embrace full of compassion. He looked down at the girl. Her red hair, her closed eyes...
"I love you Red X."
Red X's eyes widened at her words. He thought it was a dream but it was not. Red X leaned down and kissed Starfire. Starfire's eyes widened at first then she closed it. She knew even if he was a thief at first, he would never abandon her.
"X, promise you will stay with me," said Starfire as he put Starfire on the floor who was half asleep.
"Starfire, I will never leave you. Even if it killed me..." with that he left his Starfire on the floor and left the scene.
" I will never leave you..."
Kori opened her eyes and felt compassion flow through her. Red X had never cheated on her. He always protected her, unlike the person infront of her. "Richard, you will never show your face infront of me again!" Kori went angrily out of the common room. However, no one sensed that silent tears were flowing down her eyes.
"Starfire..."
That's it! Please review! Is this story a shock to most of you out there? Or is it what you were expecting? See ya till next time.
