Chapter 6: A Fight Gone Wrong

Richard sat on the bench and looked for Kori. He was ready to yell and scream at her. Make her feel horrible, like he did everyday. He had to take his anger out on her, right now, he was feeling funny, and he just needed to get rid of that feeling… so, as usual he was stupid and wanted to take his anger and confusion out on Kori.

Finally, he spotted her. But, when he looked at her, she looked, so, sad. Kori was wearing a green shirt, and black pants. She was being a mix of her two best friends. 'What a baby,' Richard thought. I mean, he lost his friends too, except for the annoying ones but he wasn't moping.

He smirked and stood up straightening out his shirt. He was going to make her feel worse. He looked back up to Kori and walked closer. But as he walked he couldn't help but over hear all of the kid's remarks about how horrible Kori was. And how stupid she was for letting her friends get hurt. And he also noticed, light tears streaming down her cheeks, acting as if, it was her fault. She was taking all of their insults and not saying anything back.

Richard found himself getting mad. How dare they make fun of Kori! He told them! It was his job! And his job only!

Finally, he appeared in front of her. A scowl on his face. "What the hell, Kori!"

Kori's eyes widened as she looked up to him abruptly. "What?" she whispered.

"Why the hell do you let them treat you like that?" he screamed staring at her through his sunglasses.

"Why do you care!" she sobbed.

"I care because I'm the only one allowed to treat you like shit!"

"Since when is it your job?"

Richard fell silent for a second. Maybe that wasn't the reason he was angry… Maybe… it was something else… something he didn't know about.

"I… I…"

"Since you found out that I was being picked on! Since you found out I was alone in the world! Since you became smart!"

"Hey! I've been smart for a long time!"

"Don't! Just shut up and leave me be!" With that said Kori ran off into the school, crying the whole way.

Maybe… maybe he was angry for the same reason he was confused…

But that couldn't be right. He hated Kori. 'I hate her. Shoot! I know I hate her! But this would have never happened if… if that villain didn't get away! I know I shouldn't've comforted her! So… it's her fault… it's all her fault…'

Richard walked behind her. He was going to have to have a little… talk with Kori… after school today.

----------

Kori sat on her bed, clutching a pillow close to her chest, tears spilling down her cheeks. Rachel. Garfield. They were gone. They weren't here anymore… and they never would come back… her friends… only friends. 'Just like Garth…' she thought, more tears spilling from her eyes. 'I'm sorry… so sorry Garth, mother, father, Ryan, Koma… I couldn't… I couldn't help you…'

Knock, knock!

Kori looked up from the bed and to where the knock was. Her window. She got up and looked out and there was Robin, waving trying to stay up. He was mouthing the words, "Let me in!" She quickly wiped her tears and opened the window for him so he could step through.

When he was in he shut the window behind him and started to dust off his outfit of stop light colors. "Why are you here?" Kori whispered still trying to wipe more tears from her face.

Robin stopped dusting and looked at her remembering why he was here in the first place.

"Why did you come?" she asked louder this time.

He needed to find the courage.

'Find it!' He told himself.

"Why are you here?" she screamed it now.

He finally found it.

He took a deep breath. "I came to tell you something very important."

"What is it?"

Here goes nothing.

"I came to tell you that neither I nor Batman can protect you when you are in trouble." There, he said it.

"What?"

"Since you assisted in the release of a villain we have no choice but to stop protecting you, in caution. We are just being safe so no other villain gets away because of you."

"But it's not my fault!"

"If it wasn't for you, Ms. Anders, your friends would be find now, so please, we are not permitted to protect you anymore."

"But you're Batman and Robin! You're supposed to protect the city! What will I do if I'm in a bind?"

"You must save yourself."

"But what if it's too much for me to handle? What if I can't save myself?"

"If it comes to that, I will assist you."

"But what if I'm dead before you get there? What will you say to the press then? I can just picture it: 'Batman! Why could you not help Ms. Anders?' 'Well, she released a criminal, she is a criminal, and therefore she has no need to be protected.' 'But Batman! She has no criminal record!'"

Robin was at a loss for words.

"What would happen then? You'd be shunned by society! Just as I have been! And you wouldn't be the famous Robin and Batman! You'd be the people who killed a girl!"

Robin snapped.

"We can't protect you and that's final!" With that he slammed open the window, jumped out of it, and slammed it shut running away from the house.

Kori collapsed on her knees breathing heavily, her chest heaving up and down. 'What if I'm hurt?' She climbed back up on her bed holding her pillow again.

'It wasn't my fault he got away though. I was just scared… I needed help then. He didn't have to stay and help me… but he did… causing the villain to get away. And yet, he still blames it all on me… every single thing. Even when I didn't do anything. Not a single thing. He still shunned me. How could I think Robin, the Boy Wonder, was different? How could I think that a cocky brat like him could really help me? Who was I kidding? It is my fault… my entire fault…'

A painful blow to her head interrupted her thoughts. And because of that blow she fell to the floor, on her knees clutching the back of her head, tears still spilling from her eyes.

She turned around to face her attacker. And her eyes widened.

"ROBIN!"
