Okay, I don't think the writers know what we want. Kori and Dick were in a car together and we DID NOT GET A SCENE. What is up with that?

Well, I wrote it.

Enjoy!

Happy Reading!


With everyone gathered in the living area, Kori found herself slightly defeated. The Kori of two years ago would have called out Dick for his idiocy. Turn themselves in? It's a whole new level of stupid that Kori distinctly recalls Dick pulling about a year ago when he was overcome with guilt for Jericho's "death".

But only because Barbara is the commissioner, and Dick seems to think she can help them, the Titans have no choice but to agree with Dick. And Kori absolutely hated it. She knew Connor and Gar would follow Dick with whatever he had to say, but what surprised her more was Kom's agreeing. But that is a whole different issue Kori is dealing with.

All too soon, Dick is driving down the busy city streets of Gotham heading towards GCPD. Kom, Connor, Krypto, and Gar were in a separate vehicle following them close behind. Kori wasn't sure why she chose to drive with Dick, but the uncomfortable silence settled between them is making her reconsider her decision.

Kori tries to remember the last time they were truly alone, and she can't seem to remember.

"You're quiet." Dick says. He glances in her direction before focusing back on the road.

Kori side eyes him, her green eyes slightly coming ablaze before looking back out the window, watching the tall buildings of Gotham passing by.

"It's not like my opinion matters, so why speak."

Dick's face scrunches in confusion, "What are you talking about? You know I-"

She turns to him, "You what? Value my opinion? Ask me if what we're doing is the best decision? Even think to consider how I may feel about all of this?" She scoffs. "Please. Save me the story, Grayson."

"Hey!" Dick abruptly pulls over on the highway and shifts the truck into park. "What are you talking about?" He turns to her, giving her his undivided attention.

"You're kidding me right?" She throws her hands in frustration. "Dick, where the hell have you been?" her voice raw with emotion.

His heart sinks. Could she really be that mad at him for the plan? Or was is something else? He can see her usually joyous green eyes didn't shine the same. Her natural bouncy curls were flat and lifeless. And her attitude as a whole was not Kori.

"I-I" what could he say. She isn't wrong. The second he got back to Gotham he became 'Dick Grayson, son of Batman.' And the Detroit cop who went rogue was gone, replaced by this old version of Dick no one wanted.

Kori lets out a deep breath and sinks back into her seat. "Look, I only agreed to this plan because everyone else seems to trust your judgment on the situation."

Dick nods in understanding, afraid to say anything else.

"But I don't."

Dick huffs in frustration, running his gloved hand through his dark hair, "Trust the plan? Kori, it's a bit late to question a plan that is already in motion!"

"That's not all, Dick." Her eyes blazing with fury. She leans forward, making Dick fall back slightly towards the door.

Oh Shit.

"You walked up into Wayne Manor talking about making decisions as a family. A fucking family?! You have no idea what any of us are going through. You haven't been around since Hank died!"

Kori can't help the angry tears gathering in her eyes, she just hopes she can keep them at bay. She will not let him see her cry.

"And it's no fair, you made this decision with Barbara. She isn't even a Titan, Dick!"

The fight leaves Dick completely. Kori is right. As always. If he had the energy to chuckle, he would. What a complete asshole he's been neglecting his own team because of who he used to be here in Gotham.

"You're right. I should have included you, and the team, in the conversation before even approaching the possibility of doing this."

Kori crosses her arms, still not believing him. "That's it, I'm 'right'?"

Dick grins, finally feeling the tension start to dissipate. "Yup."

Kori scoffs, "Whatever. When this plan goes sideways, make sure to include me in the next ridiculous plan you come up with."

"I promise." And he means it.

Kori looks him up and down before sighing in content.

"We'll see."

She didn't want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Even without Rachel here to tell them something will go wrong, Kori knew driving down to GCPD is going to be a disaster.

She just hopes it something they can all handle.
