Disclaimer: For the rest of the story, I don't own anything! And I will be writing like this!
Dick
Kori bit her straw and I watched as Babs scooted a chair up to our table. Wasn't it just awkward having your crush and your ex at the same damn table?
"Hey, Kori!" Babs said with a little too much enthusiasm.
I had expected a fight between the two, but they just talked. I mean things were tense but...hey! As long as they weren't clawing out each others eyes out I was good. Kori rolled her eyes at some of the things Babs said and I couldn't blame her.
"So where are you from?" Babs searched her face.
"Is it really that obvious?" Kori asked looking down at the floor.
I looked out the window as they talked about school or something. It was raining again. Typical. I was kind of pissed at Babs for crashing me and Kori's time together.
Since there was nothing else to do as the girls um "bonded" I just had a brain dump.
I thought about how Wally and the others were doing back at the manor. Wally, Gar and Vic were probably eating up all the food. As for the others? They most likely left.
I heard Kori's voice asking me something and I nodded dumbly, not paying any attention. Hey, whatever she said I agreed to it. I still couldn't believe her parents died. It happens to the best of us.
I daydreamed about me and Kori going to the carnival in a week. Me feeding her cotton candy, if she let me. Holding her hand. Fireworks and maybe a kiss...
"Is that the Dick Grayson?" some fan girl asked. She was working behind the counter.
"Great," I muttered and quit my window trance to face the girl who said my name.
It was an ebony haired girl. Nice chest and ass but you know, Kori's are bigger.
I stood up, putting a twenty on the table. "C'mon Kori. Let's go."
In that moment, Babs looked like a lost puppy.
"You don't remember me do you, you asshole?"
No, I couldn't say that I did. Was this one of the girls who took a picture of me and instantly thought we were friends or-
"Are these your girlfriends?" the Starbucks employee asked me.
One of them, I wish. The other one, ex. But I just chose a simple answer.
"No."
Kori stood up checking her phone for the time. Shit, we still have to go to the hospital for her brother.
"Listen we have to go. Bye, Babs." I said taking Kori's hand walking towards the exit.
Babs got up too, I guess trying to leave the crazy Starbucks lady. Everybody was looking our way as we walked quickly out of Starbucks. I can't believe this bitch followed us outside. Screaming curse words at us.
"Let me give a little advice for you two girls. Never sleep with him or any rich, handsome guy."
"He has an STD or something?" Babs asked worryingly.
Why was she worried? I wasn't going to have sex with her, period. I was really worried for this lady's answer. There were some paparazzi gathering around us and Bruce wouldn't want me here. We had to go. Now.
"I wish," The lady rolled her eyes,"He told me 'I was the only one he has ever really loved'."
Uh-oh.
She faced towards the camera,"'That no one else in the world could make me feel like this'." She used quotation marks with her fingers.
Please don't.
"WE HAD SEX!" she screamed towards the cameras in the parking lot. To Kori and Babs. To the whole fucking world. "And I was willing to look pass those playboy ways. We had sex. I was his whore for free. I thought he loved me but the next morning he kicked me out of his god damned house. He just took away my virginity and-" She paused and chuckled darkly.
The lady was livid. I had to get the fuck out of here.
"Mister Grayson! Is this true?"
"What happened next Grayson!"
"Dick! Over here!"
"I love you!"
"Can I get an autograph?!"
"I bet you can't even remember my fucking name," she hissed.
Lucy? It had to start with an "L" or something.
I stormed me and Kori to the car and took off. I was expecting a trail of cars behind us. I saw Babs leading them off in another direction. I would've smiled at her kindness but, right now?

Kori was silent the whole ride to the hospital. I was gripping the steering wheel harder than I thought. This was definatly going to be on the news.
Her auburn hair covered her face as she leaned against the window. It wasn't until we pulled up at the parking lot that she said something.
"You know, you don't have to come in. Thanks for the ride," she muttered the last part.
I was speechless. I nodded my head glumly, picking up her hint. So much for going to the carnival. I shook my head, ruefully.
Gar
"C'mon, Rae! Can't you just, I don't know, hang out with me for an hour or two? I won't do anything stupid!" I begged in the front seat of her convertible.
"The plan was for me to drive you home. End of story. And don't call me Rae." she warned me again.
"Pretty please, with scary things on top!" I pleaded brushing my green tips from my blonde bangs out of my face.
"No."
I dug around, in my pocket and got two pieces of gum and in the other one I grabbed my phone.
"I guess I'm just going to have to text Terra to hang out with me then," I teased.
I waved the phone in the air. She tensed up before making a U-turn.
"Woah, I thought I told you my house was in the other direction."
"I know where your house is. And I know where the mall is,too."
"So we're going to the mall!" I said excitingly.
She smirked,"Just shut up already." She held out her palm.
Did she want a high five? Oh-no. She was going to smack me, wasn't she? I flinched and braced myself.
"Give me some gum." she ordered.
I did as I was told. I gave her a piece and I popped a piece into my mouth.
"What were you doing?" she asked.
"I thought you were gonna smack me, again," I turned pink from embarrassment.
"I only smack you when there's a reason to. Besides my and kind of hurts," she shook her hand around and I laughed.
I could tell hanging out with Rachel was going to be a blast.
Kori
I walked up to the front desk of the santitzer smelling hospital, where Galfore was waiting for me like he promised. He was dressed in some baggy blue jeans and a button down, red and black shirt.
"We're here to see Ryan Anders," I heard his raspy voice speak.
"Oh, yes if you could wait about five minutes. The doctor will call you to come in. I just need you to sign here saying that you are eighteen years or older and that you will be living in the same house hold as the patient. Until, of coarse, they become of age," The lady with brown hair said.
I looked at the tag.
"Thanks July," I said and me and Galfore walked into the waiting room.
Galfore was busy writing his signature on the papers so I picked up a magazine and began to flip through it. It just so happened to be one of those Teen Magazines for fourteen year olds to see if a guy likes you.
Even though I was seventeen, I eagerly turned the page. It had hearts and pinks and reds which reminded me of both Valentines Day and Kitten:
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR CRUSH IS INTO YOU:
1) If he is, like, super duper shy around you
2) He buys you presents sometimes (chocolate,flowers,etc.)
3) Does waffle fingers when holding your hand
4) Tucks your hair behind your ear
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR CRUSH ISN'T INTO YOU:
1) He cancels any dates at the last minute
2) He spends way too much time with his ex
3) He brakes promises
4) If he texts apologies over and over
I felt this wave of guiltiness that Richard fit most of the second list. I mean, he does talk to Babs a lot and he did text me that he was sorry. But that doesn't mean anything. One should not get caught up in such foolishness... That doesn't mean you can't take a picture of the page to look back at it for future references.
I looked over at my uncle who was still writing signatures on the last few pages. I texted Rachel.
Kori: Hey Rachel! Wyd?
She responded a minute later.
Rachel: Hanging with Gar. Why?
Kori: Just asking? Gar? :0
Rachel: This doesn't mean anything.
Kori: Sure... ;)
Rachel: Don't tell anyone else :/
Kori: Fine lol
"Galfore Anders?" the doctor called us from the stain glass door.
We both stood up and walked towards the entrance. Galfore's long brownish gray and red hair swished from side to side as we walked. He cut it so that he was nearly bald. His hair used to be all the way down his back. Now, it was at his chin which was still pretty long.

"Kori? Galfore?" Ryan asked sitting on the hospital bed. "Yes! I'm finally gonna get out of this dress!"
"Hush up or I'm going to have to give you more medicine," the nurse hissed.
What type of children's nurse was this? Ryan stopped talking and gulped.
The lady turned around and stuck a fake smile on her face,"My name's Angel." She shook both of our hands.
"If you'll just follow me and I'll show you his medication and his condition."
Galfore walked to the nurse's desk. I,however, walked towards Ryan.
"Greetings, Ry!" I said hugging him. I made sure not to hug him too hard. I also made sure I didn't mention anything about our parents or Komi. I did not wish to hurt him even more.
"Kori!" he said drawing out the last syllable. He pushed me away lightly before laughing. I thought he was going to be in a worst condition. He was wearing a black neck brace and a cast but that was it. Nonetheless, I'm so happy to see him. Alive.
"So, Kor, where's Mom and Dad and Koma?" Ryan asked eagerly.
I'm so sorry I was away for so long. And poor Richard! I can't believe Linda or Leslie or whatever is back! In za next chappie we'll see Rachel and Gar hanging out and some other stuff too ^.^
