" Kori." Her friend tapped her lightly. She came out of her day dream and looked at the clock. Her physics class had just ended and she couldn't remember the forty five minutes.

" Thanks." Kori laughed and smiled at her friend embarrassed. As she stood up to leave. She checked her phone and sure enough there was a text.

'Your class is taking too long. I have twenty minutes left of lunch. I'm waiting outside. Please hurry, I can't wait to see you.'

She smiled. They had been officially together for three months and she still blushed when he texted and she knew him so well.

She dashed out of her class and down the stairs to the front of science building on the University of Gotham's campus. It was a prestigious school and Kori was lucky enough to be accepted.

She saw him leaning against the side of the building in a suit, in mid-sip of a cup of coffee. Her favorite kind was in his other hand. He looked so put together, and so handsome.

" Hello." She said walking up to him. He took the coffee cup down from his lips and smiled. He bent down and kissed her cheek.

"Hey."

" How long do we have?" Meeting her after classes had become a normal routine.

" I have about twelve minutes."

She mentally laughed. He was always so precise.

They had a lot of fun together but there was still some walls that had to come down on both sides. She had tried to once, but made it clear that there were some topics that he wasn't ready to reveal.

He slipped his fingers through hers and made their way to the PA building, which was where her next class.

" So you said tonight does not work?" She confirmed.

" Unfortunately not, business." He used the word business loosely because it wasn't Wayne Enterprises, but Bat Man and Robin has business.

Kori still didn't know about that part of his life. He made sure of that. She was special and he couldn't put her in danger.

" Okay." He could hear the disappointment in her voice, even though she had on a smile.

" I'll call you later though, I promise." They sat on a bench for a few moments talking, when Richard felt his cell phone vibrate. He pulled it out and saw that it was Bat Man.

" Jonathan out. On Gotham Campus. Meet ASAP."

His heart stopped. He had tried to avoid this situation. He has his suit in his car, but had to leave without Kori finding out and then also without her thinking that he was a coward.

A gunshot was heard and Kori jumped. He grabbed her hand and pulled her inside the nearest building.

" I'm going to help the police. Whatever you do, stay here." He said holding her by the shoulders. Before she could protest he went off running to his car.

Kori was stunned. He seemed to be in control and know what was going on, while she was terrified.

Richard jumped in his car and ripped out his suit, turned his windows black and changed. This car was designed to give more room. He raced out of the car. He raced to where the crowd was flocking. He arrived and saw Jonathan with a gun in hand and Bat Man staring him down.

" Hey Bird Boy." Jonathan sneered, " nice of you to make it."

"I will say it one more time. No." Bat Man said through a tight mouth.

" Are you seriously still asking to join the team?" Robin gave a sarcastic laugh, " You stand there, across us with gun in hand and that is going to persuade us?" Jonathan glared,

" You want me to be the bad guy? I'll be the bad guy." He took of running across campus, shooting one bullet with out looking, luckily it didn't hit anyone, as soon as Robin saw that every one was safe, he pursued.

He saw him run straight which led directly to the PA Building.

Jonathan ran in and took a minute to catch his breath. He had a few moments ahead of Robin. He looked around to see what kind of building he ran into, when he saw a girl in the corner. She was tall, thin, red hair, big green eyes, and a body that he was into. He stood up a little taller, changing his mission from causing Robin trouble to causing her trouble.

Kori felt terrified. She met his eyes and knew that he was either going to come to her or she would stand up to him.

" Hey." He said, with a cocky grin.

" Don't touch me." She said, standing up, and her confidence faltered as he walked slowly toward her. He made his way to her, seeing her tremble as he came close. As he reached his arm up to touch her face he was pushed aside by force.

Kori watched in amazement as Robin shoved him away and and then grabbed hi by the collar.

" Stay away from her." He said through his teeth. Jonathan looked in his eyes and a realization came over him. He looked at Kori and then at Robin, and saw the concern on his face, and noted it was more than usual. He grinned larger and Robin had a flash of fear, but before anything more could go, Bat Man came in, surrounded by police who took him immediately away. Bat Man nodded towards Robin, as if to go.

" Thank you!" Kori said as Robin made his way out the door, his back still facing her, he answered,

" Your welcome." He muttered.

" What happened?" Bat Man asked.

" He touched her." Robin was so angered, that his voice was flat, and Bat Man didn't push it.

" You should get back to her, go change. I'll see you at home." That was all he had to say, because Robin disappeared to change back into Richard.

Richard fixed his collar as he raced back to where he knew Kori would be. She was on a bench outside, head in hands.

" Hey, babe." He said racing over to her, sitting by her, taking her in his arms. Feeling safe in his arms she let out the fear she felt by crying. He held her for a few minutes. He led her up, arms still around her, as he lead her to his car. As he put her in, she calmed down.

He began to drive as she let out a quiet 'thank you.'

" Your welcome." He let that sink in. " I'm just grateful that you are safe."

" Thanks to Robin." She said his name with awe, and Richard never thought that he would be jealous of Robin.

" I am too."

" Walker was just so, so, so, " she paused, " close. His eyes, they made it seem like he want to," she broke off. Richard was so glad she didn't finish that sentence.

" Well," he said," placing a hand on her knee, " you are safe now, and with me." She smiled at him and place her hand on his.

" I am."

He pulled up at her apartment and then went to open her door and take her inside.
