XOXO

"Smells great." Richard said leaning against the archway of Kori's kitchen. She was draining spaghetti in the sink as she smiled and replied,

" Since our last Italian dinner was a mess, I thought we should have a re-do." Richard tried to suppress the feelings of guilt and fear as he thought about it. He ignored the pain he felt knowing that she could be in danger, and that it could be his fault. He changed the subject.

" So, are midterms coming up?" They continued the conversation long after their plates were bare. While Richard offered to clean up the kitchen, Kori went to find a movie that they could watch, but she couldn't decide. Richard sat on the couch and puller her into his arms.

" I could not decide on a movie." She whispered in his embrace.

" I am just fine with this." He said, silently admitting that he was falling quickly for her. As he glanced out the window, enjoying the view of the city, he saw the Bat Sign light up. He mentally cursed. The phone in his pocket started vibrating.

" Everything alright?" She asked, sitting up, feeling his body tense.

"Yeah, um," he said pulling out his phone, and it was flashing the Bat Sign. " It's the office, they mentioned that they might, be um, needing me." He stood up, " I better go and see what they need. I'll call you tomorrow." He kissed her cheek and bolted out the door. As he raced through the streets in his car he kept replaying the way he left. He lied straight to her face and he had a feeling that she knew.

Kori stood there, stunned. Richard just stood up and walked out. He had never mentioned that work might be calling, and usually he was always communicating his work schedule. She was confused about what had just happened.

" Took you long enough." Bat Man said, as he was in full suit and got into the Bat Mobile. Richard changed into his as he apologized. As he put on the suit he mentally turned into Robin, forcing himself to forget about earlier. As they dove to where the action was, it was complete silence.

The trouble were leftover groupies from the Joker. The team had taken him down recently, but some of his followers went into hiding and decided to cause havoc when things got too quiet. The Joker was locked away at Arkham Asylum.

" Our leader will return!" One of them yelled, as they walked up to Bat Man.

" This should be easy." Robin muttered as he hopped out of the car. He threw a punch at the closest one to him. Their attempt was to lock the Dynamic Duo in the car and to take them down. Robin snorted as he saw some more groupies try to attack Bat Man, underestimating his strength and power. After a few more punches the cops showed up and took them tho jail.

" I am really tired of these lame attempts." Bat Man said, as he took the suit off in the Bat Cave and turned back into Bruce Wayne.

" The Joker is safely put away." Richard said, breathing heavy. He pulled out his cell phone.

"Hello. I hope that I did nothing to upset you." It was from Kori.

"Hey, I'm sorry. Urgent work stuff. It's all handled. Coffee tomorrow?" He sent.

" Will you be requiring anything else tonight?" Alfred asked as he noticed Richard's furrowed brow.

" I'm fine." Richard said. There was no response for a few minutes. So Richard began to worry. He called up the first person he could think of. " Hey, umm Victor?"

" Hey dude, what's up?" Victor had just gotten into bed at his apartment.

" Do you think, maybe, I could um," Richard stuttered.

" Bro, are you saying, what I think you're saying?"

" I don't know, maybe." Richard sighed. He called Victor for just this reason, because he understood him.

" Yeah, I think you are."

" Thanks dude."

" Anytime."

Richard was falling in love with Kori, and although that was a good thing, it also meant that he couldn't hide this secret for long.
