Okay, I'd like to start off by apologizing for how long it took me to write this. Same excuse, busy with school, and I honestly forgot about my ongoing stories. (I'll try to update The Demons Head, too!) So I'm so sorry about that. I didn't have much inspiration, either, which stinks, but for now I at least have some small ideas to incorporate into this story. Also, wow. I reread the previous two chapters and I really needed to proof read. Saw a lot of mistakes, so sorry about that, too. Anyway, happy holidays, and enjoy.

I do not own any DC characters mentioned.

"Another meeting?" Dick asked as he watched Bruce drape his cape on his back.

"Yes. Clark and I decided we needed to consult the League as a whole on what to do about Luther. So far, the problem isn't major. But, it doesn't help to keep tabs on him." Bruce responded.

"Like you haven't since the moment he started causing trouble," Dick snorted.

Bruce glanced at him.

"Before?" asked Dick, stunned.

"Anyway, you're welcome to come. Five minutes," He said, making his way down to the Batcave.


The Leaguers has gathered together, and Dick watched as each entered. The majority has entered when Barry and Wally ran up.

"We're always the last ones!" Wally groaned. Barry shook his head and sighed.

"Maybe not," Wally quipped, seeing Superman walk up with Starfire flying next to him.

"Fashionable late, Supes," Wally shot him finger guns as Superman greeted the others.

Both him and Flash walked in together, and the door shut.

"Alright, so the gangs back together!" Wally cheered.

"There was never a gang, man." Dick sighed.

Kid Flash shrugged, "I mean, there was the three of us last time they had a meeting."

"That's because we all work with members of the Justice League, Wally." Dick grunted.

"If you will excuse me," Starfire interrupted, "I had planned on going to the training room."

Wally pushed Dick toward her, "Oh! So was Dick—I mean Robin. Right?"

"I was?" Dick said quietly.

"Yes! You were." Wally gritted his teeth. "Anyway, why don't we join you?"

Dick shook his head, "KF, stop bothering her. If she wants to be alone then we should leave

Kid Flash raised his finger with an exasperated look on his face.

"It is alright," Kory said kindly. "You are welcome to accompany me." Starfire started to walk off toward the training room. Looking behind her at the two, she added, "You may call me Kory." She gave them a kind smile as she continued walking.

Wally elbowed Dick in his side. "Well, am I a good wingman or what?"

"Oh, shut up."

Once the group arrived at the room, Wally immediately suggested an idea;

"Oh, I know! Kory, you and Dick should spar!"

"Uh, why, Wally?"

Kid Flash leaned over to his best friend, and whispered, "Heard about her powers. Wanna see how she'll wipe the floor with you."

"Encouraging," Dick huffed. "But, sure, if you're fine with it Kory."

Kory nodded, and she flew over to the other end of the room to grab a wooden staff.

Wally padded his friends shoulders, "She's gonna kick your ass. Good luck!"

Robin grabbed his retractable bo-staff, and moved into a battle stance, as did Starfire.

Kory advanced first, attempting to knock him off his feet by sliding her foot under his. Dick only stumbled, as he quickly rightened himself. He dodged a blow from her staff, before quickly sending one of his own. She blocked it, and as their staffs met he pushed with all his might, attempting to get the edge. But, Kory quickly pushed back, knocking him to the ground.

"Go Kory!" Wally cheered.

Dick grunted as he flipped in order to evade another hit. Once he was behind her, he attempted to swing his weapon at her, but in a split second, she reacted, grabbing his staff and hurling it—and him—into the nearby wall.

"Oof," Dick muttered once his body collided with the rack that held the training staffs. It was broken in half, with his body wedges in the middle.

Kory winced. "I apologize," she said.

"It's okay," He coughed as he attempted to sit up.

"Haha, dude. I told you, she totally kicked your ass!"

Dick glared at him through his mask. "Not now, Wally. Unless you want to spar with her."

"Yeah, I'll, uh, pass on that." He said meekly.

Kory walked over to Dick, and held out a hand. He graciously took it as she helped him stand.

"You're very strong." He commented awkwardly.

"My people are warriors," She replied, as though it was an answer.

"Right," Dick said, rubbing his head. "So, what are your actual powers, anyway? Other than being able to throw people across the room... Super strength, I'm guessing?"

Kory nodded. "Prolonged exposure to intense temperatures, flight, increased durability, to name my powers that I use most often. And," She opened her hand, and a glowing green orb grew, "I am able to absorb radiation. That is what powers... me. I can focus the radiation into beams, starbolts."

Her eyes began to glow a fluorescent green as the orb, or rather, starbolt became more intense. The boys moved a bit closer to see it, and felt heat pouring off of it.

"Whoa! Cool." Wally ogled.

Starfire let her hand fall as the glow faded away.

"I'm sure having Superman as a mentor helps, too," Robin said. "Speaking of, maybe we should see if they're done with their meeting."

The group of three teens moved toward the room, and waiting outside of the door, making idly conversation for the time being. They were bound to end the meeting sooner or later.

They heard voice start to raise, it could possibly be the team wrapping up their discussion, an argument, who knows? Chair legs scrapped against the cold floor. They must have been leaving.

Before the door had opened, Robin tapped Starfires' shoulder. "Hey, uh, Kory? I was thinking... maybe, we could uh... All three of us maybe hang out... As civilians, I mean, if you want..." Robin trailed off.

Kid Flash threw his arms around Robin. "Hey, that's a great idea! And you know Donna, right? Maybe we can invite her if she's allowed off the island for a bit. She's Dicks best friend, second only to me, of course."

Kory nodded. "Perhaps, I shall contact you both." The steel doors slid open, and as last time, Superman came out first, with Kory waving and walking off.

I'll try to keep updating more frequently, at the least, monthly updates. So sorry again, I've just been super busy and tired and unmotivated. As I'd like to apologize for this being filler, I wanted a simple thing to write about for the time being. Happy New Year!
