Chapter 6: Nightmares become a reality

Nightmares kept her up through the night and there was no way of stopping them. They came in like a whirlwind; she couldn't shut her eyes for one single moment before frightening images appeared in her thoughts, screaming a scolding her to run, but she didn't know what for. A hidden message? Impossible. Kori wasn't the type to use dreams she had as a warning or a signal for anything.

Maybe she should've listened?

Too tried to even care about the nightmares, Kori fell back into a painful sleep. Next thing she knew, Tim was sitting on her bed, both hands wrapped around her shoulders, pulling them up and down to wake her up.

"Kori! Wake up!" Kori woke up hyperventilating while her body felt achy and sweaty. She was drenched in her sweat and she wasn't even wearing any blankets.

The girl sighed, her eyes closing softly before snapping open when the images of herself, saturated in blood appeared in her mind. This was a normal nightmare for her and Tim knew that by the look on her face.

"Hey, you're alright, Kori. Don't close your eyes, keep them open." He smiled gently. His smile was so gentle, it made the fear in Kori's minds dissolve and she was now a bit calmer.

"Was I screaming again?" Kori questioned instantly, looking over at the clock to check the time. It was only four in the morning. Kori groaned at the time, turning her gaze back at Tim with an apologetic expression.

"I was screaming, wasn't I?"

Tim shook his head, the smile on his lips never fading. "Don't worry about it, Kori. You'd do the same for me. Plus, who'd be the one to turn off your screaming?" Soft chuckles escaped both of their mouths, both grinning at the thought.

"Thanks, Tim." Kori lunged forward, wrapping her arms around the boy and nuzzled her head in his neck.

"You can always count on me, Kori." He laughed, placing a hand on her back until she pulled away, laying back down on her bed.

They both stayed silent for what seemed like a few hours, but then Tim looked over at Kori, narrowing his gaze in curiosity. "If you don't mind- and you don't have to answer me, but what are you so scared about?"

There was a pause. A soundless ticking. Then Kori mustered up a reply.

"Myself."

Her voice was pained and if listened closely, a hint of tears could be heard in her reply. That was it for her, she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Kori turned the opposite way Tim was, her back facing him. She didn't want to speak about it nor did she want to even acknowledge she even told him something so personal like that. Kori was different. She wasn't so open like she used to be-

When she was Starfire.

Tim started at her back, reaching over hesitantly to place his hand on her to show some sort of comfort, but he retreated. He got up and headed for the door.

But that was wrong.

Tim knew that.

You don't leave the people who knew you the most to be by themselves in a time of need.

Tim spun around on his heels and walked right back towards the bed, laying right next to her and wrapping his arm around her.

No words needed to be expressed, only the acknowledgement that he was her for her was enough to keep the nightmares out for the rest of that night.

Morning hit the sky and Kori's alarm began to screech for attention. Tim turned over, groaning at the piercing alarm before taking the pillow Kori was using for herself and placing it over his head. "Turn it off." Tim bellowed into the mattress, pushing Kori off the bed to wake her up.

Landing face first onto the ground, Kori woke up instantaneously and popped up on her feet to turn the alarm on her phone off. "Thanks, Tim. Your future girlfriend's going to love you in the morning." She sarcastically grumbled, rubbing her jaw and nose to check if they were broken from the fall.

"Ha. Ha. Aren't you funny." Tim spoke half awake, shifting around Kori's bed to get a bit more comfortable. Kori rolled her eyes at the sight, muttering 'little klorbag' under her breath as she made her way towards her closet, rummaging through her stuff to find a cute outfit to wear to meet the guests. Kori wasn't sure who to expect. The Justice League? Kori wouldn't mind them staying in the manor, but that was most likely a dream for Kori than an actual event that could happen. So who was coming? All she knew was that they were coming early in the morning for 'traffic' reasons. That wasn't a problem for Kori, she'd be ready on time.

Finally Kori picked out the perfect outfit to greet the guests in. A pink floral patterned take top accompanied with some jean shorts with pink glossy flats. Perfect outfit!

"Hey stud, go get ready. The guest will be here in a few." Tim wouldn't budge.

"I said they're coming." Still no movement.

"I said out!" Kori threw her pink show at Tim's butt, waking him up immediately.

"I'm up I'm up! Holly smokes!" Tim fumed, stomping out of Kori's room and into the hall. Tim was always grumpy in the mornings- Kori was used to it.

"Love you too, Tim." She giggled, putting on her outfit at once.

It was time the guest arrived and Kori was excited! Tim, Alfred, and Bruce were already downstairs with the guest, but Kori forgot to put on lipstick so she wasn't there when then guest arrived. After applying her scarlet lipstick, Kori busted through her door and ran down the stairs as fast as her feet could take her.

Kori looked over at Alfred, but he was giving her a scared looked than a happy smile he usually gives her. Did she put her lipstick on wrong? Was it all over her face? Did she forget her ring? Everything was in order, so why was Alfred giving her that look?

That's when she knew she should've listened to her dream.

Bruce heard the pitter patter of Kori's feet coming down the stairs and began to introduce her

"And this is Kori Ander's."

Running felt like a fantastic idea for Kori right now. The look Bruce shot her when he saw her not wanting to come down anymore was a look she never enjoys seeing. Hesitantly and slowly, Kori made her way downstairs, her eyes staring down Bruce. Why did he do this to her? Why would he bring them here?

"Kori this is Master Richard, Master Garfield, Master Victor, Madam Rachel, and Madam Kira. They will be our guests for awhile." Alfred pointed out, his voice so soothing yet so brutally devastating when informing her the news.

It was them, the Teen Titans, Kori's former teammates, her former friends, her used to be family. Her face was expressionless as she moved towards Tim, standing there while she started at the door behind the group.

"My name Richard, it's nice of you to let us stay here with you guys for a few days." Richard extended his hand towards Kori, a sly smirk on his lips. Now, option one was to run, option two was to scream and run, option three was to shake his hand. Kori picked option three, even though options one and two were pretty good options in her opinion.

"Did we have a choi-" Kori was pulled back by Tim, her hand that was shaking Richard's separated rapidly. "We are all happy you guys are here." Tim reassured.

"Have we met before?" Rachel suspiciously looked at Kori and analyzed everything on her.

Oh no…she knows it's me. This can't be happening, no not now. Not ever.

"You know I think we have. I think I remember you from one of my photo shoots. You're a model, right?" Kori was hoping this would make her think she was clueless about who see was.

She bought it.

"No, I not a model." Rachel said coldly. Raven was different…but so was everyone else.

Her hair was a bit longer but still the same. She wore a black shirt that had rips going from side to side of the waist and wore a blue tank top under it. In addition she wore navy skinny jeans and converse. Garfield was wearing the same ring that victor used to go under cover at the H.I.V.E Academy. Kori was surprised to see Beast boy undercover. He had blond hair and light green eyes and he's defiantly not short anymore, he's about Raven's height now…you could almost mistake him for some surfer guy on the beach.

Cyborg was wearing the same ring. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with baggy pants, similar to what Beast boy was wearing, but with a purple shirt. Kira dyed her hair with some pink streaks. She wore a pink summer dress with black sandals. And the old Robin, he was wearing a red shirt with jeans and black vans.

His eyes were mind blowing; beautiful gleaming aqua blue eyes that made Kori feel like flying and flopping helplessly in love with them.

She's dated a few attractive guys before but none of them made her feel the way he made her feel.

Kori smiled for the first time "Oh sorry, you just you look so familiar."

"My baby would be a killer model." Garfield wrapped his arms around Rachel in a smooth single motion.

Startled, Kori let out a small gasp. Everyone stared at her with confused expressions.

Embarrassed she replied "I think the guest would like to know where they're staying."

Tim ushered the Titans to follow him up the stairs while Kori went over to Bruce to have a word with him.

"You're acting rude, Koriand'r."

"You expect me to be nice to them?"

"I know you're not happy with my decision, but you're going to deal with it like a gown up." And that was all he said both leaving the room.

"Great, thank you x'hal for bestowing me this horrific scenario. Glorious, just glorious."
