Hey everyone! I'm going to update in a pattern. So Now I give you the ninth installment of NighStar.
Don't own anything.
I've tried everything! I think I'm finally out of ideas.
I bang my head against the wall, knowing full well at anytime I could fly back into a coma or possibly die but none of it mattered right now.
It's been a week and two days and Brendon still hasn't spoke to me. Heck, he hasn't come out of his room long enough to talk to me. I tried luring him out with food or video games but getting Lindsay Lohan to stop doing cocaine would be a whole lot eaiser. I finally think I'm down to one option:
"Brendon open up! I need to talk to you right now!" I scream and bang on his door loudly. It opens with a swoosh and caught me off gaurd making fall into his chest. He wraps his arms around my wiast and pulls me into his room. He lets me go and looks out his porthole to a sea of stars.
"I don't know Mar," I look at him questionably. Doesn't know? "I don't deserve to be with you and yet.." He trails off, his eyes that I haven't seen in so long clearly bothered. Is he still bent out of shape because of Buggy?
"Yet...?" I wonder. he turn towards me and I realize how much I've missed him.
"I can't see myself with anybody else." That did it. I ran over to him and flung my arms around his chest, a familar feeling of warmth swept over me and I've never felt more content in my life. He unconsiously runs his fingers through my raven locks.
"I've missed you so much Brendon." I mummer in a slight daze. I look up at his face. He looked thinner if possible and his aubergine eyes stared in to my sapphire ones. He head started to come down slightly and awkwardly as if he was afraid I'd hit him. I raise my head up as well and we meet and a spark was sent throuh my body. It was still to awkward to make-out so we settled for that one small reuniting kiss.
"You've gotta get food inside you Brendon." I tell him sternly. "You look thinner." He laughs. I have't heard that laugh in 9 days. I missed it so much.
"And you look shorter." I look at him astonished. So we're back to old Brendon eh? two can play that game.
"Get out of your room and stop cutting your wrists you emo loser!" I felt truiumphant at the moment but he totally put me down.
"What? speak up! I can't hear you down there!" His reply was a pillow thrown at his face.
"So you're gonna act like a child instead of stepping up huh Mar'i?" Another pillow hits his flawless face curtosey of the princes of Tamaran.
"Ok then, if thats how your gonna be." he grabs one of the pillows that hit him and looks at me maliciously. I grew fearful and hid my face with a pillow.
WAP!
I hit the ground with a thud.
"Ha! you went down like a sack of potatoes! I Win! I WIN!!!!!!" he taunts. Who's being childish now? But, losing was something I just couldn't take.
"Don't count you chickens before they hatch Mr. Logan"
WAP!
Another thud and he went down just as bad as I did.
"Ok..." He relocates his jaw. "Mar'iander of Tamaran I declare a war!"
"Bring it on Brendon!"
Thus, a war of pillows insued.
"Hey Dad, what's wrong?" I ask him. He's starring out a porthole, like Brendon with the exact same look. Suddenly I have this feeling of reoccurence.
"Nothing sweetie. I just..." He trails off. I look into his masked eyes with concern. "I wish your mom could see this right now. She would of loved it." Longing is in his voice and I'm starting to think he wants to rescue Mom just as much as I do. Maybe even more. I can't blame him though. Only 9 days of not talking to Brendon made me go insane, I can't imagine 9 YEARS.
"What was Mom like?" I ask him. True, I grew up with her but I can't recall much.
"She was the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life. She always looked for the good in everything. Not only that but she was intelligent beyond belief. When we found out she was pregnant with you it was probably the happiest day of her life."
FLASHBACK
"Richard! Richard!" Kori called her fiance's name cheerily. "I have the most glorious, slpendid, marveoulous news to announce to you!"
"I'm in my room Star." Came the muffled reply from the door about three feet away. She walked over to it and polietly knocked. No less than 5 seconds later The door opened to reveal a smirking NightWing.
"You know, you don't have to knock on my door anymore right?" He asks her. She nods her head.
"Yes I comprehend that, but you could be naked or busy with your research." She tries to counter.
"It's not like you've never seen me naked before my love." he whispers huskily in her ear his breath tickiling it making he tense slightly with pleasant shivers going up and down her spine.
"Well..While that may be true, it still does not give me a right to- -" His lips cut off her babbling long enough to pull her into his room and close the door before pressing her up against it and prying his mouth open with his tounge. When she wouldn't let him gain acsess he pulled away.
"Kory," He used her pet name. "Why won't you open you mouth?" He took off his mask and gave her puppy eyes, but she refused him.
"Because Richard, you are making me forget what I came here to tell you." It was then that he saw an organgy-yellow envolope in her hands.
"OK, shoot." he told her. She looks fearful and shakes her head vigerously.
"Oh, X'hal no. I will not shoot you Richard. I love you too much to even think about it." His mirth made her believe he was truly going insane. 'Maybe I should have opened my mouth after all. I must have made him insane.' That and simalar thoughts were running through her head.
"No Star, 'Shoot' can mean mutilple things. Like firing a gun, shooting a basketball or hockey puck, and in this case it means 'tell me' " She smiles.
"Ok then I will 'Shoot' as you call it." She takes a deep breath before busting out into giggles "I am pregnant!! Is it not wonderous!?" Richard took a minute to process the information. He then scooped Kori up into his arms.
"This is great! I can't beleive it! Me a father!" He started dancing around like a child does at Christmas.
"Ok this is great and everything Richard, But I would be most gracious if you would but me down please." He kissed her lips passionatly and obliged.
"Me..A father..." He mumbled to himself. and with those last words he passed out
"You really love her, huh?"
"I'll love her even after I die." Was his reply. I look at his expression, it was one I've never seen before. It looked remorseful, happy, depressed, angry, excited, and sad.
"I can't wait until I see Grandpa again. Mom always called him by his first name though." I reminisce, he smiles lightly at me.
"What ever happened to Grandma & Grandpa Grayson dad? I mean I love Grandpa wayne and everything but I want to know what happened to them." My father's face becomes dark.
"They were murdered in front of my eyes." He said bluntly. His voice was sinister and slightly below freezing. I had a look of horror in my eyes. I never knew Dad was an orphan.
"We were a part of a traveling circus group. All of us, My mother, father, and I, we were the trapeeze act. "The Flying Graysons" someone cut their wire and the fell to their deaths. Bruce, he saved my life."
"I'm so sorry Dad, I shouldn't of brought it up." I really didn't mean to touch such a sensitive subject with him. He looks over at me and smiles.
"It's ok I knew I was going to have to tell you sooner or later." I smile back and hug him. We both look out the porthole together. Not saying a word. We both have the same wounds that won't heal. We both lost something dear to us at a young age and would do anything to get it back. So with each star I pass I make a wish. It's the same wish on every one of them:
Please stop the pain we both have in our hearts.
I really wanted this chapter to be Mar'i and her father bonding. I never really put too much of them together in this fic without them arguing or one leaving to go do something so I thought it was cute.
You know what I love more than anything! REVEIWS!!! Leave me some please.
Love ya,
SuperJgirl5
