Chapter 6

Forgive Me (doesn't really have anything to do with this chapter but yeah...)

Once Kori woke up, she walked over to her own bathroom-after Robin showed her around the Tower, where their rooms were, and the basics of her room-and searched for a toothbrush. She found the toothpaste, and the sink, obviously, but the toothbrush wasn't there. Doubtfully, Kori tried to remember where she left which left her to no avail. She groaned and continued her search. After what seemed like a millennia, Kori had finally found the useful device and eagerly ran through water. She cleaned her teeth and set the toothbrush on the obvious place she could, so she wouldn't lose it again.

Kori walked over to her closet and when she opened the door, she saw multiple sets of the same clothing. Purple skirt, purple shirt, and purple boots. Did I only wear the color purple? Kori shrugged and took out a set. After seeing that there was no way anyone would be able to peek, she took off her clothes and replaced it with the new set.

She found a mirror on the back of the closet door and took notice of her new look. What surprised her the most was that she was so…provocative. Kori had no idea why the old version of her would wear something that was revealing and distracting. She knew that she would have to go shopping later.

"But, we are on an island. Where do they get all of the supplies?" Kori wanted answers on how they survived without food or water. Or maybe they had the supplies stashed somewhere. Either way, if she was going to stay there then she needed to know how things worked.

She refocused her attention on the mirror and convinced herself that her hair looked fine enough to not be brushed. She would survive. Kori closed the closet doors and walked out of her room. Once the doors closed behind her, Kori looked to the left and to the right. One problem, she had no idea where to go.

"B-e-a-utiful. I do not even know where to go from here." She groaned and heard a swoosh from her right. Before she could check what that noise was, she heard someone chuckle from behind her.

"Need some help?" Kori turned and was met with Robin's smiling face. He seemed so calm and somewhat well-rested.

Kori hated to admit defeat but she needed help. She couldn't stay in her room forever. She hung her head and muttered, "Yes please."

Robin grabbed Kori's hand and started to maneuver her throughout the hallways. Once she got in rhythm with Robin, he, to his dismay, dropped her hand as they started to walk in pace with one another.

Kori would always glance at Robin every now and then but as they got closer to the common room, Kori felt like she already knew the way. However, she didn't want the silence between them to continue so she spoke up.

"Did I always…wear this?" Robin turned to Kori as she motioned to her outfit.

"Yeah. Why? Does it bother you?" Robin continued to stare at Kori which started to make her feel uncomfortable. Knowing how tight-fitting and small the clothes were, she felt like he was looking at her all over. She was certain that no one would be able to see beyond his mask, but he would be able to see everyone and everything just fine.

"Truthfully, yes it does."

"How so?"

"I am sorry but I wish to discuss this with the other girl. It would seem…inappropriate to discuss this with a male." A faint smile appeared on Robin's face but before Kori could question him, doors opened in front of them. They arrived at the common room.

"Well if it ain't Romeo and Juliet!"

"What took you guys so long?" Kori looked at her surroundings and saw that the green and cybernetic boys were at a counter with the aroma of something delicious filling the air. She searched for the pale girl and saw that she had blended in with her surroundings by sinking in with the couch. Her head was barely noticeable but if you looked hard enough, then you would be able to see a tint of purple peeking over the couch.

"Well are you just going to stand there or are you going to eat something?" Kori had realized that Robin went to join the two guys but was still looking at her with a distraught facial expression.

"Oh uh, good morning? Have you all slept well?" Kori made eye contact with everyone, even with the pale girl who seemed to look back at her, and gave a nervous smile.

"I slept fine. Thanks for asking." Subconsciously, Kori walked to the pale girl and sat next to her.

"Hello. May I ask you something?" The girl stared her down as if searching for something but eventually let it go. The pale one does seem quite frightening but I must have accustomed to her. Ugh, no Kori. Her name is…is…Raven! Yes, her name is Raven!

"Well I'm guessing it's not about my name since you seemed to have figured that out. Go ahead." How did she know that?

"I can read minds. Question please." Raven continued to bore her eyes into Kori's who tried her best to not seem scared. But she knew that she would have to learn to not think of anything too personal around her.

"Oh don't worry about us! We'll just stay here, unloved and betrayed by our own friend." Kori looked back at the green one who seemed saddened but it looked like he was faking it. Who is the green one speaking of? No! His name is…Beastboy! Remember Kori!

"Don't mind him St-Kori. He's just playin' with ya." Cyborg. He is called Cyborg.

"Just ignore him. Or try your best to." Robin. Yet, his name is the only one I do not have trouble with.

"Oh, I shall try my best then. Forgive me Beastboy but I must take no notice of you for the time being." Kori turned her attention back to Raven who had a slight hint of a smirk on her face. Surprisingly enough, she also heard laughter behind her. It sounded like it was from Cyborg and Robin.

I actually don't remember if I had something else planned in this chapter so this is what you guys get, for now anyway. Heads up for the future everyone, I'm going to make Kori as opposite as Starfire as much as I can. There may be some similarities but she may be a whole different person in the future. Please review, follow, fav and all that other good stuff! I don't own anything but Warner Bros. and DC Comics do!

Always yours,

light is in the dark
