Chapter 5-

Kori POV-

Knock. Knock. Knock. Alex knocked on Slade's door. I cannot believe I finally had someone to take watch over me and worry for me when I am gone. It feels so good to have someone who I may love, and someone who may love me as well. I leaned into Alex more. He had one arm around my waist and the other by his side. I heard someone walking towards the door. The door then opened to appear Slade.

"Good evening Alex. Hello Kori." Slade greeted us.

"Hey Craig." said Alex.

"Hi Slade." I said.

"Do come in." he said motioning Alex and I to step inside. And so we did. Alex took his arm off me and stood near the window behind the couch. I sat on the couch and Slade took the chair across from us.

"Kori," I looked up at Slade," I am so glad you have agreed to join me, us."

"The pleasure is mine. My team never took me seriously and it hurt. They would probably do better without me anyway. I hope I could be more of an assist to you." I said.

"Oh the Titians have no idea of what they are missing out on. You are a great asset here and I'm sure you will become comfortable here. We will train you, and with your powers you could be a giant help."

So Slade will help me get better with my powers? That would be great, and I do already have comfort.

"What do you mean 'Titians'? The Teen Titians? You have powers? What can you do?" said Alex as he joined in on the conversation. I turned around to look at him. He meant my gaze and came to sit down next to me.

"Alex, I am a part of the Teen Titians. My codename is Starfire. And my powers, well, I am a Tamaranain just as you." He looked shocked as I finished the last sentence.

"You guys are messing with me. Are you for real?" he asked looking at me. I mine as well show him.

I stood up and walked into an open area. Lit me hands and levitated. I kept my gaze on the rug beneath me. Afraid to look up, but then I did. And Alex was standing as well. He was smirking. That is a good sign. I let go of my powers and slightly jumped down instead of falling. I stopped lent up against a chair on the side of Alex and Slade.

"Is that real enough?" I asked Alex. He just gave a grunt laugh and sat back down on the couch.

"So Kori, there are some things we must go over before I can let you and Lexi here roam free, okay?" Said Slade.

I nodded.

"Okay," he said," first thing first. Since many people know you as Starfire you may keep the name Kori, but you will need a last name. Kenith shall be it. As for I see the confusion on your face Lex, yes it is still your last name, but as for you both will be partners most of the time you will act married. Don't get any ideas, both of you. The second thing is that you will be trained in gymnastics, hand to hand combat, archery, and you will learn to use a gun. Wake up time is six and most people go to bed around eleven but that does not concern me. You will have gymnastics first with Collins; she is our main trainer, at seven thirty on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At nine thirty you will have archery and gun practice with Blade, she doesn't like when people are late, right after gymnastics. And on Mondays and Wednesdays you will have hand to hand combat with Lexi. Like I said don't try anything funny you guys. So, then there will be missions that you guys will have to take place in. I will contact you when you are needed. Kori, there will be all your gear that you will need in your room. Training with start next week since today is Wednesday. Oh, Kori I almost forgot. You cannot wear your old uniform, so if you want you can go online and order something or what do you want to do?"

"I already have something Slade, but thank you anyway." I said.

"Kori you may call me Craig." He said.

"Okay Craig." I managed to say before Alex pulled me out of the room.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I'm going to show you to your room milady."

I wonder what my room will look like. Is it big? Is there a big bed? IS IT PAINTED PURPLE? Oh, I could only imagine. And soon enough we were standing outside a plain white door. I looked at Alex.

"Go ahead. Open it." He said. And so I did. What appeared before me was gorgeous.

It turns out there was a big bed. In a big room. The bed was purple and I think queen size. The walls were green and the rug around my bed was blue while the main floor was shiny oak. To my right was a dresser with a giant mirror on it. There was also a blue futon. To my left was two doors and fire place. Above the fireplace was a medium flat screen TV and in front of the fire place was a couch. I walked into my new room and turned around to see the wall were I was standing. It held a bookcase on one side and a desk with a laptop on the other.

"This is so cool." I told Alex. I slipped off my sneakers, looked down at my bright green socks, they match my wall! I also took off my coat leaving me in a purple tank top and a pair of short jean shorts. I ran and jumped on my bed. It was so soft! I looked up to see Alex closing the door.

"Ya I know." He replied and then looked at me with an evil grin on his face.

"Oh no, what are you thinking about." I asked.

"You better watch out." and then he took off into a running pace right towards my bed. My eyes widened. I ducked under some pillows and waited for impact. Then bam, he hit the bed. I squeaked at his impact.

"Did you just squeak?" he started laughing. I kept my mouth shut. Let's see what he does.

"Hey, I can't even see you." He said when he stopped laughing. Then he picked up the pillow that hit my face. He smiled at me.

"You look so cute in there." He said, and then it was game time. I grabbed a pillow and sung it at him. It hit him right in the face. HA! That was good aim. I then ran knowing what was going to happen next. I grabbed a pillow from the couch and ran out of the room.

"Oh this is WAR!" I heard him yell when I was already down the hall and turning to go down the steps.

I finally got on the next floor, but heard him skipping every other step on the way down. I started running again. I ran down the next hall and took a corner to go down more stairs. I knew he was close behind so I wanted to make my point.

"No using powers!" I yelled while stopping at a door and running through it. I was in another hallway. A took a left at a three way intersection. Then I took a right at the next. I took two other rights and slowed my pace. Now I was scared. I was lost in a giant base without someone with me. That's when I noticed a door with the words 'Control room' on it. I decided to go inside. Once I got in I looked around. There was someone in the chair in front of a bunch of screens. I locked the door behind me.

" No one is supposed to be in hear." a women said as she turned around. She looked me up and down. She probably noticed my heavy panting.

"Oh so you're the new one. Kori right?" she asked. She was very pretty. She has black short hair cut just like Ravens! She had blue eyes and was thin but muscular, but not too much. She did not look manly in any way.

"Yes but how do you know my name?" I asked.

"Simple, your boyfriend here is wondering through each hall calling out your name." she said. Then she smiled.

"So am I correct? You're hiding from him?" she asked.

"Well let's just say I started a pillow fight and I ran." I replied.

"Hmm, my name is Collins, would you like to mess with him?" she questioned.

"That would be awesome. And by the way you're my gymnastic coach."

"Oh really, that's cool." She said as I walked over to look at the screens. I searched the screens on the top first.

"Honey he's down here." said Collins as I then looked at one of the bottom screens.

"How do these screens categorize?" I asked.

"They start from each level. Top being the highest floor, and bottom being the lowest." She explained.

"So he is in the basement?"

"No, the boiler room. Here click that button," she pointed to a blue button by my hand, "and then that one she pointed to a switch. And so I did. The blue button turned on the furnace that he was close to. He jumped and I think he swore too. I guess I spooked him because he ran for the door. Then I flicked the switch that I'm guessing locked the door. You could tell he was scared. We then let him out after many beg. We kept playing tiny pranks on him for a while before him finally realized it was the controls. He looked at the cameras and gave us the finger. Collins and I started laughing even harder than we had.

"Oh no! Look!" she yelled. I looked over to see him running down the stairs. He stopped once he got to a floor. Wait that's the floor we're on! He turned to the camera. He mouthed 'you are dead' and drew a hand across his neck as a threat. Oh great.

"We got to get out." I said.

"Are you crazy? He's down the hall." Collins hissed back.

"Well then get in the closet. Hide behind some clothes. Hide deep in the corner." I told her.

"You're acting like he's a serial killer."

"Well I'm scared."I said and ducked under the desk. I could hear the closet door closing. The doorknob shook.

"Kor, I know that you're in there!" yelled Alex.

Collins and I stayed quiet.

"Hope I didn't have to do this." He said. What did he mean by that. And then the door was kicked down.

"Are you seriously hiding? Well you should be very afraid. Because I have a pillow." Oh I had to laugh at that. I giggled. Crap he stopped.

"There we go. Keep on laughing baby, I'll find you. Scaring the crap out of me, I thought the fricking place was haunted!"

Oh man, I got to hold it in.

"We've been going out for only a few hours and you've already drove me nuts!" he said.

Oh crap that's it I've had enough! He walked over past the desk. He looked out the window. That was my time to run. I pushed out the chair and ran out the door. Once I turned out the door he was right behind me. Dang, he's fast. I stepped on my running and pushed myself faster. Before I knew it we were in some kind of main area of living. It was a big room with a big TV and many couches. I tried ducking behind one of the couches but someone grabbed my waist and pulled me to them.

"Oh no, no, no. You are not getting away from me this time. God, Kor, you got me scared to death." I started laughing again once he finished. He turned me around so I could face him.

"Come on Lexi, your going make me cry." I said. I was on the verge of crying because of laughter. I stopped and looked up at him. He just smiled and planted his lips on mine. I pulled away saying it was time for bed. He looked over to the clock and so did I. It read 2:12 am. Wow, short day goes long.

Finally we were upstairs and in my room.

"I'm going to get some rest and I think you should too. If you need anything my room is literally right across the hall. It's the green door if you ever get lost." He said. I nodded and said goodnight. He pulled me into a hug.

"Goodnight, love, there's a lot you need to learn for tomorrow." He said and with that he was out of my room.

I decided to go see what was behind the lavishing two doors on the left hand side of my room. I opened the first one up and almost died at the sight. There was a gigantic walk-in closet. Although it was beauty it was filled with dresses and costumes, most-likely for disguise. Only a row was filled with nice looking jeans, shirts, and really short party dresses. I was amazed by this but was still looking for sleeping clothes. They must be in that dresser I saw. And once I opened it sure enough there was a giant amount of sleepwear. I found a green tank top and blue plaid pants. I found out that the next door was a bathroom so I took a shower. After the shower I jumped into my new sleepwear and braided my hair in pigtails so it would not get tangled in the morning. I snuggled under the blankets and closed my eyes. I knew the next few years here would be tough.

Robin's POV-

It was now 10 o'clock and Starfire still wasn't back. I knew something had happened. I could just feel it.

"Raven, you had your waiting now she still hasn't come back. What do you want us to do now?" I asked very annoyed.

"Fine we'll go out to town and look around, ask some people and then if we don't fine her we get up early tomorrow and look." She said without emotion. Is she serious? We will find her.

"What do you mean we will never find her? We will! Tonight!" I started yelling. She was getting me very angry.

"Ok Robin, then we better get started." Once she finished I jumped off the couch and ran out the door. I hoped on my motorcycle and stepped on the gas. We searched and searched. I asked random people. The others did as well. And still after all that time, hours past and it was time to head home. With no Starfire.

Here is chapter 5. Sorry if it's too long. I haven't started on chapter 6 yet but I hope it will be done soon! ~ Kbaby
