Hiya peoples. Thank you for the reviews and whatnots. Anyways as my appreciation I'm going to write a longer chapter with some fluff and tell you that there's going to be major fluff in the next chapter, so please enjoy. P.S toward the middle of this story there's going to be a spot that you guys might not like very much, just know that this story won't let me take control, so yeah…
Richard and Starfire got up at five thirty and got ready for the boat ride to America.
"I need to prep you on Dr. Washizaki."
"She is wonderful what is there to prep me on?"
"Well first off she's really sarcastic. Second of all she has more of a morbid sense of humor. And third and final thing she can be kinda rude so whatever she says to you DO NOT take it to heart."
"Okay?"
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, I am so excited this is my first ever boat ride." She squealed.
"Let's just hope you don't get sea sick."
"What is sea sickness?"
"It's where you get queasy and sometimes manage to throw up. It's not a pretty site, but you get the picture." Dr. Washizaki said walking in
"Maybe we shouldn't go by boat."
"We got to sweetheart. Tamaran doesn't have an airport to fly you out and even if it did your father could stop it."
"Why?"
"It's government property, sweetie."
"But can they not try and stop your boat from sailing?"
"No, well they can, but I would love to see them stop me. Are two love doves ready?"
"We're just friends, Sumi." Richard said.
"Right and I am just a stupid ass person who can't see straight through your bullshit." She said as she walked away.
"You are right she can be rude. We do not even like each other? Why would she say love doves?" Starfire said with confidence in her voice, but knowing it was a lie. As they walked on to the boat their hands brushed against each other. They looked at each other, turned their heads the opposite way, and started to blush like mad.
"Just friends, my white/Japanese ass." Dr. Washizaki mumbled to herself rolling her eyes.
"We have two minutes until we leave and we need to prepare."
"What do you need us to do?"
"Richard go back to the store and get a black box with the Initials F.B."
"Okay." Richard said as he walked back to the store.
"I thought you guys left already?"
"Sumi wants me to get her box she left here."
"The black or blue box?"
"The black box, please."
"Here ya go. Tell her next time don't take it off the boat."
"Will do." He said turning to leave, but before he could there was an explosion outside. Richard and Kat ran to the front window.
"Shit!" They both cursed. The guards looked pretty pissed off and they didn't care how they bought back either Richard or Starfire.
"Get going. I'll hold them off as long as can, okay?"
"I love you, you know that." He said and hugged Kat before ran back to the boat.
"We have to go, NOW!"
"Richard, what is wrong?" Starfire looked at him with concerned eyes.
"Your Father is looking for us. Kat is stalling for us, but we got to move."
"WHAT?"
"Where's Sumi?"
Suddenly the boat started to move and they were on their way to a better life, but before they made it fifteen feet they heard another explosion. They turned around to see Kat's bookstore engulfed in flames. Richard fell to his knees and stared at the store he had grown to love. 'How could he? How could he think this little of human lives and because of what? His daughter? I should have never gotten close to her. All this happened because I had to be the hero and save Star…' He thought darkly.
"Richard, I am sorry. I know how much she meant to you." Starfire said bending down to try to comfort him, but it was a BIG mistake.
"GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF ME!"
Star took her hands off of him and backed away scared.
"BECAUSE OF YOU KAT'S DEAD! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN CLOSE TO YOU! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER SAVED YOU THEN MAYBE, MAYBE KAT WOULD STILL BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
"Richard…" she drifting off has she started to sob.
"I SAID GO!"
Starfire got up and ran away crying harder.
Richard got up and made his way into Sumi's room.
"Sumi?"
"Oh, Richard." Sumi turned around and tackled hugged him bawling, which made Richard cry harder. "She's gone! They killed her!" She sobbed.
"I-I k-k-now." He stuttered.
"D-Did S-Starfire s-see i-t?"
"Y-y-es."
"H-h-ow i-is she d-doing?"
"Not g-good. I w-ent o-o-ff on her."
"YOU WHAT?"
"I didn't mean to it's just she was right there and watched Kat die and if it wasn't for her none of this would be happening, which I know that doesn't give me a reason to do that, but that's what my brain registered right then and before I could stop myself I said horrible mean things to her." He said in one breath which earned him the hardest slap in his life.
"HOW DARE YOU RICHARD! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! YES, KAT DIED, BUT SHE DIED SO SHE COULD HELP YOU GET STARFIRE TO SAFETY! WHEN WE BURY HER BODY WHY DON'T YOU SPIT ON HER GRAVE, HUH! THE NERVE OF YOU! SHE DIDN'T CARE FOR HER LIFE IF YOU AND NOW STARFIRE GOT HARMED! SHE WOULD OF GLADLY HAVE GAVEN IT FOR THE BOTH OF YOU! NOW I WANT YOU TO GO IN THERE AND TALK TO HER, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"
"Yes ma'am."
"GOOD, GET YOUR ASS MOVING!"
Richard got up and ran to Starfire's room.
Starfire was curled up in the fetal position on the bed crying her heart out. 'I know I shouldn't be sad or anything because he had just lost someone, but still he shouldn't have said what he said-' There was a soft knock on the door.
"Please leave me alone." She said weakly, but the knock came again. She knew who ever was behind the door they won't stop knocking until she would let them talk to her. She wiped of the tears that were beginning to fall and weakly said "come in". The door opened and to reveal Richard. "What do you want?" she said trying to put venom into her voice.
"Could we talk?"
"Why so you can scream at me again?"
"No so I can... apologize for my behavior. I shouldn't have gone off on you like that and I shouldn't have said what I said to you."
"What you said really hurt me, you know."
"I am so sorry Star please forgive me."
Star thought about it. She knew if she forgave him they would be on egg shells for a while, but if she did not forgive him she knew she'd go against everything she believed in. What to do?
"Richard... I will forgive you…"
To be honest it wasn't the response he'd hope for, but I mean come on he yelled at her that's the response he should get. Actually he shouldn't have forgiveness, but I'm just a puppet writing this, anyways… "Thank you, Star, and I promise no matter how long it takes I'll prove to you that I'm truly am sorry."
"I will hold your promise against you until you do." They both smiled at each other and hugged each other not wanting to go.
"What was Kat like?" She asked they were now lying down on her bed intertwined together with her head on his cheat, his chin resting on her head, and their hands clasped together.
"She was interesting, to say the least."
"You told me she's your Aunts friend. How did they meet?"
"it's kinda a funny story, actually. They met because of me."
"How?"
"Well, I was at the store buying something for my parents. This smokin' hot girl was checking me out, but you could tell there was a screw lose or something. So I tried to stay clear, but she followed me, so I ran. It was raining so hard that day you couldn't see anything in front of you, so I was running blind. Anyways, I tripped and fell onto someone. At first the person was mad at me, but quickly got over it when she found out I was a child and what I was running away from, so she brought me inside her place, helped me dry off, and called my family to let them know I was alright. When the rain cleared up my Aunt came to pick me up and that's when she and Kat met."
Star smiled. "At least she helped you I would have just leaved you or told the girl where you were."
With that Richard laughed and wiped tears he never knew were falling. "You're just mean."
"So are you, but you do not see me calling you out for it."
"No you just run away crying." As soon as that came out of Richard's mouth he regretted it, for Starfire had tears in her eyes. "Star, I didn't-" he said walking up on her about to apologize, when Star starts laughing. "Oh you little sneak. Think you can get away with that?"
All the answer was Starfire getting up and running away laughing. Richard followed in suit, but stopped when Star was looking out the window trembling.
"Star, what is it?"
"The Carberous they are here to get me."
"I won't let them."
"Don't you mean 'we'?" Dr. Washizaki said loading up an AK-47.
"Do we really need that?"
"Well I don't know about you two, but I rather live and you don't get it if you have something those sons of bitches have."
Richard took the gun. "I just want to tell you that this goes against my morals."
"And dying young goes against mine, what's your point?"
Richard opened up his mouth to say something, but before he could the Carberous began shooting at them. "Star, find somewhere to hide, okay."
"Okay." She said and ran.
"Which side do you want to take?"
"The left."
"Remember how to shoot?"
"Do could forget? You'd always take me down to the shooting range."
"Good let's go."
That's it for chapter 5. I hope it wasn't too bad. I had fun writing this chap. Idk why though, oh well review or whatever. Bye. Oh and I'm thinking about writing another story when I get done with this story. The Titans are all crazy and locked up in an insane asylum, let me know what you guys think, please.
