Mirage, you're a dead woman!

Dick: Star, I'm so sorry. I didn’t know… I thought she was you, and then we… can you ever forgive me?

Kori tilted her head, studying her boyfriend's expression. Dick’s body language wasn’t defensive or deceitful; it radiated shock, slight terror, and guilt. Except he wasn’t guilty of anything. After a few seconds, Kori closed her eyes and smiled sweetly.

Kori: I was never mad. From how you're reacting, it seems you’re more upset. It’s okay—especially since what this Mirage woman did was not just wrong, but illegal. I’m going to handle it.

Calmly, Kori left the room, with Dick and the other titans trailing behind her.

Dick: Star, what are you doing?

Kori (removing her earrings with a calm determination): I'm going to have a conversation with Mirage about what sexual assault really is. And that impersonating someone else to sleep with their partner is a crime.

She tucked her earrings into her pocket and pulled her hair into a ponytail.

Donna: Do you need backup?

Kori: No. I can handle this on my own.

Garfield (Beast Boy) and Wally West walked down the halls as the group made their way to the holding room Mirage was at.

Garfield: Where are you guys headed?

Donna: Star is going to beat the shit out of Mirage for having sex with Nightwing, but he didn't know.

Wally: That's a crime. That was the context? That asshole!

Garfield (walking off to tell the others): Yeah pretty much... give 'em hell Starfire.

Kori: Oh I will.

Dick: You don't have to do this.

Kori: I want to though, because she took advantage of you. Am I upset that she had sex with you? Yes, but that's not your fault.

Dick: Aren't you mad that I technically cheated on you?

Kori: Cheating is partaking in sexual or emotional relationship acts with someone else while in a relationship. This isn't that and the only one in the wrong is Mirage. I understand you not wanting me to murder the vermin Tarantula, but here I will only make her wish I killed her.

Donna (rolling up her sleeves, walking off): And I’ll deal with Pantha calling you a slut while Kori “talks” to Mirage.

Kori: Sounds like a perfect plan. Dickie bear, having learned about your history, I will continue to protect you. We could be friends, and I'd still do so. If you don’t want me confronting Mirage, though, we can leave. You deserve to choose, because you’re the victim in this.

Dick's eyes widened in surprised at this being taken seriously as it should be.

Wally: I was eavesdropping because I'm nosy, and I say let Kori punch her in the nose at least.

Dick closed his eyes, releasing a relieved sigh. When he opened them, he took Kori’s hand.

Dick: Kori, don’t, like, murder her, okay? I can’t afford to bail you out of jail, and… murder's wrong.

Kori: What’s that thing you and Batman say? Letting them live after you’ve savagely beaten them is punishment enough. If you’ll excuse me…

Kori turned towards the doorway where Mirage was being held and forcefully kicked the door in. She entered with a determined smile. Mirage, spotting Kori, immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Kori (closing the door behind her): We’re going to have a little thirty-minute girl talk. Chat amongst yourselves.

With the door sealed, the room filled with sounds of screams (Mirage's), thrashing, and alien curses. Most the Titans stood by listening into the fighting while Dick stood a few feet away hiding smile by sucking in his lips.

Spoiler (looking at the ticking bomb): Hood go on without me, get to safety.

Spoiler clutched her leg where she had been shot by the Joker. The bomb ticked down slowly as the two only had a short time to escape. Spoiler could barely stand and she didn't want to be the reason her friend didn't get to finally deal with the Joker his way.

Spoiler (weak smile): Get the Joker and give him hell. I'll... You'll see me again, right?

Red Hood clenched his fists tightly seeing the timer at only a minute, then fifty nine seconds, fifty eight, fifty seven.

Red Hood (picking up Spoiler): Come on, we're getting out together!

Red Hood raced out of the building with his friend. He didn't stumble or trip making it to the last exit. The bomb ticked down faster. Red Hood remembered staring at a bomb before everything went black.

That wasn't happening again!

Red Hood made it out of the building with Spoiler in his arms and he kept running just as the bomb made it to zero and exploded. They were safe. Red Hood placed Spoiler on the ground, breathing heavy.

Spoiler: Why didn't you... Go after him? You could've-

Red Hood hugged Spoiler remaining silent as the sound of flames crackling in the wind could be heard.

Spoiler (beaming): You do care about me!

Red Hood: Shut up.

Spoiler: I'm on the list with Cass and Dick? I feel so special.

Red Hood pulled back and removed his helmet. He smiled softly.

Red Hood: I hate him, but not enough to make someone I tolerate die. Count yourself lucky.

Spoiler tapped her chin for a second then clapped like Cass does.

Red Hood: You know you still have a bullet in your leg right?

Spoiler: Yeah and I'm in such much pain, but my new bestie saved me! So that eased some of the... Pulsing thigh pain.

Spoiler laughed, laying back on the ground. Red Hood smirked, patting the girl on her head to annoy her.

Red Hood: Whatever. You owe me.
