It'd been a week since Dick's secret tryst with Poison Ivy, and everything was working out...at least it appeared to be that way. As much as Dick wanted to jump right into a long-delayed sexual relationship with his Tamaranean girlfriend, it would be way too suspicious for him to suddenly be interested in being intimate with Kory after keeping her on a dry spell for so long...
So instead, Dick opted to make his interest in Kory more subtle; whether it be through their kisses becoming more sensual and tongue filled, touching his foot with hers under the table, even daringly copping a feel of Kory's breast while going shopping out at the mall.
If Kory was suspicious of Dick's being more sexually forward, she didn't show it, being more than happy to respond to his affections. And from there, their relationship seemed to grow closer than it had ever been before, and Dick was just glad that the shame of virginity (and his lie) was no longer a deterrent to the love he'd kept at arm's length with his girlfriend.
All I need now to ruin everything is for Poison Ivy to show up tonight seeking revenge for running off on her, or worse, reveal that I fucked her to Kory, grimaced Dick to himself as he pulled on his casual grey-and-black jacket over his plain black shirt.
Dick shook his paranoid thoughts out of head. If Kory did find out about his infidelity, he would have been killed immediately. She'd pummel him to death, then vaporize what's left of him with her star bolts... But that wasn't going to happen. There was no sign of Ivy or her plants spying on them in the Titans Tower all week, and Dick certainly wasn't going to "check" on her status. Bludhaven was quiet, and Dick preferred it that way. It was movie date night with Kory, and tonight he would seal the deal with her.
Luckily, the Titans Tower was mostly empty besides Dick, Kory...and Raven, so that their date shouldn't have any interruptions. The Titans were pretty much disbanded at this point. Donna was in Themyscira,Victor went off to join the Justice League, Wally was helping the Flash with something in Central City, Roy was out "soul searching", Garfield was teaming up with Vixen and B'Wana Beast fighting some supervillain poachers in Africa, and Aqualad was doing who knows what.
Dick and Kory had already talked about how they shouldn't just use the Tower as a home when it should instead be for the next generation of young heroes. Dick, in fact, had plans to propose to Kory that she move into a cottage or bungalow with him in the outskirts of Jump City after they moved out of Titans Tower.
God, he loved Kory. Dick could already see what life with just the two of them would be like...though at the moment Kory would be the breadwinner of the relationship with her modeling career. Dick didn't have a steady civilian job, he was always too busy being Nightwing most of the time, but he'd find something. He definitely didn't want to go back depending on Bruce for money-
Speaking of dependence, Dick didn't outright say it, but he was starting to get annoyed with Raven's lack of interest in moving out. Though he did feel bad for her, since not only did Raven not have a connection to anyone else on Earth besides the Titans, but she also had an unrequited crush on Dick himself...
Raven was very aware of Dick getting closer to Kory, and as a result she'd been moodier than ever. Dick figured that she'd gotten the gist that he and Kory wanted the Tower for themselves that Friday night, and the day before she casually told them that she was going to visit her mother in Azarath for no apparent reason. Dick still burned with guilt when he heard how distraught Raven was. He didn't mean to hurt her so much, or "flaunt" his relationship with Kory in her fac-
Wait, why should I feel bad for Raven? thought Dick as he left his room to meet Kory in the living room, She's not my girlfriend. Sure, I DID want her, but it's not like I love her like I love Kory. She's just sexy like Ivy is, and-
Dick stopped, closed his eyes, and breathed. There was no need to think about anyone else but Kory, especially tonight.

"Dick, you look so dashing!" exclaimed Kory as Dick entered the living room. "What do you think of my outfit?" Kory herself was dressed in a purple sweater that left her right shoulder and red bra strap exposed. It did nothing to hide her curvaceous body, and the black yoga pants she wore accentuated her firm and juicy ass...
"You looked beautiful" Dick replied numbly, mentally hitting himself for coming up with such a generic compliment.
Kory gave Dick a quick peck, and added "Really, Dick? You always say I'm beautiful. How about a different word, like sexy or fuckable?" She wrapped her arms around Dick's arms.
So that's how it's going to be.
Dick placed his arms on Kory's slender yet toned waist. Getting close to Kory's adoring face, (admittedly he had to stand on his toes, his alien girlfriend was, after all, about an inch taller than him) he teased her with a kiss, and then whispered into her ear "So provocative already, Kory, really now-what about movie night?"
Kory giggled and whispered into Dick's ear, "Why can't we have movie night in your room? So we can...Netflix and Chill, right?"
Dick turned to look into Kory's green eyes, which were giving him a loving look that nearly melted his heart...
Kory then won the small race they had running to Dick's room.

Dick was half-listening to Kory as he sat on the edge of his bed while Kory listed off options for "rom-coms" that they could watch. He wasn't really a fan of romantic comedies, and he didn't think he and Kory would be doing too much "watching" anyways.
This was why he didn't notice Kory put away the tv remote and started connecting her phone's AirPlay to his television.
"Dick, what do you think about Some Kind of Beautiful? Or how about Can You Keep a Secret? Ooh! I know what'll be perfect for tonight- this video of you fucking Poison Ivy!"
"I think they're all good, Kor- wait, WHAT?!" Dick half-shouted as his head shot upright instantly, not fully processing what his girlfriend said as she pressed play on her phone.
The TV then cut to a shaky camera-angle view from above of the greenhouse Dick had visited a week earlier, and as the video resolution cleared, the sight of himself restrained by the vines with Ivy licking his ear was very visible to the horrified Dick.
