So this my first ever fanfiction! I am a real big Raven and Robin fan. This story is mostly circled around them. Anyway, if some of the dialogue sounds familiar is because I used some of the conversation from Raven and Robin in The End Part III. My story starts at the end of that episode except it has my own twist to it ;). Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Flames are also welcome. I want to know what I am doing wrong so I can improve myself as a writer. Well enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own the teen titans(Although that would be amazing if i did)
1: New Beginnings
The world was saved thanks to Raven, but she couldn't have done it without Robin. He was the one that sparked the hope in Raven which helped her defeat her father and to change her destiny. He was the one that rescued her from the underground. It was a great battle for the Titans but they managed to change the fate of the Earth. But after the defeat of Trigon the Titans retired to the Titan Tower.
All of them had different ways of relaxation after a major battle, some unique and some simple as white. Either way they relaxed as long as they could. Starfire was in the kitchen indulging her self with the leftovers out of the fridge, but she found the food to be "rather tasteless" so she solved her problem by drowning the food in mustard.
"Friends! Let us gather and devour the left-over's of the fridge!" Cyborg paused the game station and turned around to see Starfire vigorously squirting the yellow substance on his leftover ribs that he made the other night. Cyborg's eyes watered up. He darted to the kitchen counter. Bulky, metallic hands slammed on the counter with a thud. "Oh Star! You ruined them!" he continued on crying like a baby. "I was saving those for later!" "Cyborg please do not be upset by this…" she answered in an innocent voice. "I only made the left-overs taste much better!" A big smile crossed her face. She kept on cramming her face with ribs, occasionally stopping to squirt the ribs with mustard. The Metal Man looked at her with disgust.
The automatic doors slid open and out came Beast Boy with hand over mouth finishing a yawn. "Wooh! Nothing beats a long nap af-" Beast Boy caught the site of Starfire eating the ribs. "Awww man! Star, why are you eating meat! That's disgusting!" he exclaimed. "It taste magnificent dear friend! This magical mustard adds much needed flavor!" Beast Boy had no reply. Both Cyborg and Beast Boy stood watching the Tamaranean girl with a blank expression.
Away from the action, the masked boy stood calmly by the over sized window, gazing at the sun setting over the horizon of Jump City. Raven looked up from her old book and noticed how calm he was. She decided it was a good time she asked him something, that 'something' that was driving her insane. "How does he do it? How does he keep hoping?" She took a deep breath and set her book on the couch. Her pale legs carried her to the same place were Robin was standing. They both glared out the window in silence for what seemed forever to Raven until Raven broke the silence.
The girl faced Robin and asked "How do you do it, Robin?" "Do what?" his brow raised up in curiosity. "Keep hoping, after everything that happened… everything I did. How did you still manage to hope it would all work out?" He smiled at her question "Because of you." There was a slight pause "You don't realize it Raven, but you're actually the most hopeful person I've ever met. From the day you were born, they said you were evil. That you were created to do unspeakable things. But you wish for more. You dare to hope that you could be a hero." A slight blush came upon her face "I thought it was all over. And now, suddenly…" she said in her monotone voice. "You have your whole life ahead of you. You can decide your own destiny." He said peacefully. "I guess, in the end… there really is no ends, just… new beginnings." That statement came out in a lighter tone than her usual.
They both turned to the window and continued to watch the sun set. "You know Raven, speaking of new beginnings," a slight grin grew on his face "Raven, you're the only one that under-" Robin was interrupted by Cyborg.
"Hey you two heroes! Get over here! Don't think were gunna end this day without a toast!" Cyborg yelled these words with excitement. "Glorious! I do enjoy the toasting of the bread! Especially when it is dipped in the mustard." Star fire drooled at the idea. "Cyborg, shall I prepare the 'toast'?" "No Star, you're thinking about the wrong toast. Ay BB! Grab that champagne we've got in the refrigerator!" Beast Boy looked clueless at Cyborg "Champagne? When did we get that?" "I've had it just incase we have special occasions like these. Actually, there's two bottles. Grab both of them would ya?" "Sure thing dude!"
Raven and Robin walked to the kitchen area. Just as Cyborg was about to pop open the bottle of champagne Robin stopped him. "Allow me." "Sure thing, you're the boss. But I call next one." Cyborg put on a hearty smile.
"Pop!" went the champagne when robin opened it. They all laughed in amusement. Robin poured every Titan a glass of apple champagne. Starfire was astonished of the bubbles in the champagne. "This looks interesting. I must discover the taste of this champagne!" she said in a demanding voice. Just as she was about to take a gulp Robin stopped her. He put his hand on her arm "No Star, not yet. We have to make a toast first." She looked at him with a blank expression. "What is it with this 'toast'? The toast I know of you are supposed to consume it, correct?" Beast boy chuckled "No Starfire, not this kind of toast." Everybody laughed at the lack of Starfire's knowledge of Earthly Traditions.
Cyborg lifted his glass up and everybody else followed except Starfire. She had a confused look on her face. Beast Boy grabbed her arm and put it up with everyone else's. "To the saving of the Earth!" Cyborg cheered. Then Robin added on "And to new beginnings." As he said this he gave Raven a warm look. She caught this and blushed. The Titans all said this together "To the saving of the Earth and to new beginnings!" They all clinked there glasses and drank up there fizzy, alcoholic drink.
The rest of the night was crazy from that point on. Things were broken, stupid contests took place, and let's just say that the Titans weren't going to feel to swell in the morning. Well a couple were smart enough to take an aspirin before they went to sleep. What a mess they have waiting for them in the morning.
Well I hope you guys liked it! Remember reviews are welcomed! There shall be more chapters to come! Byeeeee!
