Well, here's a first attempt at writing something I'm not ashamed to post. Give a n00b some pointers and review.
The late-setting sun was struggling to remain lit as it fell behind the watery horizon that laid out before the Titans. Not that any of them had cared to notice. The tower, in lieu of any real crime or event, had become a relative madhouse of pent-up anxiety mixed with the tension that is only caused by extreme boredom.
"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?"
Two weeks of being locked in the same place had put a strain on everyone, but the latest in the heated Robin-Starfire debates had been the only real sign of the teenage superheroes' need to do SOMETHING. Though it did prove a good, even if a little cruel, source of entertainment for the remaining Titans who had read every book and played every game in sight.
"YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHERE IT CAME FROM, YOU…YOU…"
Here Starfire shouted something in her language so vulgar it made Raven gasp as all of the others stared in ignorance, mystified by such a colorful string of vowels and consonants.
"…I'm a wha?"
"YOU HEARD ME YOU JERK! IS THAT MORE TO YOUR EARTH-SPEAK? I cannot believe you would expect me to fall for your lies! You Do not think I don't know what is going on! Why else would you refuse to be on the "going-outs" as you call it? I'm not stupid, though you do appear to think so," the Tamaranian princess yelled, her voice seeming to swallow the room as her anger grew more intense.
"Now Starfire," the infinitely calmed Robin spoke gently, "Though I'm still not sure what you're accusing me of, I'm terribly sorry for not going out with you. But if you'd like to discuss it, you think we could do so in private?"
This level-headed speaking only further enraged the alien, as she became impossibly loud once again.
"I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THIS IN PRIVATE! I WILL TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT HERE! NOW IF YOU INSIST ON REFUSING TO LET ME BE YOU FRIEND-THAT-IS-A-GIRL, YOU MUST TELL ME WHO THIS OTHER WOMAN THAT HAS COME AND TAKEN YOUR HEART IS!"
At this point the other three titans were ducked behind the couch, afraid of Starfire turning her anger towards them.
"Star clearly having rejection issues" Cyborg whispered to Beast Boy as quietly as possible.
"Hear that, Raven? I'm not sure who we should be defending here. I always thought the Boy Wonder and Star were made for each other, what do you think?" Beast Boy looked next to him, to where Raven had just been, but to his horror found her walking up next to Robin.
As Raven began to enter the fray Beast Boy whispered frantically, "She's going to get herself killed!" Cyborg replied quickly, " For once that girl need to NOT use her biting wit. I can't look."
"Starfire, I really think it's time for us to have a little…uh…girl talk?" Raven began hesitantly.
Starfire's anger immediately drained for a few seconds as she heard Raven's rare invite. "Really, Raven? Oh how I would love to!" Turning to Robin again "This is not over!"
Sweatdropping, Raven walked Starfire into her room, sitting her down on the black bed, Raven began, "Now Star, what happened and how do you know Robin has his eyes on someone else?"
"Well, as we had all been so bored recently, I figured this would be a most excellent time to ask Robin on a "date". So I went up to him and asked him if he would like to accompany me to the mall of shopping as a friend-that-is-a-boy would to his girl. I was sure he would agree to, as I am so fond of him and was sure he felt the same. To my horror he said that he was unable to accompany me as anything more than a friend because he only felt of me the way a friend feels for another. Why then friend Raven I remembered that on the television, when a boy will not proceed with the going out with a girl it meant that he loved another. This made me terribly angry, for I could not imagine who he could like more than me. When I confronted him well… you know what followed." Starfire ended, trailing off.
"Starfire," Raven began, sighing on the inside, "A boy does not always have to like another girl to not be willing to date the one that asked him out. I'm certain that our Boy Blunder wouldn't even KNOW any girls that he could like better than you. I'm sorry he only feels you're a friend, but you needn't worry about another woman, the groupies Robin meets are defiantly not competition." She finished with a small smile, trying to cheer the crushed princess up.
"Thank you, dear friend Raven, for your words but, I think I have come to the conclusion of who My dear Robin is fond of. I do think it would have been obvious if I had not been so caught up in my own feelings for him. I shall confront him after this."
With a sigh Raven gave up on arguing with the girl, half way to the living room they had been in, the alarms went off and from the large room they could here a certain green shape shifter yell "Hallelujah!" as the lull in crime had appeared to come to an end.
There ya have it, post more when I get SOME form of a comment on it. My goal is to beat the longest story I found. At over 2.5 million words that's saying something, so maybe my next story, eh? .;;;;
