Titan Tidbits

I do not own the Teen Titans, but only wish to write drabbles and take them along for the ride.

Please excuse any grammar or spelling errors.

Enjoy.

Routine pt1

Despite first impressions that the others may have conjured, settling into team life after the tower was built a full 3 months after the idea of a team was formed was not a picnic. Granted, having some bonding time over battles and pizza did evaporate some of the awkwardness between the budding members, but when the mayor had cut the ribbon in the official ceremony of welcoming the group into Jump City, the conception of 'roommates' finally sunk into the teenagers minds.

The first month of living together was awkward to say the least.

Clashing of routines was to be expected, and the small tiffs that broke out because of them were also considered. But they held fast, and into the second month a group routine was slowly taking shape.

Beastboy would rise first, if only to welcome the sun in a rooster form before slinking off to bed for an hour or two more of sleep.

Raven followed, sometimes mediating on the roof as the sun rose before waiting in the common room for breakfast.

Robin was in the common room by 7:30 am, whether he was up earlier doing 'secret Robin-leader-type-things' was unknown to the company.

Cyborg was making breakfast by 8:00 sharp, usually to make his meat lovers breakfast without the complaints of a certain grass stain.

Starfire was up between 8:30-9:00, and always made a few laps around the tower before settling in the common room.

Then Beastboy would appear around 9:40 once again, yawning and crusty-eyed, and would challenge Cyborg to a game.

All in all, it was comfortable routine and once cemented, it was rarely thrown off balance.

Until one spring morning that is…TBC

Late Night

Stirring the warm liquid, Raven felt slightly intrusive in the silence of the kitchen. The microwave blaring 2:09 am in soft blue light, Raven winced when the spoon clinked against the side of her mug. Grabbing a can, a slight fizzing sound broke the silence before it was magiced back to the refrigerator.

Holding the mug to her lips, Raven paused in contemplation of returning to her room before enjoying the beverage. But the sweet aroma called her name, and she took a deep sip. Sighing in bliss, the empathy startled when one of the overhead lamps flickered on.

Robin blinked, clad in a cotton pajama set with his own mug in hand empty of his power source coffee. Raven blinked back, and somewhere in the back of her mind wondered if their fearless leader ever took his mask off. The seconds passed, before Raven acknowledge him with a tilt of her head, and fast walked out of the common room at a nervous pace.

But as Robin filled up his mug with some fresh coffee, a smirk rose to his lips at the image of a wide-eyed Raven with a slight whipped cream moustache from her hot chocolate. He would have to remember to put some more on the shopping list.

Shadow

It was only a matter of time.

He had seen the recognition on Cyborg and Beastboy's faces that first night they had met. They knew who he was, or rather, who he used to be connected with. And it wouldn't take long for the two to tell the girls about his old partnership, so they would know as well.

It was only a matter of time.

Soon there would be questions. Questions about old stories; trying to discern between what the tabloids printed and the truth. Queries about training, weapons, maybe even eating habits. The possibilities were endless.

It was only a matter of time.

Then he might be swallowed by the looming shadow of his predecessor once again, the very thing he was trying to escape when he came to Jump City. He would be Boy Wonder, the sidekick, once more, and there was barely anything to do about it.

"H-Hey Robin? I know we've only been a team for a few weeks now but I was wondering…"

"If you want to meet Batman, I'm afraid I can't make it happen. We're not exactly on each other's good sides at the moment."

"A-Actually I wanted your autograph. Not that meeting the big guy wouldn't be cool or anything but you've always been a big inspiration to me when I was growing up, as corny as it sounds heh heh."

As Robin accepted Beastboy's scrap of paper with slightly trembling hands, his heart got lighter and he couldn't stop the ear splitting grin that wrinkled his mask.

After all it was only a matter of time…until someone recognized his talents as a leader.

So here you have it! First set of drabbles down! I'll try to write either 3 or 4 drabbles in each chapter, while some drabbles have sequels (like Routine pt1) the others would most likely stand alone. I hope you've enjoy reading them.

Reviews save kittens. Remember that.
