Chapter 2

Bedroom Issues

Deep moaning...

A ball of pale and green flesh, sweaty and writhing...

A shrill scream of pleasure rang out...

A lamp exploded...

Rose Williams shot up in her bed, her body covered in cold sweat. As she focused to slow her breathing, the young woman thought over what she had just seen in her sleep. "What the hell..." She spoke out-loud, to no one but herself. Glancing over to the clock, the swordfighter pulled herself out of bed, slipped on a tank top, some shorts, and her eyepatch, then stumbled to the kitchen, hoping that someone had remembered to reload the automatic coffee maker.

Stumbling through the kitchen, and inwardly swearing at the lack of coffee, Rose continued her path into the living room/command center. Jinx, Raven, and Kid Flash were nowhere to be seen, and Kid Devil and Beast Boy were both passed out on the couch with the title screen to Super Ninja Pirate Attack 4 flashing across the big screen. A rustle of curtains caught her attention, the patio door was wide open. Heading through the doorway, Rose leaned on the patio railing, watching the sunrise through the skyscrapers. "Beautiful, isn't it." A soft monotone from her blind side caught her off guard. Quickly turning, Rose saw Raven, floating a good three feet in the air in the lotus position. Letting out a soft sigh, the one-eyed woman turned back to the view, leaning on the patio railing. "Yeah, it really is..."

Floating down softly, Raven took a spot on the railing next to Rose, looking off into the sunrise. A thick cloud of tension began to grow in the air, so thick that Rose could feel it clinging to her skin. Finally, after several awkward moments, Raven sighed and spoke up. "So, is it true?"

Rose put her elbows up on the rail, resting her chin in her hands. "Is what true?" She had a good idea what the empath meant, but it never hurt to check these kinds of things.

Folding her arms across her chest, the half-demoness let out another sigh. "Last night the boys got to talking about their powers, where they came from...Eddie said something about you being the daughter of Slade...I just want to know..."

"If I'm trustworthy?" Rose cut Raven off with a smirk. She had expected this conversation to happen at some point. Standing up straight, the fighter continued in a more snide tone. "You cant choose who decides to knock boots to make you. I would think if anyone would understand that, it would be you."

The words cut deep, but Raven saw the truth of what was said. This really was in a way the pot calling the kettle black. "So, whats your connection to him?"

Rose sat a few moments, chewing her bottom lip before answering. "When I was a little girl, I was kidnapped and used for bait by someone wanting him dead. Turns out that that was his own brother. He saved me, started to raise me. Course, this was back before he went cuckoo, when he actually cared about things like honor. I never saw him at his best, but I saw him a whole lot better than he ended up. After awhile, he started giving me some seurm that he had given to him, shots of epinephrine every day on top to. Made me faster, stronger, and a hell of a lot less stable. I always wanted him to be proud of me, but he always picked others ahead of me, like I was never ready. Last I heard of him, I was in Moscow jacking some parts for him when he got swallowed up by a volcano. After that, I went on my own, which by the way is hard to do when you've been turned into an epinephrine addict by your own father. So yeah, he made me what I used to be, but Ive changed a lot since then, I think for the better..."

Drifting off, Rose turned to lean her back against the rail, only to spot Jinx heading through the doorway, a scowl across her face. "...grmanfrackinmackacoffee..."

Raven blinked slowly, trying to figure out what was said. Meanwhile, a devious grin grew across Rose's face, the woman trying very hard not to giggle herself over the railing. "Sooooo...let me guess, you and Wally had some fun last night..."

Jinx glared at her teammate, gritting her teeth. "At least I'm getting some..."

"Id rather have none then what your getting." The grin grew wider as a few giggles slipped out. Blushing softly, Raven stepped a step closer to the duo. "Someone care to let me in on the joke?"

As the hexcaster turned to explain to her friend, Rose punched the air and squinted her eye in glee. "Shes dating the fastest man in the world!" Snorting and laughing, the silver-haired Titan nearly fell over, Jinx just blushing deeply as she twiddled her thumbs.

"Wait..fastest as in..."

Jinx just nodded slowly, her blush spreading across her face. Raven also blushed, realizing she was now stuck in her most dreaded activity: girltalk.

Rubbing her arm, Jinx finally spoke up. "Its not like hes small or anything, hes fine there...its just...he goes at warp speed and is done before I even get started."

Taking a deep breath, Raven forced herself to concentrate and stay with it. She had a friend in need of help here! Flipping through in her mind the array of stories Starfire had shared without provocation, supplemented with her own secret erotica stash she had started collecting on her 17th birthday, the empath stumbled upon a possible answer. "Have you tried you on top?"

Jinx's eyes went wide in excitement as the idea tumbled in her head. Rose, now recovered and lounging on a chair, gave a soft chuckle. "Now that might work, why didn't you ever think of that Jinxy?"

TTTTTTTT

The sharp chirping mixed with vibrations in Beast Boy's front pocket was what woke him up. Quickly assessing his surroundings, the changeling pulled his communicator out of his pocket. It was Terra's personal code. Gritting his teeth, Beast Boy headed to the kitchen for some sense of privacy. "Hey, whats up?"

"Morning, snugglebuns." Terra replied in a highly chipper tone. "Just wondering when your coming back...Robin isn't being nice and keeps telling me he doesn't know."

"Well, we just got in yesterday, so I dunno, a couple more days I guess..."

"Yeah, but Raven can handle the rest, why don't you just head on home?" The blonde tilted her head slightly in the videofeed, a cute smile on her face. The comment confused Beast Boy, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

"Uh Terra? I cant just up and leave..."

Before he could even finish, the wheels came off. The cute smile melted away to an angry scowl. "I get it, you just want to spend more time with that emoslut than you do your own girlfriend!"

Beast Boy ground his teeth. The first time this had happened, he was in shock. This however was the 15th or so, and it was starting to piss him off. "Hey, what the hell Terra, Raven is your friend, remember? And while we're on peoples sex lives, why in the hell are you calling out Slade's name when Im going down on you, huh?"

"At least he had something worth riding, Beast Boy!" The soft words had now degraded to a full blown scream-fest on her end, and he wanted no part of it. With a savage roar from somewhere deep inside, the shapeshifter hurled the communicator straight at the window.

TTTTTTT

Thunk!

"What the..." The three girls turned to look towards the unbreakable glass, trying to figure out the noise when Kid Devil stuck his head out the open doorway. "Uhh ladies? We have a small problem with Beast Boy..."

TTTTTTTT

Kid Flash slammed the keyboard with his fist. "Goddamnit, how was he able to lock us out of our own system?"

The remaining Titans just watched through the viewing windows into the training room as a large green gorilla ripped the head off of a training robot. Raven crossed her arms and turned to the leader of Central. "He hangs out with Cyborg every day, he was bound to find out something like that. Just, let him be for now, he's angry. Once he's done, he'll come out."

"We may not have that option..." Rose leaned against the glass, holding her eyepatch, her other eye wide and darting. "I thought we set those laser cannons to stun."

Raven raised an eyebrow, looking over the training room. There were not laser cannons that she could see out. Confused, she turned to Kid Flash, who was busy typing as fast as the system would let him. As the lines of code scrolled across the screen, the speedsters eyes bulged out of his head in shock. "OH FUCK! He's killed the safety restraints! Raven, you've got to get in there and get him now!"

Sensing the urgency, Raven wrapped her cloak close around her body and phased herself through the glass into the training hall, gliding as fast as she could next to Beast Boy, who himself morphed back to normal upon seeing her. However, it could not be said that he was happy to see her. "Raven, get out of here, I don't want you to get hurt." He half-screamed, tears running down his cheeks.

"Beast Boy, whats gotten into you? Wally says you turned off the..." The sound of hydraulics cut Raven off. As she turned towards the noise, she spotted six large double-barrel turrets. "Right...laser cannons.." As the barrels started to glow, Raven raised a sphere of dark energy around the duo, grunting as the high-powered lasers bombarded the shield, straining her concentration. "Damnit...how strong did they make these...Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Shouting her mantra, the empath formed several tendrils growing out of the shield, each one bludgeoning the turrets into submission. With a scowl, she grabbed Beast Boy by the collar and pulled him along with her through the shadows.

Stepping into the observation room through the shadows, Raven half-dropped Beast Boy on the floor, who promptly threw up from a mix of anger, exhaustion, and the nausea he usually got when he teleported with Raven. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Kid Flash looked down at the changeling. "Mind letting me in on whats happening.?"

Groggily, Beast Boy looked up at his fellow Titan. "The girl I love is a two-timing bimbo bitch." And with that, he passed out from exhaustion in his own vomit.
