3. Getting Acquainted
While Robin and Edward were having their talk, the Titans took it to themselves to get to know the rest of the Cullens (and Jacob).
Beastboy and Cyborg seemed to be having a lot of fun talking to Jacob. "So…..you're a werewolf?" Beastboy asked with astonishment.
"Uh, yeah!" Jacob said back, pleased with himself.
"You know," Beastboy said, thinking," I think I can spare a few of my uniforms! We could sew two of them together and BING! Werewolf suit!" The whole time he said this, he was accompanying it with hand motions, and ended it with his legs spread apart and his hands in the air.
Jacob looked at him with utter disbelief. "Dude! You would seriously do that! You're amazing!" He pulled Beastboy into a bear-hug that rivaled with Starfire's. Beatboy gasped out," Jacob….can't …breathe!"
Jacob sighed," Why does everyone say that when I hug them?" Then he let Beastboy down, who dusted himself off before saying," Dude, seriously though. It's nothing! Right Cy?"
Cyborg folded his arms across his chest. "Hum, I don't know Beastboy. Do you think he's worthy of it?" Beastboy stared blankly at him for a second then caught on and they both stood next to each other and gave Jacob an evil smile. Jacob had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. "What?" he asked them, anxious.
Cyborg smiled even bigger," Okay dude, you've got three choices." He held up three fingers to make the message clear. Beastboy started," First, you can go through our Titan's initiation" then he held up a dress and rubber chicken that he seemed to have gotten out of nowhere. Cyborg continued," Second….you can eat some of Star's Tameranian food." Jacob assumed it was probably horrible by the way they said it. "And the third choice?" he asked them
Cyborg said," And thirdly…" both boys looked like they were about to explode before they shouted at the same time ,"YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT US A SUPER SMASHBROS. BRAWL!"
They looked at Jacob for an answer. At first Jacob was only looking down. Then he looked up with them with a look that made both of the Titan's evil grins look like an insignificant turn on their mouths. Jacob just said," I get to be Mario!"
Cyborg punched the air and shouted, "BOOO YAH! I love this guy! I get the blue controller, Jacob gets the purple, and The Grass Stain gets the old one!" then with a small "Hey!" from Beastboy, they all headed to the couch to play their game.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room…
Raven stared at the boys as they continued to shout and laugh as they played the game. She blew her hair out of her face and said, "Boys."
Alice walked up to her and said," I feel your pain Raven." Raven looked at her, confused. "Is Edward really that bad, or is he just really good at making first impressions?" she said in her monotone voice. She had trouble believing that the tall, clean-cut guy that had come in could behave like someone like Beastboy or Cyborg.
Alice laughed and shook her head," No, Edward isn't bad most of the time, but Cyborg really does resemble our brother Emmett." She laughed at the memory of Emmett yelling at them to get the Titan's autograph before they left.
Raven raised an eyebrow at her. "Just how many people are in your family?"
Alice blew out a breath before she went on," Well… there's our dad, Carlisle. He's a doctor, completely oblivious to a human's scent. I still wonder how he does it. There's his wife, Esme. Rosalie, our sister, and her husband Emmett, whose tough one second then like a big brother the next. Then there's my husband, Jasper. He can sense emotions of other people and influence what people feel if he has to."
Raven's mouth curved into a small smile," Big family. We could use Jasper around here. Maybe he'd be able to stop the endless fights over tofu and meat at breakfast everyday. I can sense other's emotions, but that doesn't mean that I get to control them." Raven paused. "You know, you and me are kind of the same too."
Alice smiled at Raven, happy that she was just her height, and not taller than her like everyone else. "Yeah. It is pretty nice to have another person with visions. As a matter of fact…it's nice to see anyone that makes me feel normal. Let's face it….I could be green." Alice giggled, pointing at Beastboy.
Raven smiled at her, then caught something that ran through Alice's head. "Alice," she looked at Raven," I like poetry, meditation, and herbal tea. If you have a need to go shopping, that's more of Starfire's area of expertise. I'm pretty sure she'll like it more than me or Bella."
Alice got the message, and nodded, smiling at Raven. "Well, me and Star just might have to drag both of you guys there….for good times sake." Raven nodded and then started filling in Alice on some of the good places to go in Jump City.
Meanwhile, sitting in the kitchen…
Starfire had taken to Bella and Nessie. She was still interested on Bella's past, and asked her about her life as a human. Bella's story had gone on for a long time. When she was done she was out of breath, and both Starfire and Nessie (who had never heard her story in so much detail) stared at her in awe.
"That is the most amazing thing I have ever heard Bella." Star exclaimed. "It was so romantic! I have never heard of anything similar to it!"
"That's what Carlisle tells me all the time." Bella laughed. "He always says that if from when we first met, to when we stopped the Volturi from taking Renesmee away, would ever be written as a book and published….it would be a number one seller all over the world." (A/N: hehe…. irony!)
Nessie smiled at her mother, then looked at Starfire. "So, you're from a planet called Tamaran…right." she asked. Renesmee was always the person that wanted to know everything. Emmett always called her the Curious Cullen.
Starfire smiled down at Nessie," Oh yes! I do come from Tamaran. It is one of the most glorious places in the universe! Well…besides Earth of course."
Nessie already had her next question, and said it right after Starfire ended her answer for her last one. "So, do all Tamaranians fly and shoot stuff from their hands?" Starfire giggled softly. "All of my people can fly, but I am almost positive that only me, and my sister can shoot starbolts." She charged up one of her starbolts, and both vampires stared at the shining circle of green light that encircled her hand with amazement. Bella looked up at Star's face and, for a second, she thought she could see a trace of a frown. But as soon as she saw it, it was replaced with a smile as Starfire hear Jacob shout.
"YESSSS!!!! I WON! I GET A UNIFORM!" he shouted to the world. Bella, Starfire, Alice, and Nessie all laughed at his reaction, even Raven was having a hard time keeping a straight face.
Beastboy ran up to Jacob and gave him a high-five. Cyborg slapped his hand on Jacob's back. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" Cyborg shouted.
Beastboy pulled on Jacob's hand as he led him to his room. "Come on Tin Man! I need you as a sewing machine!" Bestboy shouted to Cyborg as he dragged Jacob down the hall.
Bella laughed, "It seems you have quite a family Star."
Star blushed slightly and giggled again. "I believe once you get acquainted to them, you enjoy their company more." She suddenly sighed and softly said," I can tell you a number of times when we have almost lost a member of our team." I can also tell you of one we have already lost she thought to herself, thinking about Terra.
Suddenly Cyborg and Beastboy burst in the common room with a megaphone.
Nessie laughed and said," Wow! Is that record timing or what? They were in there.." she checked the time on her watch," like two minutes!"
"Ladies and Gentleman…me and Beastboy would like to present!" Cyborg shouted into the megaphone, causing everyone to cover their ears.
Beastboy grabbed the megaphone from his hand. "The new and improved.." but before he could continue, Raven grabbed the mike with her powers and threw it against the opposite wall. The boys just shrugged and continued.
"JACOB!" they both screamed. And with that cue, Jacob ran past them, wearing what looked like an oversized Beastboy uniform, except it didn't have his belt or gloves.
"Guys, this is awesome, check this out." Jacob suddenly phased into his trademark, reddish-brown wolf.
All the Titans stared at the werewolf, dumbstruck. Cyborg could just make out," Dog!" he stared, wide-eyed at Jacob, slightly pointing to the huge canine in his living room.
And Beastboy, always the one to point out the obvious, said," Yo! Jacob, you know the full moon's not out until Friday?"
Jacob phased back to a human and looked down. The uniform was still there. "Awesome! I don't have to carry around extra clothes when I phase." then he remembered Beastboy's question. "Oh, and we aren't the same as the myths either. I can change whenever I want! And pack members can communicate with our minds when we're all in our wolf form."
Jacob then took the liberty of battling the boys at another match on the game system and they all headed over to the couch.
Bella laughed a little at them, then remembered Starfire's frown after she had told them about her powers. She was about to ask her about it when the door to the hall opened.
Edward walked out, giving a small nod to Alice before sitting down at the counter beside his wife. "Hey, Starfire," the red-headed girl looked over at him," I think Robin needs to talk to you about something." he pointed back to the closed door of the hall he just came out of.
Starfire got a bad feeling when she looked at Edward's face. It looked tired and distant. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.
She nodded at him and went into the hall Robin was in.
In the hall
Robin was leaning against the blue wall in the hallway. How was he going to tell the team? Certainly he couldn't go up to them and say 'Hey, you guys are going to die in about two days.' The one thing he did know, was that Starfire had to be the first person to know. He needed to warn her, to keep her out of danger. If he didn't, then all the things Alice saw could come true.
Robin ran a hand through his raven-black hair. He had thought about leaving the Tower, but he just couldn't bring himself to leave not only the Titans, but the girl he loved. It was one thing he didn't have the strength to do.
"Robin?" he heard Starfire calling his name softly. He had to tell her. If he didn't do it now, he knew he wouldn't be able to tell her later. "Over here Star," he answered her. His voice sounded rough and low, more like a grown man's than a teenager's.
Starfire heard him answer her, and by the tone of his voice, she knew that whatever he wanted to tell her, wasn't something good. She rounded a corner and skidded to a halt at the sight of Robin. His hair was messed up, and he was looking at the floor. All the color had drained from his face, making him look dead. But the worst thing was the expression on his face. It said that he was giving up, that he had no hope, that he had already lost everything, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Starfire just stared at him for a moment. She couldn't figure out if he even knew she was there. She shook her head, snapping out of her trance. Star walked over to Robin an placed her hand on his shoulder lightly.
That was enough to announce her presence. Robin looked up at her, he tried to make words come out to tell her about the vision, but every time he tried to start, he could feel more and more hot tears filling his eyes. He looked back towards the ground. I can't do this.
Star looked at him with concern. "Robin? What is the matter?" she framed her hands around his face, tuning his head so he would look at her.
"Robin…" she tried again, but was cut off when he grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. She hugged him back, uncertain about the events that caused him to act like this.
Robin held her tight, not wanting to let go. Two silent tears escaped his eyes and traveled down his cheeks. He then leaned back and gave her a loving kiss. Star melted into his embrace, deepening the kiss. It was a moment Robin didn't want to end. He wanted to forget his future, he wanted to forget about the creatures that were supposed to come in two days, and he wanted to forget it all.
Robin broke the kiss and pulled Starfire into a tight hug again. He spoke to her in a heartbroken voice," Star, I just want you to know, that no matter what happens I love you. And I will always love you, and don't think that will change. Because there's no force anywhere that can change my mind about you."
Starfire had closed her eyes while listening to his voice. She gently rubbed his back with her hand, trying to calm him down. "Robin, I know that, and I have always known that. I love you too." she told him in a gentle voice. Then a thought came to her mind," Does this have anything to do with Alice's vision?" she asked him.
Robin immediately tensed at the mention of her vision. He pulled back from her to where he could clearly see her face. He caressed her cheek with his hand. He slowly took a deep breath.
"Star, you're…" but he couldn't finish because just then, the Titan alarm rang throughout the Tower.
Okay...so there wasn't a bunch of stuff in this chapter. But seeing that it ended with the alarm, there will be more action in the next chapter! hope you liked it. If you didn't......PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!!!!!!!! lurv Oliver!
