Annoyed Unknown - AAUL2

by Wrenna

AN- Long time, eh! To be honest, I lost all interest in this story as well as in writing. But I had an idea for a new TT fic and got all inspired to start writing this one again. So I apologize to all of you who enjoy this story and have been waiting forever. Hopefully my inspiration stays and i'll have the next chapter out before next year, ehehe.

Disclaimer: I don't own the teen titans or anything else own by DC Comics. I do own Shayla. Moonfire and Sunfire are owned by Nate Sindel. Warning for some language and a bit of naughty Robin.

shoutout to nate sindel, who wrote the whole kitchen scene between moon and sun. thanks )

enjoy...


"Sweet Lord in Hell! It's over...the pain..the horror!" Raven dropped various plastic bags to the ground with a heavy and overly dramatic sigh - including the back of her hand pressed to her forehead in a mock swoon - and flopped backwards onto the oversized sofa...

After arriving home from school with Jinx and Terra, they decided a trip to the mall was in order. The two girls raced up the stairs and were soon glomping Mrs. Logan and pleading to use her car. Raven stop at the phone in the kitchen, shaking her head lightly to the actions of her friends. She dialed the desired number and didn't have to wait long for it to be answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sun, it's Raven, we'll heading out now to come pick up the girls."

"Alright, I'll let them know. See you then."

"Sure." Raven replaced the receiver and gathered her friends up.

In a kitchen not far away, Sunfire and Moonfire stood, a duffel bag and sleeping bag sitting on the table. A pot of what appeared to be soup was cooking on the stove. Sunfire pushed the blonde hair out of his eyes and added a pinch of salt.

"So, you've got everything?" he asked glancing at the ingredient list on the counter, not turning around.

"Yeah," she sighed rolling her obsidian eyes.

"Sleeping bag?"

"Yes."

"PJs?"

"Yes."

"Toothbrush and toothpaste?"

"Yes."

"Clean set of clothes..."

"Yes."

"...including underwear?" an unseen smirk and eyebrow raise.

"Nate?"

"What, answer the question."

"Yes," she huffed.

"Spare glove?"

"Yes."

"Contact supplies?"

"Yes."

"Okay, now, if Jinx asks if you want to try some Mary Jane, what do you say?"

"No, and what makes you think it would be her?"

"Because I know Raven, and Tara may like to drink, but I know she doesn't smoke pot," he grabbed a spice off the rack and added some to the pot. "Just want to cover all bases. What do you say if she asks Kori the same question?"

"I say, no she doesn't."

"Good, so you have your cell phone?"

"Always."

"All right then, call me anytime you want to come home," he scooped up some of the soup in a ladle and tasted it. "Ah, yup, it's ready."

"So, you making dinner for Kara?" Moon asked, stepping forward from where she was leaning, against the island, to see what it was.

"Yeah," he pushed his hair back again as he turned the temperature of the burner down. "I asked Kori what kind of soup that she likes, she told me chicken noodle."

"Ah...you know, I've never known anyone who didn't like your cooking," she snagged the ladle from him and scooped herself up some. "Hm, it tastes a little different, did you ad something?"

"Maybe," he placed the top back on the pot. "But I'm not telling."

"I know, 'ancient Sindel secret,'" she smirked a little as she turned to her brother. "Well, she's definitely lasted much longer than everyone else, what gives, I thought you were going to be a bachelor forever?"

"Hmhm, she's different," he sighed, moving to the sink to wash his hands and the ladle. "She's different from what everyone else thinks of her, just like I'm different from what everyone thinks of me."

"Yeah, who would ever think that you were looking for an actual relationship," Moonfire rolled her eyes again.

"Exactly, she figured it out," another sigh and he hoisted himself up onto the counter, lifting his feet to lay them across the sink. "Something wrong?"

He had seen it, the tightening of her right hand around her left arm, the one with the glove; the look of pain that crossed her face. She looked up at him, the tears in her eyes were quite visible, even though she tried to blink them back. Her hand slowly pushed up her sleeve, grabbed the base of the glove, and was about to pull it off.

"Monica, don't," Sun slid off the counter and walked over to her. "Here, let me."

Reaching passed her, he opened the freezer, and pulled out an ice pack made to slide around the arm. Grabbing her arm, he slid the pack over her hand and up along her forearm. He looked up at her, and she nodded.

"How often has this been happening?"

"Not often, this is the first time in almost a month," she said, smoothing down the ice pack.

"A month? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think it was that important."

"I'd still like to know when it happens," he looked down at his watch. "Well, there's no time to talk now, the girls will be here soon, go tell Kori."

"Right, thanks Nate," she lowered her head a little as she went to get her stuff and inform Kori.

"What's a big brother for?" he asked rhetorically on his way to the front door.

Cooking in a steamy and warm kitchen took it's toll. Sun sailed through the front door, leaving it open and closing the screen door in it's wake. He inhaled deeply and pulled off his top, letting the gentle breeze cool him down and slid lazily into an oversized patio chair.

This was the sight the girls were greeted with then they pulled into the driveway; a scantily-clad Sunfire. Not that they minded much. They had piled out of the car and up the walkway. He of course flexed his bare chest once before pulling on a t-shirt and calling back into the house that they had arrived. He turned back to the girls. A frown flashed across his face, a hand lifted to his left shoulder and rubbed it gently, before his far-away gaze focused and he sent a smirk at the approaching trio.

Raven saw the frown and gesture and gave him a small smile. She knew about the fire that had scarred him and his sister years ago, before they moved to Jump City. How they had managed to escape the fire that not only took their home, but their parents also. It was how they decided the nicknames of Moonfire and Sunfire. Sun was hit in the shoulder by debris while protecting his little sister. A small amount had found it's way to her also and burned her hand and some of her forearm. The resulting burns looked like a sunburst and a crescent moon. Of course, Raven was one of very few people who knew this. She sighed and looked away, but not before catching Sun's wink.

"Well! Looks like God answered my prays and sent me a harem!" Sun's voice purred over them as they crowded onto the porch. Jinx and Terra did the usual - giggled.

Raven being Raven, gasped and looked around frantically. "What, where... I've always wanted to see an all male Harem!" That was followed up by the largest and cockiest of smirks she could muster. She soon found herself hanging upside-down and over his shoulder.

"You little brat! That was uncalled for!" Sun put on a scowl - even though he didn't take the comment to heart - and gave a quick smack to her ass with his free hand.

She squealed. Loudly. Jinx and Terra giggled harder. Sun let out a deep chuckle. Kori and Moon, who entered the porch just in time, tried to be discreet with the laughter but failed. Raven let out a sigh that could have been mistaken as a growl and struggled against the 'Golden God's' hold. He let her down after giving her thigh a saucy squeeze and sliding her down the front of his body. She gave him a look and firmly reminded him that she was currently off the shelf. The group joked and talked for a short while before all the girls got into the car and drove away. Sun waved them off. He had the weekend to himself and an empty house. He rubbed his hands together in the classic 'I'm making evil plans' way before making a call. Sun smiled when the other line was answered. "Kara... "

... Raven pushed herself up into a sitting position on the sofa and kicked the nearest bag. "Damn bloody mall."

"Hey...stop abusing the merchandise." Jinx moved the bags away from Raven and her feet. The rest of the girls were in similar agreement with Raven and sprawled about the room. The mall had been packed. And with Terra and Kori along they had ventured into more stores then the usual haunts of Hot Topic, Spencers and the few choice book stores. For this, Raven wasn't pleased. They had also made a stop the the local grocery store. Snacks of all kinds were bought as well as eggs and toilet paper. Jinx had plans.

Silence rang throughout the room as the girls relaxed and caught their breathe. Once they were refreshed enough they were buzzing around the room. Snacks got put aside. Bags were emptied. Music was turned on. The girls chattered, and joked, tried on clothes and new make-up. The sleep-over had begun.


'Three hours my ass' the light-eyed male thought to himself as steamy and hot water cascaded over his well-toned body. He pulled his head away from the fall of water long enough to scoff. Their planned drive of three hours had turned to six due to rush-hour traffic and Gar's need to stop and use a restroom. Raven would have made Gar hold it. It was a good idea and filed away for the ride back. 'Raven..' The male turned around beneath the water and grinned when his "Lil' Robin" sprang to life at the mere thought of the Goth Queen. Especially now that his thoughts were wandering over all the times he and Raven had kissed and petted. Robin groaned and let his hand slip down to his throbbing friend.

Awhile later found him refreshed and being openly harassed. Apparently his shower went on for "girly lengths" in time according to Garfield. Victor was quick to remind Gar that if he hadn't accidently - the jury was still out on that view - dropped his milk-shake over Richard's head at the diner, he wouldn't have to shower in the first place.

Gar rolled his eyes in a way that reminded everyone that he was indeed related to Raven, before returning his attention to the video game as Robin sat next to him on the couch.

"Besides..." Robin paused long enough to smirk "Long showers are the usual result when I fantasize about your cousin."

The reaction was slow in the coming for Gar. Victor had choked on the gulp of soda he had taken and coughed and sputtered. Gar turned to Robin and cocked his head, his fingers slowing to a stop on the game controller- which led to the death of his character. He blinked. Robin smiled big. Gar's eyes widened and his mouth fell open to complete the look of total disgust before he threw himself over the couches arm to wither on the floor.

Robin chuckled as he grabbed up the dropped controller and began to play, sending a grin to Victor, who caught his breathe and was now standing. A knock sounded at the door and Victor answered it. Shayla greeted him with a kiss and moved into the room, her arm laded with catalogs. She greeted Gar - who was still doing his impression of a fish land-locked - with a raised brow before waving him off with a hand and sitting on the couch. Robin nodded his hello.

"Here they are, the events and activity books for the Con." She dropped them onto the coffee table, scooped up the top one and leafed through it.

Gar had forgotten all about Robin and his cousin and pushed Victor out of the way to get one himself. It earned him a slap on the arm from Shayla, and a punch to the shoulder from Victor.

Robin turned the game off and joined them. The next few hours were filled with many discussions about the goings on of the the Con and the games.


"OK. So tell us again why we're doing this?"

"Because."

Purple eyes scanned over the figures huddled together behind a large bush. It had been hours since they did the typical girly sleep-over thing. Though Raven would never admit out loud that she enjoyed it, she was kind of glad it was over. But now she was wondering why she was still friends with the pink-haired terror.

Of course they had all known the girl had something planned. The eggs and toilet paper confirmed it. But Jinx was a trickster and wouldn't reveal her plans, so when it was dark enough for her liking, she loaded the ammo back into plastic bags and handed each girl one. Once that was done, they gathered their coats and followed her outside. The only light available was casted from the moon, and she refused the use of flashlights. Like lambs to the slaughter, they followed her as she weaved a confusing path through backyards, sidewalks, and even over a fence, to end up about one block away from the house and huddled behind a bush.

Raven repeated her question as she, and the other three girls, eyed the house before them. Kori and Moon kept looking nervously at each other and then to Jinx. It hadn't took more then three seconds to realize whose house it was; the name SLADE hung from a plaque beneath the mailbox and again from the porch. Jinx ignored the question and babbled on.

"Isn't it great. Mr. Slade is on vacation and happens to live a block away. Perfect I'd say."

"Yeah sure, but are you sure he's still gone?' Terra asked.

"Of course he is. I think."

Raven and Terra shared a look before turning to Kori and Moon. "Give us your bags" Raven demanded, her hand making a grabby motion toward the girls.

"What!" Jinx hissed at Raven. Everyone was staring at now.

"Yeah, you're right" Raven continued "Keep the bags, it'd be too much for us." She turned away from the house and pointed down the road to the street corner that lead them back to her house. "I want you guys to go and wait there for us. That way if anything happens over here, you're far enough away to get a head start and get back to my house, got it?"

The girls nodded in agreement and didn't attempt to hide their sighs of relief. Jinx stomped a foot and turned Raven to face her.

"What are you doing!"

"Think will ya! Moon's only fifteen and Kori is..well...Kori. If by any chance this gets found out, or we get caught tonight, I'd rather us get in trouble and not drag them into it."

Jinx thought about it with much huffing and foot stomping but agreed in the end. Kori and Moon made their way to the corner and hid beside yet another bush, though they could still see the others and the house.They watched as the trio toilet papered the bushes and small trees that graced the property and giggle quietly. They also kept look-out for any approaching cars or neighbors coming out or lights being turned on. Luckily none of that had occurred, yet anyways. It was after the trio egged the yard and mailbox that things turned sour. They ran to the safety of the bush that separated the Slade's driveway from the neighbors, eggs in hand, and pelted them at the garage. At least a dozen eggs had met their death before one egg sailed through the air lower then the rest, to splat loudly against the security censor that triggered the alarm system within the house.

The girls froze and their hearts pounded as loudly as the alarm system, which they were sure everyone on the street could hear. In the time it took Raven to turn her head around and spy that Kori and Moon had already hauled ass and back around, not only had all the flood lights turned on, but lights within the house itself were turning on, in a trail that was heading, for all they could guess, straight for the front door.

They looked at one another and screamed. As the front door opened, they were out of the neighbors drive way and running down the street, their plastic bags of ammo held tightly in their hands and smashing against their bodies. They didn't stop for anything, even when they heard their disgruntled teacher bellowing out into the night about stupid kids, quitting his job and longer vacations.

The girls only stopped when they were all on Raven's front porch and greeted by the other two. After minutes of catching their breathe, looking over their shoulders and jumping to any sound that could be heard, they all fell into a fit of laughter and made their way into the house. The bags and what was left from the adventure, where tossed in the trash. It was late and after what had happened, no one was in the mood to stay up and watch movies, like planned. Everyone found their spot to sleep. Some in their sleeping bags on air mattresses and the rest on the couches. They laid there in silence, exhausted, but too hyped up to fall asleep.

"He was fucking home!" Jinx screeched and pounded her fist against the mattress beneath her.

Another fit of laughter rang out and Jinx spoke out again.

"So what should we do tomorrow night?"
