('Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around...'
I'm such a dork. And possibly addicted to Sweeney Todd.)
Several pairings, possibly every one I could fit in... 'Costume'
Robin glanced at his dark green prince outfit once again. He set the golden crown on his head. "Only for Star." He whispered, feeling slightly embarrassed. His door opened. "Robin... do I look okay?" Robin turned around and saw Starfire... in a gorgeous blue dress and a silver tiara on her head.
He didn't even know what to say. "Whoa... Star... you look really, really good." Robin finally managed to say. Starfire blushed. "Thank you. I believe our friends are waiting in the car." "Oh, yeah." Robin wasn't regretting his costume choice anymore.
Jump City was holding a gigantic costume ball, and anyone was invited. Several honorary titans had also agreed to come out, including Titan's East.
Cyborg tilted up his visor. He was a white knight. "Yo, what took you two so long?" He yelled out the window. "I could not locate my tiara. Do I look alright, Raven?" Raven gave her a thumbs up, still trying to straighten her black robes (She was a witch). Beast Boy fiddled with the black cat ears he had put on. "I'm your familiar?" He asked. "Yes, yes you are. Mind?" Raven asked.
Beast Boy shrugged. "At least the costume isn't itchy, like I'm pretty sure Robin's is." "It isn't." Robin quickly said, even though it was. He didn't want to hurt Starfire's feelings. "Is Sarah gonna be there? I enjoy her company." Starfire asked. Cyborg smiled. "Yeah... let's go!"
The car pulled up and the first people they met was Titan's East. "Hey, Rob, Sparky." Bumblebee was a vampire, fangs and all. Speedy was Robin Hood, the green hat tilting into his eyes. Aqualad was a ghost along with Aquagirl, who was giggling because her boyfriend, in her opinion, was wearing a skirt, even though he insisted he wasn't. Mas Y Menos were the cutest, going as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, respectively.
Cyborg walked out. "Where's The Herald?" He asked. "Picking up a few more honoraries who wanted to show up." Bumblebee smoothed her blood red skirt. "Great, but still keep your eyes open tonight. Rumor has it a couple villains will show up. Don't move in unless they cause trouble though." Robin said.
A horn blast and Jericho walked out, as a clown. The white make up didn't hide his blush. Kole walked out beside him, also as a clown. "You two are so cute." Starfire sighed. Jericho blushed even worse and signed, 'Kole made me.' "Oh, shush, you are cute." Kole said, kissing his cheek. "Where's G'narrk?" Cyborg asked. "He doesn't like the human world and declined to come." Kole looked slightly let down because of that. Jericho patted her head.
Raven cleared her throat. "Let's go in already." She said. Everyone headed in.
Robin bumped into someone who was already inside. "Whoops, sorry." "No problem, mate." Robin recognized that voice. Sure, his hair was black, other than a white streak, but the red eyes gave him away. "Is that you, Punk Rocket?" He hissed quietly. Punk blanched. "Shit. Hi, Robby... not here to make trouble, just to party a bit... maybe have a couple biscuits."
The boy wonder regarded him sternly. "Who are you even supposed to be?" He finally asked. Punk grinned. "Why, can't you tell?" He pulled out a old fashioned razor. "I'm Sweeney Todd." Robin shook his head. "Uh... okay then. Look, stay out of trouble." "In case you didn't notice, I'm not exactly lugging a guitar around. And I have a date." Punk kept on his way.
Kole was sampling a frosted cookie as the party began starting, music playing. "Ooh, cookies." A girl in a Cheshire cat outfit walked up and picked up a green frosted cookie. "Nice costume." She said to Kole. Kole felt slightly out of place, mostly because all other outfits were more... sexy than silly on the girls. And this girl was no exception with her purple/lavender striped shorts and top, fingerless gloves and boots. A pair of purple ears were on her head and a tail was tied around her waist. "Feeling a bit over dressed honestly." Kole admitted.
The girl's green eyes softened. "Oh, you are such a sweetie, you look fine. Plus, you got your boyfriend to dress the same way. Couldn't convince my boyfriend to dress up like I wanted him to." The girl left, making a bee line for Speedy. Kole went back to her cookie.
Sarah smoothed her skirts and glanced over at the kids she was watching that night. Sarah was always a helper, and with her long skirts and handkerchief in her hair, she seemed to fit into the part. "Hey love, have you seen someone dressed like Sweeney Todd tonight?" It was Argent. Sarah took a glance of the crowd. "I think I saw him talking with Robin tonight. Wait... are you Mrs. Lovett?" Argent giggled and nodded. "But... didn't they not have a happy ending?" Sarah asked, confused. "Well I sure as hell wasn't playing Lucy. See you later."
Argent took off for the costumed young man. Sarah sighed. "Need a knight in shining armor?" Sarah rolled her eyes and turned to Cyborg. "I could use a hand... nice costume." Cyborg tilted up the visor again, leaned down, and kissed Sarah's forehead. The kids started giggling and whispering.
"Sister!" Both Blackfire and Starfire stared at each other. Blackfire was a rather dark looking fairy, with a black short dress and sparkles, the wings slightly tattered at the ends. "Please, let us not fight." Starfire quickly said, not wanting to ruin the party. "Not in the mood, Starfire. Maybe after the whole party thing is over, but I'm on a date." Blackfire snorted.
Starfire raised her eyebrows. "Who would your companion be?" She asked innocently. Blackfire was about to respond when she brightened. "Well, there he is. Fight you later." Blackfire literally floated over to a gray skinned pirate and wrapped her arms around his neck. Starfire just flew off, deciding her sister had the most 'interesting' taste in men.
Angel and Kyd Wykkyd arrived, Angel as well, an angel, and Kyd as a demon. "Nice, you two." Cheshire commented, fiddling with her cat ears. "Hey, the irony is cute, face it." Angel said, playing with her dress.
Kid Flash zipped in, Jinx with him. Kid Flash has stubbornly stayed in uniform, saying it was costume enough. Jinx just dealt with it and dressed like an elegant magician. "Hey guys, just get here?" Robin asked. "Yeah... think I just saw Billy Numerous and Kitten as Mario and Princess Peach though." Jinx said, wincing. "Not the only villains tonight. Do you know who Speedy's dancing with?" Robin asked. Jinx took a glance. "The Cheshire girl? No... hmm, she's cute though." She said, scratching her head.
Kid Flash looked at his girlfriend mischievously. "So you can check out chicks and I can't?" He asked. "Ha ha." Jinx laughed sarcastically. "Meh, whatever. Let's dance!" "Kid!" Kid whipped Jinx around and began slow dancing along with the other couples. "You're an idiot." Jinx said, rolling her eyes. "I love you too Jinxy." Kid replied.
The microphone person announced the couple's dance. Every couple drifted to the floor. Some wore matching costumes, some didn't. But it was quite the assortment, seeing people as movie characters and costumed up in cliché outfits. Starfire and Robin danced past a pair dressed as Katniss and Peeta, which was slightly amusing, considering the girl had nearly white blonde hair and the boy had thick black hair.
It was one successful party.
Of course, when the night finished, Robin had a long talk with Argent about her choice in men... which she pretty much ignored.
(holy crap, that was a long drabble...)
Angel/Raven, by request from DoubleCresentMoon, 'Safe and Sound' (Warning, it's sad.)
The battle hadn't ended as planned.
Angel clung desperately to Raven. "So... is it gone?" She murmured. "It's gone, I promise. We won."
But at what cost? Even from here, Raven could tell that Starfire was losing a lot of blood. Beast Boy was nowhere to be seen. Cyborg's mechanics had gone gray. Robin was attempting to help Starfire, even though his own body was seriously injured. Kid Flash had bled out on the side, eyes staring listlessly upwards.
But the HIVE suffered worse. Kyd Wykkyd was also MIA. See-More was crumpled by the body of Jinx, their hands clasped in a death grip. Billy's back was twisted in a way a body should never twist. Gizmo was hysterical along with Shimmer over the body of Mammoth. XL Terrestrial was decapitated, and Raven was making sure Angel couldn't see him. Private HIVE was wearily limping to Shimmer to comfort her, even though it was his best friend on the ground.
They didn't even have to help to defeat this demon. But they sacrificed themselves anyway.
Angel's helmet had been knocked off. She glanced up. "Raven... it's all over?" She asked again, a tear spilling down her cheek. Raven brought the angelic girl closer and kissed her cheek. "It's over. Close your eyes, Angel... you need rest." Angel smiled and let herself fall asleep in Raven's grasp.
Raven watched the sun go down.
Johnny Rancid/Blackfire 'Starships' (Prompt from my evil twin Sparky)
"I don't dance."
"Not at all?"
"No."
"Please?"
Johnny ignored his girlfriend's pleading glance. "Not. Happening." He said, sipping down his alcoholic beverage.
Blackfire pouted slightly, then a rather peppy song came on. "Ooh, I love this song! We're dancing!" "Komand'r!" With protest, Johnny was dragged onto the dance floor. "I hate this song." He grumbled. "It's Starships, it's really fun! Let loose, alright?" Blackfire winked.
And Johnny was reminded why he went out with her in the first place: her stubbornness and will to get what she want, through any way necessary.
(Hey, guys, send me more prompts and pairings, it's fun!
Bye byes, remember to review!)
