Wow. It's been 5 DAYS since I updated. I'm sorry. Blame House Of Hades which I STILL HAVE NOT FINISHED! (Thanks Danny/ Liz)

I would have updated yesterday, but 3 of my friends decided to hate me forever. So yes, I had to deal with drama. Sorry guys. :( So to make up for it, edited this chapter to be WAY longer than the ruff draft! It's 7 PAGES on word! The original was 1 and a half. Your welcome.

WELL, HERE IS YOUR WAFFLE [::] AND HERE IS CHAPTER 10!

Chapter 10, Liz

Danny is so cute when he sleeps. When he's sleeping, it's like all the worries and hard stuff fades away. He looks... peaceful. I wish I could make him feel like that all the time. If there was, I would do it in a heart beat.

I glanced up to see what the TV was playing. For whatever reason, it was the Power Rangers... I laughed mentally as I realized that this was one of Kelly's favorite episodes. I hadn't seen the show since I was still legally her older sister.

"Hey." Robin said, jumping over the side of the couch and landing next to me.

"Hi."

I hoped he didn't want to start a conversation. Because that would be the very definition of awkward.

"I never got to thank you."

I stared at the guy. He wanted tot thank me? What!?

"Care to elaborate?"

"You saved me, you beat the crap out of Slade, you saved your boyfriend-"

"My what!?"

Robin laughed. "Danny. He's your boyfriend isn't he?"

"I... uh..." I glanced down at him to make sure he was still sleeping. "I mean it's not official or anything, I mean we've never talked about- he's awesome but- like, he's cute and strong and my best friend and has really sexy eyes and I love him, I mean I don't love love him! Well, I kinda, I- why am I explaining this exactly?"

Shut up. Yeah, I'm looking at you reader! Don't judge me!

Robin laughed again. "He has sexy eyes. OK then."

"What did you want exactly?"

He shrugged. "Just to talk. You've been staying with us for about a week now and we honestly don't very much about you."

"There's not much that you need to know."

"Well, I have questions. Do you have answers?"

"Depends on the question."

Robin eyed me suspiciously. Well, I assumed he was suspicious. It's hard to tell with his stupid mask.

"Tell me again, why are you guys on the streets?"

"I never told you to begin with."

His look was un nerving me. I knew this was coming. I really had. But I was in no way prepared for it. I couldn't tell this guy much of anything, because if I did, it would built slight trust. Trust could lead to friendship. And that would just end in another piece of my heart dying when Danny and I left the Titans. Forever.

"Well you told Cyborg!" Robin pressed. "Why won't you tell me?"

"Why can't you just ask Cyborg to tell you?"

"Because, I want to make sure the stories match."

I could NOT believe this! Robin was accusing me of lying! Well, I was lying, but I had a good reason to lie! It was a life or death thing. The titans would never understand that. No one would.

"Robin, the place burned down, Danny and I ran away, no one looked for us, so we didn't look for anyone. We're better off on our own."

"So, did the fire give you those scars?" Robin gestured to my side. I realized I was still wearing one of Starfire's outfits.

"No."

"Than what was it?"

"None of your business."

"Seriously?" Robin stood up and leaned over me in an intimidating way. I could feel his breath going down my neck. Didn't this guy know what tic- tacs are? "You've been living with us, sleeping under our roof, eating our food, and you don't think that you even owe us the answers to a few questions?"

"Robin, you left out fighting your enemies, fighting your fights, and-" I gestured to Danny's sleeping figure. "Almost getting us killed. I'd say, we're as even as possible. So no. I owe you nothing."

He pondered this. "To- shay."

I'd thought the matter was dropped, but the guy just kept talking. Seriously, didn't he get when a conversation was over?

"You're an amazing fighter."

"Thanks."

"No seriously! You knocked out Slade. That's a major accomplishment! How'd you do it?"

Danny turned a little in his sleep. He was going to wake up soon. If I was him, I wouldn't want to wake up to a living traffic light.

"Oh ya know, uppercut to the jaw, roundhouse kick under water. Head shots really."

Robin nodded, completely engrossed in what I was saying. "And the water didn't seem to slow you down at all! And that one punch before I blacked out, it was like sparks were flying off your hands!"

Danny half opened his eyes and groaned a little. "Could you talk any louder?" He hissed in annoyance. "SURE!" I yelled.

"THIS BETTER!?" Robin supplied.

Danny socked the guy with a pillow. "Seriously, I'm trying to sleep here."

"And we're trying to talk here." I smiled as I teased my best friend.

After a stare off (I TOTALLY WON!) Danny just rolled over and put a pillow over his head. Not a minute later, he was snoring softly.

"So, why the mask?" I asked bird brain.

"You have your secrets, I have mine."

That was the end of discussion.

"Do you think you could teach me to fight like you do?" Robin suddenly blurted out.

"Huh!?"

"You could actually knock Slade out." He explained. "So... can you?"

"Robin!" I laughed. "I don't think I could even defeat you if we spared. I just got lucky!"

Robin got a scary look on his face. "So you admit I'm stronger?"

We didn't just go there. Now, instead of sparing him the embarrassment of getting beat by a girl, I was gonna open a can of butt kick and spill it all over the guy!

"No. But I guess we'll just have to find out, won't we?"

Danny sat up, grinning madly. "You two are going to fight? This I gotta see!"

"Weren't you sleeping?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Couldn't. Not with you and bird brain here yapping so loud."

Robin looked at him. We'd only called him 'bird brain' when we were Phantom and Star. Not Liz and Danny. Please don't be smart, please don't be smart, PLEASE DO NOT BE SMART! I pleaded silently.

Finally, Robin shrugged. "So gym in 2 minutes?"

"Going to get your fans?" I smirked.

Danny laughed. "Make sure they don't place any money on this!"

Robin rolled his eyes (how is it possibly to tell when his eyes rolled, yet not be able to see them?! Science, come on man!) and stalked out.

As soon as we turned the corner, I smacked Danny's upper arm (His very... firm... muscled upper arm... 0.0). "Ouch!" He yelped, more from surprise than anything else. "What was that for?"

"For calling Robin 'bird brain'."

Danny looked at me like I'd grown a second head. "You're defending him now? What dimension did I get thrown into while I was sleeping?"

I rolled my eyes. Boys can be so slow. "Dude! Phantom and Star called him that! We look very similar, and he's a smart guy! Keep doing stuff like that, and he will figure out who we are."

Danny looked down. "Sorry. I didn't think of that."

My heart reached out to him. Here I was yelling at him for teasing someone when he was clearly not feeling well, stuck in a place neither of us wanted to be in, and he clearly needed more sleep. All for a joke? What kind of friend was I? I leaned over and wrapped my arms around him. He's my brother, my family, my best friend. I should be helping him, not being his mom!

"It's fine. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that."

Behind his bangs, I could see a slight smile spread over his lips. "Don't go on. You're turning this into a sappy romantic soap opera."

I could feel heat rush to my cheeks. "Romantic!?"

He turned a bright shade of red as well. "I uh- I didn't mean- I was just saying-"

Before he could finish, all the titans walked in.

"Whoa guys." Beast Boy laughed. I didn't understand what was so funny until I looked down and saw how close Danny and I were. My left hand was on his right shoulder, his left hand was on my right hip, our legs were slightly tangled together, and our noses were almost touching. To me, being this close to Danny wasn't a big deal, but for some reason, we both turned tomato red and moved away really fast. It was Robins fault, asking me if Danny and I were dating...

"Didn't you say you two weren't a couple?" Robin snickered.

"We weren't-" I began at the same Danny said, "She was just-". We both shut up.

"Aren't you supposed to be losing a fight with Robin?" Cyborg asked.

"Losing? No. Kicking butt? You bet!"

I stood and pulled Danny to his feet. My arm tingled at where his hand wrapped around my wrist. For the first time ever, butterflies floated in my stomach. My heart hammered against my ribs. It couldn't be possible... No. I couldn't possibly have a crush on Danny! We've known each other too long. I mean sure, He's cute, and strong and protective and has the sexiest eyes...

NO! Liz, no. You can't!

Could I? No. Who cares about sexy eyes? Danny is Danny! The guy who had just about the biggest crush on a goth girl who stabbed him in the back. He doesn't like me in that way, and I don't like him in that way either. Right?

As hard as I tried, there was no way to avoid Danny on the way to the training room/ gym. He looked really pale and almost tripped into the wall from dizziness. I caught his arm and yanked him back a second before he would have had a fake out make out with the wall.

"Thanks." He muttered, not meeting my gaze. I put a hand on his chest.

"What are friends for?" I laughed. The only reason I realized that I was holding his hand was because the butterflies suddenly got jackhammers and thought my internal organs were supposed to be demolished. My hand felt charged with electricity. Oh God. Oh NO! I will NOT let this happen! Could you even control something like love without the aid of Embers stupid gatar? Elizabeth Master, don't do this! DON'T FALL IN LOVE!

When Robin said 'gym' I'd pictured a small classroom with a few weights, a warm up mat, and a wimpy first aid kit on the wall. I did not expect a room the size of half a football field, with more weights than I thought existed in the United States, special exercise equipment specialized for each titans, every exercise machine known to man, and a rock climbing wall. Judging by the way Danny's jaw hit the floor, he was just as surprised as I was. When we were training, we'd had a very run down obstacle course, and a few old weights of his dads'. Still, I figured Danny and I were still stronger than the titans, and not just because of our ghost advantage. They had 5, we had 2. They could be sloppy, we could not. These titans would ever know what it was like to have to hold their training weight when it mattered, not when you could say that you couldn't handle it; but when you had to push yourself to keep it up. No, they would never be heroes in my mind.

"So..." Raven deadpanned. "You guys are gonna fight. This will be interesting."

Starfire showed me where the sparing mat was. This was going to be fun!

"Fair fight, K guys?" Cyborg asked. Robin and I nodded and shook hands. "FIGHT!"

The words had barley reached my ears when Robin lunged. I sidestepped easily enough, but he'd gotten close. He spun around and aimed a fist for my face. All it came in contact with was my palm. I twisted that arm behind him before using the advantage to push him away. He stumbled, but didn't fall. whipped towards me, and crouched, using his leg tosweep me off my it hadn't happened to a billion times, I probably would've snapped my neck.

But it HAD happened to me a billion times! It was easy to turn a fall into a back handspring and land on my feet, I shocked looking Robin gaping at me.

"Wha- how did you do that!?"

I didn't answer, I attacked. I kicked straight up, the toe of my boot coming in contact with Robins cheek. His neck cracked as it snapped back.

"Told you! Head shots." I gloated.

We spared for a while. The only reason I didn't win faster was because I was so out of practice. And Robin was a fast little guy! I was sure I knew the perfect movie to end this with, when my opponent ran up the wall and flipped over me. I had not seen that coming, to be honest.

"Head shot?" Robin teased as he tried a roundhouse kick to the face. I jumped back, and he hit my stomach. I did a complete side arial thing before smacking into the mat.

I took a second to blink the stars out of my eyes. I looked at the audience. The Titans looked worried that I hadn't gotten up yet, but Danny looked calm enough. He knew I wasn't down for the count. But the Titans didn't... :)

"OW!" I yelled, trying to sound in pain. It wasn't to hard, the Bird Brains stupid steel toed boots hurt just fine. Robin ran over to me.

"Liz? Liz I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you that hard!"

He offered a hand to help me up. Perfect! I gripped his wrist tightly. Then did something hilariously funny, and totally accidental. Normally when I did this move, I kicked people in the chest hard enough so I could flip them. But I hadn't done this since I was 14. My legs are much longer now and I didn't exactly remember that. Or didn't until I kicked Robin way to low for what I was planning, and flipped him.

Maybe it was a good thing he had the wind knocked out of him, for those of you who understood, his voice was probably way higher than usual.

Oops...

"O-HO MAN!" Cyborg tried not to laugh.

Beast boy wince. "That must've hurt!"

Starfire looked confused. "Please," she began. "What is the trouble with this?"

Raven rolled her eyes. "No boy ever wants to get hit down there Starfire. Trust me."

Danny had collapsed on the floor. He was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down his cheeks and he could barley breath.

I hide a smile and walked triumphantly over to Robin, who had a very pained look on his face.

"Need a hand?" I offered. He took and stood up. "Sorry man." I laughed. "I swear, I did not aim for that area!"

He glared at me. "Whatever." Everyone but Starfire and Robin burst into laughter. His voice frequency almost matched Starfires! He groaned. "Anyone up for dinner?" He asked after clearing his throat and dropping his voice a few octaves.

"No meat!" BB and I shouted together. I swear, his pupils turned to hearts. I turned to Cyborg.

"You eve made a homemade salad?"

Cyborg shook his head. "Sounds like an awesome challenge though!"

I nodded. "Good! Because we're about to figure it out, together!"

So, question: What should Danny's theme song be, what should Liz's be and what should the whole books theme song be?
