Eleven

"It's not that I don't want a man in my life... I just don't think there's a man out there that can handle me!" Bumblebee slurred a bit as she sipped her 5th glass of vodka and sprite. In response, Argent snickered and tapped her own solo cup filled with straight bourbon to the other girl's.

"I hear that! Although this one here seems to be doing a fair job of changin' my mind" she said with a small smile towards Hot Spot, whose warm arms were draped across her bare back and causing her skin to glow metallic red at his touch.

"I don't know what the hell type of chemical shit's goin' on with you guys, but it looks pretty damn cool so keep it up" Herald nodded, raising his shot glass filled with whiskey towards them with a nod before downing it.

"It does look pretty neat. What's up with you guys exactly? I don't think we ever got your power backstories" Bumblebee asked with a surprising brashness. Argent shrugged her now vibrant shoulders.

"I thought for the longest time that I was the daughter of a Senator in New Jersey, and on my sixteenth birthday my skin changed to gray and during my pool part later on, me and a couple of my friends were teleported away. We learned that we were actually half-alien, and that our mothers were impregnated with us for the sole purpose of defeating other super-powered beings on Earth... We were all re-stationed in New Zealand for a few years, which is where I picked up my accent."

She stopped at that, and the other Titans were impressed and also a little confused by how much and how little she had revealed about herself at the same time.

"What happened to your other friends?" Bumblebee probed further, but Argent had already turned to Hot Spot.

"It's your turn now, ain't it? Speak up, hottie, I wanna know all about you!" she said, snuggling closer to him in encouragement.

Hot Spot, however, was staring at Argent as if a whole new world had been opened up, his entirely white eyes widening and his red skin glowing brighter than normal.

"A-Argent?" he said her name with wonder, rolling the name on his tongue and suddenly beginning to laugh.

"What's up, Hot Spot?" Herald asked warily.

"Argent, um, I really don't know how to put this... But I think you and I know each other better than you think." Hot Spot began. Argent, still a little hyped up on alcohol, turned her head to the side to stare at him briefly.

"Never seen your face before until the battle at the Brotherhood's base, luv. In fact, I've only ever seen your face as a big blob of fire, which isn't bad by the way." She suddenly stopped as Hot Spot stood up and powered down, revealing his normally dark skin and short black hair and dark brownish amber eyes.

Argent's heart stopped in her chest, and her breathing became heavy. Bumblebee shot a look over to Herald, before turning to the other girl in concern. "Argent? Are you ok?" she asked carefully.

"Isaiah."

"Toni."

She had stood up and was staring at him, eyes a bit squinty. "What... How are you... Why didn't you come find me?" she asked, her voice cracking but remaining steady otherwise.

"I only just remembered everything now. Your story, it woke something up in me... I started to see pictures of my past... Our past, as a team. After the battle with Haze, I just woke up again, somehow. I was wearing this new costume, and my powers had changed, increased. I remembered nothing except for my desire to protect and serve as a hero... Not even you. I'm sorry..."

He was cut off by her arms around his neck, and her lips crashing onto his. He returned the kiss passionately, and she broke apart from him.

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just glad you're alive. After your death, the rest of us tried to stay together for a time before we disbanded recently for a sort of break. We can form up a team again, I can call Risk and Prysm and Fringe..."

"How are they? Tell me everything!" Hot Spot replied, his eyes lighting up as thousands of memories fell back into place.

"Wait a second, hold the phone, whatever you want!" Bumblebee suddenly interjected. The two Titans had forgotten there were other people in the room, and turned to look at the girl in the yellow turtleneck and black pants a sheepish look. "You two know each other?" she asked, confused.

"Yeah, he was one of the others who was pulled into space on our sixteenth birthdays... We were born on June 21, all of us who were a part of this project. When we reached sixteen we had 'come of age' and were instructed on how to control our newly awakened gifts..." Hot Spot answered, surprised at how easily it was all coming back to him.

"We formed a team with another third member, Risk, whose powers are adrenaline based. During a hard battle with a villain named Haze, we thought that Hot Spot, or Joto as he was known back then, was killed... He had a different outfit and his powers weren't physically manifesting all over his skin like they do now. I never once thought that it could be the same person..." Argent explained, mystified.

"Let's give them some privacy, to catch up and all that. I'm sure they have a ton of questions for one another" Herald said, standing up and placing a hand on Bumblebee's rising shoulder as she attempted to stand and interrogate them with more questions.

Argent and Hot Spot beamed at Herald, who gave them a nod before they rushed off towards the door in order to be alone.

Meanwhile, in Robin's room (where Robin had decided that they spend the night, as it would be the last place anyone would dare to intrude upon lest they want their faces bashed in), the power couple of the Teen Titans were already cuddling together under his sheets.

"Robin, I have a question for you" Starfire suddenly asked. He was absently petting her hair, every once in awhile getting his fingers stuck in the long smooth red tresses.

"Anything, Star" he replied, looking down at her with a smile.

"Do you love me?" she asked softly, her stomach doing flip flops as the words left her tongue.

Robin's own blood chilled in his veins as he heard the question; he hadn't expected to be confronted with it so soon and in such a serious way. Of course he loved her; he could feel it with every fibre of his soul, he had never felt as drawn to or protective of a person his whole life, not to the extent she held over him.

"Star, of course I love you" he suddenly found himself saying; perhaps it was the alcohol fueling him along as he responded, yet their previous discussion of children might have also had him thinking a little deeper subconsciously about this sort of thing.

"You do?" she replied, her green eyes widening and shining vibrantly with the love she too felt for the Boy Wonder.

In response, he pulled off his mask to reveal his blue eyes full of sincerity before he kissed her.

Across the hall in Raven's room, however, the two more unstable of the Titans when it came to emotional responses were engaged in a battle for dominance as their lips crashed down over all sorts of exposed skin; Raven's powers had lashed out at Beast Boy's clothes and ripped most of them off leaving a few tattered pieces of fabric here and there, while Beast Boy opted for a more sensual teasing of the empath by feeling every emotion of passion coursing through him and magnifying it in his heart as hard as he could, causing her to gasp as her own senses were tested in this way.

That, coupled with his fingers dancing lightly all over her and pulling at her clothing bit by bit was enough for her whimper and moan in anticipation of more to come.

"Gar, oh Azar... I never knew that to feel would be like this..." she whispered honestly, her hand entwined into his dark green hair while the other clutched at his own, fingers locking together. He smiled, dipping his head down into the junction between her collarbone and neck which he had already been assaulting previously and was now extra sensitive.

"I'm happy you're letting me in, Raven... And now that you have, you know there's no going back" he murmured with a strange air of possessiveness that normally was out of place for him, but with a flick of his tongue over her skin that caused her to shiver, pleased.


Here we go, some more fluff towards the end of this one, and then some actual sort of plot at the beginning there! I'd taken some liberty with Argent and Hot Spot's backstory in order to make it fit with this cartoon Teen Titans verse, as we don't get to know anything about them really in the series. The comics provide ample stuff for me to pull from, so I tried weaving them together and that's what resulted of it.

Hope you enjoyed, once I'm done pairing everyone off I'll stop teasing you with snippets of BBRae and RobStar and actually focus on them for fuller time periods xD

Leave me a nice comment/review and I'll love you forever! :) Until next time!
