(11. Day 3. Rob, Star, and Rae)
Or, "Two birds with one Star"
(Robin)
The leader of the Titans had found another job surprisingly quickly. He was now a janitor at the local museum, and though most would consider it an embarrassment, he actually enjoyed it quite a bit. He was, being a detective, a very detailed guy. The manager said that he had never seen the place so clean. Robin had discovered that he actually liked his new job. He knew he probably could have found a higher paying one, but he just felt right at home putting his detective skills to a simple yet helpful task. Besides, if someone ever came to rob the museum, a slippery floor would be a convenient thing to have.
(Starfire)
Starfire was surprised at how fast her job environment had changed. Over night the place had gone from slow business to having long lines of people waiting for food. And not just any food. Her food.
And her boss's attitude had improved greatly. "Always knew you would succeed. Never doubted you once." Of course, she could tell that he was just flattering her. She hummed to her self as she manned the grill, bringing an atmosphere of joy to the place, which had been greatly needed.
(Raven)
While Raven had enjoyed seeing her 'kids' the day before, she was quickly reminded of how much she hated being a flight attendant. Once again it was messy eaters and loud kids. Just when she thought she couldn't take it any longer, she got a call that she was needed in the first class section. When she got there she found a young man about her age who had an arrogant look on his face, as if he was used to looking down on people.
"Hey there, sweet cheeks" he said with a wink. Raven rolled her eyes in disgust. 'Great! A snobby rich kid. What else can go wrong today...' She said as politely as her rapidly shortening fuse would allow "Did you want to order something, sir?" He just smirked at her. "Hey don't be like that. Why don't you just sit down and relax for a bit? How many chances do you have to sit down with a good looking specimen like myself? Raven thought to herself 'If you count Robin? Quite often. Everyday, in fact.' Out loud she said "Well if you aren't going to order anything, then I'll just be going." His expression soured at this. "That wasn't a suggestion." He snapped his fingers and two large bodyguards appeared beside him.
Just before the Titan's nuclear-level temper could explode, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. After opening them she went right to work. She took one guard out with a vicious right hook, then dispatched the other one with an uppercut. Ever since she had her powers temporarily removed in a fight a week ago, Robin had been drilling them all in hand to hand combat just in case something like that happened again. And she could tell that the guards were just for show and intimidation. Robin had given out pointers on reading body language.
She turned to the rich kid. "I don't think you understand, but when a woman says 'no' she means 'no'. And no amount of begging, or threatening," here she gave him an icy glare, "will change her mind."
The young man and his bodyguards looked taken aback at this, clearly not used to being challenged. The brat exploded. "Do you know who you're dealing with? I'm Thomas Swanson. My dad owns Jump City's largest insurance company!" "You mean 'used to own it', right?" Thomas looked confused and a little scared. "What do you mean?" "He was arrested for misuse of funds, giving financial aid to super villains so he could increase the need for insurance, and several other things" Raven responded. The expression on the three faces in front of her where priceless, Thomas' in particular. "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" he screamed. Raven just tossed him the newspaper that was on the chair next to him. "See for yourself."
The disguised Titan walked away, enjoying the shouts of outrage coming from behind her.
Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait, but I've had writer's block for a while now. I'll do my best to update more frequently.
I recently started One Piece, so the rich kid was inspired by Hippo-what's-his-face from the rescuing Zoro arc at the beginning of the series.
Anyways, please review and let me know what you think! See you next time, same Elite Warrior time, same Elite Warrior channel! :D
