Hello everybody! It has been a long week for me and my motivation to write has been in the toilet since I started reading some webcomics by David Willis. Anyways, I'm exhausted, and yet here I am, writing another chapter for you guys. Thank you guys for giving me this motivation!
I STILL OWN NOTHING.
'What happened?' Danny thought to himself as he began to wake up.
As he came to his senses he noticed that he was in the infirmary, and that Raven was in a chair next to his bed, asleep.
'Cute.' Danny thought, not fully awake.
"Did I really just think that?" Danny said aloud, as he realized what he had just thought.
"Think what?" Raven asked, now awake.
"N-nothing!" Danny stammered unconvincingly.
'He's cute when he's flustered!' Piped up a voice in Raven's head.
'You're right Happy, we should ask him out!' Said Brave.
'What if he rejects us?' asked Timid.
'We could always beat the crap out of him if he did!' Suggested Rage.
For a moment Raven sat awed by the conversations her emoticlones were currently having.
"Earth to Raven. You there?" Danny asked, finally snapping her out of her shock.
"Y-yeah." She said before regaining her composure.
"Do you know where everybody else is?" Danny asked, as he got off the bed and transformed into his ghost form.
"I think they're in the training room, it's Friday, so they're probably sparring against one another." She said.
"Shall we join them?" He asked.
"You sure you want to? You did get shot." Raven pointed out.
"I feel pretty good right now, plus I've kind of wanted to help you guys get stronger since I wiped the floor with all of you." Danny responded.
-LINEBREAK-
Danny entered the training room to find Robin fighting Starfire, while Beast Boy and Cyborg sat off to the side spectating.
"What's your opinion on the match?" Asked Raven.
"They're fighting pretty well, much better than when I went up against either of them, which makes me think that the problem with you guys' fighting is your adaptability." Danny said as he scrutinized the pair's movements.
"I've always felt that we can adapt pretty easily to new situations." Raven said.
"I'm sure you do as a group," Danny responded "but individually, you have a hard time recovering from and adjusting to new situations."
"You're right, the only reason they're fighting so well is because they are used to fighting each other." Raven responded, as she thought of their first encounters with several villains.
"We'll see how they can do against me." Danny said, a smirk forming on his face.
-LINEBREAK-
After about two minutes Robin managed to defeat Starfire by throwing multiple freezing discs at her.
"Not a bad fight." Danny commented as Robin helped free Starfire from the ice.
"Thanks." Robin said, clearly happy about his victory.
"You up for a match against me?" Danny asked.
"Sure thing." Robin said, as he finished breaking the last of the ice that impeded Starfire's movement.
"You just finished I fight, so I'll take it easy on you." Danny said as he reverted to human form and picked up his staff.
"Giving up the extra strength provided by your ghost form? That's a pretty big handicap. Hope you don't end up regretting it." Said Robin, as he pulled out his own staff.
Danny responded first by jabbing the end of his staff towards Robin's midsection, only to have Robin block his strike and respond with a birdarang, which Danny dodged.
Deciding to get serious, Robin began to thrown freezing disks at Danny's feet in an attempt to immobilize him. Dodging the freezing disks, Danny used his staff to pole-vault towards Robin and deliver a well-aimed kick to his solar plexus, effectively knocking Robin back a few feet as he struggled to recover from the blow.
'That might just be one of the coolest attacks I've ever done' Thought Danny as he ran forward, and swung his staff at Robin's side.
Robin barely managed to block the strike with his arm before jumping backwards in an attempt to create distance between himself and Danny.
'Dammit!' Robin thought 'If he had swung any harder my arm might've broken! I've seriously underestimated his strength while he's human.'
Danny smirked and began running towards Robin once again.
"I surrender!" Robin yelled, desperate to avoid more physical punishment from his tormentor/sparring partner.
'That was quick.' Thought Danny as he turned to see the awed faces of the rest of the Titans.
"Dude! How did you beat Robin in physical combat without your ghost form?" Cyborg asked.
"A lot of ghosts like to fight with their fists, as well as weapons, so I have a good amount of experience with it." Danny responded as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I think that's enough training for today." Beastboy said, as he tried to avoid a sparring match with Danny.
"I agree." Said Starfire, who was still trying to warm up after her fight with Robin.
"Everyone go an relax." Robin suggested, "Except for you Danny, we've got things to discuss."
"What did you want to talk about?" Asked Danny, eager to go get some food after having been passed out since the day before.
"I'm not sure how much we can do with proving your innocence. I hate to say it, but the government is unlikely to listen to five teenage superheroes about the innocence of an assumed villain." Robin said.
"I'm sure we'll figure something out." Danny said, as he began to make his way towards the kitchen."
-LINEBREAK-
Raven entered her room before mentally screaming at her emoticlones.
'What the hell was that earlier?' She screamed.
'You mean about Danny being cute?' Happy asked, smiling.
'Yes that!' Raven mentally yelled.
'What of it?' Brave questioned, with a bored look on her face.
'Why the hell are all of you thinking he's cute?' Raven asked as she attempted to reign in her anger before something exploded.
'If we're all thinking it, it stands to reason that it is because you are thinking it.' Spoke Wisdom.
'I-I like him?' Raven asked, dumbfounded.
'It would seem so.' Responded Wisdom.
'What do I do?' Raven asked, her cheeks reddening slightly.
'My first suggestion would be meditate to get your feelings under control, then tell him.' Said Wisdom.
-LINEBREAK-
'I have one ide to help Danny prove his innocence, but I've got to check if he would be willing to help.' Robin thought as he walked down the corridor to his room.
When he entered his room he walked over to the phone he kept there for private calls before picking it up and dialing in a number.
Robin waited silently as the phone rang.
"…Hello, this is Bruce Wayne speaking."
And there it is! I thank you all for reading! Tell me what you think of this chapter, especially the ending! TELL ME! TELL ME IN REVIEWS! Please.
