After rereading the first two chapters I noticed I had just kinda... had the girls involved with the whole mess go along with things without having them be more than tally marks and names, so I made sure that this chapter does a bit of a dive into a few of the girl's heads and stance on how things are at the moment. Not all of them and not to the same degree or in the same ways, there are a lot of them after all and this is still a fic that I pick up randomly and write an entire chapter in a day or two so its not exactly the most well thought out shit, but I wanted to at least pretend that this story is more than crack humor for a chapter even if it'll likely go back to being that next chapter or evolve into smut pretty soon. Still, Read, Enjoy, and REVIEW!

"I think we should have another orgy." Donna declared just shy of a week after their ragtag group had moved into the hastily constructed mansion-come-resort style complex that Zatanna, Raven, Karen, and to a minor extent Ivy had built and hidden just outside of the Arctic Circle, nearly causing Dick to nearly lose his grip on the uneven bars he was practicing on.

Abandoning his routine Dick dismounted and took a deep breath before he turned to face his friend and fellow Titan, preparing himself for a very taxing conversation. "Why?"

Donna gave a low sigh as she walked further into the room, "Ignoring the fact that you of all people haven't noticed," whether that was a compliment about his usual perceptiveness or an insult to his current mental state was left ambiguous, "we aren't exactly a group of likeminded people here. Even if you ignore how little we actually talk to each other and how we're more like five groups with one shared link instead of actually being a united front, none of us can even agree on ground rules for the house! How long do you think it's gonna be before someone starts throwing punches?"

Dick winced at the admittingly accurate overview of their quote unquote 'family'. The idea to live together was to offer more protection to each other during all the girls' pregnancies and to offer the kids with some semblance of normalcy and stability by having an actual family unit, but as good as those intentions were, having all of them under one roof clearly wasn't an easy thing to get used to. "How would another orgy even help with that?" He asked, "Other than maybe letting everyone vent their frustrations," he was pretty sure that most of the girls he had unintentionally brought together weren't exactly passive or particularly submissive when it came to sex, so unless they took turns topping there was definitely going to be some kind of irritation or indignation when everything ended.

"What is something that every group has in common?" Donna answered his question with one of her own, "something that all animals do to ensure that the group remains stable and together?"

"They have a leader, a dominating force that has power over the rest." He answered instantly, feeling a ball of dread settle in his stomach as he began to figure out what she was suggesting.

"No one is stepping up, most of us aren't naturally inclined to the role and you've already missed your chance to just assume the spot when we all moved in." Donna told him firmly, "The best way to establish a leader, alpha, whatever the fuck you want to call it, without egos getting bruised and people pushing back at every turn, is for someone to take the spot during a group activity. Something that will let them establish their domination over the others."

Dick rubbed at his eyes with one hand, "And you think the best time to do that is during an orgy?"

Donna shrugged, "Sex is a very emotional and in many ways vulnerable act. Its hard to ignore and is one of the few times people show who they really are and what they can do. There is a reason why Aphrodite sits on the Olympian counsel over the likes of Heracleus, Pan, or another of Lord Zeus's line."

That made Dick wince, "That's not exactly how I would describe a healthy relationship to subscribe to," he pointed out.

"If this was a normal relationship you'd be right, but this really isn't. Three of us are criminals, some of us are okay with killing in certain circumstances and others aren't. Our cultures are different, our personalities are different, our temperaments, mental states, interests, we have practically no common ground save for us all being fighters and you. So unless you want things to default to us beating the crap out of each other, you have to take charge."

"And by take charge you mean-"

"I mean bang us until we pass out yes."

"This doesn't sound very Amazonian of you, asking a guy to basically take a dominant position over you." He pointed out.

"A minor misunderstanding about what it means to be an Amazon. There were groups in the past who were just as if not more sexist than the worst men of the old eras, but those of us on Themyscira care more about defending the weak, serving the gods, upholding divine law, and allowing people to choose their own paths in life." The princess explained, "I've followed your lead for years Dick, I've accepted you as my commander as a part of the Titans. Now we are part of a new team and I choose to defer to you again because I know you are the best option. You do not need to dominate me because I willingly submit to you. That is my choice, please accept that and help me ensure my child, our child, and their siblings don't grow up in a home full of conflict."

By the time Donna had finished her impromptu speech Dick's mouth might as well have fallen all the way down to the gym mat he was standing on. That… that had almost sounded like a confession… "You know how that comes off right?"

"I'm not in love with you or asking you to actually take control of me." Donna assured him, "I have no problem having sex with you and I'm fine with you taking charge of things that need a leader of some kind, but I'm not offering you my heart or any of that crap. We live together, we can sleep together if you want to, and we're raising a kid together. We are roommates with benefits trying to do right by a baby, nothing more."

Just like that Dick felt his heartbeat slow ever so slightly and his gut untwist enough to almost be called comfortable again. The fact that Donna wasn't in love with him was actually immensely reassuring. He was still trying to work out his feelings and relationships with Barbara and Kori, adding another girl to the mess, one that he wasn't as entrenched with, would have made things all the worse. Bed buddies and co parents he could deal with, lovers… that was much more complicated. "I can live with that." He told her with a small, honest smile, "I think everyone is home right now, could you help me get them to meet in the main den? There are a few things we should talk about other than a possible second orgy."

"Shower and change, by the time you're ready I'll have everyone rounded up." She assured him, already making her way out of the room, leaving her friend to his dreading contemplations of what might come of the coming meeting.

The estate's main den was by necessity rather spacious, easily holding two large coffee tables, a four seater couch, a three seater, a loveseat, and two armchairs each with their own side tables, all facing toward a large sixty-four inch TV set with prominent speakers and a low cabinet full of gaming systems, games, and a few dvds. Books were kept in other, smaller, quieter rooms where they could be enjoyed without risk of being interrupted.

Now though every one of those seats was taken, every member of their group claiming a spot for themselves as they waited for Dick to start talking. Dick himself was just glad that he had been left one of the chairs, having a bit of physical distance between him and all the girls helped him center himself, not that he let his nerves show. He had been taught better than that, and had enough experience to know the importance of keeping a calm facade. "I know that none of this was planned," He began, "but that doesn't excuse the fact that we neglected something important." He quickly glanced around the room, taking in the vintages of the multitude of beautiful, dangerous women surrounding him. Most were clearly curious but were almost just as bored, there only to see what the meeting was about but not really caring about whatever it could be. "Since we are all roommates now we need to set a few ground rules, try to keep from chafing on each other's nerves too much. I know we probably should have done this when we moved in, but better a bit late than too late right?"

Thankfully Dick didn't have to wait long before the metaphorical baton was picked up and the conversation continued, preventing any potential awkward silences. "Are we following any modesty rules?" Kori asked, even raising her hand slightly as if she needed to in order to draw attention her way, "You always made sure Titans' Tower had one and I understand why, Earth's laws and culture dictated as such, but this place is different is it not?"

Before Dick could even open his mouth to answer Ivy was nodding and voicing her agreement with the alien princess's question, "I'd like to point out that I'm capable of limited photosynthesis, the kryptonians all but run on solar energy, the Amazons are very open with their physical form, and I'm guessing whatever Kori'ander's people are are in the same boat. That's half of us benefiting in some way from having free reign to wear as little as we want."

The lone man in the room frowned, what the villainess said wasn't wrong. Culturally speaking Tameranians wore what would amounted to lingerie on Earth when not holding court- in which case the women wore thin, loose, flowing, silk like dresses that in Dick's personal opinion looked downright stunning on the typically lean, statuesque forms of Tameranian people- or going into battle- where they wore either full body armor or rather risque but vital covering clothes made out of some kind of armor weave. Amazons from Themyscira were more modest, wearing mostly chitons except in battle where they wore armored short dresses with studded leather skirts, but they had many socially acceptable locations and events for being completely nude.

And that was just the cultural aspects of the situation. Both Karen and Kara relied on natural light, particularly sunlight, for their powers to function and if Bruce's research was any indication it also functioned as a decent substitute for vitamins Kryptonians required to remain healthy that aren't typically present in Earth foods. Throw in Ivy's unique biology and that was three of his housemates that required plenty of sunlight just to stay healthy. Four if he counted the fact that Kori's starbolts were powered from absorbed radiation, with her main source again being solar energy even if she didn't need it to remain healthy herself.

"This isn't the Tower, this is our home and nothing else, it doesn't function as a base of operations nor is there currently a legal reason to adhere to decency laws." Dick said slowly, keeping his eyes open for any sign of discontent with his words, "Until the babies are born I don't think there is really any reason why you shouldn't wear as much or as little as you want, you can even wear nothing if you really want to." Seeing Barbara, Raven, Zatanna, and Cheshire frown he held up a hand, "HOWEVER, when the babies ARE born we'll have to discuss this again." He shot an amused look over toward Harley, "Also, personal space is still going to be a thing. No groping or anything sexual without getting permission first." The bleach skinned woman hadn't exactly hidden the fact that she was a big fan of many of her housemates' big boobs and overall curvy bodies since they had moved in together, so he figured making that particular rule clear might be best. Just in case.

"While we are here," Zatanna cut in, "I want to make something clear. The dishwasher is state of the art and has enchantments on it, just like everything that has to do with cleaning in this house. So for fucks sake stop leaving your dishes in the sink!" The magician almost growled, "They don't need a freaking rinse and they don't need a soak or any of that!"

"Why do we even have a kitchen sink if its not for washing dishes?" Harley pouted, upset that she was being called out a second time already, even if her name has yet to be said.

"Rinsing knives when cutting multiple things for dinner, getting glasses of water, and cleaning things that can't be put in the dishwasher." Barbara listed off, which was strange since she also left her dishes in the sink. Though she was also a trained Bat, so rolling with the punches and adapting to things was one of her most important skills.

Of course Dick also left his dishes in the sink so he wasn't exactly going to call her out either way.

"Okay," Dick was actually good, it was mundane and inane but better they talk about this crap now instead of it grating on people's nerves until it caused a fight. "Anything else anyone wants to bring up?"

"If more than half the people in the house are sleeping don't blare the TV or the stereo." Jade drawled, "I don't know how you Gotham nuts function on three or four hours of sleep every day but some of us actually like getting a good six to eight hours. Especially when pregnant or with a baby in the house. Trust me on this." As the only one in the room who had gone through a pregnancy and taken part in raising a baby, the rest of the house's occupants were inclined to defer to her wisdom in that particular matter.

When it became clear that no one was going to mention any other gripes or ask any questions Dick cleared his throat and prepared to get to the original reason he and Donna had called for this little meeting. "Donna has… suggested," he began, "that in the spirit of… affirming our… relationship that we…"

"We should have another orgy, this time with all of us sober and actually able to see every one's faces." Donna broke in, clearly not wanting to wait for Dick to be more gentle about the suggestion.

Ivy was the first one to respond, "I've wanted to do that since the day we all woke up in bed together." She reminded them.

"I'm in!" Harley shouted joyfully, almost bouncing with excitement over the prospect.

Starfire gave a soft smile and a small nod, "I have no problems with us all enjoying each other's bodies again."

"We're already pregnant and have gone down on each other before, why not?" Zatanna joked lightly as her own form of consent to the idea.

Karen and Kara shared a look. As sorta kinda sisters the prospect of having sex with each other, or at the very least in the same room on the same bed, was a bit more daunting than what the other girls might be feeling. That and unlike the ones who have already voiced their agreements they weren't bi or pansexual. In the end, Karen shrugged when Dick raised an eyebrow in question of her agreement to the idea and Kara blushed and looked down into her lap before giving a small nod.

That just left Barbara, Jade, Raven as the ones who hadn't answered.

Raven was clearly uncomfortable with the idea, she had trained her whole life to repress her emotions and desires and as a result had developed a form of hetero-demisexuality. There were very few men that she felt sexually attracted to and she simply didn't feel those desires for women at all even if she was more than capable of recognizing when a member of her own sex was attractive… but she did like Dick, and she trusted both him and Kory. She probably wasn't going to make herself a particularly active participant in their rompfest but she wouldn't turn the invitation down flat out, "Okay." She nodded.

Jade, despite how easily and readily she used her body and looks to help herself in whatever ways she could manage, wasn't nearly as much of a sexual creature as one might expect. She had slept with two men in her life, and had married both of them… even if she did kill the first one after a year and divorce the second after five years of their six years of marriage were spent being all but separated due to their lifestyles and personal issues. Still, she was far from being an advocate of 'free love' and 'exploring your sexual desires' or whatever crap some people sprouted. Sex to her was a deeply emotional and committed thing and not something to engage in with just anyone. Though when you found the one you think is truly worth giving yourself to she also saw no problem with going at it as much as you wanted with that person. She didn't really feel for Dick the way she had with Roy. She didn't find herself falling into him and loosing herself in his presence like she had back when she hadn't known Roy was actually a hero and not an assassin. She liked, respected, and admired Dick sure, but she didn't love him. She had moved in with everyone for protection, support, and as a way to make things easier if she ends up deciding to bale on this child's life like she had with Lian… Still, she might as well give the soon to be father a chance, and this was as good a way as any to show her commitment she supposed. "Alright."

Barbara was the last one to respond. This was just so weird to her, even for something that had to do with Dick. She had dated him on and off for years at this point, had seen him at his best and at his worst, had made love with him, and had fucked him in the most animalistic and hedonistic ways imaginable in turn. She had loved him, hated him, fought with him and against him. She had even shared him a few times despite being as straight as most girls out there, she just… hadn't ever shared him like this. In the past, those times others had been brought in it had been purely physical and carnal, but this, this was more than that. It was about trust and emotions and bonding and other things that clashed horribly with what she had wanted from Dick for so long. She wanted him to be hers and she his. She wanted it to be the two of them together without his complicated relationship with Starfire or his past encounters getting in the way, she wanted to be able to put aside her own issues and embrace the fact that she loved Dick and only Dick… But that was probably never going to be an option now, not with so many ties and new complications wrapped around his heart. It would never be just them and as much as that hurt she had to learn to accept that if she wanted to still have him in her life. "We all have an eight hour block free in a few days, we can do it then?" She suggested as her way of agreeing to the idea, ignoring the small stab of jealousy and sorrow she felt in her heart. Who knows? Maybe she'll actually learn to find contentment in these new circumstances? Anything was possible after all.

Barbara's agreement almost made Dick heave a sigh of pure relief. Things could have, would have, gotten pretty… tense, if anyone had refused the idea. It was very much a high-risk high reward type thing every step of the way and he could only hope that he was up to the challenge of getting the big payoff.

((Forgot about this and it might not even be canon at the moment, but at one point Cheshire was married to and had a kid with Catman. For the purposes of this story, that marriage never happened and the kid does not exist. She only had Lian and she's dead now and has been for… let's say three years.))
