Chapter 6: Wayne's Ball
As the titans came up to the mansion they got out the T-car and unloaded all of their belongings. Raiden was asleep on the backseat of the car. Not trying to wake her up Raven teleported the little girl into her arms and held her tight, making sure not to drop her.
"How is she?" Robin asked.
"She's fine. You're acting like she's been hurt or something." Raven replied as she walked behind the others carrying Raiden. As the titans got to the door, Robin rang the door bell. They waited a couple of seconds and heard the door knob being turned. When the door opened they saw the famous butler, Alfred, standing in front of them.
"Hello children!" He said excitingly.
"Hello Alfred!" All of the titans said as each of them gave him a hug and entered the house.
Alfred then looked at the little one that Raven carried in her arms, "And who might this be?"
Raven looked down at Raiden and spoke up, "Oh…this is Raiden."
"She looks too young to be a titan." He added.
"Well…you see Alfred…she's a special guest of ours." Robin said as he walked up to the butler.
"That's Robin's daughter." BB said as Cyborg put his hand over the boy's mouth.
Alfred laughed to himself, "I'm sure she cannot be Master Dick's daughter."
"Alfred, please don't call me Master Dick while I'm here. Call me Robin will you." Robin said frustrated.
"No problem Master Dick, oops, I mean, Robin. Now that you think about it…that little girl does look a little like Master Robin and someone else…I just can't get it out from the tip of my tongue." Alfred said while rubbing his chin.
"Well, I guess no one, where's Bruce?" Robin said trying to change the subject.
"I got it! She looks like you and Ms. Roth here." Alfred smiled.
"Alfred what's all the commotion down here?" Bruce Wayne said as he came walking down the stairs.
"Just the titans Master Bruce, and a little one." Alfred replied.
"It's about time you all made it. I was getting worried that you weren't going to show up." Bruce said while standing in the middle of them. All of a sudden he looked at the little girl who was asleep in Raven's arms. "Who is that?"
"Master Dic…I mean Master Robin's daughter." Alfred said while grinning.
"Robin doesn't have a daughter." Bruce said while chuckling to himself.
"That's not what she said." BB said while Cyborg went to put his hand over his mouth again.
"She who? The little girl?" Bruce asked.
"Well now, do we get lunch and rooms?" Raven said while walking up to Bruce Wayne.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You sure do, just follow Alfred. Robin, you can follow me." Bruce said.
Robin looked at his teammates, then back at Bruce, "Who's going get my bags? I don't want Alfred to go through the trouble." he grinned nervously.
"I'll take them." Raven said while turning their fearless leader.
Robin then walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Don't you have Raiden in your arms?"
"Yeah, and did you forget about my powers?" Raven said to him.
"Okay Bruce, Raven has it under control." Robin said as he walked to one side of Bruce Wayne.
"Robin don't take long okay. I want you to be the first one to see my dress!" Starfire yelled in excitement. Robin turned around to see Cyborg and BB making fun of the comment Starfire made and he became mad.

Bruce and Robin walked into the bat cave and sat on some of the chairs that were present there. "So tell me Robin, how's life been treating you?"
Robin turned to Bruce, "Oh…it's been great!"
"Really? So what's this I hear about you having a daughter?"
All of a sudden Robin started to cough and beat on his chest, "Come again?"
"Your daughter Robin?"
"What daughter?"
"The little girl Robin, don't play dumb."
"Oh that little girl. Which little girl?"
"Robin?!"
"Oh, the one Raven was holding? She's not my daughter, she just claims she is." Robin said while laughing to himself nervously.
"Why does she claim you're her father?"
"I don't know."
"Well, who's her mother?" Bruce asked and once again Robin choked on the question.
"Come…"
"You say 'come again' one more time and I'll go Batman all up and down your ass."
"She says Raven!" Robin hurried up and said as he threw his hands up in-front of his to block any thrown attacks.
"Who says Raven? Wait…Raven?" Bruce eyes widened.
"Raiden, the little girl, says Raven is her mother and I'm her father."
"Didn't we talk about sex Robin?"
"What?! That wasn't the case! Raven and I didn't sleep together!"
"That's the only way you two could have had a child."
"Don't you think I know that, but she looks like Raven and I. She even has a wedding picture and video tape!"
"Really? You know, you don't have to hide your feelings for Raven."
"What feelings?! She's just my friend!"
"She's not tending to your needs?"
"Yes she is, I mean no she's not, I mean…she's just my friend!"
"Ahh little Robin has a girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Well it's either her or Starfire. I know Starfire isn't your girlfriend because just three minutes with her gives me a headache."
"I can't believe we're discussing this!"
"Well you should go rest before the ball and I don't want to catch you running into your little girlfriend's room.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Was the last thing Robin said before he went to his room to rest.

It was 6:45pm and the titans started to get ready for the big ball. Starfire sat on the bed and looked at the dress that was hanging on the door. Her eyes started to shine at the fact that that was the dress she was going to wear tonight so as to impress Robin. She took the matching shoes from under the bed and looked in the box.
"I can't wait till Robin and the others see how beautiful I'm going to look!" Star said with excitement. Starfire got up from the bed and decided that she was going to take a shower and wash her hair before she got dressed.
{scene change}
Raven just got out of the shower and her hair was soaking wet. She looked at herself in the dresser mirror and smiled, "Just wait until they see me." Raven said with a grin. She started to pull out all the things she needed to get ready for the ball and then chuckled to herself. "Earlier I said 'look good' for Robin. My determination must have gotten the best of me."
{scene change}
Robin, Beastboy, Cyborg, and Bruce Wayne were down stairs waiting for the girls to come down; it was 7:45pm and the ball was about to start. "Man! Where are they?!" BB was whining already.
"You know women man, they always take awhile to get ready." Cyborg added.
"I wouldn't think Raven would take long. I mean all she has to do is put on her Halloween costume." BB laughed out.
"You never know Beastboy." Robin said.
"Yeah Beastboy, don't talk about Robin's girlfriend like that." Bruce said.
"For the last time, she's not my GIRLFRIEND!" Robin yelled.
"He's right Bruce, Starfire is his girlfriend." Cyborg said.
"What?! She's not my girlfriend either!" Robin shouted. Alfred then comes down the stairs and stands at the bottom, ready to present both girls.
"Here they come guys." BB said.
"Gentlemen, coming out, is a beautiful young lady. Presenting the beautiful Madam Starfire." Alfred said while looking at the left top part of the stairs.
"Here comes your girlfriend." Both Cyborg and BB said.
"She's not my girlfriend." Robin whispered to them in frustration.
All of a sudden they saw Starfire coming down the stairs. As she came down the stairs they noticed that she wore a strapless emerald green dress that flared at the bottom. She also wore a pair of emerald green earrings with a matching necklace. The shoes she wore were also emerald green and closed toed with two inch heels. Her hair was in two ponytails that fell over her shoulders with, of course, green ponytail holders and two bangs coming over her face. The boys including Bruce Wayne looked at her in awe and clapped their hands which made her blush. When Star made it to the bottom of the stairs where the guys waited, they all bowed down. As she walked to each of them, she dipped and got a kiss on the hand. After Robin kissed her hand she gave him a hug. It wasn't her regular bone-crushing hugs, it was actually normal to his surprise. She looked him in the eyes and he noticed that they were shining like jewels.
"Star…you look beautiful." Robin said.
"Thank you Robin, so do you." Starfire replied back as she stood to the side of him. When Robin looked at BB and Cyborg he noticed that they were making kissy faces at him, so he flicked them off causing them to laugh.
"The next young lady to come out is dark/mysterious but makes it look good. Gentlemen, the beautiful Madam Raven." Alfred said as he looked at the top right part of the stairs. Beastboy and Cyborg started to laugh before she even got to show herself.
"Here comes your girlfriend." Bruce whispered into Robin's ear.
"Not my girlfriend." Robin whispered back.
As he said that he looked at the girl who was coming down the stairs and his mouth dropped wide opened. Beastboy and Cyborg looked at Robin and then turned to look at what he was looking at and then their mouths dropped opened as well with Bruce Wayne smiling. Raven was coming down the stairs in a beautiful black dress that criss-crossed in the back and that was V-shaped at the chest. The dress wasn't as long as Starfire's, it stopped at the knees and ruffled at the end. She had on some three inch stiletto opened toed shoes with a silver ankle bracelet. Her hair was crinkled and she had one crinkled bang coming down the right side of her face. She also had on some clear lip gloss with some onyx earrings and a silver chain that held an R on the end of it. All the guys stared at her without blinking and Bruce had to wave his hand in-front of all their faces, snapping them back to reality. Just like Starfire, when she got to the bottom of the stairs they bowed down and kissed her hand. When she got to Robin he couldn't keep his eyes off of her and she started to blush nervously. Noticing what he was doing Robin shook his head and kissed Raven's hand softly, but didn't let go of it.
"Raven…you look…you look…" Robin tried to say.
"Robin, you look handsome." Raven complimented.
"So do you, not handsome I mean, but beautiful, very beautiful." Robin finally replied. The two smiled at each other's compliment and looked at each other in the eyes. Starfire looked at the two of them and noticed that Robin didn't let go of Raven's hand yet.
"You can let go of her hand now." Star said trying not to sound annoyed. All of a sudden Robin let go of Raven's hand blushing and laughing nervously; 8:00 just hit and the first ring of the doorbell rang, here comes the guests.
{scene change}
As the ball was going on the titans were introduced to some important people by Bruce Wayne. Starfire stayed where Robin was and never left his side.
"Robin? Will you do the dancing with me?" Star asked him.
"Sure Star." Robin answered.
The two danced a good while to a slow song and Starfire felt like she was in heaven. When the song had ended and a new one started she wanted to dance to it too, but Robin wanted to go get himself something to drink so she let him go. As he walked away a young man asked Star to dance in-which she happily accepted. While Robin was refreshing himself with a cup of punch he noticed that Raven was dancing with Cyborg who was making her laugh. Robin couldn't help but smile at her because he always enjoyed her smile always being a rare sight to see. Suddenly he felt the same growing feeling come over him and he looked at Raven who was looking down at herself; he knew she just felt the feeling too. Robin put down his drink and walked slowly to where Raven and Cyborg were.
"May I cut in?" Robin asked slyly. Raven smiled at him.
"Sure man, I need a break anyway. Just don't step on my sister's feet." Cyborg said as he handed Robin Raven's hand and left.
"You want to dance with me?" Raven said.
"Sure I do." Robin said as he swayed Raven from side to side going with the music. He spun her around twice, then moved this way then that.
"Why am I beautiful?" Raven asked him out of the blue.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked taken a bit by surprised.
"Why do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Because you are yourself and don't care what people think of you. You put everything out there on the table." Robin said while dipping her and holding the position.
"Do you care about me?" Raven asked as she looked into his mask as if to look him directly in his eyes.
"So, so much." Robin replied. They both smiled and just as Robin was about to lift her up, they heard a scream coming down the stairs.
"Raiden?" Raven said.
"Ahhhhhh!" Raiden yelled at the top of her lungs. Both Robin and Raven ran towards where the girl had descended. Everyone was looking for the person who was screaming. As Raven got to her, Raiden jumped in her arms.
"Raiden what's wrong?" Raven asked her.
"I had a nightmare." The girl's body was shaking all over.
"Is that all?" Robin said as he walked up behind Raven who was holding the frightened child.
"Yeah I guess." Raven said.
"Maybe she should just go back to bed." Bruce Wayne said while walking up to them holding hands with Dianna, (wonder woman).
"No! I want my mommy and daddy with me!" Raiden cried.
"Who's your mommy and daddy sweetheart?" Dianna asked Raiden.
Raiden looked at her confused and pointed to Robin and Raven, "They're my mommy and daddy."
"You got to be kidding me." Dianna chuckled. "That's too cute."
"Yeah yeah." Raven said while starting to walk up the stairs carrying her.
"Wait! Not without daddy." Raiden said.
Raven rolled her eyes, "Come on dad." she said sarcastically. Robin looked at her funny then ran up behind them.
{scene change}
It was 12:00 midnight and the ball was just getting over. Alfred started to clean up with Beastboy and Cyborg helping him. The last person to leave was Dianna who Bruce kissed goodnight before he shut the door behind her.
"Master Bruce? Do you think Master Robin and Madam Raven is alright up there by themselves?" Alfred asked Bruce Wayne.
"They should be." Bruce replied.
"Dude! Did you see Raven tonight! Talk about a knock out!" BB said to Cyborg.
"Yeah I seen her! If she wasn't close to me like a sister, I would've been after her!" Cyborg replied.
"Too bad Robin got to her before we did." BB said jokingly.
Starfire looked at Beastboy with fire and her eyes and decided that she didn't want to hear their conversation anymore, "I'm going to check on Robin." she replied.
"Ooooooo." BB and Cyborg said while Bruce nudged them on their arms.
{scene change}
Starfire walked up the stairs and took out her ponytails frustrated that she didn't have all the time she wanted with Robin. "I wonder what they are doing. I hope nothing is going on. Star stop it! You know they do not like each other in that manner! Raven knows that me and Robin are close." Starfire thought to herself. When she finally got to the room Raiden was supposed to be staying in, she softly knocked on the door. When she didn't get an answer, she slowly opened the door and the first thing she noticed was the little lamp that was lit on the bed-side dresser. The second thing she saw was Raven, Robin, and Raiden laying in the bed. Robin looked a little older and was sitting on the right side of the bed. Raven also looked older sitting on the left side of the bed with her head laying on Robin's chest. Raiden sat in the middle of the two laying against them with a book opened in her hands. All three were asleep and Starfire stared in shock at how they looked like they belonged together, but she didn't like the fact. Starfire walked slowly to the lamp and turned it off, she wanted to wake Robin up so badly, but couldn't bring herself to do so. Instead, she walked slowly and quietly out of the room and closed the door behind her. She shook her head and held herself for awhile before flying off to her room. Bruce saw how fast Starfire left for her room when he got up the stairs, so he went to the same room she came from. When he opened the door and turned on the light he saw exactly what Star saw and smiled.
"Lovely couple." Bruce said as he cut the light off and walked out the room.
"Shut up." Robin said softly half asleep eyes still closed. Bruce chuckled to himself and closed the door behind him.
A/N: Did you all liked it! I hope you guys did and it's probably going to be awhile before chapter 7 comes along, but wouldn't it be worth the wait? Well until the next chapter byeeeeeee! Don't feel sorry for Starfire, she forgets about Robin so easily sometimes.
