Disclaimer: I still don't own Teen Titans. And if I did, I would
force the animators to give me some Starfire/Raven yuri (yes, perverted,
but I don't care)
R&R this story, constructive criticism is welcomed, but not flames. If you flame, I'll tell you how much of a douche you are and how much you suck at writing, because that's what you deserve to be told if you don't respect other people's work.

Chapter Two
When he reached the tower, he was even more amazed by the sheer size of it. He ventured a guess, thinking it must be at least ninety stories. 'Why in God's name would they need all this room? How can they afford it? Rewards must be high for criminals in this city because I'm sure as hell they wouldn't be working in order to pay for all this.' The tower itself was located on a small patch of land, which broke off from the city with a small road leading to it. Several gardens, varying in size were located around the entrance and the tower. 'Well...here I go...' He thought to himself, as he walked up to the door, and knocked. He waited. Waited...no answer...'Well no crap Sherlock, the place is farking huge, how could sound carry that well so they could hear it?' He looked around the door, and after several seconds, found what looked to be some sort of two-way intercom, with a monitor above it. 'So they can see who their talking to and I can see who I'm talking to...'
He pressed the button marked "talk" and did just that.
"Um...Hello? Is anyone there?" he said.
More waiting, with a long silence. Finally, the intercom buzzed to life, as the monitor turned on, and a face appeared. Lucky for John, it was indeed Starfire, and her serene, cheerful voice filled his ears.
"Why hello, may I ask who this is and what it is you request?" Starfire said, a smile on her face, her emerald eyes glowing.
'Oh my God...she's beautiful. Eyes of emerald...hair of ruby...skin of gold...and what a smile....I am not worthy...'
John just stood there, looking at this fallen angel, jaw slack, eyes wide. He immediately loved everything about her. Starfire was indeed beautiful, and naturally so. She had no need for any form of cosmetics, not that she would even be familiar to the concept of make-up. She still had much to learn about Earth and its customs, which John figured, from the not- so-hard-to-miss fact that she was an alien of some sort. Still gaping, he slowly took one step back, and fell to the ground in a sitting position, still dumbfounded by the girl on the monitor's screen. He let out a grunt as he hit the ground, loud enough for the intercom to pick it up.
"Hello? Are you all right? I heard a thudding noise and a grunt...and where are you?"
For a moment he just sat their, Starfire's words not registering in his brain. When they did, he quickly sat up, brushed off his rear, and began to talk to her again.
"Yes..I'm ok. Uum...hello...I'm John..."
"Hello John, I am Starfire. May I ask again what it is you request?"
"I...uh...um..." He continued to stammer, unsure on how to continue.
"Well I uh..kind of...need a place to stay for a while...And I was just wondering if maybe I could stay here with you and your friends... I'll pay rent, if I have to, I'm going to school and I'll be needing to get a job so it's not like you would have to deal with me much...if you and your friends didn't want to that is...."
"Oh! Oh of course you may stay here! I'm sure my friends shall welcome your company, and you won't have to-what was it? 'Pay rent?' Our residence is quite large enough to accommodate our needs, not to mention yours! Which means you won't have to work, so you'll be able to spend time with us!" Her eyes turned into upside down 'U' shapes while she said this.
At hearing this, John let out a heavy, long sigh of relief, and wiped his hand across his forehead, moving his bangs, which were threatening to fall over his eyes. He also ran a hand through his black hair, heart beat beginning to slow down.
"Whew, thank you so much! I'm so relieved, I was kind of lying when I said I had school, it's summer vacation for me. I promise I won't be of any trouble!" He said.
"Of course John! Please come in so we can get to know each other, and- I believe this is the proper term-'hang, out?'" As she said this, the door slid upwards, revealing the insides of a large room. John picked up his bag, and slowly walked in, his heart beat speeding up again.
Once inside the entrance of the tower, he looked around the large room. He noticed several comfortable, leather chairs lining the walls. The walls were painted a dark blue, almost black. The floor was paint in black, with a large red stripe, wide enough for several people to stand side by side, leading towards another door. John walked to it, looking around nervously as he did. He noticed a keypad next to it, and that the door was some sort of bulkhead.
'Probably incase someone was trying to break in and got past the first door.' He thought to himself. 'How am I going to open it though?' He began punching random numbers into the keypad, each giving a small beep as he did so. After several unsuccessful tries, he tried to pry open the bulkhead himself. After grunting and pulling, shoving, and anything else he could think of, he quickly gave up. 'Ok that was stupid; it IS a giant steel door after all.'
Still pondering on how to get past this obstacle, he tapped the bulkhead with his hand. As soon as he did this, the bulkhead opened up quickly, with a hiss. Starfire jumped outward from the other room with glee, giggling while greeting and startling John.
"Ah!" he yelled, caught off guard. He fell backwards onto his rear again, as Starfire began to talk, her eyes still in the shape of upside down 'U' shapes.
"Welcome John! Why are you on the floor...? Did I scare you?"
"Just a little, I'm ok."
"Then let us introduce you to the others!"
"Well...if you insist..."
Mean while, in the living room of the tower, the rest of the teenagers were sitting around. Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg sat on the semi- circle couch watching the big-screen TV, while Raven sat at the edge of the couch, reading her latest novel.
"Where'd Starfire go off to?" Robin asked, while clicking through the many channels they had.
"She said something about a visitor-hey go back a few channels, I like that movie!" Beast Boy replied.
"Fine, here," Robin said as he tossed the remote to Beast Boy.
"Awesome!"
"Wait, it's my turn to decide what to watch though!" Cyborg yelled at Beast Boy. "And I decide that we're gonna play my new VIDEO GAME!" Cyborg quickly held up a new video case, covered in a futuristic city landscape, with several suspended roads going through the city. Another racing game.
"But I wanna watch this movie! It's like the best movie of all time! AND I have the remote!" Beast Boy began waving his arms in the air, while pointing towards the TV screen.
"It's MY turn to decide what we do now!" Cyborg and Beast Boy quickly entered another shouting match, while Raven just sighed, shook her head, and walked back to her room. Starfire soon after entered the room, followed by a still nervous John.
"This is the living room, where me and my friends perform the 'hanging out!'" Starfire said, still giggling, her eyes still upside down 'U' shapes.

If these chapters seem short, I apologize. I kinda have writers block right now, and I know how a lot of writers put like 10k words into a single chapter, and I'm averaging like 1k (note, k=roman numeral for 1000). So R&R, no flames and whatever. On where this story should go, I welcome ideas, because I (once again) have writers block.
