Birds of a feather… Flock Together!

"Hi, it's Rick. Last time, I told Raven and of course, Starfire, how I actually met Starfire, as me, Rick. Not as the internationally enigmatic crime fighter/Falcon Enterprises 'employee' the Falcon. Not to mention I got kissed by Starfire herself! This time around, The Titans judge and taste my cooking, IRON CHEF STYLE! And I finally set my sister Raven up! But whom do I have in mind? Let's just say… Another bird flies in."

"This is pointless, Rick. You, getting me, a boyfriend? Like that'd ever work."

*Grins evilly* "Not after today, sister."

"We'll see."

After I had flown around and energized my cells, the Titans and I sat at the table.

Robin quipped, "Wow, Falcon. I didn't know you could cook!"

I winked, "Well, Rick did teach me. In fact, Rick actually went to Japan and beat one of the Iron Chefs!"

Cyborg grinned, "I have that recorded. In fact, it was interesting to see that a teenage Bruce Wayne could cook and beat Iron Chef Japanese Michiba!"

I sighed, "Oh, come on! Comparing Bruce Wayne to Rick Falcon is… Is like comparing Lexcorp to Stark Enterprises!"

Raven quipped, "It's been 5 whole months since I last tasted real food. Let us taste if my brother's food truly is legendary."

Beast Boy sighed, "Doesn't matter to me if it's good or not, dude. As long as it tastes good, I am down with that, brother!"

I laughed, "Praise the stars for that, brother! Praise the stars for that."

Starfire said, "This is the first time I have tasted human food other than what you humans have called 'Fast food' or greasy snacks. Is it dangerous?"

I sighed, "Kory, you have a lot to learn about Earth. Foods and industries are two of them. And don't worry, this is not dangerous. As soon as you have tasted this, I guarantee, one bite, and you're hooked!"

Robin tasted one slice and exclaimed, "Holy culinary arts, Titans! Man, Rick is awesome when it comes to technology, but when it comes to cooking… MAN, HE IS DA BOMB!"

Beast Boy tasted another slice and shouted, "I don't know about you, but this is the best non-meat dish EVER!"

Raven had another slice and for the second time she actually smiled.

Cyborg smiled, "I got it!"

Raven snapped; "Show that to anyone, you die."

Cyborg sighed, "I get the picture, Raven, jeez! You don't have to mutter death threats, sheesh!"

Raven quipped, "What in the name of Hades… THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD! BY THE FORCES OF DARKNESS, I HAVE FOUND THE ULTIMATE DISH!"

I blushed, "I'm just a sous-chef, truth be told!" (AN: Sous in French, means under!)

Raven stated, "By the forces of darkness, you should be a MASTER chef! If anyone tries to stand in my brother's way, stand down or die!"

I had no words to say to that. In fact, it was very comforting to find out that my sister had my back.

I laughed, "So it seems we are going to keep the pact."

Raven telepathically quipped, What makes you think I was going to abandon that pact, after you going all the trouble just to find me? >

I sighed, "Calm down, Raven."

Finally, Kory had a taste and she exclaimed, "This is one of the best Earth foods I've ever tasted!"

I smiled, "Glad you think that, Kory. You know, there are many Earth foods I'd like to cook for you, that is, if you want me to."

Starfire exclaimed, "Cook! Show me the wonderful foods your planet has to offer!"

Then, I smiled my matchmaking grin.

Raven groaned, "Oh, no, not again!"

I thought, 'Beast Boy? Nah! He tells way too many corny jokes. Raven would just whack Beast Boy and me if I were set up her and Beast Boy. Literally'

I looked at Cyborg and wondered, 'Cyborg? Way too modern!"

Then, I looked at Robin. That's when I smiled very evilly, and I laughed, "BWHAAAAAAA!" And then, I ran into my room.

Starfire asked, "What was that about?"

Beast Boy answered, "Don't ask me!"

Cyborg replied, "I don't know nothin'!"

Robin just gave a shrug.

Raven thought, 'Hmm. This might turn out better than I thought it would. I always did thought that Robin needed a girl.'

In my room, many ideas were popping into my head. Then, I saw an ad for a dark romantic flick. Ironically, it was titled 'The Raven and the Robin.' Then, I grinned evilly. I thought, 'Hey… The old anonymous letter to see a movie together ploy. That might just be so crazy, so insane, so deranged, but it's also so classic, so romantic, and so typical… It might just be cracked and predictable enough to work!' And with that, shrouded by darkness and a pencil, I began to write my letters and my insidious romantic plot of romance and intrigue, to bring two birds together. One, of Darkness, and one, of Light.

I laughed like a deranged mad scientist; "THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM! BWHAAAAAAAAA!"

Robin received a knock from his door. On the hallway, he found a mysterious letter. He opened it and it read:

My dear Robin:

I've found a movie. Sure, it's romantic, a fad I find seriously pointless, but that's not the point. It's dark as well. You know I love to watch dark movies, but… I don't want to watch it alone. I was wondering… Could you please watch it with me? Thank you. Meet me at the Kabuki Theater in Japantown at sundown.

Sincerely yours, from the powers of darkness,
Ray

Raven received a knock on her door. She too, found an anonymous letter. She used her powers to open it and it read:

My dearest Raven:

It has been quite a pleasure working with you, although I couldn't honestly say that the pleasure is all mine. Even though you're a bit pessimistic sometimes… I know, deep down, you've got a caring heart. I'd like to thank you for your cooperation. Hey! I know what we can do. We can watch the movie 'The Raven and the Robin' together! Even though it's romantic, it's also very dark. Could you please watch it with me? I'll be at the Kabuki Theater in Japantown at sundown.

Sincerely yours,
Rob

The two headed to the Kabuki Theater by their own separate ways, and I smiled. I quipped, "The stage is predetermined, and the traps are set to strike."

Cyborg asked, "Are you sure this is a good thing, Falcon?"

I smiled, "Don't worry! It'll go off without a hitch!"

Beast Boy whined, "But… I WANT RAVEN!"

I grinned, "She never did like your corny jokes, if I remember correctly. Besides, you'll find… Other beasts in the jungle!"

Beast Boy brightened, "You sure?"

I laughed, "Heck yeah!"

Starfire asked, "What happens when they find out?"

I groaned, "Let's hope that never happens."

Sonic Angel: Ooh! The otherTitans are playing Matchmaker! Will the birds admit their love? Will they ever find out that it was a ploy by the other Titans? Heh, you don't even want what Raven will do when she gets wind of the fact that the other Titans were in on this? Or, do you? Next time… "Bird Love! Raven's… Gratitude?!"
