The Next Morning: In the kitchen of Titan's Tower
Jay stretched, then flipped an egg over in a pan. She felt as if she needed to do something to thank the Titans for they're hospitality.
Superboy walked in, looking at her with a yawn. "I thought I smelled something good. You cook?"
"Yeah. I've mostly raised myself. My parents were always at work." She smiled, pointing to a plate filled with pancakes. "Help yourself to some cakes. I have Smurf cakes coming up as soon as the blueberries melt."
"Did somebody say Smurf Cakes?" the Changeling asked, poking his head in. "I haven't had Smurf Cakes since I was a kid. Well, I'm still a kid, but, you know what I mean!"
Jay smiled, checking the berries in the microwave. "Smurf Cakes, comin' up." She poured the berry juice in the pancake batter, mixing it to make them blue, pouring the batter on the griddle. She took the eggs out of the pan, putting them on the plate, too.
"Mmmm, the food smells so delicious!" Came Starfire's sweet voice from down the hall. "Who is the cooker?"
"Like, yeah! I'm so hungry!" Wonder Girl lazily walked in, looking around. "Wow, the new girl cooked pancakes! My favorite!" she took a plate and flopped two large pancakes on it, pouring syrup onto them, topping it with whipped cream.
Jay watched, flipping over some of the Smurf Cakes, careful not to let them burn. She put a few on the plate with the regular pancakes, and the Changeling practically jumped on the plate, grabbing three of them, carefully drawing syrup characters on them.
"Yum yum yum," he was chanting.
"Jay, you cooking?" Came Cyborg's familiar voice as he came in.
"You bet," Jay responded, flipping her hair out of her face.
"Good. I haven't had food like yours in years." He smiled and kissed her forehead sheepishly. "Mornin' Starshine."
"Oh gosh! I had almost forgotten about that!"
"How could you forget?! That was one of the best nights ever!"
The group gave the two reminiscing friends odd looks.
"A few years ago, Jay flew me to New York to visit my mom's grave. We caught a play afterwards."
"Hair." Jay laughed. "Vic here bought the tickets. He was acting like a perfect gentleman!"
"Hey, I always act like a perfect gentleman!"
"Implying that you simply act like one, that you really aren't one."
"Damn, she got me again." He smiled and put some scrambled eggs on a plate, adding a Smurf Cake, and grabbed a fork, going to sit down.
Kid Flash ran in, grabbing a plate and some food in record time. He ate within five seconds, put the plate in the dishwasher. "Good food, gotta go." He said and ran out as Raven walked in, her cloak flying in the breeze.
"I really wish he wouldn't do that." She said dryly, cautiously picking up the plate. "What are the blue things?"
"Smurf Cakes," the Changeling answered, putting his plate in the dishwasher. "Blueberry pancakes. Try them, Raven, you just might like them."
Raven sighed and simply dished up some eggs and sat, not saying anything.
"Where's Robin?" Jay asked.
"Training." Wonder Girl answered with a groan. "Which is where I should be. Later." She smiled at Jay and left.
"Yeah, I gotta get going, too." Superboy smiled at her. "Hey, didn't you have wings last night?"
Jay nodded. "They're just so uncomfortable to sleep with." Her wings sprouted out of her back with feathery glory. A small smile escaped Cyborg's lips.
"The practice field is name my calling," Starfire said, walking out of the room.
Raven out her plate in the sink without a word, floating off.
Jay and Cyborg looked at each other, suddenly alone in the large kitchen. "This happens... Everyday?"
"Yeah. Eating, then training." He smiled. "Sometimes fighting a bad guy or two, but this is mostly it."
"Nice life," she said, leaning back on the counter.
"I guess." He watched her as she turned, fixing herself some eggs. "Hey, I have something for you." He put his plate down and took her hand, causing her to set her own plate on the counter. "Come with me." He led her to his room and went into his closet. "I saw this and got it for you. It might be dusty. I've had it for months." He rummaged around and finally found a small teddy bear. He put it in her hands. "I know you collect them—or used to, at least."
Jay laughed, hugging the bear close. "It's so cute!" She hugged Cyborg with one arm, accidentally dropping the bear to the floor when she wrapped the other arm around him. "You're so sweet, Vic."
"You're welcome, Jay." He smiled and hugged her back. Oh, how he had missed his friend.
