Chapter 1
Sleepless
4:25 was not a good time for any of the Titans to still be up, but him in particular. And anyways, he just couldn't get to sleep. Nothing in particular was bothering him, but every time he tried to go to sleep, he just couldn't. After fighting Cinderblock, who they'd spotted stealing on their way home from the Titans East Tower, the other Titans had went to bed long ago.
When he got home, all he could think about was Slade, because Cinderblock usually worked for him. Just thinking about his psychotic foe caused another sleepless night. He tried to make himself tired, but only infomercials were seen on TV, and the only food was Beast Boy's tofu that was green looking and wiggling.
Ugh. Probably not the best thing to eat. Maybe I'll order some pizza. Why fight the sleeplessness? I suppose the others think I'm an insomniac. "Now where's that pizza menu for Tony's?
Finally, he spotted it under a sleeping Silkie. As he wondered what he would order, he silently dialed the number.
"Tony's Pizza Place. How can I help you today? Or should I say tonight? What kind of person calls at 4:30 in the morning?"
For once, I don't have to think about what the other Titans want to eat. "One medium pizza with pepperoni, double cheese, light on the sauce, and a small size of barbeque chicken wings."
"Pickup or delivery?"
"Pickup."
"Under what name?"
"Robin."
"Your order will be ready in 15-20 minutes, Robin."
"Thanks."
Robin put down the phone, turned off the TV, and grabbed his motorcycle helmet he had so carelessly thrown on the couch. He took one last look around the Tower, and left as silently as possible.
Up in her room, Raven was awoken as she mentally felt one of the Titans leave the Tower. She looked at the clock to see what time it was.
"4:30? Where would a Titan go at 4:30 in the morning? And which one?"
The last question was the easiest of all to answer. Robin. It has to be him. Who else would be up at this ungodly hour but our own Titan-insomniac?
Raven heard the roar of his motorcycle starting up and knew she had been right. She went to the window to see Robin leave.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." Silently and slowly, the black bird that was Raven followed Robin until he stopped.
Tony's. Guess he just got hungry. And who could honestly blame him? The only thing I saw in the fridge lately was something of Beast Boy's. Raven turned around and headed home.
