Well well well. I'm Back! Sorry for the hiatus- I'm currently focused on Kim Possible Fics. Please read my KP fic When in Need, as that story precedes this one., and sets up the reason that the two teams know each other. It can be found on the KP section of the website, or by clicking my profile.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, or any other cartoon characters that I write about -for now.

Oh, and by the way, your kind reviews have enabled Control Freak to attend a 'Clash of the Planets" convention under moderate supervision.

On with the Story!

Chapter 4: Bat Talk part 1, or While the Titans are away…

After the newly enhanced Titans East returned to Steel City, Titans Tower became a little quieter. Or not.

"Please, would you play Halo 2 with me?" Beast Boy pleaded to Raven.

"Not. A. Chance. Why don't you get Cy to play? Or Robin?"

"Ah, Cy's working on the T-Car again and Robin's with Star."

"Oh. Well in that case, …. No. But I'll let you meditate with me."

"Don't you usually do that alone or with Starfire?"

"Well, you won't leave me alone, and Starfire has found other activities to occupy her free time."

Beast boy thought for a moment, and decided not to waist another chance to hang out with his no longer quite so creepy teammate.

In the basement, Cy was buffing the T-Car to a magnificent shine, and talking to Bumble Bee on his built in phone.

"Hey Bee! What's up?"

While on the roof, Robin and Starfire were talking about something other than how they felt about each other.

"Well, it seems Blackfire really has changed."

"Yes, and she is very fond of friend Speedy."

"Um.." Robin was somewhat reluctant to bring up his next topic. In fact, he had been avoiding it ever since he had proposed. None the less, it had to be done. So he took a deep breath and said, "I'm gonna have to tell Bruce."

"Tell him what, Robin?"

"About us, and our engagement."

"You have not yet told your Knorf, er, foster father about our betrothal? Why?"

"Because, he was always against personal relationships, especially between partners."

"But Robin, was he not like your father to you after your own parents died? I do not believe there is a much more personal relationship than between parents and their children."

"Good point. Well, we should tell him in person, since Gotham isn't exactly 5 solar systems away."

"I agree. When shall we leave?"

"Oh, in two days should be good. I'll tell the Titans they'll be without us for a week or so."

As Robin and Starfire returned to the main room, the Titan leader steeled himself against the inevitable pleas that at least Beast Boy was sure to make for him to take the whole team. Starfire, however, was in no way ready to resist the huge, sad eyes with which her green teammate pleaded to come along,

"Oh, Robin, why can't they come?"

"Who would watch the city?"

Beast Boy had an idea. "What about the Titans East?"

"No, they just were over here, and there's been some trouble in Steel City recently."

"How about, um, I got it! What about those dudes we helped to fight Brother Blood a few months ago?"

Robin thought for a moment, then recognition dawned upon his face.

"Oh, Team Possible, or was it Stoppable?" Robin saw both Starfire and BB looking at him as adorably as they were able. Beast boy had no effect, but Robin could only hold out for so long against his lovely fiancé.

"Ok, it couldn't hurt to ask. After all, I guess they kind of owe us a favor…"

No sooner had Robin finished when Beast Boy, now joined by Cyborg, were searching on the internet for the other team's famous website.

"Got it!" Cyborg called back in triumph.

In Middleton, Ron Stoppable was just bringing a tray piled high with nacos, his own brilliant creation, to his and Kim's favorite booth in Bueno Nacho. His wife couldn't help but smile as he set the try on the table and declared,

"Lunch is served!"

Kim was just about to bite into one of the cheesy, messy, yet somehow rather tasty semi-Mexican shell when the familiar tune of her Kimmunicater rang out. She reached for it and turned on the screen.

"Hey, Wade, what's the sitch?" Ron looked up when he heard Kim's trademark phrase.

"Who's trying to steal or takeover what this time? You'd think that sooner or later, even the villains would get board of the same old plots."

Wade responded from the screen, "No villains this time. In fact, someone's calling in a favor you owe them."

"Huh?" The two heroes couldn't help but be surprised. They called in favors, not the other way around.

"The Teen Titans need your help."

"I thought you said there weren't any villains."

"There aren't. They're going on some sort of trip, and they want you to watch the city while they're gone."

The two adults, in their early 20's, thought this over for a moment.

"Well, Kim, I always wanted to be a masked super hero…"

"Not the Fearless Ferret again!"

"Of course not. Well, kinda, I mean, I think the suit might fit this time!"

"Wade, you can tell the Titans that they've got themselves a pair of house sitters. Oh, and Ron, you are not wearing that costume."

"I sure would love to see you as Ferret Girl." Ron said somewhat wistfully. "If I can't be the Ferret, can I make my own costume? You remember my mad mask making skills."

"We'll see." Kim replied with a smile.

The news was received with great joy in Titan's tower, by all except the masked leader.

"Dudes! Now we can all go! And I can finally meet Batman!" Beast Boy was all but dancing around, he was so excited.

"Who said anything about Batman?" Robin asked, somewhat suspiciously.

"Come on, Robbo, we all know that we're going to see your mentor." Cyborg replied.

"I only said we were meeting my foster father Bruce." Robin was now on the defensive.

"Robin, I hate to break it to you like this, but everyone in the tower knows they're the same guy." Raven responded in her usual monotone.

"I know, I know. But if there's anyone more paranoid about secret identities then I am, it's Batman." Robin admitted defeat.

"Well, I'm not talkin'. You'll have to get Cy to promise on your own." Beast Boy concluded with a grin.

At that, Starfire entered the main room.

"Why hello, friends! Is it not glorious that we shall all be able to meet Robins foster father?"

"Truly glorious." Raven replied.

Robin sighed, as he thought what a five hour car trip with the Titans would be like.

The alarm went off, and the five heroes turned to the situation display, as they were already together.

"Looks like our house sitters are here." Cyborg announced as he saw the VTOL jet descending to the roof of Titans tower.

As the door to the jet opened, Ron was the first out.

"What's happening Titans! Titans? What, no welcoming committee?"

"Don't worry Ron, their probably off rescuing somebody." Kim replied, though it did seem a little odd that no one would be here, since they were expected. The door to the roof opened, and Starfire rushed out, grabbing both Kim and Ron in one of her classic hugs.

"Welcome again, friends! And thank you for coming!"

"It…was…nothing." Ron just managed to wheeze out before the tamerainian loosened her grip. The two visitors stumbled a bit as they caught their breaths.

"Oh! I am sorry if I have damaged you!"

"Don't worry about it. We're fine." Kim replied. By the way, what is this trip you're all going on, anyway? Some super hero summer vacation?"

"We're all going to Gothem City to tell Batman, who is Robin's foster father, that Robin and Starfire are getting married." Beast Boy answered.

"Hey, BB, whatever happened to 'I'm not talkin'?" Robin was only somewhat annoyed, as he knew they could trust the Stoppables.

"You and Robin are getting married?" Ron asked Starfire.

"Why yes friend Ron. Is it not glorious?"

"Why yes it is. This calls for a little celebration, when you get back."

Robin gave Kim and Ron a full tour of the Tower, explaining everything he thought they might need. Only Raven's room was completely off limits.

"It's just too dangerous. Just incase the temptation to try on her outfit grows too great, we put one of her cloaks in Starfire's closet. Just don't tell Raven that." Robin said quietly.

"Don't tell me what?" the pale titan floated along side the tour group. "Oh, nothing. I was just telling them to stay out of your room." Robin quickly covered.

"Good."

"Well, that's about it." Robin concluded at the end of the tour. "Any questions?"

"I've got one." Kim replied. "Where do we sleep."

"Well, any room you want I…" realization dawned on him. She meant sleep together.

"Um, well, I a…" Beast Boy's room was too messy, and Cy's didn't have a real bed. And the thought of his or Star's room being used for anything but sleeping was just a bit disturbing. "They wouldn't." He looked at the couple standing in front of him, their hands joined as they smiled. "I guess they would."

"We have a guest room. It's not used much, but we could have a queen sized bed there by tonight."

"Thanks. I didn't think any of your beds were quite large enough, anyway." Kim replied. She and Ron notice him squirm just a little, and they had to suppress the urge to see if they could make him blush more. As it was, when Starfire came up to him, she noticed that his cheeks weren't quite their normal color.

"Are you well, Robin?"

"Uh, yeah, Star." he answered.

"What are y'all doing wasting time? They're here, they've seen the tower, lets get going already!" Cyborg hollered, eager to get the T-car out on the road.

"Yes, let us go, Robin!" Starfire added in a very cheery voice.

"I call shotgun!" Beast Boy called out.

"Not a chance. There's no way I'm letting you drool all over my baby again, dog boy."

"Can we just leave already?" Raven was sitting in the car, holding a book that she apparently intended to read.

The other Titans entered the car, Cy as the driver, of course, Robin and Starfire together in the back, Raven sitting shotgun, and beast Boy in the back.

"You can put your dreary old book away, Rae, 'cuse I know some awesome car trip games!"

"You've got to be kidding me." She looked into his large, sad eyes. "oh no." "Alright. What do you have in mind?"

"A sing along! Oh, but not just any sing along. I bring you the extra special Teen Titans official car trip song!"

"Which is?" Someone else would have participated in this conversation by know, but Rob and Star were doing, something, and Cyborg was really and truly enjoying the ride.

"99 Bottles of Hair Gel on the Wall!" If it weren't for Raven's near complete mastery of her emotions, she very well might of cracked up at the suggestion.

Apparently, whatever it was that Robin and Starfire were doing was very interesting, as it wasn't until the green changeling and his singing partner reached 37 Bottles of Hair Gel that he realized what they were singing about. Blows might have been exchanged right then and there, if Starfire hadn't suggested they just sing something else. The hours passed somewhat peacefully, with Beast Boy singing along with some '80's radio station, the whole group joining in if they actually knew the song. Knowing the words never caused a problem for BB, who couldn't care less.

Peace couldn't last forever, however. It all started when Beast Boy decided it would be fun to sit in Raven's lap. HE changed into a gecko, and climbed to the car roof, when he was over Raven, he just released his grip and changed into a cat. Only it wasn't Raven's lap he fell on.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Get it off get it off get it off!" Cyborg screamed as the green kitten clung tightly to his head. The T-Car swerved, and would have crashed for sure if Raven hadn't lifted it from the road with her powers.

"Never do that again."

"Ok." a meek Beast Boy crawled back to his seat. Cyborg might well have turned his sonic cannon on his green teammate (he was as yet still to mad to speak), but Robin called out

"There it is! Gothem City!"

"Oh Robin, it is so large and, and…dark." Starfire was somewhat disappointed .

"Don't worry. Well be at Bruce's manor in no time."

It took a bit longer than that, as the city traffic was rather thick, but after half an hour, the T-car pulled in front of a large mansion.

"I and Star will go in. You guys park the car in the main garage. I tell you to come in if it's safe."

"If it's safe?" Raven was somewhat puzzled.

"Robin is not sure what his foster father will think of his getting married."

Robin and Starfire walked up to the front door together. Rather than their usual uniforms, Robin wore light gray slacks and a somewhat darker shirt with a tie. Instead of his mask, he wore a pair of dark sun glasses. Starfire wore a light purple dress that went down just past her knees.

Robin rang the bell, and clutched Star's hand tightly. Alfred answered the door.

"Master Dick! Its been so long. And who is this young lady?"

"Alfred, this is Starfire, my teammate and fiancée."

Back at the tower, the Stoppables were getting settled.

"Just think, Ron. We just have one city." There was no reply.

"Ron? RON?" She was beginning to grow concerned, when out stepped her beloved husband. In green tights and a cape.

"How do I look?"

What will the Bat say? And are Kim and Ron over their heads? Find out in the next exciting chapter!

A thousand apologies for those who have been waiting. I hope future updates will be more rapid.

Once again, if the Kim and Ron stuff didn't make sense to you, read "When in Need, under my profile. It might help.

Reader Poll: Soon, Robin's gonna need a best man. Who should it be? Beast Boy Cyborg or somebody else? A warning, though-I want Rae as the maid of honor, and this is definitely BBxRae. That doesn't have to affect your decision, though.

Don't Forget to Review! I don't mind being told to hurry up-it lets me know you're interested.
