'Blah, Blah, Blah' Thoughts

Teen Titans: Blood of the Night

Chapter 1: First night of Comfort

Another quiet night has settled on Jump City as the boring sun gave way to the everlasting moon. There was an unusually calm night, giving that the city is playing host to some crazy, wacko, and dangerous criminals (Slade, H.I.V.E, etc, etc, etc) and they are usually causing havoc in the city. Not tonight, however, as the night plays host to the normal people, or as normal as the night as seen because this city is no 'normal' per se, but you get the idea. The many banks, the tech centers, and every other building are not being vandalized, robbed, or been destroyed (it will be sooner or later). The people living in the city going about their daily routines, trying to find some meaning in their short, but fulfilling lives (whatever that may be). Our attention, however, is not on the city itself, but to the big and yellow tower that is shaped as a 'T' known as the T Tower (name sucks, we know) that is situated at the bay of the city, on its own little inland, only connected to the mainland by a small road. 10 stories high, it could be seen from almost any vantage point in the city, for onlookers or master criminals.

A lone figure sits on top of the tower, apparently in mediation, as the sun begins to set. Words are barely heard as the wind blows a gentle breeze past this person. The figure, although in a semi-conscious state, continues to murmurs words of unknown language to further focus her mind and clear all thoughts. Purple locks of hair barely reaching the shoulder blades, swaying in tunes with the wind. Wearing a dark purple/blue leotard and a long dark blue cape with a hood, the figure suggests that the person is a girl, but no normal girl. This girl is known by Raven, and this girl is part of a group of teenager superheroes known as the Teen Titans. Although she is one of the more powerful members of the group, she rarely partakes in the team's fun times. Hell, she never did for the longest time unless she got tired of their constant begging for her to join them in their little outings. Tonight is that such night, as the rest of the team is having a party with the Titan East, another group of teen superheroes that is situated in Steel City. The team has gotten back from Tamaran several days ago following a blotched/blackmail/plan marriage arranged by ex-ruler Blackfire, and the team felt the need to throw a party for nothing has been reported, nor no crime has been committed.

As she was sitting there trying to clear her mind of everything and nothing and trying (in vain sometimes) to get her emotions in line (apparently, Happy was being chased by Anger for a comment about smiling), her senses detect a faint mind coming up the stairs to the roof top. Although she can detect almost any mind that comes near her, there are some that are very hard, near impossible to read, and this is one of them. If it wasn't for the fact that a dark, mysterious aura that surrounds him is always there, due to his past and the soft melody that plays in her mind every time he walks by (damn… Happy is playing on the violin again, must have outrun Anger), she wouldn't guess that the person is Robin, The Boy Wonder, their fearless leader. Just as she was going to go back to mediating, Robin walks through the roof door that led him outside, holding a cup of tea.

"So that's where you have been all this time. The other guys are having a party downstairs with the Titan East, aren't coming down?" Robin asked.

"No, thank you. Parties aren't really my thing. Besides, it's nice up here and I need to get away from the noise." She said. The noise of the party is still hearable from behind him, albeit it was quieter.

"Okay, I understand. It does get noisy at most." Robin said. "What were you doing up here anyway?"

"What does it look like? I'm not up here to play game of volleyball?" She said softly, trying to sound cynical.

"Sorry. I'm just curious, that's all. You seem almost at ease before I came up right behind you." He doesn't really know why, but he like it when he and Raven talk without the distraction.

"Mediating and enjoying the sunset."

"Really?"

"Really."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…Mind if I join you?"

"I thought you were going back to the party?"

"Sorry, but I need to get away from the noise some times. Reminds me of the past. You can thank Batman for that."

"And here I thought otherwise, being that you partake in some the crazy antics that Cyborg and Beast Boy carry out." Raven smirked.

"Sometimes they can a little rowdy, but who am I to say?" Robin signed after saying that statement.

"You're right…and no, I don't mind."

"Okay." Robin walked beside Raven and sat down next to her.

"I made you a cup of tea, just in case." Robin handed her a cup of her green tea.

"Thank you."

As the two sat there on the roof, watching the sunset, Raven was thinking why Robin would join her, while sipping on her tea. She turned slightly to her left and silently watched Robin as he sat there as he started thinking about everything and nothing. His dark jet-black hair, done in spiky type of style, waved with the gentle breeze. His always red, green, yellow costume stood out with tones of muscles showing underneath.

'A fashion disaster. Seriously, does he get dress in the dark, or he's just colorblind?'

That mysterious dark aura that surrounds him ever present, what make him, well him, always keeping his enemies guessing. What kept her attention, however, was the mask. As long as she has known him, she never saw what was underneath that mask, nor never saw him take it off. She always wondered what was the color of his eyes were. She remember a conversion she partake several weeks before between Cyborg and Beast Boy about the colors of his eyes. At the time she didn't care much about it, but lately she has this unknown curiousity about his eyes and always wondered what his eyes look like.

'If course, that not the only thing that is keeping your attention, isn't it?' A sly voice whispered. Raven blushed and shook her head. Robin turns to her and raised an eyebrow, or as least his mask rose a bit, as if curious about something.

"Raven, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Raven said in her monotone voice. Good thing her hood was up or Robin would have seen a faint blush on her face. Robin, accepting her answer, turns back and continues to sit here on the ledge, watching the sunset.

"Well, at least he accepts my answers, unlike some people I know…" At this statement, Beast Boy sneezed, sneezing a combination of coke and snot onto Cyborg, resulting in a chase involving Cyborg, Beast Boy, and a frying pan.

That was one of the things that Raven likes about her leader. Robin never pries any deeper into her answers unless he absolutely needs to.

'He respects me. He never asks more than what was needed. He gives me his utmost attention when he talks to me. He gives me space and privacy and never invades my area unless I ask him to. He knows when to talk to me and when not to.'

'Or do you like him because he has a hot body?' That same sly voice whispered. Raven now knows for sure who was whispering.

'Shut up.'

'Make me...'

The two of them continues to sit there, content of the comfortable silence that was between them, and continues to watch the sun set and the moon rises. Several hours later, Robin stood up and stretches a bit.

"Well, I'm heading in and catch some Z's. It's getting late anyway, and we need to get started on training early tomorrow. You are coming in?"

"Sure. Why not?"

Robin then gave his hand to Raven, which she took and would have been nothing if she hasn't stood onto her cape. She stumbled a bit and fell forward…onto Robin. Robin caught her as she fell forward and ended up falling himself. They both ended up on the floor of the roof, with Raven's hands on his chest and Robin's arms around her waist. Both were too stumped with the close proximity of each others body and if they weren't stumped, either cared. They laid there for quite some time (with Raven admiring and feeling his smooth chest, Robin wondering about Raven's waist and smooth skin and trying to clear his mind, and Raven's Happy and Brave emotions cheering her on) until they both realized what happened and separated faster than Beast Boy's rush to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

"Sorry about that, Raven."

"No, it was me. I should get a shorter cape."

"No, I should have been more careful…"

They spent the next several minutes apologizing to each other, and then they both decided to drop it all together. Robin walked up to the roof door and held it open as Raven floated through the doorway.

Meanwhile, in the common room, both the remains of the Titans and the Titan East were out cold, all from the sugar, candy, and soft drinks they drank, and the exhaustion they had from partying too much. Empty coke cans were everywhere, with cheetos laying all over the place. Tire-like marks were seen going around the island counter (thanks to Cyborg and Beast Boy). In short, hell has struck and a hurricane has past by here and the whole place looks like shit. Starfire was the only one conscious. Looks cannot describe her; her orange skin is very smooth with good muscle tones. Her red-orange hair swaying as her body moves. In short, her figure, although toned down a bit due to her young age, was that of a curvy supermodel. Right now, though, she was cleaning up a bit, although her efforts were for naught because 1) the mess keeps multiplying every time she picks something up and 2) her attention was elsewhere, mostly to her beloved Robin.

Ever since she came to Earth and joins the Titans, she was automatically enamored to Robin, because of his kindness, his attention to her, and his attitude towards the team. Not to mention, that he was very handsome, in that dark mysterious way. He was always patient to her in explained the many customs that Earth has, always to help her in any way possible.

'Ohh, this trash is not going anywhere. I wish Robin was here. This was supposed to be a night of celebrating and I want to spend the night with Robin cleaning up the stickiness and thee cans of empty soft drinks.' Starfire then look at the clock over the main doorway. It was getting late.

'I wonder where Friend Robin is. He left hours ago and never came back. Ohh, I hope nothing of the bad as happen to him. Maybe I should search for Friend Robin. I want to share this night of fun and happiness with him. Maybe…' Just as she was going into a world of her own, the automatic doors open. Starfire heard this and start for the door.

"Friend Robin, you are back. Ohh, I am so happy that nothing of the bad has…happen…to…" She stopped mid-sentence as she saw her Robin and Raven walking through the door…together. Now, to anybody else, this would seem normal, but not to Starfire. She runs her life through emotions and seeing her Robin and Raven together sent a wave of little curiously and jealously through her.

'Why is my Robin and Friend Raven walking…at the same time…together?' Before she can go into it more, Robin was trying to get her attention.

"Uh Starfire, hello. Are you okay there?"

"Oh, Friend Robin and Friend Raven, hello. Where have you been? Robin, you left hours ago and I thought something bad has happen to you." Starfire put on a face of happiness over her face of jealousy.

"No Starfire. I just left to get some air."

"Why, you can get some air in here with our friends here and the you missed the party. Come, we will continue celebrating the night." Starfire grabbed his arm and started dragging Robin towards the room.

"That okay, Starfire. Besides, I'm a bit sleepy and I need to rest." Robin said.

"Oh…uhh…okay." Starfire half-heartily said, letting go of Robin.

"Besides, we need a fresh start tomorrow and get this place cleaned up anyway." Raven said while looking around the now destroyed (in her mind) room, hoping that the mess will clean itself up.

"Yes, Friend Raven. We should get some sleep. Come, Robin, lets us go to our rooms and retire." As Starfire and Robin were walking out of the door, Raven was behind them, sensing different emotions from Starfire and herself. She always knew that Starfire really likes Robin and wants to be with him, every waking moment and Robin…well she can't sense anything from him, but by the way Robin looks, she can guess that Robin is weary of this attention sometimes. The more she thought about it, the more windows are being broken several stories below them.

'What am I thinking, Robin would never do that. He would never let his attention waver whenever Starfire was talking to him. Wait, why do I care what happens between the two? It's not like I like him, well I do, but his attention is always on Starfire and...and...and…' She did not notice that they were in front of Starfire's room until Raven bumped into Robin. She murmurs a quick 'sorry'.

"Goodnight Robin. We will wake up early and clean up the messiness tomorrow together." Starfire said. She then went into her room, look one last time at Robin and the door slide shut.

"Well, I should get going as well. Raven, shall we get going?"

"What?"

"Well, your room is across from mine, and we're both on the tenth floor. Shall we?"

"Ohh" Raven said with a faint blush, "Okay"

By the time they reach their respective rooms, it was little past midnight. Raven turn around towards Robin.

"Good night Robin."

"'Night Raven, sweet dreams…" Then Robin went into his room. Raven did as well, but leans against the sliding door after she got in. Those last words took her by surprise and left her a little breathless.

'Well, he says that to any girl, anyway. Why do I even bother?' Raven went to her bathroom, brush her teeth and put on her nightgown, which she brought when she and Starfire went shopping yesterday, on the insistence on Starfire. She then walk out of her bathroom, went to her bed, got on, and just laid there for quite some time before deciding to mediate. She got off her bed, went to her drawer, where a mirror of magnificent design laid. This was no ordinary mirror, though, but a portal to her mind, giving to her by her mother, Arella, so her mediations can be easier if needed. She took the mirror, went back to her bed, sat locust-style, closed her eyes, and began murmuring the words we all love and enjoy…

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos …"

The more she said it, the more she felt relaxed. Soon she finds herself in Nevermore, her mind's landscape, where all of her emotions resides. She looks around and scan the area, see if anything is out of the ordinary. Just then, she felt two arms around her, grabbing her in a reverse bear hug. Raven spun around, only to meet face to face with…

Another Raven. Everything about her is exactly the same with the real Raven, down to every bit of details. The only differences are 1) the color of her clothes is pink and 2) she is very, very happy, which is foreign to most who knew the real Raven.

"Raven, Raven, I'm so happy to see you, I was getting bored not doing anything else other than be glad that you finally have a boyfriend." Happy said.

"What boyfriend?"

"Well, the Boy Wonder, of course. Come, let's tell the others." Happy then dragged the Raven to another part of Nevermore where more Ravens are seen, each wearing a different color cloak and showing a different emotion. Brave was talking, or at least trying to, to Anger, which was leaning against a rock. Timid was behind Intelligence, looking over her shoulder as Intelligence was reading a book (Quantum Physics of the 5th Dimension). Lazy was sleeping when Happy and Raven walk to the middle of the group, screaming "Raven has a boyfriend, Raven has a boyfriend."

"Well, it's about time she did. I was getting bored when she didn't at least try to kiss him." Brave said, jumping up and down.

"Well, whoopee do. Good for you, now LEAVE ME ALONE." Anger said to Brave and Raven.

"Umm, will be as nice as you said he is. Because he might run away if we scared him." Timid whispered.

"Logically, I don't know why it took you so long to see him in that light. All the evidences was right there. All you have to do was piece it together." Intelligence went into a teacher mode, sliding her glasses up a bit so often. All this chatting was giving Raven a headache. All she wanted to do was calm herself down, but instead all of her emotions were talking at once, all along the lines of Robin, boyfriend, and kissing. She can't stand any longer.

"All of you SHUT UP. ROBIN IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND. HE"S JUST A PERSON I FEEL CONTENT WITH. HE"S MY LEADER." She took a few slow breaths. "Look, I came here to calm you all down and try to get some sleep, so please do so and calm down."

"Why, the duo over there will keep me up anyway with their chanting and if they don't stop, I WILL REALLY GET ANGRY AND BLAST THEM TO KINGDOM COME!" Anger yelled, directing her attention to Happy and Brave, both chanting 'Raven has a boyfriend'.

"Look, for the last time, Robin is not my boyfriend, he's my teammate. Besides, I think Starfire has already filled that spot."

"Highly unlikely." Intelligence said, closing her book and direct her attention to Raven. "If you have paid attention, you would have notice that 1) Robin has not asked Starfire out, 2) it's always Starfire trying to ask Robin out, 3) Robin doesn't have that look that every hormone-crazed guy has when faced with a beautiful specimen, 4) Robin has a hot body, 5) he always busy with…"

"Stop, stop right there. What do you say?" Raven was sure she heard what Intelligence said about his body.

"Were you not listening? If you have paid…"

"No, what was the fourth thing you said about Robin?" Raven heard some mumbling and something intangible and she swears she saw a faint blush behind Intelligence. Before Raven can ask again what Intelligence said, Timid answer her instead.

"Umm…she said that…um…please don't hurt me, but umm…she said that Robin…has…a…umm…a…hot body…" Timid whispered, shrinking down a bit when Raven and Intelligence both look at her.

"Great." Raven sighed, "The one place to get away and focus my mind and the only thing I accomplished is finding out that all my emotions thinks that Robin has a hot body. What am I going to do?"

"Well, you can get into some lingerie, sneak into Robin's room, and get into bed with him." Brave whispered while twiddling her fingers while all the Ravens showed a healthy pink blush, including Anger, where a faint pink plush appeared on her face.

"THAT'S IT! GO TO BED, NOW!" Raven yelled. At this, all her emotion disappeared and Raven was brought back to her bedroom, mirror and all. She places her mirror on her desk beside her bed and look at her clock.

"Finally, now to get some sleep. 1pm. Nice." She lay down for several more minutes and before sleep can claim her, a single thought ran through her mind.

'I should wake up early and help…Robin…nice…he…is…zzz…ZZZ…ZZZ…'

Well, this is my first attempt at write a story. So send me your comments and complains. Also, can somebody please tell me the colors of each emotion that show up in the cartoon show?

Second chapter will be up soon.
