If Questions for Titans
By: ANTT
Well, here I am again, ready to start another chapter. But before I do, I want to ask a question, how many people have seen 'Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith'? It was awesome wasn't it? My father said it was the best one, Action all the way through. I thought so too, but really I haven't seen the first two movies, so I have to go see them quick before I die….and the same with this story…so, hurry, ANTT, hurry! (lol, he he)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, nor do I own the book, If…Questions for Teens, or any of the questions in it.
…
This is the start of a whole new chapter… Chapter 2: The Continuum
…
IMPORTANT NOTE: I really don't know what Red X's belt runs on so I just want you guys to bear with me with what ever it is that I come up with it to work on.
…
I look down at my shirtless self, and sighed. I still had my bra on, but then again the Teen Titans were staring at me. Did they consider it a crime that I didn't have a shirt on? Would they have me arrested…nah, I helped Beastboy, they would have to repay the favor. "Uh, ok. Who has a shirt that I can borrow?" Robin said that it would probably be a good idea for me to get a pair of pants too, because the one's I had on were all bloody. I looked down, I never really thought about how much blood Beastboy was loosing, I was just thinking, 'Oh my gosh, let's get him somewhere before it gets infected'…Now that I think about it I think he could have died I if just left him… Whoa! I've never saved someone's life before; I've saved reputations but never lives. "Okay, then does any one have a shirt and/or pants that I can borrow?" still no response. "So the only thing you guys have in you drawers are your uniforms?"
"I really don't have to wear anything else." Cyborg said; he wasn't lying, trying to wear something over his mechanic-like body would just make him look like an idiot.
"You wouldn't want to wear anything in his room." Raven said, pointing with her thumb to Beastboy. "It probably hasn't been washed in years." I laughed.
"What about you, Raven? Do you have anything she can wear?" Robin asked.
"She can try it on but, I don't' think it's gonna fit."
"Why am I too robust for your clothes?" I said playfully while she led me to her room.
"Actually I think it'll be too big for you."
…Starfire's POV…
I did not understand Leena's reason for remarking so vulgarly. It was like she had no self pride. I was worried about her I had heard many terrible things about girls that had lost esteem for themselves, things that I would not like to mention. She seemed alright on the out side, and I do believe that she was accepted by the other Titans, but I had a certain feeling toward her. I don't know why, maybe it was because Robin always seemed to smile when he saw her – although I do not think that as one of his motives to smile when we came back from the battle, because that was because she was in just her bra, pants and shoes. But nevertheless, her shirt went to good use, so it did not bother me… much.
…Cyborg's POV…
MAN! Leena looks good shirtless…wait…what?
…Robin's POV…
I didn't know what to say. That's why I was silent until I was confronted. She…well…ok, I'll say it, but I won't mean it like that…she looked good. Her mocha colored skin looked good next to the black sports bra she had on. But her jeans were all bloody and that just messed up the outfit…but then again, the bra wasn't really part of the outfit, the outer outfit anyway. Raven took her to her room to see if her shirt fitted her; I secretly hoped it would be because I was starting to feel a bit weird standing in a room with a girl with no shirt on. But then again, I walk around a tower, standing next to girls who were clothes way tighter than Leena's…so, why I was feeling that way when she's around and not when Starfire or Raven was? Cyborg's eyes looked like they were about to pop outta his head – even the mechanical one – I don't think he noticed till if said something. I smirked. Starfire just looked dazed, not really because of Leena, but I think because she was thinking. Beastboy was…well, pretty much doing one of the things he does well, sleep; I thought he was going to be alright; it looked like Lee did a good job with him head. I prayed he wouldn't have amnesia or something.
It was about 3 or 5 minutes later when Raven and Lee cam back. No progress. But Raven's mouth was hanging open, and that was a sign that something happened. She was muttering something over and over, but I didn't hear it till she was closer to the door. 'I can't believe it. She's bigger than me.' I nearly choked.
"So…anyone else? Star?" Cyborg asked.
"All I have backup of my uniform. She could-" Starfire started but I stopped her.
"I think one person running around in a mini-skirt in enough."
"Then what am I suppose to wear. Unless you don't mind me walking around like this, I have nothing." Lee said.
I thought. "Yea, but I do…"
I led her to my room, and I don't let a lot of people in my room so this was a special occasion. "Sit there, I'll right back." I don't know why I told her to sit, she was all bloody; it was probably the gentleman in me, but it didn't matter because she didn't sit down anyway.
"I don't think so. Your room is so clean I don't want to mess it up in any way…well, almost clean." She said. I knew she was looking at my desk, I just didn't know how intently – until she spoke about it. "Red X, huh? Haven't heard of him."
"Really? He's doesn't lie that low does he? Who else hasn't heard of him?"
"Lot's of people I know. I don't live in this part Jump City you know. I live in the east. That's why I know the Titans East better than you guys." She said, I was surprised but yet still not surprised, the Titans East were pretty social.
"Why didn't you to go to them for your article?"
"Because everyone, where I'm from, knows them. And plus you guys are more popular than them."
"True." I said coming from out my closet with my clothes in my hands. "This is all I got" – I held up a vest and my fave baggy sweats – "I was gonna save these pants for the next time we when out…me and the Titans that is." I added, had to add that so she didn't get the wrong idea.
"Yeah, I didn't think of it any other way." She said sincerely taking the clothes from me. I didn't know how she did it, she made it seem like no big deal that she was about to put on my clothes – which was no big deal, because I wasn't up for hearing some girl scream because she was going to wear her fave hottie's clothes – maybe she didn't consider me a 'hottie' – and I was fine with that! – it was different, but still good at the same time…it's hard to explain.
"Uh, am I changing in here or…" she said, I guessed telling me to leave.
"This is my room." I remarked, how dare she…
"Yeah, I know but where's your bath room?" I felt two inches tall.
"Right there." I said pointing to my private bathroom. "Don't touch anything!" I commanded; I didn't like things being out of order, especially in my bathroom.
"Yeah, yeah." She sighed closing the door. That girl was something. I sat to my desk and looked at my profile of Red X, I didn't know much about him but it wasn't really knowledge that I was after at that moment, I just wanted to take the dude down, I could get the information from him after. Maybe Lee could help…after all she did help Cyborg ((they talked about it on the way back to the tower))…but I'm sure she knew something about Cinderblock in order to help. I sighed. She was in there for just a few minutes, which it shorter than I thought it would take. "That was fast." I said. She just shrugged, and sat on my bed, I didn't care, as long as she wasn't bloody. "Hey, you think you can help me?"
"With what?" she asked.
"Uh, my profile, well, not really the profile but…Cyborg told me that you helped him find Cinderblock's weakness."
"Yeah, I guess I did. But I just told him my opinion, it wasn't facts or anything."
"Yes, but your opinion might be useful."
"OK, I'll help. But at least let me read the information you have on him." she said putting her hand out for the profile. I gave it to her.
She skimmed though it, sometimes going over certain parts, I could tell from her eyes. "Your creation, huh?"
"Yeah."
"He seems…hmm, how should I put this… It seems to me that he steals more because he's good at it than anything else. He must love the thrill, and who wouldn't? That's something to brag about, 'I can take on the Titans!' Don't you think so?"
"I guess…"
"Now for this teleporting thing… It seems that it a sort of machine that teleports him, so… have you guys ever consider making a machine that can block the sort of wave patterns used teleport him? Or one thing that you can try to do is instead of making the machine just stop him from teleporting, why don't you rig it so it'll make him freeze instead of disappear?"
"That…is the most genius plan I have heard in my life. Are you a genius?"
"I'm not certified."
"Doesn't matter." But then I thought. "Aww, man, we'll need the belt to do that."
"Just have another made, it was your uniform first right?"
"Right…you are a genius!" I was so happy, I could have kissed her…but my conscience reminded me of Starfire…though I wish it didn't.
…Cyborg's POV…
Yeah, I know Leena and Robin were in there for a long time, but I just didn't think that Starfire should have been so worried. I mean, what could they be doing in there? I'm sure nothing inappropriate for people that just met…I was sure they weren't doing any of that, but Starfire didn't seem too convinced. Matter of fact she wasn't even half calm, until Robin and Leena ran out of Robin's room; Robin shouting that 'he's got it'.
"What chu got, what chu got? A paper cut?" I asked, amusing my self.
"Well…that, and the answer to all of out prayers!" he said when Raven walked into the common room.
"You're building an extension to for my room?" she asked.
"No."
"Well, that's what I've been praying for." She said, going into the place that she meditates in that room.
"Ok, well, my prayers at least." He said then finally stopping to breathe. "Well, I thought about what you said, about Leena helping you figure out Cinderblock's weakness, and so I asked her for her opinion on Red X. And she came up with an idea to stop him."
"Really? How?" I wasn't really listening at first, but then I heard that last part and BOOM they had me.
"Yes, please tell us how you plan to defeat the X of Red." Starfire said zooming over to where we were.
"I gotta hear this." Raven said levitating over to us.
"You tell 'em." Robin told Leena.
"Well, after I analyzed Robin's profile of Red X, I came realize that he teleports by using a mechanism located in his belt…"
"Tell us something we don't know." Raven said.
"…let me finish, please. Anyway, that mechanism is, basically, generated by certain wave patterns that allow him to disappear and reappear in a different area, or, simply, teleport. If you guys can create a machine that can alter those wave patterns in a way that instead of teleporting him it freezes him in place then you'll be able to stop him."
At first we all were silent, I knew that Leena and Robin were wetting their pants – well Robin's pants – (that was a kid.). Starfire was the first to speak.
"That is a glorious idea, Leena! Is that what you two to doing in Robin's room all that time? Talking?" Starfire asked, still stuck on that.
"Yeah, that it." Robin said.
…Raven's POV…
It was actually a good idea. So little lady was actually helping. If it wasn't for her, more of might have been hurt by Cinderblock, and Beastboy could have died. Even though I somewhat hated the little changeling, I couldn't help but cringe at the thought of him not being around. I wondered if he was up yet. I didn't know why, I just did. For some reason my body took over and had my vocal cords say. "I'm gonna go see if Beastboy is alright." I really don't know what possessed me to do it. I don't even like the guy.
It turned out that Beastboy was half awake, he was leaning on his elbows in a position that was slightly working his unapparent abdominal muscles – or abs for the uneducated. He was looking around when he noticed me at the door.
"Hey, Rae." He said, I knew he was in pain because his voice was weak. I had to comment on this.
"Lie down, Beastboy. Gosh, you're hurting your self."
"Raven…I have a question…"
"What?"
"I thought I was dead and then all… of a sudden I'm here. I thought for a second that heaven was a pretty crummy place…"
"Very funny, but I take it that wasn't your question." Raven actually wanted to laugh, but she didn't.
"Yeah…did you save me…?"
"No, Leena did. She was taking pictures of the battle when she saw you knocked to the side. None of us even notice that you were gone…sorry."
"It's alright…I understand…do you think you could get her for me?"
"No problem." I said leaving. He was messed up, but at least he remembered who he was; I was alittle afraid that he wouldn't. Getting Leena was no big deal, and I didn't mind because I wanted to get back to my meditating anyway.
…Beastboy's POV…
I didn't know why Raven went in there, I guess she was worried. But I didn't know why. But then again I didn't know a lot at the moment, but I knew I had to thank Leena/Nani for what she did. I really could have been dead, and I really wasn't ready to die; and I sure as heck wasn't ready to leave before…well…let's not go there…
Raven didn't come back with her, but I didn't mind. I was kinda happy that she didn't. More time with Nani…
…Leena's POV…
He looked even cuter when he was hurt!
…Back to Beastboy's POV…
She looked different…it was her clothes. They were…boyish, I guess you could say. I thought she looked pretty cute, she had on baggy blue jeans that had, what looked like, paint splashes of different colors on them, I smirked on the inside because of this, and she wore a white vest over her top. She looked pretty hot. "Nice clothes." I said.
"You shouldn't force yourself to speak, B. You might give your self a migraine!" Nani said running to me. Man, do I love it when chicks take care of me!
"I'm alright, Nani. I'm alright." Man! I called her Nani! It was my secret nickname, I didn't even want her to know 'bout it yet!
"Didn't you just call me Nani?" she asked. I knew I blushed. "Say no more. I understand…" she shrugged one shoulder. "…I kinda like it." I smiled to that. She liked my nickname…
She smiled, and all of a sudden my head didn't matter, all that mattered was keeping that smiled on her face. But it faded soon after. "What did you want to tell me?" she asked. That snapped be back.
"Oh…I wanted to thank you…for…for saving me…"
"I didn't save you…did I?" she said.
"Yeah, I would have died. I just know it."
"You seem pretty ok with it." she put her hands on her hips.
I mentally shrugged, I'm not sure if I actually did. "You saved me remember? I'm gonna live." She smirked.
"Well, I guess you better reward me huh?"
"Maybe later…right now…my muscles ache…" I said cringing when I tried to sit up.
"Don't try to get up."
"I have to do something. My muscled ache like hell!" I strained those words out, I could barely speak anymore.
"Shhh, don't talk. You'll just hurt your self; and as for your muscles, I'll massage them for you ok?" I just nodded, although even that hurt. She started with my hands, now that was heaven! I would have closed my eyes sooner if I wasn't so interested in the look on her face. She was serious about making sure I felt good, I didn't mind at all. As I said before, man, I love it when chicks take care of me! And who can blame me! Okay, back to the rub down…it felt so good, I didn't want her to stop, even when I felt alright. she started with my fingers, then she went to my hand, then she went to my arm then she worked across my neck, then she went down my other arm. I remember ever blumen inch of it! But when she reached my chest she got a little nervous, I could tell, even with my eyes closed, because it could feel it, she even when as far as to stop.
"I can't do this." She said, I had popped open my eyes as soon as she stopped.
"Why?"
"Because…I…" she didn't finish, but I wish she did, because I couldn't understand why she stopped. But then she ran out, was it something I did?
I just laid still, my lower muscles still ached but my arms were in heaven; why did she stop? A few moments later, Cyborg walked in and asked me if I was alright. I didn't know what else to do, so I told him what happened with Nani – of course I used Leena for her name and not Nani – he just smiled when I finished. I didn't know why he was smiling; it was bad that she ran out… right?
Cyborg chuckled. "Depends on the way you look at it. Yeah, it's terrible that she stopped the massage, but then again the supposed reason ain't all that bad." I still didn't understand.
Cyborg sighed. He leaned forward and whispered something in my ear. My eyes stayed wide, even when Cyborg sat back down in his chair. "You think so?" I asked.
"Either that or your nonexistent muscles are just plain hard to massage." Cyborg sat back and thought. "Man, do I miss massages! The coach used to treat us to one after a good game. Those people, that the coach sent us to, gave an awesome massage! And I mean awesome! I felt alittle bit more of heaven each time. Mmmmm."
"They were that good?" I asked. He nodded. Maybe I should go there?
…Cyborg's POV…
I didn't know what was going on in that kid's head but what ever it was…well…lets' not go there…Beastboy's encounter with Leena was quite interesting to me. Especially since something was going on in Robin's head too, I knew it; from the moment he told us to 'shut up, and listen contently' he rarely acts that way, especially about someone who just walked into our house, but then I let it slide…but after that…I was on him like a horse; although he may not have any commitments to Starfire, I'm all for Leena and BB, if Robin messed it up, unless she was into him, I was gonna get alittle mad – pissed even.
But it didn't' matter, for now, because as far as I could tell Leena liked Beastboy and Beastboy felt the same… 'I feel like I'm in a cheesy heroic love story. I think I'm gonna be sick…' I thought, then chuckled. I opened my eyes and Beastboy was asleep… figures. I stood up and walked out – the only reason I went in there was to keep him company, and now his dreams were doing that.
…Back to Leena's POV… ((I've been avoiding her POV for some reason…I truly don't know why))
I ran because I simply couldn't take the pressure. I didn't' mind massaging Beastboy, no way, I was actually enjoying it, but I jut couldn't take the pressure… (of course he wasn't putting any pressure on me, I was the one messing with stress) I had morals, morals that I intended to keep. It's completely natural for me to feel the was that I am about touching the opposite gender ((he he)), and if I didn't feel that way by at least 15-17 then something might be wrong with me ((I said at least)).
I wanted to explain, but I couldn't bring my self to do it. So I ran, I don't like to run from my problems but I ran anyway. When I was running I was so blinded by my embarrassment that I didn't see the person in front of me. It was Robin…and I ran right into him; falling on top of him, I just could keep it in anymore. I broke out in tears, I knew Robin was confused, but I wasn't worried about him…that much…his body was warm, and that was comforting… 'wait…what are you thinking…what if Starfire was to come and see you like this…she'll beat the crap outta ya!' I picked my self up off of Robin as fast as I could, I didn't want to waste anytime; if Starfire was too come, she would never know.
…Robin's POV…
What was that! That was all I could think…well, that and other unmentionables. But I was a bit confused, I dusted my self off and walked to my room to think.
…Starfire's POV…
I had just waken up from a dream when I saw it. That sad/mad scene. I was about to walk out my door of my bedroom when I saw Leena run into Robin and knock him down. I wanted to run out and help him, but something told me stay and watch. Leena just started crying, I wanted to sympathize upon her, but then I remember that she was still not off Robin nor was she apologizing, she was jut crying right into his neck. I fumed when he rubbed her back, I knew he was just being a good person by comforting her in her needing time, but that didn't stop me from being angry. Leena picked her self up but I was still angry at her; then my looks when to Robin, who accepted all of this… of course he did, he was a gentleman, and it was unmanly to shout at a woman just because she was blinded for some reason. I knew that it would one day lead to a tremendous fall. I retreated back into my room, to plot my glorious revenge. Glorious, glorious revenge. Tremendously massive, beautifully lovely, terribly 'awesome', gloriously glorious revenge…okay…may be I have carried my self away too far…
There you have it, Chapter Two , to my new story. And incase you haven't noticed yet, I don't think I'm gonna make it a one-shot. Ya even though I have no reviews I'm gonna continue one with my story anyway, because I love it, and it's one of my best – This one and Slade's Children, if you haven't read it and reviewed, please do so, I'm curious to know what people think about it. Well, I'm praying that people review…sometimes I forget to do that, he he.
