Chapter 2
Robin's Mask
He gave her a grin, "I'm so glad someone asked! My name is Zeke," he grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly as he bowed before her, "What is your name fare maiden?"
Starfire gave a giggle, "I am Starfire. These are my friends Robin, Cyborg, and Beastboy." Starfire pointed out for Zeke.
Robin, was glaring at Zeke from behind Cyborg and Beastboy as the three began to ask Zeke a million questions. Raven stood beside him and looked at the group in front of her, then at Robin. "You do know now they will invite him to stay with us."
Robin sighed, "Yeah. I don't think it's a good idea though..."
Raven gave a snort, "For starters, it may not, but he won't kill anyone. He'll just annoy us all to death." she looked back at the group, "Well, at least me to death." She notice the glare that Robin gave Zeke as he laughed with Starfire about something. "I don't think he is going to steal Starfire, he's a flirt, but not someone who would have a girlfriend."
Robin relaxed a bit, and looked over at Raven, "So should we head back now. The others should have forgotten about the party, so you should be safe."
Raven gave Robin a look that said yeah-right, and she pulled up her hood.
Robin taped Cyborg on the shoulder, once he got his attention, he told the group that they were heading back to the tower, and Zeke was coming with them. Zeke was surprised, but came along none the less. Robin took his cycle, while Cyborg, Beastboy, Raven, Zeke, and Starfire took the T-car.
-In the T-car-
While Cyborg drove through town, Beastboy had morphed into a dog and stuck his head out the window. "Yo, you better not get any slobber on my car!"
Beastboy morphed back to his human self, "Heh, sorry Cy."
"So this is a group of a bunch of crime fighting teenagers, called the Teen Titans."
"Correct, we fight crime daily to protect Jump City from evil-doers." Starfire replied. "For example, I am a Tameranian, I came to Earth for a world called Tameran, a far off world in another galaxy, where snorfglocs and ririogs are the treats of a lifetime, and everyone is happy!
"Right...what's a ririogs?" Zeke scratched his head, "On secound thought, maybe not. It sounds like it would be pink and slimy."
"Ririogs are most delicious! They are the shade of greondas and taste similer to a flanog!" Starfire said happily.
"Right..."
"What's a flanog?" Beastboy ask from the front seat.
Starfire then began telling Beastboy all the wonders of a flanog. Zeke quickly toned out that conversation as it was giving him a headache. /What the heck is she talking about? Flanog/ He looked over at Raven who was sitting to his right. She had her hood-up and was starring out the window, apparently toning out the conversation about flanogs as well. "So, what you been up too little Raven?"
"Don't call me that." She still looked out the window.
/Doesn't look like she's going to talk. Oh well, next best thing./ He reached his mind out and mentally poked Ravens. She didn't respond, so he poked her mind again, still no response. So he did it again, and again, and again, and again.
/poke, poke, poke, poke Anyone home/
After about a minute of this, she finally snapped back/What/
/Nothing. You wouldn't talk so I made you talk./ his voice smugly replied in Raven's head.
/I nearly forgot you were a telepath. Oh well, now I have another reason to hate you./
/Aw, is little Raven mad that I'm in her head/
/No, she's pissed./
/Why Raven, you swered! Your finally growing up into a young little Raven lady./
/Shut-up. What do you want/
/Nothing. Just wanted to ask how you've been/
/Aren't you a nice guy./ she replied sarcastically.
/Yep/ He smiled at her as he caught on to the last bit of Starfire's explanation.
"-and that is a flanog!" she said happily.
-Titans main living room-
"No."
"Please Raven! We promise that you'll like it!"
Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire were asking to go to the party again. Currently, Beastoy morphed into a kitten and was laying at her feet, giving her sad eyes. Cyborg, was knelling next to her on her right begging, and Starfire was hovering on her left, begging as well.
"Come on Rae, you know you wana!" Cyborg begged.
"No."
"Please friend Raven, you must partake in this outing! It promises to be a fun filled evening with friends!" Starfire said cheerfully.
"No." /Why won't they just leave if they want to go/ Ravened wined to herself.
/Because they want to spend time with you little Raven./
Raven cast a glare back at Zeke from his spot sitting on the couch. He was smirking a the scene before him, as he sat on his knees resting his head on the back of the couch with his arms under his chin, a it's-no-use-your-gana-cave smirk on his face. Raven looked back to her begging friends faces that were in front of her and sighed. "I'll go if you promises to never degrade yourselves again for something as stupid as this."
"YES!" Cyborg and Beastboy shouted together.
"Glorious! We will have so much fun!" Starfire shouted as she hugged Raven.
Raven glared at her but the Tameranian let go after a second and left to retrieve Robin. He was currently fixing a room for Zeke. The only reason he was doing it alone was because the others were begging Raven. She glared at Zeke as he was laughed behind her.
"I knew you would cave!"
"Are you psychic too, I just thought you were annoying." she replied dryly.
"Don't hate me because I know you." he said with a grin.
"No, I think I will."
Zeke put a hand on his chest over his heart as he fell backwards off the couch, "Ow, that hurt, my heart is broken! And I thought you were nice little Raven."
"Stop calling me that." Raven mumbled as she walked over to the kitchen area to get a quick drink before they left.
"But what else would I call you except little Raven" he said grinning as he joined Cyborg and Beastboy in their celebration.
/I could of killed him. I should of killed him. Why didn't I kill him/ Raven felt a huge headache coming on as she rubbed her temple. /Of all the people to meet! Why him/ Raven poured herself a cup of cold water and downed it as she countinued thinking/And what's he doing here? Why were those pods chasing him? What happened/ She turned around and leaned on the counter, crossing her arms over her chest as she watched Cyborg and Beastboy talk happily with Zeke. /I'm going to get answers, but I'll have to do it tomorrow./
"Dude your gana love this party! There is going to be lots of music and dancing. Don't worry, I'll show you the ropes to getting the ladies!" Beastboy said in a attempted voice at being mandly, puffing out his chess, key words, attempted.
"Dude, the only ladies you get are the kind that bark and walk on four legs!" Cyborg laughed.
Beastboys chest deflated as he was shot down, "Dude! That's so not true!"
Cyborg grinned, "Oh yeah, how many girls have you gone out with?"
"Um, well, a lot!" Beastboy shouted.
Cyborg stared at him with that smug grin still on his face.
"Okay, a few, but they were really cute!" Beastboy shouted again.
Cyborg still grinned, "Sherr, and Robin's going to take off his mask tonight."
"Does he ever take off his mask?" Zeke ask raising a eyebrow.
"Um," Cyborg looked thoughtful for a moment, "Nope, not that I know of."
Zeke looked thoughtful as he spoke, "But, he has to take it off sooner or later. Wouldn't it start to stink and get crusty after a while?"
Beastboy scratched his head, "Your right, but we never seen him take it off. It's like a part of his face or something."
The three boys looked thoughtful as they imagined what would happen if Robin took off his mask. Then they all burst out laughing. By the time Robin and Starfire came into the room, Beastboy was rolling on the floor with laughter, Cyborg was holding his sides laughing very hard, and Zeke was leaning against a wall with one arms wrapped around his sides. All with tear running down their faces.
"Uh, what's so funny?" Robin asked as he watched the three.
They stopped laughing abruptly and looked at him, then burst out laughing again.
Robin looked confused by this and looked at Raven, "Mine explaining what's so funny?"
Raven removed her eyes from the scene before her and turned them to Robin, "You."
"Me?" Robin looked shocked as he pointed to himself.
"What is so funny about friend Robin?" Starfire replied as she hovered over to Raven.
Raven's lip twitched in a attempt to smile, but she forced herself to remain emotionless, "They are imagining what would happen if he took off your mask."
Robin still looked confused, "How's that funny?"
Raven didn't reply as her attention was drawn back to the three guys. Their laughter was dieing down, and Beastboy replied to Robin's question as soon as he could breathe, "I bet that when you take it off, your eyes will be nothing but holes in your head!" He empathized his statement by stretching his eyes open wider with his hands.
"Nah, I think that when he tries to take it off it will be stuck, then he'll have to pull and pull until it does come off, then it's gana take part of his face with it!" Cyborg cheered.
Zeke just laughed at the two as he listened to their ideas. Robin mocked glared at the two but gave a small smile, hey, it was funny to hear their explanations. Starfire looked hopelessly confused for she didn't understand what would be so funny if he took off his mask, and Raven was trying hard not to smile, let alone laugh. But a small chuckle escaped her lips. Robin glanced at her and she bit her lip trying hard not to laugh.
"Alright, let's just go to the party already." Robin mumbled as he scratched the back of his head and headed to the door that lead to the entrance. Starfire hovered after him still looking confused.
"I saw that." Raven turned around and saw Zeke standing behind her and he was smirking.
She shot him a glare, "I don't know what your talking about."
He just shrugged and put his hands behind his head and walked past her too the door, "Sherr you don't."
Raven glared at his back as he walked out of the room, and sighed when he was gone/It's going to be a long night./ Raven then noticed that she was alone and looked around/Maybe they will just go without me./
Beastboy ran back into the room and shouted at Raven, "Come on Raven, let's go!"
She sighed and walked over to the door and followed Beastboy to the other/Guess not./
