No school today, well for me at least. Ha ha. I'm home alone, so here's the early update! Well, besides my dog, Flitty, but she's another story, for another day.
Phantom Moon: Yeah, neither do I, hint this chapter. Eh, you'll see! Thanks for the review.
Delirium24: Heh, thanks. Ha ha. Robin/Raven fan, huh? You're not alone, trust me! Ha ha, thanks, and enjoy this chapter. Not really Raven/Robin focused though, sorry!
Kirara-so-cute: Okay, okay, I'll try. Don't expect much talking though, cause I'm still trying to master that. Yeah, I read it, it was funny! Update soon, kay?
Fallen Angel561: . . . ha ha.
Gilraen Luinwe: Yeah, I thought you'd like that. I don't know why, I guess I just like the dog form the best. Not really a cat person, he's already a bird, powers or no powers, and can you imagine a polar bear walking around the tower? Plus I like it when he and Raven have those moments, puppy moments as you called them, so you asked and I delivered. Next time be more specific! Just kidding:p.
xcloudx: Well, he was hurt, so heal, be mad at him later, or something like that. Don't feel bad if you didn't get that, cause I didn't even get it. Ha ha.
Kakiya: Don't worry, I don't do a lot of things because of laziness, so you're not the only one affected by it! Yeah, and I whole-heartedly agree with you, they were meant for each other. Why would they have those names? If Robin and Starfire were meant for each other, they'd have similar names, but they don't, so that's good. Ha ha. Thanks for the review. You can review for this chapter too, or are you too lazy? Just kidding:p.
Without further ado, I have to get a new punch line thinging.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
A week passed, with Robin still in the tower. His friends hadn't confronted yet, but he wasn't looking forward to it. He was the one who was supposed to interrogate, not them.
Most of his bruises and cuts had healed, and thanks to Raven, his arm was getting better everyday.
He now stayed in his room instead of the infirmary. Everything was in the place it had been in before he left it. Clothes were sprawled across the floor, accompanied by various crime files that he had been working on.
The holes in the walls were repaired, but still visible form the inside. Cyborg had been working overtime, and it was all for him. Robin felt like a king, who had servants wait on him hand and foot.
He fell on his unmade bed, staring up at the ceiling. He knew the Titans had fixed the control, and everything could return to normal. Still, he wasn't sure about giving up his powers.
Ever since he got them, he had grown attached. Handing them over without question just seemed wrong. A knock on the door disturbed his thoughts.
He got up and opened the door. Beast Boy and Cyborg stood in front of him, with their hands behind their backs. Each had a huge smile on their face. Starfire were behind them, with an equally wide grin.
"Robin, since you've been feeling better lately, we were thinking you could play a game of Stank Ball with us. It's uneven teams, and we need another player."
Beast Boy ceased to smile, and he crossed his arms. "Yeah, and Raven almost killed me when I asked her to play. She's been in one of those moods lately. I don't know what's going on."
Robin scratched the back of his head, trying to think of a nice way to say no. He was easily interrupted when Starfire made her way in front of the other boys.
"Please Friend Robin, engage in the tossing of the ball of stank."
Cy brought the ball from behind him. The smell made Robin's eyes water. He could see that a fresh layer of BB's dirty socks had been added. He pinched his nose, making sure the odor of the sweaty footwear had been sealed off from him.
"Yeah, sure. Just let me stuff cotton balls up my nose first."
The game began, Starfire and Robin vs. Cyborg and Beast Boy. They chased each other around the tower, trying to get out of range. The other team was coming at the masked leader.
He dodged into the main room, hoping to not get caught. He hid behind the couch, and evil grin on his face. The swish of the doors got his attention. He ducked lower, trying to be invisible.
"They'd never find you in here. You're feet are only sticking out from behind the sofa."
Raven's voice made him jump. He stood see she was sitting on the couch cushion, the remote in hand.
"Thanks for the idea. Why aren't you playing?"
"I don't do. . ."
"STANK BALL!"
She shot a glance at Robin, seeing the pile of moldy socks and underwear in his face. He peeled it from his skin, trying to recuperate from the blow. This ended the game, with BB and Cy as the winners.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Robin retreated to his room to wash his face. Not even soap made the smell fade. Another soft knock interrupted him. Raven was leaning against the doorframe, patiently waiting for him. He was drying his face with a towel, but she began to talk anyway.
"Something's up. Ever since you left the streets, more crimes have been occurring, and we have no way to stop them. The stench of evil is growing stronger, I can smell it."
"Oh, you mean this?"
Robin removed the cloth form his face, letting the remaining odor poison the air around. Raven covered her nose and coughed.
"Yeah, maybe that's it. Well, if evil is Beast Boy's socks, then that is definitely what I was talking about."
She gave a little chuckle and he joined in. She gestured for him to follow her. "Dinner's ready. You better come down before the 'Green Goblin" gobbles it all down. About the smell, you might want to try tomato juice."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
For they had spaghetti with meatballs, and ones made of tofu for Beast Boy. They each served themselves, and began eating. Robin stared down at his hands, which he had forgotten to clean. He got and washed them with soap, bubbles rising from the sink. It was then that the glowing began to start up.
Panicking, he jammed his hands into the pile of spaghetti that was sitting on the table. Everyone stared at him, noodles falling from their forks.
"Is there some reason why you're hands are in our dinner, Robin?" Cyborg calmly asked, trying to keep his cool. "If not, can you please take them out so we can at least try to have a civilized meal?"
He removed his hands, exposing the yellow and black orbs that were surrounding them. They gasped simultaneously, both of the girls recognizing their powers. He averted his gaze from the others, trying to ignore their shrieks.
Cyborg took him into the infirmary, after cleaning sauce off of his hands. "It looks like there's an inner war going on in you, between Raven and Starfire's powers. One of them will eventually win, and the other will return to its original owner. You should be fine."
The doors slid open and Beast Boy appeared, out of breath. "Raven, it's. . .Raven," he said in between breaths. "She fainted."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Not too big of a cliffie was it? Well, I have a history report due tomorrow, and I haven't even started on it, so this seemed like a good ending place. Ha ha. Hope you liked it.
