Chapter 7: Girl Talk

"How could I have been so stupid!" growled Raven, pacing around her room. "I let my guard down and he got away."

She stopped, feeling her anger slipping out of her control. She took a deep breath and flopped onto her bed. Burying her face in her pillow she sighed.

She knew she shouldn't blame herself, but she felt strangely responsible. If she had ignored the villain's taunting, she would have remembered to watch him while she called the police. But the taunting had gotten to her and she had just wanted to ignore him.

Raven lifted her head as someone knocked softly on the door.

"Friend Raven? You are in your sleeping quarters, yes?" Starfire's sweet voice drifted into the room.

Raven stood up and walked to the door. She opened it a crack and peered out at Star.

"Yes?"

Starfire looked at her dark friend in concern.

"You have seemed most upset since the escape of our foe, and you went into your room as soon as we returned home. You did not even come out for dinner," the alien said in distress.

"I'm fine, Starfire. Just a bit angry that he got away." Raven answered truthfully.

Starfire nodded thoughtfully. Now that she was convinced that her friend was fine, her concern turned to joy.

"Friend, would you come to my room? I wish to engage in the 'girl talk'," said Starfire hopefully, smiling.

Raven sighed.

"Sure, Starfire. We'll go to your room," said Raven reluctantly. She stepped out of her room, and followed Starfire who floated happily down the hall towards her own room.

They reached it quickly, and Raven forced herself not to cringe at the excessively pink room. She had to admit though; the room was a much better place for girl talk. Cute stuffed animals, a large and inviting closet, and the bright colors made it much more fitting for talking about things like boys and shopping.

Raven walked towards the large, round bed and sat down. The soft mattress was comfortable. Starfire sat down next to her and crossed her legs. They sat in a comfortable silence before Raven spoke.

"So… you said you wanted to talk?"

"Yes," replied the Tameranian. "I wished to ask you why you were sleeping with Beast Boy on his bed earlier this afternoon?"

Raven could feel a blush creeping over her cheeks and pulled her hood over her head.

"I'm not sure. I guess I just felt too tired to return to my room," replied Raven, looking at the purple sheets.

"You looked quite peaceful lying in Beast Boy's arms," said Starfire, smiling knowingly.

Raven looked around, careful not to look at her smiling friend, and didn't reply. She thought back to when she had woken up from the alarm and found herself tangled up with Beast Boy. The two had blushed and said nothing. Instead they had just looked away from each other and left the room. Although she didn't want to admit it to herself, Raven knew she had been quite comfortable.

"I would like to thank you. For sleeping next to Beast Boy," Starfire continued. Raven looked up at her questioningly.

"I believe seeing the two of you looking so happy together is what convince Robin to express his feelings of love."

By now, Starfire was no longer sitting on the bed, but floating happily above it with a dreamy look plastered on her face. Raven smiled a bit.

"He told you he loves you?" it was more of a statement than a question, but Starfire answered anyway.

"Yes, he did! He said that he loved me more than he thought possible and then he gave me a kiss!" Starfire answered, giggling happily.

Slowly getting the hang of 'girl talk', Raven smiled and asked,

"So, how was it?"

"Oh, it was most glorious!" answered Star, flying loops around the room, "My legs felt like the substance of jelly, and I had the 'flies of butter' in my digestive system."

"Butterflies in your stomach," Raven corrected absent-mindedly. "So he was good at it?"

"Undoubtedly!" she giggled "When he first pressed his lips against mine, it was soft and the… flies of- the butterflies fluttered and I felt as though I was floating!"

Raven smiled, knowing that she probably had been. The princess continued.

"Then after a while, his lips pressed harder and I could feel my cardiac organ pumping through my vlorkask!" she squealed, jumping on the bed. Raven laughed lightly at her friend's antics.

"Have you ever received a kiss from a boy?" asked Starfire, bouncing up and down.

"No," answered Raven truthfully.

"You must! It is the most wonderous feeling!" Starfire told her, smiling widely.

"I'm sure it's even better when you kiss someone you love, like you and Robin did," said Raven thoughtfully.

"It is quite probable. Perhaps you would receive the same feelings as I have right now, if you kissed friend Beast Boy," suggested Starfire happily.

Raven blushed more and was thankful for her hood. She would never admit to anyone that she had been wondering the same thing.

"So, are you and Robin going to go on a date then?" asked Raven, changing the subject back to Robin and Starfire.

Starfire stopped jumping momentarily and looked at Raven questioningly.

"What does a dried fruit have to do with Robin and myself?" she asked innocently.

"Sometimes couples like to spend time with each other by going to places together, like the movies or dinner." Explained Raven, choosing her words carefully.

Starfire nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, I believe I have seen this earthly courting ritual before."

"I'm sure you have," agreed Raven.

"I think I shall ask Robin to accompany me on a 'date'," she exclaimed happily.

Before they could continue their conversation, the room flashed red and a loud alarm sounded throughout the tower. The two girls ran out of the room and joined their friends in the living room.

"There's a robbery at the new science laboratory, and I'm guessing that it's our masked opponent again." Robin told them.

With no more words needed, they left the 'T' shaped building and headed towards the laboratory that had only been built a couple months ago.

Robin hopped on his R-Cycle and the others took the T-car. He wanted to feel the wind rush past him; it helped him concentrate before a fight.

As he drove, he tried to remember what they had been studying at the lab. The alarm had gone off in sector D-5, which was where they were studying REM. First the villain had stolen a battery, then an electric collar, and now he had broken into a place where they were studying sleep patterns and dreams. What was this guy up to?
