Dude, it's Just a Picture

Cyborg walked to the mail slot and picked up the pile of letters that had gathered there. Flipping through the letters quickly, he scanned for any key words or phrases with his robotic eye.

"Bills, bills, junk mail…"

Cyborg stopped as he reached a postcard. His human eye widened in shock, and Cyborg shook his head, making sure what was on the postcard was actually there. He slowly turned it over to read what was written on the other side. Quickly speed reading the words eloquently written there, a grin slowly grew on his face.

"And now to show Beast Boy…"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Said changeling was cooking himself some tofu pancakes, though he wasn't sure how legitimate they were. Cyborg had just given him a box that said 'Tofu Pancake Mix' on the front, and Beast Boy had just assumed that Cyborg was finally beginning to just leave tofu be. But now that he thought about it, that just didn't sound like Cyborg.

"Pssst! Hey, BB!"

Beast Boy turned to see Cyborg conspiratorially stood in the doorway.

"Hey, dude, are these really tofu panc-"

"Shut up and get over here!" he hissed, a smile threatening to break out over his face. Beast Boy turned off the… the… well, Beast Boy just called it the cooking thing. He wasn't sure if it was an oven, or what. What's the technical term for a frying thing that wasn't a pan, anyway? Beast Boy was shook from his musings by Cyborg, who quickly grabbed him and pulled him through the corridor and into a closet. Cyborg turned on the light in the closet, the light bulb tapping against the metal side of his head.

"Dude! What the-"

Cyborg put a finger to his lips, then handed the postcard over to Beast Boy. The green teenager's jaw immediately fell, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked at the picture on the postcard. He looked up at Cyborg with an eyebrow raised, as if to question the authenticity, and Cyborg smugly nodded with a grin.

"Read the back," he said, pointing to the postcard.

Beast Boy turned it over and read it. "Oh, so this is from-?"

"Yep."

"And it's only just-?"

"Yep."

"Does Raven-?"

"Nope."

"Does Starfire-?"

"Nope," Cyborg said, his voice becoming more and more stifled with snickering.

Beast Boy's eyes widened in excitement. "Does Robin?" he said, his voice barely a whisper as a grin spread across his face.

Cyborg laughed. "Nope," he said quietly and threateningly, before laughing once again. They both stood giggling like schoolgirls in the closet before Beast Boy put his hand up.

"Cyborg. It is our responsibility to make sure Robin sees this in front of Starfire. It is also our responsibility to make sure that Raven never hears the end of this. Agreed?"

Cyborg grinned. "Agreed," he said, giving his friend a high five. They exited the closet, grinning like madmen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Robin?"

The Boy Wonder pressed the pause button on the controller, freezing the two fighters where they stood. He turned to look at his Tamaranian friend, who was sat at the dinner table.

"Yes, Starfire?"

"How does one solve a 'crossword puzzle'?" she asked, pointing at the newspaper that was laid out on the table in front of her. Robin smiled and walked over to Gamestation, switching it off. He made his way over to the puzzled Starfire.

"Your first one?"

"Well… you are always the one to introduce me to such things, so…"

"I should know," Robin said, grinning. He sat down next to Starfire and looked over at the crossword. "Well, first of all, you need a-"

Starfire produced a pen from seemingly nowhere.

"-pen," Robin finished, smiling. He looked at the puzzle. "Okay, well, first of all, you need to look at the number of the column or row you want to fill in."

"Is it then a colouring exercise?"

"Ah, no. It's more like a-"

Beast Boy and Cyborg slowly walked through the doors leading into the common room, sly grins on both of their faces. They looked at Robin and Starfire, and the evil looks on their faces filled Robin with a sudden sense of dread.

"Ah, Robin. Starfire. Just the couple we were looking for," Cyborg said, and Beast Boy held back his snicker.

Robin's face reddened slightly, and he struggled to keep his voice even as he avoided Starfire's gaze. He wondered what Starfire's expression was like, but banished the thought from his mind.

"What do you guys want?" Robin said irritably.

Cyborg put his hands up in mock surrender. "Hey, no need to be angry. Trust me; you'll like what we've got to show you."

"Yeah, dude. You'll like it," Beast Boy added, his voice distorted by snickers.

Robin scowled. "Well? What is it?"

Cyborg raised a finger. "One moment, please. Before I show you this… gift, I would like to take you back to about a month ago. Starfire and Raven decided that they would like a break from us three fellas. So, they went away on a little trip for a few days. You may recall that when Starfire got back, she said that she had sent a postcard. We guessed that it had gotten lost in the mail. This, however, was not the case. It arrived today."

Starfire clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh! This is most wonderful news! May we see the postcard, Cyborg?"

Cyborg smiled courteously, bowing exaggeratingly as he handed over the postcard. "Enjoy, Robin," he said, winking at his leader.

Robin frowned, cautiously taking the postcard. He read the words written on the back and smiled. "Hey, Star. Your writing's really gotten good."

Starfire smiled proudly, and Beast Boy groaned. "Dude! Look at the picture!"

Robin raised an eyebrow and turned over the postcard. He froze. On it was a picture of Starfire and Raven at the beach. Starfire was wearing… very little, and was stood in a provocative position, waving at the camera.

Cyborg waved a hand in front of Robin's face. "Robin?"

Robin said nothing, frozen.

Starfire cocked her head slightly at the Boy Wonder. "Robin? Are you all right? Are you unwell?"

Robin said nothing.

"Dude? Dude, it's just a picture. Come back to us," Beast Boy said, snapping his fingers in front of Robin's face.

Robin said nothing.

The doors opened, and Raven stepped through. Seeing the Titans gathered around the table, a curious eyebrow rose, and she floated over to them.

"What are you all-?"

Raven stopped talking as she saw the picture. "I thought that got lost in the mail," she growled.

Starfire grinned. "It arrived today, Raven! Is it not wonderful?"

Robin said nothing.

"Yeah. Wonderful," she said, glaring at Cyborg and Beast Boy. The partners in crime grinned.

"I never knew you had such a fun time at the beach, Raven," Beast Boy said, snickering as he did so.

Robin said nothing.

Raven looked at the picture. She didn't respond to strong sun well. And she hadn't wanted to go on that little 'beach break' with Starfire in the first place. She had made some offhand comment about getting away from the rampant testosterone that bounced off the walls in the tower. Of course, her Tamaranian friend had taken that as an invitation to drag her on a little 'vacation'. And so, that was why Raven wasn't particularly happy in the picture. Armed with an umbrella and a scowl, Raven was sat behind Starfire, glaring threateningly at the camera.

Robin said nothing.

She looked over at the laughing friends and used her black magic to turn them upside down, letting them fall painfully to the floor.

"OW! Jeez, Raven, we were just kidding!" Beast Boy said, rubbing his head as he sat on the floor.

"Yeah girl. Calm down. It's not like we showed it to Titans East or anything…" Cyborg added, an evil grin spreading across his face. "Wait, maybe we did…"

Robin said nothing.

Raven's face darkened. "Just remember that I'm going to remember this. And when the time is right… I will get payback."

And with that, she left the room. Cyborg and Beast Boy paused for a moment, looking at each other. Then they burst out laughing. There was no doubt in their minds that Raven was being genuine, but right now they didn't care.

Robin still said nothing.

"What is wrong, Robin? Do you not approve of the picture? Do you wish for me to get rid of it?" Starfire asked her still shell shocked leader. She reached for the postcard, but Robin quickly removed it from her reach.

"NO!" he said suddenly, and Starfire brought her hand back quickly in surprise. Robin cleared his throat. "Uh, no, Starfire… it's, uh… very nice. I like it… a lot," he said, again looking at the picture. "I just, uh… haven't seen you… uh… like that before. It's…uh… nice," he said, blushing furiously.

Starfire smiled and averted her eyes slightly. "I… see," Starfire said quietly, laughing nervously.

Beast Boy and Cyborg's laughter faded, and the changeling scowled. "Dude, this isn't as funny as I thought it'd be. They're turning it into a good thing!"

Cyborg smiled and winked at his friend. He stood and raised a finger, as though bringing up a point. "Just one question, Starfire. Who'd you get to take the picture?"

Starfire's face reddened, and Robin's face slowly became a scowl.

And Cyborg and Beast Boy laughed.

"Don't take it so serious, dude. It's just a picture."

(A/N: Deviant art's great, ain't it? I've found so many little drabble ideas from those pictures I don't know where to start.

www.deviantart. com/ deviation/ 17012033/ - that's the photo the guys are looking at in this fic. I just saw that picture and thought that Robin's reaction would be great. Don't forget to remove the spaces before you copy and paste it.

Nothing Christmassy about this one, so apologies for that. That picture just inspired me too much. So many RobStar fics in those deviant art pictures, it's crazy…

And I will someday get around to showing Raven's payback. It's only fair, after all.

And 'Revved Up' rocks on so many levels. That episode is a perfect example of what a Teen Titans episode should be.

Anyway, review.)
