New Images and Knock Out Gas

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Robin looked around nervously as Alyssa and Emily came at him with bloodthirsty looks…

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Starfire hurriedly flew through the living room. She had to get away from her crazy assistant. Mike had been continuously hitting on her ever since Bird Boy time was over. Star had been discouraging him from the start, but Mike seemed to become more determined the more she explained that she wasn't interested.

Starfire flew through random hallways, not really caring where she was going, as long as Mike wasn't there. She passed by Raven's room. Beast Boy's. Cyborg's. Rob…

Starfire stopped. She doubted that Mike would think to look in Robin's room. But Robin didn't usually allow her in there…

"Sweetheart!" Star heard the distant sound of Mike's voice, "Come out, come out, where ever you are!"

Robin would make an exception just this once wouldn't he?

"Sweetheart!"

He would have to.

Starfire slid Robin's door open and quietly flew inside.

Robin's room was as she remembered it, though she had only actually been inside once. It was spotless, his bed was pushed against the off-white wall. A wooden desk was perpendicular to it. His closet was on the wall opposite of the bed.

Needles to say, Starfire felt that if she so much as touched her feet to the ground, she would soil his immaculate room.

She slowly flew over to his desk. Her hand found its way to the knob on one of the drawers. She stopped herself before she pulled on it.

Robin would not appreciate her rummaging through his stuff. But she was just so curious…

Before Starfire knew what had happened, the drawer was open and she was carefully setting the steel box that was in it on the top of the desk. She opened it gently…

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Raven angrily slid her door shut and stomped into her room. Emily and Alyssa had no right to call her ugly! Why would anyone be that rude and inconsiderate!

One of her statues shattered.

Raven took a deep breath. She needed to meditate.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Inside the steel box, Starfire found…the cracked mask of Slade. She sighed in a disappointed way. She should have known. What was she expecting, anyway? A shrine dedicated to her?

Holy X'hal.

She had been expecting that.

Why on Tameran would she ever…?

"Ahh! Don't touch that!"

Starfire heard Robin's panicked voice and shuffling coming from down the hall. Was he talking to her?

"Come back here Robin! We're in the middle of dressing you!"

That voice sounded like Alyssa.

"I can dress myself!"

Robin again.

"Robin!"

Emily.

Suddenly, Robin's footsteps seemed to be right outside the door. Starfire didn't have time to hide. She put the mask back in the box, shut it, and quickly placed it back in the drawer.

Robin ran in the room at top speed. The door shut automatically and he pressed some buttons on the keypad next to it.

Starfire heard Alyssa and Emily banging on the door.

"Robin! Let us in!"

"You're not fully made over yet!"

Robin turned around panting. Starfire was frozen. She stared at him a few second before bursting into a fit of giggles.

Part of Robin's cape was ripped of and so was most of his left pant leg. Half of his hair was combed flat on his head, revealing how surprisingly long his it was. A blue shirt had been forced over his head and arm over his uniform.

"Starfire!"

She sat up, "Oh, Robin…I am…sorry. It is just that you…you are…" She started laughing again.

Robin gave her an inquiring look until he felt something slide off his waist. He then felt something slide down his legs. Robin realized just how drafty it was.

All of the sudden Starfire stopped laughing. Her cheeks turned red, "Robin…"

Robin looked down.

God no. Please no.

His pants were down around his ankles.

He pulled his pants up with a yelp, "Starfire…I am so sorry! I didn't mean…they just…I was…!"

Hysterical laughter was heard behind them. Emily was on the floor cracking up while Alyssa looked thoroughly disgusted.

Beast Boy was grinning as he held up Robin's utility belt, "Who knew that was the only thing holding your pants up?"

"YOU PANTSED ME!" Robin yelled.

He lunged at the green teen but stopped in mid-air when a tape was held in front of his face, "Don't even think about it." Cyborg said. Behind him, Boris held up a video camera.

"Y-you got it on tape?" Robin whispered.

"Aw yeah!" Cyborg gave a hoot, "Booya!"

Robin reached for the tape, but Cyborg was quick to pull it away.

"Give me the tape, Cyborg."

Cyborg put his hands behind his back, "Oh, of course Robin. I would love to give you that tape. The only problem is," He showed Robin his empty hands, "I don't have it."

Beast Boy, in the form of a cheetah, was already bolting down the hallway with the tape in his mouth. Robin ran as fast as he could to catch BB, but even the Boy Wonder himself could not outrun a cheetah.

Beast Boy sprinted into the living room with Robin surprisingly close behind him. BB made a sharp turn left and leapt over the sofa. He transformed into a human and threw the tape across the room to Bambi, who was disposing of everything in the refrigerator.

"Bambi! Catch!"

"Wha…?" She looked up just in time to see the tape and successfully grab it, "Like, what the…?"

Robin roared and fell over because he turned so abruptly before going after Bambi.

"It's a tape of Robin being pantsed!" Beast Boy yelled.

Bambi brightened up considerably, "Like, really?"

"Yeah. Just run!"

Bambi finally noticed Robin, who didn't look very much like the Robin she had met, coming at her. She screamed and ran as the other Titans and assistants came into the main room.

"Like, catch!" Bambi hurled the tape at Alyssa, who caught it just in time.

'Phew,' Robin thought. Alyssa was horrified by anything immature. She didn't take crap from anyone. She would give the tape back, knowing how much unnecessary embarrassment it would cause Robin.

He stopped running, "Can I please have the tape Alyssa?"

Alyssa looked at the tape in her hands for a moment. She looked at the others who were in turn looking hopefully at her. She turned her nose up in a huff and set the tape down on the floor. She stepped back so Robin could take it.

Robin walking up to the rectangular object and stomped on it.

His feet went through it, "What…?"

He gasped.

It was a hologram!

He lifted his head to see Alyssa grinning as Emily dashed toward the kitchen clutching the real tape.

As Robin began to pursue her, Emily noticed Raven walk into the room. Knowing that Robin would soon catch her, she hurled the tape at Raven, who caught it with her powers.

"What's this?" The dark girl asked.

"It's a tape of Robin being pantsed!" Cyborg yelled, "Run Raven."

Robin stopped again. Surely Raven wouldn't torture him anymore.

Raven traced her fingers along the edge of the tape. It would be rather fun to keep the chase going…but, it would be pointless. Robin would get the tape eventually, so why even let there be a chase at all?

Raven handed Robin the tape.

Everyone groaned as Robin smashed the tape with his fist and Raven sat down to continue reading The Pit and the Pendulum.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

By noon, Alyssa and Emily had gotten their claws on Robin again, but this time they did not let him escape. When Robin stepped into the living room to eat the 0 calorie, 0 fat lunch Bambi had prepared, all the Titans and assistants gaped.

Robin was dressed in a navy blue, connected, uniform that had a black necking and black shoes. His hair, as opposed to being longer because it was un-spiked as Emily and Alyssa had tried before, was cut slightly shorter, though still spiked. His mask was still firmly in place. Starfire was the only one of the Titans who recognized the outfit.

"N-Nightwing?" She said.

"How did you know!" Emily squealed.

"That was our new name for him." Alyssa said, "Let me guess, the time when you went into the future?"

Starfire nodded, recalling explaining that experience to Alyssa after she had asked about her betrothal to Gurgle…Gurdle…that perso…oh, that thing? Yes, thing was the word.

"I still don't know about the name." Robin said.

"Lunch is, like, served!" Bambi said dropping a platter of food on the table.

On it was fruit, five more pills, and five sandwiches consisting of homemade wheat bread, non-processed turkey meat, and spinach.

Cyborg was in a slight state of depression when he asked, "We get one sandwich each?"

"Yep!" Bambi said.

"What's in the pills this time?" Beast Boy questioned.

"Fish oil." She said, "Same as before."

"Joy." Raven said, "I'm not hungry. I'll just get some herbal tea."

"That would, like, be great!" Bambi was already boiling water, "Non-caffeinated tea is, like, great for the mind, body, and spirit."

Raven handed Bambi a cup and she poured it. Maybe Bambi wasn't all bad…

Just before she took a sip, the tea cup was snatched from Raven's hands. Emily glared and tapped her finger against the cup, "Tea turns your teeth yellow. Bad for your image."

"Um…" Raven started, but Bambi cut in.

"Yeah, but what about Raven's mind, body, and spirit?" Bambi pulled the cup toward her.

"Raven's teeth are not going to be yellow." Emily tugged the cup toward her.

"Mind, body, and spirit!"

"Yellow teeth!"

"Mind, body, and spirit!"

"Yellow teeth!"

"MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT!"

"YELLOW TEETH!"

With what could only be described as some sort of primal growl, Bambi jumped on Emily, scratching at full force. Emily reacted by attempting to yank all of Bambi's hair out at once.

Cyborg, Beast Boy, Mike, and Boris got up, simultaneously yelling, "Catfight!" Grins were plastered on all of their faces.

Alyssa looked angry more than anything as she tried to talk the girls out of clawing each other's eyes out, "Refrain from violent physical contact! Do not do this! You're acting like children! You are being unruly, uncivilized, and moronic! Do not…!"

Emily and Bambi did not even hear Alyssa.

When they kept fighting, Mike spoke, "Five bucks on the blonde."

"I don't know man," Cy said, "Bambi's looking pretty good in this. You're on."

They shook on it, and Robin and Starfire leapt to Emily and Bambi. Starfire grabbed Bambi, who had maneuvered herself on top of Emily and restrained her. Robin kept Emily from moving with the help of Raven, who was using her powers.

"…completely ludicrous that we must endure this unspeakable behavior!" Alyssa finished as Bambi and Emily began to calm down.

Raven was holding Emily fully and Robin released his grip on her, "Titans!" He said, his voice bordering anger, "Out. Mike and Boris too."

Everyone stood still for a moment. It had been a long time since Robin had barked instant orders like that.

"Go!"

The Titans and Mike and Boris did as they were told.

Robin faced the two girls, "First of all…" He started.

"First of all," Alyssa interrupted, "Let me just say that that was the most despicable act of lack of self-control I have seen in a long time! You two girls are teenagers, no, young adults! We should not have to separate you two using physical contact simply because you disagreed over something as trivial as tea!"

"Yes!" Robin agreed, "In fact…"

"In fact," Alyssa said, her voice very loud, "You are extremely lucky that I do not force you to resign as Teen Titans assistants because of this incident. But know that if you ever put one toe out of line again, you will no longer be needed here and will be removed. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes." Bambi said quietly.

"Yes." Emily said.

"Now," Robin continued for Alyssa, "I expect…"

"I expect never for anything like this to happen again." Alyssa adjusted her glasses, "I suggest you get back to work! Emily, work on designs for Starfire's new uniform. Bambi, go to the store and purchase new food for the Titans. Move!"

The girls scurried out, leaving Robin alone with Alyssa.

"Robin," She turned to face the Boy Wonder, "I apologize profusely for what Bambi and Emily did. They had absolutely no right to behave that way after you and your team have so kindly allowed us to stay in your home."

"Yes well…just don't do it again." Robin said awkwardly.

Alyssa walked out of the main room through the doors the Titans and Mike and Boris had left through. Alyssa jumped to the side quickly as, one by one, the Titans and assistants lost their balance against the door and toppled over one another.

Robin sweat dropped as Beast Boy pretended to be stretching, Cyborg started checking the scanner on his arm, Raven stuck her nose in her book, Starfire whistled inconspicuously, Mike filed his nails, and Boris looked anywhere but at Robin.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Later, after Alyssa and Emily had forced Cy into a pair of baggy, brown pants, an oversized shirt, a baseball cap worn sideways, and bright sneakers, Starfire had been tugged into the makeover room.

"What about a femme fatale look? Like in old film noir." Alyssa suggested.

"No. We're going for a cute look. Not a deadly, seen-too-much-of-the-dark-side-of-the-world look." Emily said, "I say we go for white and pink, soft colors. Or different shades of green, to accent her eyes."

Starfire was not one who stayed out of conversation, "Please…what is a femme fatale?"

"Nothing." Emily said. She snapped her fingers, "I've got it!"

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Robin was sifting through papers on his desk when he heard a knock at his door.

"Robin!" Alyssa yelled from the other side, "You must leave your sleeping quarters. I have to show you something."

"It needs to wait." Robin said stubbornly. He had just found a new lead as to who was behind the robberies of banks in the western region of Jump City. "Come back in three hours." He added.

Unfortunately, Alyssa had already punched in his access code and was stepping through his now open door.

"Come on!" She said, "You must see."

"I'm working on something." He said, "I have to get this done or…"

"STARFIRE!" Alyssa screamed so loud that Robin covered his ears.

"Yes?" Came Starfire's voice, though the alien princess herself wasn't visible.

"Come and show Robin!"

"Must I?" Starfire asked.

"Yes!" Alyssa stated, "He wants to see you."

With a sigh, Starfire flew in front of Robin's open door.

Robin's eyes widened, "Uh…" He had suddenly for gotten about the banks being robbed.

Starfire had on a pink, folded, plaid mini-skirt with a white tank top. Her tennis shoes were also white and her socks didn't show. Her hair had been done in a loose, middle pony tail, leaving a few stray wisps to blow freely in the wind. She still wore her neck plate and wrist guards.

"Uh…Star, you look…"

"Well hey, hottie." Mike's cool voice put a damper on the mood. He walked into view behind Starfire, "Didn't know the makeover would be such a success." He traced a wavy line down her half-exposed arm with his finger.

Alyssa nearly bolted to them and slapped Mike's hand away, "You are to refrain from touching her."

"Aw, baby." Mike said, "If you wanted me to touch you instead, all ya had to do was ask."

Without warning, Mike planted his lips on Alyssa, who was too shocked to do anything at first. It only took a few seconds for Alyssa to recover. She struck fast, but she struck hard and Mike's nose was bleeding as he staggered away from her.

"You…you…" Alyssa made a disgusted sound, "You are not to do that again!"

Mike laughed, "You better watch your backside, Alyssa, 'cause I'll be watchin' it too." With that last lingering statement, he left.

Robin was surprised to see Alyssa turn a startling shade of red. So that girl did have feelings…

"Alyssa?" Starfire said gently, "You are…okay?"

"I'm fine, Starfire." Alyssa cleared her throat and looked at her watch, "Oh my," she said rather unenthusiastically, "I'm four minutes behind schedule. Robin, it's time for more Starfire Time. I have to go work on Beast Boy's image."

Alyssa walked calmly down the hall and through the door at the end.

"She did not seem fine." Star said absentmindedly.

"Starfire…" Robin began, "They…you're wearing…"

"I am aware of the cute-ness shirt they have forced on me." Star said, "Oh, Robin! I understand that they mean well but…I…Robin?"

"Yeah?"

Starfire looked down, as if suddenly uncertain of what she was going to say, "What…do you think of my new uniform?"

"Oh…" Robin was stunned. He didn't want to lie. She looked…okay. Yeah, he was lying. She looked great! "You…you look…okay…"

"Merely okay?"

"Well, Star…" Okay, he had to put this in just the right way to give her self-confidence, but not give away that he liked her, "You always look…okay. I mean, more than okay…you don't…now in the…I think…"

Starfire said nothing as she left Robin in his room. Alone.

Robin just stood there. He had done a great job at giving Starfire self-esteem! This was perfect. There was some wako running around robbing banks and Star was mad at him! What was he supposed to do?

More importantly, what had she wanted him to say?

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Cyborg let out a groan, "I think the T-ship's totaled."

Boris stared blankly at him before falling over.

Cy laughed, "I know, man. I can't believe that little grass stain, but we're just gonna have to…" Cyborg was interrupted by his own yawn, "Anyway, you need to help me…Boris?"

Boris was snoring.

Cyborg would have shaken him awake, but Cyborg found it hard to keep his own eyelids from closing. He was…just so…sleepy…

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos…" Raven felt herself crash to the ground. She paused for a moment, "Ow."

She tried to stand up. When she fell down again, Raven knew there was cause for alarm. She crawled halfway across her bedroom floor before closing her eyes and drifting off into an unusually deep sleep.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

"Hold still!" Emily said as she tried to fit a green shirt over Beast Boy's head.

"But I'm sooo tired!" BB whined, still squirming.

"Be. Quiet. Beast Boy." Alyssa said. She was not messing around.

Emily stopped dressing the changeling momentarily and put her hand on her head, "Oh…I think I need to lie down."

"You might as well." Alyssa said, "I can handle this."

"NO!" Beast Boy pleaded, dropping to his knees and grabbing Emily's ankles, "Don't leave me alone with her!" He was stunned to see her fall over, sleeping. "Emily?"

BB heard another thud and turned his head. Alyssa conked out, too.

Well, Beast Boy reasoned, nothing else to do but follow suit. Turning into a small kitten, he slowly let sleep consume his thoughts.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Mike watched Bambi's hips sway as she walked through the kitchen, hurriedly preparing dinner for the Titans. She suddenly scurried over to him. "Like, try this." She held out a spoon of some sort of red liquid.

Mike gave his most charming smile, "Later."

She sighed and put the spoon back in the pot the rest of the red liquid was in. Bambi walked back to Mike and sighed again, "Did it, like, smell that bad?"

"No, I just…"

Suddenly, Bambi fell on him, knocking Mike to the ground. After he got over the initial shock, he poked her arm. She didn't move. He poked a more sensitive area. Still nothing. She was sound asleep.

Mike felt his eyelids close and before he knew it, he was catching some Z's as well.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Robin laid down on his bed with a groan.

God, he was an idiot. Why hadn't he just told Star the truth? She was beautiful all the time. And it wasn't like he was the only one who noticed it. Beast Boy, Cyborg, Aqualad, hell, even villains took a moment to admire her beauty. It had always scared Robin that, if she wanted, Star could have any guy on this planet. On other planets, too, he suspected.

See, this was why Batman had always warned him never to get too involved with his teammates. Not only was he confused, but he found himself unable to focus on the bank robberies. Some leader he was.

The emotional side of Robin had told him to run after Starfire the moment she turned to leave. The rational side, however, knew it would be better to keep his defenses up. If she wanted to talk to him more, she wouldn't have left, anyway.

Robin heard himself yawn. Maybe he would feel better after a quick nap.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Starfire stood in the middle of her room. Why had she done that?

Robin was in the middle of a sentence and she had just walked out. Looking back, she knew if she had stayed she would have cried. There was something about what Robin said, or was saying in fragments of thought, that made her stomach hurt.

He only thought she looked okay? Nothing more? She wasn't attractive? She wasn't beautiful? She didn't have any unique qualities?

He didn't notice her?

X'hal. Why was she gotting so worked up over this?

Starfire felt her knees buckle and found she was soon on the floor. She couldn't keep her eyes from closing and within seconds, she was asleep.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Blackfire let out a seductive laugh as she gazed at the screens. Wonderful. The knock out gas had worked and now all the Titans were sleeping, soon to be her prisoners.

So far, the only thing that had not gone completely according to plan was the fact that the Titans had five guests in their tower. No matter, they were mere Earthlings who did not pose a threat.

Blackfire grinned evilly at the screen that showed Starfire's angelic face, "You took Tameran from me, little sister. My home. So now, I will just have to take your little city…"

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Jen: Good God, finally! That took me forever to write! I hope it's good. Review please! Oh, and I'M ON SPRING BREAK! My school is, like, really weird so our spring break came two weeks late. I almost died this quarter. I have maintained straight A's since the third grade and for third quarter I scraped by with a 90.4 in science. I almost fainted.

Oh yeah. I was so happy that it was spring break that I was an idiot and went to Vegas even though I was kinda sick. By the time I got back I had a 100° temp. So I went to the doctor and the stupid nurse had to take my blood to see if I had a disease. God, I hate the doctor's.

Um…I don't know why I just wrote that, but I did so…yeah. Review! Bye!
