A/N: Not as good as the first, not as good as the third, but good enough. It actually has a plot! I think? May be revamped if I feel the need. That's all I got.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, and I'm fairly certain that's a good thing for the world.
Setting the Stage
Chapter 2
By: Finalitylife
Robin P.O.V;
The room opened up into a much larger area with lights flashing, music blaring, and numerous stages with women dancing for other patrons of the club. I spotted an enormous bar to the right though Cindi was leading us toward the left side of the place. Garfield's eyes were wide open, jumping back and forth from one girl to the next.
"I think I'm in love...with her, and her, and her..."
"We got it dipshit. Its too soon to be making a fool outta yourself so be quiet." He shut up though is eyes kept doing plenty of talking. We eventually came to a large table that seemed to have its own private bar nearby as well.
"This will be your table for the evening. I will be your private bartender for just you gentlemen, so as Mr. Harper said earlier, do not hesitate to ask for anything." Roy leans toward her, whispering something in her ear. She smiles, giggling slightly, winking at all of us as she walks away. We each take our seats, a type of half circle so that we can still see each other but a nearby stage is also very clear.
"So Roy, what did you whisper into her ear?"
"I just told her to bring us something to start off the night. Got to have at least one toast we can all remember before the depths of alcohol induced forgetfulness engulf us all."
"You make getting shit ass drunk sound eloquent...nice touch."
"Its all in the words man, its all about being a salesman. That's why the ladies love me. I give them exactly what they want."
"I think of your head gets any bigger, nobody is gonna want you." Roy only smiles.
"I guess that depends on what head your talking about." All we can do is groan at his lame joke and his continued blind arrogance. However, I will say one thing, nothing ever phases him. Cindi finally comes back and places tall glassed of dark liquid in front of us.
"What in the hell is this may I ask?"
"You may, but I was going to tell you anyways. You see, normally, a jagerbomb is a small shot of energy drink and jager. However, that's for pussies. This is the man's way of taking it. In front of you is 16 ounces of said shot..." Roy raises the glass in front of him. "And so begins a night of relaxation and fun for us, and maybe if we get around to it, we can close a couple of business deals." He gives us a knowing smile to who we're supposed to be.
"So cheer's my friends, and may sobriety be as far gone as any chance of Garfield ever, ever getting laid."
"Cheers!" Well everyone except Garfield who made another attempt to defend himself, but chose instead to pound the drink in front of them. Of course my logical side knows exactly the mistake of ever mixing uppers and downers and that's all this glass is, but I guess I can relax for one night. Its not like I haven't earned it. The last day I had off so long I spent in the park with Raven. Wonder if I'll get a chance soon to do that again...wait why the hell am I thinking about that now? I shake my head as I slam the glass down, the taste in such quantity causing me to wince ever so slightly.
"Oh yeah!" yells Roy as he too slams the glass down...a few seconds slower than me I might add...haha, always just a bit slower than me Roy.
"Alright Cindi, bring us a few shots of some Blue Label Whiskey to wash that taste out of our mouths and then we can really get drinking. How about it boys?" I can't help but find Roy's enthusiasm infectious...we all do I think. We all cheer as the night is just getting started.
Raven P.O.V:
Azarath Metrion...oh why the fuck do I even try! I wince slightly at the vulgarity flowing through my mind. How uncouth...just like those hormone-driven jackasses who went out to fulfill some juvenile desires...why am I thinking of them again? Why do I keep thinking of Robin every second I close my eyes? To put a logical understanding to it seems to be an impossibility. I let out a grumble for what really has to be the hundredth time this night as I stand to my feet in my room which was supposed to be more comfortable than the main room though has, despite my best efforts, proven just as frustrating an environment.
Alright, let's think...you're just thrown off actually having the tower so quiet. Its not very often you get this luxury. Normally when everyone goes out, you usually go meditate while watching Robin train in the...bad example. Okay, let's try that again. The last time the tower was this quiet, you played three hours of intense chess with Robin, who was in fact not wearing a mask with those amazing...there seriously is something wrong with me. There can be no other fathomable reason why my mind is so far gone. Its finally happened, I've gone insane...its not like I didn't see this one coming. Years of unending meat arguments, knock-knock jokes, puddings with the ability to crawl, and Robin's incredible body showing in his tight unif...Insane! Completely and totally insane!
I clutch my head, doing my best to clear all of it out. Where did all of this come from? I didn't seem unnatural just...just... I don't know. Its my final thoughts as I slip off my rope, intent on taking a shower to help me relax.
51 seconds later...
I storm out of the bathroom whipping my towel at the wall. Why the HELL did me being naked with soothing warm water cascading down my body only instantly make me think of Robin more?
A frustrating scream echoes the tower, though Starfire takes no notice as she continues to intently research the club of strip for girls to go to on the internet, her eyes very, very wide.
Robin P.O.V:
Its amazing what a difference a few hours can make...well that and an unending supply of alcohol. I feel good, really, really good. I take another sip of my vodka on the rocks, savoring the flavor, top shelf alcohol indeed as I survey the room. This place truly has no short supply of beautiful women and other than Cindi, I don't think I've seen the same girl twice. I swear they're shipping new ones in the back door every twenty minutes.
I let out a chuckle as I see Garfield, his eyes wide open as he receives a lap dance, a very large, bare chest right in his face. He looks really happy at the situation...hell so do all the guys. I've had my share of women on me tonight, once word that I was THE Richard Grayson got around I had every stripper purring in my ear if 'Dick wanted a dance'. All Roy would do is smile at me with that same strange smile. If my mind could even think clearly anymore, then I'm sure I'd be trying to figure something out but everything has become a little hazy, a little bit blurry and I'm sure it will only get worse.
I see Cindi walk by again, and I realize I need another drink. Cindi and I have been flirting back and forth all night, and I do find myself enjoying it. She's a sweet girl and actually seems like she has some intelligence in her. Of course I also know I'm simply keeping up my reputation as Richard Grayson, playboy bachelor, second only to the ultimate playboy bachelor Bruce Wayne. I'm sure if he saw me right now he'd be giving me a thumbs up...or if he was dressed as Batman...ready to pummel me for acting so irresponsible. Either way I can't say I really care because Bruce's or Batman's approval were hardly at the top of my list of things I desired...hadn't been for a while now.
I signal for Cindi to come over and she does with a smile on her face which I return. She is soon standing in front of me and our banter resumes.
"So tell me Cindi, honestly, are you just a bartender here?" She gives me a smile as she sets her tray down, soon straddling me, her skirt riding up very high on her thighs, her arms stretched out, her hands locking behind my head as she leans into me. I hands rest on her hips.
"I was a dancer, but I didn't have time to do it anymore because I went back to school." I stare at her eyes which are locked on my own.
"What did you go back to school for?" She smiles.
"I'm in my second year of med school. I'm going to be a doctor." I hide the shock that this woman is going to be a doctor. It was the last thing I expected though I guess you should never judge someone before you know them.
"Impressive."
"I think so. People think if you strip, your nothing but a body, but I'm smarter than most people and I've made enough money here to pay my way by myself."
"Well those that think your just a body are obviously missing out an quite a lot. Too bad for them." I give her a smile which she returns, her hand sliding down, putting something in my pocket.
"I have to get back to work Mr. Grayson. It truly has been a pleasure." She stands up, sliding her skirt back down enough to hide the black panties that were peaking out. She gives me another smile before walking over to the bar to get some drinks. I let out a breathe I really didn't know I was holding, pulling out the phone number I knew was placed there. I stared at the barely legible number sequence...doctor handwriting indeed. I stare at the number for a few more seconds, and the vision of a purple-haired young woman flashed through my mind, a disapproving look on her beautiful features. I shake my head, clearing the strange vision out of my inebriated mind. However, I can't shake the feeling that Raven is disappointed in me nor the fact that her being disappointed in me truly bothers me.
The thoughts are soon forgotten as another drink is in my hand though her face is still in the back of my mind despite the entertainment that continues to move back and forth in front of me.
Roy sits down next to me, returning from wherever the hell he went and knowing Roy, anything could have been possible.
"Hey there buddy, enjoying yourself there I see with Cindi?" I feel the phone number still clutched in my hand.
"Yeah she certainly is an interesting girl though I don't know if she's my type." Roy gives a disbelieving laugh as he slaps me hard in the back.
"What blonde, beautiful, and assertive aren't your type? What are you gay?"
"Well she's definitely your type Roy but me, I'm always looking for something a bit different, someone like..." I cut my words off, slightly shocked at what I was about to say. Roy eyes me suspiciously.
"Someone like who?" I eye him.
"Ya know what, I am not having this conversation right now and I am most certainly not having it with the likes of you. If I ever need advice on treating an STD then I'll come to you."
"Hey man I take comments like that personal. I get checked all the time, I'm clean." He beams at his accomplishment and I all I can do is shake my head.
"Roy, you really got some serious issues you know that?"
"Hey if loving women too much is my biggest problem, then I've living the dream man. And don't act like we all don't have problems or have you forgotten just who we are?" I nod slightly.
"Alright, you win this one Mr. Harper, though I guarantee that is the first and last time that will ever happen." Again he slaps me on the back, this time almost painfully though thankfully my senses are far too dulled to care.
"See! There's the Richard we need tonight." Cindi stops by and places a lot more shots in front of me and Roy, along with my drink.
"Now I don't remember ordering all of this?"
"Like you give a damn. Let's drink."
I'm not sure how much longer it is later though I know I am swaying back and forth slightly trying to still hold a conversation with Roy...though I'm not even sure what the topic is...something about fake tits versus real ones maybe? I watch as he glances at his watch and another big smile on his face.
"Alright Dick, its time for a very special treat. This is my way of personally thanking you for starting this whole Titan thing all that time ago because without you doing that, I wouldn't be here at this very moment, wouldn't have all these great friends, and probably would still be ready to snap on the Green Arrow every fucking day for something or another.
"Wow Roy I'm touched but is this special treat going to inevitably cause me to kick your ass cuz you know I'm always looking for an excuse to put you back in your place."
"Big words from someone who can barely get out a coherent sentence."
"How about you stick to insults that don't sum up you at this moment too?"
"Good point but no, this thank you will not cause you to kick my ass. In reality, I think you'll be buying me this place after this one...hell you might be buying it for yourself though even that might be expecting too much from your cheap ass."
"Hey being thrifty is a talent."
"What's the point of saving money when you could be dead tomorrow and the way we live, that's not a big stretch."
"How about we don't get all depressing right now ya jerk."
"Hey just trying to encourage ya to live a little more. This is only one night, it really shouldn't be another year before we get to do something like this again."
"I'll keep that in mind Roy but really at this moment, I quite curious to see what this surprise is."
"Alright, alright, forgive me for actually trying to have a serious situation."
"Ya know I can think of a lot of things wrong with that statement the most obvious is that you just said it."
"Fuck when did you become such a comedian. Soon people are going to start mistaking you for me." I feel a chill shoot through my body
"Seriously man, don't joke about that. Its not funny."
"Alright, alright, just follow me then to the greatest moment of your short, pathetic life." I rise to my feet, following after Roy who is far more stumbly than me though still manages to walk with a certain control. Trademark of someone who probably gets drunk far too often. I follow him toward the back, eventually coming to a stop at a door.
"Alright Dick, just go inside and take a seat. Now you may think you know what's coming but you have no fucking idea. You can trust me on that one."
"Roy...if I trusted you then I'm sure I would be in jail by now." He nods.
"Fair enough, I'll see you later. Enjoy yourself."
As soon as Robin was gone and Roy returned, everyone noticed the incredibly large and suspicious smile on Roy's face and despite everyone having trouble even seeing straight at this point, they knew something was up.
"Roy...how about you tell us why you're grinning like a psycho over there. It's kinda startin to weird me out. You didn't just kill Dick did you?"
"Good guess, hell good idea but no. Its just because of the little treat I got for our hard working friend Richard. Something that will fucking blow his mind, I can guarantee you that."
"Mind filling us in on what's going on then?" Roy's grin got larger.
"If you ladies could excuse us for just a few moments, I need to talk some private business with my friends." The ladies, one sitting on Garfield's lap and the other on Aqualad's, smiled and got up, heading toward the bar.
"What's so important that you had to make her leave? I think she was starting to like me."
"Of course she was starting to like you, with the type of money I'll be handing out to everyone at the end of this night, everyone will fucking love us forever, but that's not important right now. What is important is what Boy Wonder is about to experience. You see, there is a very specific reason why I like this place so much and a very important reason we went here tonight. You see..."
A few moments later, a resounding Holy Fuck! echoed the club.
Robin P.O.V:
I found myself sitting in a very comfortable chair in a dimly lit room waiting for...I wasn't sure what exactly though Roy had promised perhaps the greatest moment of my life. Normally, I would have had quite a bit of objection and mistrust centered around any suggestion made by Roy, but after several hours of relaxing and of course the heavy drinking...not so disagreeable anymore. I lean back a little bit, sipping on the drink still in my hand, and really I can't help but feel incredible.
It is at that moment that the music starts playing. It is low and soothing, seemingly coming from everywhere, only furthering the relaxing feeling. A curtain a few feet in front of me suddenly starts to shift and very slowly out steps a tall, extremely leggy red-head wearing the exact same uniform as Starfire. Hell she could have passed for Starfire at a distance. My eyes went completely wide as she stepped into full view, her hand placed confidently on her hip as my eyes took in the whole unbelievable view. Oh my God! This really can't be happening. Starfire's skirt can't possible be that short!
She moves toward me, swaying her hips as she moves, circling the chair I sit in, her hand caressing my chest then my back as she moves. She stops behind me, both her hands settling on my shoulders, gently massaging me, and I let out a small groan at the feel.
It is then that I notice the curtain moving again and this time out steps a cloaked young woman...the same exact cloak that Raven wears. I immediately feel my heart stop at this sight. This seriously, seriously can't be happening. The Starfire look-alike leaves me and walks toward the other woman, lowering the hood to reveal another gorgeous face with fake indigo hair. This girl does not look as close to Raven as the other one does to Starfire, but still, it is incredible. I feel my eyes bulge out of my head as the taller red-head lowers her head and deeply kisses the other woman, the tingling in my pants hitting me full force. After a few seconds, they stop and they both are now looking at me with smiles on their faces. The Raven look-alike drops the cloak and the Starfire look-alike drops her skirt.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Grayson."
"You have to be fucking kiddin me!"
Yeah that's right, Starfire and Raven at the same time can you believe that and the girls are just drop dead hot. It's the best thing I've ever seen." Everyone at the table with the exception of Roy has their mouth's hanging open, their eyes wide. It is Garfield who finally speaks.
"Well how come he's the one who gets too see that. Why not any of us? I'd kill, and I mean I'd probably kill somebody to see that. I can't even count how many fantasies I've had about either of them...Terra more than them two but that's besides the point. I mean my God, both of them at the same time taking their clothes off and..."
"Garfield, calm dawn. Your rambling and starting to leave a puddle of drool on the table. Please try to act a little bit civilized," says Roy as he pounds another drink down.
"Oh yeah...nothing better than whiskey. And for the record, there are three reasons the rest of you didn't get this unbelievable opportunity. One: Robin really, really needed to relax. Can any of you honestly tell me they work harder or longer than that guy?" Only nods. "If anyone deserves the special performance, then its Dick.. Second reason is if you saw the performance, then I highly doubt any of you would be able to look at the real Starfire and Raven again without stuttering, blushing, or pitching a tent...Garfield." He only smiles sheepishly. "Third reason...well that you really don't need to know, but its really important for quite a lot of this evening." Again Roy is smiling suspiciously. Cyborg takes a swig of his beer.
"Your probably right. Robin did need to live a little, and I of course prefer my women a little darker with a lot more attitude."
"And on occasion with cotton candy pink hair."
"And on occasion with cot... Hey shut up man!"
"Haha, sorry just couldn't resist. Anyways, I think the most pressing matter at the moment is that we're out of booze and there are no women gyrating on my lap. This party ain't over yet."
The group hooted in agreement, letting the good times roll on.
A few hours later, Roy is leaning against a wall toward the back, a cigarette in hand, taking a deep, satisfying inhale. He watched as a red-headed woman came out of a door, in just her underwear, carrying a small bit of clothes. She spotted Roy and walked over.
"Well fancy seeing you here. Come to make sure your friend was getting your money's worth?"
"No, not really. Was just curious about something, that's all. How you doing tonight 'Starfire'?
"Just fine Mr. Harper. Not going to get a special dance tonight?"
"Not tonight. Tonight was about something else."
"I find that hard to believe Mr. Harper. You don't seem like the type of guy who has something else in his life." Roy smiled.
"You'd be surprised I think but I got to get back to the table. I'll see you around." With that Roy walked back to the table, not seeing Robin again for quite a bit longer.
Raven P.O.V:
My half closed eyes snapped open, hearing the sound echo down the hallway.
"What the hell was that? Please not tonight, please no villain tonight." There is no alarm going off, so I really wonder what that noise was. Maybe its Starfire I wonder. I stand up, knowing I need to check it out. I look down at my state of 'undress', a pair of short cotton shorts and a tank top. I quickly throw my cloak on, not really having time to change and definitely not wanting anyone to see me in my pajamas...except maybe Robin...yep, even after a few hours the thoughts haven't gone away. Maybe if I kill Robin, then there won't be a problem anymore...crazy thoughts, crazy thoughts.
My door slides open, and I step out into the hallway. I glance down the hall and barely see a red haired head peeking out of another room at me. Alright so that mysterious sound wasn't Starfire.
"Raven...did you here a strange sound?"
"Yes Star...from down the hall I think. Come on, I might need your help if something is really up." She nods and steps out into the hall. I find my eyes go wide in shock for a moment.
"Star...um don't you think...some more clothes on maybe?" She blinks uncertainly a few times before looking down her body past her small pink tank top and her face immediately goes bright red as she realizes all she is wearing on her bottom is her small, frilly panties.
"Oh I am most sorry Raven...most embarrassed...I was alone in my room and I was..."
"Star! Please, please stop. I really don't need to know. Just go put something on please so we can find out what that noise is and then go our separate ways." She nervously giggles as she backs into her room. I guess Robin isn't the only one seeing half naked women tonight...can my life get any stranger?
