A/N: Ok, I replied to everyone's review and I'm all set! By the way, you all don't need to tell me to update. I don't know if I mentioned this here or not but I'm already done the story (18 chapters), so of course I'll update!

Chapter Five: Relationships

The Titans were pumped to get to the scene of the crime. Cyborg and Beast Boy both whooped and cheered at the fact that there was still someone out there to kick butt. Robin narrowed his eyes at the big screen where all of the information about the villain and their crime was located. He was determined to defeat the villain successfully, and he was sure the team's intense training would pay off.

"It's at the bank," he called over Cyborg and Beast Boy's cheering, "A robbery."

"Then let's go—before my sonic cannon gets any dustier!" Cyborg cried. "To the T-Car!" he shouted, which made Beast Boy and Starfire laugh whereas both Robin and Raven flinched.

The young Titans rushed out of the main entrance and hopped into the T-car to ride to the bank. Robin quickly sat in the front with Cyborg, while Starfire sat in the seat behind him. Beast Boy moved in next to Starfire, and once Raven got in he was sandwiched between the two girls. Raven expected him to make some comment about it, but he didn't. He seemed to be concentrating on her, once she looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Hopefully this battle's gonna rock!" he said, "I've been waiting to kick villain butt for ages!"

Raven waited for the other Titans to respond, but they didn't. It was then that she realized that he was only talking to her. She wasn't in the mood to discourage him, as he did truly look excited. She then realized that he was patiently waiting for her to respond, and she said, "I hope it's…worth it too."

However, once the team had gotten to the scene of the crime, they were not happy.

Their so-called villain was just a regular burglar. He had a paper bag mask which was presumably from the grocery store across the street, and wore regular everyday clothing. The money he had stolen was in a plastic bag—also presumably from the grocery store across the street. The Titans weren't even sure if he was taking the robbery seriously, since everyone in the city was aware that a criminal like him usually took thirty seconds to defeat.

The Titans had gotten their answer when the burglar froze. He dropped the money he had confiscated and put his hands up at the sight of the heroes.

"Man, this is just pathetic," Cyborg said, while dialing the police through his arm. "Why couldn't the cops just get this guy themselves?"

"They wished to give us something to do?" Starfire suggested, also discouraged.

"Even if that was the reason, that's still pathetic," Raven pointed out.

"Well, this just proves my point," Beast Boy said, and the other Titans stared at him.

"What do you mean?" Raven asked, speaking what the others had thought.

"I mean, what's the point in training, if we're probably just going to get villains like this guy all of the time now? We're working our butts off in the gym more than we did when there were actual villains in this city!"

Raven, Cyborg, and Starfire all braced themselves for Robin to explode or at least say something. For the most part, Robin didn't seem too bothered, but when the police arrived and the team had stepped out of the bank, it was easily seen that he was bothered.

"I thought you were okay with the training, Beast Boy," he stiffly said. "You do want to go out with the team on Friday nights, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I still don't see the point."

Robin froze and walked towards the changeling. "Look, we've had this conversation time and time again. The villains can break out from Paris anytime, and we've got to be prepared for it. If you don't care so much, then you shouldn't be calling yourself a Titan."

Beast Boy glowered at his last words. "Well, I don't have to be a workaholic to call myself a Titan," he muttered.

Robin clenched his fists but said nothing. Starfire put on hand on both of their shoulders. "Please stop fighting friends, the criminal is gone, and it is over."

"We're having a disagreement, not arguing," Robin said to her, while Raven raised an eyebrow.

He sighed. "Let's get going home."

Cyborg, Raven, and Beast boy hopped into the T-Car. Before Robin got in, Starfire pulled him back. "If you do not mind, I would like for you to accompany me flying home," Starfire said. For some reason Robin already knew that this was code for, 'We need to talk.'

Robin nodded. He poked his head into the driver's window. "Go ahead on home Cyborg, we'll catch up."

Once the other Titans had departed, Starfire reached for Robin's hand and proceeded to fly up. At first she said nothing to him, and Robin wondered what the point was in them flying together if she wasn't going to say anything. Her voice eventually stopped those thoughts.

oOo

"Robin...you are starting to be too hard on Beast Boy again."

Robin's eyes widened beneath his mask. "'Too hard again?' You yourself have heard him ask the same question every time we go training, and now we hear it again here. If you were in my position you would get frustrated too."

Starfire shook her head and responded, "No, not exactly. I believe it was uncalled for to tell him that he should not be calling himself a Titan. Beast Boy is most definitely a Titan, and one of the biggest ones I have the pleasure of knowing. He was a great help in defeating the Brotherhood, and if I remember correctly, you and he defeated them...together."

Robin did not speak.

"I know that you are different, and see things differently, but remember that you are both on the same team. Arguing over little things such as 'disagreements' like training helps no one."

At the end of her last word, Starfire landed on the top of the tower with Robin. They proceeded down the steps to the lower part of their home, with Robin lost in his thoughts.

Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg had arrived at the tower many minutes before the other two Titans. They sat in the kitchen discussing the argument, while waiting for Robin and Starfire to come home.

"Why does he have to be so frustrating?" Beast Boy asked, while pacing around. "I only asked a question."

"A question that you keep repeatedly asking him," Raven said while sipping her tea. "I don't blame him for getting angry."

Cyborg nodded. "And Robin's right Beast Boy...the villains can break out any day. We have to be ready for that."

"But he said I shouldn't be calling myself a Titan...what's up with that?"

"Anger," Raven responded while setting down her cup. "People say things they don't mean when they're angry."

Beast Boy plopped down next to her and sighed.

"Besides, Robin's the type of guy that always pushes to be greater. He's been like that since I've met him," Cyborg added. "He told me that he just wants the best for us, and for us not to be slacking off."

Beast Boy folded his arms.

"Come on Beast Boy, without Robin, whose going to get us to train…just a little?"

The youngest Titan pondered on this a little, until Cyborg banged him on the head.

Beast Boy gave a small laugh and rubbed his head. "I guess you're right. Hey…I wonder what he's going to do when Star's gonna be at school all of that time."

"That's a good question," Raven muttered to herself, and Beast Boy looked up. "She's probably the one telling Robin not to be angry at you right now...it's like her job."

"Some job," Beast boy chortled, and Raven punched him in the arm.

oOo

The next day was a good one. Everyone had showed up to practice (Robin was pleased about this, as he gave a satisfied smile after all of the Titans had walked in) and no one bickered. After practice Robin and Starfire retreated to the roof, and Beast Boy and Raven retreated to the library, aka Raven's room. This gave Cyborg two choices. He could figure out why Raven and Beast Boy stayed locked up in Raven's room reading, or hang out with Robin and Starfire for the day. He decided to go for the latter, since that was less frightening.

On the roof, Robin and Starfire were playing basketball. They eagerly let Cyborg join them, and he played against 'the couple', one against two. Naturally being the tallest, Cyborg won every single game, and although Robin didn't like it, Starfire was happy either way. She cheered and even gave Cyborg a 'five-high'.

Robin gave a defeated sigh and changed the subject. "Where are Raven and Beast Boy anyway?" Robin asked. "I feel like I haven't seen them all day or them bicker in ages."

"Ah, they're in Raven's room. They've been going there often," Cyborg told him.

Robin raised his eyebrow.

"They're reading a book, Robin..."

"I did not know that Beast Boy had interest in novels," Starfire said, pondering.

"Neither did I…I was planning on checking them out later today. You know, try to get them out of that room."

Robin nodded. "You do that. Star and I need to go sort out her school supplies. I think they come in the mail today."

After trying to figure out why there was a hint of disappointment in Robin's voice while mentioning Starfire's school supplies, Cyborg headed off to check the other Titans.

When Cyborg got to where the rooms were located, Raven's door was a crack open, just enough so he could see that she and Beast Boy were sitting on the window sill. She was reading aloud to him, and Beast Boy was deeply interested in the book.

Or maybe it wasn't the book he was interested in?

Cyborg moved from Raven's room door, grinning. This was very interesting.
