Chapter Six: Truth or Dare

"All Titans, check in."

"Cyborg here, C and C is set up."

"Aqualad here, nothing out of the ordinary."

"Speedy here. BB's got nothing."

"Keep in touch," Robin ordered. He moved with the shadows though the canyon of stacked containers. According to his information, the cache was already on the docks. All the Titans needed to do was find it. Each container was stamped with the ship's registry number, point of origin code, and a manifest detailing the contents. It took three days of cracking heads around the city to discover the name of the vessel: Star of the East. The Teen Wonder passed the information to his team, and Cyborg quickly found the specific dock where the ship berthed, the registry numbers and locations for all the offloaded containers.

Unfortunately for the Titans, a super cargo ship like the Star of the East can carry thousands of containers, making a search for any particular one a literal needle in a haystack. It meant that they all had to do something so terribly difficult for teenaged boys: wait.

Minutes passed slowly. Beast Boy had tired of being a bloodhound and returned to his human form. He walked over to Speedy who quietly strung his bow and was examining the shafts of his arrows.

"So, you seemed to really like that Wonder Girl, Roy."

"Oh, you mean the chick who couldn't remember my codename? Yeah, I mean, she's way hot, but…"

"But she didn't fall for your shtick at all did she?"

Roy snorted and curled his lips into a sneering grimace.

…..

"So what did Roy's note say?" Bee asked.

The girls ate their fill of pizza, were now in Starfire's room, and were changing into their sleep ware. Star pulled the folded note from her gauntlet and opened it. Her green eyes narrowed and her brow furrowed with concentration. "It must be in code or a language I do not understand," she said. The willowy girl turned the slip of paper on its side, then upside down, but neither of the new views aided her in reading it.

"Can I see?" Raven asked. "My gods, he has horrific penmanship. Um..." Raven too narrowed her eyes in concentration. Then she blushed slightly and looked to Starfire.

Starfire widened her eyes pleadingly, "What does it say, Raven?"

Raven cleared her throat. "'Star: I'd love to see you in this sometime. Just this.' And he drew a little winking icon."

"Oh," Star gasped as she realized the implication. The willowy girl blushed deeply.

Bee and Argent doubled over with laughter.

"Why, what a lech! No wonder he didn't want you to read that in front of everyone, Star!" Donna exclaimed between giggles. She turned to Bumble Bee, "Is he always like this?"

"Pretty much," Bee said gasping for air. "He tried to hit on me, so I had to shoot him down a few times before he got the point."

Argent wiped a tear away from laughing too hard, "Oh, Robin would have not been happy at all."

Jinx snorted from the bathroom, "Robin, nothing, Cyborg would have pounded him flat on the spot!"

Bee nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but I sure would have made a mint selling tickets!"

Jinx emerged from Star's bathroom. She now wore a red cotton, sleeveless tee shirt with a cartoon inspired, very feminine black cat on the front and matching black cotton boxer briefs. The words "Bad Luck" appeared in a fancy font over the cat. She wore her hair down, slicked back straight from the shower and tamed by a black headband.

"Um, next?" she said demurely.

"If no one minds, I'm going to change in my room," Raven said and left before anyone could answer.

"Oh my," Star said, looking at Jinx. "Perhaps you should leave your hair like this. You look very nice."

"Thanks, Star."

Argent slipped into the bathroom next and soon reappeared in a worn Green Day concert tee shirt and rather gaudy cotton boxers. Where Jinx's outfit actually complimented her pale skin, Argent's silver tone clashed greatly with the garish clothes, and her hair still spiked out in every direction. Bee slid in next, and came out in a set of satin gold pajamas. She tagged in Donna, who took a relaxing shower and reappeared in an oversized tee shirt with a large teddy bear printed on it.

At last, Starfire turned on her shower and prayed everyone left her enough hot water. The willowy girl slithered out of her costume as steam began to billow out of her shower. In water that would scald anyone else, Starfire simply relaxed. She stretched and craned her neck; then she did the lather, rinse, and repeat while singing a little song she learned from South Pacific. After she rinsed all the shampoo from her hair, she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. A cloud of vapor spilled out, fogging the bathroom and spilling into her bedroom. The willowy girl toweled off and slipped into a pale purple camisole gown with matching bloomers.

Raven wrapped her long midnight blue silk robe tightly around her body and walked quietly back into the room.

"Welcome back Raven!" Donna said as she started to braid Jinx's hair.

"Thank you, Donna."

Raven looked around. Bumble Bee and Argent were playing with Silkie, while Star began the arduous task of brushing her exceedingly long hair. The pale witch sat on the edge of round bed and folded her hands in her lap.

"Um, shouldn't we like do something?" Raven asked quietly.

"Oh, I know!" Bee exclaimed. She narrowed her eyes dramatically. "Truth or Dare."
