ROLL FILM!
Faith was sitting down in her room thinking about whatever came to her mind, which may I just say was alot. She thought about whether she was doing the right thing, why she felt drawn to Jake... she has yet to admit that she liked him, but mostly she thought about the fight the other day.
#why had Slade attacked? Why didnt he inform of what he was doing? Some sort of deal this is,I havn't a clue as to what i'm supposed to do!# She thought to herself.She sighed and flopped down on her bed thorouly confused.
Robin was in his room standing in front of his desk going through piles of newspaper clippings, note card's,enemy weapons and the broken Slade mask from when he had been forced to be Slades apprentaice.
He growled and slammed his fist down on the desk. Just then he heard a knock on the door, He turned and walked over and opened it to reveal Starfire standing in the doorway looking rather hopefull.
"Hello freind Robin!"
"Hey Star, you know this isn't realy a good time." Robin replied, frowning.
Starfire's smile faltered and she bowed her head sadley, Robin felt rather guilty. He sighed,"What is it Star?"
Starfire looked up at him and said,"We were hoping that you would join us in the movie night when we view wonderfully frightening films and gorge ourselves on sugery sweets." She said hopefully
"No thanks Star, I have to fiigure out why Slade wanted that chip." Robin explained, and was about to close the door when Star put her foot in the way of the doorway looking stern, Robin looked at her.
"Robin, I have not forgoten the last time Slade stole a chip and the way you reacted, you forgot the reason you had to catch him and forgot about us. You became, how you say, obsesed?" Starfire looked at him worridly.
Robin didn't know what to say, he knew she was right but didn't have the guts to admit it.
"Star, I..." He started.
"It is true isn't it? Finding Slade is all you care about, not spending time with your friends who care about you very much." Starfire said, a sad look on her face.
"But you agree that Slade has to be caught right?" Robin defended himself.
"I understand that this is important, but is it worth the loss of your friends?" Starfire persisted.
Robin looked at her suprised and then hung his head shamfully.
"Your right Star," Starfire looked at him."I'll come down." Then he looked at her smiling." What movie is it?"
Starfire smiled"You shall have to come down and discover that for your own." Robin chukled, "Yeah,guess I will, thanks." Starfire looked at him confuesd,"For what friend Robin?"
"For showing me what matter's." He smiled and so did Starfire.
"You are most welcome." And they walked down to the living room together.
Down at the living room Beastboy had just finnished telling another bad joke,
Raven rolled her eye's,
"Beastboy, could you for one day at the least, not tortore us?" She said annoyed.
Beastboy frowned and crossed his arm's, "Come on Raven, you know i'm funny, and i'm not giving up til I get you to smile."
"Why do you care so much anyway?"
"Cause your my friend and you never laugh, you never have fun, it's upsetting."
"Well too bad," She said frowning, she then wispered somthing none of them heard,"It's not like I have a choice."
The movie started and they all sat down to watch it, then Jake noticed that somone was missing,
"Hey, were's Faith?" He asked.
"I talked to her earlier,"Raven said,"She said she was busy,didn't want to come down."
"Did you tell her what movie it was?" Beastboy asked, as he picked up the cover to wicked scary II.
"Uh-huh."
"Well then she's crazy not to come down cause I heard that this is suposed to be twenty times scarier then the first one!" Beastboy said happily.
Starfire gasped and then looked at Raven who sighed.
"Dont worry, I learnt my lesson last time." She reasured her.
Starfire sighed with releif.
"What happened last time?" Jake asked.
"Long story, and the movie's starting." Raven said as the prevews ended and the movie started.
Cyborg reached for the popcorn but realised that Beastboy had already pollished it off, and the movie had only just started! He sighed, got up and grabbed the bowl to get some more, highly gratefull of the lack of walls between the kitchen and the living room.
When he got to the kitchen he was suprised to find Faith sitting down at the table,
"Hey Faith, why arn't you watchen the movie? Its suposed to be realy scary! Like it'll make Robin never want to go look for Slade cause he suddenly developed a fear of dark places scary!"
Faith raised an eyebrow at him,
"And that, my annoyingly persistent friend, is exactly why I dont want to watch it."
Cyborg quickly looked over at the Tv which Faith was avoiding looking directly at in fear of seeing something that would make Raven afaird of the dark and then looked at Faith, now being the brotherly big guy he was he had to at least try to make her feel a little bit better, he sat down at the table causing her look up at him confused.
"Hey if you didnt want to watch it you could've just stayed in your room, why'd you come down?" Cyborg asked her.
"Cause I live here now and I shouldnt have to hide up in my room every time somthing scary comes on Tv." She said grumpily.
"You dont like scary movies huh?"
"And the award for the most obvious statment ever goes to...gasp! Cyborg! Congratulations!" She said said sarcasticly.
"Haha, very funny."
"I thought so."
Cyborg smiled and said,
"Look, if you dont want to watch the movie why dont you just do somthin else, like, err, im not sure what you like to do seeing as i've only known you a couple of days, so I dont have any suggestions." He looked back over at the Tv to see what he was missing, luckily for him, it hadnt gotten good yet so he could talk a little more,
#Maybe while i'm helpin her I could be helpin Jake at the same time,heh heh, time to dig up some dirt!#
Faith looked up at him,
"Well, I dont really enjoy anything much anymore, come to think of it." She said frowning.
Cyborg's jaw dropped,
"You mean you dont have fun, go out, have a favorite food you could order or any hobbies?"#Man this girl needs to get out more!#
"Oh, I have have a hobbie, but I ran out of paper a while ago, I was gonna pick up another sketch book while I was out shopping but it slipped my mind." She said absent mindedly.
"You like to draw?"
"No, I eat the paper, of cause I like to draw! That's what people normaly use skecth book's for is it not?"She said raising an eyebrow.
Cyborg narrowed his eyes at her,
"You really know how to put a guy down you know that?"
"Yup, it's one of my many tallents which also include: sarcasim, cooking and kicking butt, any other question's?" She said with a smirk.
"That can get really annoying sometimes you know?" He said earning another smirk from Faith,
"What sort of things do you draw anyway?"
"Oh all kinds of things, whatever i'm enspired to draw at the time, mostly it depends on my mood."
"Ok, then what kinds of moods make you want to draw certain things?"
"Shouldnt you be watching the movie?" She asked him.
"I gotta wait for the Popcorn to finish popping."
"Uh-huh, so I guess you arn't aware that it finnished doing that about two minutes ago huh?"
Cyborg looked up at the microwave which had indeed finnished cooking,
"Aw man! now it's probably gone cold!" He complained.
"Thats what usually happends when somthing stays in the same room as me for more then two minutes." Faith said casually.Cyborg raised an eyebrow at her and she shrugged,
"It's a curse, what can I say?"
"Somthing nice for a change perhaps?" Faith frowned at him and he grinned, glad to have gotten her back for those remarks earlier.
"Touche." Faith said, Cyborg grinned.
"So, your quite the reclusive person aren't you?" Cyborg asked.
"What makes you say that?" Faith asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The fact that even after three or four days we know absolutly nothing about you, apart from the fact that you dont like horror movies." He replied.
Faith sighed,
"Just because I happen to like my space doesnt mean i'm reclusive, it just takes me a while to get used to being around new people."
Cyborg frowned, then smiled at her sneakily,
"You dont seem to have trouble being around Jake as you spend more time with him then anyone else." Cyborg grinned at her.
Faith looked at him for a moment, then said,
"Well he's the only one who bothers to talk to me, everyone else just leaves me alone."
"So your saying that all we had to do to get you to be around more often, was talk to you?" Faith nodded.
"Well I guess that means you dont have trouble talking to me anymore right?"
"Thats right."
"So why dont you talk to Starfire as much? I'm sure she would have tried to talk to you by now." Cyborg asked.
"Actualy, she's respected my wishes to be alone and hasn't bothered me much." Faith said and looked over to the others, but quickly looked away as the movie had stared getting scary.
Cyborg looked over at the Tv longingly and then looked back at Faith, who smiled,
"Go watch your movie, I was about to go to my room anyway."
"You sure?"
"Yeah." Faith was avoiding looking at the Tv at all costs.
Cyborg grabbed the popcorn and rushed off, saying a quick "Thank's." before he left.
Faith stood up and walked to her room.
The movie was half finnished when Raven stood up,
"Okay, that's about as much as I can take, just let me know how it end's okay?"
The other Titan's nodded, unable to take their eye's off the screen.
Raven walked along the hall's of Titan's Tower heading to her room, jumping every now and then when she heard a sound.
"Not a fan of scary movies huh?"
Raven spun around and saw Faith leaning against the wall,
"It's okay to be scared, I dont care much for horror movies either."
"I'm not realy that scared of horror movies, it's just that one that get's to me." she replied, starting to calm down.
"Yeah well, I dont do well with any horror movies, I just never took to scary movies much."
"I dont blame you, you probably just havn't gotten used to horror yet."
"What about you?" Faith asked.
"I've had a chance to get to know horror, you live every day having to listen to Beastboy and you get used to it."
Faith smirked,
"That bad huh?"
"Have you heard one his jokes yet?"
Faith shook her head.
"Lucky."
Faith smiled again.
"So, how do like being a Titan so far?" Raven asked.
"It's okay I guess," Raven raised an eybrow.
Faith sighed,
"But I guess i'm just not used to working on a team, that's all."
"Did you fight crime before becoming a Titan?" Raven asked.
"Before? I'm barely fighting crime now." Faith muttered sourly.
"If your talking about the whole Slade incident, it's okay, Slade is a master criminal, he's been fighting against us for a few year's now, I wouldnt expect you to beat him when only first facing him."
"Gee, that totaly raises my spirit's, but to answer your question, no, I didnt fight crime before I came here, baisicly I just kept to myself."
"I know the feeling. I dont really spend that much time with the rest of the team anyway." Raven looked down the hallway toward's the living room.
"Reason for that being?"
Raven raised an eyebrow at her,
"What about you?"
"I asked you first."
"You spend less time with them than I do, you first."
Faith sighed,
"Well i'm new, I have an excuse to be reclusive."
Raven rolled her eye's.
"Riiight, well I just like to be by myself, I have a bit more peace and quiet then I do in the living room."
Faith nodded.
"So what are you doing out here anyway?"
Faith shrugged,
"Guess I was just thinking."
"Your room is good for that."
Faith just shrugged again and walked off.
Raven watched her walk off in direction of her room and decided to get back to her own.
At about eleven o clock the Titan's walked out the living room, all laughing, except for Jake who was pale and was deciding wheather or not to speak for the rest of his life.
"Dude that was so scary! They were right! Twenty times scarier than the original!" Beastboy said grinning.
"Yeah! I wanted to turn it off but then I wouldnt have known how it ended and I would have freaked out!" Cyborg said with a similar grin on his face.
Starfire smiled, glad that her friends were happy with the movie, but then she remembered somthing,
"Perhap's I should inform Raven of the conclusion so she will not be afraid?" She suggested.
"I dont know if that will work Star, Jake saw the end and he's as white as a ghost!" Robin said grinning.
"Hey!" Jake snapped out of his terrified trance and looked at them,
"I wasn't that scared!." He defended.
"Come on Jake! Even Faith can admit that she doesnt like horror movies!" Cyborg said.
Jake imedietly snapped out of it,
"Huh? I thought she was in her room."
"Well she came down and we talked for a bit."
Starfire looked at Cyborg,
"Then why did she not talk to us?"
"Like I said, she doesn't like horror very much, dunno why, the movie was awsome in my opinion!"
Starfire looked at them and then decided to tell Raven how the movie ended.
Raven had been meditating when she heard a knock on the door, she sighed and walked over to the door and opened it a crack.
"Hello Raven! I thought that you might want to know the conclusion of the movie!"
"Fine."
"There was much blood and the monster was advancing on..."
"Woah Woah! The reason I left was cause I didn't want to know that stuff!"
"Oh, I apologise, the monster was defeated and all was well, at least for now acording to Beastboy."
Raven sighed, she was really gonna get Beastboy for all this, why did he have to buy the movie anyway?
Starfire looked at Raven worried,
"Are you sure you will be okay? You seemed to be very frightened when you left us."
"I'll be fine, now if you'll excuse me I have to meditate."
Starfire nodded and walked off.
Faith was lying down on her bed staring up at the ceiling when she heard a knock on the door, she stood up and walked over to see who it was,
"Oh, hi Star."
"Hello new friend! I was wondering why you did not join us in the potatoing of the couch while viewing wonderfully frighting films and the snacking on the popped corn.."
Faith paused, as she still was a little confused when it came to understanding the green eyed girl, eventualy she said,
"I just dont like scary movies that's all."
"But why? For it was most entertaining!"
"I'm sure it was, but I just dont like Horror."
"Very well, would you like to tell me what sort of movies you do like so we can all be together next movie night?"
Faith thought about it for a while,
"I guess I like mystery, and thrillers, and I just cant say no to a good comedy, And that's about it I guess."
Starfire nodded,
"Very well, so will you join us in the next movie night?"
"I'll see what I can do."
Starfire frowned slightly,
"But we shall not be veiwing the Horror film, why would there be any reason to not join us?"
"Star I was kidding, of course I'll come."
Starfire beamed at her and somehow Faith felt her spirits lift, this girl's happiness was infectious.
"Well, g-night."
"Pleasent snorflacks!"
And Starfire flew off, with Faith looking after her confused,
"Snorflacks?"
Jake was lying down on his bed reading, but he could of read the same pargraph a hundred times, he just couldnt get somthing off his mind.
Eventualy he sighed, closed the book and placed iton his bedside table and stood up to walk out the door.
Cyborg was about to shut down when he heard a kock on his door, He stood up and walked over to open the door,
"Jake? Shouldnt you be asleep, that's what I'm trying to do."
"I cant, you guys where right, I cant get her out of my head."
Cyborg smirked at him,
"Fine, come in and we'll talk about it."
They walked into his room,
"Now first off, I'm flattered that you recognised my superior knowledge when it comes to the female side of our species but why didnt you just wake up Robin?"
Jake shrugged,
"He was talking to Starfire when I got there and I decided not to bother them."
Cyborg nodded,
"So anyway, What exactly is it you like about Faith anyway?"
Jake looked up at him,
"Please dont tease me about this but, everything."
Cyborg seriously looked like he was about to tease Jake big time but decided against it.
"Please elaborate, you like, everything about the girl?"
"Well, yeah, She's pretty, she's Smart, she is now starting to warm up to me and, I dunno, I just feel atracted to her."
"Not to mention her kick ass powers!"
"Yeah, that was cool, remember how scared Cindrblock had been?"
"Yeah! I wonder if she could've killed him if she wanted?"
"I reckon she could, but back on subject."
Cyborg nodded,
"Right, so you like her for who she is and not just because of her looks?"
Jake nodded and looked at the door.
"maybe you should just ask her out and if she says yes so you can finaly get some sleep!"
"But what if she says no?" Cyborg groaned,
"Man, you just gotta be confident, you where fine with confidence before she got here and...oh your realy serious about her arnt you?"
Jake bowed his head,
"I think so, this is weird, I dont usualy just see a girl and poof, I like her, It doesnt happen like that!"
"I know but, have you ever heard of love at first sight?"
"Yeah but come on, it just doesnt happen that way."
"Well then Cupids workin overtime aint he?"
Jake groaned and Cyborg grinned,
"Look, why dont you just get to know her a little more and then see what happends."
Jake looked up at him,
"But how?"
"Well I happen to know for a fact that she likes to draw, why dont you invite her to join you on a trip to an art gallery or somthing?"
"You just said it like that so it wouldn't sound like a date didnt you?" Cyborg grinned at him.
"Yup, but she doesnt have to know that, Robin and Star have started goin to that new art gallery downtown so you could just ask them if you two can go along so she doesnt get suspicious." Jake stared at him,
"You know that's actualy a good idea!"
"Yeah, unlike BB, i'm telling the truth when I say i'm good with the ladies!"
Jake grinned,
"You know you would get along just great with an old friend of mine, actualy I was thinking of calling him to see if he could give me some tip's." Jake thought for a while but then Cyborg yawned.
"Look, I would love to stay up and chat but I gotta recharge, and you should get some sleep too, you got a big day ahead of you." Jake looked up confused,
"Huh, what am I doing tomorrow?"
"Your askin Faith out to the art gallery and your gonna be confident about it too, now go to bed." And he pushed him out of his room before Jake could even contemplate this concept.
When Jake got back to his room he was slightly more at ease so he picked up his book, lay back down and began to read.
Well there you go! Another chapter done!
I'm thinking of putting some Robin Starfire hints in the next chapter but am completley hopless at their pairing so i'll need some advice if it's gonna be there.
Review please!
