Jump City's Saiyan
Chapter 2
Things last night were relaxing after they got settled back into their tower and Barbara and Kara got to know the others. Sadly though Gizmo and the others had stayed silent about Slade, leaving it up to them to find out more about later on.
Naruto took in a slow breath as he gradually woke up fully while he sat on the roof of the tower near the edge with a smile. No matter how long he's lived in the city like Metropolis or Jump city he still couldn't kick the habit of waking up before the sun rose due to being raised on a farm in Kansas. Though as the sun rose up from behind the mountains, illuminating the city, he figured it wasn't too bad of a habit to have.
"Ah I figured we'd find you here" Raven said behind him as he looked over his shoulder to see both her and Starfire walking out of the elevator, a worried look present on Starfire's face which alone wasn't normal.
"Yeah sorry I like to watch the sun rise as I meditate or really just in general. What's up you two and why does Star look so unlike Star?" Naruto asked as it was odd to see the usually smiling girl with a frown on her face.
"We could not get much sleep but not because there were biting bugs in the bed" Starfire said before Raven frowned a bit.
"We were both a bit worried about you after last night. That gold haired form was a surprise and you got angry to a level we've never seen from you so we were worried. What was that form anyways?" Raven asked as Naruto rubbed the back of his head and frowned a bit while in thought.
"I'm sorry, my Super Saiyan form does awaken my rage inside me but normally I'm good at keeping calm. I guess at the time I was just still upset about getting caught off guard and having a building collapse on me. I promise though I'm not usually that angry in that form if I have a calm mind when going into it" Naruto said as Starfire's frown lessened.
"I have never seen a Saiyan, the few times they had come to Tamaran, use a power like that. What exactly is it?" Starfire asked as Raven too was a bit curious.
"Well according to the files my birth parents left me in my pod before sending me to Earth as an infant it's a form a Saiyan can reach if they are strong enough and then loses themselves to a fit of rage. My dad only knew of it cause he was a researcher and read through some ancient Saiyan texts. It is mainly manifested by a great need at first like the need to defeat someone when the lives of others are in danger" he said as he frowned a bit.
"How did you awaken it? Sounds like it wasn't a good experience" Raven said as Naruto sighed and sat back down.
"I guess it wasn't but hey, it gave me the power to protect those closest to me" Naruto said with a smile before Starfire sat down in front of him.
"May we know the story of what made you awaken your power?" Starfire asked as Raven frowned.
"Star if it wasn't a good experience we really shouldn't ask to hear about it" Raven said before Naruto shook his head.
"No, it's fine. If this helps you two see that this form isn't a danger to any of you on the team then I'm fine with telling you" Naruto said, smiling up at Raven as he was glad she was willing to ensure his privacy wasn't being invaded or pushed upon.
"It started in Metropolis when I was about 14 or so," Naruto said as he recalled the day "Superman and I were dragged into one of Lex Luthor's ploys and this time it got too dangerous. Lex had built himself a suit of power armor that was powered by Kryptonite and he had beaten me down with it and was bringing Superman to near death by keeping some shards of it exposed to weaken him" Naruto said as he remembered watching it from his crater Lex had sent him down into.
"It also didn't help that he had a bunch of robot guards to keep anyone else who tried to help back. I just remember watching as Lex laughed maniacally with a spear made of Kryptonite in hand as he walked towards Superman, who was lying on the floor, bloodied and barely able to lift his head. I guess what woke it up in me was a need to protect my older brother, someone who was always there for me and understood me. I don't really remember much other than when I first woke it up but by the time I snapped out of it Kara and Barbara, who had been in the area and working to fight through Lex's defenses with the Batman and Robin at the time, were hugging me as Lex laid bloodied in front of me" Naruto said as he winced a bit at the memory.
"I had apparently been a bit ruthless in breaking his armor, which in my Super Saiyan state was no match for me, and after breaking it I didn't stop and kept attacking. Now I'm one of the few who are approved to end a villain's life if it means saving the immediate lives of others or others down the line but at the time I hadn't yet" Naruto said as he had only killed two villains so far that fit those requirements to do so.
Both of which oddly were villains of Batman.
"Superman had asked them to stop me as, being the brother he was, he didn't want my first to be one brought from pure rage and for me to be burdened by the guilt of it. Kara and Barbara though were able to snap me out of it as they weren't the target of my rage and friends of mine" Naruto said as he smiled towards them. "So while it does make me temperamental and quicker to become angry I can promise you that it will never be directed at you" he said as the two of them nodded.
"Do be careful though Naruto as seeing you angry is very unlike you" Starfire said before he leaned forward and gave her, and Raven's hands a squeeze which they returned as he looked at them.
"Yes and seeing you and Raven so worried and frowning is unlike you both as well. So how about we move off the somber topic and I make you both some breakfast since the others won't be up for a while" Naruto said as besides maybe Kara the others didn't wake up nearly this early though neither did Starfire normally.
"Yes! We can make the pancakes and waffles, both of various berries and chips with the whipped cream as well" Starfire said excitedly before she leapt forward and hugged him before floating up to her feet.
Naruto couldn't help but blush a bit as Star's ample chest was pressed against his while she hugged him happily. "S-Star for me to make them you have to let me go" Naruto said as he honestly hadn't gotten use to Starfire's hugs as she tended to not notice fully what she was doing at times or what they meant on Earth.
Though she was getting better at it as time went on.
"Oh! You are right! Let us go then" Starfire said before she grabbed his hand and flew off with him in tow, leaving Raven to sigh and follow after them.
"Starfire don't drag him around like that and please don't be so loud since people are still sleeping" Raven said as Starfire was already excitedly pulling out pots and pans to help out.
"But I wish to help with cooking" Starfire said with a pout as Naruto chuckled as he pulled himself off the ground where Starfire had left him after they entered the main living room.
"You can help Star but lets stick to Earth recipes as I don't think anyone other than maybe Kara and myself would be able to handle Tamaranean cuisine" Naruto said as Raven nodded.
"Yes please do keep it on Earth and not too noisy. If you need me I'll be reading over there" Raven said as she summoned a book with her magic and walked over towards the tables and seats opposite of the kitchen.
"Do you not wish to cook with us Raven?" Starfire asked while Raven shook her head and sat down on the couch seats at the table.
"I don't cook well at all, stuff tends to burn when I do so I'll sit out. I will take some blueberry pancakes though please" Raven said before she opened up her book and started to read.
"Got it, come on Star let's start with the batter and we can add in berries and chocolate chips for each batch" he said as pulled out a large bowl to start making the batter in.
"I know Robin likes plain pancakes, Beast Boy likes blueberry waffles, Cyborg likes chocolate waffles, Kara likes blueberry pancakes, and Barbara likes chocolate pancakes. And then add in Raven's blueberry pancakes and whichever ones you want this means we have a lot to make" Naruto said as Starfire nodded excitedly.
"We can make yours Tamaranean style if you want….and if we have ingredients" Naruto said as for the most of the time whenever he had seen her cook Tamaranean dishes they took a lot of ingredients to make.
"Oh thank you very much but I am content with these. I will make mine with blueberries, the chips, and other fruits I have found to be quite tasty" Starfire said with a happy smile before she started to help him make the batter.
As they started Naruto couldn't help but smile and laugh as Starfire's enthusiasm always led to a mess, this time resulting in batter getting all over the counters and themselves. Though like always he never minded considering more or less it was fun cooking with Starfire.
It was even enough for him to catch glimpses of smiles from Raven as she watched the two of them.
"Well morning you all, did the smell of breakfast wake you all up?" Naruto asked as people started to trickle in.
"Yeah and the noise to a lesser amount. Is making breakfast always this messy?" Kara asked as she floated over and scooped up some batter off his cheek with her finger and licked it off.
"I am sorry I just wanted to celebrate you both moving in and joining the team. New friends must be celebrated with the breakfast foods and more" Starfire said as she flew over to Kara and Barbara and handed them their pancakes.
"Oh well thanks Starfire, your definitely making us feel welcome" Barbara said with a smile as everyone started to sit down.
"Though you two should probably wash up" Cyborg said as Naruto looked at the mess they made with a chuckle.
"Yeah we probably should. How about you go first and I'll clean things up here first" Naruto said as Starfire nodded and wiped her face a bit with a nearby napkin.
"Yes that does sound good. Keep the food warm for I will be back" Starfire said before she flew off, careful not to let the batter drip off her.
Naruto, as he looked down at her food, couldn't help but find it a very Starfire-ish dish and raise an eyebrow at it. Starfire, like she did with food, went all out as he was sure he saw bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips, strawberries, and what he swore was watermelon in her waffles all with maple and blueberry syrup on top of it.
Though she did have nine stomachs so he doubted even this would be enough.
The rest of breakfast, after getting cleaned up, was nice. They continued to talk and both Kara and Barbara were sharing stories with the others before they noticed the time. "Oh man, we still need to hurry to get our stuff so we don't waste the day doing it at the last minute" Barbara said with a frown as Kara nodded.
"Though how are we going to get everything and bring it here without taking multiple trips?" Kara asked as Starfire floated up and rose her hand.
"Friend Raven and I can help" Starfire said as Raven sighed and closed her book.
"She's right as with my magic I can teleport it all back to the tower and even teleport you to where your stuff is without anyone noticing. It would save a lot of time" Raven said since as much as she found it tedious it was better than having everyone run back and forth moving things around.
"Thanks Raven, that really helps" Naruto said as he smiled at her before she flipped her hood up and stood up, looking away from him.
"Just let me put my book away and I guess we can go though I can only bring the person whose house I am going to and maybe Naruto with me. It's easier this way, after the first is done we'll do the next" Raven said as Kara and Barbara nodded while Raven went to put her book away.
"So with that not nearly going to take up as much time as I thought it was going to do you have any ideas for the rest of the day or do we just sit around until something happens?" Kara asked as Robin shook his head.
"Well there is a fair on boardwalk going on tonight from what I heard around town earlier this week. That could be fun and be a nice like official Titans get together to welcome our two new members Supergirl and Batgirl" Naruto said as the two girls smiled and nodded.
"Totally since fairs aren't really a big thing in either Gotham or Metropolis so it'll definitely be fun" Barbara said as Raven returned.
"Hey Raven we decided to go to the fair down on the boardwalk tonight, are you down for coming along?" Beast Boy asked as Raven frowned but looked around before sighing.
"Fine, sure I'll come along but don't expect much" she said as everyone cheered.
"I know things like this aren't your thing but thanks for agreeing to come along. It's more or less a welcome party for Barbara and Kara" Naruto whispered to Raven as the grey skinned girl nodded.
"I figured and it's fine as it's at night and I kind of do like the look of the city at night" she said before she stepped towards Barbara and Kara. "So which one of you is first?" she asked as honestly she just wanted to get this done quickly.
-A Few Hours Later-
Barbara's was first and, given how organized she was, they were able to bring her stuff back rather quickly in one trip due to being able to collect everything at once.
Kara on the other hand took a bit longer as she had things scattered around more, requiring his help more so than Barbara.
By the time the two of them had brought their things to the tower and unpacked the sun was starting to set, which all the Titans were excited for since that meant the fair.
"So do we change into our civilian clothes or what?" Barbara asked as she and Kara walked out of their rooms to find Naruto waiting for them as he leaned against the wall between their doors.
"We can stay in our outfits since the people of Jump City doesn't really crowd around us thankfully. Plus this allows us to be ready whenever. We still occasionally go out in civilian outfits but with people like Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast boy it's hard to really be incognito" he said as their skin color or odd features made it hard to hide themselves.
"Cool! Well what are we waiting for? Let's get going" Kara said as she seemed excited for the fair before flying off towards the elevator to take her to the front door on the first floor where the others were most likely waiting at.
"You know you are probably going to get dragged around the fair by us right?" Barbara asked with a smirk as they made their way after Kara while he nodded.
"Nothing I'm not use to. I mean you and Kara did that whenever you both were in Metropolis or whenever Kara dragged me to Gotham with her. This time there is just one additional hyper girl and one slightly apathetic one" he said before they were pulled into the elevator by an excited Kara.
"I am so going to win a ton of prizes at the stalls. Though I promise I'll hold back my strength or….Oh! You can win it for me" Kara said as she excitedly hugged Naruto's arm making him blush a bit at while Barbara merely smirked at the sight.
"Oh good! Are you ready to go my friends?" Starfire asked as the elevator doors opened and they walked out.
"Yup! Have you ever been to a fair Starfire?" Kara asked while the redhead shook her head.
"No this will be my first Earth fair but I am most thrilled for the candy of cotton and the rides I am told are there to enjoy" Starfire said as she bounced a bit in excited, making the other guys chuckle at.
"Well best not to stay waiting too long or else the lines will get long" Cyborg said as everyone nodded and headed out.
Of course to even get off their little island they had to fly across which ended up with Raven taxiing Cyborg across on a platform of magic, Naruto carrying Barbara, Starfire carrying Robin, while Beast Boy turned into a bird to fly alongside Kara.
They seemed to make it at just the right with how people were just starting to trickle in. "So where do we want to head first or are we just going to do our own thing and meet up if we want to do something?" Beast boy asked as Cyborg nodded.
"I'm checking out if any of these stands have barbeque and maybe try to win myself something. What about you guys?" Cyborg asked as Barbara quickly grabbed Naruto's arm.
"This guy is going to help me track down some bumper cars if anyone wants to come along" Barbara said as that piqued the interest of most of the Titans save for Raven.
"You all do that I'm going to go find somewhere to sit down" she said before the others quickly headed off towards the bumper cars.
The person in charge of the ride was a bit stunned to see the heroes of the city arrive but he was quick to recover and help find people their cars, which were thankfully nice sized to allow Cyborg to fit in as well.
"How do I bump the cars?" Starfire asked as she sat in the car nearby him.
"Star when the ride starts your car will move forward, just steer it and bump into the others. It won't hurt them as it's meant to be fun" he said as Starfire nodded, a little less confused. "Just watch me a bit and do what I do, okay?" he said making her nod again before the power turned on.
For the most part he was targeted by Barbara and Kara with a confused Starfire often bumping into him while he also targeted the three of them. Robin ended up also being the focus of Barbara while Beast Boy and Cyborg had their own rivalry going on during it.
All in all the first ride was pretty fun for them and started up the fun mood of the fair.
"Next I want to go win some things at the stalls the have here" Kara said as she rose her clenched fist with a fiery look in her eyes.
"I'm probably going to do the same but I'm going to make it a challenge between me and boy wonder here to see who can get the most rings on the bottles" Barbara said as she pulled away a reluctant looking Robin before Beast Boy and Cyborg went off most likely to find food.
"And I will seek out the candy of cotton and other fair food" Starfire said with a happy smile that made Naruto chuckle at before she flew off.
"Come on, I want a stuffed animal and you're going to win it for me" Kara said as she proceeded to drag Naruto to the closest stall that offered stuffed animals.
"That one! I want the rabbit" Kara said as she quickly found a stall with a prize she wanted, which ended up being a medium sized blonde rabbit that was wearing a light blue sundress and light brown sundress hat.
"Whoa there. I know about yours and Superman's strength. I'd be a fool to let you clean up my stall" the man attending to the stall said as Kara pouted.
"What about me? I'm not a Kryptonian and all we want is the rabbit" Naruto said as the man frowned, looked him over before sighing.
"Fine, but only one prize. Can't have you be taking everything from me" the man said as he accepted Naruto's three dollars and handed him three softballs. "I'll give you the rabbit if you can knock over two stacks of bottles with your three balls. Should be easy enough" the man quickly added as Naruto nodded.
He knew this game wasn't rigged, given that rigged games were more carnival or amusement parks type of thing. But as he tested the weight of the ball in his hands he knew it still would be difficult given how light the balls were compared to the six bottles stacked up in each pyramid.
"Come on I know you can do it" Kara cheered as she excitedly watched from beside him.
He narrowed his eyes in focus as he threw the first ball at the bottom row of the stack which went perfectly as it was able to bring it tumbling down and even ensure the bottom row was completely knocked over.
The second stack, like the first, fell over as well as he had to use the last remaining soft ball to ensure the bottom row was completely down.
"Well congrats. Enjoy the prize and the rest of the fair" the man said with a smile as he handed Kara the rabbit which she happily hugged.
"I am so going to show this to Batgirl, I'll catch up with you later" Kara said before she excitedly flew off to show off her prize.
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle before started to make his way through the fair, choosing to walk past Beast Boy and Cyborg as they pigged out on corn and chicken drumsticks respectively. "So have you done anything here so far?" Naruto asked as he found Raven sitting along on a bench under a light pole.
"Fairs aren't my thing. I like just relaxing and not being bothered. I came with because it was a team thing" she said while Naruto frowned a bit. He understood and respected her habit of keeping to herself but at the same time he always tried to gently pull her out of her comfort zone when it was possible in safe scenarios like this.
"I know but hey, let's at least get you a souvenir. I think I saw another prize booth around with some cool stuff" Naruto said as he offered her his hand.
"Really?" she asked with a raised brow as he smiled at her.
"Come on you can at least do this for me right? It's just one booth and just a prize. Not like I'm going to drag you through the whole fair" he pointed out making her sigh and nod before she accepted his hand and let him help her up.
"It was actually a pretty cool looking stall that caught my eye as I walked around. It seemed like one of those stall games where you have to shoot the prize off with a bb-gun" Naruto said as they arrived at the stall.
The stall was mainly an opened back three part shelf with various prizes on it from small plushies to snacks sitting on them with two bb-guns attached to the stall via metal wires so people didn't run off with them.
"How much for a go at this stall?" Naruto asked as he unzipped his back pocket and pulled his wallet out from his back pocket.
"Five dollars and you get ten full power shots to knock anything over. You don't have to knock the thing off but only make it fall over. You can even win multiple prizes if you are skilled enough" the man said as Naruto handed the man the five dollars.
"The gun is loaded already with the ten pellets and it takes five pumps for full power. Shoot away" the man said as Naruto started to pump up the bb-gun.
"So what prize do you want? I was thinking the little black bird near the top" Naruto said as Raven looked over to see what looked to be a blue eyes black plump bird sitting near the top corner of the highest shelf.
"Really? A raven?" Raven asked as Naruto chuckled.
"What it looks cute and it'd go well in your room unlike something more brightly colored" Naruto said while Raven just rolled her eyes.
"Sure it doesn't look tacky so I guess it's okay" Raven said as she watched him take aim before firing, hitting the bird near the top of its head which surprisingly made it tip backwards.
"I knew all that time shooting things off the fence in Kansas would pay off" Naruto said with a smirk as he had a lot of practice with bb-guns given when on a farm in Kansas there wasn't much to do so you had to make things to do.
Which is why he often would borrow Clark's old bb-gun and practice his aim and other various trick shots.
"Now what do you think Star and Batgirl would like?" Naruto asked as the stall owner took down the raven plushy, most likely waiting to give it to them after they finished.
"I guess Star would like the cat while maybe Batgirl would like the dog" Raven said unsure as she noticed a corgi with a purple headband and the orange tabby cat with a pink bow on its ear and tail.
Naruto frowned a bit as he looked over the two plushies while he pumped up the bb-gun again. The corgi looked like it was going to be the toughest due to already lying down but with nine shots he definitely should be able to get them both.
The cat took only two shots, one to turn it and the next to knock it over while the dog took five shots with each slowly moving it until it slid off.
"You can keep the last two shots as I think it's fair" Naruto said as he accepted the three plushies from the man.
"That was some really good shooting there, enjoy your prizes and the rest of the fair" the man said as they walked away, Naruto carrying the ones for Barbara and Starfire while Raven held hers and looked it over.
"See? Was getting a souvenir that bad?" he asked while Raven shook her head.
"I guess not but I'm going back to my spot if that's okay with you" she said as he nodded.
"Of course, enjoy the rest of the fair in your own way" Naruto said with a smile as Raven smiled ever so slightly up at him before looking away and heading off back towards her bench.
"Friend Naruto! I have found the candy of cotton and it is most enjoyable" Starfire said excitedly as she quickly flew over to him, having found him after he walked around on his own a bit.
"Oh I'm glad you like cotton candy Starfire, I figured you would" he said with a chuckle as he watched her pull apart pieces from a rather large pink collection of it on a white cone stick. "How have you been enjoying the fair so far?" he asked as he continued to watch her pull off pieces of cotton candy and enjoy the pure sugar treat.
"I am enjoying it very much. Everything is so friendly and enjoyable" Starfire said as Naruto smiled and held out the cat towards her.
"Well I'm glad, consider this a little gift or souvenir as this is your first fair so I want it so you remember it" Naruto said before he braced himself as Starfire dove at him for a hug.
"That is most kind of you Naruto, the cat is most adorable" Starfire said as he hugged her back with a chuckle before she pulled away and happily hugged the cat close to her while Barbara and Robin walked over to them.
"How did your match go Batgirl?" he asked as he noticed Barbara's proud smile and Robin's upset look before his question made Barbara's smile grow and Robin let out a groan.
"It went as well as Robin here is displaying also known as me winning" Barbara said as she ruffled Robin's hair. "Though sadly they didn't give us a prize considering who we are" she added with a pout before Naruto held out the corgi towards her.
"Then good thing I won you this at least" he said as Barbara smiled and accepted it from his hands.
"Aww thanks Naru, that's so sweet of you" Barbara said as she quickly gave him a hug with a happy smile. "So what do you think you are going to do next?" Barbara asked as she pulled away, looking over the cute corgi Naruto had gotten her.
"I don't know, Star you want to go somewhere specifically?" he asked as he wanted Star to enjoy the fair besides the food.
"Oh! I saw this one wheel that I thought looked most interesting. Will you join me on it?" Starfire asked as she pointed towards the Ferris wheel at the end of the pier.
"A Ferris wheel? Sure, those are nice and relaxing plus you get a great view from it" he said while Starfire grew a happy smile and hugged his arm. "Here Barbara, can you hold her stuffed animal?" he asked before Barbara nodded.
"Sure thing, hope you two enjoy the Ferris wheel" Barbara said as Starfire nodded, still hugging onto his arm.
"We will as it looks very fun" Starfire said before she started to drag Naruto towards it while he made himself fly a bit to make it easier for her.
"Ah you two want to get on? Your just in time as the fireworks are going to start, giving you two a perfect and romantic view" the man in charge of the wheel said Naruto blushed a bit while Starfire turned her head to the side in confusion.
"Naruto what does he mean by romantic view? And what are fireworks?" Starfire asked as Naruto coughed into his fist.
"Don't worry about the first part," he said as a part of him wanted to glare at the man for bringing it as he chuckled at them "but fireworks are a kind of celebration thing and while they are a bit loud they are pretty" Naruto said as the man quickly brought down the empty number nine car for them to sit in.
"Enjoy the ride you two, I'll even stop it at the top just for you two" the man teased as Starfire was once again confused before the car started to move.
Naruto found himself smiling as he watched the amazed look of enjoyment on Starfire's face as they slowly made their way around the wheel and she found the view of the ocean amazing.
"This is very wondrous, I am very glad I asked you to come with me" Starfire said as she smiled over to him which made him smile more.
"Of course Starfire, I'm glad you're enjoying it" he said before it paused just as they got to the top and the fireworks started to fly into the air and go off.
"Wow, they are so beautiful but on my home planet explosions like these would mean the Gordanians were attacking are you sure the Earth is not under attack?" Starfire asked as Naruto nodded.
"I assure you the Earth isn't under attack so relax and enjoy the sight Star" Naruto said with a smile before she leaned forward, resting her elbows on the car and started to stare at the fireworks again, enthralled by the sight and colors of them.
She continued to watch before he noticed her peering over the edge and blushing a bit until he looked and saw the couple below them were kissing. "Is this somewhere people on Earth go to do the kissing?" Starfire asked as she had learnt what kisses on Earth meant, which made her a bit embarrassed.
"Yeah it is a romantic place for couples I guess but it's also a ride people like to go on to see the view" he said as she nodded.
"Kissing is so different on Tamaran than it is here on Earth. On Tamaran it is to transfer knowledge while on Earth it is….romantic" Starfire said as she squirmed a bit beside him. "I am still sorry for how we first met…." she muttered before he chuckled and rubbed her back.
"You mean how you pulled me towards you by the collar of my shirt and kissed me to learn English?" he asked as she nodded with a blush. "It's honestly okay Starfire and hey, it let me talk and get to know you personally so in the end I'm fine with it" he said, blushing a bit himself as he remembered just how surprisingly deep that kiss was with Starfire.
At first he remembered being shocked and stunned as the random alien girl, newly freed from her cuffs, pulled him in for that kiss. Later he learned that was how Tamaranean learnt new languages but at the time he was incredibly flustered by it all.
"I am glad, I am still learning Earth customs but…is this one where the kissing is okay?" she asked as she scooted a bit closer to him.
Naruto though was bright red as he stared at Starfire, trying to swallow what little saliva he had to wet his dry throat. "I uh, I guess" Naruto stammered out as he moved closer, the sound of the firework's finale filling his ears as its light lit up the also blushing Tamaranean's face.
But, just before they could get close enough to kiss, Naruto was pushed back as something shot past them and grabbed Starfire. As he watched her fly off he noticed the thing that grabbed her was a pink robotic squid of sorts.
"Naruto!" she yelled as he widened his eyes at her before narrowing them and gritting his teeth.
"I'm coming Starfire!" he yelled as he leapt off the Ferris wheel and quickly flew after Starfire. He frowned as at the angle it was flying off with Starfire he couldn't really blast it without the danger of possibly hurting Starfire.
He sped up, quickly catching Starfire in a princess carry as she was able to free herself with a star bolt. "Are you okay Star?" he asked as she nodded.
"I am okay but it is coming back" Star said as Naruto nodded with a frown.
"Hold onto me as I'm going to finish it off" Naruto said as Star wrapped her arms around his neck, allowing him to free one of his hands as the squid turned around.
Naruto summoned an orb of ki in his hand before it grew bigger and started to flatten, spin, and grow into the shape of a curved X like a shuriken.* "This is what you get for trying to kidnap my friend, Windmill Cutter!" he yelled as he threw the spinning blade of ki.
The attack was faster than the squid could evade and they watched as it tore through it and split it in half. He quickly moved his arm back to hold onto Starfire as he braced himself as the squid exploded with shockwave.
"Thank you Naruto, thank you for chasing after me" Starfire said as she buried her head in the crook of his neck.
"Of course Star, I would never let one of my friends be taken like that" Naruto said as he carefully pulled out his communicator, making sure not to jostle Star too much.
"Come in Titans" Naruto said as images of the others popped up on the screen.
"What is it Naruto and why does it look like your carrying Starfire?" Robin asked as Naruto frowned a bit.
"Something just tried to kidnap Starfire. It was some pink flying robot squid, no joke. I'm heading back to the Tower with Starfire, come back when you guys want" Naruto said while most of them nodded.
"We'll meet you there, is Starfire okay?" Barbara asked as Star nodded but kept her face in the crook of his neck.
"She's a bit shaken up but safe. I was able to save her before it got too far away or was able to hurt her. I'll meet you all back at the Tower" Naruto said before he hung up, slipped the communicator back onto his belt and started to make his way back to the tower.
As they got back the others were not far behind, thankfully though once back in the Tower Starfire had relaxed and started to return to her cheerful self.
"The fair was fun and all, despite the kidnapping. Are you sure you don't want to head to bed?" Cyborg asked as Starfire shook her head.
"No I wish to continue to spend time with my friends. And to thank Naruto for my rescue I will recite the poem of gratitude, all 6,000 verses" Starfire said as everyone's eyes went wide and looked at Naruto.
"Well I might as well make some coffee beforehand" Naruto said as if this was a Tamaranean thing of hers he might as well accept it.
"Really dude? You're going to sit through all that?" Beast Boy asked as Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"It's an alien thing of her race, I have to respect it. Just like you all respect my 'no going out on a full moon' condition I have" Naruto said as he might not have told them what happens to him but they still accepted it. Though as he made his way to the kitchen he paused as a chuckle sounded out behind them.
The mere sight of the woman put the others on guard before Starfire happily squealed and dove towards the woman and wrapped her in a tight hug.
The woman looked similar to Starfire in terms orange skin and outfit theme. This woman though had long dark purple hair that was pretty close to black, her eyes were missing Star's green as they looked the normal white with dark purple irises like her hair.
Her outfit was a small black sleeveless top that accented her large chest that was easily an H cup and a black short skirt, her skin covered with a sleek silver long sleeved shirt and silver spats under her skirt. Her outfit shared the collar, bracelets, and long thigh high boots as Starfire while her boots were black like the rest of her outfit.
He also noticed a green gem around her neck which he could feel energy radiating off it while it amplified hers.
"Sister! It is so nice to see you again!" Starfire squealed as they hugged before the woman gently pushed Star away, holding up a finger as if to say 'one moment' and walked over towards Naruto.
Naruto rose an eyebrow at her, unsure of why she was heading his way before the woman pulled him in by the collar of his shirt and trapped him in a deep kiss. This one, unlike Star's when they first met, was much, much deeper and he was visibly stunned as the woman worker her tongue into his mouth.
"Ah that is much better, I have to say while I should have done that sooner I'm glad I waited" the woman purred out as she pulled away from the kiss, smirking at the dark blush on Naruto's face before Starfire quickly got in between the two of them and cleared her throat.
"Is that a Centauri moon diamond? Where did you get it?" Starfire asked, her tone a bit strained as she changed the topic and pointed towards the green gem around the woman's neck.
"On the Centauri moons, it came in handy getting here" she said before Starfire clapped her hands.
"Oh you must meet my friends! Come!" Starfire said as she drug her sister away from Naruto and towards the others. "Friends this is my big sister" she introduced as the woman stepped forward.
"My name is Komand'r but you can call me Blackfire. Now Star told me all about the Titans in her transmissions, although it seems you got some new ones. Now let me guess each of you" Blackfire said as she walked over to Cyborg first.
"Cyborg right?" she asked as Cyborg nodded and held out his hand.
"Please to meet you little lady" he said with a smile as Blackfire shook it, the sound of crushing metal sounding out as Cyborg held up his now crushed hand. "Little lady, big handshake well alright" he said impressed before she walked over to Raven.
"Raven. I like that gemstone on your Ajna chakra" Blackfire said making Raven smile a bit as the only other person around that knew of chakras was Naruto from him being one to meditate as well.
"You know about chakras?" she asked as Blackfire nodded.
"I got way into meditation on Altara Prime. We'll have to do a bit while I'm here" Blackfire said making Raven's small smile grow a bit before moving onto the next in line.
"Beast boy! What's up?" she asked making Beast boy smirk.
"Nothing but the ceiling baby" he joked making Blackfire chuckle and laugh.
"Good one!" she said as Beast boy leaned towards Raven.
"See? She thinks I'm funny" Beast boy pointed out as Raven sighed.
"Statistically I suppose someone has to" Raven said with a flat face making Beast boy deflate before he heard Naruto laugh which made him grumble a bit.
"You must be Robin. I do have to say I am loving this cape" Blackfire said as she zipped behind him and held it up for her too look at.
"Thanks, it's a high-density polymerized titanium. Ten times stronger than steel" Robin said while Blackfire nodded and floated over to Naruto he was standing in the kitchen with a cup of coffee as he had been expecting to stay up through Starfire's poem.
"That means the one I kissed must be Naruto, the Saiyan I heard so much about from Starfire. It is a rarity to see one of your kind that isn't a savage" Blackfire said before covering her mouth embarrassed. "I didn't mean it like-don't worry" Naruto interrupted her with a smile.
"Trust me I know from my parent's logs that Saiyans are brutes but thankfully I didn't inherit that. It is very nice to meet you Blackfire as family of a team member is always welcome" Naruto said as he shook her hand.
"I'm surprised you weren't too shocked from my kiss, was it not powerful enough?" she teased with a mock pout as Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh trust me I was shocked and it was powerful, just Starfire did the same when we first met….although without tongue" he muttered the last bit more to himself as Blackfire smiled and Starfire pouted behind them.
"I have to say though I would love to get a match in with you. Fighting a Saiyan was always a rewarding experience as I remember watching our fighters spar against your kind and it was always a marvel" Blackfire said, smiling at him as she leaned a bit closer to him.
"Well maybe tomorrow we can" Naruto said before he heard Barbara clear her throat as Starfire squirmed nervously behind him.
"Oh yeah you probably don't know these two as they just became Titans but these two," he said as he motioned towards the two of them "are Batgirl and Supergirl. Batgirl is human while Supergirl is Kryptonian" Naruto said as Blackfire smiled towards the two of them.
"It is very nice to meet you two" she said as they nodded.
"Yeah always nice to meet new people" Barbara said as Starfire scooted closer in between him and Blackfire.
"So beloved sister what brings you to Earth?" Starfire asked as Blackfire stepped back and shrugged her shoulders.
"I was in the quadrant. Thought I'd see if Earthlings like to party" Blackfire said before she hopped over and onto the couch. "Besides I needed a rest. First I crashed landed on the moons of Centauri and with no way out I had to scour it for a diamond to help me get here. Then on my way here I nearly get sucked into a black hole" Blackfire mentioned offhandedly, causing the guys, except Naruto, to rush over and gush over her story.
"Well I'm sure we have a spare room for you to use while you're here. It'll be a bit basic in terms of décor but it'll do" Naruto said as he put his coffee down and stood up, not one too interested in space flight give any full bodied planet or moon would mess with him dangerously.
"Oh great! Give me a sec and you can show me the way" Blackfire said, taking a pause in her story to smile towards Naruto.
"So Naruto, did you enjoy her kiss?" Barbara asked as she appeared suddenly behind him, causing him to jump a bit.
"W-What? I-I don't know if I exactly did like it cause it all happened so fast" Naruto stammered out as Kara gave him a dry look while Barbara merely rubbed her chin in thought before walking off.
All in all he felt Blackfire was going to shake things up in the tower for sure.
-The Next Day-
Naruto grunted as he continued to do pushups under 20 times Earth's gravity, the first morning after Blackfire came to stay with them was interesting to say the least.
She had ended up taking the bedroom across the hall from his and she fit in rather well with most of the Titans. She played games with Beast boy and Cyborg, went to a poetry reading with Raven, and even sparred with Robin and Batgirl. She even got along with Kara as Blackfire found she shared an enjoyment of action movies.
All in all she seemed like a nice girl but he could quickly tell Starfire was feeling replaced.
"Friend Naruto? Have you seen Blackfire?" Starfire asked as while he lifted up to see her float over to the gravity chamber.
"Can't say I have, sorry Star" he said before she frowned.
"Oh I see…would you like to do the hanging out?" she asked as she nervously rubbed her arm.
"Sure, I've been working out like all morning and I could use a break" he said once he turned off the chamber and walked out.
"Oh much joy!" Starfire cheered as she flew towards him to hug him which he returned.
"Are you okay there Star? You're hugging tighter than usual" he groaned out as he patted her on the back.
"I am mot sorry it is just….your sister making you feel left out?" he completed for her making her frown as she slowly pulled away from him.
"Look you aren't being replaced I promise. If anything I'd say your sister is just wanting to get to know your friends" Naruto said as Star nodded and he gave her shoulders a reassuring squeeze.
"You are right my friend. Let us go spend time with the others and bond over the movies!" Starfire said with her mood relit from her previous saddened mood.
"Movies sound good, let's go get the others" Naruto said before he was once again pulled away by Starfire, something he figured she tended to do when excited, towards the living room.
"Friends! I come with Naruto with the offer of a movie night. We may get the non-cotton candies and the popcorn to enjoy the movies" Starfire said as the others turned around.
"A movie night actually sounds really fun Star. We can do a marathon since I doubt we'd all be able to agree on one movie" Kara said before the doors behind them opened.
"Forget the flicks kid, we're going out!" Blackfire declared as she stood with her arms out, showing off her new outfit that was like her last only minus the silver shirt and spats underneath. Her bracelets had also changed into a pair of gauntlets that were missing the finger up to a bit under the second knuckle with her boots now only being calf high just below her knees.
Naruto also noticed the moon diamond was no embedded in where the normal jewel on her collar thing was normally located.
"I heard about a party downtown with a cool crowd and hot music" Blackfire said as the boys nodded and agreed with her idea.
"And it's in a creep rundown warehouse" she added getting Raven's attention.
"Whoa what about Starfire's movie night?" Barbara asked as Robin frowned.
"Consider this Blackfire's welcome party of sorts. Plus we should make her feel welcome" Robin said before he looked over at Starfire. "You're okay with that right?" he asked as before she could even answer Beast boy pipped in.
"Of course she is, come on it'll be fun" Beast boy said before he and the other guys as well as Raven headed towards the door.
"Look I'm sorry Star but since dancing isn't my kind of thing I'll at least stick by you" Naruto said as Starfire smiled and nodded before walking off with Barbara.
"Are you sure you're okay going along Naruto? It is getting close to a full moon" Kara said worriedly as she held Naruto back for a bit before he nodded.
"I should be fine as it isn't a real full moon so as long as I don't stare or anything I'll be fine. Plus I have these to help" Naruto said as he pulled out a pair of black sunglasses.
"Well just be careful, I've seen the log of what would happen if you stared at the moon too long when full and we don't need that. Plus I don't want to have to cut off your tail…its cute" she said making Naruto chuckle as he put the glasses on and rose them onto his forehead.
"I'll be careful I promise. These were made to help me after all" Naruto said as Blackfire floated back in.
"Come on you two, don't fall behind" Blackfire teased before she floated over and hugged onto Naruto's arm before pulling him along.
"Fine, we're coming I guess" Kara said as she followed after them.
-Warehouse-
By the time they arrived at the warehouse Naruto was already feeling on edge as while not a full moon it was dangerously close. The glasses he had could protect him from some of the Blutz waves the incomplete full moon gave off.
They though were virtually useless under an actual full moon due to how powerful it was for him.
"This place is a headache waiting to happen. I'm going to find a non-spiked drink and find somewhere to sit" Naruto said with a groan before Blackfire hugged his arm.
"Aww don't be like that, come on and dance a bit" Blackfire said as she pulled him along into the middle of the dance floor, the people around them moving out of the way while Naruto lost track of the others.
"Why haven't you hung out with me much today? I didn't see you all day" Blackfire said as she hovered in front of him and danced, swaying her body and hips to the music.
"I mainly train in the afternoon, especially on days nearing full moons since I don't really go out on full moons" Naruto said as he tried to dance with her since dancing wasn't really his thing. Sure his mom taught him how to mainly do a waltz style dance but that was about it.
"You take the fighting thing seriously, must be the Saiyan in you" she said as she floated around him, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind. "Though can't say I don't like a powerful man" she whispered into his ear making him blush a bit before he nervously slipped through her arms.
"I'm sorry, I'll be right back. I got to get something to drink" Naruto said as he hurried off, wanting to get out from under the moon's light as it shone through the skylight.
As he got to the top of the stair well he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he got out of the moon's light. He didn't have anything against Blackfire, he really didn't as his time with the girl were always filled with some flirty undertone but in this atmosphere with the moon it was going haywire on his emotions.
"Naruto? Are you okay?" Starfire asked, bringing him out of his daze as he saw her at the bottom of the stairs with a frown on her face.
"Oh yeah I'm okay, the moon is just a bit much right now" Naruto said as Starfire's frown deepened while she hovered up towards him and sat next to him.
"Do you wish to return home?" she asked, placing her hand on his upper arm which made him smile.
"I'm fine, this is a thing for your sister and she seems to be all for it. Might as well tough it out. Thanks for worrying about me though" Naruto said as he put his hand over hers and gave it a soft squeeze. "How are you handling the club scene?" he asked as she sighed.
"It is very much. I don't think it is for me" she said, leaning against him with her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah I figured since you aren't the club kind of girl. Too pure and sweet for it" he said with a chuckle making her smile softly.
"I am glad you at least do not seem to have replaced me with my sister" Starfire said as he frowned and reached his arm over her shoulder, giving it a squeeze as he brought her closer.
"The others aren't replacing your Starfire, I think they are just caught up in her tales of her adventures. Give them time to settle down and they'll calm down and if they don't I'll beat some sense into them with Barbara and Kara helping" Naruto said, smiling as Starfire's frown turned into a soft smile.
"Thank you Naruto. I am going to get the fresh air" Starfire said as she stood up with a smile.
"Just be safe okay? With that squid thing I'm a bit worried there might be more" he said before Starfire nodded with a smile.
"I will be vigilant and…thanks again" she said as she quickly leaned down to kiss his cheek before flying up the stairs.
Naruto blushed a bit as he held his hand up to his cheek, surprised by the kiss before he heard a throat clear from down at the bottom of the stairs.
"Getting a drink eh?" Blackfire asked as she stared up at him from the bottom of the stairs with a frown.
"I'm sorry it's just the moon is getting difficult for me. I had to get out from under it" Naruto said as Blackfire frowned but nodded as she hovered up and over to him.
"And then my sister joined you and you two flirted?" she asked as she crossed her arms with a frown.
"I wouldn't say flirted, I more like I consoled her as she was worried about something" Naruto said with a frown as Blackfire only seemed to get frustrated at it.
"Is this why you haven't flirted back with me? Because you like my sister more?" Blackfire asked as Naruto's blush rose up and he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
"L-Look it's not that I don't like you or anything it's just I guess confident women like you somewhat put me back" Naruto said with a chuckle as Blackfire frowned and sat herself down next to him, pulling her legs in close to her and burying her head in them.
"Guess that's why people love my sister more. She's more docile and sweet so of course people like her more….even my own people like her more than her. I shouldn't be surprised it's like this on Earth as well" Blackfire muttered into her legs as Naruto frowned, unsure of what to do before he starts to rub her back consolingly.
"Look Blackfire, I may not know how things are on Tamaran but on Earth things are fresh for you, no shadows to be stuck under and no preconceptions. And it's funny you say that as Starfire was more worried about her friends loving you more than her and forgetting her" Naruto said with a chuckle as Blackfire turned her head slightly, just enough to let one eye look at him.
"Really?" she asked as Naruto nodded.
"Yeah that's what we were talking about a bit before we came here and then just a second ago. So again I don't know how it is on your home planet but things are and can be different here" Naruto said making Blackfire frown as she sat up a bit, still hugging her legs.
"Do you want to know how things are on there?" she asked, looking at him with worry in her eyes.
"If you are okay with it but if you aren't don't push yourself" Naruto said since the last thing he wanted was to make her go out of her comfort zone with a sore topic.
"When I was born on Tamaran…there was an attack on a western city. An empire called the Citadel Empire attacked and killed thousands of Tamaraneans and claimed it in my name as I was the first princess born in over a hundred years. People forever linked me with that day and to make things worse when I was young I was struck ill and it left me unable to fly at all and even now my flight isn't as strong requiring me to need enhancing tech or stones to help me fly in space since…I had to be experimented on to allow me to fly at all" she said, cringing a bit at the undoubtedly horrible memory.
"Ever since I was born my people have hated me, they denied me my birthright and refused to allow me to be princess so when Koriand'r, I mean Starfire, was born they were quick to give them all to her" Blackfire said, clenching her hands and somewhat digging her nails into her boots.
"Even to this day I have this deep-seated hatred towards Starfire but…no matter how much I try…I can't really hate her" she said as tears started to gather in her eyes.
"Star, for as long as I can remember, has been my biggest fan. She encourages me and cheers me on and thinks I'm perfect despite me feeling this way towards her….I must be terrible" Blackfire said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks that trickled down.
Blackfire widened her eyes slightly as Naruto draped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to her. "Honestly I'm not in a position to really offer you advice but the bit I can offer is to talk to Starfire. Bare your soul to her like you did to me and I can assure you she'll only love and care for you more" Naruto said as he gave her shoulder a squeeze, smiling as she rested her head against his shoulder.
"Starfire loves you Blackfire and I doubt she'll stop loving you. Just talk with her and she will listen and be there for you" he added, making her chuckle and wipe her tears more.
"You really are kind hearted unlike most Saiyans" Blackfire said as Naruto stood up, gently helping her up as well.
"Well that's good to know now go talk to her, she's up on the roof and would love the company" he said while Blackfire nodded before she wrapped him up in a hug.
"Thank you Naruto, you're the first I've ever told all of this to and I guess…I'm glad I gave you that kiss even more" Blackfire said as she looked him in the eyes, slowly moving her lips closer to his while he didn't move and was ready to accept it.
But just before their lips met, seemingly like a trend as the universe seemed to be hating him at the moment, another squid burst through the wall and crashed into the both of them and pulled them along out into the side alley of the warehouse.
"You guys again! You have the worst timing!" Naruto yelled as he pointed his hand in the form of a gun up at it. "Ki Cannon!" he yelled before the squid quickly let him and Blackfire go, causing his attack to miss and them both to skid on the concrete below.
"You know these things?" Blackfire asked as she summoned her black star bolts in her hands while Naruto nodded.
"Yeah it tried to grab Starfire last night at a fair and I destroyed it. There must be more" Naruto said before they heard Starfire's scream and another one shot down with her in tow before crashing into Blackfire.
Blackfire though was ready as she planted her feet and caught it, digging her star bolt shrouded hands into it. "Hey ugly! Let go of my sister!" Blackfire roared as she dug her fingers into the top of its head, causing sparks to come out before it let Starfire go and Blackfire threw it up so it could explode safely.
"Are you okay Starfire?" Blackfire asked as Starfire nodded before she pointed behind her just before another crashed into them.
Blackfire tried to struggle as it bound them both up tightly to the point it was hard to even breathe. "N-Naruto" Blackfire choked out as she could see another having smacked Naruto into the wall with a hard slap causing him to embed into it.
"I'm coming, hold on you two!" Naruto groaned out with a glare as he watched the squid electrocute the two of them, knocking them out before tossing them in a nearby dumpster which the two remaining squids proceeded to pick up.
"Y-You aren't getting away!" Naruto roared as he pulled himself out of the wall and his aura flared around him with his hands glowing brightly, not even noticing as the other Titans hurried out into the alley.
"Let them go!" he yelled as he aimed his hands up towards the squids. "Blast Barrage!" he roared before he unleashed, in rapid succession, blast after blast from both his hands towards the squids. He poured his rage into the blasts as he roared during the attack, each blast fueled to be much stronger than his average Ki blast.
Kara, knowing this attack before, quickly pushed the others out of the line of fire as the blasts tore apart the alley way and honed in on the squids as not to endanger the two sisters. The blasts mercilessly tore through them allowing the dumpster to fall back down unharmed while Naruto panted from the exertion he put forth for the attack as well as the anger he unleashed.
"Fucking squids" Naruto panted as he walked over, uncaring for the occasion rubble dropping near him, and opened the dumpster. "Are you two okay?" he asked as he hopped in, uncaring for the garbage before the two of them woke up and smiled at him.
"Yes I am, thank you" Starfire said while Blackfire nodded along.
"Let's get back to the tower, who knows if there are more" Naruto said as he helped them up and out of the dumpster.
"Starfire! Blackfire! Are you okay?" Robin asked as the team rushed over to them while Barbara quickly rushed to Naruto.
"What about you? Are you okay?" she asked while Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, lets just hurry back as the moon is getting dangerous as it's making me more and more angry" Naruto said before Barbara handed him another pair of glasses. "Gotta love that belt" he said with a smirk as he slipped them back on.
Once back at the tower Blackfire and Starfire quickly decided to take a shower to wash the garbage smell off them. Naruto though sat in the living room with a frown as he practiced his deep breathing to get his anger under control.
"I don't get it. How have these things been able to track down both Starfire and Blackfire? And just what are these things?" he asked half to himself and half to the Titans around him.
"I have no idea. With Starfire it happened at the pier on the Ferris wheel while it tore through a building to get to Blackfire. It can either hone in on Tamaranean DNA or its tracking something but that doesn't make sense" Barbara spoke out loud as her training with Batman made her a rather good detective.
"They might be able to track Tamaranean energy like how Naruto can track people's Ki but I can't really know since all of them were destroyed into scrap metal" Cyborg said as they nodded.
"For now we need to be cautious as I feel those squids were jut drones and they have to have someone commanding them. For now neither Starfire nor Blackfire leave the tower" Robin said as everyone nodded.
"I also can't leave the tower for the next few days, at least until the moon wanes a bit more. I'll be out of commission for about a week since the moon is dangerously full three days before and after a full moon" Naruto said as he could feel himself getting to dangerous levels in the alley way from the light the moon gave off meaning if he looked at the moon directly it could spell danger.
"Why is that? I mean you've mentioned it before but never explained. Are you a werewolf or something?" Beast boy joked as Naruto sighed.
"Something like that but I don't want to talk about it" he replied with a frown before he got up, Kara and Barbara sending Beast boy a scolding look that made the green boy flinch. "I'm going to go check on them, I'll be back with them" he said as he left the living room.
As he made his way to their rooms, figuring their showers were over, he smiled as they walked out. "Great timing girls, we are all hanging out in the living room and we need to talk about what all has been happening. Are you two okay to come with?" he asked as the two sisters nodded.
"Yeah…and I think I know why they are coming after us" Blackfire said with a sigh as Naruto rose an eyebrow but nodded, walking alongside them as they headed back towards the living room, deciding Blackfire would explain it when they were all together.
"Oh good, are you two feeling okay?" Kara asked as the three of them walked in.
"Yes we are much better and not sticking of garbage, thank you for worrying" Starfire said with a smile before Blackfire walked over to in front of the half circle shaped couch.
"Yeah I'm feeling better too but I think those things were after this" Blackfire said, getting straight to it as she put her Centauri moon diamond on the table. "Those things were Centauri drones, I had to escape a few while on Centauri to get one of these diamonds out of their mines" Blackfire added as she frowned and sat down at the edge of the couch.
"So they are after you cause you stole a diamond?" Beast boy asked with a raised eyebrow as Blackfire nodded.
"The Gordanian prisoner ship I was on at the time crashed on one of Centauri's moons while they were transferring me. It was a bit after they captured me on another planet since much like my sister they have a hatred for Tamaraneans and have been hunting me down for a while now" Blackfire said with a shudder as she remembered their home planet being attacked and her fleeing it after Starfire was captured and being on the run ever since.
"When I realized where I was I booked it for the mines to get a diamond so I could fly since unlike Starfire I can't on my own and need either something that boosts my power like this gem or tech, which they destroyed after capturing me, to fly. Once I had the diamond I flew here as fast as I could since this was somewhere I felt I could be safe on considering my sister and her friends were here" Blackfire concluded before Starfire sat next to her and held her hand.
"We will fix this sister. I am sure if we explain the situation and return it they will leave us be" Starfire said as she gave her hand a squeeze.
"Yeah I already have a lock on an alien frequency that is coming our way. We'll meet them and explain things. I'm sure if these Centauri aliens are reasonable they will be fine as long as we return it and I can work on some boosting tech for you in the morning" Cyborg said making Blackfire smile and nod before Kara patted her on the back.
"And if not we can work something out" Kara added making Blackfire chuckle.
"Thank you all, this really means a lot" Blackfire said as Naruto smiled at her.
"It's the least we can do for a friend" he said, giving her other hand a squeeze and making her squeeze his back.
"For now I think rest will be best for you three" Barbara said as she looked towards the two sisters and Naruto, giving the last one a stern look that he knew too well.
"Fine, fine. I get it no need to use that look" Naruto grumbled as he rubbed the back of his neck with a sigh before looking towards Blackfire as she cleared her throat.
"Actually before that…can I ask you something Robin?" Blackfire asked as the boy wonder rose an eyebrow and nodded.
"Sure thing" he said making her nod before she took a deep breath.
"May I…stay here for the foreseeable future as a Titan?" she asked making Starfire squeal as she quickly captured her sister in a hug.
"Oh yes! Please say it is okay Robin" Starfire said as Naruto figured by the smile on Blackfire's face that the two had already talked things out.
"Of course Blackfire. I was actually going to bring it up tomorrow when I had a spare communicator made but you'll just have to wait for tomorrow to get it. Welcome to the team" Robin said as he shook her hand as everyone cheered.
"Great! With that settled I can do this easier" Blackfire said before she looked over to Naruto, grabbed his shirt and pulled him in for another kiss. Though unlike the first with being caught off guard and stunned before he could return it this time he was able to shake it off in time to kiss her back.
As they mashed lips Naruto was stunned by how versatile her tongue was as it wrapped around his while invading his mouth. Her lips were incredibly soft as they pressed against his and her tongue tasted like berries. As much as he found himself wanting more they broke away and he could only smile a bit as Blackfire smiled back at him flirtatiously.
"S-Sister! Kisses mean much more than on Tamaran!" Starfire scolded with a dark blush of her own as Blackfire smirked at her.
"Oh I know, this was me staking a place with him" Blackfire purred out as Naruto was a bit dazed from the deep French kiss, especially given how long a Tamaranean's tongue was.
"T-Then I too shall stake the place" Starfire declared before she stood up, put her hands on his shoulders and leaned in for a kiss.
While unlike Blackfire's in terms of raw passion and natural talent Starfire's made up for it in sweetness. He found himself more in the lead with her as he gingerly slipped his tongue into her mouth, surprising Starfire before she followed along.
"I-I hope it was enjoyable" Starfire stuttered out as she broke the kiss, smiling at him as Blackfire hugged her and gave her an encouraging pat on the back.
"W-What the hell was that!?" Beast boy asked, his voice cracking as he wasn't expecting the two sisters to make out with Naruto.
"That was two Tamaranean princesses claiming their mate. Of course it would go differently on Tamaran so consider this the Earth version of it, if he'll accept us" Blackfire said as she held her sister's hand and smiled at Naruto, finding both his and her sister's blushes adorable.
"W-Wait on Earth you can't have two girlfriends!" Kara stuttered out, the others raising an eyebrow more at her stutter than Beast boys.
"Also did they say princesses?" Raven asked, pipping in for the first time as she just barely caught the kisses.
"Yes, Starfire and I are crowned princesses of Tamaran where I guess what you would call polygamy is more accepted to ensure strong heirs and spread love" Blackfire said as she rose an eyebrow. "Though I am confused why you all are reacting weirdly to it considering Saiyans are a polygamist race as well. Strong males get multiple mates to ensure strong off springs. Did he not tell you?" Blackfire added, looking towards Naruto who was rubbing the back of his neck.
"I-I might have heard it in my parent's logs but I never really brought it up since I was raised on Earth. I-I never really intended to since it's not something normal on Earth but it all depends on if the girls are okay with it" Naruto said as Barbara chuckled.
"Bout time you admitted it" she said as everyone looked at her. "What? Working with Batman gave me access to the logs which Superman gave him with Naruto's permission. I noticed the mention of polygamy and personally I don't have any problem with it considering he knows my feelings for him" she said as she walked over and was the next to kiss him.
Her kiss like Blackfire's involved tongue as she was more skilled with it than Blackfire but before he could get too into it the redhead pulled away with a teasing smile as if to say 'be patient and you'll get more'.
"Seriously Barbara!? You too?!" Robin yelled in shock as Barbara shrugged her shoulders.
"What can I say? I confessed to him long ago but up until now with me in Gotham and him in Metropolis it wouldn't have worked. I intended to talk to him alone about it but I guess since the two of you are getting a claim," she said as she looked at the two Tamaraneans "I might as well too" Barbara concluded as the majority of the Titans were shocked, either visibly or on the inside.
"Well I'm glad I joined, this will be interesting to say the least" Blackfire said with a giggle as Naruto couldn't help but feel like things from this point on were only going to get more intense in multiple ways.
But on the other hand…he didn't really mind all that much.
-Chapter End-
5k prologue to the episode with the actual 'Sisters' episode being 7k words long and then like 1k long notes. Holy crap I can safely say I was not intending it to be this long at all so bear with me as I do my author notes.
!FIRST and FOREMOST! Those claiming "It's just a shitty OC using [Naruto Character's] descriptions and not Naruto cause he doesn't have chakra and/or ties to the Elemental Nations" must not read a lot of fic or something cause Naruto is more than just his power.
Naruto is his personality, looks (although black haired in this one due to Saiyan genes), and character traits.
I mean seriously if chakra and elemental nations were the only things then like all Total Drama and other fic in modern settings are all "Shitty OCs" (using the words of one certain reviewer here)
I feel Naruto personally would make a great Saiyan due to his habit of rushing into battle without a plan all the time and having to think one up on the fly.
I hope that cleared things up so now onto notes about this chapter
I made sure to make it clear Naruto has gone Super Saiyan before and I even did a little flashback to when he did as well as mentioning him having killed two villains before as in my DC world I made it where killing of villains is okay in certain circumstances. Also the two villains he killed will be revealed later (Lex is majorly crippled by the way now)
*= Basically the blades of a Rasenshuriken minus the orb part
I wanted to make the fair more inclusive with the girls so I made Naruto do a bit with all of them before the Ferris wheel and the start of the episode.
I hope you liked the alterations I made to the 'Sisters' episode as I tinkered with Blackfire a bit to make her 'sour disposition' towards Starfire more realistic while still making her a bit grey until Naruto helped her mend her relationship with Star. I feel I did well to keep in her personality.
Now as for the polygamy thing. I think I did well with it as I can see Saiyans being the kind of race to be like that where strength ensures mates and as a more civilized warrior race the Tamaraneans might be the same in a different but similar way. Plus them being princesses makes it even more acceptable.
In regards to Barbara, as I said she more or less confessed to him a few years ago but it was more to get it off her chest and let him know her feelings. She, at the time, wasn't expecting a relationship due to how far the lived from one another and the constant work she had to do in a crime filled city like Gotham. Now in Jump city, living in the same house, and having two girls stake their claim in him she was not going to sit on her ass without claiming a bit of his lol
Next chapter will have the aftermath of the episode as well as the whole multiple girls and how it goes down. Plus maybe a lemon, not 100% sure like at all right now. I also have something in mind to cut down on the numbers of characters in each scene at times with the premise of an 'On call' system of sorts that will be delved into next chapter as well
Also Argent got added to the harem, she originally was going to be a part before I couldn't think of a way to make her work until Kfbanime87 helped me out with creating a way to make her work which I was excited for as I LOVE Argent and he is SO underused.
