I do not own Teen Titans or any DC references made
It had been a week since Robin returned, and the Titans were ecstatic. Robin quickly retook leadership of the Titans and the other members were eager to show off what they had learned in his absence. Cyborg and Raven hadn't observed anything wrong with their teammate so they gradually began to lower their guard. After all, they both had greatly missed their teammate and friend.
Raven was reading a book in the living room while Cyborg was making himself a few burritos with extra bacon and sausage. Robin was currently training in the gym while Terra and Starfire took Beastboy shopping so he could be the bag carrier. They continued in relative silence before Raven closed her book.
"Cy, does Batman know Robin is alive?"
Cyborg paused, considering the question, "I don't know actually"
"Should we tell him?"
"I'd prefer you guys didn't"
Both Cyborg and Raven saw Robin standing in the doorway having just showered.
"Why not Rob?"
"Because Cy, Ras and Batman aren't on good terms already and I would prefer not to deal with the collateral that would follow that news right now."
"Makes sense, but you know he'll find out eventually" Cyborg pointed out with a piece of bacon in his hand.
"I know, I'll tell him I'm back when I'm ready" He toweled off his hair before tossing the towel on the back of the couch. "I'm gonna go check on some cases."
"Sounds thrilling" was Ravens reply as she lifted her book back up to eye level.
"See ya Rob." Cyborg plopped next to Raven on the couch as Robin left the room. "Sooo… know what you're gonna do yet?"
Raven dropped her book again, "I have no idea. It doesn't help that Rune is still in Gotham and Robin is as distant from me as we were years ago."
"I'm sorry to hear that, any news on your bond?"
"It's strange… I can feel it now, but I can't connect to Robin. Every time I try to connect to the bond it feels… blocked."
"Didn't you say that it could have cut off from his end? Because he, you know, died?"
Raven's body still flinched at the thought, "It's possible, I just hope that's not the case."
Cyborg reached an arm around Raven and hugged her close, "Don't worry Rae, you'll get your break."
"Thanks Cy" Raven smiled as she hugged him back.
Cyborg and Raven's communicators started bleeping, when they answered they saw Robin's face.
"I just got word from one of my new contacts that there is a large weapons shipment coming into the city. There shouldn't be too many guards there so the three of us can take them out."
"The others aren't coming?" Cyborg asked with a slight grin as he peeked at Raven who only deadpanned in reply.
"This mission will also entail a degree of stealth in order to find who is trying to get weapons into Jump city, I trust you two to stay quiet when it's necessary. I'm already heading to the garage, see you guys soon."
-A short drive later-
The trio had arrived to see 3 large semis which were being emptied into a warehouse. They had counted at least 17 armed guards, and around 9 other guys moving the crates. Robin and company had decided it was best to stay out of sight for the time being.
"I thought you said there wouldn't be too many of them!" Cyborg gritted out in a hushed tone.
"There are more guards than I thought, but as long as we're careful we can still take them out without much trouble."
"Is no one going to address the fact that they're doing this in the middle of the day?" Raven pointed out. "Moving illegal weapons seems to be more of a 'dead of the night' thing"
"Definitely a sign that whoever their boss is, they are confident that any interference can and will be handled. We need to get closer and figure out who said boss is."
"You think they're just gonna talk about their boss freely?" Cyborg questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Robin grinned, "If there is one thing I learned about criminals, it's that they love to complain about their employers"
I know I haven't been posting chapters in a long while. I don't wanna just throw excuses about how I was busy but I want to be honest with my readers. I got evicted from my house, my laptop broke (luckily I didn't loose too much of my writing projects) and I bombed all my finals which has put me on academic suspension. All of that has been giving me a bit of writers block but I have still been trying my best to write. I haven't given up on any of my stories, but my progress has definitely slowed. I'm not using any of this as an excuse, I'm simply letting you guys know what's happening in my life and I apologize for my lack of contact and content. I will try post more content, but it may take me a while as my new job is keeping me busy. I do appreciate feedback and will also do my best to answer questions as they come.
