I awoke in a dark room, I knew instantly this wasn't my room and although I wasn't uncomfortable or restrained I was startled when I saw the chains and hooks hanging from the ceiling. I jolted up ready to escape from whatever criminal's dungeon I was in. "There's no need to be scared Bart." A voice all too familiar said from the corner of the room. I looked over to where the voice came from and there was Raven hovering above the floor, eyes closed, cross legged with her fingers in a 'O' shape. She was meditating and then I remembered that I'd slept in her room. Trying to be manly and regain some of my pride I quickly replied "I'm not scared, why would I be?" Raven opened one of her violet eyes and looked at me "Maybe because I sensed your confusion, panic and fear, I can read your emotions remember?" she said to me before closing her eye again. Well that attempt at appearing to be a brave man failed "Yeah I remember, but I also remember you saying you wouldn't use it on me." I said replied. She got up now, removing the hood of her cloak so I could see her face, although that was all I could see as her cloak concealed the rest. "I did say that Yes. However I was meditating and I heard you move quickly, I doubted even you move so suddenly when you've just woken up. So Instead of breaking my concentration completely by asking you what was wrong, I decided to find out for myself and read your emotions, you were scared." She replied as she blew out the candles, wisps of smoke billowing around her. I was blushing from the embarrassment, "Yeah ok I was kinda scared. But your rooms just so dark! And there are hooks and chains hanging from the ceiling, I mean it looks like a dungeon. What else was I supposed to think other than I'd been kidnapped in my sleep?" I asked her "That it's a Goth girl's room." Raven replied "You lose points already on how good of a boyfriend you are, you'll have to get better at recognizing your own girlfriend's room to regain them." She said smiling. "So we are officially a couple now?" I asked her, she leaned over and kissed me softly "Yes Bart we are." She replied, with that she stood up "I'm going for a shower." She said and started walking toward the bathroom. "Oh good, I can't wait to see this!" I said about to get up, when a dark force pushed me back onto the bed. "Regardless of the fact that you're my boyfriend I'm not letting you see me naked just yet. I don't even like looking at my body. Besides I don't trust you to control yourself." She said to me. I decided it was best not to mention I saw her breasts yesterday morning so I just playfully responded with "Aw, that's mean, I could totally control myself." Raven raised an eyebrow at me, "Oh really? So how would you respond if I told you that right now I'm totally naked underneath this cloak?" She asked "I'd highly suspect you were lying, so it wouldn't be a problem." I replied honestly, and with that Raven cheekily looked over her shoulder and a long, toned, bare leg appeared from inside the cloak "Nice legs babe, but your leotard shows your legs, you could easily be wearing that." I pointed out, to which Raven mischievously giggled as she quickly flashed me her bare bottom, a very sexy, perfectly round bottom I might add. My eyes widened and I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I realised she wasn't lying. Raven then pulled the cloak back around her legs and bum "That's all you get for now Mr. Allen." and with a wink she closed the bathroom door, and then I heard the lock turn. Although I could just phase through I didn't want to be a pervert and so I respected her privacy, though her little tease had made me want to see more.
A few minutes went by and I'd decided to put the TV on whilst I waited for Raven to finish her shower. I checked the news but nothing major was going on and it still seemed to be an unusually quiet weekend, not that I'm complaining. So I flicked over to the cartoons channel and watched some show about a cat and mouse that chase each other around and beat the other up, usually the mouse cleverly outwitting the cat, tricking it into hurting itself. Man entertainment in this era is weird. Just as the show finished Raven came out of the bathroom, her skin shining as it was still damp, with a towel wrapped around her body, though it was just barely covering her breasts which looked ready to pop out at any moment. She also had a towel wrapped around her hair as women usually do after a shower, a few stray tendrils of wet indigo hair had escaped but they just framed her beautiful face. I immediately blushed for the third time this morning. I'm sure Raven knew how provocative she looked and had planned this, although she acted as if she hadn't. "What are you looking at?" she asked me as I stared at her. I shook my head and regained my composure "Uh nothing, you just uhm, you look very nice this morning." I replied. Raven looked at me "Thank you." She said with no emotion going about her business like nothing was out of the ordinary, maybe she wasn't trying to tease me. She then removed the towel from her head as she sat down in front of the mirror and her indigo hair fell to her shoulders and she started to rub it with the towel. Then she took out her hairdryer and blow dried it. She then brushed it, checked it was in her usual style and that was that, no makeup or anything. I hadn't really realised Raven never wore make up, she always seemed so beautiful to me that I assumed she did. She threw the towel into her laundry basket and then stood up and turned to face me, then smiled her cheeky smile from before and that familiar dark aura flickered around her fingers and she flicked her wrist upward and the duvet was thrown over my head. "The no looking rule is still in effect for you Mr. Allen." She said with a giggle and then a few minutes later I heard "You can look now." And there stood raven in black skate shoes with purple laces, black leggings with a skeleton design on them, a shirt with a gothic Alice in wonderland design on it, and purple and black striped arm warmers. She looked wonderful in my opinion, the clothes suited her style well and this look made her even more beautiful in my eyes. "You look great!" I exclaimed looking her up and down again, "Thanks, now you'd better go shower and change too, you slept in your costume, and it's best the other Titans don't know you slept in here last night. They don't even know we're a couple yet." Raven replied, "That's a good point, when are we gonna tell them by the way?" I asked her. Raven paused for a moment "I hadn't thought about that, but I know it's not right now that's for sure. We'll figure it out later. Anyway go shower and get dressed I'll meet you in the living room and make us some breakfast."She said. And so I did, being fast enough to be able to get to my room without anyone noticing me leave Raven's room.
I took of my Kid Flash costume and threw it in my dirty laundry pile, which was getting to a rather impressive height. I then slipped out of my boxers and added them to the pile. Now being naked I walked into the bathroom. I turned the shower on and stepped in, the water warming up after a few seconds. As I washed myself I felt my cock twitch as the thought of Raven flashing her bum came into my mind. I shook the thought away. I guess she was right; I do need some self control. As I rubbed a bar of soap over me I was seriously resisting the urge to rub my cock as I soaped that area up. I shook the thoughts from my mind and I quickly washed the soap away. After I was finished washing my hair I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked over to the mirror and wiped away the steam, and then I saw my body. I'd been training and sparring with Tim in some of my spare time and it seemed to be paying off. Aside from learning cool and useful moves I'd started to become more toned. I still retained my lean athletic look, but my abs had become more defined and I could see a V-line forming. I ran my hand over my stomach and smiled, chicks love abs and even though Raven isn't your average girl, I'm sure she's noticed. I dried my hair with the towel and pulled on a long sleeved T-shirt, the arms being red and the torso yellow. I then put on some slate trousers and red converse shoes.
As I walked into the living room the only other Titans up aside from Raven and I were, Tim and Kory. They were having breakfast in the kitchen. I sat at the table and tried extremely hard to ignore the fact that Kory's dressing gown was showing way too much cleavage. Tim gave me a look that told me he knew as well. As Raven brought me a bowl of cereal she whispered in Kory's ear, and at that point Kory looked down, and quickly covered up and tightened the dressing gown. Tim and I just smiled at each other. "So guys any idea what we're doing today?" Tim asked "It's been another quiet night so I thought we could all relax together." He suggested, before we could respond another voice said "Sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm going to need your help." We all turned to see Nightwing. How he stayed here undetected for so long is a mystery but then again why should I expect any less from the boy wonder trained by Batman. He'd let his hair grow longer, it was just above his shoulders now. "Nightwing! What are you doing here?" Tim said in surprise as Kory blushed and looked very nervous. Dick stood near the table "I'd prefer to explain in front of the whole team, so If you don't mind could you go get the others?" he asked, Tim nodded and was off to the other rooms. Kory on the other hand smiled at him and then ran off in the direction of her room, Dick watching her as she went. "I think she likes you." I said to him matter of factly, "I know. She's cute, and certainly beautiful, maybe something might happen." Dick replied "How long have you two been a couple?" he asked us as if it was obvious, I almost choked on my cereal and Raven froze. "Uhm...I..Uh..I have no idea what you're talking about!" I said Dick gave us his own version of the Bat-glare and Raven and I just looked at each other wondering if we should admit it or keep up the charade. Raven looked back to him "The attraction has been apparent for some time, my powers weren't working as they usually did, so I knew I was experiencing conflicted emotions, turns out I loved Bart, once we confessed our love to each other, my control over them was back to normal, however officially, we've been a couple since last night." She said. Dick nodded "I see, so the others don't know?" he asked, we both shook our heads in response "Well, whilst Batman always said that dating within a team always leads to disaster, Tim and Cassie seem to be doing ok. Wally and Artemis worked well together. Besides I don't think taking advice from a man who decides that whilst dating in a team is wrong, but being smitten with a criminal cat burglar is perfectly alright is the best idea." He said with a smile, which then turned into a serious look "But don't let it get in the way of your team work, on a mission you are team mates only, if you two keep checking on each other, you'll get distracted and that would be a risk to not only yourselves but the rest of the team, got it?" he asked us with a very stern tone "Got it." Raven and I replied in unison.
Not long after the entire team was assembled on the couch and Nightwing had brought up a holographic map of Gotham City, he pointed to a red dot on the map "Here are a collection of warehouses, most of them are used by the many businesses in Gotham however..." as he said this the map zoomed in on the area "...this warehouse here is used by the GCPD to temporarily store weapons and other equipment until they have room for them. It's hidden well, it looks like any other warehouse, is locked up tight and they have a surveillance camera on it at all times and officers regularly checking it 24/7. This may seem unconnected but you'll soon learn that seemingly unrelated facts are usually part of a bigger scheme." Dick said looking at us all "Noted." Beast boy replied, I hated that, he 'notes' fucking everything apparently. Even Nightwing seemed irritated by it as he sighed before continuing. "The Joker broke out of Arkham last night, and on the same night a Bus transporting several prisoners from Blackgate to Arkham was ambushed and all prisoners were set free." "Let me guess, these prisoners were set free by The Joker right?" Beast Boy asked "Most likely, Batgirl managed to find out the names of the prisoners, and all of them worked for The Joker at one point or another. Also a bunch of Joker's gang members who were still at large disappeared from their usual spots. Now, Batman is currently in Tibet dealing with Ra's Al Ghul, so he can't deal with this, but before he left he had been keeping an eye on the warehouse. Batgirl and I believe that The Joker is going to break in and steal the weapons in there. We know he'll use a big team and while Batgirl keeps the rest of Gotham safe I need you guys to help me take him down." Nightwing said and one by one looked us all in the eye. "Ok we're in right team?" Tim asked, already knowing the answer "Right." We all replied.
A/N : The next Chapter is another action chapter, though I believe it will be much better than the last one. However if you don't like action scenes and are more interested in Bart and Raven's relationship, then skip it.
