A/N: Hi!!
Disclaimer: Do you really have nothing better to do?
"Hey, Cy, I'm gonna go get the kids, can I use your car?" Kale asked, smiling.
Cyborg held his keys back in a minute of indecision. "Fine. But remember, no graffiti, no surprise paint jobs, no riding with the top down…"
"No food, no drink, no crayons, no magnifying glasses, and no messing with your music station." Kale finished, grabbing the keys from his hand. She pecked him on the lips and left the room quickly.
Cyborg looked around the room. Streamers and papier-mâché Chinese decorations hung from the high ceilings. A bunch of people rested on the couch, in front of plates teeming with food. Music from the surround-sound speakers sent ripples in glasses of water and vibrations through everyone's body. People danced and talked. Food was everywhere, as were things to do. Cyborg looked up to his favorite decoration of the party and…
"Yo, B! I know you're not hanging on that banner! Raven, some help please."
Raven looked around from where she was talking with Goliath. Seeing Beast Boy, she lazily used her magic to encase and deposit the offender in a nearby punch bowl. Cyborg examined the banner that Kale and the orphans had worked so painstakingly on.
Thank you Titans!
Handprints of different colors and sizes were around the heading. It was simple, but really showed that all the work the Titans had put into cleaning up the city and helping kids who lived in Jump City really did matter and helped a lot of people.
Fort-eight and a quarter minutes (Cyborg knew because he often counted how long it was that Kale was gone, though he often justified this with trying to see if she had enough time to get the kids icecream, have it wolf it down in the car, and clean them up before he noticed. Most of the time, the answer was a no) later the door opened and a group of kids poured into the room, gravitating to their favorite Titans. Kale came in second later, carrying little Tommy. She gave Cyborg his keys back and bounced Tommy on her hip a little.
"What did you want to say to Cyborg?" she asked kindly. The young child popped a thumb in his mouth. Kale pulled it out gently. "Don't do that, sweet. You're too old and you'll get buckteeth. Now go on, tell him."
Tommy looked at Cyborg and said, "You are my favorite Titan, Mr. Cyborg." He said perfectly, stumbling only slightly on the 'favorite' part.
"Aww, thanks man," Cyborg said, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.
"You know you're my…" Kale began amorously, "Adelaide, don't do that!" Kale handed Tommy to Cyborg and raced after the small girl, who was hanging on Wildebeest's horns. "What did I say about being polite?" she cried exasperatedly.
The party went off without a hitch. Well, except for the kids bugging the hell out of the Titans. They were all gracious, of course, and took great care of the kids. As the clock struck one, Kale and Cyborg looked around the room.
The Titans were all still awake, but winding down. The kids were all sleeping where they dropped: a couple on the couch, some on the table, more on the floor and, to Kale's horror, one on the ceiling fan. Cyborg and Kale gently picked each kid up and carried each of them down to the elevator and deposited them into the car. When most were in, they had to get Beast Boy's help getting the one from the ceiling down.
Cyborg drove through the streets and deposited the kids at the orphanage. He and Kale brought them all to their rooms and came quickly out to the car five minutes later. They drove back to the tower, finding half their friends asleep, and the other half on their way.
"Looks like we're going to have to clean up," Kale said.
Cyborg, who happened to know that cleaning up was the least favorite thing for Kale to do, caught sight of Robin and Starfire, who had fallen asleep in each other arms. He smiled and intertwined his arms around Kale, something he would ever do unless his friends were so drowsy they wouldn't remember the next day. He lightly kissed the side of her cheek.
"Or we can go to sleep and say we were following their example." He whispered, nodding over to the couple.
Kale saw them. "Awww… they really do make a nice couple. You know who's next, right?" she asked teasingly. She pointed to the couch, where Beast Boy was drenching Raven's shoulder with his drool, and Raven was resting her head on his.
Cyborg quietly laughed. "Yeah, as soon as Beast boy learns the meaning of the word 'boundaries'."
"First he needs to learn how to spell it," Kale said, twisting away from his grasp and taking a bowl of chips to the kitchen.
Cyborg sighed. Looks like we're the clean-up crew.
"AAAHHHH!!" The short yell woke up everyone up.
Kale groaned and rubbed her stiff neck, carefully avoiding the chips that littered the floor around her. "Looks like Raven found Beast Boy," she muttered.
She nudged Cyborg. They had fallen asleep together against the back of the couch, after Cyborg had innocently started a chip fight and, amongst muffled giggles, had fallen to the ground. They had kissed and made up, and Kale had tiredly lain against Cyborg for a minute. That minute turned into the rest of the night and Cyborg, the gentlemen that he was, had let the girl sleep all night against him.
"What?" Cyborg moaned in his sleep.
"It's time top wake up," Kale said softly.
"Mhh," Cyborg's lips curved into a smile and he held her more closely against him.
"Get up or I'll spray water on you," Kale said in her most serious voice.
Cyborg sat bolt right. "What's happening?" he asked, hearing the commotion.
Kale pointed to where the entire Tower was watching Raven terrorize Beast Boy. Cyborg laughed and Kale punched him.
"Come on, we should stop them."
"I know how," Cyborg stood up and cupped his hands to his mouth. "Come on everybody! I'm making WAFFLES!!"
There was a mad rush to the kitchen. Kale watched her boyfriend get swept away. She went up to Raven and laughed as Beast Boy struggled to get out of the blqack hand that was holding him.
"Come on, Raven. We can feed Beast Boy bacon for breakfast."
"That's an alliteration that I will take you up on." Raven said, flying to the kitchen.
"Don't worry, Beast Boy. Everything you get will be purely tofu." Kale said reassuringly.
They walked to the kitchen. Cyborg was doling out plates of waffles and bacon quickly. Just as Kale accepted a plate…
BEEEP! BEEeP! A red light flashed.
"Titans! Trouble!" Kale rolled her eyes at the comment she heard Robin say on a daily basis.
People started to file out, flying out of windows or running to the garage to get transportation. Aqualad jumped to a window and had the surrounding water bring him down the sea below. Cyborg found Kale amidst all the confusion and grabbed her arm.
"Stay here," he said sternly.
Kale saluted and gave him the I'll-say-yes-but-there's-no-way-I'm-listening smile. "Of course." She looked serious. "Be careful. If you get hurt, I'm going to clock you and tie you to your bed."
Cyborg nodded and ignored all the lecherous comments he could have made. No matter how many times he would lock Kale in the Tower, she always found a way out. He gave up trying an eventually started praying that she would listen to him for once. Not that it ever succeeded.
A/N: all right, another chapter. For those of you who are slow, Kale and Cyborg and Robin and Starfire are dating. Kale and Cyborg have been dating for a year and Rob and Star have been dating three months.
