Thank you everyone who read and reviewed! I really do appreciate it so much! Please continue to review! Also please forgive me about not updating in a VERY long time! My S. Studies and MT History teacher hands out work left and right. I had to finish my reports in both classes. This chapter is going to be shorter than normal because I'm so far behind in updating all my stories. I'm very sorry!
Chapter 17
Christmas Time
Starfire slowly opened her eyes the next morning to find NW sitting next to her bedside. He still had his mask on. The sun was beginning to rise. The sunrise looked beautiful outside the window which was next to her bed. The sunrise looked reddish orange. The beam of light from the sunrise hit Starfire's face and made her glow. NW was staring out the window at the sunrise.
"N-Nightwing?" Starfire asked gently. NW jumped slightly as he looked down to face her. He gave Starfire a very warm smile. His smile vanished when he heard the gentleness and weakness in her voice.
"What's wrong Star? How do you feel?" NW asked in a worried tone.
"I have to tell you something...," Starfire trailed off.
"What is it Star?" asked NW.
"Well...I...," Starfire averted NW's masked eyes and looked out the window.
"Go on," said NW gently.
"Raven wanted to tell you something," finished Starfire reluctantly. She couldn't believe she just lied to NW. But in a way it wasn't a lie. Raven did want to tell NW about what Slade did to Starfire.
"Raven does? How did she-" NW had begun.
"Raven contacted me through telepathy," interrupted Starfire.
"What does she want to tell me?" NW asked.
"Raven wants to tell you... herself," Starfire stated quietly as she pulled the covers up to her neck and curled into a ball while facing NW.
"You know... Don't you?" asked NW in a tender voice as he stroked Starfire's ruby colored hair.
Starfire took a deep breath and said, "Yes Richard, I know what it is. I cannot deny the truth any longer." NW looked thoughtful for a moment.
"How is she going to tell me?" asked NW.
"I don't know," replied Starfire in a hushed tone.
"Where is she?" NW had asked.
"She's in the hospital," replied Starfire.
"Okay, did she have the baby yet?" asked NW in a thoughtful tone.
"She would not tell me. I fear something terrible has gone wrong with the birth for she sounded distracted and weak," Starfire worriedly replied.
"Okay, you should get some rest Star. I'm sure nothing has happened to the baby," said NW gently.
"I suppose you're right. Are the other heroes still here?" asked Starfire.
"Only Cyborg, Batman and Wonder Woman decided to stay," NW replied. Starfire nodded in acceptance.
"Well, I'm going to talk to Cyborg," replied NW as he got up off the bed and walked towards the door. Starfire nodded her head as she closed her eyes. NW exited the room. Starfire opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. Then suddenly Raven contacted Starfire's mind.
'Did you tell Richard yet?' Raven had thought to Starfire.
'No, I was hoping you could do it,' replied Starfire mentally.
'Why can't you do it? He is your boyfriend after all,' Raven replied coldly.
'I can't because I told him that you wanted to tell him yourself,' replied Starfire
'I shouldn't be the one to tell him,' replied Raven stubbornly and a little harshly.
'I'm not going to tell him. If you want to tell him so bad, than tell him yourself!' thought Starfire angrily.
'Fine Starfire, I understand. I'll talk to him,' Raven replied in her monotone voice as she cut the telepathy between Starfire and herself.
Raven
Raven sat up in her hospital bed.
"Let's see if I can contact NW," Raven had told herself as she layed back down on the bed and levitated.
"Azarath...Metrion...Zinthos," Raven breathed silently. Raven contacted NW through telepathy, after she got herself ready. NW was talking to Batman in the common room.
'Richard are you there? I need to tell you something,' Raven thought to NW. NW stopped right in the middle of a sentence with Batman.
"Sorry, I err...need to go to the bathroom," replied NW quickly as he ran out of the common room and into the bathroom. Batman, WW and Cyborg exchanged curious and a little suspicious glances. Raven who was reading NW's mind smiled with amusement.
'Nice excuse boy blunder,' Raven thought in an amused tone of voice.
'Raven, what do you need to tell me! I have to talk to Batman,' thought NW with some urgency in his voice.
'Alright I'll cut to the chase. Slade raped Starfire,' replied Raven rather reluctantly. NW was shocked, extremely angry and confused all at once.
'WHY DIDN'T STARFIRE OR YOU TELL ME SOONER!' NW yelled in his mind to Raven.
'Starfire didn't know how you'd take it. Calm down! Starfire said that she wasn't pregnant,' Raven replied firmly. NW calmed down slightly but not much.
'Is she sure?' NW asked Raven in his head as he sat on the toilet with the lid on the toilet down.
'Yes, she was very sure. She said Tamaranians don't get pregnant like humans do. Starfire also said that she didn't show any signs what so ever of pregnancy when she should of by now,' Raven replied.
'Alright Raven, but to just to make sure I'll have Cyborg run some tests on Starfire,' NW mentally replied to Raven in his leader voice.
'That would be a great idea,' answered Raven seriously as she cut the link between her and NW mentally. Raven layed down on the bed to get some more sleep.
Nightwing
NW was very upset and angry at Slade. He got off the toilet seat and walked out of the door of the bathroom. He was a very serious and angry look on his face. He entered the common room and saw that Batman was sitting next to Cyborg and WW on the sofa talking about something. Batman was between Cyborg and WW. WW turned around and faced NW. After WW faced NW, Cyborg and Batman stopped talking and faced NW too.
"What's wrong?" asked WW. Cyborg snickered inappropriately. Batman gave NW a stern and a slightly curious look.
"I need to tell you guys something about Starfire," replied NW as he walked over to the big window. It started snowing outside.
"Go on," said Batman as he continued facing NW. NW turned around and faced the two heroes and one heroine. He told them what Raven had told him about Slade and what he did to Starfire. A/N it's too painful for me to repeat what Slade did to Starfire.
"Richard, I know how you must feel but I think you've done enough damage to Slade when you last beat him up. He's not going to escape anytime soon and I'm sure you made him think twice," said WW seriously.
"I guess you're right," said NW reluctantly as he walked over to Batman, WW and Cyborg.
"Besides, tomorrow is Christmas," said Cyborg.
"You're right it is almost Christmas," said NW in a shocked tone of voice.
"I'm going to talk to Starfire," said NW as he walked over to the medical room. NW opened the door to the medical room. Starfire was still lying on the bed asleep; while she was facing NW. NW walked over to Starfire and sat next to her bed on a chair. He took his left hand and stroked Starfire's hair. Starfire's eyes snapped open then she sat up quickly. Her eyes were filled with some fear.
"R-Richard? I err...did Raven tell you yet... or not?" Starfire asked. Was it NW's imagination or did Starfire seem very nervous?
"Yeah Star she told me. I told the others too," said NW coolly.
"You're not angry?" asked Starfire in a surprised tone of voice.
"I was...at first. But Wonder Woman and Cyborg taught me 2 things. Cyborg told me since it was so close to Christmas that I shouldn't hold grudges and Wonder Woman told me that I did enough damage to Slade when we arrested him...so he'll think twice before he messes with the Teen Titans," said NW. Starfire smiled as she stared out the window. It was snowing even harder outside than before.
"Christmas... It is almost Christmas time. Where has the time gone?" Starfire asked in a distant voice.
"Yeah, it has gone by so fast," said NW as he hugged Starfire. Starfire smiled and hugged him back.
"Do you want to go Christmas shopping with me when you get better?" asked NW.
"I'm feeling a lot better now. May we go now?" asked Starfire eagerly. Her eyes were shining with pure happiness.
"Are you strong enough?" asked NW in a concerned tone of voice.
"I'm sure Richard. I still need to get gifts," said Starfire happily as she jumped off the bed and landed with thud on the floor. NW got off the bed immediately and helped Starfire stand. Starfire was wearing her normal Tamaranian clothes.
"Are you alright?" asked NW
"My legs are not strong enough yet," said Starfire sadly as NW helped Starfire back to the bed. Then the door opened revealing Batman, WW and Cyborg. WW was carrying a tray of food for Starfire, Batman wasn't carrying anything in particular and Cyborg was there to test Starfire.
"Let's see if Starfire's pregnant," said Cyborg as he scanned Starfire and ran a few tests. While he was testing Starfire, NW sat in the corner of the room. Batman sat about one foot across from NW. WW set the tray of food on Starfire's nightstand and than sat about 2 feet across from Batman. NW was staring at Starfire and Cyborg like a father waiting anxiously for his child.
"I'm sure she'll be fine," said Batman.
"She might be," NW replied quietly.
"Friends, don't worry I'm positive that I'm not pregnant," Starfire said in a confident voice. WW got up off her seat and walked over to Cyborg.
"Do you think she might be pregnant?" WW asked softly to Cyborg.
"I don't know yet," replied Cyborg quietly as he continued one of his tests. WW nodded and exited the room. She walked straight into the common room and walked to the sofa. She picked up one of her suit cases and walked over to the bathroom. She changed out of her hero suit and into dark blue jeans that hugged her body, a blue shirt that hugged her body also, her hero shoes, a dark blue sweat shirt that went over her shirt, and a jacket. She exited the bathroom and into the medical room. NW was sitting by Starfire's bed. Cyborg was talking to Batman.
"Is Starfire..," began WW.
"No, she's not," Cyborg interrupted happily.
"Where are you going?" Batman asked to WW
"I'm going to go Christmas shopping," WW replied.
"Can I go with you?" asked Starfire with hope in her voice.
"But Starfire you can't walk," said NW in a sad voice.
"Here," said Cyborg as he walked out of the room and came back in about 2 minutes later with a wheel chair.
"She can go shopping while in this wheel chair," said Cyborg. Starfire's eyes were shining with pure happiness. NW helped Starfire in the wheel chair. WW walked over to the closet and got a wool blanket and put it on Starfire's lap and legs. Cyborg got a bluish green jacket and helped Starfire in it.
"Well, I'll go shopping with Bruce and Cyborg," said NW
"I'll go with Starfire," said WW. Everyone nodded and headed to the common room. NW was pushing Starfire on the wheel chair.
"Before we go, I'll change into something else," said NW as he exited the room.
"Same here," said Cyborg as he followed NW out of the room and into his room.
"I better change too," said Batman coldly as he grabbed his suit case off the sofa and walked to the bathroom. When the guys left there was a knock on the door. WW walked over to the door and opened it. There in the door way stood Changeling in jeans, sunglasses, a black coat and a green sweater. He was pushing Raven in a wheel chair. Raven was wearing the same clothes as in the episode 'Snow Blind.'
"Come in," said WW as she stepped to the side and let CG and Raven come in out of the cold.
"Where's Cyborg and Nightwing?" asked CG.
"Bruce, Richard and Cyborg are getting ready to go Christmas shopping," said WW. Moments later NW came in jeans, black sunglasses, a winter jacket, cool black shoes and a red and green sweater. Cyborg came out next while wearing a winter jacket. Batman came out last while wearing a nice tuxedo, a winter jacket and black sunglasses.
"Can we come along too?" asked CG
"Garfield! Wow man! How ya been?" Cyborg eagerly asked as he ran over to CG and gave him a high five. NW ran over to CG and gave him a high five too. Starfire smiled at Raven and CG.
"It's very glorious to see you," said Starfire happily
"We've been better," said Raven sadly. Everyone's smiles vanished to a look of concern.
"What happen? Where's the baby? Is it alright?" NW asked in a concerned voice.
"We had the baby...but it didn't make it. It died. My body couldn't handle a half Azarathian and half human baby in me. I can't get pregnant again," said Raven sadly as her eyes swelled with tears. CG hugged Raven to comfort her.
"I'm sorry," said WW gently.
"I'm very...very sorry it happened," said Cyborg. Starfire looked down sadly. Everyone looked sad. Batman was a little sad but he didn't show it.
"Let's go shopping," said CG changing the subject.
"Wait, can we have breakfast first?" asked Starfire as she put her hand on her very hungry stomach.
"Oh right! You didn't have breakfast yet. I'm sorry," said NW as he ran out of the room and 1 minute later came back in with the tray of food.
"That was fast," said Raven. NW set the food in front of Starfire on the wheel chair. Starfire ate all the food down fast in 10 seconds flat.
"But that was faster," said Raven. Raven used her powers to move the tray on the kitchen table. Batman, WW, Cyborg, CG, Raven, Starfire and NW walked over to the T-Car outside.
"We're not all going to fit in the T-Car," said CG.
"This is only a suggestion, but maybe Starfire could sit on Dick's lap, and Raven could sit on Garfield's lap," said WW.
"That would work and maybe you Diana could sit on Batman's lap? Since there still won't be enough room," said Cyborg teasingly. WW and Batman blushed.
"NO!" Batman and WW cried seriously in unison.
"I don't think you have a choice. It's way too cold to fly," said Raven. WW looked over to NW.
"Can I drive your R-Cycle?" asked WW.
"Sorry, it's in disrepair because Cyborg hasn't gotten the time to repair it," said NW.
"I'll walk," said Batman.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Karen is coming too and she gets the front seat," said Cyborg. At that moment Bumble Bee flew over the heroes.
"Who's Karen?" asked everyone in unison.
"That's my real name," said Bee. Everyone turned around and saw Bumble Bee walking towards them. Bee was wearing blue jeans, winter boots, a fur hat, a yellow and blank striped sweater and a winter coat.
"What's your last name?" asked CG.
"My full name is Karen Beecher," said Bee.
"Cool name," said Raven in her monotone voice.
"I have an idea, I'll drive and you get to hold your girlfriend while Diana and I get the front," said Batman. Cyborg narrowed his eyes.
"No one drives my baby," said Cyborg angrily and stubbornly.
"Fine," hissed Batman coldly as he got in the T-Car behind the front passenger seat. NW laughed in a good natured laugh, got in the T-Car through the other door and sat next to Batman. CG got in the same way as NW and sat next to NW. Starfire and Raven wheeled themselves over to the driver side of the vehicle. CG got out and helped Starfire onto NW's lap. CG put Starfire's blanket on her lap. Then CG folded up the wheel chair and put it behind the seat.
"Okay who'll help me with Raven?" CG asked.
"I will," said WW as she walked over to Raven and helped her stand while CG sat down next to NW. Then WW helped Raven on CG's lap and then closed the door. Cyborg got behind the wheel and Bumble Bee sat in the passenger's side. WW reluctantly walked over to the side of the T-Car that Batman was on and opened the door, after she folded the wheel chair and set it behind the seat with Starfire's. She sat on Batman's lap. Then everyone buckled their seat belts. When the T-Car drove off towards Wal-Mart, everyone started laughing and staring at something above WW and Batman.
"What's so funny?" asked WW in a surprised voice.
"Diana, look above us," said Batman. WW looked up and saw mistletoe. WW and Batman leaned forward for a kiss. They kissed each other while wrapping their arms gently around each other than letting go. CG sneakily took out his camera and took a quick picture of Batman and WW. The camera didn't have flash so it didn't disturb the scene. When he took the picture, he very quickly rewinded it and put it in his coat pocket. Then NW and everyone else snickered except Starfire who was asleep on NW's lap.
"I can't believe I actually kissed him and he hissed me," thought WW dreamily. Starfire smiled at that beautiful Christmas moment. Raven smiled and leaned into CG's chest.
"I can't fall in love. I won't make the same mistake like Dick did," thought Batman firmly as he couldn't help but stare at WW.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle...," CG was interrupted by Raven who shoving her elbow in his side. Starfire woke up because of CG's singing.
"Sorry Gar, but you can't sing. You went a quarter tone sharp, you sound like a poor dog that's been hit by a truck and is slowly dieing," said Raven. Cyborg started cracking up and than everyone including Raven laughed their heads off. Soon five minutes later, they arrived at Wal-Mart. WW, Cyborg and Bee got out of the T-Car. Then Batman got out after WW got out of the vehicle. WW got the wheel chairs and unfolded them. She wheeled both of them to CG's and Raven's side of the car. WW opened the door and Cyborg helped WW get Raven out of the car and into the wheel chair. They wheeled Raven and Starfire's wheel chair out of the way to let CG out of the car. Then CG got out of the way and took Raven and her wheel chair. Bumble Bee grabbed Starfire's wheel chair, wheeled it over to the same side of the car and helped WW and Cyborg get Starfire and her blanket on the wheel chair. Bee wheeled Starfire out of the way so they could let NW out. NW wheeled Starfire to the Opening of Wal-Mart, while CG wheeled Raven to Wal-Mart, and Cyborg, Bee, Batman and WW followed them to Wal-Mart too. When they got inside, they made a plan.
"Bumble Bee and I will take Starfire and Raven shopping," said WW.
"Okay, me and the guys will go shopping then we'll buy a tree," said Cyborg.
"We'll meet back at the T-Car at 2:00p.m.," said Batman. Everyone nodded and started walking through the store. WW wheeled Starfire, while Bee was wheeling Raven around.
Soon 2:00 p.m. rolled around and the girls had their gifts wrapped and in bags. The bags were in the back of the seats. The girls were sitting in the T-Car waiting for the guys.
"Where are they?" asked Raven. Soon at 2:30p.m., the guys walked back to the T-Car with bags of wrapped gifts. Cyborg had a pretty big Spruce tree over his shoulders.
"Sorry we're late; NW and Batman had to pick special gift for a special someone," said CG teasingly. Batman gave CG a very hard glare behind his sunglasses.
Later
The Christmas tree up was set in the common room right in front of the common room TV and window. It decorations and a gorgeous star was on top. The presents were underneath the tree. It was 10:00p.m.
"I'm going to bed," said WW as she got up off the sofa. Everyone else was watching a movie called 'I'll be Home for Christmas' on the sofa. Two minutes later, the movie finished.
"I'm going to bed too," said Batman.
"Where can they stay?" asked Starfire.
"Batman can stay in Raven's old room, Wonder Woman can stay in your old room and Bee can stay in Cyborg's room on the floor," NW replied to Starfire.
"That'll be fine," said WW happily as she exited the room with her suit case while singing 'The First Noel.'
After she left, NW said to Batman, "I can see why you feel in love with her."
"I don't love her, and I never will fall in for love anyone. I won't make the same mistake," Batman hissed as he headed towards Raven's old room.
"Sure you won't," said CG sarcastically.
"I'm sure he will. While we were still in the T-Car, I read his mind and it showed that deep down inside he does care for her," said Raven.
"No doubt about that," said Bee. CG helped Raven into her wheel chair and NW helped Starfire into hers. Cyborg pushed rewind on the remote. The tape began rewinding.
"That movie was too happy," said Raven changing the subject. While she was talking, CG wheeled her to his old room.
"That was a very wonderful movie," said Starfire. NW wheeled Starfire to his room. Cyborg drank the rest of his cocoa because he was waiting for the tape to rewind. Bee was about to leave when she noticed Cyborg wasn't going to bed.
"Sparky, aren't you going to bed?" Bee asked in a concerned tone of voice.
"Yeah, I am but I'm going to rewind the tape first," Cyborg replied. 2 minutes later the tape stopped rewinding. Cyborg walked over to the big screen TV, pushed eject on the VCR, grabbed the tape and put it in its case on the stand. Cyborg yawned, walked over to the door that lead to the bedrooms and put the lock down on the tower. Bee followed him to the door.
"Good night Sparky," said Bee merrily.
"Good night Bee," said Cyborg merrily. They stood in the door way. Bee looked up and her face went pale. Cyborg looked up too and saw mistletoe. Bee and Cyborg leaned forward and kissed anyway. Cyborg wrapped his arms around Bee's waist and deepened the kiss.
"Sparky...I love you," said Bee happily when they broke the kiss. She leaned in his chest.
"I love you too Bee," said Cyborg. Then he picked Bee up bridal style.
"SPARKY!" Bee cried in a very surprised tone of voice.
"Come on let's go to my room," said Cyborg teasingly as he carried Bee to his room.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...
Soon it was morning everyone was in the common room except Batman, WW, NW and Starfire. Only CG was eyeing all of his presents with a hunger to rip them all open in his eyes. Raven was in her wheel chair reading one of her books, while shaking her head at CG's childish ways. Cyborg was making breakfast in the kitchen, while Bee was setting up the table for breakfast.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...
WW woke up in the cold room on Starfire's bed. She sat up in Starfire's bed and looked at the clock. It read 7:00 a.m. WW got dressed in a outfit similar to the one she wore for the trip to Wal-Mart the day before. But instead of a coat she wore a green and red sweater. She also wore blue jeans, and only socks covering her feet.
"I might as well go to the common room," said WW merrily as she walked from Starfire's room towards the common room. She stopped at the door of Raven's old room that Batman was staying in. She knocked twice on the door.
"Bruce?" asked WW warmly. Batman opened the door. He looked like he'd been up for quite a while. He didn't have his hero suit on but he wore black jeans, white socks and a dark blue sweater. His blue eyes looked into WW's eyes too. Their faces were about 1 and a half feet apart from each other.
"What is it Diana?" asked Batman in a monotone voice.
"Don't tell me you don't believe in Christmas?" asked WW as she looked passed him into Raven's dark and gloomy room.
"I don't really like Christmas," he replied.
"Everyone's counting on you to be there. Besides the League voted on us to take this holiday break from being a superhero," said WW.
"Alright," Batman said reluctantly and coldly and he and WW walked into the room. As they walked towards the common room door, NW turned the corner while wheeling Starfire behind Batman and WW towards the common room. Batman and WW stepped to the side to let Starfire and NW through to be polite to the common room. NW stopped pushing Starfire in the common room door way when everyone pointed above the door way. NW and Starfire looked up at the same time. NW smiled, kneeled and kissed Starfire affectionately on the lips for 10 seconds then they smiled merrily as they headed towards the sofa.
"I love you Richard," said Starfire in a very merry tone.
"I love you too Star. I always have and always will," said NW warmly as he continued pushing Starfire towards the tree. WW and Batman reluctantly walked and stopped in the door way and kissed each other. CG took a photo of Batman and WW under the mistletoe kissing. WW ignored it because it was after all Christmas. Batman gave CG a hard glare. They walked over to the other Titans.
"Let's open presents!" cried CG in a very eager and happy tone.
"Okay, while you four were still in your bed rooms, we drew names on who's going first and Batman's first," said Raven. Everyone piled presents on or near Batman's lap except WW. A small hint on happiness was shown on his face.
"First one is from... Garfield," said Batman as he opened the present. He got a new black cape from CG.
"Thanks," said Batman to CG. CG was smiling from ear to ear. Next he opened Cyborg's gift to him. It was a picture of all the heroes and heroines. Batman nodded his thanks to Cyborg. Then he opened Raven's gift. Her gift to Batman was a book title 'How a Sane Man Went Insane.'
"Thanks Raven," said Batman in an 'I guess' voice. Raven shrugged. Then he opened NW's gift. The gift was a picture of NW when he was young in Batman's care.
"Thanks Dick," said Batman quietly. Then he opened Starfire's gift. Starfire's gift was a map of the cities. Batman looked a little surprised at the gift. Starfire turned red in embarrassment.
"I didn't know what to get you...," said Starfire quietly.
"It's okay," said Batman. Then he opened Bee's gift. It was a nicely polished bat-a-rang. Batman gave Bee a weird look.
"Where's your gift Diana?" Batman asked.
"I thought I'd save it for last," said WW as she gave him a gift that was a little bigger then an ice cube. He opened it. It was a gold locket type for guys.
"Thank you," said Batman quietly.
Next were CG's gifts. A/N to save time, I'll just list what they got from who. This chapter is FAR too long for me. CG got a 'Mega Monkeys 5' from Cyborg. He got a beautiful locket from Raven, a hair kit from Speedy, a free ticket to visit Atlantis from Aqualad, a straight Jacket from Mos y Menos, a photograph of CG and Raven on the sofa asleep together from NW, a cheat book for the Game Station from WW, a movie titled 'Wicked Scary's Return,' from Batman, 'Wicked Scary's Revenge,' from Starfire and a nice green scarf from Bee.
Next were NW's gifts. NW got a new cape from Cyborg, a book called 'How the World Went to Hell," from Raven, some hair gel from Speedy, a ticket to Atlantis from Aqualad, a picture of all the titans including Titans East were all standing together in front of the Titans East's' tower from Mos y Menos. CG gave a CD of the group 'Loverboy'; WW gave him a new grappling hook, Batman gave him a check for $20.00, Starfire gave him a gorgeous Tamaranian locket for males of her planet and Bee gave NW a red and green scarf.
Next were Starfire's gifts. Starfire got a nice bracelet from Cyborg, a book called 'Christmas Time,' from Raven, some strawberry shampoo from Speedy, a ticket to Atlantis from Aqualad, a diamond necklace from Mos y Menos.
"Do they know I am engaged?" Starfire asked after she received Mos y Menos' gift. NW was boiling with anger and jealously.
"I'll talk to them REAL soon," NW said very seriously.
"Please Richard it's Christmas," said Starfire gently. NW calmed down quiet a ways but not all the way. Starfire then got a nice CD of the group 'Abba' from CG, a gorgeous red dress from WW, a beautiful gold necklace from NW, a red and green scarf from Bee and a nice light blue winter jacket from Batman.
Then was Cyborg's turn to open gifts. He got a car manual from Starfire, a book called 'If only my life wasn't so hard,' from Raven, a blank computer chip from Speedy, a ticket to Atlantis from Aqualad, a 'Every language converter upgrade chip' from Mos y Menos. 'Extreme Raceway' game for the Game Station from CG, a CD from the group 'Styx' from WW, a memory card ship from NW, a gorgeous red and green scarf from Bee and a book called 'How to Build the Star Trek Enterprise ship,' from Batman
Raven opened her gifts. She got a dark blue sweater from Starfire, a book called 'How Hell Began,' from Cyborg, a hair kit from Speedy, a ticket to Atlantis from Aqualad, a picture of CG from Mos y Menos, a book called 'How to Kill Your Father,' from WW, a beautiful dark blue necklace with a raven on it in the middle from CG, a red and green blanket from NW, a green scarf from Bee and a dark blue scarf from Batman.
Bee opened her gifts. She got yellow and black sweater from Starfire, a gorgeous gold necklace with her real name printed on it in gold letters from Cyborg, some hair gel from Speedy, a ticket to Atlantis from Aqualad, a picture of her and Cyborg on the sofa in the Titans East common room from Mos y Menos, a yellow dress from WW, a CD of the group 'Pat Benatar' from CG, a red blanket from NW, a blue scarf from Batman and Raven got her a book called 'How love Turned Things From Bad to Worse.'
WW opened her gifts. She got a red, white and blue sweater from Starfire, a nice red scarf from Cyborg, a mace similar to Hawk Girl's from Bee, a picture of her and Batman kissing under the mistletoe in the T-Car from CG, a green blanket from NW, Raven got her a scrapbook, and Batman got her a gold necklace with her name printed in gold letters in the front. A/N Sorry the gifts suck that everyone got but...I had MAJOR writers block on what they wanted and what they'd give to each other. I'm sorry.
Everyone put their gifts to the side and got comfortable on the sofa. Raven wheeled herself to the kitchen with Bumble Bee to get some hot chocolate. Outside it was like a blizzard. 5 minutes later Bee and Raven handed out hot chocolate to everyone except Raven, Batman and WW. Raven preferred herbal tea, Batman wanted coffee as well as WW. Raven, Batman and WW went back to the kitchen to fix themselves something else to drink. Then those three returned back to the sofa.
"I'm going to the bedroom," said Raven quietly as she wheeled herself to CG's room. CG stopped talking to Cyborg and a look of pure concern spread across his face when Raven left the room. CG followed her back to the room.
"What's wrong Raven?" CG asked in a very concerned tone of voice.
"I just never believed in Christmas. I thought Christmas could only be felt with true happiness, love, and all the other happy emotions. I have never experienced any of these emotions except love. Being with you on the team all these years has released the feeling known as love," Raven replied quietly as she wheeled herself to the window sill.
"Raven, you can experience any emotions you want. By experiencing love, you showed that you can experience any emotion if you sent your mind to it," said CG gently. Raven looked at CG with tears swelled up in her eyes. She smiled to him.
"Do you mean it?" Raven asked.
"Yes, believe it or not you have experienced another emotion many times," replied CG.
"What's that?" Raven replied.
"Laughter and smiling, is a sign of happiness," said CG.
"You're right. I never realized it before," said Raven as CG moved closer to her and hugged her shoulders. They kissed affectionately on the lips.
"I love you Raven. Remember that," said CG.
"I love you too Garfield," Raven replied.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...
"Richard, there was something I wanted to tell you. Could we discuss it in private?" Starfire asked. NW nodded in understanding.
"Sure Star," said NW warmly. NW wheeled Starfire to his room. When they got to his room, he wheeled Starfire to his bed.
"I was wondering...could we get married?" asked Starfire timidly. Was it just NW's imagination or did Starfire act like he was going to reject her or hit her?
"I think it's been a long enough wait. Sure let's get married," said NW warmly. Starfire looked up at him with hope and tears filling her eyes.
"Do you mean it?" Starfire asked.
"I mean every word," said NW went he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...
Cyborg and Bee left the room and headed towards Cyborg's room.
Batman and WW were sitting on the sofa. There was a long silence before they began speaking.
"When is the League expecting us back?" asked Batman breaking the very uneasy silence.
"I don't know... Clark said to take as much time as we wanted off," said WW as she stared outside at the heavily falling snow. WW sat next to Batman on the sofa. To her left were all the gifts that everyone got and to her right was Batman.
"We could stay a little longer," replied Batman after 2 minutes. WW blushed.
"What's wrong?" Batman asked.
"Look above us," she replied. Batman reluctantly looked up and saw mistletoe. They leaned forward slowly and kissed each other. After they kissed, they separated and leaned on each other shoulder.
"Maybe this Christmas won't be so bad after all," thought Batman.
When Bee and Cyborg got in Cyborg's room, they walked over to his bed. Bee and Cyborg looked up at the same time and saw mistletoe. They sat on the bed, leaned forward and kissed each other.
"I love you Victor," said Bee dreamily after they broke the kiss.
"I love you too Karen," said Cyborg lovingly.
"This is turning out to be a wonderful Christmas after all," thought Cyborg.
Wow! I can't believe this was 16 pages! I never dreamed I could write a chapter SO long! The reason it was so long because I wanted to fit in Christmas for the Titans before Christmas in real life actually came. Well I got my wish. I'm sorry if there are any spelling errors but I'm not proof reading this long chapter... It'll take me forever. Please read and review it's Christmas... I'm finished typing up this chapter because I don't have school today, the roads where I live are so icy that the buses are 1 1/2 hours late, the roads are literally ice rinks and the schools where I live are closed. Yay! I got an ice day instead of a snow day! Merry Christmas everyone and have a very happy New Year!
Sincerely,
CatGirl R and S Fan
P.S Because this chapter was so long, I'm not updating for a couple weeks or more. Please read and review!
