Teen Titans Tower, the name instills hope into the hearts of many; strikes fear into the hearts others. Teen Titans Tower, it has seen many trying experiences, ranging from simply being haunted to being completely and utterly demolished. Teen Titans Tower has seen trust created, and destroyed. Teen Titans Tower… is currently being redecorated. Yes, redecorated; the residents of the Tower, the Teen Titans of course, were going about their not-so humble abode doing a little spring cleaning. The Teen Titans; Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy; were going about their own cleaning routines. Robin, the daring, masked leader was; with the help of their very own gothic half-demon, Raven, rearranging the Living room. Robin would tell Raven where he wanted something too heavy for him to lift, and she would use her powers to move the objects. Starfire was cleaning the kitchen, she would occasionally squeal or blast something with her star bolts when it caught her by surprise, for example, the blue "fuzzy food" which always seemed to be in abundance. Cyborg was in the garage cleaning and washing his car and robin's motorcycle. He would occasionally stop whatever he was doing to wax his car. He did build it by scratch, so you can't really blame him. Beast Boy, poor, poor Beast Boy was stuck with cleaning his room and trash duty. He, deciding to take the faster, more sanitary task first, took the garbage outside to wait for the trash barge that passed their island on its route. After he had finished that, he built up the courage to enter his room with intent of cleaning it.
"A little to the left," Robin said. Raven adjusted her hands and the couch shifted to the right.
"Your other left"
"Sorry" Raven had been a little behind on her meditation recently, crimes had peaked and they were hardly ever in the tower so, she never had time to meditate. Why isn't she doing that now you ask? Well, that's quite simple, really, with her lack of meditation she had less control of her powers, but that doesn't really explain anything does it? No, I guess not. Maybe this will; she started to feel a new emotion, but she wasn't sure of the source. It was a kind of warm fuzzy feeling, and it felt different when she was with each Titan. Right now it was strongest.
'This is really strange,' Raven mused, when Robin interrupted.
"You don't have to do this, you know. You should be meditating," he said with an unusual hint of concern, "I can handle this," he finished. Raven scoffed at this. Robin had been struggling against the couch when she walked in. She thought it strange that Robin could jump ten feet in the air to kick Cinderblock in the face, but can't handle a 70 lb couch. She decided to voice this.
"You were panting and sweating when I walked in, practically wrestling with the couch. Losing badly, it looked like," 'Not a bad show I might add,' she finished mentally. Robin blushed at this.
"I was Working out earlier," he explained. Raven considered this; he did seem to… bulge?
'Wow, and work out you did Wonder Boy… huh?' Raven shook her head to get the thought out of her head, 'maybe I should go meditate,' she turned to leave, and said over her shoulder, "You sure you can handle this?" she suppressed her smirked.
'That was just dripping with sarcasm, I'll get her back,' he thought, "Yeah, I got it. Ordering you around has given me a good rest," he said with a smirk of his own.
"Touché", with that she walked to her room. A breeze from the open window blew her cloak to the left; this gave Robin a good view of her legs and derrière. He tilted his head to the side a bit, but caught himself and went back to work on that damned couch.
Raven felt his eyes on her body, but didn't feel the urge drop the couch on his head, instead she considered turning around and holding his muscular body and…
'What the?' she quickened her pace, when she got to her room she grabbed her mirror and looked into it. She was pulled into her mind, when she landed she impatiently waited for one her apparitions to show up. After what seemed like hours she shouted out to no one in particular. As her rant died down, Impatience showed herself.
"A bit testy today?" she spat out. Her yellow-orange cloak was a little bolder than normal and she looked taller; this happened when one of Raven's emotions was being expressed.
"Lay off a little," said Intelligence as appeared out of nowhere, "You're not helping"
"Where are the others?" Raven inquired. No sooner had she said this when the rest of her emotions appeared wordlessly behind her, well almost wordlessly.
"We're here!" Happy shouted gleefully. Had Raven not been expecting this, she might have jumped. She turned around and sure enough, there they all were. Happy was running around with her arms out at her sides making airplane noises, Impatience watched with disgust. Courage was at the front of the group with a leader like demeanor that reminded her of Robin. Behind Courage, the rest fell in; Pride in her bright blue, Fear and Timid were standing a little close to Courage. Gluttony scratched her butt and belched, causing Fear to jump. As the others appeared, two unfamiliar ones appeared, one in a dark crimson, the other in pink that resembled Happy's cloak.
"Who are they?" she asked Intelligence.
"That," she indicated the crimson Raven caressing herself, "is Lust, and that," she pointed to pink one, who looked a little out of place "is Love"
"Love?" Raven asked, confused, "And Lust? How did this happen?"
"They just sorta came here, like, poof!" said Happy, giggling at her little joke.
"Seriously, what happened?"
"Exactly that, they just appeared here a couple of days ago," Intelligence responded. Just then Raven heard a familiar sound, it was the alarm. As she turned to leave she looked back at her doppelgangers.
"We'll finish this later," she turned and was pulled back into her room. Robin appeared at her door.
"Trouble"
