Alright this chapter is pretty short but that's what this whole story is about. Lot's of short chapters to make one long, good story!
Humor: Robin comes into the bathroom half asleep and goes to the bathroom. Unknowing that the water is flowing he flushes. Instead of leaping and screaming about how hot the water is, Ruby's ears flicker and she lowers her tense shoulders. "Ah finally the water got warm."
Beast Boy walked into the entrance of the tower roof, blocking his eyes from the instant glare of the sunrise. He saw Raven's darkened shadow in the array of bloody orange and violet colors that the clouds emitted. He smiled placing his hand around her waist and gave her a great dumb smile. She glared towards him and cocked her head. "Okay what do you want?"
"I heard about what you did. Buying those clothes for Ruby. Why?"
"The other clothes she wore stank like high heaven. Besides who knows when's the last time she changed."
"Come on…" he placed his finger underneath her chin, "There's gotta be another reason why…"
"Okay fine…maybe I trust her a little. And maybe I want her to live better than she has been. You would too if you had read her mind." She turned, crossing her arms with a pouty lip, blinking slowly. She watched dolphins below ride on the green-blue waves of the ocean below, how they danced and collected in groups. And there were six…not five.
He flinched slightly after she faced the other way and grabbed her shoulder lovingly. "You did what?"
"I read her mind. It was full of blood and darkness, loneliness but yet an unnatural reason for her to be kind to those who shunned her." She took off her hood and faced the opposite way of the beaming sun. A miracle arrived; her eyes were sparkling like the last remaining star in the fading darkness. She crossed her arms and titled her head, "Come on, let's go eat some breakfast." As a final saying in the conversation, she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. The green of the bridge of his nose turned pale pink as he rubbed the back of his head. "Are you still mad about the tofu thing?"
"Anger wears off. Besides it's perfectly normal for a couple to bicker. It's not healthy for one person to hold a grudge for so long a time."
By the time they arrived, Ruby was hacking away on the Gamestation 3 severely beating Cyborg at the racing game. She jumped and hollered, bouncing up and down when the game ended announcing her winner.
Suddenly the red beam flashed on and off, signaling the Titans of trouble in the City. "Show the screen." Robin barked as he ran in, the cape following gracefully.
The map showed the downtown area where a tall muscular-built man was terrorizing citizens wearing a suit of armor that had computer circuits integrated into his outfit. "Great…it's the System. He's a newer villain like Hoverboard but that doesn't make these newer ones any less dangerous."
"Perhaps it is because we are still teens that is the reason why they are becoming younger?"
"That would make sense." Ruby told.
Robin looked to her shyly, "This will go towards you being a part of the team. We'll see how worthy you are. In the meantime…Titans Go!"
