Chapter 10- The Teen Titans Gala
The girls returned from the mall, shopping bags in hand, to find the guys in the living room in front of the TV playing the gamestation with a few pizza boxes on the coffee table infont of them.
"Have a nice 'guys day out' boys?" asked Falcon plopping down on the couch beside her boyfriend.
"Yep. I had a blast, aside from the fact I had to pick out Robin's tux because he was too busy GETTING HAIR GELL!" shouted Beastboy. Robin rolled his sunglassed eyes.
"What about you, girls? Did you have fun?" asked Cyborg finishing his 3rd slice of pizza.
"Yeah, it's been nice hanging out with the girls instead of at Titans East playing referre to the boy's fighting." replied Bee.
"They're still not getting along?" asked Raven who was sitting in Beastboy's lap.
"They're better than they used to be, but they still could use some work."
"Hey, what's in the bag, babe?" asked Falcon trying to peek in Bohusk's shopping bag that was conviently placed beside his feet. Bohusk took the bag from his girlfriend and pulled out the pair of black and red trip pants and the black Pandara hoodie.
"What the hell is that?" asked Falcon in a deadpanned voice.
"It's my outfit, babe. You like?" he asked holding the articles of clothing up so the others could see.
"Friend
Bohusk, those are not the clothes of the formal!" shreaked
Starfire.
"Yeah, I know. I don't do suits."
"Nonsence! I will buy you the correct fit of the outting!" Starfire grabbed Bohusk by the back of his jacket and hoisted him up in the air and took off through the conviently open window. Bohusk's screams could be heard clearly from within the tower.
"Ahhh! Let me go you superpowered bitch!! I hate heights!" Starfire dropped him at the 'bitch' comment, causing him to fall into the ocean. By this time, the 6 remaining Titans had gathered around the window to witness the whole thing. Falcon sighed deeply before using her powers to fish Bohusk out of the water.
"What the hell was that for!?" he asked while coughing up seawater.
"You said I was a 'bitch'. So I decided to act the part." said Starfire grabbing a hold of him again and flying off with him.
"Aren't you gonna say something? Your boyfriend was just kidnapped by the 'Queen of Pink' " asked Raven, noticing her sister sitting contently on the couch, staring at the TV.
"As long as she don't make him wear a pink tu-tu i'm fine with whatever she picks out."
A few hours later, Robin, Beastboy, Bee and Cyborg stood in the commons room dressed for the Gala. Robin wore a plain black tux that Beastboy picked out, with a red vest and tie. His hair had been tamed somewhat (Because of a load of hairgell) and a pair of thin, dark sunglasses covered his eyes.
Beastboy wore a dark purple tux with a lavender vest and tie. Cyborg's holorings projected the image of a black tux and golden vest and tie.
Bee was on Cyborg's arm dressed in a bright gold off the shoulder dress with a pair of black heels. A black satin sash sat around her hips. Her thick wavy hair had been french braided with a few baby's breath. A gold necklace and a few gold bracelettes finished off her look.
The doors to the commons opened revealing the two sorceress sisters. Raven wore a long velvet spaghetti strap amythest gown with black beading around the neck and black fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows. The hem of the dress had black lace around it and on her feet were 4 inch heels that criss crossed around her ankles. Her long purple hair was contained in a messy bun with a few curls falling on either side of her face. Her amythest moon necklace finished off her look.
Falcon's gown was a strapless light navy with slits on either side going up to about 2 inches before her hips. White gloves that went up about mid-bicep and black 4 inch heels. Her opal sun necklace shone brightly. Violet locks were softly curled and framed her ivory face.
"Wow, you girls look great!" said Cyborg.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." replied Raven. The door to the room opened again and Robin's jaw dropped. Starfire entered in a red silk cocktail dress. It stopped about midthigh and flared out from the waist. On her feet were a pair of golden heels. Her firey red hair had been put up into an insideout half ponytail with a gold clip.
Robin just stared as she made her way over to him. It wasn't until he felt her take his hand in hisown that he was snapped out of his little daydream.
"Are we all ready to go?" he asked clearing his throat.
"Wait
a minute. Where's Jhonen?" asked Falcon.
"Right here,
Nessa." She turned to see him clad in the pair of black and red
trip pants, the black hoodie and his camo jacket. His hazel eyes
locked on his girlfriend. He'd never seen someone soo beautiful, and
couldn't believe the fact that she was his.
"What happened to the articles of clothing I bought you?!" shreaked Starfire.
"Threw em' away. I told you, suits just aint my thing. But I kept the shoes." he said gesturing to the black italian leather dress shoes on his feet.
"I thought you were gonna wear a suit?" asked Vanessa with her deadpan voice.
"One word babe; (points to Beastboy) Monkey suit." Muffled giggles and laughs were heard as Falcon rolled her eyes.
"Aw, dont' be like that. Look, I got you something while I was out shopping with B.B" He dug around in his coat pocket.
"iPod...no, can of soda...no (Throws it over his shoulder to have Silkie eat it) baseball bat with razor wire...good, but no. Ah, here we go." A black velvet box was produced from the pocket.
"What's this?" asked Falcon taking the box from Bohusk.
She opened it to find a silver heart-shapped locket on a silver chain. A 'V' encased with an 'J' were etched onto the front of it with diamonds.
"It's beautiful." whispered Vanessa as she caressed the smooth silver.
"Just like the one I gave it to." Bohusk took the locket from the box and fastened it around her neck. It hung just a few inches below her choker and looked magnificent against her pale skin.
"Yo guys! Limo's here!" shouted Cyborg from his position at the window.
"You got a limo? Why not just take the T-car?" asked Raven.
"Because the T-car can only fit 5, we've got 8 tonight. Besides, if we gotta ride for an hour and a half, I want us to be comfortable. And I really don't wanna drive tonight!" The Titans entered the long black limo one by one. On one side sat Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and Bee and on the other, Falcon, Bohusk, Raven and Beastboy.
90 minutes later, the limo pulled into the driveway of Titans East. The entire tower was illuminated.
"Senior Cyborg!" shouted two tiny Titans.
"Mas, Menos! Good to see ya!" shouted Cy as he high fived (more like low fived) the twins.
"See, BumbleBee, we can set up for a party without distroying the tower." shot Speedy as he walked up to the 8 Titans. For once in his life, his mask had been removed, showing off his sparkling silver eyes. He wore a suit with an orange vest and tie, his carrot red hair was still slicked back in it's usual state, but he looked good.
"How ya doin' Speedy?" asked Robin as he gave his friend a playful slap on the back.
"Pretty good. I see you finally grew the balls to ask Star out, huh?" Many snickers and giggles were heard from the remaining 7 Titans. Robin blushed a deep red while he shouted, "Will you guys ever let that go?!"
"Relax
Rob. Let's party!" shouted Beastboy. He grabbed Raven's hand,
who in turn latched onto her sister who was holding Bohusk's hand and
ran into the crowd of super heros.
An hour had gone by and
everyone was having a blast. Robin sat at a table chatting with
Speedy, Starfire was with Kole and Pantha, Raven sat talking with
Argent and Jinx, Beastboy and Cyborg preoccupied themselfs at the
foodtable. After many introductions to the rest of the Titans, Bohusk
was currently in a conversation with Lightning, (ironic, I know) when
Lightning pointed out, "Hey, isn't that Aqualad trying to flirt
with your girlfriend?" Bohusk whirled around to see his friend's
last statement true. Anger and a hint of jealousy flashed in in eyes.
His hands darted to his coat pocket and produced the baseball bat
with razor wire wrapped around it.
"Oh, fish man is dead now!" he started off in the direction of the two when Lightning stopped him.
"You know, if Falcon is anything like her sister, she's gonna kill you if you do that." Bohusk stopped in his tracks.
"Well, i'm not just gonna let some water breathing freak steal my girl!"
"I don't blame ya. But I do have a better idea." Lightning whispered something in Bohusk's ear. The hazel eyed boy cracked a wicked smile before thanking his friend and putting the bat back in his pocket. He approached Falcon and Aqualad with as much courtesy as he could manage.
"Hey, i'm Bohusk. I don't think we've met." he said holding out his hand for Aqualad.
"I'm Aqualad. Member of Titan's East." Aqualad took Bohusk's hand only to have 1000 volts of electricity course though his body. He fell to the floor, semi consious.
"Why the hell did you do that for?!" shouted Falcon. A nearby group of balloons burst at her heightened emotions.
"You think I was gonna let AquaFreak here steal you from me? I think not." he said while putting his arm around her waist. Falcon wriggled out of his grip and stared him straight in the eye, her two cerulean orbs now glowing red.
"You will apologize!" her voice now menacing and evil.
'Damn, she is just like Raven!' thought Bohusk to himself.
"Fine. I'll apologize." He helped the still semi consious Aqualad up and pulled him close to his face.
"Look here fishboy. If I see you hittin' on her again, I'll shove a baseball bat soo far up your ass, they'll call you Aqua-fishstick!" his words like pure venom.
Aqualad had no other choice than to agree with him. He walked off and left the couple alone.
"Can I have everyone's attention please!" called BumbleBee from atop the stage in the middle of the ballroom.
"I'd like to thank everyone for comming to the Anual Titan Gala. This is a time for all of us to get to know eachother on a more personal basis rather than on the battle feild. *cheers and applause* I'd also like to recognize our two newest additions to the Titan's team, Bohusk and Falcon! Otherwise known as Jhonen Moore and Vanessa Roth!" Many more cheers and applause erupted from the crowd as the two Titans let a spotlight wash over thier forms.
"And now would last year's Titan King and Queen please take the stage." Robin and Starfire stood and assended the steps to the two microphones placed at the front of it. Robin was the first to speak.
"I hope everyone's having an awesome time tonight, just like we are. It's been great being your Titan King but it's time for someone new to take the throne." He turned to Starfire who was holding a black and silver envelope in the shape of a Titan's comunicator. She opened it and began to speak.
"The new Queen and King of the Titans are... friends Bohusk and Falcon!"
The two were stunned. They'd been part of the Titans less than a week and they'd already been nominated Titan Queen and King. Somehow, though all the maddness, they'd been ushered onstage and were now in front of the mics. Falcon was the first to break the silence.
"Uh, thanks everyone for choosing us as your new King and Queen. As many of you probably already know, I'm Raven's sister and yes, we're identical twins. What elce is their to say?" she asked turning to her boyfriend. He shrugged. Suddenly, music started to play. Falcon looked to her left and saw Beastboy at the DJ booth mouthing for them to sing. Luckily, Falcon and Bohusk knew the song.
Bohusk-
I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But
I run too late
Falcon-
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too
fast
Or too slow it seems
Both-
When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you
Chorus
Both-
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to
you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby
you're the only one I run to
I run to you
We run on
fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin'
right on through
And our love's the only truth
That's why I run
to you
Repeat Chorus X 2 First time Falcon singing, second time Bohusk singing.
When the music faded, the 1000+ Titans cheered and screamed in delight. Bohusk embraced Falcon in a warm and romantic hug. The two were about to kiss, when the audiance chanted, "Oncore! Oncore! Oncore!"
"Give 'em what they want?" asked Falcon.
"Read my mind."
To be continued!... Chapter 11- Oncores and Realizations!
