Thanks for reviewing and favoriting everyone! Love you all! :33
I promise, there's more BBRae. Just bare with me! I love including more characters, so the story won't be just about mushy romance and stuff. I love action, romance, mystery, and drama-the whole package!
I know I'm not the only one! xD
"Any news on Slade?" Robin asked Starfire through another transmission.
"No, not yet," Starfire informed him. "However, we have defeated a few of the robotic henchmen today."
"Did you figure out what they were doing or where they where going?"
"We're not sure. But Terra can feel something going on underneath the grounds of the outskirts of Jump. We are going to do the checking out."
"Alright. Send me the coordinates."
"Will do!"
Starfire ended the transmission after doing what she was told. They were finally getting closer to Slade! However, they weren't going to go on without him. Robin told her when they were certain, and when Slade was in action, to call him over. And Operation: Call All Titans was the plan.
Beast Boy was munching on his apple, heading back to his room.
"WAH!" he yelped in surprise, dropping his apple, and a black shield wrapped around it to prevent the fruit from making contact with the ground.
"Sorry," Raven appologized, still laying down on her side, facing him. "Did I scare you?"
"Just a little," Beast Boy chuckled, getting his apple and taking another bite. "Wassap? Feelin' a little lonely?" He grinned cheekily, walking over to where she lay.
"When did you change beds?" she wondered, running her fingers along the fabric. Instead of the bunkbed set, Beast Boy had a regular sized bed. And also, built inside the wall across from where she lay, was an aquarium, almost as big as the wall itself. The water was very blue, full of colorful fish, and reflecting off of his girlfriend's face. "And...get an aquarium?"
"It's been a while since you've been in my room, hasn't it?" Beast Boy sat down next to her, still munching. "Well, I figured that I was too old for a bunk-it was getting small anyway. And since Star's got a pet, I thought, 'Why not?'. Besides, I can communicate with the fish and know when to feed them."
"Aqualad would envy you," Raven said, and he nodded happily.
"But then again, he can always jump in the water," Beast Boy pointed out, and Raven nodded, her eyes still on the aquarium. Beast Boy swallowed the apple whole, and Raven watched as he spit out three seeds, all soaring across the room and plopping into the trash can one by one.
Raven sat up, and he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"You're always in my room," Raven told them when they were nose to nose. "So I thought that this would be a nice...little change."
Beast Boy chuckled, and descended his lips on hers.
"Mmm..." Raven sighed against his lips as their kiss deepened, wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands roamed up and down her back, then up to her hood, pulling it down so he could have easier access and see her face.
Now Beast Boy and Raven's physical relationship hadn't gotten that far, because of the recent drama, patrols, and Raven's reluctance because of her emotions. The first time Beast Boy's tongue slithered into her mouth, a book flew across her room and accidently hit him in the head. She was very embarrassed after that.
If they kept this up, his aquarium would break.
With Raven pressed tight against him, he could hear her uneven heartbeat. His enhanced hearing abilities alerted him slightly before they got closer. Beast Boy took her face in his hands and broke their kiss, pulling up his lips.
"Maybe we should..." Raven looked into his eyes. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't appologize, Rae. It's cool," Beast Boy reassured her, despite ignoring his primal side wanting to desperately go further. "Why don't we change into something more comfy?"
"Like what, me wear your clothes?" Raven teased lightly as Beast Boy stood, pulling her with him.
"That's kinda what a typical girlfriend does," Beast Boy told her with a wink, and she smiled. Gesturing towards his dresser, he added, "Pick anything you want."
Raven walked over to his dresser, pulling out the first drawer.
"Except the-!" Beast Boy had said a little too late as Raven pulled out some tighty whities, shrieking and dropping it as if it was on fire. "Underwear drawer..." He finished slowly, and Raven turned her head in his direction.
"Really? You still wear these?" With her powers, she lifted up the white underwear.
"That's not as bad as it seems," Beast Boy said, then added cockily, "Sometimes, I sleep naked."
Raven's body recoiled. "Okay, that was an overshare."
"Oh, don't pretend that you don't love it."
Raven sent a pillow flying in his direction.
"Hey! Watch the hair!"

Later on, Raven walked into the Ops, book in hand. She found Beast Boy and Cyborg on the couch, as usual, playing video games. She sighed, shaking her head. Some things never change.
She heard Beast Boy curse when his character got knocked down to the ground.
"Rematch!" Beast Boy growled.
"Have it your way, bro," Cyborg said with a chuckle, and he restarted the round.
Raven walked closer, now standing behind the couch to watch. After the bet, she had secretly taken a small liking to video games, and only Beast Boy knew about it.
Beast Boy sensed that Raven was there, and he relaxed, leaning back against the couch. Raven released her book, letting it hover above the arm of the couch before dropping it on there, and placed her hands on Beast Boy's shoulders.
The changeling was at ease for that round, and Cyborg had to look over at him to see what had caused him to be quiet for once. Seeing that it was the grey-skinned beauty, he smirked and shook his head, continuing to play.
Beast Boy won that round.
"WHAT?!" Cyborg shouted.
"HELL YEAH!" Beast Boy cheered, then looked up at Raven.
"Congratulations," Raven said with the slightest bit of happiness in her voice.
"You know, Rae, I think you just might be my good luck charm," he replied.
"I doubt that. You just got lucky," Cyborg grumbled.
"Aww, Cy, don't be a sore loser!" Beast Boy said in a teasing tone, and Cyborg made a face at him.
"I'm getting tired of you two playing the same video games all the time," Raven said, now picking up her book from the arm of the couch. "Why don't you get something new?"
The two males exchanged glances, eyes brightening.
"GAMEGO HERE WE COME!" they outbursted, springing up from their seats with excitement.
"I had to ask..." Raven grumbled, then let out a little, "Wah!" as Beast Boy yanked her by the hand and ran out the Ops.
"Terra! We're leaving!" Cyborg called as he and Beast Boy raced passed her bedroom.
Raven paused at the doorway, just as Terra's door slid open, revealing the blonde.
"What's going on?" she asked her.
"I opened my big mouth and now I'm forced to go with them to the video game store," Raven deadpanned.
"GameGo?" Terra asked, and Raven nodded. "Can I come?"
"So I won't be the only girl? Please," Raven said, and Terra smiled and nodded.
After the four got dressed, they stopped by Starfire's room.
"Hey, Star!" Beast Boy said, and Starfire looked up from the Tamaranian book she was reading. "We're going to GameGo. Wanna come with?"
Starfire hesitated.
"No thank you, friends. I appreciate the offer," Starfire told them, and Raven almost looked upset.
"O-kay...well, want us to bring you something back?" Cyborg said. "How does ice cream sound?"
Starfire smiled wide. "Oh, that would be glorious!"
Her friends nodded and smiled at her, excluding Raven of course, and walked off. Starfire's door slid closed, and she sighed.
Her laptop beeped. Starfire reached forward, pulling her laptop in her lap to accept the transmission call.
"Greetings, Robin," she said.
"Hi," he said back. "Sorry for calling again. Our last conversation was...serious, so I hoped that we could talk about lighter subjects?"
"You never have to appologize for calling," Starfire reassured him. "So, what have you been up to?"
"Well..." Robin smiled a little. "A few good friends are over."
"Really? Who?" Starfire then bit her lip. "Or...is it any of my business?"
"I'll tell you, since you already know my identity," said Robin. "And actually, I had told them all about you-and they're completely okay with me telling you this. Especially the batwomen of this family..."
"Bat...women?" Starfire asked.
"There's Katherine Kane-she's Batwoman. Then Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, and Barbara Gordon are Batgirls. Damian Wayne and Tim Drake are...Robin and Red Robin."
"I am the confused," Starfire said. "How can there be three 'Batgirls' and another 'Robin' and...'Red Robin'...? Aren't you Robin?"
"Katherine has red hair, Cassy has short black hair, Steph has long blonde hair, and Barbara has orange hair. Barbara was the first Batgirl out of the three, then Cassy, then Steph," Robin explained. "Cassy and Steph are around our age, and Barbara is...twenty I think. Tim and Damian are younger than me. Tim is fourteen, and Damian is ten."
"I...still don't understand. Wouldn't that be confusing? You all having the same names?"
Robin's gaze turned a little mischievous. "That's what we're working on. Actually, I'm working on a new costume."
"Is it done?" Starfire asked. "May I see it?"
"Maybe," Robin teased.
The door in his room swung open, and three girls and two boys stumbled in the room.
"Guys!" Robin complained.
"It was his idea!" Stephanie complained, pointing to Damian, and Barbara and Cassandra nodded.
"Either way, I was right!" Damian said, dusting himself off. "Dick's talking to that Starfire girl!" He extended his hand towards the other male. "5 bucks, hand it over!"
"Ugh..." Tim grumbled, taking five dollars out of his wallet and gave it to him.
"Ooh, he is!" Stephanie rushed over to where Robin sat, staring through the computer screen. "Hi, Starfire! I'm Stephanie!"
"Hello!" Starfire said back, seeing the others crowd around Robin. "From the brief descriptions, let me do the guessing...Cassandra,...Barbara,...Tim..." As she acknowledged them, each smiled and/or nodded at her. "And you must be Damian!"
The youngest of them all blushed and smiled toothly at her.
"You were right, Rob, she is pretty!" he said, and it was Robin and Starfire's turn to blush scarlet.
"This is my family," Robin said to her almost flatly, and Starfire giggled.

"Hungry?" Red X asked, leaning against the threshold. His eyes glued to Blackfire, with her lavender camisole halfway on, as she pulled her shirt down her tanned stomach. When she turned around to face him, he saw that she was wearing a black ruffle skirt, ripped black stockings, and leather knee-high boots.
"What do you have in mind?" she asked, shrugging on an open-knit black sweater; it came with a hood, the hem nearly dropping to the knees, had buttons, and a tie to the front. She buttoned it up all the way, tieing the straps.
"I'm thinking...Mexican or Chinese," Red X said, smiling behind his mask. "Pick one."
Blackfire smirked, pulling her hood over her head.
The two, after managing to stop laughing at the confused and annoyed Chinese chef, sat across from each other in a nearby alley. As Blackfire ate her rice and shrimp with chopsticks, she watched Red X eat; he had his mask raised enough to reveal his mouth and chin. His skin was pale, for lack of sun because he slept most days, his lips were full and naturally pink, his teeth pearly white, and he had no upper lip hair. Or at least he kept it shaved.
Since they decided to stick together for the time being, Blackfire has never seen his face. Her curiosity was at its peek. What color were his eyes? His hair? The mysterious boy lived in an abandoned warehouse, where he redesigned himself to make it look like a house. The two bedrooms were in well shape, as well as dark and simple, which Blackfire took to liking. There had been a kitchen, den, flatscreen, some DVDs, and other various items. The bedroom she had been staying in was designed by her herself (with X's assistance to get the comforter and other stuff she wanted).
"Sweet and sour sauce?" he asked her, and it surprised her how different his voice sounded. It was a nice difference from the Robin-robotic tone.
"No thanks," Blackfire replied, watching him use the packet instead.
They were quiet again after that. Blackfire let her eyes wander elsewhere. From there, she could see a giant T in the distance, yellow from all the lights being on.
Her eyes narrowed as she thought about her younger sister.
A newspaper article skidded across the street by the wind. Ironically, it decided to land in her lap, and the headline title caught her attention.
Titans New Training Suits
Blackfire arched an eyebrow.
Red X noticed what had caught her attention, watching her read with interest. He had seen that headline weeks ago.
"The suits are in the training room," he said.
Blackfire glanced at him. "How do you know that?"
"I've broken into the Tower before," he said with a toothy grin. "Not my fault I did a little snooping before I left."
A smirk pulled at the corners of her mouth.
"Whaaaat are you thinkin'?" Red X asked curiously.
"I think..." Blackfire looked back at the Tower, "it's time to pay sister dear a visit."
Oooh, cliffy! Haha, I'm evil ^.^
I'm actually glad I included the Bat Family in this story! I think they'd make a great use for the future chappies...:) I'm still doing my research, and I just summed up their ages. Actually, I got inspired by Unmasked by *Quirkilicious on DeviantArt. If you haven't seen this picture, look it up! It's amazing! And when I saw Jason Todd, I was like, hmm...;) These references would be good to imagine in your head as you read.
Review!
