Cyborg, Raven and Beastboy stood in the living room, huddled around the main computer. Robin walked in and immediately switched from gooey-lovey boyfriend to detremind, obsessive Titans leader. "Who is it this time, Cyborg?" Robin asked, joining them. Cyborg typed furiously on the keyboard and a large picture of Johnny rancid flood the screen.
"Too bad the Titans East went home yesterday," Raven pointed out
"Ugh. I'm way to tired to fight, though!" Beastboy moaned. Raven glanced at him and gave a small smie and joined him, hugging him. Beastboy smiled at her but Raven began to blush and started to pull her hood up. Her dark yet dazzling blue eyes shone as the shadow of her hood hid the rest of her facial features. Inside her, Love and Happiness had their hands held tightly together and were bouncing all over her mind screaming with joy. Starfire suddenly appeared at the screen and gasped, "What is the Johnny Rancid doing this time?" She asked, staring at the screen. Everyone gasped and jumped as they heard her voice, not seeing her walk in.
"Star. Don't do that!" Cyborg laughed.
"Do what?" Starfire asked, tilting her head.
"You just startled us, Starfire." Raven informed her.
"Oh. Forgive me friends. I..." She apoligized being cut off by Robin.
"Let's go Titans!" He commanded and ran towards the door. The rest of the Titans glanced at eachother and shrugged. Cyborg ran out after, grabbing his T car keys as he left followed by Beast boy who turned into a teradactle. Starfire's eyes glowed green and she began to float after the boys but Raven rested a hand on her shoulder. Starfire turned to her dark friend, letting her eyes simmer.
"Uh. Starfire..." Raven hesitated.
"Yes, friend, Raven?" She asked, beaming at her and blinking happily. Raven thought about asking her but she seemed happy enough for Raven to believe so she shook her head.
"N...Nothing. Nevermind. Let's go..." Raven said, her eyes glowing white in unison with Starfire's whose turned bright green. The girls chased after the boys and soon caught up with them. The titans zoomed down the street keeping their eyes peeled for Rancid.
"So...Anyone know what Rancid's after?" Raven asked, bluntly.
"No idea. But when had Johnny Rancid ever had a reason for destroying the city?" Robin replied.
"Good point..." Raven admitted. Finally, they found a figure chuckling as he threw unusual exploding devices.
"He has explodey things!" Beastboy notified.
"Sharp as a tac..." Raven muttered, rolling her eyes.
"Really? Thanks Rae!" He said, actually believeing her. She rolled her eyes again but smiled slightly. The chuckling figure was standing on the balconey of the Pizza resteraunt but abruptly stopped laughing as he jumped down and saw the Titans coming towards him.
"Jealous, losers!?" He asked, grinning. Anger boiled in all of them.
"Whatcha want, Rancid?" Cyborg growled, setting his sonic cannon.
"Just testin my new gear!" He cackled, throwing an explosion in their direction which he pulled from his belt he was wearing around his waist.
"Titans, move!" Robin commanded. The titans scattered from their postition and sprang into action. Cyborg shot at Rancid, who unfortuantely kept dodging them.
"Time for the beastboy blitz!" Beastboy announced, running at Cyborg. He jumped and quickly changed to an ardvark and curled into a ball. Cyborg catched him and launched the changeling at Rancid, who blew him away with yet another explosion. Beastboy immediately fell back into the robot's arms.
"Ugh. Is it me, or are we getting our butt's kicked?" He asked, shaking his head. Raven and Cyborg glared at him,
"It's just you." They said blankly in unison. Raven's eyes glowed a bright, white and a nearby bus was suddenly covered in black energy and was hauled at Johnny. He tried ducking but was knocked onto the ground. He grinned evily and jumped back up onto the Pizza balcony.
"Hahah! You guys are worse than the last time!" Chuckled Johnny.
"We shall see about that!" Starfire barked.
"Bring it on, red-head." He replied, readying explosions. He began pelting them at her from above. She gasped as they headed for her but she performed a handspring, landing on a car roof, dodging them, tactfully. She grinned as Johnny gasped. She flew forwards, punching him in the face, hard. He let out a yelp of pain as he was knocked off the balcony onto the cold ground. Starfire landed in between Beastboy and Cyborg who both looked at her knuckles as she shook off the aftershock of the impact. Beastboy gazed in awe, "Dude..." He began. Starfire looked up at him expectantly.
"That was AWESOME!" He admired, high fiving her.
"Star, your hand ite?" Cyborg asked her, chuckling at the two younger minded Titans.
"I believe so, but Rancid has not been stopped yet!" She replied, dashing forward again.
"You gotta give that girl props, dude." Cyborg approved.
"Yeah. She never gives up!" Beastboy agreed, both dashing forward again. Raven hovvered next to Johnny, thinking he was unconcious. "Ugh. Why do you even keep trying?" She mumbled. She gasped as he rose to his feet and shoved her hard, causing her to be thrown backwards 10ft. "Raven!" Beastboy let out, changing to a cheetah. Robin jumped forward and grabbed his bow staff, striking Rancid and knocking him into the doors of the Pizza resteraunt as Robin back flipped off of the balcony. Beastboy then attacked him by sweeping his tail into Rancid for hurting Raven whilst Cyborg frantically blasted him with his sonic cannon. Rancid remained on the ground of the balcony. Robin peered through the smoke. "Sieze fire..." He yelled, waiting to see if Rancid got up. Starfire flew a little closer with Raven watching her, "Starfire, Don't!" She warned. Starfire glanced round at Raven whose eyes became wide. Suddenly, Johnny jumped up and threw an explosion at Starfire. She glanced round quickly and gasped. The impact caused her to fall towards the ground.
"Starfire!" Robin exclaimed. He jumped forward and struck his arms out which Starfire fell into comfortably. Robin kneeled down, sitting her down but holding her in a slow dance position. (one arms round stomach and one round back.)
She shook her head and flickered her eyes and let out a little sigh of pain.
"Star. You okay?" Robin asked, looking at her.
"I believe so. Thank you for catching me, Robin." She replied, smiling. [EEP! I want to kiss him!] Starfire thought and blushed at it when she heard it in her mind. Their small romantic moment abruptly ended when they heard more laughing. They both snapped their heads up in Rancid's direction, glaring at him.
"Aw! Look at that! Bird Boy's got a girlfriend!" He spluttered, over laughing. Robin gritted his teeth and held back his blush. Without thinking about her feelings, Robin protected his personal life.
"She is not my girlfriend. I don't even like her that way! Your so going down, Rancid!" He threatend. Starfire's eyes widened and she glanced at him. He didn't notice however, as he was still looking at Rancid. As she felt her heart shatter, Raven felt a bad vibe from her. [ So that is what she was thinking about...Poor Starfire] Raven thought to herself. Starfire bit her bottom lip, holding back her tears. Rather roughly, Starfire grabbed Robin's hands and pulled them away from her which Robin was startled by, falling onto his butt onto the ground. Starfire stood up and brushed herself off and her eyes and fists became an illuminated green. In a second of her anger, she looked down at Robin, "Are we to fight him, or not!?" She asked, gruffly. Robin nodded slowly, a little scared of her. She dashed forward and sent eyebeams at Johnny's chest, this time, knocking him into unconcious for real. Cyborg tied up Rancid and handed him over to police.
"Dudes! Anyone up for pizza?" Cyborg and Beastboy suggested in unison.
"Sure." Robin agreed. Starfire closed her eyes and hugged herself and turned,
"No thank you. I shall see you back at the tower, friends..." She whispered louder than a usual whisper.
"Star? What's up?" Robin questioned.
"Nothing." She replied, blankly. Raven's eyes were like a ping pong ball as she looked from Robin to Starfire. Starfire began walking before taking flight.
"Raven. Uh... You up for pizza?" Beastboy asked, hopeful.
"Sorry. Don't feel like it. See you later." She replied, taking flight and following Starfire, never averting her eyes from the tamaranian princess. Robin seriosuly was concerned but thought it should be left to Raven. If anyone knew about emotions, it was Raven. He shrugged and joined the boys...
