The next morning, Raven rolled over and came face to face with Beastboy, who was snoring quietly. She gently placed a kiss on his nose. His nose twitched which made Raven giggle. Quietly she slipped from her bed which was very ripped. She considered her clock. Her eyes widened when she saw the digits: 7:50am. They had combat practice in 10 minutes!
Raven turned back to her lover and shook him rather violently.
"Dude! 5 more minutes...Mrhhph..." Beasboy said, sleepily.
"Beastboy. I'm pregant." Raven lied. Beastboy's eyes snapped open and he sat up, straight as an arrow. He jumped from the bed in front of her.
"Are you serious!?" He asked.
"Nope. Just wanted you to get up. We have practice in 10 minutes." She said, smirking.
"Not funny, Raven. You freaked me out!" He replied, smirking back.
"That was the plan." She answered blankly. He leaned closer and kissed her gently on the lips. He came away and looked at the bed.
"Woah. Heh. Guess things got a little wild last night, huh?" He assumed.
"Just a bit." Raven agreed, "C'mon. Get going. You need to get going we now have practice in...5 minutes! Go!"
She gently pushed Beastboy out of her room, laughing slightly.
"See you in a few, baby." He grinned. She shuddered at his pet name again. Gosh, how she loathed pet names. At least, she could deal with Rae.
"Uh yeah." She said, closing her door again. She sat in front of her mirror and dragged a brush through her silky, amythyest hair. She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She then grabbed her cloak and wrapped it around herself, pulling up her hood. She changed from her human form to the black Raven she was quite fond of. Nect minute, she appeared with the others.
"Morning." She declared, a little brighter than she usual said it. Robin and Cyborg turned and grinned, "Hey Rae." They said in unison. Raven braced herself for Starfire's bone crushing hug. Starfire turned to her and her face brightend, "Raven. Greetings!" She beamed, collecting Raven into a bone cracking hug.
"UGH! Ow. Morning, Starfire." She gasped as she was released. Beastboy suddenly appeared by there side.
"Okay, Titans. Let's start with...Cyborg." Robin selected. Beastboy mumbled something to himself which Cyborg caught of.
"You got something to say to me!?" He asked, seething already
"Maybe!" Beastboy defended.
"Well, say it again then!"
"Don't wanna."
"Say it. Or do you want me to break you until you do?"
"Ha, I'd like to see you try."
"Don't tempt me..." The boys inched in, scowling as they got closer.
"Stop it!" Starfire snapped, jumping in the middle of the two and pushing them away from one another. Both boys huffed and turned away from eachother.
"Friends. What has you so angry?" Starfire asked, clasping her hands together and pulling them to her chest.
"Oh. I'll tell you, Star. Beastboy and Raven spied on me when I was out last night." Cyborg informed her.
"Beastboy. Raven. Is this true?" She queried. Raven nodded, getting a little ashamed of what she did.
"Yeah. But, Cyborg has been keeping a secret from all of us! He and bumblebee are dating! We all told you when we were dating someone, Cy. Or did you forget that!?" Beastboy hissed.
"Cyborg. Does Beastboy speak the truth also?" Starfire wondered.
"Yeah. Look, guys. I was going to tell you. Just not straight away. I'm still getting used to it myself." Cyborg admitted. Starfire glanced from Cyborg to Beastboy and back at Cyborg.
"In truth. You should both apoligize. Cyborg. You should apologize to Beastboy for not trusting him with your secret and for keeping it a secret. Beastboy, You should apologize for spying and for being a trepasser on Cyborg's personal life." Reasoned Starfire, crossing her arms over her chest. Cyborg and Beastboy considered this for a moment and gave small smiles to each other.
"Man, I'm sorry." Cyborg gushed.
"Me too. Forgive me, dude?" Asked Beastboy.
"Nothing the gamestation can't solve, later." Cyborg suggested. He and Beastboy gave each other a high five.
"Cyborg? I'm sorry too." Raven added.
"Ah. Don't worry, Rae. I know you only helped Beastboy out." He answered. Starfire jumped with happiness and clapped her hands. Cyborg flickered away from the fluffiness and looked at Robin. "Let's get it started!" He hollered, happily.
"Okay. Titans. I need someone to help me with controls." He invited. Raven and Beastboy didn't want to help and began talking as Cyborg got ready for his turn.
"I will help you, Robin." Starfire accepted, beaming.
"Cool. Come on Star." He said, beginning to walk to the controls as Starfire floated over next to him. Beastboy eye them as they went with eachother.
"Amazing. Isn't it?" Raven said.
"What is?" Beastboy returned.
"Well. Think about it. They broke up yesterday and today they act like best friends again."
"I guess. But Star and Robin are always gonna be like that."
"I know. They have a seriously deep connection. It's nice."
"Aw. Is Raven getting all loved up?" Beastboy cooed. Raven scowled at him.
"Shut up." She said, blankly.
Starfire was assigned to push some buttons to start setting up the macheines. Robin was also clicking buttons to set up the course. Suddenly, they're hands fell upon a purple buttton and Robin felt his hand get hot from Starfire's skin. They both quickly retracted their hands. Robin studied Starfire who blushed a bright red and smiled slightly. "Achem. Uhm...Countdown initiated. Cyborg begins on your command." She said, idly playing with a strand of red, gorgeous hair.
"Huh? Oh...Uh...right. Cyborg begin...now." He shouted to Cyborg. Cyborg dashed into the course and began dodging explosions and hits.
After all had finished practice, the alarm sounded. Robin ran to the computer.
"Who's it this time?" Cyborg asked.
"Red X. He's at the warehouse. Let's go!" Robin commanded. The team sped out of the tower.
"Robin. Where are you going?" Starfire questioned as Robin made for the garage.
"I'm riding the R-cycle."
"Why...Why don't you fly with me?" Starfire invited, holding her hands out to Robin. It felt weird. Usually, he would have just accepted but considering they only broke up yesterday it was a little strange. But, they had done it so many times before they were a couple. Robin placed his hands in Starfire's. "Let's fly." Robin said. Starfire smiled and nodded before taking to the sky.
They spotted Red X in the warehouse.
"Red X. What are you doing here? There's nothing to steal." Robin stated.
"Yeah. Just checking on my little hostage." He said, signalling to a crate of which a girls muffled shrieks were coming.
"Titans! Go!" Robin bellowed, jumping forward, bow staff at the ready. Robin frantically jabbed at Red X, who dodged them quite swiftly ending the charade by throwing a kick which happened to be against Robin's jaw. Robin was sent flying into the wall and slid into some crates. Raven encased some crates in her black magic and hauled them at Red X. He threw some X blades which cut through the crates and sliced Raven's uniform. Beastboy gasped and changed to a bear and caught him in a bear hug. Red X fidgeted and placed an Electricity X on his arm, electrifying the changeling. Beastboy released him and changed back to human form whilst falling to the ground. Cyborg was aiming for him but Red X noticed him and slung a Goo X in his direction, clogging his sonic cannon.
"Aw man!" He moaned. Red X jumped and punched Cyborg, sending him into a wall. Starfire threw a starbolt at Red X from behind. He fell but quickly got back up.
"Aw. C'mon, cutie. You don't really hate me, do ya?" He asked, smirking.
"Yes. I feel hatred for those who endanger my friends!" She returned, hovvering in front of him. He quickly pulled a constricting X at her, catching her off guard and slamming her into the wall. She became pinned to the wall. She struggled and fought against it but sighed in defeat when she couldn't move. "Urgh!" She grunted, giving up and just remained pinned to the wall. Red X slid down the wall and seem to just float but Starfire couldn't see what he was standing on.
"Ugh. Urgh. Release me!" She commanded.
"I'd rather leave you and just stare at your pretty face." Red X soothed. Robin was getting up and his blood began to boil as he saw Red X flirting with her, yet he wasn't strong enough to attack just yet. Starfire growled as Red X stroked her face.
"You know. Starfire. You truely are beautiful." Red X commented,
"I...have never been called beautiful by...you before...Red X." She stuttered, finding herself gazing at Red X.
"Why don't you ditch that bird boy and go out with me?" Red X asked, grinning.
"Simply because I am not dating Robin." She defended.
"Well, guess he wouldn't mind if I did this..." He trailed off. He lifted his mask partly showing nothing but his lips. He leaned forward and crushed his lips against Starfire's. Her eyes widened the whole time he was kissing her. Robin stumbled, fuming and seething by seeing Starfire being kissed by Red X. He finally managed to get up. Red X pulled away. Starfire gawped at him as he pulled his mask back into place.
"You...You kissed me?" Starfire stammered, quietly.
"Seems that way. Catch ya later. Oh. And I meant what I said about being beautiful..." He whispered as he dove out by kicking a weak part in the ceiling.
"Starfire. You okay?" Beastboy asked as they walked over to her. She nodded not listening very carefully.
"Erugh. X got away. At least we're all okay." Cyborg said, looking up at Starfire, still pinned to the wall, "Mostly okay."
Raven's eye glowed white as she used her mind to get Starfire down. She delicately fluttered to the ground. The rest of the team were talking about what to do about Red X. She just kept staring at the ground, blushing a crimson red and holding two slender fingers to her bottom lip, reliving the kiss in her mind. Robin noticed her blushing and...smiling! He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
"Let's go home." He said and abruptly Starfire looked up at him, fearing that he had seen her. It was pretty obvious the rest of the team had seen her little make out session. She stood there as her eyes drifted from her mobilizing team to the ground again. She had suddenly developed the feelings for Red X. But. She was confused as she also still felt these emotions for Robin. Suddenly, a voice snapped her out of her trance. Robin.
"Starfire. Come on." He said, bluntly. Yeah. He definately saw her...
