A/N: Oi! This is not only Crack!Fic, this is pointless, plotless Crack!Fic. I mean, I didn't even pretend to think up a plot for this. Just...gratuitous...whatever this is...

03: Stuck Together
"We are together clung, yes?"
Beast Boy looked confusedly at Starfire while still trying to move his limbs independently, "What?" he asked.
"The goo," she tried to explain, lifting her arm in an attempt to show Beast Boy the greenish slime that coated them all, and succeeded only in pulling Raven with the movement so that the shorter girl lost her balance and toppled on top of Robin with an ungraceful shifting of arms and legs. "It has stacked us together."
Raven growled, "Somebody tell her to stop doing that," she mumbled under her breath, so that only Robin who was directly beneath her and Cyborg with his cybernetic hearing could hear her.
"Who would've guessed that Plasmus' excretions would congeal like glue when dry?" Cyborg asked, attempting to lighten the mood. Of course, it was easy for him to see the lighter side of the situation since thanks to his bulk and slippery metallic parts, he was almost out of the grip of the goo.
"Dude," Beast Boy groaned, shifting around uncomfortably in the goo, "Do you have to use that word?" he asked, looking as if he would be sick.
"You better not even think about throwing up, Beast Boy, or I'll make you lick this stuff off the floor, do you understand?" Raven's threat lost some of it's menace when she slipped on the mucus like substance and fell, once again, right on Robin.
"You know, not that this mightn't normally present a pleasant circumstance," Robin said calmly, looking up into Raven's eyes, "but the green goo kind of turns me off at present."
Raven was too disgusted, too tired and too pissed off to be embarrassed by the innuendo of her normally stoic leader. Consequently, she managed to work up a good glare before Beast Boy, in a fit of frustration, tried to turn into an octopus in the hopes of somehow having the goo slide off his skin. Of course, all it really did was topple Starfire and Cyborg like a set of dominoes.
Their resulting fall and crash ended up only twisting their already entangled limbs not only with each other, but with the goo. And when everyone stopped moving and there was time to speak, Robin groaned.
"That's gonna hurt tomorrow..." he mused aloud.
Raven tried to pull away from Robin only to find that her front was now successfully stuck to his chest. Giving up, she let herself fall back on top of him. Robin "oomphed" but couldn't help the grin at just the thought of the picture they must present. Luckily, they hadn't tripped into one another until after they had made it into the Tower and hence no one was around to witness the sad lack of grace of the cities finest superheroes.
So, Robin laughed and let his arms rest around Raven's waist as she gave up fighting and let her head rest on his sticky chest.
It wasn't the best way to get a hug from her, he had to admit that, but where Raven was concerned, a hug was a hug.
"Come to think about it," Robin whispered, "Forget the goo...if the others weren't around, I could probably get used to this..."
Raven raised her head and raised a brow, "You are one sick bird."
He shrugged, (and Cyborg's arm hit his head in response). "No, just lots of pent-up sexual frustration."
She blinked a few times at him but before she could say another word, Starfire's sudden laughter caught everyone by surprise.
"It appears we are," Starfire said from somewhere near Raven's feet, "attached like strong adhesive."
When he figured out what she must have intended to say, he laughed all the harder. Which started a chain reaction that spread from Beast Boy to Cyborg and finally, if the slight shaking of her shoulders was any indication, to Raven as well.
"Yes, Starfire...I'd say we're stuck like glue alright," Robin spoke finally.
When the laughter had worn off and there was a moment or two of silence, Raven spoke:
"Well," Raven mused, "You always did want us to be closer, Star, didn't you?"
It took everyone a moment to realize that Raven was actually making a joke. But when they did, the laughter erupted once again, full force.
