A/N (08.30.14): This chapter has been changed, edited, and updated.
It's a SNOW DAY today so I decided to make it my first priority to update my story!
Anyway as I said before the Titans will now be moving into the newly built Tower on that beautiful island that Cyborg has finally finished building and we'll see how they settle in. Will there be fights on rooms or with paint? Who knows! The only way you will know is if you read and then be kind and review afterwards to tell me what you thought of this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans! There. I think I handled that quite responsibly.
Chapter 4: Moving
"It is ever so shiny... and tall," Starfire said in awe as she looked up at the tall structure before her. Everyone else did as well, Cyborg grinning beside them.
"I know, ain't she a beauty!" Cyborg exclaimed happily as he patted his hand on the hard material that was made up of the giant tower.
"Cyborg, this is incredible!" Robin added as he looked up at the tower with wide eyes. "How did you-"
"Made it out of my own circuit technology, so only I can open and access the codes and get into it. Of course I'll tell you guys all the codes as well," he explained.
Everyone was really impressed with Cyborg's handy work. This was the tallest building for miles. The tall gray and white tower was about ten stories high and at the top floor would be able to see the city for a ways out. The windows were huge and it was magnificent.
"Let's go in!" Beast Boy shouted excitedly as he ran up to Cyborg with a smile.
"Alright alright," Cyborg said with a chuckle as he typed in a code and the doors suddenly opened.
"Whoa," The four shocked teens said simultaneously. Everyone, even Raven, was very impressed at what they saw.
The first floor was a long main entrance hallway. The ceiling were very, very, very, very tall. It had black leather seats on each side lining it and the sides mirrored the other. There was a red carpet all the way down it and beneath that was hard wood flooring. There was an elevator at the end of it and everyone piled in. Cyborg pushed a button that said 'Main Room' and everyone waited.
"So what do you guys think of it so far?" Cyborg asked curiously.
"This is just so HUGE! And so awesome!" Beast Boy exclaimed, at a lose of more words to use.
"Well if you think thisis big, you haven't seen anything yet," Cyborg said with a grin.
Finally the doors opened and everyone gaped at what they saw before them.
This room was by far the biggest room in the whole Tower. To one side there was a kitchen area with an array of cabinets and counter top space and a new high tech stove, microwave above and a small fridge in the corner.
Then there was the bigger part that everyone seemed to draw their attention to. It had all hardwood flooring while the kitchen had tile and there was a giant u shaped sofa in front of a movie theater sized television screen. There was much opened space with many other things but the TV and sofa seemed to be the focal point of the room. Since this was the very top of the tower, the three giant windows that overlooked the city were there before them, and they all could see out them.
"Now what do you think?" Cyborg asked them.
"Amazing," Robin said.
"Spectacular," Starfire breathed.
"B-b-b-beautiful," Beast Boy managed.
"Big," Raven stated.
Cyborg chuckled once more.
"Alright then. Through that door we came from and to the next hallway are the bedrooms. I'll let y'all pick them out and then come back here for the paint I bought. We can worry about furniture shopping later," Cyborg informed them.
Starfire and Beast Boy were zipping to the staircase before anyone could say anything else, and Robin and Raven slowly followed.
"My rooms the one with all the equipment in it and tech stuff, don't touch it!" Cyborg called up the stairs that the four Titans had gone up.
"This one's mine!" Beast Boy shouted as Raven and Robin passed the first door to the first room they'd seen. "It's the closest one to the stairs and elevator besides Cyborg so that means I can get down to play my video games fastest!" Beast Boy exclaimed with a laugh. Raven rolled her eyes her and Robin walked past, peering into the room next across the hall that was Cyborg's.
They turned a corner into another hall that was smaller and saw that there was only one room. They peered into it and saw Starfire flying around happily and inspecting every single part of her new room. She smiled brightly when she saw them.
"Oh, hello there dear friends! Do you wish to join me?" she asked.
"We have to find our rooms still, Star," Raven told her and walked away, continuing on. Starfire nodded her head at Robin and he smiled back at Starfire before quickly following Raven down the hall.
As they continued by turning yet another corner and finding the last hall, Raven went to the first door on the left and peered in to inspect. It was fine, just like all the other rooms, but she honestly would rather be even further down the hall, even if that meant being only one more door down.
"You can take this one," Raven told him, "if you don't mind."
"Not at all. Are you sure?" Robin called out as she walked away suddenly.
"Yeah, I think I'd like it farther away from the others loud noise so they don't disturb me when I try to read and meditate."
Robin nodded in understanding before disappearing in the room. Raven sighed and walked to the next door on the right. It was close to the stairs for the roof which was a nice plus. She opened the door to her new room and walked in.
It was open and spacious, and it had one of the large windows that looked upon the vast ocean. Raven walked over to the window and looked out. It was a lovely view, and she liked it immediately. She looked around her then and noticed another door that must have been for the bathroom. She opened it and blankly stared at it in silent delight.
It was about half the size of her room, which was really big for a bathroom. The tile was sleek, as was the countertop and sink. When you turned there was a large tub against the wall and in a the corner a full sized, separate shower with glass doors. It reminded Raven of a sauna almost. Then of course there was a toilet in the back and a small closet to keep all of her toiletries and towels in.
She walked out and sighed. This whole place was more than she could ever ask for, compared to other places she had been to. She sighed once more with content and walked out of her room to see Robin outside her door waiting.
"Like your room?" he inquired. She smiled slightly.
"Yeah. Great view. Bathroom is a vanity I'll have to get used to… Cyborg really put a lot into this," she said.
"I know," Robin told her, "I wonder when-"
"PAINT!" Cyborg's voice boomed from the Main Room, interrupting Robin.
Raven shrugged her shoulders as the two exited her room. They saw Beast Boy and Starfire emerge from their rooms and run/fly to the elevator eagerly. Robin started for the stairs with Raven in tow. Soon enough, they all were crowded around the paint Cyborg had gotten for them and everyone grabbed at it besides Raven, who stood in the background waiting.
"Gimme the green!" Beast Boy nearly cried as he snatched that from the ground and ran up to the elevator.
"I would like the pink… and orange… and maybe the purple…" Starfire said as she grabbed them all in her arms and flew up the stairs with her findings.
"Great, red and yellow," Robin cheered as he followed up the stairs behind Starfire.
Raven breathed in a sigh of relief when everyone had cleared out. She walked up to the remaining paints on the floor.
"Perfect," She said as she used her magic to usher the paints she wanted to her. She picked up a dark blue and black and levitated to her room up the stairs, content. She didn't want to get the hardwood floor messed up already, so she covered it with her aura and set the paint cans on top of that. This was going to be something of an experience.
She popped the lid open and got the roller that was in a corner by the can. She dumped the paint into a tray and then dipped her roller in the dark blue coloring. This couldn't be that hard.
She did about a quarter of one wall before coming to her senses and letting go of the roller to let her power do all the work. It took her about twenty minutes to get all of the blue paint on the walls, and that was with a couple coats. Then she took the black and opened it and put it in a new tray. She got a new roller and decided to make the ceiling black to finish the look. She was pleased. When she was done she placed the half empty black paint can and the three fourths empty blue in the hall so she could take them back to Cyborg. She put her force that'd been protecting the wood down and landed on the floor with a soft thump of her boots. She looked around at the place, pleased, and then walked out, shutting the door behind her. She picked up the paint cans and started making her way down the hall. As she walked past Robin's door she couldn't resist a peek to see how he was doing.
He was still on one wall and painting it red. It looked like he had dismissed the yellow, deciding against it as it was next to her outside his door in the hall. She knocked on the doorframe as she slowly entered, still holding her cans. Robin looked up in surprise when saw her. He smiled.
"Hey, how's it going in your room?" he asked, noticing the paint cans she was holding.
"Done with it all," she told him.
He looked at her funny. "Sure you are. No one can paint that fast," he accused. She rolled her eyes.
"Will you ever remember the telekinetic powers at my disposal?"
"You have got to be kidding me," he stated. Robin dipped his brush in the tray again and started to laugh, "how could you possibly be done? So unfair," he finished as he pointed the brush at her. Paint flew off and landed on her cheek. She blinked and glared at him. He cringed and turned pale as she ran the tips of her fingers along the paint, smearing it more. Her glare hardened.
"I'm so sorry, Raven! That was a mistake! I mean an accident," he stammered. He didn't like the look on her face as he watched her set down her paint cans and noticed the small amount of black paint coming out, making small balls in her opened hands.
"Paint balls, huh?" he said in a small voice, trying to joke.
"Two can play your game, Boy Blunder," she said in a sickening sweet voice. Robin's eyes practically jutted out from beneath his mask when he saw her behavior. She started flingng the balls of paint in his direction and he got hit right on the neck and over his 'R' on the shirt. He looked up at her with an evil grin and took some of the black paint from his shirt and swiped it across his face like a football player.
"Fine, you want a fight, I'll give you one," he responded as he grabbed his paint and started to fling it at her, attempting to pick it up and throw it off his fingers. Raven threw up a shield and the paint splattered on it before she let it fall, picking up her own can and starting to fling it at him.
Robin dodged some and then made a dash for the bathroom door. He closed it and locked it in her face when she ran up to try and stop him. He heard her run into the door, a soft 'thud' being heard. He laughed.
Raven rubbed her nose, mad at herself for being so childish and clumsy suddenly. But he had started this and brought it upon himself, and she was determined to win this little war for whatever reason. She grabbed the blue paint can next to her and sank into the ground through her black aura. Robin was listening on the other side of the door. He couldn't hear anything, but knew she was just probably waiting for him to open the door so she could cover him in her room colors. He seriously didn't want to be black and blue. After what seemed like minutes of silence that was really only seconds, he sighed with relief and turned away from the door, only to become face to face with a smiling Raven. He gasped in surprise and hit the door, sliding to the ground. She continued to silently smirk and held the paint out in front of her, over his head.
He looked up at her with horrified shock.
"You wouldn't," he dared her.
She merely flipped the bucket over and blue paint covered him. All around him was blue paint and it was starting to surround him and near Raven's boots. She seemed content, setting the bucket aside as Robin's eyes narrowed. He grabbed her leg, pulling her out from underneath and making her fall into the paint as well with him.
She gave out a small gasp and sat straight up. She had blue paint on her backside. It was now Robin's turn to celebrate and he laughed out loud. She looked up at him, flustered. He was all blue as well. She looked down at herself. She cracked a grin again, slighty blushing. She had no idea why they had even started it in the first place.
"Ridiculous," Robin said to her as he calmed. She nodded her head in agreement. "Remind me never to mess with your or get on your bad side. Guess I'll have to clean up this bathroom already."
"I'm sorry… I'll help you, after I clean off myself." Raven told him as she began to get up, having difficulty in the paint mess. Robin stood up before her and steadied himself with the door handle. When he was stable, he helped Raven up.
"Thanks…" she said before levitating out his bathroom door and to her own bedroom to wash off. Robin watched her go with a smirk on his face. She was something else.
When Raven was done, dried off, had one of her new uniform on, and had finished helping Robin clean up any traces of paint around, the two sighed, tired.
"Lets see what the others are doing finally," Robin said. Raven nodded in agreement, following him. Robin's automatic door shut behind them as they walked down the hall. They looked into Starfire's room first as they approached and gapped.
Her walls were all pink. She had totally discarded the purple and orange and had an empty pink can in the corner. In the center of the room Starfire sat, knees to her chest and humming to herself. She turned around when she heard a light gasp and saw them.
"Friends! Does the room's color please you? What words come to mind?" she inquired.
"Pink," Raven said. Robin sweatdropped, smiling at her warmly.
"It's great, Star. Very you."
"Why thank you! Now that I am completed, may I join you both?"
"Course, we were just going to check on the others," Robin told her.
"Splendid, let us see how our comrades have progressed."
They trio continued down the hall and looked into Cyborg's room.
His room was already done and he was at his computer, typing along. They didn't want to interrupt him, but Starfire couldn't resist.
"Friend Cyborg, come partake in the hanging out with us!"
Cyborg glanced behind him, smiling at the redhead warmly. "Glad to see you guys done, guess we better find the grass stain."
Starfire giggled as they all went to Beast Boy's room.
His walls were all green and he was on the ground in the form of a dog, sleeping. Starfire flew in and scooped him up, everyone's eyes widening.
"Friend, awaken! It is time to bond," she insisted, watching as he opened his eyes in alertness but didn't move from his spot she held him at. He yawned again and shook his head, dog ears flopping from side-to-side. "Shall we eat the junk food first or view the television?"
At this Beast Boy's ears perked up and he sprang out of her arms, morphing back to a human. "Both at once, obviously!
"Sounds like a plan to me, I'm starved!" Cyborg said, stretching his arms out as the team walked down the hall.
"How 'bout we order a pizza!?"
"Fine," Robin agreed with a smile, "but we can't make this a regular thing."
End Chapter
So what did you all think? Was it good? I sure hope so. I took my time to do this on a snow day remember so like it please! Well for all the rest of the chapters I have a brilliant idea I think. So I'm going to tell you all right now!
I'm going to do all of the chapters as episodes since this is the life of the Titans, especially Robin and Raven's. So all of the episodes will be in this and maybe even the movie only they will be altered in some ways to make sure it's Raven and Robin not Robin and Star. I'm not going to make it where Raven's all lovey with him but I am going to make sure Starfire isn't. So what do you guys think of that idea I'd love to know!
