Anything, Anytime, Anywhere, For You

 

Chapter Thirty-Two

“Bad Things Happen In The Kitchen”

 

A/N: One thing several people asked about last chapter was where Robin was when everything was going on. Robin, Cyborg and Batgirl were taking Slade to prison when Sadira attacked. I mentioned that last chapter, or at least I thought I did. If I did not, I apologize; for I meant too. This chapter shall be dedicated to Caitlyn and Paula, with mucho warm and fuzzies. O'course I still love you two, stop being silly.

 

---- ---- ---- ---- ----

 

Clang.

 

The metallic doors clicked into place with a heavy thud as the bolts interlocked. Arkham Asylum is home to the most dangerous criminals in Gotham City. Due to the recent riot at the prison, much of the facility was in need of repairs and remodeling. However, the maximum security wing was still fully operation. It was a single, dimly lit hallway. The walls were made of harsh black stone. The cells were small and enclosed, consisting of only cots, toilets and small shelves for the prisoners to keep their things on. Thick bullet-proof plastic separated the prisoner's cells from the hallway. It was inside one of these cells that Slade Wilson now resided.

 

“I want answers.”

 

Robin stood outside the plastic barrier, facing his arch enemy at last. Slade's uniform had been replaced with the standard orange jump suit, and his mask was gone leaving only the unshaven face of the true Slade Wilson.

 

“Certainly. Provide a question first.” Slade replied.

 

“Shut up. You've been connected to everything that's happened to us Slade. Ever since this began, things keep leading back to you. It ends tonight. I want to know who else is involved in all of this.”

 

Cyborg and Batgirl stood behind Robin, each of them also facing the unmasked fiend but neither of them able to say a single word. They knew it was best to leave Robin to deal with Slade. Robin alone knew the best way to get through to the psychopathic mind of Slade.

 

“What, do you think this is all some big conspiracy? I'm afraid I haven't the faintest clue who else wants you dead; but it is delightful to hear I'm not the only one.”

 

“Stop playing games with me Slade!” Robin yelled, stepping closer to the plastic screen that separated the two. Slade didn't even blink; but he did smile.

 

“How long do you suppose your luck can hold for, Robin?” Slade asked in a quiet, cold voice. “How many times can you cheat death of its prize before it finally catches up with you? I have a feeling your luck is running out.”

 

“And I have a feeling I'm wasting my time.” Robin replied. “Enjoy prison life, Slade.”

 

“You enjoy life Robin; yours will be over very soon.” Slade shot back, then he turned around and walked over to his cot. He sat down and leaned his head back in a relaxed manner that made Robin shake with fury. The boy wonder didn't understand how Slade could take defeat so easily. The one-eyed villain had never accepted his fate easily before; the fact that he was now convinced Robin that Slade had a few tricks left up his sleeve.

 

“You must be the Teen Titans.”

 

Cyborg, Batgirl and Robin whipped around in the hallway. They were supposed to be the only ones in this sector of the prison; but they were not. Magus stood to their left, leaning against the wall while his cape fell over his shoulders. The demon smirked a spiteful smile as he crossed his arms across his chest.

 

“Yeah we are; and who're you?” Cyborg asked.

 

“My name is Magus; I believe you knew my father, Trigon.” Magus replied casually. “I'm just here to watch the festivities. Azarock wanted to be the one to crush your skulls, didn't you Azarock?”

 

From the right side of the hallway, behind the Titans, a low growling voice spoke. “Indeed I did brother.”

 

Robin looked to his right. Azarock had appeared from the shadows. The gigantic demon with the upper-body of a man and lower-body of a cockroach had crawled down the path of the high security area. Azarock lifted his gigantic red arms up to his side and flexed his impressive muscles.

 

“Ooooo-kay. Robin, you got any ideas?” Cyborg asked, sweating a bit. Azarock was huge; fighting him was going to be difficult. And Cyborg was smart enough to realize that Magus was probably every bit as strong as his oversized brother, if not stronger.

 

“Titans, Go!” Was Robin's only response. Cyborg ran down the hallway towards Azarock and threw a punch with his right arm. Azarock countered and grabbed the end of Cyborg's fist.

 

“Hah, pathetic human!” Azarock laughed.

 

“Kiss my metal ass!” Cyborg replied. His hand transformed into its arm-cannon form inside Azarock's fist and Cyborg let loose with a powerful blast of sonic energy. Azarock screamed out in pain as his arm received the full dose of the blast and snapped backwards. His arm shot behind his back at an angle and a loud cracking noise filled the air; alongside Azarock's inhuman screamed.

 

“Booyah!” Cyborg's trademark battle cry sounded.

 

Meanwhile Robin and Batgirl had taken to fighting Magus. Robin whipped a exploding disc at the villain, and Batgirl likewise threw one of her own explosives at him. Magus grabbed the edge of his scarlet cape and held it up in front of him like a shield. The explosives went off and created an enormous blast; but when the smoke cleared Magus hadn't received so much as a scratch.

“You'll have to do better than that.” Magus hissed.

 

“Then try this!” Robin balled his fist and aimed his new glove at Magus. The stone on top flashed white and then transformed into a large scarlet ruby. The next moment Robin's hand burst into flames and a string of fire erupted from his fist and flew towards Magus. Magus once again stood calmly and used his cape as a shield for the flames. The fire splattered on the cape and bounced off in every direction around Magus. The walls were engulfed and the plastic divides of the jail cells on either side of him were melted open - but once again he stood damage free.

 

“That's a dandy little toy you've got there, Robin.” Magus smirked. “No doubt a gift obtained from Raven's little bitch of a mother. But I'm afraid it takes more than a fancy glove to match a real demon's strength; observe!”

Magus lifted his hands above his head and began muttering something in a language Robin had never heard before. Black flames started to swirl around Magus's hands and Robin's eyes widened. Robin balled fist again, this time turning the ruby into a black garnet. His glove began to glow with black light and he held it up in front of him.

Magus yelled and threw a jet of fire towards the titans; Robin caught it in his gloved hand and absorbed the demonic flames into the glove before they could singe anything. Magus seemed surprisingly pleased by this development.

 

“HEY! I COULD USE SOME HELP OVER HERE!”

 

Robin and Batgirl twisted around on the spot. Cyborg was in trouble. Azarock's left arm was still snapped back behind him, apparently dislocated or perhaps broken. Whatever the ailment, he still had his right arm and he was holding Cyborg tightly in his grip with it. Cyborg was struggling to keep the demon from crushing him like a used soda can; but it looked like he was failing.

 

“Hang on!” Robin shouted. “Babs, distract this guy; I'll help Cyborg!”

 

“Whatever you say.” Barbara replied. She hurled several explosives at Magus; who flicked his hand through the air and caused the explosive balls to smash into one another and destroy themselves before they ever reached him.

 

Robin jumped onto Azarock's cockroach-like abdomen and aimed a kick at the part of his back that looked human. Robin's kick connected and there was a loud crack. Azarock yelled out in pain and dropped Cyborg from his grasps. He reached his hand around, trying to grab Robin; but as the hand approached him Robin transformed the gem on the glove into a ruby once again and tossed a fireball into Azarock's open fist. Azarock's hand enclosed over the fireball; which charred his skin painfully and caused the demon to howl out in discomfort.

 

“Damn you human!” Azarock cursed.

 

“Hey, all you demons talk a lot of crap about us humans; but we just keep on kicking your butts.” Cyborg grinned. He pressed his cannon arm up against Azarock's chest and fired. The close-range blast sent Cyborg flying backwards into a wall; which he wasn't too thrilled about. But it was worth it; since the blast also ruptured Azarock's thick-hided chest and sent the demon sprawling back as well. Azarock's singed hand went to the spot where he'd been shot; which was now oozing with thick, dark blood.

 

“Argh! I won't lose! NOT TO A HUMAN!” Azarock screamed. He stomped his feet on the ground and the entire earth began to shake. Azarock continued stomping his feet and pounding his charred hand against the wall. Robin gulped. The walls and floor were shaking, and if they didn't stop Azarock quickly he'd bring down Arkham Asylum around them.

 

Robin transformed the glove into the black garnet again. He balled his fist and watched the black light engulf his hand from the wrist down. He had to absorb Azarock into the glove like he'd done with Trigon if he wanted to stop the beast from bringing down the entire prison with his stomping around. The prison's foundation was already weak from the huge riot earlier.

 

Robin shot the black light from his glove and it wrapped around Azarock. Azarock grunted and screamed, but he couldn't fight it. There was a bright flash and suddenly the enormous half-man, half-cockroach demon was gone. Robin screamed out loud as his glove glowed with a dark scarlet light and Azarock's powers and his soul-self was added to the glove to join Slade's demon energy and Trigon's soul-self. Robin fell to his knees, his head pounding in pain. Arella had never mentioned how painful it was to contain so much evil inside his glove.

 

“You okay man?” Cyborg asked, rushing to Robin's side.

“I'm fine; go help Babs!” Robin replied quickly, rubbing his head with his left hand and keeping his right one at his side.

 

“What a spectacle! That was a true battle.” Magus grinned as Robin and Cyborg rushed to join Batgirl. “Unfortunately I cannot stay any longer Titans, but I'm sure our paths will cross again.”

“You're not going anywhere.” Robin growled.

“No, but you are.” Magus replied. “You see, as we speak Azarock's sister Sadira is at Wayne Manor taking care of your friends. We're connected mentally, as I'm sure you realize. She just informed me of her success in capturing Raven, Starfire and Terra. She wants to know whether she should kill them now or keep them alive for a while. What do you think she outta do?”

 

Robin's eyes narrowed. “You're bluffing.”

 

Magus snapped his fingers. The air in front of him swirled around and suddenly a portal, very similar to the kind Arella had summoned, appeared. Robin, Cyborg and Batgirl looked on in horror as they saw Starfire, Raven and Terra lying unconscious the kitchen at Wayne Manor. The portal disappeared a moment later and once again, they were face to face with a grinning Magus.

“'fraid I'm not bluffing, Titans. Would you look at the time?” Magus glanced to a digital clock that hug on the wall over the guard's booth. “It's thirty minutes to midnight. Sadira always had a flare for the dramatics; I'm sure she's waiting for the clock to strike twelve before she murders your friends. What with the trip back to Wayne Manor, even if you left right now you'd barley have enough time to get in the door before midnight. So what will it be, boy wonder? You can beat me with that glove of yours, I'm sure - but it will mean sacrificing that pretty redheaded friend of yours.”

 

“Trigon pulled this same kind of thing.” Robin grunted. “You'll end up just like he did.”

“You mean an all-powerful demonic ruler? I sure hope so.” Magus sarcastically replied.

 

“Rob man, forget him. We gotta move.” Cyborg sighed.

“We will be seeing each other again.” Robin promised. Then he turned around and ran towards the stairs that led out of Arkham Asylum's maximum security ward. Cyborg and Batgirl followed him silently but quickly. Once they had vanished, Slade stood up from his cot and walked over to the plastic divider so that he was facing Magus. Magus turned to observe the human.

 

“It's a genius plan.” Slade complimented. “You're much cleverer than Trigon was.”

“I appreciate the praise, Slade, but what would you know of my plans?” Magus questioned suspiciously.

 

“Please; we're both professionals here. Don't insult my intelligence.” Slade hissed. “You went easy on them. You allowed Batgirl to keep you busy while Robin absorbed Azarock into the glove. You played defense the entire battle. If you'd wanted too, you could have beaten Batgirl and saved your brother. However, you didn't. I can only think that you did that because you wanted Robin to absorb Azarock's energy. And from the way you sent them all after your sister, I'd say you want Robin to do the same to her.”

 

Magus's lips curved into a smile. “Very observant. As a matter of fact you're exactly right. I see now why my father chose to work with you. Just how clever are you, Slade?”

“Clever enough to guess there's only two possible reasons why you'd want Robin to become even stronger.” Slade replied.

“Oh really?” Magus inquired.

“Of course. Either you want to wait until Robin's glove has an enormous amount of demon energy and then you want to steal it from him; or you want him to absorb so much energy he loses control over it.”

 

Magus let out a loud laugh. “You are good. Yes, as a matter of fact it's the latter. Robin is only human. You saw what happened to him when he absorbed Azarock. If he absorbs Sadira as well, it will overload that glove. No human would be able to withstand that much evil.”

 

Slade had to know. This was Robin they were talking about; and Slade's long history with the boy compelled him to ask in a voice that sounded almost hungry. “What happens to the boy when the glove takes in too much evil?”

 

Magus grinned. “Why don't you come along and see for yourself? Normally I detest your race, but you Slade, are an exception.” Magus snapped his fingers and the plastic divider shattered like glass. “Come with me Slade; let's go watch the Teen Titans die, shall we?”

Slade nodded. “I can't pass up an invitation like that.”

 

----

 

Terra opened her eyes and blinked several times. Her stomach hurt horribly; as did her head. She was lying on her back on the cold tile floor of Bruce Wayne's kitchen. The last thing she remembered was seeing a bright flash from the flash bang grenade and then feeling a sharp kick connect with the side of her face. Terra slowly pulled herself up into a sitting position. She was about three feet away from the refrigerator in the kitchen, apparently unguarded. A few feet to her left she noticed Starfire lying on her side. Terra stood up and started to walk towards the redhead.

 

“Don't move!”

Terra spun around and saw Raven. The goth girl was sitting cross-legged in mid-air to Terra's left. “Terra, don't move an inch.”

“Why?” Terra asked, completely confused.

“Look down around you.” Raven ordered.

Terra looked down at the white kitchen tile beneath her. For the first time she noticed a circle of what appeared to be sand around her. It was a narrow circle, not that far in each direction. Her right foot was only inches away from the black sand. Terra took a closer look at Starfire and noticed a similar circle of black sand was around the redhead; and surely enough when she turned back to Raven she noticed sand around her as well.

“What's the story with the sand?” Terra asked, placing a hand on her hip.

 

“It's a demonic rune circle.” Raven said in a hallow voice. “If you try to exit the circle, you'll burst into flames.”

 

Terra's eyes widened a bit and she scooted closer to the center of the circle. Carefully she sat back down, being sure not to go anywhere near the black sand. After tucking a stand of her yellow hair behind her head, she looked back at Raven. “What's going on?”

 

“Sadira must have set up these rune circles after Alfred kicks our butts.” Raven replied in her monotone voice. “I'm not sure why she's keeping us alive; but you can bet it's not for our benefit.”

 

“Can't we escape?” Terra asked.

 

“No.” This time Starfire was the one to reply. Terra turned back to her left and found the redhead was now sitting up and facing her. “Raven and I have already tried all we could think of. There is no way to exit the circles.”

 

Terra smirked. “Then let's just break the circles. It's sand, right? I can control it and -”

“DON'T!” Raven screamed loudly, real fear filling her voice. Terra had already lifted one hand; but she quickly dropped it.

“Why not?” Terra asked.

“If the circles of sand are broken or disturbed by anyone other than the person who formed them; they explode.” Raven explained very quickly. “If you try to move the sand the blast would be strong enough to annihilate half of Gotham.”

 

“So . . . I guess we have to wait for Robin and the others to get back from Arkham Asylum to rescue us, eh?” Terra asked, hopefully. Robin, Cyborg and Batgirl had taken Slade to prison in Arkham Asylum several hours ago, and they should be back any time.

 

“Wrong again.” Raven replied. “Sadira can control men. Robin and Cyborg would become her slaves just like the others, and Batgirl would be outnumbered on all sides. We have to figure something out and get out of here ourselves.”

 

Terra sighed and hugged her knees up to her chest. “What can we do?”

 

“You can sit there and wait for the sweet surrender of death.”

 

The three girls all turned their heads in the direction of the kitchen door. Sadira had appeared with a sinister smile on her red-skinned face. The silver-haired demoness strutted into the room with a superior grin on her lips as her dark eyes scanned the three superheroes who were her prisoners.

 

“This has nothing to do with my friends.” Raven insisted. “Let them go.”

 

“Oh please.” Sadira laughed. “Has that line ever worked?”

 

“We may not be able to leave these circles; but our powers still can.” Starfire threatened, her hands taking on a familiar green glow. Sadira flipped her hair back with a smug smirk.

 

“True. You could still attack me if you wanted too; but I wouldn't advise it. Don't forget, I still control your friends every movement. You try to touch me and I'll make Beast Boy turn into a spider and thrown himself down Batman's throat. That'd be fun, wouldn't it?”

Starfire's hands turned back to normal and the redheaded princess collapsed to her knees, biting her lower lip the entire time. Raven stood up.

 

“Is this why you're keeping us alive? To torment us with threats?”

“Partially.” Sadira admitted. “Don't worry none, I'm killing you off at midnight. I love doing things dramatically, don't you know.” Sadira twisted her head around to look at the clock on the kitchen wall. “Seven minutes till midnight. Can you guess what happens at midnight Raven?”

 

“You get your ass kicked by the Teen Titans.”

 

Sadira spun around with her eyes wide. The three titan girls all looked up to the entrance of the kitchen. Robin, Cyborg and Batgirl had appeared.

 

“How did you - Magus said you were as good as dead!” Sadira spat.

“Well Magus is a liar, ain't he?” Cyborg grinned, aiming his arm cannon.

Sadira relaxed the tension in her shoulder and looked down at the ground. “Very well. We'll do things the hard way.”

The red-skinned demon woman looked back up and her silver hair shimmered in the dim lighting of the kitchen, reflecting from the moonlight filtering in through the window. Sadira opened her mouth and started to sing.

 

“Hello Teen Titans, how are you little boys,

Running around Gotham with your fancy toys,

Listen to my voice, heed the siren's song,

Surrender your free will at the song of dong,

Wait for the bell to strike ding-dong,

Wait for the bell and your sanity's gone,

You can't resist the call of this demoness,

Now murder your friends, I command this!”

 

Sadira stepped back with a satisfied smile as she finished the twisted song. It was only after she looked back up at the Titans that she noticed something wasn't quite right. None of their eyes were glowing black; and she couldn't understand why.

 

“Half-robot; mind-control doesn't work on me.” Cyborg grinned and explained; just as he had when Brother Blood tried a similar trick.

 

“And I was protected by the glove.” Robin smirked. The jewel on top of the glove was the black garnet. He had used the glove's powers to absorb the hypnotic energies of the song.

 

“And I'm a woman, but you probably guessed that from the way my suit fits me.” Batgirl laughed, extracting a bat-a-rang from her belt.

 

Sadira wasn't amused.

 

“It doesn't matter . . . slaughter them!” Sadira screamed. From behind the boys, Beast Boy, Batman, Alfred and Tim Drake all appeared. Their eyes were still solid black and all four of them, despite the injuries the girls had inflicted earlier, looked ready for a fight.

Robin snapped his fingers and the black garnet on top of his demon glove transformed into the white diamond of healing. “Titan's, Go!”

 

Robin did a back-flip over Cyborg and Batgirl, and over the ranks of their hypnotized friends. As Batman, Tim Drake and Beast Boy turned around to face Robin he shot them all with a blast of white energy from the glove. Each of them fought against the white light that was wrapping around their bodies; but to no avail. There was a flash and the three superheroes fell to their knees.

 

“Dude . . . what happened?” Beast Boy asked, rubbing his head.

“IMPOSSIBLE!” Sadira screamed.

“Naw, the only thing `impossible' around here is a few days peace and quiet. Seriously, I'm sick of all you demons and supervillians!” Cyborg said as he aimed his arm cannon at Sadira and fired a sonic blast. Sadira threw up her arms; but they did little to shield her from Cyborg's attack and she flew across the room slamming into the refrigerator.

 

“Robin, hit her now!” Batgirl called. She threw a disc at Sadira and it struck the demoness in the chest. There was a bright explosion of light and Sadira was incased in a thick sheet of ice from her neck down to her ankles; keeping her frozen against the side of the fridge.

 

“I'm on it!” Robin transformed the jewel back into the garnet and aimed his fist. He fired the black light onto Sadira and it wrapped around her like a snake. Sadira struggled and screamed, trying to escape from both her icy prison and the demonic aura. She was unsuccessful in both attempts. There was a bright flash and Sadira disappeared - her energies and soul-self sucked right into the glove like Azarock before her.

 

When Sadira vanished; two things happened. One, Robin screamed very loudly, clutched his head with both hands, and collapsed down to his knees. The second thing to happen was the disappearance of the rings of sand around the girls.

 

It was a good thing the sand vanished; because Starfire shot across the room like a bullet and flew to Robin's side with concern bubbling over in her bright green eyes.

 

“Robin! Are you hurt?” She leaned down close to him, reaching a comforting hand out and placing it on his shoulder.

 

Robin rose his head up and stopped screamed. He took Starfire's hand in his own. “I've never been better Star.” He squeezed her hand.

Starfire, and the rest of the heroes who had all been staring on at the couple in silent concern, let out a sigh of relief. Starfire kissed the top of Robin's messy hair-do; but she broke away a second later with a look of discomfort on her face.

“Robin, perhaps you could loosen your grip on my hand.” Starfire asked, clearly showing that he was squeezing too hard and that she was in pain.

“Perhaps you can shut the hell up.” Robin replied. Starfire blinked as if she hadn't heard him right; but a moment later Robin swung his arm with tremendous force - force much too powerful for any human to wield - and toss Starfire over his shoulder like she was a stuffed animal. Starfire smashed her head against the nearby kitchen counter and blood tricked down from her forehead.

The onlookers were divided. Half of them stood aghast and screamed out Robin's name in horror; the other half yelled for Starfire with worry filling their voices.

 

Robin stood up and turned around to face the others. The eyes beneath his mask were glowing bright red. . .

A/N: And the legend of the evil cliffhanger lives on! Mwahahahaha! This chapter is short, only because I had to end it where I did for the sake of the next chapter. Speaking of which, the next chapter is a must-read for any Robin/Starfire fan. I don't want to give away too much; but trust me, if you're a Rob/Star fan you're going to have a great time! Thanks for reading, review replies are below. GS, out!

 

scathac's warrior: ^^ I'm glad you liked them; and I'm also very grateful you reminded me of the jewelry box! Hahah, I had forgotten, but I shall be bringing that back into the story very, very soon. Hope you enjoyed this chapter; and I'm sure you'll enjoy the next one. I've got some plans up m'sleeve. Big thanks for reading, as always.

 

LadyHood: Yes, you are flattering, and I appreciate it. Heh. I'm happy you liked the Alfred twist; I thought that one would be funny. Although in reality Alfred was a British secret agent before he became a butler, and he probably could whoop some major butt if he had too. And that's the random batman fact of the day. XD Hope you liked this chapter; thank you for reading.

 

Goddessruling: Yeah, I know, I'm sorry about that. I updated my livejournal back when I had plans for BB and Rae to have a heated kissing session - but at the last minute I changed my mind and made them fight each other. XD. How nice of me, eh? Mmm… as I've said before, I will gladly give Cyborg a girl. I just can't decide between Bumblebee or Jinx; and I wouldn't know how to work them into the story. Actually, there is something coming up where I could possibly work Jinx into it, and set up a Cy/Jinx relationship . . . but only if that's what the readers want. We'll see. I'll make a note about it in chapter thirty three and I'll let you readers pick. Aww, thank you for your compliments, BTW. I'm happy to hear you like the story, and I'll have more for you soon. Thanks for reading m'friend.

 

Inuluvsu: `Ello again! I'm glad you enjoyed the new chapters, and now I'll try to answer all of your question. It's not that BB's easy to hypnotize; just remember, Sadira is a powerful demon. She can possess almost any male out there with her voice. Robin, Cyborg and Batgirl are taking Slade to jail; that's why they weren't in the previous chapters. I mentioned it, but only briefly so I can see how it would be easy to miss. Arella really is Raven's mom's name - it says so in the comics and Raven's mom was in the episode “The Prophesy” and when Raven first sees her she shouts “Arella wait!”. The person singing the death song is Sadira. Yeah, it does bug when with some books when there's questions I want answered and can't answer `em - that's why I'm always happy to answer any questions from anybody who reads my stuff. Well, I wish you luck on your project my friend, and I'll have another new chapter for you soon. ^^ Adios, and thanks for reading!

 

Dramaelfie: I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it; and don't worry, BB and Rae'll be alright . . . I think. XD. Thanks for reading.

 

Pickles12: I'm glad you liked it. ^^ As for your question… well, I could answer; but that would spoil the surprise. Heheheh. I'm evil, I know. Thanks for reading dude.

 

Death's Wicked Truth: XD. I'm glad you liked both the story and the poem. The next chapter is coming soon; and it'll be a real dozy. Trust me. Thank you for reading. ^^

 

IllegalDayNightSnappingIguana: Yes, I saw the new look. It's weird. I guess I like it, I don't know. Change always messes with me till I get used to it. DUDE! The C2's confused the heck out of me too when I first saw them. Meh, yes, last chapter was kind of short, wasn't it? Sorry about that love, I'll work on it for the future. Starfire/Yoda? . . . now that's creepy. Dude! A fanfic about the Titans's getting into messed up relationships with Star Wars characters? …. BLOODY GENIUS! Raven/Jar Jar? O.o That scares me down to my very soul. Beast Boy and a Wookie? XD! DUDE! That'd be sweet. …. Hey, I wonder if Beast Boy can transform into a Wookie? o.O Well it better end with the right couples! It'd be weird to have Raven stay with Jar Jar, and Starfire stay with Yoda. That would scare me dude. Starfire eats lipstick? I did not know that. ^^ Stalk away dear, it's always fun to hear from you. And say hello to the white coat people for me. Ta, ta Winter; thank you for reading love.

 

MIDNIGHT-PIXIE: I'm happy to hear you liked the last chapter M-P, and I hope you liked this one too. Prophesy DID rock! It was awesome dude! Oooh, you know Stranded is coming out on Saturday. Rob/Star fluffness! Yay! We must all celebrate that, right? You take Spanish? Cool dude. I can speak a little Spanish. El Gato Enchilada Senora. XD. I know, that was bad Spanish. Heheh. Haha, I'll have another evil cliffie for you later on. Trust me, I've got some big evil plans up my sleeve. Very evil. I'm talking heartbreak and death! Mwahahahahahahah! Okay, I'm stop being weird now. Ta ta Kara, thanks for reading.

 

Lambbaby: Hmm. My poem was weirder than yours, but I don't know about funnier. XD Yeah, Raven's got it rough in this story, doesn't she? You've just made me realize how mean I am to her. I mean, it seems like everything has been piling up on her for a while. Maybe I should be nice and give her a break . . . actually I think soon it will be someone else who gets a bunch of bad stuff thrown their way. And that someone is . . ., drum roll please . . . . Cyborg! That's right; Cyborg's role in the story will FINALLY be taking a bigger turn. Heh. But I don't want to give away too many details. As for Lex . . . well, he'll be back. Don't you worry none. Lex Luthor's the kind of pain that doesn't stop just `cause he lost once. Once again, your poem is kick-ass cool! Hmm, so I shall have to think of one.

Thirty-two chapters have been written,

One of the titans is about to get bitten,

When I say that, I mean by the love bug,

Cyborg's finally gonna get a woman to hug,

Too bad it's going to cause lots of bad stuff to happen,

They'll be punches thrown and capes flapping,

Cause the bad guys are going to hatch a new evil plan,

And Beast Boy's probably going to eat some flan,

Hahah, I just wanted an excuse to use “flan” in a sentence,

Umm… okay so I can't rhyme with sentence.
XD! Take care Lambbaby, thanks for reading. You win the poem contest.

 

Eventidespirit: Yeah, the review box is all weird now, isn't it? O.o I thought about giving the Titans some downtime, but I decided against it. I'm still working on the NEXT story arch (yes, there will be another after this I'm pretty sure) so they'll be getting some time off soon… maybe. I'm glad you liked the Bb/Rae; and I'll do my best to make the next chapter good too. Thanks for reading!

 

samanthe2121: Well Robin didn't attack `cause he wasn't at the Mansion m'friend. O'course he's a man. Well, I mean I think he is. Either that or he's one ugly chick. XDDD! Thanks for reading.

 

The Only Way Out: Yeah, I do don't I? HEhehhe. Heeeeeey! Are you the same “The Only Way Out” as the one on the R/S Shrine? If so, then howdy! If not, then howdy all the same! XD! Thanks for reading.

 

xBxMYxJaMeSxDeANxcandyclouds: Oh don't be silly. O'course I love the two of you; see I even dedicated this whole chapter to you two just to prove it. Don't be silly dolly. O.o I'm guessing you don't like the new layout of FFNet, do you? Heheh. I have a bad habit of pointing out the obvious, please forgive me. You're right, there hasn't been a lot of Star/Rob lately. >< Thanks for reminding me of that. T'was cause of you that I shall be remedying that error very soon with lots of Rob/Star fluff and stuff. Ooh. Earth Science. Ouch. That class sucks. I hated taking that. Dude, you're having a birthday soon? Well then I'll have to do something special for you. Just lemmie think of something, hokay-dokay? Write a sequel? Mmm. Yes, I might. I don't know. It depends on two things: One, how long this story goes until I end it, and Two, how many people want me to write one. We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess. Heheh. Paula's going to put me in her sequel? Oooh! How exciting! Now I must dance for joy. <(`o'<) <(`o')> ^(`o')> ^(`o')^ <(`o')^ (>'o')> Heheh. Kirby Dance! XD! Whoa Caitlyn, you don't suck at poetry. That was cool! ^^ Thank you for reading, mucho warm and fuzzies m'dear.
