Two hours later after vigorous dancing on Adam and Starfires part and failed attempts to pick up girls on Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborgs part the five Titans decided to head back to the Titans Tower. (I could see Cy and BB not getting any chicks but Robin, he'd probably pick 'em up like a swifer duster. I purposely did that for LATER story. *cough*Terra*cough*) They hopped in the T car and drove back to Titans Tower, using the button activated draw bridge to get to the island housing the tower. After parking the T car in the vehicle dock/garage that housed Robins R Cycle, the T Sub, and the Titans battle vehicles. (check those toys for referance) After drowsily climbing the grueling flight of stairs they were finally in the main section of the tower. Dancing, saving the day, and trying to find love really took a lot out of all of them. Cyborg yawned and stretched his metal arms "four o'clock, time for bed" Beast Boy said "yeah dude, I am so beat" Robin said "ok Titans let get some shut eye, a tired super hero is better off a dead one" they all nodded in tired responce. Adam said "hmm, wonder if Da n00b and Raven made it back?" Starfire said "I may have seen them flying across the sky earlier, if so they were heading in the direction of Titans Tower." Adam said "I'm gonna take a look and see if he's in his room, you guys wanna come with?" The Titans thought "sure, why the hell not" and they all walked through the winding halls to Da n00blars quarters. As they walked Starfire said "do you suppose friends-Da n00blar and Raven have finally admitted their love and deepest feelings for each other?" Adam said surprisingly "you knew about them?" Robin said "of course we did, we all knew they liked each other from the day you and Da n00blar came to Titans Tower." Beast Boy grinned "yeah, they're about as obvoius as you and St..." Adam heard Beast Boy start and ran back to silence the green loud mouth. As Beast Boy mumbled the last words into Adams hand, Adam whispered "say anything else and I'll break your FRICKEN' neck!" Beast Boy sweat dropped and nervously nodded in responce, not wanting to have his neck snapped. As Adam let go of Beast Boy and went back to walking Robin and Cyborg snickered at the embarrassed looking Adam, they knew for sure that he was in love with Starfire, they were about as obvious as triscuts and bean dip.
Starfire voluntereed to check on Raven while the boys reached Da n00blars room which was the farthest from the living area, and the last room in the hallway. Adam walked in front of the group and knocked on the metal door labeled Da n00blar, the knock echoed throughout the tower. Adam said "hey Da n00b, you in there?" Silence was all they heard. "Maybe him and Raven are still out" said Beast Boy. Adam shook his head "no way, Da n00b all ways goes to bed at least at two a.m." he knocked on the door again "dude are you asleep? Hello, ya in there?" As Adam knocked thrice, tapped twice, slapped the door with his open hand twice, than knocked thrice again, Robin said "maybes he's out cold" Adam said "no way, no matter how asleep he is he allways responds to the TTD secret knock." Starfire flew back alongside the group of boys and said "I could not find Raven, she is not in her room." This was a perplexing situation, Robin scratched his chin and applied the Sherlock Homes act "Ravens not in her room, and Da n00blar should be in his own room sleeping, there's three possibilities. 1)They could both still be out, 2)they could've gotten captured in a battle, 3)they could..." Cyborg grinned and said "3)they could've fucked" Beast Boy laughed and high fived Cyborg "hell yeah dude" they both started laughing hysterically. Robin, Adam, and Starfire looked at the laughing Beast Boy and Cyborg than looked at themselves, the three non laughing teens all had the look that saidwhat the fuck was that, that was SO not funny." Adam said "shut the fuck up, your no Dave Chapelle Cyborg. Hell your not even a comedian period. My buds allways been somewhat of a pervert but I seriously doubt Raven would get into that kind of thing." Robin said "the chances of anyone getting close enough to actually have sex with Raven is a billion to one" Starfire said "yes, in all my time of interaction with Raven I have become accustomed to her personallity and if I know her the way I do she would find displeasure in such an act."
"Only one way to find out" said Robin pulling out a weird shaped key from a compartment in his utility belt." He inserted the key part into a hole on the control panel next to Ravens door, but before he could turn it Adam said "why do that when we can go in manually" the wrestling wonder punched the metal door with his bare fists, leaving huge indents of his fist in the metal coating. After the fifth punch the door was forced open, Adam grinned and said "nothin' to it." Robin sweat dropped and said "I coulda just used this skeleton key to open up the door without having to enter the code." Adam shrugged "whatever." By this time Beast Boy and Cyborgs laughs died down completely and they were all able to go in without disturbing Da n00blar and possibly Raven. Cyborg said to Adam "yo I'll bet the rest of your boot cleaning bet that Da n00b and Raven are sleepin' together." Adam said "your on metal dude, I'm tellin ya its a trillion to one chance of either one of them agreeing to..." Every single awake titan in the tower stopped dead in their tracks and gasped at the site they saw in Da n00blars quarters. No one could believe what they saw, a slumbering Raven, with a creepy, content smile spread across her face was snuggled up close to a sleeping Da n00blar who smiled and was snoring ever so silently with his arm draped over Ravens shoulder, making it look as if he was making sure her warm and loving body was as close as it could get to him. What made the site even more surprising and weird was the fact that all their clothes; Da n00blars pants, tank top, boots, and cape were in a messy bundle on the floor with Ravens shoes, leotard, and hooded cape. What also made this moment extra strang was that both of their glistening bodies were soaked in sweat and a white liquid that looked like hardened hunny. A stunned Robin, Adam, and Starfire knew it would be polite and good for both Da n00blar and Raven to just stay quiet and leave the room but Beast Boy and Cyborgs ungodly ignorance ruined the whole fucking thing by saying "HOLY HELL." They were so loud that dogs even in the neighboring Skip City began to bark. Da n00blar and Raven immediately shot up from their sleeping positions in a state of shock, it took a minute for their vision to clear and realize their team mates were in the room with them. Raven gasped and lunged forward, seizing Da n00blars bedding and trying to cover her naked and wet body. Da n00blar helped to wrap her body in an article of bedding and he said "we can explain this."
Later in the living room of Titans Tower a semi clothed Da n00blar and Raven were explaining everything they did after they left the dance club. Raven who was still clasping the bed sheet wrapped around her for dear life said "and than we came back to the Tower and than" she turned to look at Da n00blar who was only wearing his boxers and tank top. He finished her sentence, knowing what she wanted to say "and some personal things later, we decided to have sex togethter. Sorry if it was way too inappropriate for the Teen Titans image. The two sourcers lowered their heads in shame, their act of sexual intercourse was very dirty and innapropriate but it felt, great. Posibly the best thing either psychic had done in their whole lives. (see "When Two Sourcers Meet") Robin said "it's all right you guys. Another part of being a Teen Titan is the ability to be as free with your sexuality as you want." Da n00blar and Raven breathed a sigh of relief. Starfire said cheerfully "I am so happy that you both found love and that you have taken your relationship to quite possibly the greatest height." Adam winked and gave a thumbs up to Da n00blar "way to go dude, your the first of both of us to get laid. Cyborg said "now I don't have to polish Adams boots anymore, life is good." Beast boy crossed his arms and said "what the hell does Da n00blar got that I haven't?" Raven smirked and walked over to Da n00blars side and wrapped her left arm around the front of his neck, she said "because he's better than you Beast Boy. Da n00blar has a sence of style, he's strong, he's powerfull he enjoys the same things I do, and he knows how to pleasure a woman." Raven smiled seductively and kissed her much taller, red headed lover on the cheek. Beast Boy said "what?! I am so much cooler than crow boy here I'm...I'm going to bed" Beast Boy angrilly trudged out of the living room and down the dark hallway to his own room." Cyborg yawned "I'm going to bed to" Robin said "so am I, tell Da n00blar and Raven I said good night, ok guys?" Adam and Starfire nodded as they were the only two left with Da n00blar and Raven who were kissing wildly at this point. Adam and Starfire waited and watched as the two sourcers were facing each other and kissing, they wondered when they'd be able to be like Da n00blar and Raven and kiss each other like that. They soon finished their little make out section and Da n00blar said jokingly "ready for bed honey?" raven uncharacteristically laughed at his crude joke and said "sure dear, just let me get some herbal tea and I'll join you." They broke off, Raven headed into the kitchen to make tea while Da n00blar headed back to his room. Adam called out to his friend "hey wait up" and chased after him, leaving Starfire to follow Raven into the kitchen.
Floating behind Raven, starfire watched as she grabbed a box of tea bags from a cupboard and switched on her water heater. The strangest thing to Starfire was while raven prepared her tea she quietly hummed a joyfull, happy tune. Starfire couldn't understand what was making her act so different, normally she never ever acted in this fashion. Starfire finally spoke "umm Raven?" The small, dark haired girl said in an incredibly weird and happy tone "yeah Starfire what is it?" Starfire was unable to remember what she was going to ask so she said "nevermind" and sat at the table, it still had the same crack mark from when Adam slammed his guitar on the table. As Raven dropped the tea bag inside the water when it was done heating up Starfire said "Raven you are acting so very different than normal, may I ask if having 'sex' with Da n00blar has rejuvenated your views on life?" Raven smiled and nodded "he sort of has. Da n00blar has given me a new insight, he's reassured me that I am not the only one with a horrible and difficult past, and there are people in this world who love and care about me. He has done so much for me, I love him, and tonight has by far been one of the greatest nights of my life. Starfire said, happy for her best friend "I am glad Raven" but she felt strangely empty inside, knowing she wanted to do exactly the same with Adam, Raven noticed. The bird themed female said as she sat with Starfire and took a sip of the blackish-brown liquid from the mug "are you thinking about Adam?" Starfire shook her head in embarrassment "oh no, no, of course not" even though it was a lie, the wrestling wonder was totally occupying every spot of her simple mind and how close they came to kissing. Raven said "you don't have to play dumb with me Starfire, I know how you feel about him, and may I add that I've seen all the events that've transpired between you two during Da n00blar and my absence. Your dance together, how you mentally confessed your love, how you felt when you were about to kiss, I know it all Starfire." Finally Starfire couldn't hold back anymore, Raven totally found out everything that went down between her and the boy of her dreams. She caved in, embarrassingly she said "yes, you are correct Raven. I am in love with Adam, but I am uncertain whether he loves me back." Raven knew that he did, even though she didn't like Adam very much she knew that he loved her just as much as she did. But instead Raven said "maybe he does, I'm not sure. Keep your eye on him and you'll know if he's the right person for you or not" Starfire said "do you really think so Raven?" The small dark girl nodded "yes, if Adams as cool as you think he is, you'll notice if he's the guy for you." Starfire squealed "yay oh thank you friend-Raven" she lunged forward and tried to hug her, but Raven halted her and brandished her steaming hot tea "hot tea" she said, making Starfire back off.
As the girls had a little more girl talk, in the kitchen Adam and Da n00blar were talking in the hallway. Adam asked eagerly "dude how was it" Da n00blar smiled and laughed "he he he, fuckin' awesome dude" "all right" they clasped hands and did a secret hand shake. Adam laughed and said "I'm happy for ya man, I just hope I can...get that way with Starfire." Things suddenly went silent "well, what about tonight" asked Da n00blar. Adam said "well after you and Raven left I did some solos, got alone with Starfire on the roof, we slow danced to a song, and dude I know now I actually love her" Da n00blar said "finally, you've been denying it for monthes. Than what happened?" Adam blushed and said "when the song ended we stood together for a little while than all of a sudden I was about to kiss her" "did ya" "no another song kicked up before we did anything" "damn that sucks" said Da n00blar. Adam said "yeah but I know that I love her more than anything now, I have to get to her or else I'll lose her forever, and I gotta do it quick" Da n00blar said "whoa dude, calm down. Don't let the heat go to your head, remember the sacred code of the Heart Break Kid?" Adam calmed down and said "yeah, I can't forget that. It's just she's driving my emotions crazy, this is the first time I've ever felt real love and it feels kinda weird." "Like what" asked Da n00blar. Adam said "I don't know, when I'm around her I feel really secure like she's someone I can talk to and have a good time with. But on the downside she makes me feel nervous and sometimes I think I say something really stupid and gay." Da n00blar smiled and said "than thats real love dude, you love starfire and thats all there is to it. Look if you want to get her just play it cool and do everything you told me, remember your the Heart Break Kid....Jr." Adam said "yeah, yeah I am. I'm the Show Stoppa Jr, the Sexy Boy 2, the High Flyin', Risk Takin', Light heavy Weight Champion Wrestling Won..." he stopped when he could see Starfire and Raven. They all talked for a few minutes, Adam kept quiet most of the time as he blushed uncontrollably. Da n00blar and Raven decided to go back to sleep together so they bid Adam and Starfire good night and walked hand in hand back to Da n00blars room. Adam said as his blush showed no signs of dieing down "mind if I walk you to your room, it's a liitle ways near mine" Starfire smiled and blushed back "no I do not mind, in fact it would be an honor." They walked side by side, talking about the night and various other things until they got to Starfires room. As she stood half way in the door Starfire said "I enjoyed our time together as well as our dances, you are very talented Adam but I suppose that is why they call you the Wrestling Wonder." Adam laughed and said "thanks, your pretty cool to Starfire, maybe we can hang out agian together sometime" "I would enjoy that" she than stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his back, pulling Adam into a tight and friendly hug. When she dissapeared into her room and shut the door Adam knew what he had to do now he had to do whatever it takes to protect Starfire, and to find out if she loved him the same way he loved her. By any means he was going to follow his goals, even if it meant his life. And that was his devotion.
Starfire voluntereed to check on Raven while the boys reached Da n00blars room which was the farthest from the living area, and the last room in the hallway. Adam walked in front of the group and knocked on the metal door labeled Da n00blar, the knock echoed throughout the tower. Adam said "hey Da n00b, you in there?" Silence was all they heard.
