Fan Fiction ❯ Secret Love ❯ The decision ( Chapter 5 )

Mitch woke up for the 4th time, at least now it was because of the alarm clock and not the sounds coming from Robin's room, which were now over. It was 7am and it was a bright, clear morning, he got out of bed wearing just his grey boxer shorts and went over to his bedroom window to survey the city. He knew he was being watched by someone somewhere in the bustling city. Suddenly the door glided open with a `whoosh' sound and Robin was at the entrance in his red boxer shorts.

“Hey” said Robin politely

“What's up?” said Mitch coolly

“Just came to check on you, sleep alright?” asked the masked boy

“Like a hibernating bear in a sound proof room” replied Mitch friendly

“Alright,” said Robin with a small laugh “want breakfast? Starfire's still asleep”

“I bet she is tired from last night” said Mitch walking past Robin giving him a wink

“Yeah I do my best” said Robin with humour following Mitch

 

Downstairs they got to the kitchen area where Robin walked towards the cupboards.

“wait a sec,” said Mitch running in front of Robin and turning him around to face a table “I'll cook, it's the least I can do to”

“Err, sure ok. I'll have an English breakfast”

“2 English breakfasts coming rite up” Mitch said

Robin pretended to read a paper but he was actually watching the boy work in the kitchen. Mitch seemed to know where all the pots, pans, cutlery and any other equipment was in the kitchen which made Robin ask

“So Mitch tells me more about your powers” he said still with the newspaper covering his already hidden face.

Mitch nearly dropped the mugs he was getting out to pour them coffee.

“Well, errrm you've probably noticed I can control metal and also I can sense it nearby” he said

“Oh,” said Robin “so how did you get the power? Mutant accident? Mad scientist did it? Born with it?”

“Oh!” exclaimed Mitch dropping 2 pairs of knifes and forks on the floor “I, I, I was born with them. Yeah, my, err, father had it too”

“it's ok you find that happens a lot,” Robin said still with his head hidden in the newspaper “listen me and Star were gonna have a training session I thought you might want to join us”

“Sure I'd like that” Mitch said confidently, turning sausages and bacon over on the grill.

“And later were gonna visit our friends, you know Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. It seems that they can get out earlier than a month, probably within a few days since Raven regained her strength and boosted the healing process”

Suddenly there was a smash on the floor and Robin looked up seeing Mitch staring at him with 2 plates in pieces on the tiled floor.

“What? There coming out in a few days!” asked Mitch, highly distressed

“Yeah, maybe tomorrow” said Robin calmly

“Tomorrow!” exclaimed Mitch. Suddenly realising he must be acting strange to Robin “that's great!” he added smiling

“Right” said Robin as Mitch placed a lovely looking breakfast in front of him then went to clean up the shattered plates.

“This looks superb” Robin said highly impressed.

And it was, it seemed that this Mitch character was a good chef, someone the titans didn't have, and needed.

Later when Starfire had woken up the 3 teens travelled down to the grounds where the training course was. After starfire had had her turn, Mitch stepped up doing quite well and proving he had control over his powers, unlike their last visitor to the Tower.

At 12:00 the teens arrived at the Gotham hospital outside their team member's private room.

“Friend Mitch we will introduce you to them when we enter” said Star kindly

“Yeah. Now Cyborg and Beast Boy will be alright. Raven might be a bit..... difficult with you” said Robin

“Actually I think I'll be ok with Raven” said Mitch

Robin was about to question when Starfire opened the door screaming “hello my friends of hurt!” in a cheerful voice which was replied with the sound of Cyborg and BB's loud “Hey Starfire!” and Raven's “hi” In her `oh super Starfires here' tone. Robin walked in.

The room was a pale blue colour on the wall, white tiles on the floor, there were a few potted plants dotted around and there was an `on' TV facing three beds. The bed nearest to the door was Cyborg's, the middle bed was Beast boy's the furthest away was Raven's. They were all lying in their beds dressed (well not cyborg because he doesn't wear clothes anyway) in their normal clothes, Raven who was in a chair by he bed reading a book. Cyborg and BB had obviously been playing on the gamesation that Robin had brought up yesterday as the controllers were on their beds.

As Robin entered he said hi and they replied. Beast boy began a story about how a nurse had given him chicken in his meal which he was appalled by when Robin said

“Before you start we'd like you to meet someone” he went over to the door as Raven put her book down

“This,” Robin said as he dragged a quite confident Mitch in “is Mitch”

“Hi!” Mitch said casually

“Hey Mitch!” said Beast Boy as Mitch walked over to shake his hand

“Wassup Mitch” said Cyborg shaking Mitch's hand

“Hi” said Raven arrogantly, picking up her book and putting it to her face

“Hey” said Mitch. He looked at the book's cover “ah the book of Azar, I've read it twice it's one of my personal favourites along of the book of Mormare, Devinark and Lirealh”

Raven placed her book down on her knees “you've read the book of Lirealh?”

“Yes” he said coolly

“Oh… that's errr...” she began to blush so she covered her face with her book again.

“So anyway,” said Cyborg apparently confused about the last conversation “who are you?”

“Well it all happened last night…” Robin trailed off explaining Mitch's story. Raven pretended to read but was listening carefully.

“Well,” BB said when Robin finished “that's cool, so your staying with us now right cause we could really use someone to clean my room and-“

“Yes we were actually gonna ask,” Robin interrupted

“Mitch would you consider joining the Titans?”

The whole room watched Mitch; even raven who peered over her book
