The Red Titan

Chapter 7 Remain Stable.

Arde sat in boredom on the couch next to the Boy Wonder. They had gotten dressed much faster than the others and were waiting on them. Robin sat and fiddled with his tie for a few moments before turning towards his comrade.

“So, Arde, about you and Raven…” the leader of the Titans began before being interrupted.

“Why does everyone keep saying that? Raven is my friend.” Arde spoke sharply.

“Yes well, don’t let your friendship get in the way of the team. I’m just worried is all.” Robin said staring intently at the empath.

“Don’t be.” Arde said drops of acid infused in his words.

The red haired teen rose from his seat and began to head for the door, he had almost reached it when it swished open. Starfire smiled at her friend as he stood in awe. The Tameranean girl stood before him in a stunning red dress. It was rather form-fitting and strapless. The red of her hair matched the tint of it almost perfectly, the dress itself seemed to make her skin glow.

“Hello friends! Friend Raven should be coming in a few moments…I believe she needed to give herself the talk of the pep before she left her room..” she said with a small frown of confusion.

Starfire made her way over to the couch and sat next to Robin. Arde looked back at the two with raised eyebrow. He resolved not to interrupt their conversation and remained standing next to the door. BeastBoy and Cyborg were the next to arrive.

“Dude don’t touch the hair!” the green teen yelled to his friend as he covered his head.

“Why!? It’s not like I can mess that up! Rob’s gonna be outta hair gel for a week!” he laughed as he looked at the changelings shining hair. It was smoothed back and looked like it would be that way for awhile.

“What did you say?” Robin turned to face the two with narrowed eyes.

“Um..nothing! He was just kidding, w-weren’t ya Cy?” the changeling turned to his cybernetic friend.

“Um..Yeah!” Cyborg replied looking back at the fuming Boy Wonder.

Robin glared at the two behind his mask. He was contemplating how he would destroy them when the last Titan walked through the door.

Raven emerged into the room in a black dress. It was incredibly short and strapless like Starfire’s. It fit the violet haired girl like a second skin.

“Awww look at Rae, isn’t she cute!” BeastBoy exclaimed before shifting into a small green kitten.

Raven turned and shot him an angered glare before walking over to the other empath.

“Let’s go.” She uttered the words before grabbing his arm and dragging him from the room.  Robin shrugged before taking Starfire’s hand and following them.
