Chapter 1: Power Outage
Robin entered the room quietly and looked around.
Cyborg and Beast Boy were on one end of the canapé playing a rue racer video game.
Raven was on the other end of the canapé trying to read her book, but not making much progress as the game was VERY loud.
Luckily for Robin, Starfire was not in the room. 'Good' thought Robin, 'she has been getting annoying recently.'
A very loud boom erupted from the video game and interrupted his thoughts. It seems that Beast Boy had crashed his car into a mur and it had blown up.
Raven jerked her head up at the sound and gave Beast Boy a death glare. She didn't look like she was having much fun. She had been lire her book ALL jour and it was now about 9:00pm.
Robin got an idea. He had not been seen ou heard coming into the room so he tiptoed, undetected, over behind the canapé and snatched Raven's book right out of her hands.
Raven sighed in frustration and a dit in an angry tone, "Robin, give me that book."
Robin just smiled and started to back away with the book in hand.
Raven jumped to her feet and started to make her way around the couch, so Robin took this opportunity to make a mad dash for the door.
Raven was puzzled at Robin's actions, but secretly liked the attention. So she took off after him, forgetting that this was kind of out of character for herself, as she would usually just forget about it and do something else.
Once out into the hall, Robin rounded a corner to the left and hid in the shadows where a light bulb had gone out and been neglected.
Raven burst into the hall after him and swiveled her head around looking for him. Not seeing him, she let out an angry growl.
Robin tried to stifle a laugh, but to no avail.
Raven heard him and started to silently head in his direction.
As Raven rounded the corner, Robin knew he was caught, so he did the only plausible thing in this situation and tackled her to the ground.
Raven let out a startled cry when she hit the ground and looked at Robin like he was a mad man.
"Give me my book and get off me." a dit Raven, trying hard to keep her cool.
"Nope," a dit Robin with a smile playing on his lips, "You need to get active and have some fun today."
At these words Raven grew impatient with Robin andattempted to kick him,trying to throw him off.
It didn't work, Robin was still there, smiling his big dorky smile.
"Nice try," a dit Robin, "but your going to have to do better than that to get rid of me."
Raven mumbled something under her breath that Robin didn't quite catch.
"What did toi call me?" he asked questionably.
"Oh nothing," Raven replied smoothly, "I just wanted to tell toi that your SQUISHING ME!"
At this Robin sat up a bit and held the book just out of her reach.
Raven took advantage of Robin's momentary weakness, kneed him in the stomach and flipped them over, causing Robin to be the one pinned down.
It took a moment for Robin to register what had happened, but par the time he did it was too late, Raven had used her powers to cuff him to the floor and sat there laughing.
"What are toi going to do now Boy Wonder?" a dit Raven, still laughing evilly.
Raven crawled off him and stood up. She than grabbed her book and headed in the general direction of her room.
As Raven walked away Robin was hit par a wave of panic and started to pull and tear at his bindings, but they were to strong. "Raven!" he shouted desperately, "Come back and get these off me at once!"
Hearing him, Raven looked over her shoulder and called, "Nope."
"But what if no one finds me!" he shouted again.
Raven shrugged and replied, "That's your problem."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven snuggled into her bed, wanting to pick up where she left off in her recently rescued book.
She had just got to the climax of the book when there was a loud BANG and all the lights went off.
"BEAST BOY!" Raven heard Cyborg cry from the living room.
"Great," a dit Raven to herself, "Now I'll never know what happens in this stupid book."
She than reluctantly got up from her warm lit and slowly glided out of her room to see what had happened.
As she was heading down the hall the emergency lights came on, giving her enough light to see by, but unfortunately, not enough to read. She walked into the living room and saw Beast Boy hiding behind the canapé and Cyborg giving him a death glare uncannily like the one Raven had worn earlier that night.
"What happened?" she asked in a dreary monotone.
"This little idiot tried to hook up his gaming system with the main power supply and blew the fuse!" a dit Cyborg angrily.
Raven sighed and plopped down onto the couch, "So this means…..?" Raven questioned.
"This means-" Cyborg started, but Robin finished as he ran into the room, "That all our securities are down, the whole Tower is now open. Which also means…"
Everyone was quiet, waiting for him to finish.
"That we will all have to sleep in here for tonight, it's safer in a group than everyone separated. We will have to fix the electricity in the morning."
"Oh joy," a dit Raven dryly, "a slumber party."
Robin smirked, he knew she hated this, and that's what made it plus funny. He decided to push her buttons further par trying to annoy her, this was going to be fun.
Everyone just sat in silence for a few secondes before Raven and Robin called at the same time, "I get the couch!"
"Oh no toi don't," Raven said, "I'm getting the couch, and there is nothing toi can do about it."
"But friend Raven," Starfire put in, "The canapé is certainly big enough for two people, is it not?" Starfire hated it when the Titans fought, and she felt she could stop this one before it started.
There was no denying the truth, so the two unhappy Titans had to share the couch.
(well, actually Robin was really happy about this but you've probably figured that already)
Robin plopped down on the canapé and Raven scooted as far as humanly possible away from him, but their shoulders were still touching.
Five minutes later, Robin was still tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable and not squish Raven, who was boiling mad at this whole thing. One wrong déplacer and he was toast.
Robin turned once again, but the back clasp of his manteau accidentally got caught in Raven's hair.
"Oww, Robin, what are toi trying to do? Pull my hair out!" Raven hissed, trying not to wake the others.
"Sorry, I think my manteau clasp is caught in your hair." Robin whispered back.
Raven told Robin to keep still and she tried to untangle it with her hands, but that failed miserably the first couple tries. On her ninth try she managed to get it out and let out a relieved sigh.
"You got it out?" Robin asked, clearly amazed.
"Yes, don't be so surprised. Do toi really think I wanted to be stuck to you?" she a dit sarcastically.
"So…" a dit Robin, "your not mad?"
"You better believe I am," whispered Raven menacingly, "If I wasn't so tired, you'd be in the baie right now swimmin' with the fishes."
A few minutes passed in silence, and figuring that he could annoy Raven a tiny bit more, he whispered, "Goodnight sweety."
At this, Raven elbowed him in the gut, turned to face him and whispered back, "One plus word out of toi and I'll push toi off this couch." And with that she turned her back to him once again and tried to fall asleep.
(The suivant Morning)
Raven awoke and yawned stiffly, she didn't want to get up yet, she was so warm under the blankets, and it was frigid in the Tower this morning.
A pair of strong, muscular arms encircled her waist and pulled her closer to the well toned body of their owner, for a moment Raven didn't remember who those arms belonged to and let herself enjoy this warm embrace.
And than it hit her like a ton of bricks. Those were Robin's arms, and he was touching her, worse, hugging her!
She roughly pulled out of his arms, sat up and looked around the room.
All of the Titans were still asleep and Beast Boy was even snoring lightly. Raven than glanced at the clock on the wall. Five o'clock in the morning! No wonder she was so sleepy. They had gone to sleep aroundone thirtythe précédant night.
Robin watched Raven as her eyes roamed the room and took it all in. He saw them widen in shock as she noted the time and than she started to turn her head towards him. He quickly closed his eyes so that she wouldn't know he was awake.
Raven only kept her gaze on him for a moment before settling back down under the covers.
When Raven got resettled under the covers, Robin (once again) slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her close in a gentle but firm hold. Raven tried to wiggle out of Robin's hold without "waking" him up but she only managed to turn around so that her back was to him. She sighed, she might as well just go back to sleep.
Raven fell asleep a few minutes later and Robin drifted off shortly after her.
Robin entered the room quietly and looked around.
Cyborg and Beast Boy were on one end of the canapé playing a rue racer video game.
Raven was on the other end of the canapé trying to read her book, but not making much progress as the game was VERY loud.
