Chapter 67

My hands threaded through Starfire’s hair before brushing it. Her hands brushed my legs in enjoyment as she sat on my lap. She was wearing a bathrobe after having needed to wash up.

For rather obvious reasons.

Due to having just showered, Starfire’s hair was not at its normal flawless state. Requiring me to fix that. Well, normally Starfire would do it herself but I volunteered to do it for her.

It simply felt…correct.

It was even soothing in a way. The smell of Starfire’s shampoo and her own clean natural scent wasn’t disagreeable at all. Though, I will say I prefer the smell of mint to strawberries. Then again, if I smelled mint all the time, eventually I would grow tired of it.

So perhaps it was good to have it change now and then.

A knock at the door interrupted me. Leading me to answer.

“Go away.”

“Enter!”

Starfire and I spoke at the same time, though with obviously very different intentions. Causing me to roll my eyes before turning back to the new intruder.

Beast Boy opened the door and walked into my room. He looked around the room in surprise, especially towards the back. He was probably surprised that I had turned one room into two. I stared at him with Starfire as we waited for him to speak.

“Oh, hey Star! Did you get here before me?”

Starfire smiled at his words whereas I just went back to brushing her hair. Beast Boy watched me for a few seconds before finding the process boring and went back to Starfire. I couldn’t blame him. I’d have found Starfire much easier on the eyes than me.

“No, Beast Boy. I live here now. With Law.”

Beast Boy blinked and looked between the two of us quickly before a look of realization hit his eyes. Huh. Weird. It wasn’t like me or Starfire really went out of our ways to hide our relationship. Hell, we were a bit loud about it sometimes.

Then again, Beast Boy wasn’t always the most observant person when something else has his attention.

“Wow…you guys are like…roommates? That’s pretty cool. You must be pretty good friends to want to do that.”

I was starting to doubt Beast Boy’s intelligence at this point. If this had been Kid Flash, I’d have assumed he was just rejecting the truth because it was easier for him that way. But Beast Boy?

…He wasn’t that young, was he? I mean, I knew he was the youngest but he wasn’t like…well actually, his voice was still pretty high pitched. Hmm…

Regardless, I gave him a look before returning back to my task. Starfire on the other hand just seemed to laugh at Beast Boy’s words.

“Yes, Beast Boy. We are the best of friends.”

In a manner of speaking…

“That’s cool. You think maybe Cyborg would want to room with me later or-“

“Did you have a reason for coming here, Beast Boy?”

I asked, trying to get the hyperactive kid from losing the initial reason he came in here. To which he actually paused and started to think with a furrowed brow. Oh god, please tell me hasn’t already forgotten.

It took several minutes for Beast Boy to speak up again. Several minutes I could have spent with Starfire. Alone. In my room.

Beast Boy was very lucky that I liked him. Otherwise I’d have thrown him out of the tower at this point.

“Oh right! Can I go with the new Titans and you to the pizzeria tomorrow? Pretty please?”

Beast Boy begged with her hands together before turning into a green kitten and meowing softly. I rolled my eyes whereas Starfire cooed at him.

“No.”

Beast Boy immediately shifted back to his normal human form and got on his knees. Putting his hands up in a begging motion as he shook them up and down. God damn it.

“Please! I promise I won’t ever go to the Lab again. I’ll, I’ll make sure to do my chores! I’ll be extra focused on my patrols!”

…He was already expected to do ALL of those things…

And yet, it seemed like he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Well then. There was only one thing for me to do here.

“If I say I’ll think about it, will you fuck off?”

“Yes! Absolutely!”

I didn’t like how he seemed to be taking that answer as a yes. His lips curling upwards in excitement as if he had gotten what he wanted. Ugh…I really just wanted him out of my hair right now…

“Then I’ll think about it.”

“Woohoo! You won’t regret this, Law. I promise!”

I already was.

*~o~*

I left with the third generation of Titans in the afternoon to head towards the pizzeria. Treating them due to their success on the first ever mission. Something that had them both happy and annoyed. Happy at being acknowledged, and annoyed at be treated like a kid.

Eh. I couldn’t make everyone happy.

Though I also couldn’t help but notice how quiet and tired the girls seemed. Slight bags under their eyes as they seemed to half heartedly glare at everything.

It was only after I’ve driven to the pizzeria and sat down at one of the tables that I decided to finally question them about it.

“So…what’s up with you guys?”

Zatanna, Ravager, Artemis all gave me varying levels of annoyed looks while Miss Martian put up a fake smile and shook her hands.

*~o~*

Zatanna PoV

(earlier that night)

My room looked great! Though maybe it was a bit uh…too kiddish? I mean, it was fine for girls to have stuffed animals, right? What was wrong with a few of them?

…Okay, so there were a lot, but they were cute! And I’ve had them for so long. It felt wrong to just…get rid of them. They meant something.

The other Titans wouldn’t think I’m lame for having stuffed animals…right?

…Maybe I should put some of them up. I was a bonified hero now. Even completing my first mission in style! It didn’t matter that Ravager thought it was lame or that Artemis didn’t consider it much of a challenge. It was my first REAL mission.

Not just following dad wherever he goes or sneaking around. I was an actual hero.

So why couldn’t he understand that?

…Oh man, he was so going to kill me once he’s able to get out of the house. What was I even thinking!?

I knew the answer to that. I wasn’t. There had just been…so much anger building inside me that I just…lashed out. I just wanted this so badly. Was that so hard for him to understand?

It wasn’t like I was a little girl anymore. He couldn’t control my life forever…

Right?

“…Right, Mr. Snookles?”

Picking up my favorite brown teddy bear, I cuddled with him in order to feel better. He always helped out when I was feeling too anxious. Which had started to become very often when dad was involved.

Heck, I wasn’t even close to being that stressed when facing down bad guys! None of them were as scary as him.

…Living at the tower is nice but…it probably won’t last.

“Will it, Mr. Snookles?”

A distance voice answered me, causing me to look up from my bed. What had been that sound? The more I focused, the more it sounded like it was coming…below me?

That’s weird, I thought that the Titans said the walls were mostly sound proof? Especially between floors. So what was…

“Ah! Ah! Right there…”

…L-law’s room was right below mine, wasn’t it? And he was together with Starfire. That meant…o-oh my…

They were…going at it, right? Wow. In the tower? Where everyone else stayed and slept? That was…unthinkable! It was vulgar and…naughty.

…Why were they so loud? Was it…really that good, or did they just not care?

I was interested.

Uh…from a purely objective standpoint, of course! I wasn’t some sort of weirdo who was going to look up stuff like this. That would be too weird.

B-but I mean, if they were being that loud…it wasn’t that weird to listen to it, right?

…right?

*~o~*

Ravager PoV

(earlier that night)

My room with the Titans actually wasn’t that bad. Sure, living across from numbnuts over there wasn’t the best, but he wasn’t usually a thorn in my side. He was much too busy messing with bow chick.

Honestly out of all the other new members she was the one who I got along with the best. She normally knew how it was, and didn’t do any of that fake bullshit. It helped that she could actually throw a punch without relying on powers, unlike the other two.

I was still the stronger one of us two though. Something our spars highlighted pretty well.

Speaking of spars…Law.

What was he planning?

A little kiddy celebration for baby’s first mission? It was damn near insulting. Not like I was actually angry about it, but damn. At the very least he understood exactly where my skills sat, and acknowledged it.

Of course, he did. You’d have to be fucking stupid and limp dicked to not understand how great I was. Anyonewould be happy to have me on their team. I wasn’t dispensable. Able to be thrown away like some goddamn piece of trash.

I had value.

I did.

Obviously.

…For a while, I had been thinking of just staying until Law gave me enough information to act but…maybe I’d stick around a bit. I mean, they were pretty weak. They probably be defenseless without me.

It was kind of pathetic really.

So maybe I’d just throw them a bone and let them chew on it for a bit. I could be nice. Occassionally. Not like I was a heartless fucking machine that was capable of shooting my very loving child.

…

“Oh. Oh. Oh!”

…Really? Was Law fucking serious right now?

Read the room, you phenomenal douchebag! God damn it, I can’t believe I was even thinking about staying in the same place longer than I had to. Not when that fucker was here.

“Kori…I’m cumming!”

YOU MOTHERFUCK-NO ONE ASKED!

Why the hell did this have to happen above my room!? If I had known this was going to happen, I’d have fucking slummed it with metal man, green child, and the dorky Martian down a floor!

Christ, now I had the fucking image of his dick in my head. If I wanted to see a small dick, I’d just go next door or better yet, I’d ask my fucking dad. God fucking damn it.

Fuck this, maybe if I bang on the ceiling, they’d fucking stop?

*~o~*

Artemis

(earlier that night)

One of the best things to do after a good workout, was a nice shower. I was pretty grateful that the showers were only connected to the second and third floors. Just the thought of Kid Flash looking at my ass while I was washing up was…nauseating.

Washing up…I wonder how mom was doing? She had a helper to get her out of her wheelchair in order to wash up but even still. I was nervous. I could only hope that the money I sent back to her could help.

Honestly, despite everything she said about school, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t find a more lucrative job by going to college. Not one that I’d actually give a shit about, at least.

Kicking the shit out of bad guys and saving people was…fulfilling. Like I was actually making a change in the world.

The whole ‘taking us out to a pizzeria to celebrate’ thing was a bit childish but it’s not like I could really complain. Besides, a part of me was looking forward to it. Not like I was ever taken out to celebrate a job well done.

Unless I count serving beers to dad and his friends-sorry, associates. Ugh, those days sucked.

But now I was serving those same criminals a prison sentence. So things were a lot better now. Not to mention the-

“-ahaha, in the shower?”

“Why not? We’re already a bit dirty…”

…No fucking way.

Looking over in the showers proved my current theory. Starfire and Law were in there having sex. Holy shit. They were definitely a lot braver than I gave them credit for.

Though personally I’d rather not slip on someone’s cum or where a girl squirted.

…Oh god, just thinking about accidently touching Kid Flash’s-UGH!

Thankfully I could focus away from those thoughts by focusing. Focusing on the fact that my team leader was giving Starfire the business in a stall with his ass towards me. They must have a lot of faith in not getting caught if they weren’t even facing the fucking door.

Still, I weren’t going to complain about the view.

Starfire was whatever, but Law’s back covered in water? I could think of worse things to admire. It was a lot broader than under his clothes…

Tch. Starfire was lucky. If I had been here earlier…No, you know what? Starfire had challenged me, didn’t she? So, what’s really stopping me from taking her boyfriend out from under her?

…Shit, that sounds like something Jade would do. And I wasn’t anything like my sister. No matter what anyone said.

So, I looked away from the bathroom before heading back to my room. Stewing in my own thoughts.

*~o~*

Miss Martian

(earlier that night)

My face felt hot like it was almost burning as I breathed hard. Human thoughts were a lot more-uh- intense than martians. N-no, even taking that into account,  that-mm-the uh, uh, Tama…Tamarantos? Whatever Starfire was…

T-they were so INTENSE-

“Eeeek!”

I squeaked out before my body started to twitch involuntarily. Liquid jetted out of my human privates. Causing me to stop and pant for a bit.

Law always seemed pretty cool when it came to me reading minds. But some of the others got really weird about it, so I just…stopped trying to talk to them telepathically.

But I didn’t stop reading their minds.

I was curious as to what they were thinking about and…and…

Oh nuts! They were going again!?

…My privates started to ache in response. A-alright, I can do one more, but this was the last time!

It was hard to resist when both Law and Starfire’s thoughts were so…so warm. It was so hot and loving and alien. No one on mars showed that much passion in…anything really. We just didn’t have the constant-hah-feeling to-ooh-to procreate-SO PASSIONATELY.

My human body was now slick with sweat and…other fluids. I wanted to be as human like as I could, so I copied how most of their bodies worked. But maybe…that wasn’t the smartest move. Because now it was like there was some sort of heat inside me.

A heat that burned a lot when I read Starfire’s or Law’s mind during…uh…you know.

Ugh…I really needed to take a shower…

They were still going!?

…W-well…maybe just one more…

*~o~*

(back at the pizzeria)

Law PoV

After looking at each of their expressions, I was left with more questions than answers. At least there was one person I could count on for always being easy to read.

“Fuck you. Where’s my goddamn pizza?”

Ravager asked, leaning back in her chair. I rolled my eyes in response. The waiter hadn’t even come by the table yet. Though thankfully he didn’t need to. I ordered in advance.

We had pretty good seats to.

An outdoor second floor balcony. The view wasn’t crazy, but it was nice. Definitely. It gave us a view of outside, which included the main street that ran through Jump City.

My eyes flickered to a nearby rooftop. There was nothing there but…I could have sworn I had seen some movement. Hmm.

Actually, come to think of it, the main street was right out there. So why wasn’t there much in the way of cars? That was strange. Jump city was a pretty bustling place.

Ah, there we go. A bus was starting to come through.

My eyes eventually followed the movement of a baby stroller that was slowly rolling onto the main street. Right in front of the incoming bus, where no one seemed to be walking…

…This was a trap, wasn’t it?
