Mun's been rewatching Teen Titans lately.

[ex_birdarang414]

So you're really serious about this. Look, I know you're feeling nostalgic, but we didn't exactly leave off on the best terms. It's been... years since you even looked at my fandom. I just wanna make sure you're sure.

--I know, I know. You've been mulling over this for weeks, but we're a team and I always look out for my teammates.

We got each others' backs, right? Where to?

Comments

[feel_nevermore]

From personal experience, Mundanes don't make good teammates.

...Hi, Robin.

[ex_birdarang414]

Not all of them, but I've been with this one a while. I can trust her not to do anything... too crazy.

It's good to see you, Raven.

[feel_nevermore]

If you've been with this one for a while, you're aware Mundanes don't have the same definition of 'too crazy' as we do, right?

[But her expression softens a bit at that.] And you. It's been several months since you left that game we were both in.

[ex_birdarang414]

Maybe not, but it doesn't get much crazier than being turned into animals, body-swapped, and put into a television... among other things. I can take whatever she dishes out. [He is very confident about this--

--and then he frowns when she mentions that.] And the others?

[feel_nevermore]

[A small smirk.] You're lucky it goes against my policy to bet against my team leader.

Star, Terra, Bumblebee and Speedy were there too. But they all vanished eventually. The only ones left are me and Jericho. [A pause.] And Red X.

[ex_birdarang414]

That's too bad. I wouldn't mind a little friendly competition.

[He nods slowly, though that last one catches his attention pretty quick.] Has he been giving you guys a hard time?

[feel_nevermore]

Tch. You already have video games for that.

[She looks away.] No. Not at all. [And after a moment, she turns back to look him in the eye. Because Raven's always been honest, especially with Robin. Even when she has to tell him things he won't be happy to hear.] We've actually gotten closer, X and I. [Still she's trying not to be too blunt. For now.]

[ex_birdarang414]

I don't like to restrict myself.

[This revelation gets a long stare. He doesn't detect any of her dry humor and he doesn't think she'd joke about that to begin with.] Closer? Like friends?

[feel_nevermore]

[No, she wouldn't joke about that.] Well yes, it started like that.

[In for a penny, in for a pound.] Now we're dating.

[And she bites her lip. Ready for pretty much anything.]

[umadrobin]

Oh, do you?

[ A scoff. ]

Guess who's been watching out for what's left of your team after you skipped out on us, kid?

[ex_birdarang414]

[You. Have some intense glaring, Red X.]

I'd never abandon the Titans. Not intentionally. You can't really expect me to believe you're looking out for them. You're a criminal and a thief.

[umadrobin]

Now, now. Remember that little talk we had about 'taking life too seriously?'

[ He gets up from his leaning against a nearby wall, and shrugs. ]

We're all criminals there, kid. Comes with the territory of the government being the bad guys.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Just going to ignore that remark and get right to the point, thank you.]

So you're helping them out because it's convenient for you.

[umadrobin]

Only partially true, this time.

[ Red X smirks, behind the mask. He doesn't wanna give this one away. ]

Not my place to tell you the other half of the story, though.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Robin isn't going to let up. His eyes narrow, suspicious.]

I have a right to know what you want with my team.

[umadrobin]

Kid, if I were you, I'd be more worried about what one of them wants with me.

[ Oh, he's gonna love this reaction. ]

[ex_birdarang414]

[Oh, just wait. The conversation with Raven is going to clue him in pretty quick here shortly.]

You mean aside from thrown in jail?

[umadrobin]

Even if that was it, there's no jail there to throw me in.

[ He shakes his head. ]

But no, not even close.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Robin can start putting two-and-two together and he doesn't like the picture it's painting.]

You trying to tell me you're friends with one of the Titans?

[umadrobin]

Come on, Robin. It's like I said. I'm not such a bad guy once you get to know me.

[ex_birdarang414]

Tch. I'll believe it when I see it.

[umadrobin]

Would it help if I'm stealing from bad guys, and Raven's helping me do it?

[terminates]

You should quit while you're ahead.

[ ...not quite the Slade you know, but hey, he's a jerk too? ]

[ex_birdarang414]

[That's enough for him! He notes the differences, but it doesn't decrease any hostility he has. In fact, he's been working on his best "you're going down" glare while he's been sitting around in his mun's headspace and Slade is the lucky (?) recipient of it.]

Slade. Should've known you'd be here. I have no intention of giving up.

[terminates]

[ Like he expects anything else from you kids. He looks entirely unimpressed. ]

Really.

[ The most deadpan tone of voice ever. ]

And why's that?

[ex_birdarang414]

There are too many creeps out there like you for me to quit.

[This is said with finger pointing and everything. Just in case you weren't clear that you're a creep.]

[bloodcurdling_cheesecake]

Off to a better start than me and my mun were...then again, I understand yer little screen name thing. I still don't get mine.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Aaand looking up to see the name for himself.]

Uh... Yeah, that's a pretty interesting name for sure. [He doesn't get it either.] More like a restart, but it just takes time to get used to 'em.

I'm... sorry... you know Starfire.

[thenameofscreen]

[Rob... Rob, how do you feel about sudden hugs? Are you okay with having one now? Because I think you're going to get one now.] Robin! It is glorious to see you again!

Haha, never be sorry. Especially with a username like that.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Oof! He staggers a little, but it's Robin, so he's quick to catch his balance and return the hug.] Starfire! Yeah, you too. I hope this place has been treating you alright.

Aww ♥ then, I guess the opposite is true and I REGRET NOTHING. :D

[thenameofscreen]

[The hug is tight, and a liiiiiittle bit drawn out, but eventually she does let go, smiling bright.]

It has treated me most kindly! We are able to see one another as well as the others here, how can one be anything but thankful? [Okay well. :| THERE IS BAD STUFF TOO BUT. She's been kept away from that, really. For... the most part. SO IT'S NBD.] Has it and your mundane also treated you well?

Excelleeeent. :D

[ex_birdarang414]

[Robin laughs, his smile ever present; he's especially thankful that Starfire hasn't been subjected to any psycho mun whims. As far as he can tell, anyway.] I'm glad to hear that, Star. [He'd have to start kicking some behinds if it was anything less.]

Well-- considering I was just brought out of retirement and I've already gotten to see you and Raven, I'd say it's pretty good so far. I've missed you guys.

♥ :)

[thenameofscreen]

It is wonderful that your mundane has chosen to... remove you from the bench? You have been greatly missed as well.

[Yeah, she can relate to that, her smile isn't going anywhere either. It softens for a second, but then it brightens again after she remembers something.]

Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra have appeared here as well, though I have not seen Terra or Raven since you and I were in the game with them. I am sure it will not be long before you see them here as well.

[She could honestly keep going, there's so much to tell him about! But asldfkas slow down, Star.]

[badluckbabe]

All your teammates bird boy?

[ex_birdarang414]

Yeah. All of 'em. That's what Titans do.

[badluckbabe]

Bet it'll feel weird trusting me to "get your back" instead of stabbing you in it.

[ex_birdarang414]

We've been fighting you a long time, Jinx, but people can change and you've proved yourself to us.

[badluckbabe]

Nice to get a little acknowledgment.

But I have to admit I'm constantly tempted to take a swing at Beastboy.

Have a Harry Potter who was raised as Dick Grayson.

[dickandharry]

...what is with your hair?

[ex_birdarang414]

Got a problem?

[hippie_shifter]

"I think the 'Titans Together' thing crosses universes. If it doesn't, it ought to!"

[ex_birdarang414]

[He laughs.] Yeah, I agree. You a Titan in another universe?

[hippie_shifter]

She grins. "Yup! My name's Aurora, or 'Fauna' when I'm on duty. I'm on dc_nation, and unique to that universe, it seems. Always did wonder who did the Tower's cooking in the other universes."

[ex_birdarang414]

It's good to meet you. [He extends a hand.] I'm Robin. [The cooking remark gets a grin.] We all have our specialties. I try to make my own food, though.

[hippie_shifter]

She gladly shakes on it. He might be a younger version of Mr. Grayson, or maybe Tim under the mask. It's hard to tell when hopping universes, and it's none of her business anyway.

"Probably better off. Letting the speedsters in the kitchen means everything's inhaled in an hour. I'm definitely not the best fighter, but I do a lot of the little things that keep the place running smoothly."

[howdoienglish]

....Robin?

[school_of_mod]

Robbie you old devil, I knew you'd show up eventually. Been awfully boring around 'ere without you snots running about in your rainbow-colored knickers, fighting crime and all that malarkey.

[fastaskenyans]

Of course, when you finally show up, I'm late to the party.

Thanks, mun.
