Chapter 4 Raven and Star woke side by side to the alarm. “Trouble!” Star gasped, sitting straight up, and bolted to her clothes. For a split-second Raven considered how she felt as she awoke next to her friend. She felt at peace about the whole thing. She felt satisfied and content. And a little lazy. But they didn’t have that luxury. Levitating her uniform over she quickly got dressed and followed Star to the common room. Cyborg was already there, pulling up the information on their screen. With Gar patiently waiting behind him. As soon as the girls appeared he turned to look at them. But when Star flew up to look over Cyborgs shoulder, his eyes stayed on Raven. The look on his face told Raven he knew what had happened. He gave her a quick wink before looking forward as the screen lit up. “Looks like just a couple new guys with some explosives. No problem, we just need to make sure things don’t get worse.” Cyborg said.
Turned out, it was not just a few simple guys. Their explosives weren’t stolen like was assumed. They had powers and were generating balls of energy out of nothing, and throwing them around to explode in the streets and bank. They were new though, that much was true, and certainly untrained. They had fallen for simple attacks, and had become desperate. Relentless strikes were being thrown at the titans, and they hid behind various walls or objects waiting for better times to attack. Gar appeared by Raven as a small explosion went off to the left where he had been. “At least the bombs are getting weaker. I think they must be tiring out.” He yelled. As the last bits of rubble fell, Raven glanced at Gar. He nodded, and she floated over the top of their hiding spot to quickly launch an ATM at the brother closest to her. It was blown to pieces before it hit him, and she ducked back down before the insides of the machine were lodged inside her. Thuds hit the wall they leaned on, and shots could be heard as Star took aim at the distracted brother. “Speaking of fireworks…” his eye brows raised several times as he leaned over. Raven rolled her eyes, “Oh my g…” but he was gone. Poking back over, she saw him take another hit at the man. Raven tried to distract the man with several other items, but he just fought them all off with one large radiating explosion. Raven quickly ducked back down, and leaned on the wall. Gar reappeared beside her, still smiling. “I’m just picking on ya, Rae. I’m happy for you.” He tried to peak around, but pulled back as the wall shook with another bomb. “Mhm,” Raven went to look as the dust cleared, but he snatched her back and pulled her close. Knowing what that had to mean, Raven quickly covered them in a force field. The wall was brought down this time, and the impact on her shield weakened her a tad. Gar easily scooped her up and moved to a new hiding spot. “No, for real. I just like people happy. And whatever that takes for you, I’m glad you found it.” He said sincerely, poking around the wall to see what was happening. But he quickly added, “And you always have such a pretty glow after sex.” With a wink, he was gone. Raven felt herself blush and her eyes widen in shock. But she quickly brushed it off as she heard Cyborg’s cry of victory. Raven took the chance to look, and saw Star duck as a few shots were sent her way. But, they were at least one guy down. Gar managed to surprise him and knock the wind out of him, but he was the stronger of the two, and blasted him back. Gar reappeared beside her as she watched Star and Cyborg start to lay everything they had on him. He was getting weaker by the minute. She was waiting for a good time but thought about what Gar said. “I don’t think I am what you think I am.” She said softly, preparing for her attack. He moved closer beside her, also preparing to get in on this assault. “I’m not a lesbian. At least I don’t think I am. Like I’m not in love. And I think I still like guys.” She pointed to the metal bars at the back of what remained of the bank. “As he gets closer, can you push him back into those? I’ll do the rest.” “Yeah,” Gar watched, primed for movement. But carried on the conversation as they watched the man get pushed back from several starbolts and sonic blasts. “There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, Rae.” And as he his hand gripped the wall to start his run, he looked back at her. “Means I still got a chance.” He smiled and gave his eye brows a few bounces before shifting and running through the rubble. Raven almost lost track of what she was doing. It was the good thing they were on the same side, because that smile could have been the death of her many times before. Forcing herself to focus for just a second she wrapped the man in the bars. And just like that all was over. Things began to wind down as usual, but not in Raven’s head. He had playfully hit on her before, but she had never taken it seriously. Today something registered to her, what if it wasn’t just an act. They were pretty opposite in a lot of ways. But she couldn’t deny he did have a certain appeal. And he had become quite the ladies’ man. He was smooth, charming, and very handsome. So, he easily picked up women left and right, without hiding it in the least. As she watched him casually stroll about, flirting with a paramedic, she pushed the thought from her mind. Then glancing back, she found herself appreciating the beauty of the slender woman in her work attire. The young woman’s eyes met Raven, forcing Raven into some silly excuse about needing to help the cleanup crew. Several hours later, Raven walked into a very quiet common room. Gar was the only one there, and he was just lazily flipping through muted channels. He looked up at her arrival and smiled. “Where is everyone?” She asked. “Cy had a date, and Dick came to town to surprise Star with something.” He shrugged, “I’m not sure what, but they’re out for the night. Just me and you.” He winked again and Raven felt herself blush. She wondered if all his admirers got this flustered at such a simple gesture. Part of her wanted him to stop his flirting, but more of her liked the attention. She had never had such an attractive person give her this type of attention before. Even if it was fake, she did feel her confidence bubble up just a bit. Trying to brush him off, she went looking for food. As soon as the fridge door had cracked, Gar turned around on the couch and called back. “Hey, if you haven’t eaten yet, would you want to go grab something with me? We could go by that strip on 7th? I mean, there isn’t many vegan options for me…sorry.” Raven took one last look over the fridge and stood up. “Yeah, sure.” Raven plucked at her pajama’s “I guess I should get my uniform back on then?” “No,” he cut her off, somehow he had managed to get right beside and she jumped. “Can we go undercover? Like.. not as,” he gestured at his body, “us.” Raven shrugged. “Whatever.” Dinner was nice and casual. Gar didn’t bring up sex or Star at all. They talked about new things happening in the city, any plans for the rest of the summer, and the food. Almost normal things, although it was partly due to the fact they were limited in their disguises. Either way, it was a nice break to act like ordinary people. Before they left, they ordered a few cups of “ice cream” and decided to walk the streets. Focusing on her food, Raven quietly spoke. “Thank you.” “For what?” he asked, digging his spoon in again. “Being so cool with… everything.” He shrugged. “I don’t see a point it judging people for what they do. As long as it doesn’t harm anyone, I think people should always do what makes them happy. Especially my lovely ladies, and especially if I get a little preview.” He laughed lightly and gave her a small nudge, but grew softer. “I’ve had enough bad things happen in my life. And I know what it feels like to… not be happy. I don’t think anyone should be shamed for doing what makes them feel good.” Taking another bite, he perked back up. “Besides, I would be the worst person to judge you.” “What do you mean?” Raven asked quietly, taking his momentarily reflection to heart. “I consider myself more of a bonobo at heart.” “The chimp thing, why?” “They have sex with anyone and everyone. They don’t fight, they just fuck away their differences. You want that piece of fruit, I want a blow job, we all leave happy. They’re just peaceful creatures that know how to be happy and find pleasure. So maybe we’re both bonobos?” He shrugged and looked at the shop they passed. Raven furrowed her brows, “I don’t have sex with everyone.” “They’re bisexual too.” He explained. “And, I’ve had sex with men. It’s no big deal.” he casually added. Raven stopped dead in her tracks and looked up at him. He stopped as well, and looked down at her with the spoon still hanging in his mouth. Like he had just made a boring comment on the weather. She watched him for a second, a little stunned. He was literally known as the stud of all the titans. But she hadn’t imagined he would be a stud in that way. He shrugged and started scraping the bottom of his cup. It would explain why he was so casual about her. But the more she thought about it, the more curious she got. She studied him a bit more. Then, opened her mouth to ask a question, but was too shy and thought better of it. Her words stopped with an awkward sound. “You wanna know if I’m top or bottom?” he asked, eye brow raised. Raven felt herself blush again. It was odd for her to talk so opening with anyone about sex like this. But she tried to put on a casual face. Mimicking him, she shrugged. It was almost difficult for her to picture such a masculine person as Gar with any type of man. “The thought had crossed my mind.” She tried to continue walking, but his answer stopped her. “Eh depends on the other guy mostly, I’ll do both.” A few days ago, she was struggling to accept what had happened and what that meant about her. But here he was, so openly discussing his private life. They both paused to watch a family slowly walk by, a silent agreement not to discuss such matters in front of children. “Do you think you would ever become monogamous?” Raven asked in a hushed voice, watching the wife in particular. “Sure,” he replied quietly, “I mean not now. But I image someday. It is understandably easier to just have one night stands with the life style and risk of our line of work.” Glancing at him, Raven caught him smile slightly as the dad playfully scooped up the smaller son. “At one point I had dreamt of that intimacy and sense of belonging that comes with a solid life partner. But then I discovered how much fun sex could be.” Raven rolled her eyes as he laughed slightly. “So, I don’t know. Maybe?” He didn’t sound convinced, but didn’t seem bothered by it. “You?” She shrugged, watching the mother wipe a child’s mouth as the family turned the corner. “I don’t know. I’m not really wife material, and I always thought work would come first. Maybe if I decide to hang up the cloak? But I doubt it.” “Eh, who wants to get tied down anyway. Especially when there are cute paramedics to rescue you.” He winked at her, trying to lighten the mood. Warming with a blush, Raven focused on her cup. “Mhm, did you get her number?” She pushed the conversation back to him, hoping it was smoother than it sounded in her head. “No, you had more of a chance than I did.” “What?” Raven found herself slightly gaping at him. “Why would she tell you that?” “She didn’t. I can pick up hormones pretty easy, and I certainly wasn’t the one triggering them.” Before she could say anything else, his eye brows raised and he started walking past her to cross the street. For a second she stayed behind, a small smile graced her lips. A small proud smile. A beautiful stranger had been attracted to her, Raven not Rachel. Half demon not human. Startled out of her momentary pride, she looked across the street to Gar entering a store. “Where are you going?” She asked, dumping her cup in the trash. “You could get a strap-on for your lady friend.” He said, pointing to the store they were almost at. “What? Gar..no” She whispered. He turned, but kept walking backwards into the door. “Come on, it’ll be fun.” He leaned into the door, swinging it in, and gave her a quick wink. The store was pretty well masked on the outside. But inside, she knew exactly what it was. It started off almost normal with sexy clothes, some lingerie, and shoes. But as she passed through them, she saw the displays of toys, whips, lubes, videos, books, and much much more. Gar was already deep in the store somewhere. But she couldn’t find the nerve to follow him. After a few minutes, she found herself almost face to face with a very large dildo at the front of an aisle. Gulping, Raven could feel her blush return. She wanted to leave, to allow herself to be embarrassed and run away, but her pride prevented it. Not allowing her eyes to linger too long on the plastic members, she looked for Gar. For a second she couldn’t find him. The only person in the area was a handsome blonde man reading over a box. Slightly groaning, she rolled her eyes. Gar’s lightly tanned skin and blonde hair had thrown her off already, after only being separated for a few minutes. But it reminded her than no one in this building would actually be able to tell who she was. Her black hair was much longer than she would keep it. And the ring distorted the shape of her face enough that people wouldn’t recognize her. Feeling a bit more daring, she started venturing into the vibrator section and picked one up. She twisted it around, examining it. It was a bit different than hers. It had a stone on the end, and running her finger over it she absent mindedly started looking at the others. Till suddenly, the little item in her hand started to hum to life. Her face flushed even redder and she tried to find the switch she somehow hit. A soft bump in the plastic seemed like a button, so she frantically pressed it. Only to cause the small device to change speeds. Her heart rate raced and she was certain everyone in the store was looking at her. A hand seemed to appear out of nowhere and closed over her frantic little fingers. Glancing up in horror, she found a lightly chuckling Gar. He clicked it off and placed it back on the shelf. Quickly she scanned the area around them, there wasn’t even anyone near them to have heard it. “Don’t have much experience with butt plugs?” Gar chuckled. Raven tried to find her monotoned voice, “No.” But it came out a bit squeaky and she cleared her throat as if that was the cause. “Eh,” he shrugged, “they’re not for everyone.” He comfortably kept scanning the items in front of him. “You actually surprise me.” Raven said, preferring to look at him and not their surroundings. Gar stopped his scan and raised an eyebrow. “Why?” “You’re really mature about this whole thing.” More mature than she was at least. “I would have expected penis jokes or something from you.” “Heh, I’m sure I can erect a few if you’re missing them.” He winked. “But I guess I am more open than most. I mean whatever satisfies you. If it’s butt plugs, it’s butt plugs.” He smiled, pointing to the device. “Certainly not, I don’t get the big deal with anal.” She murmured lowly. The word was almost hard to get out. But he didn’t even flinch. He just nodded and turned to keep scanning. “Besides, I’ve had a bit longer to grow comfortable with all this.” Gar gestured to the store around them. “What do you mean?” “I think I was one of the first of the team to start having sex. I mean when you go through puberty with hundreds of animals in your system, it was a bit harder to control my testosterone.” “And now?” “Now I’m older and in control. But I’ve had enough practice that I can please anyone.” He winked and laughed lightly. Raven rolled her eyes. But watched as he bent down to look at something else. There was something very appealing about him. Confident and open for anything. His rough large hands lightly tracing over the blonde stubble on his chin. And she imagined what those hands might feel like. Biting her lip slightly, she smiled. She certainly wasn’t just a lesbian. Standing, his eyes momentarily flicked over to hers. The smile on his face wasn’t laughing and cocky anymore, but genuinely pleased. For a second she thought she had been caught, but his mood quickly shifted. “I have always pictured you as a whips and chains kinda girl.” He smirked, pointing at the next aisle over. She pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes, “Just because I’m…” She let it drop off, he knew what she meant. “Heh, no. Personal fantasy I suppose,” He mumbled, barely audible. “I don’t like bondage though. Freaks me out.” He said, gracefully changing the subject as they turned a corner. “Like I know chances are I can break out of it. But I haven’t found anyone I trust enough for it.” Feeling a little more comfortable, she offered a bit of conversation, “I don’t like being blindfolded.” He glanced back and nodded. “I really don’t like losing my sight in general, I hate when it happens during a fight.” “What about just dark places? Is that the same?” “No. I don’t like when people can see me and I can’t see them. Freaks me out.” She explained, looking at him. He smiled softly, and picked up a box turning it around a few times. It was nice Raven realized, to actually have someone to talk about this stuff with. Star would of course, but it would be nice to hear a man’s perspective on things. And as nice as Star was, sometimes the over exuberant emotions were a bit exhausting. “What is it?” She asked, peering over the side at the strangely shaped picture. On the back, they had a picture of a cartoon couple using it, but it did little to help her understand. “Heh,” Gar laughed, “I could show you.” He winked, but before she could fumble her way through a comeback he started explaining how it actually worked. And to Raven’s surprise, they spent almost another hour in the store. Gar comfortably telling her as much as he knew and what he liked and didn’t like himself. “Well, are you going to get anything?” He asked as they rounded the last aisle. “What?” Raven stopped and scanned the store, this time with much greater ease. “I um, I wasn’t really thinking about it.” Though, truth be told she had. She had gotten her first, and only toy, as Rachel. And in a different country no less. The trip home had been an anxious mess. Every time something vibrated on the plane she felt the pit of her stomach drop till Cy had turned whatever it was off. And upon finally getting home, she wouldn’t let anyone take her bags in for her. Choosing to teleport the last remaining yards to the freedom of her room. “I um, I don’t need anything.” She settled on and kept walking. A small chuckle sounded behind her as Gar caught up. “Would it be less awkward if I got something?” He asked, obviously catching her bluff. And her replied sigh told him he was right. “Not exactly, I mean what do I get?” She plucked up the first thing beside her. “I mean how does this even work?” Gar grabbed the gel from her hands and popped open the top, sniffing lightly over the sealed lid. “I actually don’t know.” He read over the promise of increased g-spot stimulation, clipping the lid shut again. “Try it.” Putting it back in her hands, he kept walking. Keeping his deal, he appeared back out of the rows with a few dvds. “Ready?” He asked, gesturing to the counter. Raven flipped the little container over in her hands a few more times. She was curious. Glancing around the store she started walking his way. “Yeah.” For now.
