How You Meet
Robin
You put in an order for your favorite coffee (if you don't like coffee then you got a tea or something) before waiting off to the side for them to make it. This was how you usually spent your Friday afternoons, studying at your usual table at Starbucks. When you got your cup you made your way to the booth which was right next to a window, perfect for a beautiful view of the city.
You sipped the hot beverage while unloading your bookbag onto the table, starting with your homework. After that, you dug around for a pencil, settling with an ink pen.
About half way through the homework a familiar voice made you groan. You looked towards the door to see Ex/N talking with some friends. You ducked down, hoping they wouldn't see you. Unfortunately, things just haven't been going your way today.
"Y/N? Is that you?" He said with a fake smile. You frowned at him.
"Yeah. It's me." He laughed, forcing his way into the booth next to you.
"Oh wow. You know, we should go out and get drinks sometime. For old times sake."
You shook your head. "No, I don't think that'd be a good idea."
He frowned before smiling again. "Well, then maybe dinner?" You shook you head and continued to work. "What's the matter? Afraid you'll fall in love with me again?" He said pridefully.
"Trust me. That's not it." You said without looking up from your paper.
He growled quietly before asking through clenched teeth, "then why not?"
You laughed sarcastically, turning to look at him. "Oh I don't know, maybe because you're a total dickwad? Now if you don't mind, this math homework is really hard and I can't focus with you here so could you please just leave me alone?"
He growled again before grabbing you roughly by the arm. "You listen to me, bitch. You aren't anything without me. I tried to be nice but you just wouldn't cooperate. So now I'm taking things into my own hands."
He dragged you up from your seat making you yell and thrash around, getting the attention of other customers.
"Hey!" You both turned to see a young man wearing a mask and cape. "I'm pretty sure she asked you to leave her alone." He spoke, stepping up to Ex/N.
He laughed before snarling at the man. "Why don't you go play dress up somewhere else and keep your nose out of our business."
He tried to turn around but the Mystery man grabbed his arm making Ex/N lose his grasp on you. You scurried out of the way as Ex/N turned to him violently.
"I said to leave us alone!" Ex/N growled while shoving him, who immediately retaliated, his fist connecting with Ex/N's nose, knocking him out cold.
You watched wide eyed as the man approached you. "Are you alright miss?" He asked while eying the bruise that was starting to form on your arm.
You nodded numbly as you processed what just happened. "Y-You saved me." You said while pressing one of your palms against your chest, as if it would calm your quickly beating heart.
He responded with a chuckle. "It's kinda my job."
You looked over his outfit as it all began to make sense. "You're a superhero?"
He shrugged one shoulder while answering. "You could say that."
You smiled kindly at him. "Thank you."
He laughed nervously while looking down. "I heard you were having trouble with your math homework." He said while pointing towards the papers that were spread out on your table. "I'm pretty good at math. I can help if you want?" He offered sheepishly.
You nodded with a smile. "I'd like that."
Throughout the next hour he helped with your homework and chatted with you about several different topics.
When you got home you read over each of your paper to make sure all the questions were answered. At the top of one paper was a phone number and a note that said "call me sometime :)". You smiled while putting the contact in your phone.
Cyborg
You sighed, finally glad to be heading home. You were driving home after a particularly rough shift at your job.
You smiled, feeling the wind in your hair as you drive down the deserted, quiet road. The silence was broken by a sputtering coming from your engine.
"Oh no." You said as the car began slowing down. "No. Please don't do this today." You begged while pulling over to the side of the road.
Jumping out of the car, you made your way to the front. You pulled open the hood to be greeted by a large cloud of smoke. You waved your hands around in an attempt to keep the smoke from invading your lungs. Once most of the smoke cleared you leaned over to look inside.
Except you didn't know much about cars so there wasn't much you could do.
You heard the sound of a car pulling up behind you and you quietly hoped it wasn't a perverted old man in a semi.
"Excuse me, miss!" You were surprised, and secretly relieved, to see it was a man made almost completely of metal. "Having car troubles?" He asked, stepping up besides you.
"You could say that." You said while leaning against the car.
"You don't mind if I take a look, do you?" He asked, gesturing to the car.
"Oh, not at all." You said stepping out of the way. He leaned over the front of the car looking around and messing with a few things.
"You know a lot about cars?" You asked, trying to make small talk.
He smiled at you while responding. "Oh yeah. My car back there," he pointed to the large car behind you, which you turned to look at, "I built it from scratch."
You whistled. "That's amazing."
He nodded. "Yeah, she's my baby. Anyways, I think I see the problem here." You turned to look into the car as he adjusted something. "Try it now." He said while standing straight and closing the hood.
You climbed into the driver's side and twisted the key. It started up no problem which made you both smile.
You climbed out of the car and approached him. "Dude, I can't thank you enough."
He shrugged, "Please, call me Cyborg."
You smirked, "Does this mean you want to see me again?"
He nodded. "I'd love to..." He trailed off waiting for a name. You happily gave it to him.
He handed you a slip a paper with a phone number on it. "In case you ever have car trouble again, or if you just wanna hang out or something." He said sheepishly.
You smirked, "I think I'll take you up on that." He smiled before heading off to his car and driving away, you doing the same soon after.
Beast Boy
You rushed into the small diner, away from the snow that covered the ground outside. While pulling off your hat, you took a seat at one of the bar stools.
The waitress, an older woman, stood at the other side of the counter with a notebook in hand. "What can I getcha, Hun?" She asked with a smile.
You looked down at the menu before requesting a hot chocolate. She wrote down the order before leaving and you pulled out your phone to keep you occupied, leaning with your elbows on the table.
"Hi!" You heard a cheery voice suddenly shout beside you. You turned to look at a boy smiling brightly at you. You were a little shocked to see that his skin and hair is green.
"Um... Hi." You spoke, looking him over.
"My names Garfield." He said, offering a hand to you.
"I'm Y/N." You replied, shaking his hand.
"Beast Boy, you aren't supposed to give out your real name. Remember?" You both turned to look at a tall man made almost completely of metal.
"Oh, right. I'm 100% not Garfield." He said slyly after turning his attention back to you.
You raised an eyebrow and the metal man rolled his eyes. "You guys are so strange. No offence." You spoke while looking back and forth between them.
"None taken." The metal man said while taking a seat next to Garfield. "My name is Cyborg." He said with a wave.
You hummed in response. "It suits you."
The waiter stopped by your table, giving you your drink before leaving to take care of other customers.
"So Garf- uh Beast Boy. If you don't mind my asking, why are you..." You raised a hand to gesture towards him before continuing, "...green?"
He smiled, "oh that's easy. We're superheros." He said while gesturing to himself then cyborg.
You nodded. "Cool. So you guys protect the city and stuff?"
He nodded. "We're the Teen Titans. Us and a few of our friends that is." You listened intently, genuinely interested in the conversion.
"I just moved to town. So I've never heard of you guys before now." You said, setting down the empty cup.
He smirked while responding. "Well, maybe you'll be lucky enough to see us in action. We fight a lot of bad guys in the city."
You smiled. "That'd be really cool."
There was a loud beep making both of you jump. BB and Cyborg both pulled out a small circular pager before looking at each other.
"Crime alert." Cyborg said before jumping up from his seat.
Beast Boy looked over at you apologetically. "I have to go."
You smiled. "I get it. Who else is gonna save the city?"
He smiled back and jumped up. He ran towards the door, stopping halfway before turning back to you and taking your arm.
"Here." He muttered while sloppily writing a phone number across your arm. "Call me sometime." He said with a wink before running out the door.
You looked down at the number with a smile before putting the contact in your phone under the name Garfield.
Raven
You stepped away from the dancefloor to take a seat at the bar.
You're friend F/N had dragged you to this club for a "girls night out." She was grinding up against some guy she just met so you excused yourself from their presence.
"What can I get ya?" The bartender asked while drying the inside of a cup.
"Just some water will do." You said monotonously.
"You don't want any alcohol?" He asked with a raised a brow.
"Nah, I don't drink."
He shrugged. "Alright."
As you were taking a drink a girl sat next to you. She was wearing a strange outfit with a cape and was very pale. She pulled her hood off letting her shoulder length purple hair loose. "Being here is a complete waste of time." She said quietly.
"Finally. Someone said it." You turned to look at her with a smile.
"Why are you here then?" She asked.
You pointed to your friend who stumbled around, probably drunk. "She dragged me here."
She hummed before pointing to a group of strange looking people who were dancing. A guy in a cape, a man made of metal, a green boy, and an orange lady. "They dragged me here."
"Looks like we're both here against our will." You joked.
She smiled. "Looks like it."
You looked her over before offering a hand to her. "I'm Y/N."
She hesitantly took your hand and shook it. "Raven."
You nodded. "What's up with your outfit? Not that it's bad, just unique." You asked while looking over her outfit.
"I just got off work."
You widened your eyes. "That's your uniform? Must be a pretty casual business."
She shrugged. "Being a superhero has its perks."
You did a double take. "Superhero?"
She shrugged again before answering with a simple, "Yeah."
It was quiet for a minute before she spoke again. "What about you? What's up with your outfit?" She said while looking at you.
You looked down at your clothes, a pair of loose jeans and a baggy t-shirt, before asking a question of your own. "You don't like it?"
She smiled, "That's not it. Most girls wear tight dresses and stuff to this club." She said while looking over the dancefloor at all the girls wearing revealing clothing.
"I'm not like most girls." You joked with a smirk which made her smile and roll her eyes.
"No. I guess you aren't."
You looked down at your cup before taking another drink. "Here." You turned to look at her as she spoke. She held out a short piece of paper with a phone number written on it. "I've got to go. Call me sometime or whatever."
You took the sheet of paper and nodded at her. "Definitely." She turned and left with the group of people she pointed at earlier.
Starfire
You sighed, leaning back on your hands. You were sitting on the edge of the roof of your apartment complex with your legs dangling over the edge. The scenery was beautiful this time of day. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the city. A few stars shone through the remaining sunlight and you couldn't help but sigh in delight.
"The sky is beautiful here on earth."
You tensed and whipped your head towards the source of the sudden voice that broke the silence. Next to you, sitting in a similar fashion, was a girl. She had orange skin and long fiery red hair. You relaxed when you saw she wasn't going to harm you.
"You've seen the sky on other planets?" You questioned, already knowing the answer. It was clear from her appearance she wasn't from earth.
"Oh yes." She said turning to look at you. "But none are as colorful and relaxing as this one."
You nodded, taking in her words. "Who are you?" You asked after a moment of silence.
She smiled kindly. "People here on earth call me Starfire. What do the people call you?"
You giggled at her odd choice of words before responding. "The people call me Y/N."
She looked at the sky once again before turning her attention back to you, "I would very much like to meet with you again, Y/N."
You smiled. "Alright."
She thought for a moment before asking, "Do to have a cellular communication device?"
You nodded and smirked, finding her way of speaking amusing. "Yes, I have a cell phone. Do you want my number?"
This time it was her turn to nod. "Then I can send you written messages!"
You giggled, writing your phone number onto her arm with a marker you had in your bag.
She smiled, floating up off the rooftop. "It was very lovely meeting you!"
"Likewise!" She flew off disappearing quickly. "Strange girl." You mumbled quietly to yourself.
