Teen Titans - Do Nothing Day

"I really just need to post these little writing snippets, even if they don't amount to much. This one is my first attempt at writing a Teen Titans fanfic in narrative rather than in script format. We shall see where it goes. I still think that the script format lends itself more to the tone of the TV series." -Casey



Raven raises an eyebrow as she steps into the living room. She glances between Robin, who is typing away furiously on his laptop, and Starfire, who is drumming her fingers sadly across the table.
“Wooh! Try catching up to me now!” Beast Boy shouted.
“You’re gonna pay for that!” Cyborg shouted back.
Raven rolls her eyes at the gamers before turning to Robin. “So, have there been any calls today?” she asked the young detective.
“None! Not even a cat stuck up a tree!” he hissed, typing away in annoyance with the vein on his forehead throbbing.
“And that’s bad?” Raven asked slowly.
“The city’s too quiet,” he replied. “It isn’t natural for any place to be this crime-free. There has to be something behind it!”
Raven stares at him indifferently and then turns around to face Starfire. “Do you know what he’s talking about?” Raven asked her.
“Who is to know?” she huffed. “Perhaps Robin has found something that only he could have found. He is the brilliant detective after all!”
Starfire crosses her arms and turns aside, her eyes blazing and her nostrils flaring with smoke. Raven turns on her heels, trying her best to ignore Starfire’s gruff demeanor. “Okay then,” Raven dismissed. “I’ll be in my room if anyone needs me.”
Raven walks back towards the door, her cape billowing with her brisk pace. Robin looks up from his computer as if just noticing the girl for the first time. “Raven! Wait!” he calls as he jumps over the counter to chase after her. Raven stops just short of the door, turning to face Robin again.
“Have you picked up anything telepathically?” he inquired. “Anything that might account for what’s happening to this city?"
"No," she frowned. "It's been quiet...all day..."

  1. This looks fun! There's a bit of a mix-up with tense in the beginning, if you don't mind me pointing it out. I'd love to see the rest of this.

    1. Gah! Present tense comes so easily in script format! Thanks for pointing that out. ^^
