Interference (Two-Shot)


"I still can't believe this actually worked," the red-haired human muttered, her eyes watching the two dark-haired boys as they chatted about something trivial on a date. "I mean, I could've sworn Danny was gonna flip after a week…"

A chuckle came next to her from the mischievous alien girl she had plotted with. "Richard's been overworked like crazy recently. He's been obsessing over something and he just needed this break." Kori sighed, smiling slightly as the couple before them laughed a joke they hadn't heard. "He needs this."

Jazz nodded her head in agreement. "Danny's been so stressed, too. He feels like he has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders all the time and I just… thought meeting someone would help him relax." She smiled and turned her head to look over at Kori. "Ya know?"

Her friend nodded her head enthusiastically. "Oh, yes. Sometimes it's just like…"

"…They act like…"

"…Everyone's out to get them…"

"…And they just need a breather!" The two finished in near-perfect sync. Their eyes met for a moment before they began to chuckle lightly.

Jazz cocked her head a bit, returning her attention to her brother and his boyfriend. "They're really cute together."

"They are indeed!" Kori agreed.

"But they both have secrets," Jazz muttered softly. "And sometimes, secrets are hard to work around." She thought back to before she knew her brother's identity, when she thought he was truly a troubled teen of sorts.

Kori nodded her head. "Yes. Secrets can shatter them, as well as other relationships." She thought back to the entire Red X event, and how utterly betrayed they had all been by their leader. The alien brushed the thoughts aside and smiled brightly. "But it is also good!"

Her friend hummed in agreement. "They can bond. And trust."

Kori nodded again. "Right." She bit her lip like she wanted to say more, and after a moment of consideration, did. "Jazz, do you wanna see a movie sometime?"

Jazz blinked, stared at her for a moment, and then smiled. "Yeah. I'd like that."

They watched for another couple minutes as Richard and Danny hung out across from them at the coffee shop, only occasionally ducking to avoid being noticed.

They weren't the only ones, though…

Rachel sat uncomfortably with two other people she had met recently across from her. One was a goth, like herself, though that was the only thing they had in common. The boy was a mixture of Cyborg and Beast Boy… with the fascination of meet to go with it, while the girl took BB's role of vegetarian-lover.

Samantha Manson sighed as she poked at her salad with disinterest, not all too hungry. "So. Rachel. What kind of guy is Richard?"

"Yeah," the beret boy agreed. "I know Danny's happy with him and all, but we're still a bit worried…"

Rachel didn't exactly feel like talking, but she could feel their emotions pouring off them in rather annoying waves. "Richard's a good guy," the demon-in-disguise informed. "He's just a bit closed off at times and won't open up until there's a lot of trust between him and Danny."

Sam's face scrunched up a bit at that, but nodded in acknowledgement. "Danny's kinda like that… Amazing guy. Had a crush on him all freshman year, but he was utterly clueless." She laughed as a small blush crossed her face. "Of course, he knows now, but it doesn't matter because I'm going out with Tuck."

At that, her boyfriend slung his arm over her shoulder. "You betcha. Even if she refuses to eat meat, I love her." Her moved in for a kiss, but Sam placed her hand on his mouth.

"You smell like cooked cow. Kiss me after you drink your coffee."

Tucker pouted.

Rachel rose an eyebrow. "How long have you two been going out?" She wasn't prying, per se, but she was just curious.

"Early junior year," they jinxed. Sam continued, "Lotsa stuff happened during freshman and sophomore year, but it kinda cooled down…"

"What kind of stuff?"

"Ghost stuff," Tucker answered. "After all, we're from Amity Park."

Rachel knew they were hiding something, and almost pried more, but decided their secrets were there's. She didn't exactly need to know.

"How about you?" Tucker turned around, shifting the conversation so that it focused on her. "Anything…interesting?"

Other than that she was Raven of the Teen Titans, a half-demon, and could rip them apart with her powers if she wanted to? …"I like tea."

Meanwhile, at a table another bit away but still within the line of sight, Victor, a pale-skinned Garfield, and a girl named Valerie were all stuck in a very intense conversation.

"What superhero couples are there again?" Valerie said, half wondering through curiosity, the other bit her slight A-list gossip issue even though she wasn't a part of it.

Victor held up a hand to tick of his fingers. "For young Titans… Kid Flash and Jinx, Herald and Bumble Bee—"

"Dude, I thought Bee was going out with Aqua," Garfield interrupted, giving Victor a side-glance.

Victor snorted. "That was months ago. Her and Herald started going out after the recall meeting a couple weeks ago."

Garfield huffed. "Oh. I wasn't aware of that."

"Who else?" Valerie pestered, though she was amused at their trade of dialogue.

Victor paused. "Well, I heard about Elle Phantom — you know, that ghost chick who looks like Phantom? — was going out with Speedy. And I think that Jericho was going out with Argent, but I could be wrong there."

"And Robin's in a relationship, but no one knows who with," Garfield added, though he had a knowing smile on his face.

"Funny," Valerie mentioned. "Phantom said the same thing to me." Eyes locked, and after a moment, the three of them all turned their heads in the direction of the raven-haired couple.

"Dude…" Garfield, or Beast Boy now, started.

"You don't think…" Valerie, AKA the Red Huntress, added.

"But then…" Victory, otherwise known as Cyborg, added.

The three shared an amazed look and wondered if their suspicions were confirmed.

They all broke into large grins and burst out laughing. After all, the idea was utterly ridiculous. Richard, Robin of the Teen Titans? Danny Fenton, ghost hero Danny Phantom? And them as a couple?

…Nah. It was probably just a coincidence.


Richard and Danny chuckled again, but instead of laughing at something the other had said, they were laughing at all the people they were both well aware were staring at them.

Danny rolled his eyes, smiling in a goofy way at the sheer hilarity of it. "They can't just leave us alone on a date once, can they, Robin?"

"Nope," the hero stated. "I think our teammates are too interested in out business to do that, Phantom."

The half-ghost nodded. "And they still haven't figured out we know each other's secrets?"

Robin snorted. "If they don't find it out by tomorrow when we go to the water park, we'll have to tell them."

Danny chortled. "And they call me clueless…"

"You are sometimes. It took you three more days to figure out my secret than it did for me to know yours," Robin pointed out.

Danny stuck out his tongue. "Whatever."


So… I'm in the car for a sixteen hour car ride. Of course I'm going to write something. And this just popped into my head so I was like, "Eh, why not?" so now it's a two-shot. Cute though, huh?

*Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie are all 18 and it's the summer after highschool graduation. Let's say this is an AU where Jazz hasn't told Danny she knows his secret, but she knows. And Valerie knows too…somehow. Maybe Danielle told her or something. (*hasnoideawhatplotcouldpossiblyworkforthisthing*)

On a side note… I've got another twelve hours in the car. If anyone has a plot bunny they'd love to see a one-shot for, lemme know. If it interests me, I'll give it a shot. Because I'm bored.

Buh-Byez,

Jet
