A/N: Oh yeah, that's right. More ridiculous escapades with Speedy and Kid Flash here (although mostly just Speedy.) Inspired by copious amounts of Kerbal Space Program. I don't own "Love Is All Around."

Funny story: my dad walked in while I was writing this, took one look at it, and said in his best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice the single word: "Cocainum."

My family are now convinced that I am on drugs, so that's a problem. Review and enjoy!


One Hundred And Eighty Five Miles High

Raven woke up from a sleep she didn't remember falling into, and tried to open her eyes which were conceivably glued shut.

She noticed the Titans alarm blaring. Oh forget it, destroy the city if you must but please bring me some aspirin before you do, she thought. Her mind belatedly registered that it was not the Titans alarm at all but her communicator ringing loudly in her ear, which hurt her head like nothing she had ever encountered, so she grabbed it from the air it was apparently floating in and answered the call.

"Hello?" she asked weakly.

"Thank God, I'm not the only one." said a desperately ill-sounding female voice.

"Who are you?" Raven asked, cursing her headache and also the fact that she couldn't talk in more than a choked whisper.

"My name is Speedy, I think," the voice replied, "but don't ask me who Speedy is because I honestly don't know. The man beside me in bed seems to think I know him."

Raven heard Kid Flash laughing loudly in the background.

"Speedy," she said experimentally, "what happened last night, and why are you a girl?"

"Alcohol happened," Speedy said drowsily, "lots and lots and lots of alcohol."

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

"Do you at least know what time it is?"

"Two o'clock."

"Why are you calling me at this time in the morning?"

"It's the afternoon, Raven."

"Oh. How did that happen?"

"A fluctuation in the space time matrix tube, I don't know. I skipped school when we learned that."

"Oh god, I think I'm dying."

"Me too Raven, me too. Where are you anyway? Neither you or Robin are anywhere in the Tower."

Raven squinted. "Wherever I am, there's a lovely mural of the Earth on the ceiling."

"Oh."

"Why are you saying 'Oh' in that tone of voice?" Raven asked suspiciously (as suspiciously as she could under the circumstances).

"What's out the other window?" Speedy asked tentatively.

"Another mural, but this one's of space." Raven suddenly had a thought. "Speedy, am I on a spaceship?"

"Very probably." Speedy admitted. "You and Robin's communicators read that you are currently 185,062 metres above Titans Tower and travelling at roughly the same speed as the Earth rotates."

"So Robin is here too?"

"Well, his belt is. And unless you're wearing his costume up there, that means he is as well."

Raven vaguely checked herself for Robin's costume, and found it lacking. "No, I'm not wearing his costume."

"Well then what are you wearing?"

"We are not having this conversation. And aren't you a woman now?"

"Damn. I forgot."

Robin swam slowly into the area of the ship Raven was currently floating in.

"Rae, you don't recollect flying into space recently, do you?" he asked.

Raven shook her head and managed to send herself into an uncontrollable spin. Robin swam over and magnetised his boots, attaching himself to the wall of the ship and grabbing Raven to steady her.

"Okay, that was nauseating. Your hair looks hilarious in zero gravity, by the way." she said, blinking a few times and taking a breath.

"Can we concentrate on getting back to Earth please?"

Speedy's voice chimed through the communicator irritatingly loudly, "No rush, everything's fine down here. Apart from the obvious fact that I'M A BLOODY WOMAN and all."

"You're the one with access to the T-Jet, why can't you just fly up and get us?" Raven pointed out.

"I didn't think of that, okay? And besides, the seatbelt chafes. God damn my own well-endowment."

"Your cans cannot be that big, Speeds." Robin reasoned.

"This is the weirdest conversation I've had in a very long time." Raven suddenly realised.

"This is nothing on the time when Robin turned Kid Flash into a pony, trust me." Speedy chirped. "But whatever, fine, I'll fire up the T-Jet and come pick you up, bravely facing woman problems all the way. Be good, kids!"

Robin shut the communicator and switched on the radio sleepily.


* seventeen and a half minutes later *


"-and this just in, Thea Harper and Wally West have triumphed in the finals of Strictly Come Dancing for the third year running! Now, back to you, John." the radio newswoman said.

"Thanks, Cindy. I'm playing a lively little request: it's "Love Is All Around" by Slade and the Snipers!" her co-presenter announced cheerily.

"Robin?" Raven asked as the song struck up.

"Raven?" he replied.

"Who's Thea Harper?"

"Thea Harper is Speedy's alias for when he's turned into a woman."

Raven's eyes widened. "What, so this has happened before?" she exclaimed incredulously.

"You name it, we've done it." Robin said, before looking out of the window to see the T-Jet approaching from the right.

Speedy, now evidently a woman with short red hair wearing a version of the Speedy costume which had been modified to fit a feminine figure, waved enthusiastically out of the front canopy. She accidentally knocked a button on the side of the dashboard and the engine suddenly detached itself and floated off back towards the planet.

"Shit." her voice crackled through the com-link.


Cyborg watched as the little dot representing the T-Jet stopped and separated into two different dots, then flashed red and went out entirely.

"Shit shit shit. Shit. Shit. Cyborg, I just blew up the engines. Help!" Speedy said in a panic.

He sighed. "Well, this is another fine mess."
