A Titan's birthday approaches.

As you are in the middle of cleaning the hallways one day, an orange hand covers your mouth while another pulls you within one of the rooms. As embarrassing as it was to admit, you were caught off guard by the action and thus failed to respond as you had been drilled to by Slade. Thankfully, it turned out to have worked in your favor.

Still, you knew it would be in your best intered to omit that from your next report: the penalty for lowering your guard in enemy territory carried a rather severe punishment.

You looked into the eyes of Starfire, whose own face expressed a number of different emotions in rapid fire succession. Excitedness, nervousness, worry, joy, and many other quickly flashed by. You quickly lowered the defensive stance you took almost instinctually (thankfully, you had enough thought in you to mask your guard into a deceptively innocent one, provided the other party was not especially practiced in even a minor number of martial arts).

"Friend Dan, have any of the others told you about the party of surprise that is approaching the end of the week?" she asks, voice saturated in barely contained happiness.

You shake your head no, but mentally, you began re-reviewing the Titans' profiles in your head, attempting to deduce whatever the Titans would have cause to celebrate around this time of year.

In a short amount of time, it becomes obvious at what would warrant a "surprise party".

The Titans are about to celebrate the birthday of one of their members.
