Chapter 1:
Anya Jun
"Ma, what this new school about?" Anya sighed as her mother drove her into a new world filled with skyscrapers and zooming taxis. Her waist-long ebony hair flowed behind her; her bangs caressed her pale face and forest-green eyes that glowed slightly whenever she looked away. Her small build was surprisingly buffed a bit, due to years of martial arts training in Southern Japan and South Korea. Her face was fair, but the hints of old scars were still visible to the naked eye. Her clothes seemed to match her mood: black long-sleeved shirt, black karate-based pants, black boots, and several wristbands covering her arm.
"Anya, sweetie, these kids are just like you, so please, baby, don't get mad." Mrs. Jun cooed. 'Like me? As if,' she thought, and just sighed and leaned on her arm, staring out the window, trying to imagine what these new people were like. She thought about what her mother described to her: a boy who can shape shift, a girl who can telepathically control the dark, a half-man, half-robot kid, an alien girl, and a former sidekick with an ego whose name escapes her. She lost her thoughts as her mother honked her horn and smiled uncontrollably.
"We're here, honey! This is Titans Tower! Or, the pier to it..." Mrs. Jun reached for her cell phone and punched in some random numbers and lifted the phone to her ear, and waited. How she can be so willing to lose her, Anya had no clue. "Hello? Yes, this is Katherine Jun; we spoke the other day... Yes, we're here... Uh-huh... Aqualad? I see... Alright... Yes, thank you very much!!" She excitedly closed her phone and shooed her daughter out her car. "Go! Go! That young man over there will take you there! Go, now, don't make them late!"
Anya just sat for a second in the car, then unclipped her seatbelt, and opened the door. She knew what her mother really wanted: she wanted her freak-of-a-daughter gone and out of her life. Ironically, so did Anya. As soon as she exited out of the car, her mother immediately screeched her car out of there in a hurry, nearly running her over. 'What a way to go and leave your offspring on the very eve of her 16th birthday,' she thought crudely. She could practically hear her mother humming as she left.
"...Bye, Mom." Anya whispered sarcastically, and turned to look for this 'Aqualad' the people on the phone were talking about. The first thing she saw was some teen aged kid in blue and black spandex. "You 'Aqua Kid,' or something?"
"Aqualad, and yes, I am. And you are...?" The Spandex-Kid raised his hand to her, waiting for a greeting. Anya cautiously stared at his hand, and shoved her hands in her pockets.
"...Anya Jun. I'm the new kid here." She nodded to his hand. "If you don't wanna die, then put your hand down." Surprised, Aqualad let his arm go limp, and just nodded back.
"Alright, then, follow me." He sighed in confusion and looked down by the pier. "Come on, I've arranged a ride for you." Anya nodded and walked a few steps behind him. She observed him from behind, and thought of different scenarios and how, exactly, he'd get them to the Tower. Before she could ask, Aqualad stopped and turned to her.
"Jump in." She stared at him, and walked past him to see what he meant by, 'jumping in.' She nearly ran for cover as soon as she saw a pair of huge, green eyes staring back at her, and something whistling in the water.
"Whoa, back up... You want me to jump in the mouth of a whale?! Are you insane?!" She fumed at him, but stayed her distance. She didn't want to get in trouble on her first day of being recruited. Aqualad lifted an eyebrow, then turned to the whale and squinted. Soon enough, the whale responded, and dived back under the water. Seconds later, a huge, orange submarine floated to the surface and the first three out of five hatches opened to reveal one open seat, and two boys, one that looked like an auto shop, and the other, also in spandex, looked like he was destined to be a general in the army (or a God) as soon as he turned 18.
"Yo! You're Anya, right? Hop on, since you won't take B.B.'s ride." The robot-kid thumbed to the whale on his right, who suddenly transformed into a kid with green skin and purple and black spandex. 'What is with these guys and spandex?!' Anya thought dully, and sighed. Despite her thoughts, she kept her emotions to herself.
"Sure, whatever, just don't touch me." She read the others reactions and sighed. "I'll tell ya later." She nearly growled as she jumped into an empty seat in the sub, and twitched. "What the--?!" She stood up for a second, then growled again, and grabbed the headphones off the seat. After seconds of turning it and staring, she adjusted it on her head and clicked on the communication link. She wasn't going to use it, but then again, they'd want to talk to her. She jumped as soon as the hatch slammed shut and the pneumatics to close it hissed in reply. Sighing, she looked up to see Aqualad jump in the water and swim right next to her seat. She leaned back into the seat, and scowled. 'This sucks...'
(A/N: I know that as soon as you've read this chapter, I have failed to mention what her powers were except for the small part that said, "If you don't want to die, then put your hand down." I did this on purpose. I will mention her powers in the next few chapters, and then some, so until then, please R&R!)
