A New Generation of Titans

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Naruto.

AN: Had this idea floating around in my head for a while now, but never got around to writing it up until recently. Even so, this is only the intro chapter, (obviously,) but hopefully it will let me see if any is actually interested in this crossover anymore.

As far as Teen Titans canon is concerned, this replaces the events of the episode 'Lightspeed', and continues from there in the Narutoverse.

Chapter 1: A Bit of Bad Luck

Jinx groaned as she started to regain consciousness. Her head was pounding worse than it did after the last time she had to spar with Mammoth! Slowly opening her eyes, she saw several blurs hovering over her. They soon resolved into faces… young faces. 'Ugh,' she thought, 'I hate dealing with brats. They're always so unreasonable. I could always just hex them, but that seems like overkill. Maybe if I just ignore them, then they'll go away.'

Unfortunately, that theory was blown when a blonde girl leaned in and grabbed her shoulder before speaking. "Sakura-chan, are you okay? You just suddenly fell down."

Jinx was about to try and explain to this girl that she did not know Japanese, when it hit her. 'Wait, how did I understand that?' Experimentally, she spoke, choosing her words carefully. "What did you say?" Sure enough, she spoke Japanese quite fluently for some reason. 'What's going on here? That didn't even sound like my voice!'

The blonde looked concerned. "I was asking if you were okay, Sakura-chan."

Now, Jinx knew she did not have a genius intellect like Gizmo, but one thing she definitely was, was cunning. She knew that sometimes, playing dumb really was your best bet, especially when trying to figure out what was going on. "Who's Sakura?"

The children around her reacted with the surprise she expected. The blonde one squeezed her shoulder and said, "Wait right here, I'll go get a teacher."

Well, that gave her more pieces of information; she was apparently in school, and these kids were her classmates. In addition, they thought her name was 'Sakura', and everyone was speaking Japanese. Jinx frowned, trying to remember how she had gotten here.

Slowly the memories came back to her. The Teen Titans were off fighting the Brotherhood of Evil, and the Titans East had returned to Steel City. So, she and the Hive Five had decided to go a robbing spree. Their first stop had been a museum. Everything had been going perfectly; Gizmo had disabled the security with ease, and the necklace she was targeting was right where it was supposed to be.

It was the moment she touched the necklace that something went wrong. There had been a surge of power from the necklace that the exact opposite of her own bad luck powers. The clash of opposing energies had caused her to black out from the pain… and then she had woken up here. 'How I got here isn't really important.' Jinx thought. 'It's where I am, and how I'm going to get back that matters.'

Seeing the blonde girl returning with a woman Jinx could only assume was the teacher. Standing up, Jinx came to another realization. 'These brats are just as are just as tall as I am.' Jinx thought. 'That means I'm a brat… great.'

The teacher was completely plain. Average build, shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, and a completely forgettable face. 'Huh,' Jinx thought, 'I wonder if she has trouble keeping student's attention? Those looks would be great on a ninja or a spy, but who ever heard of a ninja teacher? How ridiculous!'

The teacher leaned down and asked the same question the girl had asked. "Are you okay, Sakura-chan?"

Now Jinx found herself faced with a decision. First, she could continue playing dumb to try and get more information to figure out what was going on, or second, she could calmly explain that she was actually a teenage super-villain named Jinx, and get carted off to prison or a loony bin. 'REAL tough choice.' With that thought in mind, she put on a confused expression and spoke. "Am I Sakura?"

"Yes, you are." Growing concerned, the teacher asked, "What do you remember?"

Jinx knew that the key to a good lie was to mix in some truth. "Well, I remember waking up, and the Blonde Girl asking if I was okay, but that's it." Another trick was to diffuse any suspicion, and pity worked great for that. Putting on a scared expression, she asked, "Why can't I remember anything else?"

The teacher squeezed her shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan. We'll go to the hospital, and they'll figure out what's wrong in no time."

As she let the woman lead her off, Jinx thought, 'Here's hoping they don't, or I'll be in real trouble then.'

Jinx stared and her jaw dropped. She couldn't help it.

They had gotten to the hospital, and jinx had gone to use the bathroom while they waited for the doctor. It was as she was washing her hands that she got her first look at her reflection since coming here. She knew she was smaller, but this? 'This doesn't look like me at all!' As she left the restroom with a dejected sigh, she at least had one consoling thought. 'Well, at least my hair is still pink. I can still feel my magic, so maybe I can use that to fix my eyes. Someone would probably ask questions about that though.'

Shortly after she finished, the doctor showed up. The doctor looked normal except for the odd headband she was wearing. Jinx had seen many people wearing them on her way here, and several had given off pretty dangerous feelings.

The teacher spoke up. "Thank you for seeing us so quickly. Sakura here collapsed during class, and now seems to be having memory issues. I've already sent a message to her parents, and they should be here soon."

'Parents?' Jinx thought with a painful tightening of her chest. She hadn't thought about the possibility of this girl, whose body she had somehow gained possession of, having parents. Jinx's own parents had both died when she was still very young, and due to the nature of her powers, she couldn't help but wonder if their deaths had really been accidents, or if she had just not had enough control at that age. Either way, parents were not a subject she liked to think about, and now she had no choice but to try and face parents that would think she was their daughter.

She put that aside for the moment, however, as the doctor knelt before her. "Well, then," the doctor said. "Let's try and figure out what's wrong, shall we?" With that, he lifted a hand towards her head.

Only for Jinx to go wide-eyed when his hand started glowing blue. Reacting on instinct, she used her usual method of a backflip to gain some space, Sadly, due to her being in the body of a child, it did not get her as far as she would have liked, but it was still far enough to slip before the teacher's leg and play the part of the scared little girl again. "W-why is his hand g-glowing!?" She stuttered out.

Both the teacher and the doctor were surprised by the girl's reaction, due to the reflexes, speed, and instinct it involved. The teacher was by far the more shocked, because if she was honest Sakura Haruno had none of those things before.

So, the question was, why did she have them now?

AN: And that's it for now. I have plenty of ideas for this, though, so make sure to let me know if you like it, otherwise I may spend my time working on a different story instead.
