Gotham Academy, Gotham City

3:00 P.M

As the last bell rang on the last day of freshman year, Dick got up and grabbed his things. He walked over a few blocks to the corner of Kane Ave and Finger Rd. A small apartment building, a few stories tall. Going in, Dick buzzed himself in, and went to the fourth floor. Most of the rooms were unoccupied, which was a good thing. Dick let himself in and dropped his bag off. Going to his room and flipping the switch, the room came alive. His closet opened up and revealed a spare Robin costume. Dick dressed himself. Bruce always told him to throw a few spare suits around the city, and to make sure they were secure and remember where they were for just in case he needed to use them.

Finishing getting ready, Dick walked over to the window and hopped down the fire escape. Behind the building was an abandoned phone booth that was currently being used as a teleporter. He got in and dialled 9. Immediately following that, a white flash zapped him.

"Titans 01- Robin" Boomed the teleporter. And he was home.

Rather, he was in his home away from home. Titans Tower. Looking out across the San Francisco Bay, a tower in the form of a 'T' looked out across the city. All of this was paid for by Bruce Wayne, such a kind man.

Cyborg and Captain Marvel were here, Cyborg because he lived here, and Captain Marvel because he seemed to live here. It was odd, three months ago, Captain Marvel had joined the world. By now, Dick though, he surely should have been on the Justice League, not hanging around a bunch of teens. But for whatever reason he had decided that the Titans were where he belonged. Dick had no compulsions about this, between him, Kara and Donna, there wasn't going to be anything getting in the team's way for very long.

Cyborg and Marvel were sitting on the couch, watching some television.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Robin, what's going on?" asked Victor.

"Not much, just about ready to go on patrol later. Thought I'd stop by for a little while"

"That must be awesome working with Batman." Said Marvel.

"Yeah, its pretty cool. You learn a lot. Anyway guys, I'm going to grab something to eat. I'll be right back." Leaving the room I grabbed an apple and some water. While walking back, the machine went off again.

"Titans 03- Wonder Girl." Donna was home. Sitting down to watch the television with Vic and Captain Marvel. Donna walked over to the balcony, saying hello as she went.

"So what are you guys going to do this summer." Asked Marvel.

"I'm going to be here a lot, so are Donna and Kara." Replied Cyborg

"Well I don't really have much else to do, so I think, if it's alright with you guys, I might hang out here."

"I don't mind. What about you Rob?" Vic asked him.

"I'm probably going to have to split time between here and Gotham."

"Aww man, really?" Said Marvel, the disappointment apparent in his tone.

"Yeah. It's not always easy. Honestly I'd rather just chill here with you guy's." Dick replied with a smile on his face.

A while later Artemis, Wally and Kara made their way to the tower. Suddenly the Towers Monitor started beeping. Cyborg operated the console while everyone else watched. It was a message from the Justice League Watchtower. It read

"Be ready for a briefing in 15 minutes."

"You guys ready? Must be a mission." Dick said.

"Yeah. Been waiting all day to beat some bad guys." Said Wally.

A short while later, Batman arrived. Bruce looked, quite unusually, happy. Or almost happy at least. Bruce walked over to the Command Center of the Tower. Everyone else took a seat.

"You all have performed exceptionally well these last few months. I'd like to say thank you to Captain Marvel for being a vital member."
Marvel stood up and interrupted "Thank you so much sir!" Bruce turned to him and gave him a glare that made him sit down with a much more reserved expression.

"As I was saying" Bruce continued. "The League has decided that you all have the summer to yourselves. Robin, Artemis and Kid Flash are students, and you have a right to enjoy your summer. Cyborg, Supergirl and Wondergirl you also have a right to enjoy the world."

"What about me sir?" Asked Marvel with a raised hand.

"So do you."

"Batman, if I might make a suggestion." Said Cyborg. "I think it might be beneficial if everyone on the team remains here this summer."

"Hmm… What makes you think that?"

"We work best as a whole unit. I think that staying together is a good way to strengthen our team."

"That's a fair point. What do the rest of you think?"

"I think it's a great idea!" Said Marvel.

"Yeah, why not." Said Wally trying to act cool for Donna and Kara.

"I don't have many plans this summer anyway." Said Artemis

"Well you guys are my only friends outside the Island." Chipped in Donna with a smile.

"I suppose so." Said Kara.

"Robin?" Cyborg asked. Dick thought for a moment. Bruce needed him in Gotham, Barbara was only starting out, it wouldn't be fair to Bruce to leave him. Dick turned to ask.

"Well? If it's alright with you, I'd like to stay. Unless you need me in Gotham that is."

"It's fine. If you want to stay, you have every right to do so."

"In that case, you're all on summer Vacation. The League will give you missions from time to time. Seattle PD will be giving you calls from time to time too if they need assistance. Other than that you're all on break." Batman turned and walked back to the teleporter. A flash of light, and he was gone, the team was alone.

"So… What now?" Asked Wally.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely getting out of this costume." Said Artemis.

"I think some more relaxed attire would be appropriate." Said Kara as she floated off to her room, with Donna walking behind her.

"So. What are we going to do now?" Asked Marvel.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling a movie night." Said Wally, already with a bunch of food tucked under his arm. Lucky idiot, that metabolism of his was insane.

"You guys go ahead, I'm gonna go chill out." He said. Dick walked to his room and got out of the Robin uniform and hung it up on the stand. Getting into a sweatshirt and shorts, he walked to the gym. He still wasn't comfortable unmasked in front of the others, Wally and Artemis were, but he was not. Maybe it had to do with living in Gotham, or living with the least trusting person of all time, but Dick didn't trust anybody on the team.

Getting into the gym, Dick began to climb the ropes. The gym was expansive. There were two parts to it, one part for those who were humans, and the other part for the members of the team who had meta-human strength, like Donna, Kara, Marvel and Cyborg. Dick pulled himself up to the top of the gym where their was an acrobatics stage for him. A net hung below for him. As he reached out, he thought to himself about how many times he had done this with his parents. Strange to think that it had been less than a year since their death. So much had happened. Becoming Robin, the Titans, Barbara. It made his head spin if he was being honest.

But even with a spinning head, this was natural to him. Swinging up high, he let go, spinning and falling through the air like he had so many times. Catching the ring and swinging to the next one. A good warm up. Dick reached and grabbed a ten pound weight vest and put it on. Reaching back out, Dick continued working. In a world of Metahumans, he was out to proove that normal humans were still capable of the amazing.

Kara's POV

As she took off her Armor, Kara walked over to the shower to clean up. Turning on the hot water she let it wash over her. Lately she had been having some nightmares she thought she was over. Her Father's experiments, his obsession with machinery. It had been centuries, Argo City was long gone, she only wondered if anyone else had made it. She had made it, and so had Kal-El, was it possible that others did too?

A short while later she was done with her shower. Drying off she dressed herself in a t-shirt with the family crest on the front and a pair of black shorts, coming right to the mid of her thighs. She didn't bother putting anything on her feet, since the tower was constantly maintained by little bot's she and Cyborg had assembled together. That and she flew everywhere. Just then, a knock came from the door.

"Kara, it's Donna, do you have a minute?"

"Yes, you may let yourself in." Donna was clad in a red shirt, with an eagle on it. She had a pair of blue shorts that came up very high on her legs. This was different than what she normally wore, a red jump suit without the sleeves. She also had on her bracers, but unlike Wonder Woman's, hers were black, and about up to her mid forearm in length. Her hair was tied back.

"What brings you here Donna?" She asked

"Oh nothing really. I just wanted to come spend some time with my friend. Maybe we could do something normal earth girls do."

"Like what?"

"Well, according to Artemis, when girls don't have plans the next day, they usually stay up all night and watch movies."

"That sounds mundane at best. What could possibly make that any fun?"

"I'm not sure. I guess I'm just bored, there's not much to do if we aren't doing a mission. I guess I'm going to go to bed then. Goodnight Kara." Donna said a bit disappointed.

"You two better be joking." From down the hall, Artemis walked towards them. She had a plain green shirt on with a pair of long white pants on, with a pair of flip flops on her feet. In her hands she had a case, of what Kara could not see through. In the other hand she had a bag, which had some liquid and cups in it.

Without being asked, Artemis let herself into the room and pulled up a chair. It was called a bean-bag chair, despite not being filled with beans. She put down what she was carrying in both hands and opened up the case. From it she pulled out some small vials of some kind.

"What are you doing?" Kara asked her.

"Unlike you two, I go to school everyday and then come here. So I am going to relax. I don't have many friends outside of here, so I figured I could come and chill with the two girls on this team, but i forgot you both don't know anything about living on Earth. So tonight, I am going to show you what a sleepover is like."

"I think it will be quite alright sister, I was going to be going to bed soon and-" Started Donna before she was cut off by Artemis.

"No you're not. We are taking time off. The Justice League beat the Legion of Doom, what's gonna happen? We're free to do what we want."

"I suppose, but I'm not really feeling it." Said Donna

"Me either." Added Kara. This was silly.

"Oh you two chumps to tough to stay up all night?" Asked Artemis with a smirk on her face.

"Are you calling me, the daughter of the Greek Gods, a coward?" Asked Donna.

"Yes. Yes I am. Come on you two, let your hair down, just a little." Asked Artemis. "Here, Let me show you. This here is called soda. It's a drink most girls drink at a sleepover. Try some." Artemis poured out three cups, one for each of them. Donna's demeanor changed, a smile curled onto her face. She picked up a cup and sat down on the ground and began to sip some of the cups contents.

"Oh Kara you need to try this, it's simply wonderful." Donna said.

"I'm not so sure." Kara replied. This was silly. Honestly almost all of the culture on earth was to some extent.

"What? The girl who can bend steel bars is afraid of having a little bit of soda?" Artemis asked. She was trying to egg her on, and it was working.

"Give me this. Honestly Artemis." And Kara stopped there. This drink was bubbly. It was sharp. It tasted sweet. In that moment Kara realized she was being silly. "Just relax" Kal always said. It was good advice. She had been on edge ever since she arrived on Earth. These were good people, people who cared about her. She needed to relax.

"I'm sorry Artemis. I should not have been so rude." Kara said.

"What else do girls on Earth do at sleepovers?" Donna asked.

"Well, usually we gossip, watch movies and other silly stuff. I paint my nails sometimes."

"Paint your nails?" Asked Donna.

"Yeah. See." And Artemis held up her hands. They had a green color on them. Apparently, Artemis liked Green.

"Ohhh. That is very pretty. Could you do mine?" Dona asked almost spilling her drink.

"Yeah. I think you're a pretty good black, but what color would you want?"

"I think I'll try black if that's ok?"

"Yeah. Right here. You want this color on your toes too?" She asked.

"You paint them too?" Kara asked. This was bizarre. Then again, what she and her friends would do when they hung out would be strange to her.

"Yeah. What about you Kara? What color do you want? I think you'd like red."

"Umm…" She hesitated.

"Better hurry and pick or I'll let Donna do them."

"Oh no." Kara said with a grin. "Anything but that!"

"Red then?" Artemis asked.

"Yes."

This night was sure to be fun.

-AN-
Hi all. So the other day when I got mad about loosing a lot of my work, I wanted to write something a bit silly and less serious. So I decided to write this. The Teen Titans spending time together on a less serious subject. I thought it was a fun idea, and I hope you enjoy it. Also if you've never read anything I've written, First of all hello. Second, The Titans in this story are from a story I wrote a while ago, which is why people like Supergirl and Shazam are here, despite never being apart of the team.

Anyway, hope you all enjoy, another chapter will be out soon. Have a great day everyone.
