One normal day at Titans Tower: Beast Boy is on Game station 2, Starfire is playing with Silkie, and Raven is reading one of her books. Cyborg and Robin had been gone at times for the past few weeks and the others have not known where they have been. This day they had revealed what they had been up to. The alarm had sounded to get their attention. "Titans, I have an announcement to make," said Robin.
Starfire was lit up, "What is such the occasion Robin?"
Cyborg had jumped in to explain, "Well you know how we've been gone these past few weeks? Well we have come to not only tell but show you, come on in!" Everyone in the room waited watching the door, and then came from the door a teenager that BB, Raven, nor Star had ever seen before.
"I like to introduce you to Clutch, our newest Teen Titan," as Robin said that they were all in shock.
"Robin, where did you even meet him?" Raven said if she was actually interested.
"Well the day I moved here into the city, it was my first criminal to catch and when I got there this kid came and assisted me in taking him down." Robin took a glance at the kid standing with them, "Then we started to talk and get acquainted with each other, which was right before I saw Starfire come to Earth, I asked him if he wanted to come but he refused, but we kept in touch over time."
Beast Boy jumped in curiously, "But dude, why is he here now to become a Titan?"
Robin started to explain, "He called me to ask about an experiment, an experiment to combine all three of your powers into him, and this is where Cyborg came in."
All of them are really surprised now, "But how can you accomplish such a goal?" asked Star with great attention.
"I have collected certain parts of DNA from all three of you and have found the origin of the DNA that contains the source of each of your powers and transferred each into him, now we need your help to train him with all your powers," explained Cyborg, "So you can spend the next few days teaching Clutch one by one, Robin already taught him his moves in martial arts," everyone agreed with this. Clutch went with Star to the Gym but while on the way out Raven gave a small smile towards him. The next few days went by fast, Star taught Clutch about her star bolts and her alien strength and tested his new powers on the combat practice course. The next day BB taught him how to visualize each animal to transform, lousy teaching but Clutch had caught on fast. Then finally Raven, she surprisingly decided to let him into her room for the lessons.
"My powers are controlled by emotions, the more you feel the more energy is released, so try and keep calm and focused when you can help it." Clutch had started meditating to calm himeself and gather his energy to start the training. He had soon picked up how to use all instances her powers and after they were finished then they started to talk. "So, have you had a normal life until you met Robin?" asked Raven.
"My life was anything but normal because of my father, all he wanted was control, power, to rule, and he had asked me to join him but I had viewed his ideas differently than him so I refused and I left."
Clutch had got up and turned away from Raven, "Well I've had problems with my father in the past too and I'm afraid I will in the future."
Raven put her hand on his shoulder as he turned to face her, "Well I guess that makes two of us." Clutch was interrupted when the alarm rang, they both rushed to the operations room as a transmission started and on the screen appeared Slade. Everyone had their normal expression from seeing him but Clutch had an uneasy look and Raven seemed to notice.
They had arrived to the old stadium soon enough after Slade had told them to go there. There came a big screen where Slade had appeared once more, "Hello again Titans, I see that you have a new member on your tem let's just see how well he does against me as his first villain," a blaster appeared and trapped all the Titans in a containment field except Clutch. About a few dozen of Slade's commandoes had appeared as well as Slade himself, he spoke to Clutch with pure truth in his voice , "Well it looks like we have a little family reunion well let's see who's the stronger family member, son."
All the Titans were speechless, but Clutch remained in his mood of what had looked like confidence as if Slade's words didn't mean anything. He fought all the drones going through each of their abilities and scraping through all of the commandoes and finally Slade is left.
"Well it was nice to see you again my son, but I was only here to be an observer so I must be going," and before they can do anything, Slade had disappeared and the Titans were freed.
Later at the tower Clutch explained the story to them like he did to Raven. "Clutch we don't care that Slade is your father, you're our friend and a Titan, and that's good enough for us." Later Raven went to talk to Clutch, "It looks like we are not so different after all." He took Raven's hand, "I feel like I understand you more than anyone else I know."
Raven looked happy and a little confused, "So what do we do now?"
They walk outside Raven's room, "We have our whole lives ahead of us we can't control what lies ahead in the future." She hugged him and went into her room and exchanged goodnights. Raven is feeling something she hasn't felt before, she is feeling love for the first time.
