AN: The Bean Titans Adventures continues. Just... not in this story, as this is one of the fillers. This takes place soon after Part 3 of BTA.
As usual, feel free to browse through the stories I have already created and provided for you. The text styles in the story are the same as always (Bold + Italic = actions or sound effects — Bold, ALL CAPS, or both = emphasis — Underlined = introductions — Italic = thoughts/feelings, reminders of flashbacks/flash-forwards, or mental transmission with a psychic).
Enjoy!
~Three Years Time~
Chapter 1 — Free Time?
The Bean Titans have reached a state of quiet chaos. The Acolytes seem to be their worst nightmare, as they have already seriously hurt Durango, Tina, Mina, Thunderbolt and Ears since last week. The five of them are healing; knowing this, the Legendary 12 try and think about their next course of action. It was a difficult thing to do, as the Bean Titans are always in the growth process—aiming to evolve and get better every step of the way. Regardless, they would never know when any of their enemies would attack.
Fortunately, the Titans are in luck. Mystic had thought about using her crystal ball to eavesdrop on Wrinkle's plans. She focused her mind enough to view an image of Wrinkle at the current time. He was at his base, about to make an announcement to his syndicate. Mystic listened intently.
"Before I make my announcement," Wrinkle began, "I would like to welcome Chocolate to our team and our cause." The group welcomes her. Wrinkle continues: "As you all may already know, we have succeeded in our deal with the Acolytes: they will grant us more power, thanks to our immortality accomplishment."
Chocolate raised her hand. Wrinkle acknowledged her. "What about me?" she asked.
"You have it as well. You were given the gift as you sided with us."
"Okay, I understand."
"Good. Now, on to the point... even though it would be unorthodox, I feel that we should give the Titans some time to themselves for awhile. There's no way that they can get rid of us, and soon, they'll be weak... so what's the point in wasting our time with them now? I say that we give them... say, 3 years to do whatever they please, as long as they don't bother us."
There were no arguments to his announcement. They were ready to have a break as well.
"I don't believe this..." Mystic murmured, before rushing off to find Sweet, to tell him the news. She soon found him in his office in the Facility. Sweet jumped when Mystic had forced the door open.
"I'm guessing that you didn't have any image problems with your butt, didn't you?" Sweet asked.
"Save it." Mystic replied flatly, sitting down. "Good news..."
"What?"
"Wrinkle's giving us three years off!"
"No way... you're joking, right?" Sweet said.
"I looked at the crystal ball myself, Sweet. Everything I see or hear is true."
Sweet paused and pondered on this. "Three years... that's a bit much, isn't it?"
"I know, but we need as much time as possible at this point. Who knows? Our enemies—all of them—could destroy us if we aren't ready."
"Good point. All right... we'll use this time to our advantage. Even though we'll always have free time, this is gonna take all of the Bean Titans' participation."

Finally! The Bean Titans get a chance to relax... or DO THEY?
Chapter 2 is coming up.
(HINT: The last sentence, where it says "all of the Bean Titans participation", means that I finally get to go through some of the times of various Bean Titans, which are mostly made up of youth members.)
