Author's Note: I'm BACK! And I'm here with the first chapter of the sequel to "Why Sues Have No Place as Titans." I hope y'all enjoy it. And by the way, translations of Más and Menos' dialogue will be at the end (and I hope the Spanish is accurate--I'm using an online translator).
Chapter One: Not Another Sue!
It had been exactly six months since the Titans defeated the Brotherhood of Evil, and Aqualad, Speedy, Más, and Menos had, after hours of pestering, convinced Bumblebee to have a big party in the Titans East Tower. If Bumblebee had the foresight to know what was going to happened that night, she would not have eventually agreed to the others' demands.
By seven o'clock in the evening, all the Titans and honorary Titans were arriving. And I'm sure it was a fun party (nothing particularly mind-scarring had happened yet), but that is not the focus of our story, so let's skip to four hours later.
"Señorita Bumblebee, mira lo que Menos y que he encontrado!" Más said to Bumblebee and they, Menos, Speedy, Aqualad, and the remaining party guests (said remaining guests being the Titans stationed on the West coast and Kole, Kid Flash, Jericho, and Jinx) were hanging around the common room.
What Más and Menos had found (and no one knew where) was a book. A pink book with pale pink lace all around the edges and words made from shiny purple sequins on the cover.
Bumblebee took the book from Más and read out loud what the cover said.
Eternul Luv Shining Lyke teh Sea by PrettyGal96
The leader of Titans East simply stared at what she had just read. "Interesting spelling," was all Bumblebee managed to say.
"What is?" Cyborg asked, coming over to join the conversation.
Bumblebee let Cyborg have the book, and when he glanced at it, he dropped the book to the floor as though it had hurt to touch it.
Cyborg groaned. "Another one of those things? Robin's gonna love this."
Before Bumblebee could ask Cyborg what he meant, Robin walked over, asking, "Robin's gonna love what?"
Wordlessly, Cyborg pointed to the ground, and when Robin saw the pink book, he screamed, attracting the attention of everyone else in the room. The Boy Wonder would have bolted out of there if Cyborg hadn't chosen that moment to grab him and put him in a headlock.
Menos exchanged a confused glance with his brother. "¿Por qué es Robin actuando como un loco?" he asked.
"I can answer that," Raven said, stepping forward. "Some time ago, we," she gestured towards her teammates and the four honorary Titans present, "were subjected to a sorry excuse of a book looking similar to that one. It was a Mary Sue fanfiction, and I suggest you don't read that book unless you want to spend the next few months getting to know a therapist."
"What's a Mary Sue?" Aqualad wanted to know.
Several voices spoke at once.
"The Mary Sue is a most horrendous creature!" Starfire cried out.
"They think they're the best thing since the invention of money," Jinx said.
"They can die, but they'll just come back to life!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"They have no shame in screwing with bloodlines!" Jericho signed.
"They think they're prettier than Starfire," Kole added ("¿Cómo es eso posible?" Más wondered out loud).
"They claim they're faster than the speed of light!" Kid Flash complained.
Raven sighed. "In short," she said, "Mary Sues are supposed to be all-around perfect. They are beautiful, super powerful, have everything revolve around them, and more often than not, they usually hook up with Robin here."
Speaking of Robin, he was struggling against Cyborg's grip.
"Let me go!" Robin gasped. "I swear I won't do anything."
Cyborg shrugged, then released Robin from the headlock. Less than a second passed before Robin yelled, "Titans! Don't just stand there! GET TO THE DOOR!"
But before any of the Titans who had previously been tortured by a Sue could carry out Robin's order, Kid Flash zipped out of the room. About three seconds later, Kid Flash was back, and a Tower lockdown began. Metal sheets appeared in front of all the windows and the door, making escape impossible.
Everyone looked at Kid Flash in disbelief and anger. The speedster just smiled devilishly.
"Have fun, not!" And with that, Kid Flash's body began to vibrate, and he backed up to the nearest wall and passed through it out of sight.
Needless to say, no one was very happy.
"Kid Flash!" Jinx shrieked. "You get back here RIGHT NOW!"
"Damn you, coward!" Jericho signed angrily at the wall.
"NOOOOO!" Robin screamed.
"So," Speedy began hesitantly, gingerly lifting the book up from the floor, "are we reading this?"
The eight guests all glared at the archer.
"Are you insane?" Robin burst out, speaking for the group. "For one thing, that thing is PINK! Nothing good comes from pink! And another thing is that most of the words in the title are misspelled! How the heck can you misspell 'the'? It's THREE LETTERS!"
There was a short pause.
"Creo que debemos leerlo," Menos said.
"Si," Más agreed. "Menos y lo encontré, así que debemos leerlo. Además, nos van a quedarse aquí por un rato."
So it was with great reluctance (and a huge vibe of déjà vu) that Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, Kole, Jericho, and Jinx settled on the common room's couch with the Titans East.
"If I have to go to therapy again..." Robin grumbled.
Author's Note: And that's the end of the chapter! The next one should be up soon.
