POP Goes The Weasle!
Disclaimer- I do not own the Teen Titans, X-men, or any other characters from any other show I might decide to use in the near future.
But I do own Maniac and anyone else from ASAP
At the Xavier Institute everything seemed calm. School was almost over and summer was coming near. So of course they were adopting a new student. Said so on the intercom. 'New student coming today.' Not many cared but for those few that did- well you could guess who they are.
"Za new student?" Kurt questioned joyfully.
"That's right Kurt. You are no longer the newbie," Kitty said with equal enjoyment.
"I shall be his guide and show him all around the mansion just the way I was shown. I shall become his new best friend and help him until another new student arrives."
"That's very kind of you Kurt," Bobby said ignorantly.
"Can we stop using big words and proper English?" Rogue said sharply.
"Look a car has pulled up!" Kurt exclaimed.
"A robotic man is getting out!" Bobby screamed.
"And opening ze back door?" Kurt asked.
"Four others are getting out!" Bobby announced.
"But only one is being hugged and has a bag," Kurt said sadly.
"But it's a girl- and she has a hot bod," Bobby said slyly.
For that Rogue conked him up side the head.
"But zat means zat I am still ze newest boy!" Kurt exclaimed. The car drove away leaving the girl behind with 2 boxes and a backpack.
"We should help her settle in and tell the Professor," Kitty said happily.
"I shall help," Kurt said brightly.
"Whatever," Rogue said in a monotone voice.
Kurt smiled and tugged at his watch. Pushing one button he was able to turn to a normal human instead of a blue demon (I have writers block!) and teleported outside.
The girl jumped slightly at seeing him. Straightening up she ignored him and pulled her boxes along with her using black aura. Surrounding both boxes she slid across the ground and pushed forwards into the institute.
Kurt watched in disbelief. She totally ignored him! He was the only one that had come to help and she ignored him. But then again most of the new students were very shy.
"Zey! Do you need help with your bags?" Kurt cried.
The girl still ignored him and he raced to catch up with her. Picking up a box out of the air he lugged it into the mansion for her and set it down by the stairs. "Ze professor should be here any minute. I'm Kurt and I zall be your guide!" he said enthusiastically (I SPELT IT RIGHT!).
The girl still didn't answer.
"New girl? Vat's your name, I cannot keep callingz you new girl," Kurt questioned curiously.
The girl was quiet. Her hair was short around her shoulders with a dark shade of purple. Wearing blue jeans and a black sweater she stared blankly at her blue boots. She gripped her black backpack straps and stayed still. "Raven," she said quickly. "My names Raven from the Teen Titans. Happy?"
"Really? I've never heard of ze Teen Titans. Are zey like a small hero group? Or just a club of friends? Or- vat's your powers?"
Raven looked at him with her violet eyes.
"Zat's okay- ven I first got here I was so shy I hid under the table at dinner," Kurt said calmly.
Raven gave him a quizzical look.
"But I was zoon comfortable here because I learned zat everyone here was just like me."
"I doubt that anyone is like me," Raven mumbled.
"Zey may not have your powers but zere are still people zat can move things with zeir mind. Like Jean. I can teleport."
Kurt disappeared in a seal of blue smoke and appeared hanging from the chandelier.
"I'm ze only one so far that can teleport."
Raven sat down on her box and stared at her shoes.
"Ah Raven."
Professor Xavier rolled into the foyer in his wheel chair smiling. "Why don't we get you situated and then Night Crawler here can show you around?"
Kurt smiled at the professor saying his hero name.
"Kurt could you have Bobby drop Raven's boxes off at her room."
"Alright," Kurt said defeated.
…
Raven sat in the Professors office with her backpack in her lap as she leaned into the leather couch.
"So Raven- your friends tell me that you are having so stress problems and are having trouble controlling your powers."
"That's not true. I'm fine. I don't need to be here."
"Magneto what do you think?"
The man said nothing.
"Look I'm not a science project. If you need a second opinion on me than it doesn't matter. I'll leave. I'm not going to have everyone and their mothers brother staring at me!" Raven's eyes turned white in anger.
The room was surrounded in black aura. Magneto smirked. "Yes, I like this girl. She is very strong."
"Strong yes, I see where she needs help."
Raven became even angrier. She wasn't something at the zoo! Was she only here to amaze people? Crazed fans had done that before. Just started ganging up on her to see how far they could push before she cracked.
Calm down. Calm down. You're going to hurt someone.
But I'm not a toy. I'm not going to let people push me around and tell me what to do. I'm not hurting anyone so why do they want to keep pushing?
No, you're not. And you shouldn't be treated as such. But they are here to help. Just look at Kurt- he looks like he's able to control his powers. Everyone here has to have been a science project at least once here- you're fine.
But I just don't want to be here. Why am I always the one to be dropped off places? Therapy- yoga- oil change for Cyborg's car. Half of those aren't even mine. How do I know that this is legit?
"It's alright, we understand that this is awkward."
"Just a little," Raven said sarcastically.
"Well it's almost time for dinner. And I suppose Kurt is waiting to show you around. He showed up here just 2 weeks ago. He is really nice but you have to understand that he doesn't understand what's going on."
Raven immediately left the awkward position and closed the door on her way out.
"I like her," Magneto repeated.
"She will be a fine addition to the team. The students will love her I know it."
"I don't care about that. I feel the dark presence in her. She is very strong like her father."
…
Raven found her belongings by a door marked Raven. At least the Titans got 1 thing right. Her own room. Sliding it open she found it to be a janitors closet. It wasn't the greatest place ever- but it would do. The floor was just a mattress- probably for her meditation. Fuzzy blue sheets and pillows were scattered on the floor. The walls were painted a deep haze of turquoise with lines of shelves. A pole hung between a shelf and a wall meant for Raven's shirts and drawers were located next to it. A mini fridge was set on a shelf in the corner next to the light switch.
The ceiling was only 4 inches taller than her- considering she was only 5'2 that wasn't much. Sighing she opened her first box and began setting her books on the shelves. That task proved to take the longest. Next she hung her street shirts on the rack and put her pants and unmentionables in the drawers. Last she set her boom box on the shelf next to the fridge and put the box containing Malchior's book in her underwear drawer. If anyone went rummaging in there they would either die from Malchior or Raven.
And finally she locked the sliding door and lied down for a quick nap.
…
Kurt knocked on Raven's door 20 minutes later.
There was a groan and Raven slid her door open. Rubbing her eyes she yawned.
"Time for dinner?" Kurt said hoping he hadn't disturbed her.
She nodded and followed him down to the dining room.
Raven walked down to the far end of the table away from everyone else and opened a book, not bothering to get anything to eat. Kurt sat down with her, making her move again. Kitty moved behind Kurt and started at Raven. "Not very friendly is she?"
"Her team just dropped her off her for no apparent reason. I wouldn't want any friends right now either," Bobby stated.
"You know this how?" Rogue remarked.
"Listened outside the door."
"Oh."
"I'm going to go talk to her and see if she'll make a conversation."
Kitty moved over to Raven and in less than 2 minutes Kitty ran back nearly screaming.
"What happened?" Rogue said surprised.
"I don't know. It was like fine. I was even about to sit down and like make small talk. I started asking where she was from and like talk about her home and parents and stuff and everything was like fine. But then I like asked about her dad and she freaked out on me."
"And there lies the problem," Rogue said sarcastically.
"Something's wrong. You don't suppose that her dad like, beats her do you?"
"I don't know. He might be the one she got her powers from. That's why he can hurt her."
"I'll like go talk to her again."
"To late she's gone," Bobby pointed out.
"Ze didn't eat anything either," Kurt said stunned.
Rogue stared at Raven's chair for a minute. "I don't like this kid. She seems a little to different for her own good."
"Well we aren't exactly normal either," Bobby said smoothly.
"It's not that. I'm getting the feeling that she's not a mutant- but a demon."
"Demon? Demon's are ugly. Raven is pretty," Kitty said preppy.
"Anorexic even."
"She said she vas apart of a team called ze Teen Titans."
"Never heard of them," Bobby stated
"I have. They're a group of 5 teenagers that fight other super powered people in Jump City. They're supposedly crime fighters and heroes where they're from. But I don't buy it," Rogue remarked.
"Vy not? If zey save people zan vy do you not trust her?"
"I just get a really bad feeling about her Kurt."
"Ze professor trusts her so so do I."
"The professor also trust Magneto after he tried to kill us. The professor isn't always right."
"Vell I zink he is about Raven."
"Kurt I don't want you messing with that girl. She's bad news."
"You cannot tell me vat you do."
"Get it through you fat head that this girl isn't the best thing since sliced bread. I don't like her," Rogue went on.
Kurt had already left though and headed for Raven's room.
When there he pressed his ear to the door to see if she was in there.
"Robin how could you do this to me?"
'We were just trying to help Raven. Ever since the fall of your father you've just seemed different and more tense.'
"What am I supposed to do? Everything I know doesn't apply to my life anymore. I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do."
'We understand that Rae and that's why we called the professor. He specializes in these kind of situations. He can totally help you adjust."
"There's just too many other people here. And their asking me all the questions I hoped they wouldn't. If they keep pressing on the father button I'm going to self destruct and then an angry mob is going to form."
'Just make up something.'
"That may work for you Robin but I'm feel like I'm going to explode. I feel like I'm just some stupid science project for this whole place. The professor and some guy named Magneto keep saying how interesting I am and if the other has a theory on me. I not staying here Robin."
'Give it a day or so. If you still feel that way after about a week we'll come and pick you up.'
"Fine. But I can assure you that my mind isn't going to change."
'Alright then see you in a week?'
"Yeah- bye."
Kurt then heard the doorknob turning and in a panic, teleported to a nearby chandelier. Raven came out into the hall with her sweater's hood up. Sending a glance down both sides of the hall, she fazed through the floor and like a shadow shot up into the ceiling.
"Zat is very impressive, and interesting." Kurt descended his gaze to the ceiling and teleported to the floor above. Raven was nowhere in sight. Sighing Kurt kept teleporting floor to floor until he was on the roof. The breeze was light against his skin as he searched for Raven.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."
It was a faint whisper in the distance, but Kurt could hear it clearly. Looking over the edge of the roof he saw a small figure huddled on the side of the pool. Quickly teleporting himself to a bush near the pool, Kurt squatted down and listened closely.
The words rang again and a rock shot across the water. Landing in a bush on the other side the figure stood and began removing their clothes. Kurt was stunned as the figure slipped into the pool with nothing but a bikini on. His eyes wide, Night Crawler fell backwards, his heart thumping wildly against his chest, his cheeks flushed a violent red.
'Raven!'
The figure swam back to the edge of the pool and pulled a round object from their pocket.
'Raven you there?'
Kurt's jaw dropped. 'Did I just watch- That was- And she was in- She is hot!'
"I'm here Maniac."
'Girl I told you to call me at 8:00. It's 9:30!'
"Look I got caught up. Everyone here is insane. They've just been popping one question after another. Then Robin called-"
'Oh, him again. Well did he apologize for dropping you off there?'
Kurt noticed how Maniac put and extreme emphasis on there. He raised his eyebrow.
(P.S. If you don't know who Maniac is just go to my name- it's the thing in blue- and go see me profile. I've got at least 100 stories on her. Okay that was and exaggeration. Maybe more like 10 or so. A/n here's the story.)
"Sorta," Raven said slowly. "I know they think they did what was best for me, but the titans just don't understand."
'Yah! Your whole life has been turned around in a blink of an eye. You can use emotions without blowing stuff up. You don't have to worry bout Trigon no more. Pluto's not a planet! And blueberry ice cream isn't real! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE! PLUTO!' Maniac cried exasperated.
"Shh. Maniac, someone may hear."
'So?'
"So? I'm not exactly everyone's favorite and right now I'm in a swimming pool wearing a bikini. That would be a little awkward don't you think?"
'Not unless it's a hot guy. I mean you are chillin with the X-men here.'
"Maniac," Raven said softly.
'Meet any cute guys yet?'
"Maniac," Raven said a little louder.
'Tell me when I get to the letter his name starts with. A B C D E F G H I J K-'"Maniac!" Raven said in her normal tone.
'Alright it's K. Um- Kitty? No she's a girl- what am I thinking? Hello Maniac what are you thinking? Unless you like girls then-'
"Maniac," Raven growled.
'It is Kitty?'"No!"
'No, it's not Kitty there's someone else? Or no, there isn't anyone I think is hot so I better drop it. No answer's please I'm gonna continue anyway.'
Wait a minute- his name started with K. Did that mean Raven liked him? Kurt smiled hopefully to himself and kept listening. Hopefully this Maniac character would get the answer out of Raven sooner or later.
'Let's see, who else's name starts with K? Hmm.'
"If I just tell you will you shut up about it?"
'Maybe.'
Raven sighed and mumbled something into the device.
Maniac's voice rang out a second later in surprise. 'KURT? THAT NIGHT CRAWLER KID?'
"Shh," Raven hissed.
Maniac's voice fell. 'Oh, ho, ho. Got to tell Greg this.'
"Maniac!"
'Fine, be that way.'
Kurt's blush grew through out his whole body as he teleported to his room in a dazed form.
'Okay, now that he's gone- let's talk bout how cute that Bobby kid is,' Maniac said dreamily.
Raven rolled her eyes in sighed. This wasn't going to be an easy week.
