(A/N: Okay... this is the result of watching way too much x-men probably... but I've always thought: what if there was some sort of group out to abolish the titans? I mean, there's always haters for anything... so this fanfic was born.)
'Gotta run...' a smaller teenager was running like the devil was chasing her (and he may have been) on the docks. Searching for a boat, any way to get the the Titan's tower. She had to tell them what was going on.
"There it is! Kill it!" She swore and scanned the docks again. Everything was against her. It was storming, none of the boats seemed to be in easy reach, and those people wanted her dead.
She scanned the docks again. As if an angel had heard her prayers, a small boat was a quick dash ahead. Abandoning her hideout, she ran out and leaped into the boat. Then she heard a bang that wasn't thunder... and something tore through her shoulder.
"Did you kill it?" "Can't tell... it must've fallen into the water." Thanking whatever lucky stars she had left, she found the keys under the seat and turned on the boat. "What was that?" Swearing, she turned the boat out of the harbor and hit the gas, heading straight for the tower, attempting to ignore the tearing pain in her shoulder.
~~~~~~Line break means that time has past~~~~~~~~
Beast Boy couldn't sleep. The thunder was loud, and it hadn't helped that Cyborg had accidentally given him a caffeinated soda at dinner. Luckily, he wasn't hyper anymore, but it was still keeping him up. He had headed to the kitchen in hope that he could get some midnight tofu snack. Beast Boy had turned the corner and ran right into another person.
"Waaah!" He yelped and jumped back. "Beast Boy, its me. What are you doing up?" It was Raven. "Oh... sorry Raven. I didn't wake you did I?" He said, slightly blushed. "I was already up." She passed him and went into the kitchen. Beast Boy followed her and sat at the counter. "Thunder kept you up too, huh?" Raven nodded and began to heat up the water.
Beast Boy headed to the fridge and found his favorite tofu meat. "So... Rae... whats up?" Raven look up from the boiling water. "What?" Beast Boy grabbed the proper sandwich makings and headed for a counter. "Um... its just that we don't talk a lot and I wanna know what's up with you." Raven smirked for a second and poured the water into a cup. "Not a lot considering that crime rate has been low lately."
Raven then slowly asked, "What have you been doing?" Beast Boy perked up and said, "Oh, not much. Just working out, gotta keep up these muscles!" He flexed mischievously. Raven rolled her eyes and began drinking her tea. Beast Boy looked down and mentally scolded himself. 'Just ask her already!' He thought. "So... um... if you aren't doing anything this Friday... could we..." Beast Boy never finished his sentence.
KA-BLANG! Something sounded like it exploded outside. "What was that?" Beast Boy said, after he jumped half a foot. "It sounds like... a boat hit something." Raven ran towards the door, Beast Boy a step behind her.
Raven opened the door and just barely caught a stumbling teenager. "Beast Boy, help me!" Raven yelped. Beast Boy helped Raven hold the girl. She was about Raven's height and was rather scrawny. She had short blonde hair that barely reached her ears. It would've been hard to tell she was a girl if her tan tee-shirt hadn't been plastered to her with water and... "Raven, she's bleeding!" Beast Boy said shocked.
"I know. I felt her panicked psyche. I think she's been shot." Raven said. "What's going on?" Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg had just arrived. "I don't know." Beast Boy said.
At that moment, the teen's eyes opened and she looked at Robin. "Help... my backpack's in the boat... get it." Then she fully passed out.
"She'll be fine. Its amazing. The bullet didn't pierce anything vital but it probably hurt like hell." Cyborg said. They had taken the small teen to the infirmary. "Perhaps... we should see what is in this bag." Starfire said, nodding at the navy blue bag. Robin had luckily retrieved the bag, undamaged, from the wreckage of the boat.
"Probably, but we should wait until she wakes up. I don't know what we should be looking at." Robin said.
"You should've looked, Bird-boy." The small teen opened her eyes. Robin raised his eyebrows. "Lets just say I'm a bit more curious is why your here." She slowly sat up and grimaced. "The camera would've solved that. Can someone hand me the bag?" Starfire picked up the bag and slowly set it down on her lap. "Here you go. Tell me, what is your name?" Starfire said. "Its Vega. Please tell me that the camera is still in one piece..."
Vega hissed and pulled out a digital camera. The lenses was completely smashed. "Dang it! Well, memory card is in one piece." She handed the card to Starfire. "Here. There's only one video on it... just got it. Man, its totally trashed too." Robin took the card from Starfire and plugged into a nearby laptop.
"Before I hit play, can you give me an idea of what's on it?" Robin asked, still slightly suspicious of Vega. "Can't think of a way to describe it. Just too creepy." Vega said, attempting to shrug and wincing in the process.
Robin clicked the video and the screen went black. Then the video began. It looked like it was in a large building filled with chairs... and a LOT of people. A man with a shaved head and angry piercing blue eyes was on a podium. "Friends! We are in an age where we are in constant danger. An age where we are protected by 'people' that can- and have- killed and harmed thousands. These people-" He clicked a small remote and a screen appeared behind him- "Are the Teen Titans." Lots of angry yells could be heard.
"We are being 'protected' by a bunch of teenagers! And most of them aren't even human!" Starfire glared at the screen. "Just because we are young we are not able to take care of the city? That makes no sense. And our non-human abilities is what aid us." "We know Star, he's just being a racist bastard." Robin said, although it looked like he was pretty pissed too.
"One of them was even instrumental in attempting to end the earth!" The screen changed to a picture of Raven. A piece pf machinery was surrounded by dark energy and crushed. "Raven, you okay?" Beast Boy said worryingly. "I'm fine." Her face was the picture of perfect calm, but her eyes said different.
"It is my- no, OUR responsibility to make sure these 'heroes' go back to where they belong!" He yelled, slamming the podium with his hands. The crowd cheered. "But these aren't the only ones who need to be removed. The super-villains," It clicked to a picture of the current Hive Five, "And even those CLAIMING to be civilians are around us. It is up to us to make the world pure!"
Then the clip ended. "I had to take off after that. I think the guy's name is Caleb White. Before I had started recording, he was mainly just explaining why he was so strong in his cause. His wife was accidentally killed when the mall blew up last year... even though you guys nearly ended up getting killed too rescuing people." Vega explained. "Why'd you have to take off?" Robin said. "I lost my temper... and well..." Vega lifted up her hand and unsheathed her claws. "I was pretty sure someone would notice..."
Robin highered his eyebrows. "Well... it makes sense why you had risked your life to get this information to us." He said. "And it makes sense why the bone in your fingers looked off." Cyborg said, gesturing toward an X-ray. "Had to do it, you weren't in very good shape." Vega nodded. "I get it."
Robin rubbed his forehead. This was something he had been fearing for quite a long time. They had dealt with the occasional hate group, but nothing this major. No one had mentioned it aloud, but they had noticed cops, judges, and Robin could've sworn he had seen some government officials. "Titans, I'm going to the Ops. Room."
"Calling all Titans." Robin was next to the big screen. "You DO realize what time it is, right, Robin?" Titans East was the first to report. Bumblebee's hair was down, and she looked pretty pissed. "Sí, estábamos durmiendo." (Yes, we were sleeping.) Mas n Menos said. (AN: If that is really off, I'm using Google Translate. So sue me!)
"We were awake, so it is no trouble for Thunder and Lightning." Lightning said, and Thunder was in the background. "So... your the reason I was awake at... 3:34 A.M?" Raven had walked out with Beast Boy. "Uh..." Thunder looked away, attempting to look innocent. Beast Boy walked out with Starfire. "This better be a good reason..." Hotspot was in his powered down state, and he looked downright pissed. "I was kinda in the middle of something." "I have to agree there." Argent said, with a definite bedhead look.
"Look, I'll explain when everyone gets on. I don't wanna explain it twice." "You COULD just show them the video." Robin turned around and glared at Vega. "Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Vega shrugged and said, "I'm fine. Raven mostly healed me up, and bed rest is boring." "Robin, we're here. Gnarrk is busy though." Kole said, waving. "Hey, who's the new girl?" "I'm Vega. You're Kole, right?" Vega said, smiling at the smaller pink girl.
Jericho waved at the screen. He had obviously just been sleeping, but he was trying not to show it. "Hi there, is this important?" Kid Flash said. "I was on a date." "Shut it, Flash." Jinx said, smacking Kid Flash over the head. "Ow! Jinx... that isn't very nice." "He wouldn't called if it wasn't important!" Jinx snapped.
"Take it easy Titans. We only have a couple more people." Kilowatt and Bushido popped on the screen. "That means we're only missing... Pantha and Herald." "I'm here." Pantha said. "There's a match tomorrow, Robin. I was trying to get some rest." "Sorry Pantha." Robin said. "What? Oh, sorry Robin." Herald looked a bit over-pissed.
"Guys, this is important. I'll just play the clip." Robin said, taking the chip from Vega. "At least go sit down, Vega." He said. "Fine." "Who is that, anyway? Is she some new titan?" Speedy said, attempting to comb down his hair, which was surprisingly messy. "Heck no!" Vega said, looking horrified.
All the titans glanced over at her. "Uh... no offense... but I'm not the 'hero' type." Vega said, looking down. "Whatever, just start the damn clip!" Jinx said.
~~~~~~~~Line break means that time has passed!~~~~~~~~~~
When the clip ended, all the titans were silent. Then everyone began talking (or signing.)
"What the hell!" (Argent and Jinx.)
"That's just sick and wrong." (Bumblebee.)
"¿Es esto real!" (Mas n Menos, the translation is: Is this for real?)
"Are we going to be okay?" (Jericho, he was signing.)
Robin waited for a couple seconds before trying to get them to calm down. "Guys, please calm down... guys?" Cyborg waited for this for a second, before finally yelling, "SHUT UP!" Everyone immediately quieted down. "Thanks Cyborg. What I need to know is if you've heard of any group that has done anything like this."
It had been a couple hours before they got the whole story. Titan's East had a couple of rumors and recently a human that had animalistic characteristics had been found murdered. Hotspot had recalled that when he was out last week that he had seen some violence.
Then Jericho signed that he had seen some odd things, people following him and attempting to harm him. He said he would ask a contact about it. He signed off after that.
"Alright, I'll call again tonight when we have a plan of action." Robin said. "Titans West out." The screen went blank. "Hey look, Vega's asleep." Beast Boy said, snickering. "I heard that. My senses are heightened you moron." Vega grumbled, still not opening her eyes. Beast Boy backed off. "Titans, go back to bed. We're going to be doing a lot of investigating tomorrow. And Vega..."
Vega opened one light brown eye and glared at the titan leader. Robin sighed and said, "Need a blanket?" "Nah, I'm cool. Now shut up, I'm sleeping." Vega said, and closed her eye again.
All the titans headed up to their rooms, Beast Boy being the last. Before he fell asleep, he remembered he didn't ask out Raven yet. 'Dang it...'
(Yes! Got the first chapter ready! Yes, I know the translations are probably hideously off... I speak English and English alone! Remember to review!)
