Hello reader! That is, if there is anyone even left in this fandom. Oh well. Maybe someday, someone will read this. Please read and review if you could, I would greatly appreciate it, as this is my first fanfiction. Let me know if anyone seems a bit OOC. :P I also apologize if there are any errors, I proofread, but some slip past me. So, without further ado, let's get on with the first chapter! (sorry if it's short, it's kind of a test, ya know, to see if people like it)
Sincerely, lilicat
Disclaimer: As much as I would like it, I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, it would still be on TV.
Sunlight, forced its way through my room, reaching my closed eyes. I continued to ignore the warm rays until I could bear it no longer. Now, it was almost 11:00. This was my routine, every day. Most people, even my friends, thought that I simply slept in late, but in reality, I was woken up at dawn and just relaxed until a later hour.
I sat up, my acute sense of hearing picking up the crackling of bacon. Leaving my room, I walked to the kitchen, bracing myself for a heated argument over tofu v.s. bacon.
"Good morning to you, friend Beast Boy!" Starfire warbled, a standard greeting for those who entered the kitchen in the morning.
"Good morning, Star." I replied as I opened the fridge, searching for some leftover tofu. Grabbing the container, I stood back up, and was instantly overpowered with a nauseating wave of dizziness. Wobbling slightly, I leaned against the fridge for support.
I needed to stay strong. Robin would have a fit if he discovered I couldn't go to training. Glancing around, I thankfully learned that everyone was busy doing their own things. Cyborg attending to his cooking bacon, Starfire indulging in an Earth magazine, Robin on the other side of the room practicing combat moves, and Raven was reading on the couch.
"Man, Cy. You really should cook up some tofu someday." I announced with a grin, despite my pain only a moment earlier. I was good at putting on masks. They never could tell how I truly felt.
"Tofu?! You gotta be kidding me BB! No way would I ever eat your disgusting meat imposter. Never gonna happen." Cyborg retorted as we began our daily battle.
I opened the container of tofu, and made a show of eating it, right in front of Cy. "Mmmm, delicious!"
"Will you two ever shut up?" A monotonous drawl voiced itself from the couch. "I'm trying to read."
"Relax, Rae." I told her. "And of course I'll shut up. Just as soon as Cy admits that tofu is better than bacon!"
Sighing, she set her book down and got up. "I'm going to meditate."
"Just make sure you're back in time for training, Raven. We're going through the obstacle course again, so don't be late." Robin called out after her.
After finishing up my meal of tofu, I wandered over to the couch to play video games. They were a great distraction from the pain of life. Picking up a controller and turning on the TV, my eyes were met with bright burst of light and a blaring fanfare from my game. Emitting a faint cry, I felt myself fall back onto the couch, my head throbbing and that wave of dizziness hit me again, this time harder.
The noise from my game seemed to alert Robin, and he promptly told us that it was time for training. Shutting off the TV, I stood up just in time to see Star fly out of the room. Must be going to get Raven.
As we headed to the training course, the dizzying nausea began to affect me again. I stopped, wavering. The light was fading. Was there going to be a storm?
Cyborg, who was behind me, apparently thought that my abrupt stop was another one of my jokes. Not noticing my weakened state and lifeless eyes, he playfully shoved me forwards. "Keep moving, B!"
Unable to keep myself upright, the push tipped me over and everything went black as the floor rushed towards me.
