This isn't the same town anymore.

A news anchor flashed onto the tv screen, a solemn look on his face, "It has been almost a year since the Teen Titans disappeared, and citizens are starting to give up hope that they will ever return. Crime rates have risen to new heights in Jump City, and it is likely to increase so in the next year." He shuffled papers in his hands and began again. "Tourism rates have dropped sufficiently since. Where are our hero's when we need them?"

They left in our time of need.

A large statue stood in the town, and upon inspection, five figures made it up. A plague underneath it read, "The Teen Titans: Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire." It was the towns most prized possession.

Was.

Now, it had been graphitized, parts had broken or rusted off, and litter scattered around it, as if the new sport was throwing garbage at it.

Or maybe we always were.

A woman in a grey hoodie, the hood covering her head, dark blue jeans with large knee holes ripped into them, and black and white checkered shoes walked down an alley way, whistling. The noise had attracted three males with devious smiles on their faces, which she hadn't noticed. She was on her gamble back some money a friend had lost.

One of the men caught up to her, and forcefully slung his arms around her waist. He body tensed, she could smell the alcohol in his breath, and started flailing, trying to wriggle free of his grasp. The other two tried to hold her arms down, but couldn't get a good enough grip on them.

After a minute or so, she finally broke free and began sprinting, the men following close behind. Too bad she didn't know this area all that well, for she was soon met with a dead end. The woman turned around to see that the men had already turned down this way.

She took a deep breath, and said to herself, "You'll have to use it, just this once."

As they were five feet in front of her, she reached into her hoodie pocket, only to draw out a single blank playing card, and hold it out in front of her. As the men got within touching distance, she yelled out "Three of Clubs" Three clubs flashed onto the card before it transformed into a long, wooden baseball bat.

The men froze while it happened, trying to register it in their brains. This gave her the chance to swing at the middle guys head, knocking him out cold. The other two ran at the site of their fallen comrade. She chased them, eventually catching up, and knocking them out as well. She dragged them over to the first guy, and laid them all down. After making sure they wouldn't wake up soon, she let her hood down to reveal her long, dark brown hair, bangs that swept to the left, and big brown eyes that went well with her mocha colored skin. She slung the baseball bat over her shoulder, then walked out of the alley.

Maybe we'll be okay without them.

A/N: So, I'm starting a Teen Titans fic, which I got the inspiration after reading "The Reluctant Hero's". I'm not sure who it's by, and I've only read the first chapter once. But it gave me enough will to start this. Whoop.

This is a submit your own character, and I'm going to need like five to six hero's to be on the team with the girl stated above, 18 vigilantes, 7-8 major villains, and 10-12 Minor villains. I want to make this a reealllyyy long story, and you know, I might do something special for some vigilantes that I favor, and I have something in plan for minor villains as well, so do not get discouraged if your put in those categories.

And, don't worry, my chapters will be much longer than that one. I just had the inspiration, but couldn't do all that much without more than one character. This will not go on the "First Come First Serve" basis, I want to be impressed people! Think hard, and I'll be making a careful decision on who is put where.

Oh, and no relatives of the Teen Titans. Please.

Edit: I am no longer accepting female team members, it was a very hard decision, but most of the ones that didn't make it into the Team Members are Vigilantes. I am in desperate need of boys though, and villains, both major and Minor in either gender.

I'm still in the decisions of who exactly to accept, so this isn't exact, but there have been Eight girls accepted, and six guys. There are two Male team member spots, 7 male vigilantes, five female vigilantes, two male major villains, three female major villains, five male minor villians, and four female minor villains.

Remember that some Vigilantes will be put into something special, as will some minor villains, so don't be discouraged if your character is put into that section.
