Chapter 1: BOOM! Got Element?
"Aw yeah! Cyborg wins…again! BOO-YAH!" Cyborg yelled. It had been the third time since he had won and sitting beside him was the unhappy Beast Boy with an angered expression.
"DUDE! Can you at least let me try to win! You don't even give me a chance! You're too powerful! YOU ARE SO MEAN!" Beast Boy raged out so loud Raven jumped in the middle of her meditation.
"Could you please keep it down over there! Just a little respect is all I ask for from those idiots…"she muttered to herself.
"Alright, green butt. Let's play one more time and I'll even give little y'all a ten second start. Okay?" Cyborg said. Beast Boy's expression changed from anger to determination. He smiled slyly and then Cyborg put out his hand.
"So, BB…it's a deal!"
"You're on!"
They instantly grabbed their remotes and turned on the video game. They waited almost too impatiently for the game to start. Cyborg challenged his green buddy to rock, paper, scissors for the five minute wait. When finally the game had turned on.
"Woo hoo! It's time to kick…I mean, uh, play BB!" Cyborg added in quickly.
"Yeah! Go Beast Boy! Go Beast Boy! It's time to play-ay! Get funk-ay! Dun dun dun dun dun dunn dunnn! Can't stop this!" Beast Boy chanted as they began.
"Yo, man! Two things! One-I'm kicking your butt…and it's been only forty seconds. Second- It's 'Can't touch this' not 'Can't stop this'!"
"Dude! Don't ruin the moment!" Beast Boy yelled at him.
"Well if you hadn't-"
BOOM!
"YO! Who's dimmed the lights? BEAST BOY!"
"Hey dude! I'm sitting right here! It wasn't even me! Maybe Star missed the obstacle and hit a power chordy thingy or something!"
BOOM! BOOM!
Cyborg transforms from his mechanical arm to his sonic cannon. Beast Boy switches into a mouse and Raven stops her meditating to leave with Cyborg and Beast Boy. They turn to leave when all of a sudden they see a figure collide with the door.
"YOU STUPID GIANT SPIDERS! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! I'M A COMIN' DOWN ON A COUNTA THREE! ONE…TWO…THREEEEE! YEAAH!" they heard a girl scream.
"Umm…giant spiders? Shouldn't we be out there helping her out?" Raven asked Cyborg.
"Robin's way ahead of you. He's out there right now kicking giant spider butt with this cutie…" Cyborg added.
"Hey! Dude, that looks like Terra! Only with different colored hair…Whoa. Look at her go! You go girl!" Beast Boy shouted with his fists punching the air.
"Great…another Slade clone. Who wants to just kick her hard before we almost die again?" Raven asked sarcastically.
"C'mon, Raven! I mean, she'll probably kick more butt out of Slade if we get her to join our side instead of his!" Beast Boy pleaded.
"Looks like Robin's way ahead of you there, too. The spiders are down and he's shaking her hand", Cyborg finished.
"Another Titan? Yes! We can dominate evil better than ever now! Hey, what powers does she have, Cy?" Beast Boy asked.
"No idea. It kinda looked like she was using her hands the whole time"
"Great…another Robin! I mean, c'mon! Who needs another one!" Beast Boy muttered.
"Shh. He's coming with the girl", Raven whispered.
The door opened and walking side by side to Robin was a girl a little taller than Beast Boy with brown-blonde hair in a pony tail. She had bright blue eyes, long thin legs, a thin body, and some light red lip gloss on. She had tan skin, was wearing a white tank top and a white skirt with a bright pink ribbon tied into a bow around the waist instead of a belt. She wore white flip-flops and her nails were painted a light pink. She also wore medium-sized hoop earrings and had a necklace with a pink "E" on the silver chain. She was very beautiful and very well dressed—for a super.
"Oh, hello! My name is Starfire and-" Starfire started, but Beast Boy interrupted her.
"Hey! I'm Beast Boy! Do you think I'm funny?" Beast Boy asked with a smile.
"Well, yeah-" the girl started, but this time Cyborg interrupted her.
"Hey, little lady, the names Cyborg at your service. Would you like a drink?" Cyborg asked politely.
"Umm, what do you have?" she asked.
"We have milk, soy milk, tofu juice, orange juice, soda, water, Gatorade, and chocolate smoothies" Beast Boy replied.
"Well, gee, I think I'll have a—wait a second. Are you trying to fool me? Sorry, Titans, but I'm here for a huge assignment by the one and only, Bruce Wayne, also known as-" she once again tried to start and this time, surprisingly Robin interfered with her words.
"Batman…" he said slowly. Everyone except the girl looked at him suspiciously.
"Well, yeah. He wanted to see how his son was doing and he wanted to invite you to try out his new school for supers…for two weeks. It's not a boarding school for you guys, just for the real students. You will all be excused from class if you need to save your city. Surprisingly, good guys and bad guys all had their children attend the school. Bruce doesn't care though, but only the children are allowed into the school, not the parents. So, any questions, please, be free to ask", she said this as if she had told millions of people this today.
Beast Boy was the first to raise his hand.
"Beast Boy?" she asked.
"Three things. First, who are you? Second, where did the giant spiders come from? And third, who is this Bruce dude's son?"
"First two questions I can answer. My name is Element, and the giant spiders were the parents from the last home I had just visited to ask if the child wanted to attend. I think you know him. His name is Fang. Spider head, human body. He's really weird. Gotta tell you, I know him some other way, but that's personal and I can't tell you. I'm here for business for Bruce not trivial questions about myself. The third question Robin can answer for you. Robin?" she asked him.
"Bruce is my adopted father. My real parent's were killed", he answered quickly and quietly with his eyes on the ground. Starfire gasped and held Robin's arm.
"I feel the deep sadness that arrives in your body at the present time, Robin. For my parents have been killed also", she comforted him with tears in her eyes.
"Sorry, Robin. I didn't mean to bring it up…" Element started.
"It's okay, Element. Tell Bruce we'll come tomorrow…" he finished as he walked to the door with Starfire.
"Hey, guys. Don't tell him, but the school doesn't start for three days from now. Still let him go, I think he needs some time with Bruce, okay? You guys can hang with me. I'll give you the tour around the school and Bruce's city. Here's the address on this slip of paper. Don't forget to come. Oh, and here's my e-mail and my phone number, along with Bruce's. If you need to contact us, we'll always be by the phone. See you tomorrow, pack all that you need for two weeks. Bruce says he's sorry but he can't have you for over two weeks just in case some more students enter and he needs your rooms. He's booking them for the two weeks you'll be staying. Don't forget a bathing suit for every other day you're staying along with a towel, maybe goggles, and sun block. Oh yeah, and definitely a music player, CDs, a laptop, and games if you get bored during break time after school and we use it for classes, too. Bruce won't allow us to use e-mail during class to talk to each other but I'm willing to anyways. I bet he won't yell at you either. He was thinking of making you guys teachers for different classes but decided that wasn't a good idea so he's using some other people…maybe some you would know, but anyways, that's all. Oh yeah, sorry about the door…heh heh…So I'll see you? Okay! Bye!" Element finished and she left by slamming the door nice and hard to show clearly that she had left.
"Uhh…is it just me, or is this really freaky?" Beast Boy asked.
"It's just you", Raven added.
"Yeah, BB! I mean, we get to go to these classes and show these kids whose boss! And think, no HIVE people! They go to HIVE!" Cyborg yelled happily.
"Unless…" Raven started.
"Unless what!" Cyborg asked her quickly.
"Did you not hear Element? Bruce Wayne is not only allowing the good people, but the bad, too. Robin will probably want us to keep an eye out for them or something. Maybe some of those HIVE kids will be there, too. I don't know about this…" Raven said.
"Raven! How bad could it be!" Cyborg asked her.
Behind them the large screen turned on and a large annoying voice surrounded the room. A little head was shown up on the screen smiling evil, as usual.
"Gizmo… real bad…" Cyborg muttered and wrapped his fingers into a fist.
"That's right, Booger Butt! I'm gonna kick your can at Wayne High! Yeah, Bruce said we could come! Isn't that great! I already checked and you're in three of my classes. Bet you sit next to me, too. It's torture time!" Gizmo yelled and then chuckled loudly.
"You little mini freak! We aren't gonna listen to a baby like you! Take my back, Raven!" Beast Boy said.
"Bye", she said as she pressed a button and turned off the screen.
"Well, that was easy! Heh heh…" Beast Boy added to the red faced Cyborg.
"I'm gonna kick that little creep's behind so bad…he's gonna wish he never came to that school!" Cyborg yelled loudly.
"Yeah! And we'll get him into detention, too!" Beast Boy said forcefully.
"An hour in detention, yeah, that'll get him…" Raven said sarcastically and walked away back to her corner for her meditation.
Two hours later, Robin and Starfire re-entered the room to find Beast Boy sleeping on the couch, and Cyborg playing a one-player video game. Raven was still meditating. She slowly opened her eye to acknowledge the fact Robin and Starfire had stepped back into the room. She then closed her eye to get back to meditating.
"Beast Boy? Cyborg? Raven? Robin and I wish to tell you something…will you please awaken?" Starfire asked them politely and loudly.
"Okay, Star, you caught my attention, what ya want?" Cyborg asked her as he paused his game.
Raven stop her meditating, once again, and walked over to the couch next to Cyborg. Cyborg shook Beast Boy to wake him up.
"Huh? Wha-what's goin' on?" Beast Boy asked.
"BB…wake up, Robin and Star have to tell us somethin'" Cyborg answered.
"Robin wishes to confide in us all, not only myself. He would like to talk to you about his former life…Robin…" Starfire pleaded from him.
"I'd like to say, Titans, that I was never just a super hero. I was once before a boy in the circus working with my parents, the Flying Graysons. I wasn't Robin, I was a little acrobatic Grayson. Yeah, my real name is Dick Grayson, but I like Robin better. Anyways, one night, someone murdered my parents. Batman helped in the case, he liked me, so he adopted me as a son. He took me into his business and trained me. Turned out I was stronger than he thought I was. Soon enough, he found he didn't need me anymore. He offered me a job here, to help save the city from burglary, robbery, you know, that kind of stuff. Then I met all of you and we started the Teen Titans. And then, well, you know the rest. That's about it", Robin finished almost too sadly.
"Whoa…sorry, man", Cyborg said and put a hand on Robin's shoulder.
"Yeah, dude, we totally didn't know it was that bad…" Beast Boy said.
"Sorry" Raven said slowly, but she really meant it.
"Alright, Titans, let's get packed. We've got a big day tomorrow", Robin said, but this time with a smile.
"Oh, Robin! I can not wait! Raven! You must come with me!" Starfire said joyfully.
"Hey, Star! Don't forget bathing suits, lots of them, and pack Raven's too! Bring a towel, and a CD player, and a bunch of CDs, and a laptop! Does she even have one?" Beast Boy said.
"Uh…no", Cyborg replied.
"I bet Raven will be packing like two hundred pounds of sun screen!" Beast Boy said and laughed.
"And Star will be bringing a bathing suit for every hour for her boyfriend-" Cyborg started but was interrupted by the red faced, surprised Robin.
"HER WHAT! WHO IS THE GUY! I'LL GET HIM!" Robin shouted.
"Easy, wonder boy. Relax…it's just this guy she's been crushin' on", Cyborg added as he and Beast Boy started to laugh.
"Oh…heh heh…well, I was just…she's been crushing on him! Cyborg, Beast Boy, who is this guy! Tell me….now", Robin said with a fist.
"Hey, man! You ask her…she made me promise…and you know you can't break a promise with Star or you might as well break her heart along with it…c'mon, man. Just ask her…I know you like her, too", Cyborg finished as he and Beast Boy broke out with another fit of laughter.
"I-I don't like her! She…she is a good friend!" Robin yelled over the laughter.
"She sure is!" Beast Boy said.
"I'll ask her tomorrow yawn I'm really tired at the moment. Well, goodnight, guys. I'll see you tomorrow. Get packed, Beast Boy, before tomorrow morning. We don't have the time to get packed. And Cyborg, no excuses, we have to park your car in a garage. Yes, like at the mall. Goodnight" he said and walked away towards his bedroom.
"'Night, BB", Cyborg said and slowly went to his room.
"Okay…" Beast Boy said and left for his room.

Okay, so it's a start…
