Rory: Wow, first chap already! I'm listening to "Jesus of Suburbia" by Green Day on the radio. Odd song.
Anyways, this is the sequel to "Sisters." I hope you like it. If you don't know what's happening, don't mind.
To EMBER91: Thanks a bunch!
To Raidersrule76: It was supposed to confuse you. I did a good job, then.
Read on!
It was a rather average day at the Tower; however, average days at the Tower weren't usually average. Raven was attempting to teach Cyborg to meditate to no avail. Beast Boy was putting tofu slices in the turkey bag. Starfire was in her room, admiring some baubles from the Mall of Shopping. Robin had the stereo in the basement cranked up so loud, some of the local seismologists were quickly dialing up the governor of California. As I said, a rather average day.
At that point, the alarm went off. By some miracle of nature, Robin not only had any hearing whatsoever left, but he actually heard the alarm. "Titans, go!" He yelled. Nobody heard him. He sighed, then reluctantly turnedc down Shady. "Titans, go!"
They sprang into action. Cy revved up the T-car and drove off. Beast Boy morphed into an eagle and flew off. Raven and Starfire soared into the sky. Robin took his motorcycle.
"So what is it this time?" Raven's monotonous voice came over the communicator.
"I dunno," said Robin. "It's at the north end of town."
Cyborg sped along. "I don't see why we just don't move the Tower. Everything's on the north end of town."
"It takes the long journey to reach our destination," Starfire agreed.
Beast Boy smacked into a telephone pole.
After catching the dazed teen, Raven replied, "If we did, then all the crime would move to the other side of the city. It always works out that way. They try to stay away from us."
"Yeah, whatever." Cy coasted to a stop in front of National Park. A huge, smoking crater lay in the center of the park. Something had obviously crashed there. Thankfully, the park had been remodeling at the time and no one was present. "Whoa," he said to himself. He flipped open his arm communicator. "Hey, guys, ya better hurry. There's some sorta space thingy in here, and it looks a lot like a slug or somethin'."
Raven, carrying Beast Boy, and Starfire alit to the ground besides Cyborg. "What is this 'slug' you speak of?" Starfire asked curiously.
"It's a nasty lookin' thing that slides around on the ground," he explained.
She looked thoughtful. "Oh."
Robin now slid up to them, leaving deep tracks in the soft gorund. "What is that?" he asked, pulling off his helmet.
"A space vessel," Raven said. "I came to Earth on one of those."
Carefully, Robin climbed down into the crater. He examined it, trying to find a door. "I cdan't find it," he muttered. "Where's Terra, anyways? She and Sierra could lift this thing in a second."
"They're off on a clue search again," Raven said. "Metrion, Robin, they're worse than you about the Slade thing."
"I resent that." He kneeled. "Hey, guys, there's something written on here."
Indeed, the side of the vessel was painted with beautiful green lettering. It just wasn't in English. The letters curled and made sharp edges. Somehow, it barely looked human.
The Titans clambered into the crater and crowded about the ship, staring in wonder. "It's not from Akinariza," Raven said. "That's where the vessel is from, though."
Starfire gasped and dropped from the sky.
"That – that – it cannot – " she stammered. She was staring at the starship. "Luand'r," she whispered. "Kutori niry comproso."
Robin put a hand on her shoulder. "Star, what's wrong?" he asked.
"My – I believe you say – mother. That is her name on the side of the ship."
Suddenly, there was a great creaking noise, and a hatch on the top slowly pulled itself open. A head stuck itself out of the top and twisted about. "Miesoth porputani'ek. Sorbeth Nei'korian."
The head was male, with black hair that looked like it needed a haircut. He looked to be about fifteen. His eyes were diamond-shaped and red. When he climbed out of the ship, he revealed a tall, muscular build. He wore black shorts with red lines trimming the bottom and a shoulder-guard-thing that looked Tameranian, only made out of black metal. There was a long piece of black fabric that came out of the front, hanging down his chest, again lined with two red stripes, that reached almost to his waist. A band of black metal circled his right arm.
For some reason, he stared at Starfire, walking closer. "Kori?" he inquired.
She stared back, green eyes wide. Then, she threw her arms around him and pushed her face into his chest. He hugged her back, saying something in Tameranian which really could not be written in English symbols.
Robin, to say the least, was pissed.
"What – " he began, but Raven stopped him.
"That's probably not what you think," she said.
Indeed, after a minute, Starfire let go of him and pulled him over. "Friends," she said happily, "This is my brother, Ryand'r."
Hahaha! I bet you thought it was her boyfriend or her dad! Even if you didn't . . . I still liked the chapter! If you did too maybe you could, oh, I don't know, review maybe?
That would be great!
Anyways, signing off.
Rory
