This first chapter is short moves a little fast, but a lot more is explained as the story goes on, and there's a lot more action.
Beck, Jade, Andre, Robbie, and Cat walked into Sikowitz's office.
"Cat, I already explained, we can't tell Tori." Robbie said.
"NO! NO YOU DEFINITELY CAN NOT TELL TORI!" Sikowitz agreed.
"But, it's been a week and I feel kinda mean, can't Tori be a Titan too?"
"There's only 5 Titans." Beck responded.
"Phooey."
"Tori would tell Trina and Trina would tell everyone anyway." Jade shrugged.
A week ago Sikowitz explained to them that the LAPD was getting overwhelmed with the amount of crimes in the area and needed help, and told Sikowitz to reform the teenage crime fighting team that he was a part of 30 years ago, the Teen Titans. He still had the original Titans' uniforms (which were the source of their powers), and chose 5 of his top 6 students to be Titans.
"Why did we leave Tori out in the first place?" Andre asked.
"Look, regardless of WHY Tori isn't a Titan, she isn't a Titan, so she can't KNOW about the Titans, and that's that. Now the reason I've gathered you all here today is that you guys are officially halfway done your training, suit up and follow me to the simulation room."
The kids sighed and grabbed their costumes off of the wall.
"I wanted to be Robin." Robbie complained.
"Robin doesn't have powers, you actually have to be athletic to be Robin." Jade said.
Beck chuckled, putting on the uniform made famous by Batman's sidekick.
"Your cannon is on the wrong arm, idiot." Jade said, putting on her purple cloak.
Andre looked down at the cannon on his left arm.
"When Robbie puts his suit on his skin turns all green and stuff." Cat said, poking Robbie's face.
"WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?" Sikowitz yelled, returning.
"Cat's an idiot, Andre doesn't know his right from his left and Beck and Robbie are slow."
"Jade your cloak is on inside out." Sikowitz said, walking back to the simulation room.
"UGH!" Jade shouted as the guys and Cat laughed at her.
The next day, the gang was eating lunch at the Asphalt Cafe.
"Guys, where were you yesterday?" Tori asked, eating a bite of her salad.
Everyone looked at Jade, Jade looked confused as to why no one else could lie to Tori except her.
"We're on the...Chess team."
"Chess team? Oh wait is this a trick like the Ping-Pong team?"
"No this team's legit."
"Oh...well can I join?" Tori asked, with a smile.
"No."
"Why?"
"It's mid-season."
Andre, Cat, and Robbie looked nervously back and forth between Jade and Tori. Beck remained calm and ate his Pizza.
"Are you sure? Maybe I can talk to the coach and..."
"There is no coach." Jade blurted out.
"...Every sports team has to have a co..."
"Not this one."
Tori looked at Jade suspiciously. Then looked at Andre.
"Andre what's really going on here."
"W...well, we started this chess team and..."
"You're mumbling." Tori said, staring him down coldly.
Andre cleared his throat.
"There's a chess team and we..."
"Look me in the eyes and tell me there's a chess team."
"Uh..."
"Look me in the eyes, and tell me there's a chess team." Tori repeated.
"As beautiful as your eyes are Tori, I just got out of Anatomy, and we had to draw eyes all class and I'm tired of looking at eyes."
Beck burst into laughter at Andre's horrible lie.
Jade glared as him as Andre sighed.
"Tori, there is no Chess team." Cat said.
"AHA! Now where were you guys?"
"Sikowitz told us..."
"CAT!" Jade shouted.
"We're fighting crimes for the LAPD we're the Teen Titans!" Cat blurted out.
Tori looked at them, confused.
"Seriously, where were you guys?"
Jade, Robbie, Beck, and Andre all gave sighs of relief.
"I'm serious, I'm Starfire and Robbie's Beast Boy and Andre's Cyborg an..."
"I thought I was a part of the group." Tori said, looking hurt.
"You are." Beck assured her.
"If you guys are my friends, then why are you hanging out without me and lying about it?"
"Tori I swear I'm not lying I'd never lie to you." Cat said, frowning.
"...Cat actually is telling the truth." Robbie admitted.
Jade sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, she is Tori, we're the Titans, we've been the Titans for a week now." Andre said, sadly.
"Do you guys think I'm stupid?" Tori asked.
"Tori we're being serious."
"If you guys don't want to hang out with me anymore that's fine, but you don't have to lie about it." Tori said, tearing up, leaving the table.
"Tori, come back!" Andre said, running after her. Cat got up and followed.
Jade cracked a smile and started laughing.
"What's funny about this?" Robbie asked.
"I'm tired of looking at eyes." Jade responded, laughing.
Beck and Robbie both started laughing too.
"But seriously, Tori seems upset."
Jade shrugged.
"They told me they were the Teen Titans, Mom, you know, like that cartoon." Tori said, on the verge of crying. Her mother sat on the couch with her.
"Wait...they what?"
"I know, it's crazy, why would they not want me to know where th..."
"No what did you just say?"
"...They told me they were the Teen Titans."
"...Are you sure they were lying?"
Tori looked at her mother, annoyed.
"How could they be comic book characters, Mom?"
Holly sighed.
"Nevermind. I...maybe your friends are planning a surprise party for your birthday."
Tori paused.
"Oh my god, you're probably right, I've been freaking out for no reason."
"Yeah, just relax, you exaggerate things in your head."
"Thanks, mom." Tori said, hugging her and going upstair.
Holly pulled a picture out of her wallet and stared, it was a picture of her and Sikowitz, with the rest of the original Titans. She sighed and crumpled it up, throwing it away.
