Hey y'all! I'm just planning on this being a serious of one-shots based on the Titans East, specifically Aqualad and him getting used to life on land.

On a warm morning in Steel City, the newly formed Titans East were finishing up their first combat practice since Cyborg left. A tall, dark-haired boy skillfully dodged an incoming laser beam as his teammate aimed an arrow at the source of the attack and destroyed it. A timer went off and both boys stopped and returned to the rest of their team: a dark-skinned girl with wings and two young spanish twins. The latter two were jumping up and down excitedly.

"¡Gran trabajo!" The twins yelled simultaneously. Speedy, the archer of the team, scoffed and rolled his eyes behind his mask.

"We beat the timer by less than a second; that's not exactly what I would call great." The leader of the team, Bumblebee, spoke next.

"Cool it, hot shot. You two worked together for once. Your time will improve with more practice. We are all still getting used to each other," She said, "That's enough for today, hit the showers." Then the team began to disperse. In a flash of red and white, the twins were gone. They arrived back at the tower in under a second. Speedy and Bumblebee began the short walk back, while the Atlantean of the team stood frozen for a moment, his face conveying his confusion. He jogged to catch up to his teammates just as they were beginning a conversation of their own.

"Tomorrow, you're going to be partnered with Mas y Menos, while Aqualad and I wor-"

"Hey Bee, what did you mean back there?" Now it was her turn to look confused. Both Titans had stopped walking and turned to face Aqualad.

"About what? Getting used to each other? We've only been a team for a little over a week, so over time-" The Atlantean cut her off once again.

"No, not that. What did you mean by 'hit the showers?' What is that?"

Speedy and Bumblebee looked at him like he had grown a second head. Speedy began emitting some strangled noises as he tried his best to contain his laughter, but eventually he gave in. Bumblebee looked at Aqualad, trying to read him. She could tell that he was genuinely confused and curious, and began to feel sympathy for him. After a moment, Speedy managed to reign in his laughter.

"Fishstick, you can't be serious right now," He said, looking back towards the dark-haired boy. Said boy had lowered his head slightly and wasn't making eye contact with either of the other two, instead taking an interest in his boots. Speedy turned to Bumblebee and continued.

"Is he serious right now?" He asked her in disbelief.

"I mean, it makes sense. The last few weeks of chasing Brother Blood and living here have been the longest you've lived out of the ocean, right?" She asked Aqualad, who looked up and nodded. Bumblebee turned back to Speedy.

"Think about it, how would you take a shower underwater? It's no wonder he doesn't know what it is." Speedy thought for a few seconds before nodding understandingly. Then his expression turned slightly disgusted as he turned back towards the Atlantean.

"Does this mean you haven't showered in the entire week we have been living together? We have had hours of training every day!" Speedy exclaimed. Aqualad gave him an unsure look.

"Uh, I don't know, maybe? I still don't exactly know what it is.." His expression turned slightly sheepish as he rubbed the back of his head. Bumblebee thought for a minute on the best way to explain this. She never thought she would ever have to explain the concept of a shower to an seventeen-year-old. Then again, she never thought she would be playing mom to a set of identical Spanish twins who can run at the speed of light, yet here she is.

"It's a way to clean your skin. You stand under a stream of water," She began to explain. It was turning out to be more difficult that she thought. Aqualad was still confused.

"Why don't you just get in the water?"

"Well, you can do that too. That's called a bath," Bee said cautiously. She wanted to get the point across without confusing him more.

"So it's basically swimming? When I am in the pool or the ocean, I'm taking a bath?" Speedy looked at him in disbelief again but kept his mouth shut for once.

"Not exactly...usually in the shower -or bath- you use soap and shampoo and-" For the third time, she was cut off.

"What's that?" Aqualad asked, curious once again. This is the moment when Speedy lost his cool.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER ARE, LET ALONE USE THEM, YET YOUR HAIR IS THAT NICE?!" The archer shouted, obviously frustrated. Aqualad looked shocked and confused at his teammates outburst. He then looked over to his leader for an answer, who was slowly inching away from Speedy.

"Uh, you use it to wash your hair," she answered once she deemed herself a safe distance from the irate redhead.

"Oh," was all Aqualad said, reaching up to touch his hair self-consciously. Bumblebee could tell that he was embarrassed to not be aware of these apparently common customs. She went to stand beside him, putting a soft hand on his back and leading him towards the tower.

"I know things are different, but you'll get used to life up here, I swear. Especially since you have a kick-butt team to help you." She sent him a reassuring smile and he nodded thankfully before returning it. Just then Speedy had caught up to them and threw an arm over Aqualad's shoulders.

"We got your back, Fishface! C'mon, we'll write out step by step instructions...on how to take a shower."

Hope you liked it!
