I don't own the Teen Titans. The OC's, however, are the property of myself and my friends. Please don't steal. I hope you guys enjoy it, and reviews are awesome.

P.S. - This is my second attempt at this story. I didn't feel the first was thought out well enough, and decided to start it over. Here we go!

The cottony white clouds rolled lazily across the beautiful blue Jump City horizon. It was a perfect July day in the bustling metropolis. Though it was both hot and a little humid, a light breeze brushed across the city, making the day ever more bearable by its simple addition. The streets echoed with the sounds of citizens going about their daily business. It seemed as though nearly every inch of the city was clamoring with activity, from the towering skyscrapers to the invigorating public park. Everywhere, that is, except for a certain island with a giant, T-shaped building sitting smack-dab in the middle. Even the isolated island, however, was not devoid of activity on this hot summer's day. Across the water that separated the island from the rest of Jump City, five teenagers were approaching what appeared to be a small boat…

"Well… looks like this is it!" called out an energetic young boy with large headphones draped around his neck. "…You guys all ready?"

"Like, totally!" replied a girl to the boy's left with light blue skin. "…Let's get this shin-dig on the road!"

"…I'm just glad that plane ride is finally over," commented a slightly taller boy with blonde hair and a gray beanie as he popped his back.

"Whatever," called a boy with black hair to his left. "Let's just get on with it."

"Aren't you excited at all?" A pink haired girl eyed the boy inquisitively. "I think I'm about to burst! I'm going to go tell them that we're here, yes?" The first boy nodded and smiled.

"Okay, then. We'll see you there!" He pulled a card from his pocket and stepped on to the boat. "Let's see here… ah, here we go!" The boy slipped the card into a slot in the center of the boat's dash, and it slowly rumbled to a start…

Things had been a bit rough as of late for Jump City's signature superheroes, the Teen Titans. Crime rates had been on a steady incline for a good two months now, and things were simply beginning to get out of hand. It was too much for even the group of super-teens to handle, and even though they had inducted many, many titans over time, not all of them made their homes in America. After a conference with the rest of their team mates, a little additional government funding, and even a boost from Wayne Industries, the titans made their decision. Just as they had formed Titans East, it was time to plant another outpost to help further divide the mounting work load, and hopefully take some of the stress off their backs. It was time to induct Titans South.

High above the ground below, Titans Tower cast its shadow over Jump City. The city seemed to be filled with activity today. As busy as those city streets were, however, it seemed that the real hustle and bustle was going on inside Titans Tower itself…

"Cyborg, everything ready on your end?" called the boy wonder as he stepped through the automatic double-doors into the spacious common room.

"All the food's ready, man. I even made sure Star stayed away from the kitchen." Cyborg stretched himself from his tiring work in the kitchen, wearing a satisfied smile of approval.

"Thanks Cy, that's perfect. Raven, how are those streamers coming?" Robin turned his attention to the girl in the hooded cloak. A final colorful stream of paper was encircled in a dark energy and flung high across the room. It hung in place, held by thin supporters placed an even intervals on the ceiling. She wiped her brow.

"…Done, thank Azar. I don't think I could stand another minute of that." Robin nodded and smiled.

"Thanks, Raven. Sorry to put you to work like that, but your powers are perfect for that sort of thing." The girl shrugged, and sat herself wearily down on the couch. "…Okay, Beast Boy. Those balloons done yet?" The green boy wore a red face as he panted heavily, hanging like a rag doll over a chair. He was surrounded by what must've been one hundred or more balloons. All Robin was going to get this time was a weak thumbs-up from the changeling.

"Man… You did take breaks, right? You look terrible, Beast Boy… Hey Cy, grab Beast Boy a soda from the fridge, would you?" Cyborg popped the fridge open without hesitation.

"Roger!" He slung a grape soda in Robin's general direction, which he, by some miracle, actually managed to catch.

"Thanks…" Robin popped the tab on the soda and handed it to the worn-out kid next to him. "…And don't call me Roger." The boy wonder allowed a sly smirk to creep across his face. Beast Boy had only just started taking a drink, and already he was spewing it out in laughter.

"Oh, ha-ha, man. That's as bad as one of Beast Boy's…" Despite his protesting, Cyborg let a small chuckle escape his lips. Cyborg slipped a second soda out of the fridge and made his way over to the couch, plopping down next to Raven. Robin was about to go join them… when a thought crossed his mind.

"Hey Cyborg, where is Starfire?" The metal man took a large gulp of the soda he held in his hand before pointing upwards.

"I've got her on the roof pulling look-out duty… Actually, might be best to go get her." Robin nodded. The new recruits were supposed to be here fairly soon, and he knew she would want to be there when…

"Friends!!! They are here!" Starfire burst through the double doors as soon as they burst open. "I was performing the "look-out" as friend Cyborg instructed, and his wonderful little sea vessel is now moving across the water!" Starfire gave a girlish squeal, clapping her hands madly. Robin couldn't help but laugh a bit at her overflow of excitement.

"Calm down, there, Star! We still have a few minutes. That boat isn't going to get here for…" Suddenly, there was a rapping at the… window? The window?! They were a good ten stories up! Robin wheeled around, and there, hovering outside their window, was a pink haired girl sitting on top of what looked like a giant bubble. "Whoa! Well, that was fast…" Starfire had apparently already picked up on the girl, seeing as she was already facing the massive window, and was making her way over to a panel on the wall.

"Wait for just the second, friend! I shall open the window!!" Flipping the panel open, Star laid her hand on a large red button. As soon as her fingers made contact, the giant door began to lurch into motion, halving itself and folding outwards into the sky.

Marble moved back as the giant window began to open. The Titans Tower was even bigger than the pictures made it out to be… It's not like she was nervous or anything… It was more like, well… No, nervous was about right. That was weird, she thought, because there really weren't that many situations that gave her the jitters. But then again, there was a lot of excitement thrown in the mix. This was about as new as new experiences got, and she… Hey, where did that girl who was opening the window go?

The pink haired girl floating on the bubble wouldn't have to wait long to find out where the object of her attention had gotten off to, for mere seconds later, she was embraced in a nigh bone-crushing hug that not only popped her bubble, but threatened to burst her wide open as well.

"Oh, hello new friend! I am overjoyed to finally be making the acquaintance with you!" Starfire began to twirl around, spinning the suffocating girl in mid-air.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The headphone-wearing occupant of the boat cringed at the poor girl floating in the air above him. "Ooooh… That's gotta smart."

"If she hugs me, I swear I'm leaving." The black-haired boy looked away from the spectacle above, scowling.

"Gee, you're just a ray of sunshine, aren't you?" The headphone kid smirked, and nudged the other boy with his elbow.

"Next time, I break it off…" The boy sat down calmly.

The boy with headphones made an exaggerated grumpy face to the others, causing them to chuckle a bit. Luckily, the black haired boy didn't seem to notice.

Suddenly, a small beeping sound came from the control panel of the boat, causing each of them to turn towards it. Simultaneously, the boat slowed to a stop.

"I think we're, like… here." The last remaining girl on the boat peered over the side, before becoming the first to jump out onto the ground below. "You guys comin', er what?" she called, motioning to the others.

One by one, they made their way out of the tiny vessel, and towards the giant T-shaped building. The time had finally arrived…

Who are these guys, what are their powers, and who will their mentors be? Second chapter hopefully coming soon.
