DISCLAIMER: I do not own Teen Titans or the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life."
This is my first chapter story! I've done a one shot, but this is my first multiple-chaptered story. This is supposed to be based on the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" but it's not going to be exactly like it. If you've seen the movie this first chapter might make more sense.
Characters:
Richard--George
Kori--Mary
(I'm basing this on Richard's life, so most of the characters from the movie may not be in this story, but some of them might be similar to some of the characters. Most of the main characters in Teen Titans are going to be in this story.)
Enjoy and please RxR!
----------------------------------
Snow was falling delicately and created a blanket on the ground on Christmas Eve. The streets of Gotham City were deserted, but there were many prayers heard from the heavens above.
I owe everything to Richard Grayson. He's done so much for everyone in this city. Help him, dear Father...
God, help my friend Richard. Help him and his family tonight...
He never thinks about himself, God; that's why he's in trouble...
Richard is a good guy. Give him a break, God...
Please God, something's the matter with Daddy. I love him, please bring him back...
Please bring Daddy back...he's angry, and I want him to come home safely...
I love Richard, dear Lord. Watch over him tonight...
Numerous prayers were heard in the heavens above, and 3 angels listened to the people's prayers, who appeared to be stars in the night sky. One shined brightly as it spoke in a heavenly voice.
"Hello, Joseph. Trouble?"
"Looks like we'll have to send someone down. A lot of people are asking for help for a man named Richard Grayson."
"Richard Grayson. Oh yes, tonight's his crucial night. You're right, we'll have to send someone down immediately. Whose turn is it?"
"That's why I came to see you, sir. It's that clock-maker's turn again."
"Oh...Clarence. Hasn't gotten his wings yet, has he? He'll have to do."
"Because, you know sir, he has the I.Q. of a rabbit."
"Yes, but he's got the faith of a child. Joseph, send for Clarence.
Another star joined the others and twinkled as it spoke.
"You sent for me, sir?" Clarence asked.
"Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help."
"Splendid! Is he sick?"
"No, worse. He's discouraged. At exactly ten-forty-five PM tonight, Earth time, that man will be thinking seriously of throwing away God's greatest gift."
"Oh, dear! His life! Then I've only got an hour to dress! What are they wearing now?"
"Never mind what you're going to be wearing. You will spend that hour getting acquainted with Richard Grayson."
"Sir, say I accomplish this mission...might I perhaps win my wings? I've been waiting for over two hundred years now--sir, and people are beginning to talk."
"What's that book you've got there?"
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."
"I see. Clarence, you do a good job with Richard Grayson, and you'll get your wings."
"Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you."
"Sit down, Clarence."
"Sit down? What?"
Joseph sighed. "If you're going to help someone, you want to know something about them, don't you?"
"Well, naturally. Of course."
"Well, keep your eyes open. See the town?"
A town was visible, which slowly emerged from a blur into visibility.
"Where? I can't see a thing," Clarence complained.
Joseph sighed. "Oh, I forgot. You don't have your wings yet. I'll help you out. Concentrate. Are you beginning to see something?"
The blur began to take form, and the story of Richard Grayson's life had begun.

Yay! I'm done with the first chapter! It was kinda short because it's just the intro. Yes, I know, the first chapter might have been a little tedious. But I had to put it in. It'll get better. The next chapter will begin with the story of Richard's life. I based this chapter a lot on the movie, but the rest of the story is going to be a lot like the story of Richard's life and the Teen Titans. Please REVIEW:)
