Somewhere on the West Coast
A/N: psychic link talk
Tamaranian talk
"Man, I thought we would never catch that guy!" Kid Flash exclaimed as the police put a power inhibiter on the criminal and hauled him away to be kept at Belle Rev across the country.
"Yeah, good thing he didn't know he had to eat constantly, to keep his metabolism from burning through those chemicals." Robin said, checking his left glove for the time.
"What's wrong, Robin?" Zatanna asked when the Boy Wonder groaned.
"You have the time?" He asked.
"11:43. Don't you have a watch on that thing?" Artemis asked, looking over his shoulder.
"Nah, wasn't room. Batman's working on it though." He stated matter of factly.
"We should be heading back-" Aqualad stopped talking when he noticed a green-flame-ball-thing about to land in a nearby city. When it did land, he expected an explosion of sorts, but there was none. "Team-" he was cut off by a laugh, the kind of laugh that made ones neck hairs stand on end.
"We should check that out." Robin said from aboard the ship.
When they reached the crash site, they noticed a giant crater in the road. They also noticed a humanoid alien trashing everything in sight.
"Miss Martian." Aqualad said, and without needing further instruction, M'gan set up the psychic link between the group.
'Team, subdue but do not injure the creature.' Aqualad ordered.
"Back away, if you wish not to be harmed!" the alien shouted.
Taking that as a challenge, Superboy attacked, punching the alien in the face, sending it flying.
'Superboy, I said subdue!' Aqualad scolded his teammate for his temper and hunger getting the better of him.
'I'm sorry; I thought the alien meant to insult me.' Superboy said.
Aqualad looked away to try and spot the alien so he would not be taken by surprise. Superboy followed suit and was hit in the face with something very hard. When he looked up from the rubble and debris of a building wall, he saw the alien smirking at him.
"When you yell at me, I get annoyed! But the minute you throw me through a wall, it is on!" Superboy yelled, running at the alien.
Not wanting to get hit by any flying building and/or car pieces the team hid (took cover) behind a city transit bus.
"Stronger than she looks." Robin commented aloud.
"How do you know it's a she?" Miss Martian asked.
"She's smoking hot, that's how!" Kid Flash answered to which the girls rolled their eyes.
"I'm going to try to get a read on her." Miss Martian closed her eyes to concentrate.
"How do you like this?" Superboy picked up the bus the team was hid-taking cover behind, and threw it at the alien.
He must have made her mad, because she started shooting what looked to Robin like balls of energy, or something, but he wasn't a science guy so he could only guess. It was then Robin noticed two things; Zatanna had cast a shield around the team, excluding Superboy as he was too far away, and some of the members of the Justice League had come to check out the scene. It looked like just Superman, Batman, The Flash, and Black Canary were the only ones heading toward them. 'They must have been in the vicinity or something.'
"She's gonna tear up the city!" Kid Flash stated everyone's thoughts.
"No! I won't lose this fight!" Superboy started to attack when Miss Martian put her hand on his shoulder.
"Maybe fighting isn't the answer." Everyone looked to the alien girl, who was slumped on the ground, panting.
"Be careful." Artemis said as Robin started toward the girl.
"Easy." Robin said, trying to sound calm and reassuring. "I just wanna help."
"You will be destroyed! Back away!" the girl shouted, raising her arms.
"It's ok, I just wanna help." When he got close enough, Robin picked the lock on the 'cuffs' restraining her arms. "There, now we can tal-" The Boy Wonder was cut off when the girl pulled him in for a kiss. 'Oh my god! First kiss! Hot alien girl!' Robin thought in his 15 year old mind that had just started seeing girls in a whole new light (well, girls other than Zatanna).
All too soon, the girl pushed him to the ground. "If you wish not to be destroyed, you will leave me alone!" and with that, she flew off, leaving everyone stunned.
"Umm…" Superman tried to start.
"Oookaaayy…" The Flash's said.
Batman cleared his throat and Robin was at his side in an instant. "We need to loc-" He was cut off by The Boy Wonder, who was looking at the holographic laptop thing on his glove, "What we need to do, is we need to find that alien girl, and make sure she doesn't trash anymore of this city."
"Yeah, so Robin can ask her for another kiss." Artemis teased.
"Yeah, right!" Robin said, his face getting redder by the second as he tried to act normal, which made The Dark Knight smirk slightly.
"Aww! Does Robbie-poo have a crush on the hot alien girl who kicked Supey's butt?" Kid Flash said in a condescending manner.
"Aqualad said subdue! I wasn't trying to hurt her." Superboy said, looking like a kicked puppy as he crossed his arms.
"Yeah, whatever!" Kid Flash said, hiding behind Robin and Batman, pretending to be 'helping' them.
"Ok, she's three blocks west of here-" Batman was cut off by a large holographic image of an alien.
"Earthlings, there is an escaped prisoner among you. Do not make contact with it and do not attempt to conceal or help it in any way, and we will leave your planet with minimal damage." As soon as the hologram cut out, the heroes could see a lot of the same aliens coming out of a giant ship that was hovering over the city.
"At least we know they aren't her friends." Black Canary said crossing her arms.
"We need to find this girl and figure out what she knows." Superman said.
"Agreed." Batman led the way to a video rental store, where she was eating the snacks, wrapper and all.
"You know, those taste better without the wrapper." The Flash said.
Startled, Koriand'r turned, ready for a fight. "I told you to leave me alone!" she said, relaxing slightly when she noticed who it was that had snuck up on her.
"Look, there are aliens out there tearing this city apart looking for you! So, until you tell us what they want with you, we aren't leaving." A tall muscular man said. He had a strange 'S' like symbol on his chest that Koriand'r vaguely recognized.
"What do you care if I am to be captured?" Koriand'r asked harshly.
"We're trying to help you!" A woman with medium length yellow hair told her, taking a firm stance.
"Why do you wish to help me? For what purpose?" She could not understand. She was not one of them, she was different, a stranger.
"We are trying to be nice to you." A dark skinned boy said calmly.
"'Nice'." Koriand'r tried the word on her tongue, trying to compare it to her own language, find a similar word. She could not. "On my planet, we do not have this word, 'nice'. The closest we have is…weak."
"Well, nice is good! And if you want us to keep being nice, you need to tell us who is after you!" Robin said, getting impatient.
"Who is after me is none of your concern!" the girl said, obviously getting angry again.
"It is my concern! First you trash the city, then you beat up Superboy! Then, after I help you, instead of talk, you KISS ME, and you won't even tell me WHY you're here in the first place!" Robin yelled at the girl, very annoyed now and so not feeling the aster, and starting to feel very not-whelmed at all.
"Very well." The girl said, closing her eyes for a moment to collect her thoughts. "My captors are an alien race called the Gordanians. Their mission is to deliver me to the home planet of the Citadel, where I am to live out my days."
"As prisoner?" Batman asked.
"No, as slave, a gift, in return for peace on my planet. Even though my people can defeat the invaders, my older sister agreed to the exchange." The girl answered solemnly.
"We will not let that happen." Superman said, but before anything else could be asked or added, a large group of 'Gordanians' showed up.
"Release the prisoner to us!" One of them said.
"Do not let them take her!" Superman ordered.
***Insert Cool Fight Scene***
"Foolish Earthlings! I warned you not to interfere! As a result of your defiance, we will destroy your planet!" The giant holograph said before vanishing again.
"Great!" Kid Flash said, hunching over slightly.
"Now they want to destroy the planet!" The Flash said.
"We won't let them. How do we board the ship?" Batman asked the alien girl.
"We will have to make an entrance." She responded.
***Insert Cool Ninja Robin Sneak Attack and Even Cooler Fight Scene***
After talking to the mayor, Superman came back to the group of heroes waiting on the steps of the City Hall.
"Where is the girl?" He asked when the Team and his fellow Justice League members turned to him.
"She informed us that her clothing should be changed." Kaldur informed him.
As if on cue, the girl came up to the group wearing an outfit that was both slightly indecent (though not much more so than Artemis') and very innocent at the same time.
"I would like to give you my thanks, for helping me to settle the matter of the Gordanians." Koriand'r said to the man with the 'S' symbol on his chest, whom she had been told was called 'Superman' "And if you permit me, I would like to stay here on Earth, where the architecture and landscape are very strange, but the people are very…'nice'." Koriand'r smiled. The word had a pleasant sound to it. "The only one who has shown me such kindness is my K'norfka." She added as an afterthought.
"We still don't know your name." Robin said.
"Forgive me. In your language," she paused a moment, thinking, "My name is Starfire."
"Welcome to the Team, Starfire." Megan said, giving Starfire a small quick hug.
"Of course, you won't be an official member until the League knows it can trust you." Batman said.
"I look forward to seeing how you will live your life from here on out." Black Canary said, smiling kindly at the young girl.\
"And how many times you kick Supey's butt!" Wally said, hiding behind Megan.
"I told you, I let her win!" Connor said, getting angry at the young speedster, who ran off to do whatever it was that had popped into his head.
"Kid Flash, why must you antagonize Superboy?" Kaldur asked quietly.
"I thought you were great!" Megan said, taking Connors hand as the Team made their way toward the Bio Ship.
"Hey, Supey, I bought you another shirt!" Kid Flash said, rejoining the others on the Ship.
A/N: ok so I cant write fight scenes so I didn't even try. Robin was a little out of character at a few parts I know but it was intentional. And I was going to have Zatanna be Robins first kiss but I decided not to for drama purposes in future chapters if I continue this. Oh! And if you liked this and have a certain episode you want me to do, just PM me, and I will tell you if I think I will be able to do it. I wrote this chapter out to be like the Go! episode of Teen Titans from my memory of the ep. so if it isn't exactly like the ep I either remembered incorrectly or wrote it like that on purpose. The scene in the video store when Rob yells at Star I know he wasn't supposed to yell at her till they fought the alien guys but I decided that would sound better. What else? Oh, if you write cool fight scenes and want to write one for this story, you can send it in a PM. Ummm… I guess that's it, sooo, please review and tell me horribly and/or greatly I did. Thanks!
