AN: This is a good one…I can feel it in ma bones! So anyway this is going to be a big one for me. I'll have more detailed descriptions for the Titans in later chapters. They are needed because the Titans are older and do look different. And I will have a soundtrack posted on my writer profile soon, it will include the song, artist, the chapter it's in and when the song starts.

Track 1: Intro

It seemed like just another lazy day in Titans Tower. Slade had been AWOL for nearly a year and without him, crime fighting seemed a little dull. Robin and Cyborg were playing Fight Night Round 3 while Starfire watched them, Beast Boy was sleeping on the couch, and Raven sat in a chair reading one of her various, title less books while Terra played with her dog Hermes (a golden retriever). Cyborg said "man will you hold still so I can knock your ass out? Robin smirked as he danced around Cyborg's fighter, "come and get me big man" Cyborg replied by feinting to the right and then catching Robin's fighter with a haymaker. Starfire cheered as the count started "What a marvelous display of masculinity!" Just then the doorbell rang (which in Titans Tower buzzed like an old telephone) everyone except Raven ignoring it. As she went to answer it Terra thought to herself as she leaned over the couch, watching Hermes chase the ball she through "Dammit, nearly four months and I have yet to meet a decent guy, I haven't even gotten any action…FUCK!"

Terra drifted off into dreamland, thoughts of the previous "encounters" filling her head until she was shaken out of her daydreams by the grunts of annoyance and displeasure coming from the boys. Cyborg said in protest "what the, what happened to the game?" Raven spoke "I froze it." Beast Boy asked "why" Robin joined in "yeah and I was just about to knock Cy's chrome ass out too." Raven sighed "as if winning that stupid game would mean anything, we've got some people here who want to talk to you Robin." "oh what do they want" Robin asked, suddenly interested. "They want to join the Titans" said Raven.

The team eagerly walked over to the monitor, Robin brought it to eye level and said "hello this is Robin, you guys wanted to discuss becoming members of the Teen Titans?" A tall boy, a little taller than Starfire stood in front of the camera, he wore baggy black jeans, a gray belt with a big silver buckle, a black sleeveless shirt with red trim, black knuckle gloves, a black button up pinstripe shirt with the arms rolled up, slightly tanned skin, sparkling green eyes, two piercings on his right eyebrow and one in the corner of his bottom lip, long, spiky red hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips. Terra could see Raven blushing slightly as he spoke "Ello' there bird boy", he had a strong London accent. A taller boy pushed him aside and said "take your pills already!" Terra's breath caught as she caught a glimpse of the tall boy "oh wow...he's hot." The taller boy looked more lanky and about an inch taller than the loud one, with shoulder length shaggy/spiky reddish-brown hair, a hemp choker necklace, gauged ears, and brilliant pale blue eyes. He had on an old semi-formal hooded pinstripe jacket and a tight black shirt with "Tekken Force" written in red on the chest underneath it, longboarder gloves with a koi-fish on the back, and a pair of slightly faded blue skater jeans with a silver tiger face belt buckle. He also had a samurai sword with a black cord wrapped around it slung on his shoulder. He leaned close, his face distorted by the camera's fish eye lens, "the two of us are looking to join you guys, is there any kind of initiation shit we need to go through?" Robin responded "just a minute, we'll be right down."
