A/N: Hey guys this is a rewrite! All characters were left in it. I changed Sierra a bit and she is now Duvessa. My chapters will never be this long again believe me and there have been some changes.
Ravens POV
Beep! Beep! Beeeep! I slammed my hand down on the annoying alarm. "MOM!" I yelled from my Queen sized bed. "MOM! I need to stay home! I can't go to school today!"
"Raven your fine" mom yelled back. "You have to go to school it's the first day!"
"That's kinda the point" I muttered, while slowly sitting up in my bed. I then got up and walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and then washed my face. After that I went to my closet to choose what I was going to wear. I settled on my favorite black skinny jeans and a form fitting purple tank and a black denim jacket.
"Raven! It's time for breakfast!" mom hollered.
"Coming" was my reply. I laid the outfit on my bed and before changing, I went to the kitchen to eat. Mom had made me some tea and some toast. I had just sat down and took a bite of my toast when my mother turned around.
"You're not even dressed!" She yelled and waves of annoyance flooded off my mother, and filled my mind with anger.
"I know mom! I-"
"You have to go to school in ten minutes! And you have to change! And do your hair! And eat! And pack! And-"
"I KNOW!" With that I put down my tea and stalked out of the room fearing that a moment more will cause some massive damage to my house. Within minutes I had taken a shower and used my powers to change and pack my bags for school. With only two minutes left I came out of my room and said goodbye to my mom. I then engulfed myself within my soul self and teleported to the Specials High lobby.
Cyborg POV
In the lobby of our private High School I saw our friend Raven Roth. Beastboy, Starfire and I were already here and then Raven showed up. Now all we need is the other bird. . . Robin. "Yo! Raven over here!" I yelled to her. You can really see how her face lightened up after she saw us. It exposed one of her rare smiles that quickly turned back into her stiff expression that happens after one of her emotions showed.
A tap on my left shoulder woke me up from my thoughts and I quickly turn to my left only to find no one. Then I hear all of the suppressed giggles and then the outright laughing of one annoying little bird. "Robin!" I yell whipping around and grabbing him by surprise. The laughing stopped. It seemed that the whole room went silent. I thought that it was because I grabbed 'The Boy Wonder' but I soon realized that it was because of a huge figure behind me. I dropped Robin and then turned to see, the one, the only, the most feared teacher in the school- Slade.
"Students", Slade nearly growled. "The principal wants everyone in the assembly room" Slade looked around the room before saying "Now!" Then he grinned and watched us scramble around trying to bring all our stuff to the assembly room.
Callie Daniels POV
I didn't realize just how many students were in that lobby. I mean sure it was crowded and loud but this assembly hall could fit like 2,000 people and it was FULL. I had to go find an empty seat in a literal SEA of people. Luckily I found a seat near the front, actually most of the seats that were remaining for us stragglers were in the front. I was fine with that because I want to see our principal up close. I look around to see who I am sitting next to. On my right was a girl who clearly wants to be left alone and on my left is a girl who with long curly red hair that looks like there are gold strands in it. I take a moment to wonder if they are real, probably I finally decided. She has green eyes and is wearing a green dress with white details and sleeves. She looks pretty short, close to 5' and can't possibly weigh more than me, less than a hundred pounds.
After practically staring at the girl for like 5 minutes, I decided to ask about her name and introducing myself. So I tapped her on the shoulder. She turned to me and blushed. Was she shy? "Hi!" I said.
"HI?" she replied.
Yep she was shy. I just smiled and she seemed to relax. . . a little. "Hi my name is Callie Daniels".
She smiled and said: "My name is Liah Hearth but, you can call me Eartha".
"Cool, nice to meet you . . . Eartha" We both smiled.
Calypso Tenny POV
On my right I saw two girls who had just became friends (their names were Callie and Liah) and to my left there was a girl talking to a boy. I kind of listened to their conversation and the girls name was Marie Grant and the boy's name was Nick Schnable. The girl was originally going to talk to me but I stood up and was going to get out of this loud room and wait in the lobby until the assembly was going to begin. But Slade was blocking the door and we all know (even if your new) that Slade should not be messed with. So I returned to my seat and luckily she was talking to the boy on her left. YAY! Now I don't have to talk to any one! Did I mention that I am VERY anti-social and shy?
Then the lights dimmed. It was now time for the assembly.
RED X
As the lights dimmed Slade casually walked to the annoying five, group (Starfire, Beastboy, Cyborg, Raven, and the most annoying one, Robin) and said something that made all of them complain. I put on one of my famous smirks and turn around only to see Slade. Crap!
"Students I am very happy to say that your little group of 4 have to move-" He smirked as my face dropped in disbelief of what he was about to say. "- to sit with that group over there." He points to the annoying 5. "Your names are on your seats. "Good day. . . And behave yourselves!"
Here is the formation of their seats. (C = cyborg R = raven B = Beastboy S = Starfire N = Robin (For Night Wing) X = Red X G = Gizmo J = Jinx M = Mammoth)
S M C
R X N
J G B
With Slade sitting right behind Mammoth.
Man I hate that I have to sit right beside Bird Brains, but on the other hand Mammoth was right behind me blocking me from Slade's view.
"Students and fellow peers-" Said a smooth, young, voice from on stage. I look up startled at the youth of the voice. "-hello." The girl was young and VERY beautiful. She had a perfect complexion with eyes that were bright and, as I heard from others, change color. She had long Dark Chocolate Brown her that reaches down to her lower back. She was wearing a light blue and teal layered skirt with and a fitting turquoise tank that sparkles when the light hits it. This girl could be no older than 16, yet she is the principal.
"This year is the very first year of Special High. We have gathered high school age kids from all over the U.S. that have special abilities. We have decided to train you guys to use your powers to the best of your abilities. We are not set up like a normal high school; we do not split you guys up in groups due to your age or grades but by your past, your powers and your skills. These allow us to make different groups where everyone has something in common." She smiled and I am telling you every guy in that room melted. She is gorgeous. I looked over to Bird Boy and saw that weird look that we (boys) get when we see someone we like. And to tell you the truth I probably had the same look on my face to. "And Students" she continued "The lists will be sent to your new IPhones in your rooms. The chairs you're in will now drop through the floor and bring you to your rooms. BYE!"
Then my chair fell through the floor and I plunge through the darkness.
Robins POV
What was that? I wondered.
Flashback:
I was walking over to my group of friends from the garage entrance and saw Cyborg lost in thought. Realizing that this was the perfect opportunity to prank him I snuck up to him and put my finger to my lips, signaling for my friends to be quite. I was right behind him and tapped him on the left shoulder while stepping quickly to the right. He fell for it. All of us laughed but I guarantee that I was the loudest. Just as I was going to Say hi, Cyborg whipped around, yelled my name and grabbed me. The room went silent. Slade, the worst teacher ever! Cyborg dropped me. "Oomph!"
Later on Slade made us move to a weird pattern AND made the least liked group sit with us! The principal started to talk and to tell you the truth I zoned. I zoned because, let's be honest she was B-U-ti-ful, and I couldn't help staring. Now back to what I was saying. That was, I zoned until my chair fell through the floor.
End Flashback.
Now I'm lying on the bed the chair dropped me onto and looking at the ceiling, and just barely remembering that the school gave me a new IPhone. I quickly sat up and searched for the phone and finding that all my stuff was unpacked and put away for me. Then looking back at my bed I see the phone sitting there were I was dropped. Unlocking it I put in a new password and looked up my class.
At the top of the message it said that each class has about 11 students and will move with these groups for all of their classes. Beside each name was a picture.

I quickly scanned the list to find my name but stopped at a familiar face. I tapped at the Thumbnail sized picture to enlarge it. The smiling face of our principal filled the screen. The name Duvessa My legs turned to jelly and I collapsed on the bed. Then someone knocked on the door.
Talia POV
"OMG!" I can't believe that my best friend is here and she is in my class! I grab the friendship bracelets I made for us on the trip here and ran through the halls searching for the door with my best friends name on it. THERE! I stopped in front of the door with a plaque that says "Alexandra" on it I knock. Then the door opens and I scream.
A ton of clothes flew at me and I fell to the floor. "Lexie! Oh my God!" I looked around the room seeing the mess. I honestly looked like a tornado blew through her room. Then I saw the girl I was looking for and she just smiled.
Then I heard her in my mind. "I tried to use my powers to unpack and well…" her mind voice trailed off. This is probably the biggest thing that allows us to be friends, she can talk to me in my head which is a HUGE help because I'm deaf. I can read lips but it does get tiring, and when people are far away she can just repeat what they said to me. So it's all good.
Robins POV
"Come in!" I yelled to the person on the other side of the door while I closed the picture and locked the phone.
"Hi?" A smooth, petite voice said. I look up and my jaw dropped.
It was Duvessa and SHE WAS IN MY ROOM!
"Robin? Robin are you okay?" she asked me. She looked concerned and all traces of panic, that was there, disappeared.
I just nodded dumbly.
"Good I need you to help round up all the boys on this list and bring them to the gym. Okay?" she looked panicked again and the second I replied she rushed off to gather the girls.
I quickly got up off my bed and ran into the hall. Within 15 minutes I gathered all the boys from the list and headed down to the gym.
There were only three groups in gym. With all three instructors. Slade and his group sat on one of the three bleachers. Layla and her group on another and, my group, with Destiny, on the last bleacher. I went and sat down next to Duvessa who had Red X on the other side. For some reason I never get a good feeling when I'm near that creep. He feels pretty hostile, especially to me.
Then all three teachers stood up and walked to the center of the room. "Hello students" Layla said in her serene form that instantly relaxed all who were previously worried. She wore a long green gown that had gold ivy embroidered into it. "Today will be your first test. We will split the three groups to act as heroes, villains, and … victims."
"And" Destiny continued, not missing a single beat. She wore a pair of black leather pants, a tight black leather shirt with black boots that go up to her knees. "not in your class groups but in groups decided by-"
"Me" Slade finished, wearing his normal black/brown and orange suit, complete with matching mask.
Sean POV
Now I can't wait to hear the groups. I hope I am a hero. But I if I can't, being a bad guy isn't that bad. Is it? But seriously I REALLY want to be a hero.
If I am a hero I would just LOVE to save that dark Goth sitting in front of me! I'm pretty sure her name is Raven. Her name is dark, but light. It's deep and powerful yet extremely fitting with her small petite frame. She is perfect. And if I could save her from any nasty villain I would just be delighted! Not with the fact that she was captured by a villain and needed saving but with me saving her.
But if I was a villain I would want to capture that snot nosed brat Gizmo. He is so annoying and sometimes I just want to gag him. And throw him into a locked room about a mile underground.
Rain POV
It has been three minutes since they told us Slade made the groups, and they still haven't told us who is in what group, or the rules, or anything else that's important. I mean this is the first day AND this is the first test. Half of the people probably NEED help to control their powers in a not stressed condition and now you're going to go put them in a test maybe as heroes to save some of us?!
God life stinks!
And with my luck I'm going to be a stupid victim and have some kid who just discovered their powers (and has NO control) save me.
Scarlette POV
"Everyone, as much as I enjoyed making you wait." Slade said earning Slade a punch from Destiny "But unfortunately we must now tell you the groups."
"And what Slade has failed to mention" Destiny put in with a glare to him "is that the groups are not only thing designed by him but so are the teams. Each team has one villain one hero and one victim. There are 34 students so Slade decided to add one extra victim to a team creating one team of four. We will explain the rules after we tell you the teams."
"Are you ready for me to tell you the teams or do you want me to wait some more?" he said with just a hint of amusement.
One particular boy dressed like a traffic light threw a small smoke bomb to him as an answer but Slade had enough speed and agility to throw it back at him before it exploded. Which is nearly impossible, and only the best can do it, which makes him the best!
Man does Slade look good in that suit. I wonder if that's his uniform or what he wears on his own accord I will have to ask Duvessa. Wait. What am I thinking? No! No! NO! I don't think he looks good! Not at all! Well... No! But he is pretty... Cool. And he is handsome. Ughh what am I supposed to do?
Duvessa POV
"Good thinking Robin, Give the meanest teacher in the school a smoke bomb" I said in between coughs from the cloud of smoke surrounding Robin, Red X, and me.
"It's not MY fault he can catch AND throw it back before it detonates." Robin said.
"Of course he CAN! He's one of the BEST in the world!"
"How was I supposed to know that?!"
"Oh, so you think I would just pick up any old hermit off the street to teach 34 highly skilled and powered kids?"
Then the smoke was gone and this fight was over and I had won.
Now after that incident I see every pair of eyes in that gym look at Slade. "We're waiting." I said in a bored tone and then he says the teams.
Sean POV
Finally he is going to tell us the groups instead of toying with us! YAY!
"Before I begin I will like to tell you that if you had expressed concern in your powers and the lack of control you have we have put in the victims category so you won't have to worry about hurting someone. But I will also say that some highly powerful people who have REALLY good control will also be victims to allow either the hero or villain a chance to succeed. And without further ado the groups."

Yes! I thought and I couldn't believe my luck! I get to save Raven! Man am I happy!
Lina POV
Wow isn't that funny? I'm pretty sure Eartha's real name is Liah and that sounds A LOT like Lina! And I hope she knows what she's doing I don't want to fail! Wait how do you "fail" as a victim? Maybe when Slade tells us the rules he will tells what to do to pass the test and how to fail it?
Destiny POV
"So the rules are really quite simple the villains do what they can to kidnap the victims and keep them while the hero's tries to prevent it and get the victims back. The victim has to try to not be kidnapped but cannot use their powers, except to fulfill one promise to there hero. The promise cannot be anything like "don't get kidnapped" or "When you get kidnapped fight the villain and escape", those are not acceptable but you can tell kid flash to run away from the villain as fast as possible, but once he gets kidnapped he has to not use his powers again. Got it? Oh and you CAN'T KILL anyone-"
"Sorry to disappoint you" Slade interrupted with a smirk and a glance to his charges.
"Even though we can fix any major injuries but we can't bring you back from the dead." Often I added silently after stating that fact of safety. "And for that group of 4, you need to work twice as hard to reach same grade as others but you guys need the challenge. And Duvessa will explain a way to get bonus points for your group only."
"The victim's grade will be based on how easy you make it for the hero to find you" Layla cleared up any doubts a victim had on how to get a good grade. "Scream and touch everything leaving fingerprints to follow and beat the other person up as much as possible.
The setup for this test is that all of the students will have free rein in a city we made and control, we have people you don't know there. Bad guys and good guys alike will be there. You will be given apartments and such needs. Beware there are dangers there beyond your control. So pack up and go. There is a building that has a limited amount of gear for you guys to use. Victims must go to a briefing room instead of getting supplies."
They just sat there most anxious of getting the 'good' stuff. "Go" and just like that the room was practically empty and within a few more seconds it was completely abandoned.
Lina POV
Thank God! I won't die or be seriously injured! To think me NOT being able to use my powers while being kidnapped is scary but at least now I know they can't kill me and if I do get hurt I can be healed! Anyways I'm almost to the briefing room. I'm actually looking forward to this assignment! But I feel kinda bad because I'm not good enough to be more than a victim! I mean I knew I needed to learn more about my powers but this is like adding insult to injury! This school REALLY needs to work on boosting peoples self-esteem, right now they are doing the opposite. Maybe I should tell Duvessa...
Scarlette POV
"Hey! Scarlette!" I turned to see Duvessa running to me. I stop and wait. "Hey, thanks for waiting."
"No problem, hey I have a question."
"Yeah? Ask away"
"Are you a victim because you are too good or umm…. Because…."
"I'm bad? No. I'm good. You?"
"Same here…" We both smiled as we entered the briefing room. Then we found two seats next to each other and sat down.
Emilia POV
So all of us heroes and villains are running in the halls to the room with all the tools and I thought about it and turned around. All I need is my guitar, my IPOD, and my IPHONE. Then I'm set.
Dan POV
I was looking around for Emilia to try to find what she was grabbing. Maybe then I would get a heads up. But sadly she was not there and the good stuff was going fast. I ran in the huge horde of teenagers and came out with a good portion of supplies. Then I see her run in at the end of the time. I look around and I lost sight of my target.
BANG!
Something hard hit me in the head and I fell into darkness.
Marie POV
Now all I need to do to catch KF is to go…
Well let's just see where he lives and who I'm up against first before I say more or even think more.
Emilia POV
After knocking out Dan with my guitar I raid his stash of tools and see:
7 Smoke bombs
9 knives
1 First aid kit
1 laser gun
1 glass cutter
And
5 small clear orbs (Think the size of marbles)
Okay I now know what he has let me just grab some mines and such. Nothing deadly but good enough to injure him. Cool. Now all I have to do is head to the briefing room to find my charge. Randomnizer. Sounds interesting enough, this actually could be fun.
Lidia POV
It is a good thing I can read minds so then I can communicate with my charge. She is deaf after all…
Lucas POV
OMG I have to fight my GF! I hope this doesn't ruin my relationship. That would suck!
Anyway I just can't wait to get an A++++++++++ on this test. I'm sooooooooooooooo gonna win.
Um? Who said you are gonna win sweetie? Lidia thought to her BF I'm not going to allow that. And you know that. Anyways a true gentleman would allow his Girlfriend to pass
him and help her get good grades on tests. Right?
UM? Why are you reading my mind? I thought we agreed not to have that happen unless I give you permission. Remember?
Yes, but that was before you became a villain and I have to stop you. So there! HA!
Ugh! BYE!
Then I locked her out of my mind. For now…
Kid Flash POV
I can't believe that, I Kid Flash, the fastest boy alive, is a stupid victim! That is soooo wrong! I am way too good to be a stupid victim! I should be a Hero! I am an honorary Titan! I think that this Slade guy is some sort of-
"Umm… Excuse me?" I turned to see some girl looking straight at me! She was a looker!
"Y-Yes?" Did I just stutter? Why in the world did I just stutter? Is she really THAT hot?
I stare at her for a moment. Yep she is that hot!
"I know this is weird but my friend over," She points, "there is getting a headache from your thoughts being so loud. So could you try to think more quietly?" I look over and see it's the principal sitting with her fingers pressed against her temples as if trying to ward off a headache.
"If she wants me to stop she should come and tell that to me herself, instead of sending her beautiful friend to do her work."
"Well if that's what you really want…" I turn around and there is the principal.
"Um?"
"All I want is for your thoughts to just quiet down. Right now almost everything you think is being yelled into my head."
"Hey, last time I checked I'm not the one who stuck ME with the STUPID VICTIMS!"
"Well I didn't either! So stop acting like a child and THINK! Half the people in here have amazing powers and have great control. So in one form being a victim is a complement, so you should be proud!"
Lina Pov
Wow! After what Duvessa said I feel Special about being a victim! At first I felt bad because I thought that Slade thought I wasn't good enough to be more than a victim but now that there is a 50% chance that he thought that I was too good to be up against I felt great! Yay me!
PS: note to self, Never get on Slade's or Devussa's bad side. Slade seems to have A LOT of power and Duvessa seems to have a no-nonsense attitude and she seems to be in the too much power category.
Marie Grant POV
The villains all met in an empty warehouse in this 'Fake' Town. I believe they called it Expyro. Slade was talking to us and making sure that we all knew who are victim is. (Mine is Kid Flash) their powers (speed) and all about our heroes. And right then and there I promised myself that I will win, and not only that but I will win with less effort than expected. I will use my slaves.
But the funny thing about promises is that they are usually lies. But not this promise. This promise will happen and this promise will be the start of the downfall of heroes. This promise will also be the rise of us. Us Villains.
So as you know there are more chapters yet to be redone, but they will be coming so be prepared! And please tell me how you like the story! And vote on my profile and PM me your guess about who people will choose as a favorite character! (In the Teen Titans only Rules and Conditions apply)
