Ch. 1-Here She Is
It was a quiet and lazy day at the titans small island, when a quiet tapping came from the door. It continued for ten minutes until it finally reached the ears of Cyborg who was on his way going from his workshop to the kitchen, and at first he ignored it taking it as a solicitor, for they never had visitors that used the door. But as he came out with a piece if newly warmed pepperoni pizza on a plate he thought if it was someone this persistent then he or she deserved some sort of response. He creaked the door open to see a tall willowy girl with a blue tint to her skin that looked oddly familiar and a long white dress, she gave a small bow and said in a small voice
"Hello, may I see the one called Beast Boy? Is he here?",
Cyborg looked at her and he realized were the familiarity came from. Her skin had the same look as Beast Boys accept for the blue color, some of her features were similar to such as her pointed ears and the shape of her face.
"Who are you?" he said perplexedly, but no sooner had the reply left his mouth when the person in question, Beast Boy, came into the room.
"Hey Cy you better not have eaten my piz. . ."
he trailed off seeing the girl in the door, a mix of emotions flooded his face shock, apprehension, joy, and an emotion that Cyborg hardly ever saw Beast boy wear, concern.
"Brother. . ."
the girl said her eyes lighting up, she ran to him giving him a hug and spinning him around at the same time.
"I've been looking for you. You really need to find a better way to keep in contact, I barely ever hear from you and when I do get a letter the birds you send are always so tired afterward that they can't fly for at least a day and . . . and. . ." she then broke into a fit of coughing, Beast Boys face filled with even more concern than before,
"You really should be more careful, ya know." he said giving a sigh that turned into a smile. Then grabbing her hand he said "Come on let's get you to the sick bay, there's an air purifier in there you'll breath easier."
Cyborg opened his mouth to ask the borage of questions that were in his mind, but Beast Boy ignored him leading the girl upstairs and leaving a very confused Cyborg at the door. The whole tower was soon in an uproar. Everyone, even Raven, anxiously waited outside the door, it opened allowing everyone inside. Robin was the first to speak
"You have a SISTER?" he said keeping his voice down, but letting the obvious surprised tone shine threw,
"Yeah, kinda." Be said scratching the back of his head with a dopy smile and giving a sideways glance at his newly acquired sibling.
"What do you mean 'Kinda' is she or isn't she?" said Raven her mask of serenity back in place,
"Well. . . yah see. . .we were found by Mom and Dad, and we look alike so we've always assumed we were related, so we were raised as siblings." Beast Boy looked at his sister then back at his drop-jaw shocked audience,
"What? Is it really that surprising?"
Starfire was the first to pull out of the trance
"No friend it is just that this is the first time you have told us anything about yourself from before you were on the Doom Patrol and I have never thought to ask about it, but now . . . I am more curious that a Flipnarg on Plorg Day." her eyes were growing to the size of saucers. Beast Boy crossed his arms in thought "It's not that interesting."
Robin then shook off the blank look and said "And you didn't tell us about her before because. . ."
Beast Boy gave Robin a slightly quizzical look "It never came up and and it's kinda awkward 'cause Luella can't really come to cities because they make her sick, it's the first time we've seen each other since I left home."
Cyborg cocked his head to the side "Uhh. . . Luella?"
"Nice to meet you all!" the newly named sister said, giving a hop off the bed and turning it into a bow as she reached the floor "I'm Luella Logan, Garfield's twin sister."
The team's jaws dropped again.
"What?" said Beast Boy said giving a half pouting look.
Cyborgs shoulders began to shake and he finally burst out laughing "Dude, she's like a foot taller than you, are you sure your twins?."
Beast Boy looked at him in his usual angry face "We were found at the same time so we always assumed we were. Anyway does that really matter?."
" 'Course it does!" Cyborg said clutching his stomach.
"So, why are you here?" Raven then interjected, in her usual flat voice, taking a step toward Luella.
" Yeah, Lu why did you come here any way?" said BB breaking out of the stand off that had started between he and Cyborg.
"Oh. . I kinda need your help back home, some . . . problems have arisen and I can't seem to hold them off." she said fidgeting a bit and glancing at the others.
Beast boy smiled "They're ok, don't worry they're all 'different' " he said indicating each in turn, "Let me introduce you, this is Raven, her father, a demon, tried to take over the world, but we stopped him and now she's made a new family with the Teen Titans. This is Cyborg he was in an accident and most of his body was made mechanical, next to him is Starfire she came from space, enough said, and this is Robin, but he's normal."
Luella greeted them each in turn and just after Robin started brooding at his "normal" label she turned to Beast boy and asked "By the way what does 'space' mean I thought that was a place between to objects?"
Everyone accept BB looked at her surprised "Oh yeah, I forgot to explain that to you last time did I. Well you see . . ." and as Beast started explaining the others took the chance to give her a once over. She was no doubt pretty, her long, wavy, navy blue hair reached down to her waist, she had inherited the same slender form that Beast Boy had, but at the same time her height made her seem graceful and more poised. It was only as they observed her that they noticed something odd about her dress, it was woven from vines, bark, and flowers, "and so yeah space is basically the places beyond the sky."
"Friend Beast Boy why does your sister not no of the worlds beyond? You seemed to be unfazed when you learned of my origins, but your sister is not." Starfire looked a bit confused for she had thought all new of the worlds beyond.
" Oh, well . . . Yah see Luella hasn't ever really been anywhere besides the rainforest before because the toxins in the air that are mostly around human settled areas, so I've had to tell her about things beyond the confines of the forest, Mom and Dad taught her how to read an' stuff though." said Beast Boy shrugging a bit.
"I never took you for the teacher type." Raven said giving Beast Boy a sideways glance.
"Anyways!" Luella interjected before another stand-off started "Could you come home for a few days, maybe a week. It won't really take that long I think, I just need some. . . support." Luella, even with BB's assurance, still chose her words carefully, "Once the disturbances have been taken care of you can come straight back."
"Awesome, but what do you need help with? With your powers I can't imagine something you can't handle." BB said curiously.
'Hold up" said Cyborg "She has powers too?"
"Dude, she's blue of course she has powers, in fact her powers might even be better than mine." Beast Boys said brotherly pride filling his face which changed into a mischievous grin "In fact this could get very interesting." he continued dashing out of the room and bringing back several plants, making a circle in the middle of the room "Star, Robin I'll need you two to stand in the middle and don't worry she won't hurt you."
Knowing that most likely nothing good would come of this both stepped reluctantly into the circle.
"What should I do?" Luella said looking to her brother, "Give them . . ." BB leaned down whispering so that the others couldn't hear, "but don't lay it on them too thick or we could get in trouble." He said to Luella who nodded, walked over and kneeled down placing her right hand on one of the circle's plants. She slowly closed her eyes, minutes passed and neither Cyborg nor Raven saw what was coming, after five minutes Cyborg was about to break the somehow full silence when Robin, who had somehow gotten very close to, Starfire suddenly leaned over and started to kiss her and even more suddenly she rapped her arms around him and kissed him back. Within seconds they had a full on make out session.
"That should do it." BB said smiling impishly and opening the window so that the wind could blow through the room, he then coughed rather loudly to startle the two out of what seemed to be a trance.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" said Cyborg staring googley eyed at the now blushing leader.
"That's what I'd like to know." Robin said glaring at Beast Boy and taking fleeting evil glances at Luella "Beast Boy what did she do?"
"She raised the levels of phenylethylamine and capsaicin in the plants." BB said obviously hiding a bout of giggles.
"When did you expand your vocabulary to know about them?" said Raven an eyebrow raised at the sudden newfound intelligence of her comrade.
"Our Mom was a horticulturist, someone who studies plants. When Garfield exhibited his power with animals we assumed I had a power too so after some practice we found that my powers are just like his accept I deal with plants." Luella answered, attempting to stand, but she swayed and quickly sat back down.
No words were necessary Beast Boy immediately shut the window and flipped the switch for the air purifier back on.
"But how did she raise the chemical levels?" asked Cyborg, wondering wether to be wary or impressed by the new power.
"She can talk to plants in the same way I can talk to animals, she just asked the plants to produce more of the chemicals I specified." BB answered helping Luella up.
"It's ok if I go right Robin?" he continued, looking to the teen leader. "Sure, fine with me." Robin consented "But if the enamy is strong enough to resist that kind of power in a rainforest I think you should have back up." he looked to the others "Raven will you go with him your powers will probably be most effective."
"Lucky me." Raven said crossing her arms.
"Great!" Luella said "We'll leave tomorrow."
