Soo...I'm back. I wrote teen titans fanfiction when I was in 6th grade and I just read them over and... wow... are they bad.. Like everyone who left positive reviews, I just want you to know that you are a liar. BUT I can't delete them because Aquaven fics are very very limited, so I don't want to limit them even more. But here I am, a freshmen in college, trying my hand at it again. My grammar may not be the best, I haven't taken an english class recently. I'm in another "obsessed with teen titans" phase so here we are...enjoy.

Bumblebee sighed and closed her communicator.

"That was Robin. Looks like they got it under control," she said to her team. The other four titans visibly deflated and groaned. Cyborg had contacted them earlier, explaining that they were having difficulty defeating Mumbo, who had some new tricks up his sleeve, and may need some help taking him down. Crime has been slow in Steel City for the past month, so the team was ready for a chance to see some action again. They had been waiting anxiously for the call telling them to begin the five hour flight to Jump City. When Bee's communicator had began to ring, the boys had already been making their way to the TE-Ship.

"Damn it. I was hoping for some action!" the red headed archer complained. He dropped his bow and fell back onto the couch.

"Quería ver a la señorita Starfire", both of the twins said simultaneously. They looked at each other and glared. Mas jumped on Menos and they began to fight. A black eyed boy with matching jet black hair took a step back to avoid the brawl, while the team's leader took to the air while rolling her eyes. They were used to these trivial fights by now, but they never lasted very long, and neither of the boys hit very hard, so they usually just let the brothers go at it.

Bumblebee looked to the two elder boys. Speedy was combing his hair while simultaneously flipping through channels on the oversized television. Aqualad was still wearing a neutral expression with a hint of disappointment. He seemed to be getting ready to dive into his pool when all of the sudden an alarm started blaring throughout the tower, accompanied by a flashing red light. Surprised, he looked up and over at the other titans. Mas and Menos, who were on the floor, had stilled and were looking around; Mas was pinned under Menos, who had his fist pulled back ready to hit his brother. It had been over two weeks since the alarm had sounded, and Speedy smiled and threw a fist up in the air.

"Yes! It's about time!" He said while getting up off the couch and making his way to the monitor, along with the other titans, where Bee was already typing in the proper codes. A video came into view of a familiar street, along with an unfamiliar villain causing havoc. The man was large and muscular, with a wicked face, a scar over his left eye, and fire in place of hair. His entire body was covered in flames. He was throwing large balls of fire out of his hands at buildings and cars. Speedy spoke up first:

"Who is this guy?" Bumblebee looked over the rest of the team.

"It doesn't matter, He is attacking the city and our job is to stop him. Let's go!" They all ran towards the car and sped off toward the city.

Fires were burning all along Main Street in downtown Steel City. All the civilians had cleared the area, and after deciding this was a job for the Titans, the police had evacuated also. The unknown villain was shooting fire out of his hands and watching as cars and street signs exploded and burned. He laughed to himself and prepared another ball of fire in his hands. A car pulled up behind him and five teens got out and stood in front of the car, preparing for battle.

"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, you're about to get booked for arson," Bumblebee said while putting her hands on her hips. Aqualad and Speedy stood to her left and right and slightly behind her with their arms crossed, and the twins were standing to the sides of them. The man turned to look at them and snarled. He seemed to get angry with Bee's comment, as the flames covering his body grew larger and hotter. He let out a yell and threw the fireball towards to the group of teens. They scattered to avoid it, and the ball of flames hit their car, causing it to explode. The Titans looked at it with wide eyes.

"Sparky isn't going to be happy.." Bee said before turning back to the villain. Speedy was already pulling an arrow out and loading his bow.

"Who are you?" He asked the man. The flames on the man died down a bit as he spoke for the first time.

"Just call me Flame" He said in a gravely voice as he gathered another fire ball. The archer rolled his eyes.

"That's not cliché at all" He said sarcastically. Flame got angry and his flames burned brighter once again. Aqualad cut him off before he went on another rampage.

"And what is it you want? The bank is right behind you, and you haven't even tried to take any money. There is nobody here anymore for you to scare. Why are you here?" The villain didn't look at him. He continued staring at Speedy as he replied to the atlantean, who was, unbeknownst to the villain, building up a wall of water behind him.

"Boss' orders." Bumblebee is the one who spoke next.

"And your boss is?" Flame's eyes got darker and he grinned.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out," and then the threw the fireball he had been constructing in his hands. At the same time that this happened, Aqualad released the wall of water. It fell directly onto Flame, who screamed as his flames were extinguished. Aqualad didn't see that the large ball of fire was coming directly towards him until it was too late. His eyes widened and he managed to get his head out of the way, but couldn't stop the flaming mass from colliding with his right shoulder. He shouted out in pain as the force of the impact knocked him off of his feet. He laid on the concrete ground, writhing in pain. Speedy was at his side in an instant.

"Aw, shoot, are you alright, dude?" He asked, kneeling down next to his friend. He winced as he saw the atlantean's injury. The material of his uniform was burned away and the skin covering his shoulder was burned black. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, it was not pleasant whatsoever. Aqualad wasn't the type to let others worry about him, and attempted to sit up.

"I'll be fine. We need to st-"

"Already taken care of," The leader of the group said as she flew over and landed next to the elder boys.

"The twins are making sure Flame gets taken to the cops, and I let the fire department know they have some work to do here." Bee said as she helped Aqualad to his feet.

"It would be much easier if I just-" Bumblebee cut him off once again.

"No, you've done enough. They can handle it. Let's get you back to the tower and see what we can do about that nasty burn." The atlantean knew better than to try to argue with her, and nodded.

After the taxi ride back to the tower, Aqualad was dragged to the med bay by his leader. The twins had fallen asleep on the couch soon after arriving home and Speedy had gone to take a shower and contact Titans West to share information about the new villain. Bumblebee cut the top of his uniform off and threw it in the trash, as it was ruined. Luckily, all of the titans had multiple replacement uniforms. Aqualad winced as she cleaned the wound as best she could, but never complained. It wasn't in his nature to do so. That was one of the personality differences between him and the other older male on the team. Speedy was loud, boastful, and arrogant, while Aqualad preferred to be more reserved and modest. He tended to stay back and watch things happen around him, rather than make himself the center of attention. Although they argue and don't always see eye-to-eye, the boys manage to get along a majority of the time, and see each other as brothers. Bee finished cleaning the burn but her face showed that she wasn't pleased.

"This is pretty bad, you're going to be out for a few weeks until this heals," She told him. His eyes widened and he tried to protest as Speedy walked in.

"Just talked to Boy Blunder, he wants us to head over to Jump to discuss Flame. Said they've never dealt with him before," He looked over at Aqualad, "I mentioned that you took a hit, and he said Raven can take care of it. Did you know Raven had healing powers? Cuz I didn't know Raven had healing powers." At the mention of the empath's name, Aqualad looked down at his hands and blushed. He shook his head and cleared his thoughts, hoping nobody had noticed. Speedy hadn't, which was a blessing. Unfortunately for him, Bumblebee had. Luckily, she was the lesser of the two evils. She gave him a knowing look and then smirked, all while wrapping his shoulder in gauze.

"Alright, Speedy, go wake up the twins and tell them to pack up. They can sleep on the way there. You go pack too, and please only back the things you really need. Aqualad, first go put a shirt on, then pack too. I'll get a bag ready and then get the ship ready. I want to be out of here within the hour. Let's move!"

Aqualad got down off the bed and made his way to his room. He winced as he one-handedly put a new uniform on. He packed a bag and made his way to the ship, where his teammates were waiting. He had so many thoughts running through his head and didn't know what to make of them. Luckily, He has a five hour flight to think things over.

'Why am I so nervous to see Raven? We've been friends for years. I mean, yeah, I saw her without her hood a couple times and she's very attractive...but Starfire is attractive, and I don't get this feeling if I think about her. What is going on with me?'

Don't forget to review please! I'm going to try my best to update as much as I can while I am in between semesters!
