Hello! Welcome to my 2nd story! I worked very hard on this, so please R&R! Also, if you have not read my other story, The First Date, please check that out also. Oh, and the seemingly random "TtTtTtTt" in the middle of pages is just a little paragraph break, jut BTW. I tried little astrics on my last story and JUST realized the don't show up. Oops.
I don't own Teen Titans, but I do own Cecilia and Duo! Please don't copy this plot or Cecilia and Duo, I worked through lots of possibilities and powers to come up with a new character that was not already invented. If you do, I will PM you and tell you that you have no creativity of your own. Then you can live with the guilt for the rest of your life. DON'T COPY PLEASE!
Chapter 1: Unicorn
It was a pretty average day at Titans Tower. Cyborg was waxing the T-Car. Raven was meditating in her room. Beast Boy was away somewhere in the Tower planning some prank. Starfire was in the kitchen cooking some concoction for her and Silkie, and Robin was "Reading" in the living room, practically drooling as he watched her.
'God, she's so beautiful.' He thought, 'She's beautiful on the inside and the outside. She's so devoted to everything she loves...her friends, her family...' He sighed inwardly. 'Except me. Well, she probably does love me like she loves all her friends, but not the way I love her.'
"What are you thinking about, Robin?" Her sweet voice pierced his thoughts.
"Oh, hey, Star. Just thinking about what a great day it is."
He hoped she hadn't caught him staring at her, and she sat across from him on the U-shaped couch, pulling her legs up to her chest.
"Yes, the day is quite glorious!"
It was a cool September morning, not quite fall, not still summer.
"I don't know," Robin said, looking out the window on to Jump City's bay. "The weather kind of makes you want to do something...productive, I guess?"
"It is interesting you make that interperatation, Robin, because it is the day that made me want to do the cooking of my home planet."
She smiled at him, and he smiled back. That was when the Trouble Alert rang.
TtTtTtTt
When the Titans arrived at the scene, Plasmus was about to lumber into a large ally. But before Robin could say his famed "Titans, GO!", there was a triumphant yell and two bolts of white energy came from the ally. Plasmus hollered and stumbled back, two holes in his midsection, but they quickly closed. He roared, lunging into the ally. There was a clattering of what sounded like hooves, and a "Get back!"
"What the...?" Beast Boy started.
"Come on." Robin motioned and they all moved swiftly towards the corner.
What the Titans saw in that ally made their jaws drop, even Raven's. Most notably, was the pure white unicorn, complete with a long, twisted horn and irridescent mane and tail. Not far behind was the girl about their age, golden blonde hair, pale skin, bright green eyes with flecks of shimmery gold. Her outfit was pretty average, minus the fact the that she was in a filthy ally and her all white clothing was still blindingly clean. It was a normal tee-shirt, denim jacket, and skinny jeans tucked into combat boots. An ornate cross hung from a slender chain around her neck. Both horse and girl were cowering in the corner of the ally, fear shining in both of their eyes. Plasmus reached for the unicorn.
"NO!" The girl screamed.
She shocked the Titans even more when she turned red, even her clothes! Her head grew two red devil horns, and her eyes changed to yellow and morphed until they looked cat-like and turned slightly upward. Her nails grew half a inch longer, and turned black and pointy. A tail with a triangular end formed and whipped back and forth. Her lips turned up in a snarl, a long forked tounge flicked across sharp black teeth. To complete the change, a tall, red, three-pronged trident materialized in her hand.
"Dang!" Cyborg said. "I was about to say angel, but now I'm thinking devil!"
The girl sprang forward, slicing Plasmus's outstretched arm off with her trident. Plasmus, surprised at having his whole arm chopped off, moved away from the unicorn.
"That'sssss right!" Her forked tongue made her hiss her s's like a snake. "Back off my friend!"
"Titans, Go!" Robin said, not as loudly as he normally did, but just as effective.
And so the battle began. Both the girl and Robin sliced with their respective weapons. Starfire rained starbolts. Raven used her telekinesis to toss things from the ally. Cyborg blasted with his sonic cannon. Beast Boy changed into a tiger and pounced. Soon, everyone was covered in bits of Plasmus goo (except for the girl, how DID she stay clean?) and an unconscious guy was lying in the middle of it all. There was awkward silence as everyone stood around. The girl changed back to her normal white form, and her trident dissapated.
"Is..is he...dead?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"No, just unconscious." Robin said, flicking a piece of goo out of his his hair. Color returned to her face, and the unicorn trotted over.
"You OK?" She asked it. It seemed to answer with a look. "Oh, good. I thought it was gonna take you!" She gave her unicorn a hug.
Robin cleared his throat. "Well, I'm Robin, and these are the Teen Titans."
"Hey. I'm Cecilia." She shook hands with Robin, Cyborg, and Raven, fist bumped with Beast Boy, and Starfire gave her one of her bone-crushing hugs. While Starfire was squeezing the life out of Cecilia, Beast Boy whispered to Robin.
"Can she come back to the Tower? PLEASEEEE?"
"Beast Boy, we can't just invite everyone with superpowers to come home with us."
"Yes we can."
"NO."
"C'mon, Robin. Can she come back so we can get to know her? Then you can decide?" The changeling pleaded.
"Fine. But I'm making absolutely NO promises."
"Yes!" Beast Boy fist pumped, just as Cecilia was regaining her breath.
'We can never repeat what happened with Terra. Never.' Robin thought.
"Please, tell use who your friend is! I have never seen such a creature!" Starfire said.
Cecilia began to introduce her unicorn with gusto.
"This is Duo." Cecilia said proudly, patting the creature. "Go say hello, Duo."
The unicorn walked straight up to Robin and held out a glossy hoof. Robin cast a nervous glance at Cecilia.
"He wants to shake!" She whispered enthusiastically.
Tentatively, Robin took Duo's hoof in his hand and shook it. Then Duo moved on to the next Titan. When he got to Raven, she rolled her eyes, and gave his hoof a quick shake. Starfire was much more enthusiastic. Not only did she shake his hoof, but the wanted to pet him, too. Cecilia showed Starfire how to stroke Duo's neck, clearly overjoyed at having someone so interested in her unicorn. Robin found himself smiling as he watched. Once Starfire was in a rhythm, Cecilia stepped back.
"So, you want to come back to our crib?" Beast Boy asked Cecilia.
"Really?!" She clasped her hands. "I can?!"
"Sure, Robin says it's ok."
"I'd love too!" then she moved over to Robin. "I'm gonna assume that Duo's not invited, right? He can just hang out in the clouds for a bit." She said low enough so only he could hear.
"Uh, yeah. That would be most ideal." he said even though he had no idea what that meant.
Cecilia walked over to where Starfire was petting Duo's neck with slow, deliberate stokes.
"Can you hang out in the clouds for a bit while the humans talk, buddy." Duo shook his head yes, sending his mane flying.
She gave him a pat, and he took a step back, then flew up into the sky on invisible wings.
"Whoa." Beast Boy said staring at the place where Duo had disappeared into the clouds.
"Um, so, where're we going?" Cecilia said, putting her hands in her pockets.
"To Titans Tower." Robin said. "Follow us."
TA-DA! I'm really proud of this story. If you read my last one, you will notice that sentences didn't even make paragraphs. THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE AN ACTUAL FRICKEN' STORY! I did name Cecilia after myself because:
A: YOLO! and
B: I was figuring out a way to answer the "What kind of superhero would you be?" question and I did not want some weird superhero name.
More will be revealed in the next chappy about Cecilia, her history, powers, and Duo. But after that one is up and you still have questions, feel free to PM me. Please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
