Welcome to my first Fic! This first chapter has nothing to do with anything really, just me trying to figure out a writing style i'm comfortable with? Please let me know what you think, i'll be posting more- but it may be pretty sporadic... I dont have a home computer. so just enjoy this first attempt at TT fanfic writing!

1: Kitty-kitty

The Titans were patrolling. Each member found a remote corner to survey quietly as the shadows cast by the moon crept across the empty city streets. Robin was as still as the sleeping city, enjoying the peace brought on by night. The cool breeze slipped past him and made him feel at ease. He was thinking of a poem, or was it a line from a song?

Silence,
And deeper silence-
When the crickets
Hesitate.

He couldn't place it. Starfire stepped over the edge of a tall building and floated down along its western wall without any sound, admiring the beauty in the particularly old building's architecture. The delicate care put into the most minute details reminded her of her first home. She ran her fingers over the face of a century old stained glass window, the many colors and strange curving angles fascinated her. She wondered what the building was for. She backed away and made a mental note of the location and general description to ask Robin later.

Cyborg was alone in the tower. The only light in the large and empty space came from the three LCD computer screens in front of him. He sipped on his coffee as he watched the small icons representing his friends lazily drift across the blue and white maps on the display. He checked the time. About ten til midnight. He watched the icon with a purple and black R disappear and reappear several blocks away. He smirked. Its cool how she does that. He was a little jealous of that power.

Beast Boy was looking to waste his last ten minutes in any way that would make it go buy faster. He was just miserable with boredom. He looked over the edge of the old housing development he was perched on. This neighborhood was built back when the city was expanding faster than it could accommodate. Shoddy construction projects sprung up left and right and began falling apart after only a few years use. He spotted a very young tabby cat down below, mewling for its mother. It didn't take long for a stray dog to take notice, and Beast Boy couldn't help himself. He jumped off the ledge and fell a few feet before turning into a bird and swooping down at the dog. It yelped in surprise and retreated to its alley.

Robin opened his communicator and checked the time. Midnight. Time to head home. He hit a button and Starfire came on the screen.

"Greetings Robin! Is our patrol over already?" He smiled at his communicator.

"Yeah Star, will you come get me?"

"I will be there soon." She flashed one last radiant smile and ended the transmission. He was eager to get back. Starfire would have a question about something she'd seen and Cyborg would probably have coffee made. He finally allowed himself to think about his comfy bed.

Raven loomed over the edge of the old courthouse- now a museum- and watched the massive clock hands turn slowly. She listened as the bells tolled midnight. What a nice sound, she thought. She gave the city one last long glance as the bells screamed into the darkness and echoed through every avenue. All at once she arrived back in the ops room.

Cyborg spilled a few splashes of his coffee when Raven appeared in front of him unexpectedly. His initial surprise faded quickly and he welcomed her back with an offer to make tea. "How was patrol? " he asked as he boiled the water.

Raven took a seat at the island. "Not awful. It was quiet at least. How was the tower?"

Cyborg shrugged. "Not awful." He playfully replied as he collected a coffee mug from the dishwasher. "Nobody reported any truly dastardly evil afoot, though BB did contact animal control a few minutes ago." Raven raised an eyebrow and grinned just ever so slightly. "I know!" He said with a chuckle, "it's every night with this kid."

"It's just a matter of time before he starts bringing home-" Raven stopped as Beast Boy entered holding a small tabby kitten. She glanced at Cyborg who was trying not to laugh at her unintentional clairvoyance. She ran her hand over her face with an exasperated sigh.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Beast Boy sauntered in nonchalantly, as though he hadn't even noticed he was holding the kitten.

"Not much BB." Cyborg dead-panned, "whose your friend?" Beast Boy chuckled nervously.

"Oh, heh- who, this?" He said, acknowledging the little kitten at last. "She... doesn't have a name yet." The nameless animal was sleeping and purring contentedly in Beast Boy's arms. He gave his team mates a slightly pleading look as they made their silent judgments regarding the new pet.

Cyborg looked at the cat a little closer. "It's so... ADORABLE!" He said happily. "Can I hold her? Please please?" He held out his robotic hands expectantly.

"Yes! I knew you'd understand Cy!" Beast Boy passed the cat and looked at Raven excitedly. "What about you Rae? Wanna come meet the newest Titan?" She sighed and floated next to Cyborg, who was holding the cat to his cheek and grinning ear-to-ear.

"She's cute Beast Boy," this made him look even more hopeful. Raven frowned. "But I doubt Robin wants any more pets." She gave him an apologetic look and ran her two fore fingers down the kitten's back.

"But she has no home!" He cried defensively, "she was all alone and almost got eaten by a stray dog tonight, I couldn't just leave her there!"

Cyborg handed the kitten over to Raven and looked at Beast Boy sadly. "Well why didn't you just hand her over to animal control? There are plenty of no-kill shelters around here." Beast Boy looked at him with a hurt look.

"I knew you wouldn't understand..." he grumbled. Raven was holding the kitten and cooing 'kitty-kitty' when it looked up at her and mewed. The other two Titans could be heard coming up the hallway.

"It sounds like it was probably a-" The leader of the Titans stopped his explanation and stared at Raven, or rather, the baby kitten she was cuddling. "Uh... a cat?" Starfire exploded in laughter.

"I know what a cat is Robin!" She giggled, "this was a building with colorful glass and- Oh! A cat!" She floated over to Raven's side, completely forgetting the building dilemma. "How wonderfully loveable! Please, may I hold it?" She asked excitedly. Beast Boy's eyes lit up. Robin can say no to him, but Star was another story.

"Of course you can Star!" He said with a little too much enthusiasm, "Just make sure to be really gentle..." he added. Starfire nodded and took the little cat into her arms, petting it lovingly.

"So..." Robin stood next to Starfire, inspecting the animal as it batted at her hair playfully. "Beast Boy, I'm guessing this was your idea?" The authority in his tone, though softened by Starfire's reaction, was still like an unhappy parent. He stared at his teammate with crossed arms waiting for an explanation.

"Well... it wasn't really an idea... I just found her and... she's so cute dude! How could I send her off to the shelter? The other cats are bigger and they'd be mean! There was this big dog and then they came and took it away and I just decided that she needed to come home with me instead and so..." he gave Robin his best puppydog eyes. "So please can we keep her?" He pleaded in a small voice.

All the Titans looked at Robin. A high pitched whistle sounded from the kitchen. Cyborg jumped up. "That's the tea!" He said, happy to leave before Robin crushed Beast Boy's kitten-loving heart.

"How glorious Robin! The cats of your planet are very much similar to the species my people are descended from!" Robin sighed and furrowed his brow in thought.

Starfire was already completely infatuated with her evolutionary ancestor, and nobody seemed too averted to having another pet. He liked cats as well, and considered that fact while lightly scratched behind its fluffy ears. "We'll... does anyone have any cat allergies?"

Beast Boy exploded in excitement. "We can keep her? Yes! I'll take good care of her and get everything she needs tonight! Thanks Robin!" With that he sped off towards the door.

He smiled lightly and looked towards his other teammates. "Anyone have a name for her?"

Raven took a dark coffee cup from Cyborg and sipped on it. "She seems to like kitty-kitty." Robin smiled at her statement.

"All cats are called by kitty-kitty."

"We could call her T'kasi'dovarakisi-Mabiye'skyesn'!" The Titans gave Starfire an odd look. "It is a common name for pets on my planet... But I also like Raven's idea!" She added cheerfully.

"Well alright! Kitty-kitty it is!" Cyborg pointed his fist at the table and held down a button causing a harmless common red laser to appear in front of kitty-kitty. Starfire giggled joyously as kitty-kitty skittered out of her lap and pounced on it.

Robin was re-explaining to Starfire what a church is for when Beast Boy arrived with supplies and they all went to bed.
