Life in the Fast Lane

Chpt 1

1:42 am

I walked about, searching for the Titans Tower. Which, is pretty easy to find, considering it is a gigantic 'T' in the middle of the water. But if your stupid computer messes up the coordinates from the time you brought your water next to it, then it's tough.

I finally saw the clue I needed: Cyborg's sonic cannon. Running into a dead end alley, I jumped back and forth against the two buildings until I finally jumped on the roof. This isn't gonna be easy, I thought as I saw the Titans fighting one of the greatest villains of Jump City; Slade. Fortunately, I came at the right time. As Robin tried to roundhouse kick Slade's head off, he disappeared, leaving the Titans, once again, at a loss.

Which was my turn to take the spotlight.

I used my powers to make an ice replica of myself as I laid on the ground.

Then I started to scream, "HELP! HELP! Somebody please help!"

Like my prediction worked, the Titans-well-one of the Titans turned their attention to me.

It was the perfect, beautiful, PATHETIC Starfire.

Her eyes glowed green as she threw star bolts at my clone. Soon, my replica began to fade away, turn into atoms and went inside me.

I stood up. Facing Star was one of the tasks I had. I walked up to her, only two feet apart.

She asks me, "Are you the okay, stranger?"

I made ice blades and flung them at her. Direct hit. Target locked.

As Robin, and his idiotic mind ran to Starfire, who was frozen yelled, "Who are you? SHOW YOURSELF!" He practically screamed like a girl.

Then I realized that I still had my hoodie on. I took it off to reveal myself to the bird boy.

There was I, an African American chick with ice blue hair, eyes and lips. My curly braided hair up in a high ponytail still cascaded all the way down to my lower back. My clothes, however, were ever more out of the ordinary. I wore a ninja like outfit that was ice blue with white stripes. The pants reached only above my ankles.

"Me?" I whispered, "I'm your worst nightmare." I created thousands of ice spears and target locked the Titans.

After the Titans dodged all the spears, they realized I was gone.

"Who was that girl?" Raven asked.

"I don't know. But I do know for sure that we need to take Star into the Medical Bay." Cyborg informed.

As the five left for the Tower, I followed in the shadows for my next attack.

6:45 pm

Being over twelve hours from spying over the Titans, I read over my plan:

1) Freeze Starfire for distraction

2) Destroy Cyborg anonymously

As I nodded to myself about the next victim, I heard someone walking outside. It was Beast Boy taking out the trash. I decided that was my time to introduce myself.

I walked from behind a bush and asked, "Who are you?"

Beast Boy screamed, "Gah! What? When? Who? Where?"

"Uh…hi?"

He fixed his posture and nervously rubbed the back of his neck, "Hey! I've never seen you before. New 'round here?"

I hesitated, "…No, just not that famous, ya know?"

"I see. So what's your name?"

"It's," I paused. What could be my fake hero name? Ice Queen, Frostine, Water Control? I threw out the name I could only think of at the last minute.

"My name is Lynx."

My real name. Great job of hiding my identity!

"Cool. My name's Beast Boy."

"Formally from Doom Patrol, now in Teen Titans. Dude, I know."

His ears perked up. Oh great, I should've never said 'dude'.

Now he started to go crazy, "DUDE! I had no idea you knew that! Are you related to Bumble Bee or Cyborg or something?"

"No."

"Oh. Wait. Do you even have powers? 'Cause to me, you just look like a ninja with blue hair."

I clenched my teeth, feeling insulted, "Yes I do have powers. Plus, people say I look nice in this. There's not exactly any other costume I like."

"Ooookay. What is your power?" Beast Boy threw the trash in the garbage bin.

"I'll show you," I lifted my hand up, facing the ocean that surrounded the island. Then I balled my hand into the a fist.

Making the ocean frozen.

Beast Boy eyes widened, "Lynx, that's totally amazing! I have to introduce you to the rest of the team!"

"What?" I stepped back, "I don't know…"

"Oh come on! I mean, you are one of us!"

"How?"

"You're a superhero, of course!" Before I knew it, we were in the tower.

It was bigger than I expected. A gigantic flat screen TV, two huge couches, a kitchen with an island and a breakfast bar…

"Nice place you got here." I criticized.

Beast Boy shook his head, "Thanks, but it's not that nice when Rob makes you pay part of the rent."

I laughed, "Dude, you're funny!"

Beast Boy went to Raven, who was reading on the couch, "See Rae? She thinks I'm funny!"

Raven turned a page of her book, "Like I said when Blackfire was here: Someone has to."

Beast Boy frowned at the empath and walked back to me, "Well that's Rae-"

"Raven." Raven scowled.

"-ven, Star's over there making…Star what are you making?"

Starfire sniffed at the red-greenish goopy substance, "It is Tameranean soup. I made it because I thought it will help me ge-ah AH-CHOO! Get rid of the cold."

Robin came from the main hallway and into the kitchen, holding a box full of tissues, "Here, Star. Remember to bring these with you at all times, even during battle."

"Ok, Robin," Starfire whispered as she blew her nose into a tissue.

I cocked an eyebrow, "What's going on, Beast?" Robin stared at me. More like glared. Death glared.

"Beast Boy," Robin asked, "Who's this?"

Beast Boy furrowed his eyebrow, "This is Lynx. Lynx, this is Robin."

I walked to him, "Richard Grayson," I folded my arms, "And in flesh? I thought I had lost you in that fight."

Robin stared into my eyes. It was kinda freaky, so I gave him some more clues.

"You know," I continued, "Batman? Gotham? Young Heroes High School?"

Still nothing.

I sighed, "I was the girl you had to fight against in Physical/Mental Education!"

Now it came to him. His mask stretched out, meaning obviously he remembered.

"Lynx! It's been years since I've seen you!" Robin smiled toothily.

Raven rubbed her temples, "Careful, Boy Blunder. More excitement from you and you'll explode."

Oh course, Starfire became frightened, "What? Robin cannot explode from pure happiness! He just can't!"

"It's a joke, Star." Robin turned back to me, "So how's it going?"

"It's alright, I guess. Fighting bad guys, saving a baby once in a while, you know, the usual." I rolled my eyes as I lied to the leader.

Robin folded his arms, "Great. Life here is chaos!"

"That's because you guys are big time superheroes! The city loves you guys." I laughed.

He smirked. "You've been different since last time I saw you. New hair?"

"Yeah. You can say that," I fiddled with my now unbraided, shoulder length hair, "What happened to your hair? Got hooked on gel or something?"

He rubbed his sticky hair, "….no."

"Let me fix it." I rubbed his hair down to the style he wore when he was with Batsy himself, "Hmm. Somebody needs a haircut!"

"Shut up! Since you're here….How about a rematch?"

"A rematch?" I laughed, "You know I'm gonna win this time, Richard!"

"You're just scared I might beat you again."

"You were just lucky my powers hadn't kicked in yet."

"Okay!" Robin grabbed my arm, "Ready?"

"Ready. Beast," Beast Boy's ears perked up, "Raven." Raven closed her book and looked at me, "You two are on my team."

Beast Boy jumped in the air, "Yes!"

Raven smirked, "My leader's about to get beaten by his old schoolmate. Oh joy."

Robin frowned at the thought, "I guess Cyborg and Star are on my team. Lets do this."

"Alright, lets head over to the Practice Rink!" Beast Boy yelled as Raven, Starfire and I flew to the Practice Rink as Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy followed.
