Teen Titans

Number 13

Dark Rose dropped her seeds. Willing them to grow and take root on the hard pavement. Not before long Mammoth of the Hive Five was restrained and then thrown by a vine that was as big as tree trunk. She was about to pick the python vine seed when she was side swiped by bleeding Heart the girl that took over long after Jinx left. The vampiress stopped in front of Rose.

"You know my little flower this is all for you. Ya' see darlin' I got my hands on Poison Ivy's personal diary it said that you were her daughter. That you were an embryo when you were placed in that pod. Then you were born a tiny little green flower child. But what I found most interesting is that you create an enzyme that can protect one from the power of the sun. You my dear Rose hold the cure to the vampire race's weakness to the sun, our little rampage down Main Street Jump City was a diversion to, Draw. You. Out. Gizmo freeze the bitch; "she said as a surprised Dark Rose was sprayed down with liquid nitrogen.

The whole Titans team targeted Bleeding Heart and Gizmo. Raven, Jinx, Batgirl, Red X, And Static rushed at the Hive Five leader to save their comrade, But Bleeding Heart shadow ported her and her whole team into their getaway van.

The Titans gave chase, Raven and Static flying, and Red X, Batgirl, and Jinx on their motorcycles. The seventh member of their team is a non-combatant, and he came over the headsets they were all wearing to keep in touch.

"Uh, guys your being followed and he's keeping up in fact he's gaining. "Said Gear almost in a panic.

"Calm down Gear, I don't see anyone. Do you guys see anyone?" Asked Static from his vantage point him or Raven could see anyone approaching.

"Nope, got nothing Gear."Said Batgirl.

"Same. What about you Rae my dear? "Said Jinx shooting the question up to her empathic girlfriend.

"No Gear I don't sense nothing out of the ordinary, X what about you?" Said Raven In her usual calm voice.

"I don't have anything either Gear, maybe your tech is screwing up;"Said Red X, his electronically modulated voice dripping sarcasm.

"My tech does not screw up… It just malfunctions. That's beside the point. He seems to be wearing some really advanced tech something I've never seen before. It took me like 45 seconds to notice his stealth cloak;" said Gear into their headsets.

The Titans are now gaining on the Hive Five getaway van when they hear Gear shout.

"There he is he just de-cloaked!"

At this time the Titans saw him, a man in a highly advanced battle suit. It was black with glowing green conduits leading from the back of the helmet down the spine where it branched out to the rest of his body. He held in each of his hand a bright green curved dagger. He landed on top of the getaway van and began to can open his way into the van.

Raven recognized the suit immediately but said nothing. She watched as he continued what he was doing.

"Ya'll gonna help me save your friend or are ya just gonna stand there gawkin?" Said the mysterious young man into their headsets. His deep southern drawl was heavy and placed him at about 17

"Who are you?"Asked Jinx suspiciously.

"Axel me petite, Axel 13. At yo' service miss. Now if'n you don't mind I have a young lady to rescue;" he said digging his energy blades deeper into the van.

"Rae it's my turn to say it remember?" Said Jinx enthusiastically.

"Why are we still saying that anyway?"Asked Raven dourly.

"Because its fun, and you know you love saying it too sourpuss." Said Jinx with a saucy wink

"Okay, your right it is fun. Go for it Jinxy dear." She said with a small chuckle.

"Teen Titans Go!" Shouted Jinx at the top of her voice.

"Heh now ain't that cute ya'll got a battle cry. Well how'bout some southern comfort!" He shouted as he pulled the top of the van like a sardine can and jumped in.

Jinx, Batgirl, and Red X flanked the van on three sides. While Static and Raven flew above incase in the mayhem inside the van caused it to crash.

First Mammoth was thrown out the right side of the van, and then Gizmo came flying out of the top and careened into a building, Seemore was next out the left. At least he was smart enough to tuck and roll on the way out. He was caught seconds later by Kyd Wykid who had teleported out just in the nick of time. Finally Axel 13 leapt out of the hole he had created in the roof of the van carrying two feminine shapes one unmoving and clad in green the other kicking and screaming obscenities at the top of her lungs. He landed and three cycle Titans pulled up just in time to see the van explode. Raven and Static landed soon after.

"Man you are one badass dude. Where did you come from?" Asked Static in awe

"Well, I'm from New Orleans. The place I was born called me Subject 13. Yeah my family was not big on names." Smiled Axel his suit morphing into a fedora hat followed by a green button down shirt and black tie. The change flowed down forming black jeans and black dress boots. He had long black and dark green hair pulled back tight into a pony tail pointed ears and when he smiled his canines were slightly longer than normal. On his face on the left side he had green tribal like markings.

"I knew it you're an Elf. I knew I recognized that technology before." Raven said taking in Alex un-armored.

"I, my dear dark lady, am a lab rat any resemblance to an elf I have must be a result of my creation." Axel smiled charmingly.

"That suit you are wearing can only bond with someone of Elvin decent." She continued stating more of her vast knowledge on the races of other dimensions.

"Well I guess that makes me a half-elf then. Hm, been wondering about these funny marks on my face meant." He said rubbing the side of his face.

Rose chose this moment to regain lucidity.

"Did I hear you correctly you were born in a lab?" she asked

"Yeah, that makes him the perfect match for you pod bitch!" Screeched Bleeding Heart.

"Ma'am are you okay, can you stand?" Alex asked Rose.

"Yes I'm fine just a little cold." She said through chattering teeth.

"Then please do so while I proceed to bend this young hussy over my knee and whip her ass proper like her mother should've." He said doing exactly that until Bleeding Heart stilled and the police arrived.

"I'm gonna get you Axel 13! You'll rue the day you ever spanked me!" Ranted Bleeding Heart.

"Come on back if'n ya want'cha ass spanked again." He laughed well naturedly.

"So, you were born in a lab?"Said Rose her green cheeks growing darker with a blush.

"Yes, Ma'belle I was, and what's your name shugga?" He asked flirtatiously eliciting another blush from Rose

"Rose. I was born in a lab too." She said

"Well, it is my opinion that hydroponically grown roses smell sweeter that the ones that grow wild." Chuckled Axel while all the other Titans sweat dropped from the whole display.

"Was I that bad when I was flirting with you?" Asked Jinx looking appalled.

"No Jinx you were worse, He hasn't started the outright innuendo part yet. You skipped this stage and steamrolled right into innuendo." Said Raven shamelessly.

"Well I am a take no prisoners and take charge kinda girl, and you are real calm and sincere with your emotions even when you are scary. That's what makes us a great couple." Said Jinx hugging Raven close and quickly parting when Rose and Axel walked up to them.

"Don't get all embarrassed on my account. The way I see it you love who you love little stuff like gender, race, religion, or even species shouldn't matter." Said Axel warmly.

"He says he has nowhere to go can he stay with us at least for a little while?" Asked Rose.

" I don't know honey I want impose on these fine ladies hospitality. I'm sure they don't want no strange drifter living in their house."

There was a long pause then Raven and Jinx looked at each other and nodded. Some agreement seemed to pass between them and they stepped up to him.

"Then make it your home too. You can have Beast-Boy's old room."Said Raven with a wicked twinkle in her eyes.

"Yeah, welcome to the Teen Titans Axel 13." Said Jinx patting him on the back and walking away with Raven.

"You are so evil." Whispered Jinx

"I know."Smiled Raven.

"I love it." The whispered conversation continued from Jinx

"I know you do." Chuckled Raven quietly
