Meet The Titans

The tale of the New Teen Titans was said to have started when a ten year old Carolanne Logan took off the necklace she always wore. She was going to take a shower and decided to remove it. Usually she left it on but on this particular day she decided to remove it. She slid it over her head and placed it on the counter and what she saw in the mirror nearly gave her a heart attack.

Her normally brown eyes were purple, her black hair was also purple, her ears were pointed like and elf's and most shockingly her skin was green. After the initial shock she proceeded to scream until her parents came in thinking she was being attacked. Upon seeing their daughter in her current state they were forced to explain. Her necklace was no ordinary necklace. It was a holographic necklace, concealing her true appearance.

Her two brothers and all the children of her parent's friends soon discovered they too had altered appearances. This was surely the beginning but most definitely not the end.

The next strange occurrence happened several years later. Lucky West, the fourteen year old daughter of Wally West and Jenny Hexington, was stretching. She was about to race in a huge event that involved high schools from many different cities.

Lucky bent down and surveyed her laces. They were all tied. She took one last deep breath before getting in to position. The starting gun was shot and Lucky sped off. Everything was normal until she decided to put on a burst of speed. Her surroundings were changing suddenly and she didn't understand. She put on the brakes and came to a skiddering halt.

She was no longer in Song City that was for sure. Towering buildings surrounded her. She recognized the large T-shaped building nestled atop a nearby island and realised that she had to be in Jump city. Which was quite a distance from where she had been.

Panic started to manifest itself in her stomach but she quickly squelched it and set off in the direction of one of her friends' houses. She took to studying the city instead of dwelling on how the hell she had gotten there in the first place.

She reached the Logan's house and reached underneath the large freaky turtle for the spare key. She unlocked the door and kicked off her ruined running shoes. (Somehow the soles had been completely eroded.) She tossed the key on the kitchen counter and grabbed the phone.

"Hey dad."

"Lucky is that you? Oh thank God! We were so worried! Where are you? Are you okay?" Lucky let out a sigh.

"I'm fine. I'm at the Logan's. Can you come and get me? And uh please come alone."

"Of course I'll be there right away." Lucky hung up the phone and threw open the cupboard door. She perused the assortment of vegetarian snacks with disgust. Finally she found a bag of regular chips. She snatched them and flung herself onto the sofa. She grabbed the remote and began channel surfing.

Not too long later the door opened to reveal her dad. He rushed forward and pulled her into a hug. After that he made her explain what had happened. There was a moment of complete silence. Finally he took a deep breath and looked straight into her eyes.

``Lucky you have a special ability." Her eyes bugged.

"What?! Are you kidding me!? This is mental! Are you trying to tell me that I'm some sort of freak?! The kids all ready think I'm a loser because of my pink hair but now! What am I going to do!?" Her dad looked a little harassed.

"Luck, relax. There is nothing wrong with you. There is no need to flip out." She folded her arms and glared at him.

"Easy for you to say! You can't run from Song to Jump in less than a second!" Her dad's eye twitched.

"Lucky", he said with painful restraint, "calm down. You don't exactly have to go around broadcasting this to everyone. Though you will have to quit the track team." Lucky was about to relax until he mentioned the quitting part.

"What! Are you joking! There is no way..."

Wally West was in for a long car ride home.

Lucky did end up keeping it a secret. Not a single person at Song City high school could understand why the star of the track team had quit. But she had. She didn't even tell her twin brother Evan about it. Though no one was really shocked about that. She never told him anything. It would have been more of a shock if she had told him.

Her fifteenth birthday passed and the end of ninth grade arrived. Lucky, Evan, her parents nor anyone else could have predicted what this summer would bring.


It was a bright, hot June day and Jump City was bustling with activity. One of the many people crowding the sidewalks was a fifteen year old girl with long, wavy pink hair, matching eyebrows and brilliant blue eyes. Lucky West grabbed the handle of her suitcase in one hand and slung her bag over her shoulder.

The heels of her little pink boots clicked on the sidewalk and her pink scarf ruffled in the warm breeze. Her blue eyes scanned the street looking for a certain someone. Her eyes landed on him and she half-ran towards him, dragging her suitcase along with her bag swinging dangerously.

"Hey Russ! You miss me? Course you did!" She said with a laugh throwing her arm around Russell Stone's shoulders with one leg raised. He made no move to hug her back and she rolled her eyes before letting him go. His hands were stuffed in his pockets and he was staring off into the distance.

"Where's Evan?" She rolled her eyes.

"Somewhere. He'll find us eventually." She said waving her hand through the air.

"Now come on. I don't want to be late." She turned on her heel and started fighting her way through the throng of people. Russell gave one last look for Evan before turning and following her.

They didn't speak the entire time and Lucky couldn't help but glare at him. They had grown up around each other but ever since his sixteenth birthday he had changed. Just because he was sixteen and had a driver's license he seemed to think he was too cool for the rest of them. The only other person who ever complained about it was Carolanne and that was probably because they were closer than any of the others.

Lucky quickly opened the door to the diner and slipped inside. Every summer the Wests came to visit and every time all of the kids gathered at this very diner. She manuvered through the tables to their usual one in the back. When she arrived she saw all of her "friends" sitting there. They may have grown up together but most of them never really got along.

Fourteen year old Brenden Logan was sitting on the edge of the booth. His mouth was pulled into a smirk with his fang sticking out the side as his emerald eyes followed a scantily clad waitress around. His violet hair was ruffled in what he probably thought was a sexy way. His white fang contrasted rather well with his grey skin. Next to him sat his twin Mark.

Mark's black hood was pulled over his face covering his violet eyes, emerald hair and fang. His hands were in his pockets so that none of his grey skin was visible. On his other side fifteen year old Ror'i Grayson sat examining her finger nails. Her black hair waved down her back, half covering the tattoo on her left shoulder. Her dark sapphire eyes held zero interest as she stared at her black nails. One of her hands picked at her fish net tights and one of her clunky black boots tapped on the ground. Her orangey skin gave her the look of a tan gone wrong.

Her twin Mar'i sat beside her. The sunlight filtering in from a window lit up her straight flaming red hair. Her happy bright green eyes glowed as she talked. Seventeen year old Bruce Grayson sat beside her. His face was serious. His eye, skin and hair colour all matched his younger sister Ror'i's. His hair was spiked with gel. Giving his head a rather dangerous look.

Sitting on the other edge was sixteen year old Carolanne Logan. Her amethyst eyes glittered as a wide smile stretched across her face. She tucked a strand of purple hair behind her ear revealing a pointy ear. Her pale green skin was attracting a fair shade of attention but she seemed to be ignoring it. Suddenly she leapt up.

"Hey Lucky! Russ!" She shouted waving energetically. Lucky gave a small wave in return and moved over to the table. She stopped in front of Brenden and glared.

"Scoot." He turned and scowled at her but complied. Confusion filled Carolanne's gaze.

"Where's Evan?" Lucky rolled her eyes.

"Coming." Carolanne looked like she was going to ask more when the door opened with a crash. All their eyes turned to watch Evan West trip into the diner. He pulled himself up and smacked into a table knocking over someone's water.

"I'm so sorry!" He tried to help but slipped in the puddle and landed on his butt. He grabbed the tablecloth to haul himself up but ended up yanking it off the table along with their food. His eyes widened in horror and he tried desperately to help but he kept slipping and sliding all over the place. A waitress hurried over to help but he crashed into her causing them both to topple over. He scrambled up and offered her a hand but she just yelled at him to go sit down. He ran to their table but tripped over a chair leg and smashed his face into the table top. He sunk onto the ground.

Lucky buried her head in embarrassment while Carolanne leapt up in horror.

"Oh my God! Evan, are you alright?" She screamed dashing to his side. He let out a groan as she examined him. Lucky couldn't believe her brother. It wasn't fair. Everyone knew immediately that they were related simply because of their matching pink hair. Ugh the blue eyes also helped but the hair was the definite point.

"You're bleeding! Oh no! Does anybody have a band-aid?" Carolanne said in panic. Lucky, with her face still hidden, pulled a tin of band-aids from her bag and handed them to Carolanne. She quickly set about applying them to his head. When she was done, she lightly kissed the bandaged spot.

"There all better." Carolanne grinned and helped him into the spot next to her. With that the group chatted and ate. There were of course a few mishaps caused by the king of klutziness, Evan, but all in all it went well. Well, for a while.

There was a huge explosion from across the street that caused Mar'i to squeal and Evan to topple out of his seat. Bruce leapt to his feet and charged outside. The others soon followed most voicing complaints.

"Why the hell do we always have to follow my stupid self-righteous brother? If he wants to get himself killed we should let him." Ror'i inquired as strolled outside.

"I completely agree with you. I mean I love a little excitement but I think I'll pass on dealing with giant explosions." When they arrived outside they found Bruce facing what looked like a giant, glowing, floating pink blob.

"What in the hell is that?" Lucky said with her eyebrows raised.

"No bloody idea." Brenden answered with his eyes popping.

"Is it just me or does he look like he plans on fighting it?" Carolanne said nervously. Ror'i rolled her eyes.

"Even he wouldn't be that dumb...Alright forget I said that. Apparently he is that dumb." They all watched in horrified fascination as Bruce charged towards it. The thing let out a pink burst that seemed to ricochet off of him.

"Well apparently that thing is pretty pointless." Brenden said sauntering towards it. There was another pink burst and Brenden was sent soaring through the air with a very high pitched shriek. Just before he hit the ground he landed on a strange black disc.

"What the..." They all turned to see Mark with his arm extended towards Brenden seemingly controlling the black disc. Brenden looked to be on the verge of a panic attack when Mark released him and he toppled into the dirt. The pink blob then sent a laser of pink energy towards Lucky who zoomed out of its way. Ror'i caught a car with her bare hands and Carolanne managed to generate a force field around them all.

They were all staring at each other in shock. Before any of them could speak, Carolanne was sent hurtling through the air. She landed on top of Evan and sent them both to the ground.

"Nice catch." She said smiling at him. He tried to grin but it came out as more of a grimace.

"Behind here!" Bruce shouted at them. They all quickly took cover behind the dumpster.

"Alright we need a plan."

"And who died and made you leader?" Lucky demanded. He ignored her and ploughed on.

"Mark can you maybe use that black energy of yours to trap it? Good. Alright Lucky you can distract it with your speed and then Mark can trap it"

"Um I don't remember signing up to be the bait." Bruce let out a breath.

"Just do it." Lucky glared at him and seemed like she was planning on arguing when the dumpster exploded. They all screamed and Brended dived behind Mar'i.

"Go Lucky!" Lucky ran out in front of it.

"Hey! You there! Pink thing! Yeah over here! Hah you can't catch me! Na na na na! Am I too quick for you? Ha ha!" Lucky passed by and gave a hurry the hell up look in their direction. Mark stepped out and let black energy swirl around him and then it shot forward and engulfed the blob. The others crept out from their hiding place.

"Well thank goodness that's over." Carolanne said. The others all nodded.


"So what abilities do you have exactly?" Lucky asked the room at large. Ror'i was the first to answer.

"I have super strength and I can shoot lasers from my eyes."

"Freak." Brenden muttered.

"Do you want to say that a little louder?"

"Sure-" Carolanne clamped a hand over his mouth.

"I have the ability to fly. And I have most recently discovered that I can shoot the laser balls from my hands." Mar'i supplied. Everyone turned to the third Grayson.

``I have a high tolerance for heat, cold and other things. My skin is very tough."

"Well I can make force fields and change into animals. Well only ones that can't fly."Carolanne said.

"My abilities are none of your concern." Mark said quietly.

"Yeah what he said." Brenden said loudly.

"I guess you already figured this one out but I can run really fast. Like uber fast." Lucky said staring at her feet.

"I have no abilities though I do have some sick gadgets." Russell said grinning.

"I can't do anything." Evan murmured.

"Don't worry Evan. I'm sure you'll find something soon." Carolanne said encouragingly. There was silence until.

"We should make a team! Like the Teen Titans! We could be the New Teen Titans! We could even live in their old tower!"

"No freaking way! Are you mental?"

"Hey I bet a teen titan could pick up a lot of chicks."

"That sounds most wondrous."

"You people are idiots."

"I think we should."

"Erm okay."

"Booyah baby! Here we come!"
