Chapter 2: Wayne High
"Yeah! We are gonna party all night every night when we get there! Wayne High School is goin' to rock!" Beast Boy yelled in the T-Car. He was sitting in the passenger seat right next to Cyborg who was concentrating hard on his driving. Cyborg was trying to keep up with Robin on the R-Cycle. It was raining out and was really foggy so it was harder to see where they were going. Raven was sitting in the backseat, trying to read her book through the pounding of the rain on the side windows.
"Okay, BB…for the last time, will you please just SHUT UP! I can't concentrate on the road with you blabberin' away!" Cyborg yelled at him.
"I've been trying to do that for half the ride", Raven muttered.
Beast Boy's face turned red as he whispered some swear words and he turned to look out the window. Suddenly his eyes opened extremely wide.
"D-d-dude…" he managed to get out of his mouth.
"Say what? Little man, you've got to—to uhh…" Cyborg stopped the car. Right beside their car was a thick cloud and sitting on top of it was none other than—Element?
In front of them, Robin looked back to see the car parked on the side of the road. He called in Starfire to tell her to come back down the road, but no need to. She was gaping at whatever the T-Car had stopped for. Robin spun around and went towards the thing they were staring at. He realized what they were staring at was a humongous thick cloud and on it was Element, the girl who had invited them to Bruce's new school. He immediately hopped off the R-Cycle to go over and greet her.
"Element? It's Robin! What are you doing here?" Robin asked her.
She turned her head to look at him and smiled. She stood up and jumped off the cloud then snapped her finger and the cloud disappeared.
"Dude! How did you—what just happened! Where'd the cloud go!" Beast Boy yelled in a surprised voice.
"Didn't I tell you? Well—I guess I didn't. I'm a super-" she started but was cut off by Raven saying, "Yeah you told us"
"Okay, fine…sorry…anyways, I'm an elemental human being. Before I found out that I was a super, I was like Robin. I was a martial arts expert and that's what I held onto. My super name was well, actually, Raven. Then, one day I felt a burning sensation in my body. I felt fury, I was literally on fire, but I wasn't a burnt crisp. I figured out I was an elemental, one that can take control and produce the four main elements of Earth: fire, earth, water, and air. I can literally take a ball of air and throw it at someone. It's amazing, but sort of difficult to live with. Sometimes, I just don't feel like being Element, the wonder girl with powers over well, elements. It's hard to hold onto my powers, once in a while I wish that I could be normal, but now that I've seen how many people are supers, I kind of don't feel that way at all. Does that answer your question?" she asked Beast Boy.
He blushed and then turned to face Robin.
"So, Robin. What do we do now? It's all foggy and we can't make our way through!" he yelled.
"Um…hello? I can help! Watch how cool this is!" Element said happily.
"By the power of the water…by the power of the air…Ahashana Haisu!" she yelled loudly. All of a sudden, the fog disappeared and the rain had stopped. The sky cleared up and in the center of the road was Element, standing with her hands on her hips and wearing a big smile.
"Whoa", Raven muttered.
The other Titans were staring at the sky, wondering how all the rain had gone along with the fog.
"So, Titans, shouldn't we get going? Bruce is waiting…" Element said.
"Titans, c'mon let's go!" Robin beckoned. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven went back into the T-Car, Robin hopped back onto the R-Cycle, Starfire flew back into the air, and Element grabbed a rock to ride so she could lead the way.
It had been almost an hour until they arrived at a large building. They stepped onto the front porch leading into the main hall. On the side wall were thick gold letters that spelled out, 'WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL FOR SUPERS'. Robin nodded his head in exception as Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy examined the room with 'Ooh!'s and 'Aah!'s. Raven just stood there acting as bored and Goth as usual. Element opened her arms wide and said to the others, "Yup, this is home".
"So, Element, where's Bruce? Have any idea?" Robin asked curiously.
"Why, hello, Richard, my boy! How are you doing?" Bruce asked behind him and turned Robin around so they could be face to face.
"Bruce! So good to see you! I'm doing well. Titans, this is my step-dad, Bruce Wayne. Bruce, these people are my friends and my partners, the Teen Titans. This is Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, and you know Element" Robin greeted Bruce.
"You can call me Bruce, Mr. Wayne, or Batman. Bruce, before and after school hours, Mr. Wayne during school hours, and Batman while in costume, got it?" Bruce said with a smile.
"Sir, yes, sir! As long as we get to fight the weirdo bad guys in this school, we're on it!" Beast Boy said acting as though he were a navy flight attendant.
Bruce laughed and then cleared his throat. "Beast Boy, remember that there will be no fights between the good and the bad", he said.
"Mr. Wayne! Mr. Wayne! There's a tall guy named Aqua Lad on the phone! Could you come answer it, please!" yelled a boy from the other end of the room. He was tall, thin, and handsome. He was a light brunette and he was wearing a green jacket with roughed up jeans. Next to her was unmistakably Kitten, the girl who went to the dance with Robin.
"No…she—she can't be here!" Robin exclaimed.
"You mean Kitten? Totally! She's a freak and so annoying! She also thinks I'm her best friend and I'm stuck with her. She's in all of my classes and it really stinks for me! I can't believe her! Robin, you know her?" Element asked.
"Sadly, yes, I do", Robin muttered.
"Haha! He even went on a date with her!" Cyborg laughed out.
"A date! Wow, that must have been pretty horrible!" Element said.
"It was", Robin added.
Unfortunately for Robin, the other Titans, and Element, Kitten managed to come over and yet again, ruin their lives.
"Robbie poo! Starfire. EL! Hey, girl! What's happening!" Kitten screamed.
"Kitten, don't ever say that again. Oh yeah, and his name is Robin, not Robbie poo and don't be rude. Here are the other Titans, you know Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy. Kitten, be a good person, to us all, and leave!" Element shouted.
"Ellie! You don't have to be so rude! We are all good friends! Besides, Robbie poo, Fang and I have decided to go on with our lives, so I'm free forever! Come here and give me a big smooch!" Kitten yelled.
"You know, Kitten. I think somewhere out in the world there is a boy who's dying to meet you somewhere very, very far away. Maybe like in China or something, okay? Get that, Kitten!" Element managed to get through gritted teeth.
"Oh my gosh, Ellie! It feels like you're trying to like get like rid of me or like something! Anyways, Robbie poo is the only one for me!" Kitten said and giggled as she took Robin's hand. He quickly pulled away.
"Listen—umm, Kitten," Robin started politely, "I just don't like you that way…at all. I really like someone else."
"Oh yeah! WHO!" she screamed through fake tears.
"Uh…well, uhh…" Robin started.
"I'm leaving. Anyone want to come? Except Kitten that is…" Element asked.
"We're all in…except Kitten", Starfire added with an evil-like smile.
"Ellie! Star-star! Robbie poo! Beastie! Cybo! Rae-rae! I can't believe you all don't want me to come! This really sucks! Why can't you just like let me come! Don't you like want me to?" Kitten begged.
"Two words, Kitten. Go away. You better leave us alone, or I'll tell Eric that you're a wimp!" Element told her.
"Eric?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yeah, he's the kid that you heard scream to Bruce. Kitten totally crushes him, but I mean, he only likes all the cute girls, and he definitely hates Kitten…" Element told them.
"He does not! He so likes me!" Kitten screamed.
"What are you gonna do, Kitten? Call for daddy and ask him to eat Eric's guts out if he doesn't ask you to the dance this weekend!" Element asked her in a mocking voice.
"ELEMENT! DON'T YOU EVER MAKE FUN OF MY FATHER!" Kitten yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind the next time I volunteer as assistant manager for a super school with a lot of cute guys and some really cool girls to hang out with. Yeah, remind me, Kitten…" Element said sarcastically.
"You're a brat!" Kitten yelled at her.
"And you're a girl that depends on her father's so called 'good deeds' to help you…" Element started.
"That's it, Element Abbigail Matthews! I am leaving!" Kitten replied and stormed away.
"Works every time. C'mon, guys, let's go out for pizza! I know a great place that will give you almost any topping in the world for a really cheap price!" Element exclaimed and the Titans left with her for pizza.
