A fresh day in Jump city. The sun making it's way over the horizon, past the blue waters, leaving a shimmer of sparkle as it went. Titans Tower is always first to witness the beauty of the rising sun. Each room had a clear view of the wondrous site and the light would easily pour in, filling the rooms from floor to ceiling in natural brightness.

Three of the Titans were quickly awoken by the sunshine, they got themselves ready for a new day and met each other as they headed towards the common room/kitchen. Robin, Cyborg and Beastboy walked together through the multiple hallways of the tower. Their was an uneasy silence between them all; Beastboy wasn't making his usual bad jokes; Cyborg wasn't banging on about the tower could use more upgrades and Robin, well…robin never usually says much anyway, the other were always to busy arguing about anything for robin to even get a slight word in. Cyborg finally broke the silence: "so BB how…..old is your cousin man?" Beastboy snapped out of his trance-not talking for so long gave him time to actually think-he gave Cyborg a sort of confused yet, "why the fuck is that your business?", look.

"Your…cousin man. How old is she?" He kept taking gaps and saying some words slowly as if Beastboy couldn't keep up with his words.

"Why?" Cyborg jumped in front of Beastboy to stop him walking. He brought his face down slightly to Beastboy's level.

"Oh I don't know, could it the fact that she came out of nowhere, totally thrashed the Hive 5 without so much as breaking a sweat, you offer to let her stay here for a while and….!"

"And the best thing you cant think to ask is, How old is she?"

Robin gave a slight snigger, luckily Cyborg didn't here it, he was to frustrated o hear properly.

"I just don't like having a complete stranger in my tower!"

"She's not a stranger dude, she's family"

They continued to debate and Robin knew eventually it would get rough. He would like to avoid any injuries at least until after breakfast. He went to break them up but something hit his senses.

"Hey guys" he said "do you smell that?" The fighting pair were interrupted, but didn't care once they could smell what Robin was talking about. Their noses twitched and their feet immediately went into overdrive. Good thing the common room door is six feet wide or else they would have gotten jammed inside. Arriving at the kitchen-in what must a record time-they found the kitchen table stacked with plates of thick pancakes.

"WELL ALRIGHT!" shouted Cyborg. He and Beastboy shot for the table and dived straight in. Robin walked over to join them and he gave a hand helping Sarah to set some plates for the others.

"Someone kept themselves busy" he commented

"Dude, she even made tofu one's for me!"

She thanked them all with a smile and handed Robin a plate.

The door slid open again and the remaining Titans-Raven and Starfire-walked in.

"What is that glorious smell?" Starfire flew to the table to join her friends. "The cakes of pan! Oh thank you new friend Sarah. I shall consume with the tangy yellow beverage of earth known as mustard!"

Sarah scratched the back of her head and looked at Raven who was still standing at the door.

"Get used to it, she's an alien"

"It's not that" said Sarah "I've just never met anyone else that ate pancakes with mustard before"

Another aqward silence-quickly cut off by a joyful glee from Starfire. Raven just rolled her eyes and went to the cupboards to fetch her herbal tea, to her surprise though, it wasn't there.

She searched through the rest of the cabinets but still nothing. "Dammit", she realised she must have finished without noticing, the last month had been so hectic with bad guys and criminals that it was too difficult to focus on anything else. Sarah got up from the table and went to the other side of the room where her bag was sitting.

"Put the kettle on Raven, I've got some things you can use" Raven did so, not entirely sure what Sarah meant by things. Sarah placed her bag on the counter top and took out three small purple vials: dark coloured, corks for lids and no labels. The kettle whistled and Sarah poured the hot water into a mug. After that she opened two of the bottles, they each had a powder in them, one was pink and the other was purple. She handed the mug to Raven. The empath saw the water had changed to a dark purple, be fore she could ask what was in it the scented steam reached her nostrils and became compelled to try it. The other titans nearly choked on their pancakes when Raven took the away from her mouth; she was smiling. Actually smiling.

"It's a mixture of crushed wild berries. Always makes me feel happy first thing in the morning."

I know this chapter may seem a little boring but I need something to fill in the gaps till I get to the good parts so bear with me. Please review
