Next chapter! I hope you liked the prologue I called Chapter 1!

yeah, um, i don't own the Teen Titans... don't tell my mom!

Chapter 2- Pizza?

She perched on the countertop as I healed her broken arm. She waved her other hand at the Titans, "Hi! I'm Mae, but you can call me Glitch."

"Why Glitch?" BB asked.

"Ever seen the movie Wreck-It Ralph?" Starfire squealed and nodded eagerly. "When I used my powers, I glitch. If it's a small spell, I usually lose a finger or hand until I eat an ambrosia cube to regenerate. If it's a large spell, I could lose a leg or something. If I use a Shout, which is a special type of spell, I could completely glitch and die. This body suit keeps the particles that I am from escaping when I glitch. It's like a second skin, it grows with me and can't tear."

"So, if you were attacked and needed to use your powers, you could end up killing yourself?" BB questioned.

"Yup! Also, I kind of operate like a battery- I burn out eventually. I have a shorter life-span that even humans. My eyes were originally brown, but now they're golden and once they turn black, I die. I'll probably live up to twenty-five, if I'm not assassinated by then. Oh, Raven, you were right about the whole pissing-people-off-will-come-back-to-bite-you-in-t he-ass. It really has, through assassination attempts!"

"What was the favor you needed?" I asked. She snapped her fingers of the newly fixed arm.

"Ah! Yes, I need for ambrosia cubes. I ran out about a month ago, and I'm literally down to one. See?" she held up a small, golden chewy-cube that measured half of my pinky.

She then pulled out two bunnies from her messenger bag- which she didn't have before, she always uses her utility belt for everything- and set them on the table. The one that was still conscious was quivering and about to pass out, and the other one simply lay on the table, its flank shuddering slightly with each breath.

"They both needed two ambrosia cubes to heal, but I only had three so I gave both of them one to keep them alive and kept the third one in case one went into critical condition."

"…They're bunnies." I said. BB gasped in shock at what I had just said.

"Actually, they're from the Haven, and they're those little bunny people. This one is the older one, she's about 5, and this one is the younger one. She's nearly two." She pointed to the grey, still conscious bunny, who was apparently the older sister, and then the white bunny with long ears.

I sighed and dug out two ambrosia cubes. She fed them both one and their fur instantly grew back and the grey one shifted back to a little girl with braided golden-brown hair with bangs that covered half her face and weird brown bunny eyes. She also had short, fluffy grey ears poking out of her crazy hair.

The other girl was small, in a ripped blue dress with white-blonde hair that lay in a tangled mass on her back. She had tall, white ears, one of which flopped over cutely. She stared at us with light blue bunny eyes.

"Hi! I'm Alice, and that's Bunny. But she can't talk, so don't be mad if she doesn't respond or anything. She'll twitch her ears and such, but only I know what she's saying then. Can we have some food?" the little girl asked. Alice's ears stood straight up at the mention of food and she smiled a little.

Mae looked at me, "Food? They haven't eaten in a few days since I ran out of food too, and I haven't in a little over two weeks since I gave them my food. Please?"

"You really think we won't feed you? And can't you hunt?" I asked, amused. I went over to the fridge and opened it up, revealing Starfire's strange, molding food and some vegetables that were obviously out of date. I closed the fridge,

"Do you like pizza?"

The little girl, Bunny, tugged on her sister's sleeve and twitched her ears in a strange fashion. Alice nodded and asked, "Does it have meat?"

"…Sometimes. Beast Boy gets vegan."

"OK! That's good, because we're vegetarians."

I locked eyes with Mae, "Now you see my problem of getting food for these two. I never had time to hunt for me because I was too busy trying to find 'the right kind of carrot'. It was horrible!" she threw her hands up in the air.

I looked at Robin, "Pizza?"

I moaned, "This is delicious. Do you know how long it's been since I had pizza? Like, 2 years! This is what I get for moving out of Jump…"

"You used to live in Jump?" Beast Boy asked through a mouth of pizza.

"Yeah, I left when Slade came in. That must've been, what, three years ago…? I heard he was gone now, or gone about a year ago. Takes awhile for word to reach my ears on the mountaintops. I still don't get how the Haven was so successful if it was all the way up in the mountains… it takes weeks for supplies to get up there! Longer if they're ambushed!" I complained, waving my half eaten pizza in the air for emphasis..

"You lived in the mountains?" Raven asked, "Near the Haven ruins?! You're kidding, right?! You of all people know how dangerous the area around the Haven is!" she scolded. I rolled my eyes, scoffing,

"Like I can't handle that. The only reason I left was cause the area I was in ran out of ambrosia stores and these two needed help. I'll probably go back next week after I drop them off at the Blake's Academy.

"You're taking them to Blake's? Why?" Raven asked curiously.

"What is this Blake's Academy you speak of Friend Mae and Friend Raven?" Starfire asked curiously with wide eyes as she bit into her pizza.

"Blake's Academy is-" I started but was interrupted by raven,

"Blake's Academy is a horrible place, and you should not be sending them there." Raven glared at me. Bunny slid her hand into mine and Alice scooted closer to me. I put an arm around Alice as she stared up at me,

"Blake's isn't a bad place. I grew up there, and I'm just fine!"

"They turned you into a Glitch, Mae! How is that 'fine'?"

"I was dying! What else could they have done? Anyways, it was an accident. They gave me a home after my parents were sent to Nazaran and they were kind to me. How is that bad!" she glared.

"Wait- slow down. What is Blake's, and I don't want an opinion, I want a definition." Robin said sternly.

"Blake's Academy is a boarding school for children up to the age of 18. People who are sent there are usually prodigies or are special, in the sense of heritage. A kid sent there might be part Cyclops, or demon, or angel, or just very smart. You can leave whenever you like, and Mae left when she was twelve after the accident."

"And it was a perfectly good place, I might add, and the only reason I nearly died is because I broke a rule and went somewhere we weren't supposed, a cliff over the sea, and I was standing too close the edge and fell on the rocks." I tossed my two cents in, crossing my arms indignantly as Raven insulted my old home again.

"If they had gotten there sooner, this wouldn't have happened!"

"If they had gotten there sooner, then Bunny and Alice could be dead by now!"

"If they had gotten there sooner, because it's pretty easy to guess since you never followed the rules, then you wouldn't be like- like- this!" raven accused. Mae's eyes flashed,

"Do you have a problem with that? Why is it I can make peace with this and you can't! Would you rather me be dead?!" she hissed. Alice and Bunny squeaked at the anger the normally playful, sweet Mae was exhibited and shifted into bunnies and jumped over to Cyborg and Beast Boy's laps, respectively.

"Considering the fact that you've got a terminal disease inside of you? One that keeps you in the suit for the rest of your short life? Yes, maybe I do!" Raven snapped. Mae growled and grabbed Alice and Bunny. She gave Alice, who had shifted back, a medallion,

"Give this to Headmaster Blake." She murmured before turning and jumping off the side of the building. Raven sat down with a huff, "She'll be fine. She always is."

"…Rae, what was that?"

She sighed, massaging her temples, "Remember that girl at the private school that we went to that one time as a favor for the mayor?"

BB's eyes lit up. 'OH! That was Blake's Academy?"

She nodded, "It wasn't called Blake's Academy then, though, it was called Roslow Prep School. Anyways, they had let a few people stay there as a home, and the other students went home and… well, Mae was one of the kids who stayed. She always broke the rules. I became friends with her when I was talking to them in literature class, then saw her again at a tea shop. She left town shortly after her accident because Slade came in. Anyways, Roslow Prep School got a new headmaster and he changed the enter school- for the better, actually. Everyone was allowed there, metahumans or no, and it was really good for a while. After the accident, I didn't like it anymore, so…" Raven trailed off, her gaze weighted down to her shoes.

Cyborg put his hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure she understands that you're just a little angry. She'll probably come back tonight, especially if she needs the ambrosia as much as it seems like she does." He reassured me.

I shook my head, "Nah, she'll probably draw it out. It's something she would do. She'll be back within a week though, probably three nights from now."

I raced along the rooftops, leaping gracefully across the seemingly endless chasm looming under me. I worked my way towards the tallest building in Jump, Wayne Enterprises. My thoughts wandered along empty, meaningless trails, just whispers of old conversations and faces that meant nothing and never would be anything to me. Raven popped into my mind and I stumbled, miss stepping and falling off the high roofs. I twisted and clutched onto the ledge by my fingertips, cursing myself for my stupidity and clumsiness. My legs were dangling uselessly in the air, kicking against the smooth glass of the building I was on. I finally heaved myself up and flopped on the ledge, breathing heavily.

"Well that's one way to end myself. Falling off a building. How original." I murmured to myself as I often did. 3 years alone, not talking to anyone else can really do negative wonders on your soundness of mind. I know for a fact that I lost my mentality on July 17, 2007, one year after I left that school. Guess being thirteen and living on your own after always being with at least three people at all times isn't good for you.

Oops.

"Well, well, what to do know. I guess I'm already at Wayne Enterprises, it's across from me and I guess it's not the far from me… maybe I'll go to Blake's. I heard that Headmaster Blake retired. May as well go see who Bunny and Alice will be spending all their time with before I send them there." I thought out loud, nodding in agreement.

"Good idea. I'll get going… now, I think." I said after a minutes pause. I leapt to my feet and walked over to a shorted building, promptly jumping off the one I was on now and landing on the shorted one. I continued this pattern until I landed on the soft grass inside Blake's Academy school grounds. I walked up to the large, wrought iron doors and knocked loudly. The doors opened slowly to reveal a cowering maid. I smiled at her,

"Hey, Magnolia. How's it going? And why are you a maid?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she tried to push me out,

"Mae, please, you must leave-"

"What's this?"

Dun dun dun! Trust me- this is worthy of a good dun dun dun-ing! Go ahead, do it with me!

DUN DUN DUN!
