As everyone looked at him questioningly, the poor leader couldn't help but sigh.
"There's a potentially dangerous individual disguised as a high school student at Jump City High." This elicited a few gasps from his team mates. "He or she has used a solution they have made to reverse the aging process thus creating the illusion that said individual is around the age of 17. The issue with this miracle product is it uses Xerothis, an illegal compound that can be used in a series of dangerous solutions. We don't know if this person also intends to use it for these purposes but we have to take them down"
This was a lot to take in, but being the steely heroes they were, they recovered from their shocked state rather quickly.
"How will we do the taking down, friend Robin?" Starfire asked innocently.
He was really starting to resent this conversation. "Well, we're going undercover as high school students."
The reactions varied. Beast Boy seemed confused, but a look of joy quickly swept over him. Cyborg seemed to be reminiscing past school memories. Starfire obviously wasn't sure what high school was, and they all knew she would call it "school of the high" but she seemed joyous nonetheless. Raven however, was grimacing as her eye twitched uncooperatively.
Robin was really only worried about Raven, would she really be alright with dealing with large groups of people he could already tell she would either hate, or really hate.
"Okay" he said a little loudly to regain the attention of the excited teens. "Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy, we'll have to adjust your skin tones so they appear as human as possible. Raven, we'll change yours so it can still be pale, but not grey. Starfire, you'll still appear tan but not orange. Beast Boy, you just won't be green… and you'll be blonde."
No one could contain their laughter at that remark. "Beast Boy, BLONDE?" Cyborg was sputtering between bursts of laughter.
Raven cracked a small smile, which wasn't uncommon at times like this due to Trigon's downfall.
"Cyborg, I'm assuming you still have access to the technology that allowed you to appear completely human as you did during the H.I.V.E infiltration."
"Yup, I've updated the ring so it it's still up to date as well." He remarked proudly, as he usually did when answering about his prized equipment and technology.
"Please friend Robin, does this not require the shopping?"
Robin only nodded, but Raven cringed knowing she would have to not only accompany Starfire, but spend a good amount of time getting clothes for herself.
Raven and Starfire were wandering around the mall while deciding what stores they would go to. Starfire chose Forever 21, Wet Seal, and H&M, whereas Raven chose Forever 21, Wet Seal, Pac Sun, and Hot Topic (she knew not to go drastically gothic, because she would have to appeal to as many cliques as possible considering they had no idea who the villain actually was).
Much to Raven's dismay Starfire insisted they must go to the "Secret of Victoria". After much persuasion, Raven caved.
The two female Titans met Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin at the food court.
When they saw the boys sitting at a tables they slid in beside them. They boys sat across from the girls.
When Robin and BB say the pink Victoria's Secret bags, they were a little put off considering Raven held one too, in addition to the rest of their bags (including a couple small Sephora bags).
They ordered two pizzas a plain cheese pizza, and one pepperoni pizza. They were silent for a moment, but Beast Boy quickly tore through the silence. "Dude, I got the sickest threads!"
"Why are they ill?" Star asked. "The fool was trying to say he got nice clothes" said Cyborg tauntingly.
Beast Boy muttered something but recovered hastily. "So Raven" he said. "What did you go to Victoria's Secret for?' he asked knowingly.
Raven knew she normally would've just shot him a menacing glare, but she decided she would make turn the tables and make him regret ever attempting to make her uncomfortable. "Thong." She said passively while shrugging.
Everyone (except for Starfire because she really never learned what a thong was.) looked at her as if she grew another head.
Raven inwardly chuckled but decided to change the subject. "So, have you all come up with some basic information such as where you came from, what school you went to, an alias, favorite band etcetera?"
Everyone was still shocked, their jaws grazing the floor. Robin wearily shook his head. "Uh, yeah Raven. I'm Richard Grayson from Gotham, and my favorite band is Green Day."
Raven arched an eyebrow. "Is it really?" she asked.
Guess you'll just have to wait and find out he said with a wink.
Raven kept her face stoic, although she was really a bit excited.
Cyborg was just flat out shocked. First Raven is talking about thongs, now Robin is winking at her?
"What is going on?" he questioned aloud. Beast Boy just shrugged dumbfounded.
"Okay Cy, your turn." Raven said monotonously.
"I'm Victor Stone, also from Gotham High, and a close friend Richard Grayson. I'm into technology and mechanics. I play football and I love Led Zeppelin."
She nodded approvingly. "Beast Boy?"
"Oh, uh, I'm Garfield Logan, and I'm from, uh… here? I like um… videogames and my favorite artist is, uh, Bruno Mars?"
Raven sighed at his lack of preparedness. "Starfire?" she asked while directing her gaze over to the redheaded alien.
"I am Kori Anders; I am of … Gotham as well? I enjoy the music of Ariane Grande. Oooh and I love the pink!" Starfire exclaimed enthusiastically.
"I'm Rachel Roth, I'm from Gotham, and I like All American Rejects and Paramore." She moved on to another topic immediately. "Why don't we just say that we're all coming from Gotham High on a student exchange program to improve student outreach between related areas?"
"Richard" nodded. "Okay, so we're Victor Stone, Kori Anders, Garfield Logan, Rachel Roth, and Richard Grayson. Five friends that volunteered participate in an exchange program."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The group headed home in the T car. When they finally arrived they all darted to their own room, no doubt reveling in their new products. They drifted to sleep, unaware of just how strange it would be the next day.
