Picking up where we left off! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Disclaimer as usual : I don't own the Teen Titans. Well, enjoy the second chapter and review please!!

"Alright dude, you gotta let us in on a little bit of what's going on here! What's she doing here?" Cyborg busted forth with when Robin entered the main room in the morning. All the Titans were there waiting for him, and they wanted answers about the still slumbering girl, Ali.

"Look, when I had a talk with her it was obvious that she needs protection from whoever is coming after her, and this is the safest place available. Also, there is something going on here that I think we should keep an eye on. If the people coming after her come to us then problem solved. Besides, she won't be here long I don't think," Robin stated trying to calm everyone's nerves.

"But come on! We aren't a charity Robin, we can't take in every stray person we find," Beast Boy said exasperated.

"I think you just don't like how good she is at video games," Cyborg mockingly told the green boy. A fight ensued between to the two, letting the others have a chance to air their concerns.

"He's right Robin, we can't just accept people in with no clue as to who they are. She seems harmless, but it's wrong to take in someone we don't know if we can trust," Raven coldly shared.

As the argument continued Starfire remained silent, secretly liking having the new girl here with them. It was only when Beast Boy and Cyborg returned to the conversation that she spoke up, "Why not enjoy having a new friend with us? She is fun and nice and I don't see why a few days of protecting her is so bad." The room fell silent as her words sunk in.

Cyborg broke the silence, "Robin, we just need to know what's up with this. What did you talk to her about yesterday for so long? Had to be pretty convincing for you to let her stay." All eyes turned to Robin, awaiting the story they had all be curious about.

"I'll let her share that on her own. It isn't good to pry into people's past, especially when it's as hard as hers has been. Just give it time, I'm sure she'll let you know when she's ready. Until then we continue training as usual, and I don't want to hear any more on the subject." With that the Titans were content. As the leader, Robin knows best, and they would listen to him no matter what.

(Start Aelis' POV)

Hmmmm, morning already? I slowly opened my eyes to peer trough the darkness at the clock on the night stand. 10:15. Better get up, I think as I slide back to stretch out my back. I roll onto my back and sit up trying to get adjusted to the dark around me. The curtains were still closed, but light shown around the edges revealing that it was a beautiful late spring day. I jumped out of bed jubilantly thinking of my new friends.

As I slip on my old pair of jeans and a hooded sweatshirt I wonder what the day will bring. I could now smell the faint scent of ham and bacon sizzling, mmmm.

"Hey Ali! Get down here quick! Your breakfast is going to get cold", an excited Beast Boy yelled down the halls toward my room.

At the word breakfast I sprung out of my room and rushed down the halls to the main room. I slowed down my gait and calmly walked into the large room. Raven, Starfire, and Robin were already sitting at the table, but Beast Boy and Cyborg were both busy behind the counter. "Good morning friend! Did you have a night of good rest", Starfire asked. "Yeah, did you." "Oh yes! It was magnificent!" Wow…someone is peppy in morning, I thought as I slowly made my way over to the table.

Cyborg and Beast Boy seemed to be in the middle of World War III over in the kitchen, "Where's the soy milk?" "We don't have any." "What? Why didn't you buy some?" "Dude, no one likes soy milk!" "I do! How can I have vegetarian waffles without soymilk?" "Just eat the fruit tray and stop complaining." "Fine."

They both walked over to the table where I had seated myself. Two plates were set down in the middle. One had bacon, ham, and cheese omelets covered in cheese sauce. The other was a plate of fruit. "Well, dig in everybody", Cyborg said. Everyone reached in and grabbed some food. The omelets were delicious and all five were soon gone. But there are six of us, I confusedly thought. Oh yeah, Beast Boy is vegan. He is only having fruit. Personally, I can't stand fruit, so I let him have my serving. They all seemed shocked that I didn't eat fruit or vegetables. Beast Boy screamed like a girl and fell off his chair when I told him I only eat meats, dairy, and some grains.

"Well, let's all meet outside for training at 3. See ya then", Robin declared after we had finished and talked for a while. He slid back his chair and walked down the hall, but not before shouting back, "You're going to training too Ali, if you're going to live here then you have to work the same as everyone else." I didn't mind, I liked to get out and do stuff, no matter what it was.

"Hey Starfire, want to hang out til training? We could watch a movie or whatever you want, I'm up for anything!" Raven left the room at the mention of a girls hang out muttering something about meditation.

"Ah! What a glorious idea new friend Ali!! But I think the boys may not like us taking away the TV from them," Starfire gleefully replied while pointing over at Cyborg and Beast Boy who had taken over the GameStation in no time. "What if we go and get some iced cream?!"

"Great idea Star, it certainly looks like it's going to be hot out, great day to get some to cool off. Let me go change real fast though and I'll be back ready to go," I hurriedly told her while already heading back to my room. Wow, my first time getting to hang with anyone in so long! I really hope Starfire and I hit it off, she seems like such a fun person.

(Begin Raven's POV)

Good, their finally leaving. I muse as I watch Starfire and Ali leave for wherever they are going off to. At least now Starfire has someone to hang out with. She seems too lonely with just Robin paying much attention to her, not that she minds it from him. As I settle down on the roof to meditate I can't help but feel the warm sun on my back. The soft breeze from the bay causes my cape to flutter slightly underneath my legs as I levitate and begin clearing my mind of thought. What a great day to be up here, definitely makes for a relaxing mediation. Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion…..

Well there's the end for now everyone! Let me know how you think it's going, I'd love to hear your thoughts good or bad. Check back very soon for the next chapter!
