Chapter 1: West Coast Bitch

I looked around, lollipop in my mouth, even though I barely tasted it. It didn't really matter. The alleyway was dark, but that didn't bug me much either. It was nighttime, and no stars could be seen because of the street lights and what have you.

I shivered, my short-shorts not the best for the California spring-time night. Pink tub top with the neon green words "Problem, Bitch?" isn't the best either. My white shades rested on my head, while my mousy brown shoulder length hair was in a messy ponytail. My flip-flops making slapping noises on the poorly made alley-way. Two silver rings rested on my middle fingers, and a chain -not very thick- was attached to those said rings. The chains disappeared into my pockets, and each chain was about 6 or 7 feet long.

My weapon of choice, hell yeah. My chains are life saviors, they're made of titanium and whatever else Batman threw in. They have the ability to grow longer, but I only use that for my parkour type stuff. You know, jumping off buildings, falling to my death, that kind of thing. I generally use their original length for fighting, just because they're easier to control that way.
And my special ability Do I even have one? Oh yes. I can teleport. It's really awesome, and when I do it it looks really amazing. All of my molecules kind of retreat to the center of my body (which is around my stomach) and its all swirly and pretty -I think.
So, that's me. Oh, my name's Kitty, in case you cared. I was once Catwoman's apprentice, and worked closely with Dick and Mr. Wayne. But my world just got turned upside down, and nothing is right anymore. I feel so lost, so I'm going to my old rival and pal, Robin. Boy Wonder. Dick Grayson.

If I could find his stupid hideout. Damn it.

"Where the hell are you, Boy Wonder?" I murmured, pressing my hand against the dirty brick wall and glancing around the corner.
I wrapped my chains around their respective hands, a nervous thing I've always done. My mind was racing, worry often distracted me now a days. Revenge, rage, and fear also had their turns, too.

As I kept walking, I began to hear voices behind me, but I didn't really pay them any mind. Just in case I did pull my chains out of my pockets a little more. Cool thing about my chains, they fit into my pocket and make it look like nothings in them. I feel so fancy, I swear.
"Hey, sweetheart," an eerily nice voice said behind me.

I snapped around on my heel, adrenaline spiking. Three guys stood in a triangle like formation. At the head was a smirking white-boy with blonde hair. To his right a darker complected guy with black hair. The dude on the left was a black guy with a huge fro (which have been awesome, if he didn't have a beer in his hand and a gun hanging out his waist band...)

I grabbed my lollipop stick and pulled it out of my mouth with 'pop'. I liked my lips slowly, and looked them over. "Can I help you?"

They looked at each other and snickered, the black guy fingered his gun. "Sure," the white-boy said, "You offering?"

I pretended to think about it, then shook my head, "No."

The white dude came forward, I narrowed my eyes, "Come on baby."

"You ain't my daddy," I said, then turned and began walking away.

Until the dark-ish kid grabbed my arm, "Hey, the boss be talkin' to you, bitch."

Without turning around I said, "Think I give a shit?"

"You should," I felt the cold barrel on the side of my head.

I laughed, and I could feel their confused stares.

"Do you know who I am?" I asked them.

"Some hoe we gunna fuck up?" the black guy laughed.

"In. Your. Dreams." I told them slowly, then teleported. The feel of teleporting, and going through space as a million and more molecules was amazing, to say the least. I formed (from my center outward, opposite of what happens when I first teleport) behind the idiots and took my chains out of my pockets. They clattered to the ground with clinging sounds. The guys jumped and turned around.

"She's a super!"

"Well fuck!"

I smirked, and wrapped my chains around their respected hands once, and flicked my wrists. The chains instantly responded, and launched themselves into the brick walls on either side of me. They went deep into the stones, and brick pieces flew every where.

The black guy pointed his gun at me, and I don't take well to threats. With an easy tug of my left hand the chain fell from the wall. I gave each of them a dark look, then shot the chain forward, and cut the gun in half like butter. The each looked at the gun, dumbfounded. Then they took off running for the hills.

"Bye!" I called after them, waving my chain in the air.

Once they were out of sight, I collapsed to the ground. To tell you guys the truth that lollipop was the only thing I've had to eat in two days... I know people in Africa and what not go even longer without, but I'm used to having a full belly. This really sucks.

I weakly tugged my other chain out of the wall and stuff both of the chains into my pockets I scooted over to a damaged wall and tilted my head against it. I brought my knees to my chest and hugged them with my arms and small lead of chain. Selena popped into my head, but I soon cast the thought out. It hurt too much.

I closed my violet eyes (yeah, cool huh? No contacts or anything) and fought back my tears. Why? I just kept asking. Why? Why? Why? Soon, I felt myself drifting to sleep, and welcomed the release from reality.

I don't know how long I was out, but something was shaking me awake.

"Go away.." I grumbled.

"Damn, is that really you Kitty?" A semi familiar voice asked.

I forced my eyes opened and was met with very dim light, like sunrise was an hour or so away. And a face. His eyes were masked, but his spiky jet black hair gave him away.

"Dick... I-I've been looking for you.." I felt tears pooling in my eyes.

He put his gloved hand on my cheek, and I rested my face against it, "What happened? Why are you here in Jump City and not Gotham?"
I just shook my head, words couldn't form because of the lump in my throat. Boy Wonder just shook his head, and he scooped me up into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and rested my head on his shoulder.

I think I may have passed out after that because when I woke up in a big plush bed in a big room. I sat up groggily and blinked against the bright sunlight that burned into the room. I had a nightgown on, with my shorts, tube top, chains, and sunglasses at the end of my bed. My hair was out of the ponytail and my bangs were pulled back. All I could do was scratch my head and wonder.
"Where the hell am I?" I asked no one.

Last thing I remembered was Robin carrying me, and then I was here. That was Robin, right? Yes, that I'm sure of. I got out of the bed, and pulled off the nightgown and tossed it to the ground. I pulled on my shorts and and slid on my tub top. I slipped my rings on to my fingers, and put my chains into my pockets. I dug around the room and found my rubber band and threw my hair into a messy bun. I put my sunglasses on my head, and went to the door (or I'm hoping its a door).

It was, and it slid open for me as I approached. I chuckled, "Robby always had the best toys."
I shook my and decided to go down the right side of the hallway. I saw some other doors, but I didn't know if I should enter or not. "Tricky joint.."

"Can I help you?" I jumped and turned around and was met with two dark violet eyes staring out at me from under the shadow of her cloak.
I cocked my head and raised a brow, "Who are you? A super?"

She gave a dull look, "You could say that."

I waited a minute, both of us just staring at each other. Finally, I broke the damned silence, "So... gotta name?"
"Raven," she said in the monotone that appeared to be her voice.

"Oh... That's cool."

She nodded, and cocked her head slightly, "What's your name?"

"Kitty, I'm Cat-" I stopped short and started again, "I'm Kitty."

Raven narrowed her eyes at me, and then floated away. Literally.

I shook my head, and started my exploring again. I finally got brave enough to approach the other doors. That's when I realized some of them needed codes, voice recognition, or a certain body temperature. What the hell?

Then I got to a door that just slid open on its own. Thank goodness. It appeared to be a living space. It had a kitchen/dining area when you first entered, then by the huge freaking windows was a half moon couch with a huge TV in front of it.

"Not bad.." I muttered, stepping into the room.

"Oh, Kitty," I turned toward the table at my name, "You're awake. I'm glad you're not hurt."

I smirked, "Thanks, Boy Wonder."

I'm sure he was rolling his eyes under his mask. Does he always wear that thing now? I kinda miss seeing his deep brown eyes...
I jumped up on a counter and looked at my old pal,"So what's up bird?"

He snorted, "Busy."

"That's all?" I pouted, "I thought you were gunna be doing cool stuff after you left."

He smiled, "I have done cool stuff. I live here with my team. Fight the bad guys, protect Jump City."

I frowned, "But... we were a team, too. You, C-catwoman, Bats, me? What happened?"

He scratched the back of his head, his nervous/anxious habit, "Didn't Batman tell you, Kitty?"

I shook my head, "Selena didn't either."

He sighed, "I wanted to get out on my own, and train to become better than I ever could be under Batman."
I nodded, kind of understanding, "You could have called."

He smiled, "Yeah, I should have."

"I missed ya, Bird," I told him, putting feeling into it.

"I know," he said it so sincerely, "I'm sorry."

"Nah," I waved a hand at him, even though it really meant a lot to me, "Don't worry about it. I get ta see you now, don't I?"
"Yeah," he frowned, "Why are you here anyway? Aren't you still training under Catwoman?"

It was my turn to scratch my head, "Something happened... I-I don't even know if she's alive."

Robin shot up from his chair, "What?"

"She said Batman was coming to get her!" I tried to tell him, "I-I... she disowned me..."

"But Selena loved you like a daughter..?"

I felt sobs climbing up my throat, "I don't know why, either... She told me to come here. I would be safe with you..."

Robin nodded, "And you will be. But you have to tell me everything that happened."

I nodded, and told him.

"I walked into our apartment only to find her lying there. Oh, Dick.. There was blood everywhere. She was yelling at me, but I tried to help. She made me leave.. called me a bitch even... So, I ran. I haven't heard form her or Bats."

Robin held his chin thoughtfully, "I haven't heard form Batman in a while... He usually checks in with me."

"Do think something happened to him?"

Robin shook his head, "No, but Joker could be up to something. I'm sure they're both fine, Kitty."

I nodded, and hugged myself.

"Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, I'll see if I can't dig up anything."

I hopped off the counter and gave him a grateful smile. He didn't return it, which was typical Robin. As he walked out, I opened the fridge and instantly grabbed the bacon. I raided the rest of the kitchen for pans, and tossed the yummy bacon in the oven to cook.

I sat on the counter and played with my chains. After a while, so kid walked in. Technically, I guess he was just a teen. But he was so small! And he was green, too, with elf ears. Wow...

"Hey, kid!" I waved to him.

"What?" he looked at me, and spoke in a higher pitched voice, "I'm not a kid! I'm fifteen!"

I scrunched my face, "You don't look it... You don't even sound like it!"

"Hey!" His emerald green eyes sparked, "Just who the heck are you!?"

I hopped off the counter with the utmost grace, and walked enticingly over to him. I leaned down to his face once I reached him. Man he was speechless!

"I'm Kitty, who are you?" I smirked.

"I-I.. Imma.. Oh, momma."

"That's not a name, sweetheart," I informed him.

"B-Beast Boy."

I leaned back and smirked, "So, I see you haven't hit puberty."

"WHAT!" He shrieked, causing me to laugh, "That's not funny!"

I shook my head and swished my hips as I walked over to the oven (well, they swished without my help) and slipped on the oven mits. I reached my hands into the oven and pulled out the amazing looking bacon. Yum!

"Oh, I have got to stop that..." I shook my head and scooped some bacon onto my plate.

"Is that meat?" asked Beast Boy, scrunching up his nose.

"Yeah," I answered the clearly stupid question, "Want some?"

"No way!" he sliced his hand threw the empty air, "I would never eat an animal!"

I rolled my eyes, "Vegie dude, huh? That why you're green?"

His mouth dropped, and then he shook his head and stormed out of the room. I shrugged, not really caring. I knew I could be rude, crude, whatever. Just let him blow off steam and he'll be cool. Hey, that was kind of puny! Hate and sat down at the table. I chowed down, and ended up eating all the bacon. Awww... yummy, yummy food. Oh how I missed you.

"Damn..." I held my head with my right hand as I walked to put my plate and the bacon tray in the sink, "I was doing it again!"
I sighed, and decided to take a nap. I settled down at the end of the couch and completely knocked out. Next thing I know, I'm being poked.
I tried to use my hand to bat away the stupid person, but the poking wouldn't freaking stop.

"If you don't quit," I warned, teeth clenched, eyes shut, "I will have to beat the living hell out of you."

One thing I could not stand: getting woken up from any type of sleep. I freaking hated it with a damn passion. Selena and I had one too many fights because she woke me up. She usually won, but still I got her enough to be satisfied.

"Oh," it was a girl's voice, but way more girly than Raven's, "You are alive then, yes?"

"No..." I muttered.

I was suddenly turned onto my back and something hard pounded my chest. My breathe 'whooshed' out of my chest. I sat bolt upright and heaved. I looked over and saw a smiling, super tan (almost orange) girl with red hair, dots for eye brows, and green eyes. I noticed through my heaving and panting that her eye were all green. The whites of her eye were a super light green, but her irises were just a shade darker than Beast Boy's.

"Just... who do... you think.. you are?" I heaved.

"Oh, I am Starfire. My friends call me 'Star'," dear lord, she said that with the happiest expression.

I coughed, and took in a deep breathe. I was lucky, my abnormal-ness (being a super) made my body stronger and tougher. She probably would have broken a few of my ribs.

"How did you.. get so strong?" I asked, feeling a little better.

"I train with boyfriend Robin!" she stated proudly.

My mouth dropped, so Robby went and got himself a girly. Who would have thought that? I wonder if Bats knows...

"I, uh, see."

"You have eyes, yes?" she cocked her head.

"Yeah..?"

"So you can see!" she said like she won an award.

"Wow..." I mouthed, looking away.

"Yo, Star!" I looked over the back of the couch to the source of the deep voice.

"Yes, friend Cyborg?" Starfire flew up over the couch (another flier? Damn!) and towards the kitchen.

The guy standing there looking 17 or 18, and his body was metal with blue circuits .. He looked really awesome, and shiny. His face showed my he was of African descent. He was actually kind of... hot.

"Rob wanted us to..." he paused as he noticed me, and he smiled, "you must be Robin's old friend Kitty. Nice to meet ya!"

"Hey," I decided to be cool like Starfire and use my powers to get over to the robot man.

I let my molecules shift and swirl gracefully into the center of my being. Next thing I knew, I was forming near the big guy. He blinked in surprise, but smiled, "Sweet tricks."

"I got more if you wanna see them.." I murmured, letting my short lead of chains glint with the light.

"Maybe later," he told me, then turned to Starfire, "Robin wants us to go to the simulator room. Raven and Grass Stain are already there with him."

Starfire squealed, and took off out the door. The big guy turned his red eye towards me, and said, "I'm Cyborg, come on."
I followed behind him like a faithful dog, and didn't really mind it. It's kind of funny, I'm referring to myself as a dog when my name is "Kitty".
I pressed my hand against my temple and suppressed a groan. I REALLY need to stop that.

"Here we are!" exclaimed Cyborg, scaring the shit out of me.

"Where is that, exactly?" I asked, looking at the door.

"The simulator room, you'll see."

He walked closer to the door and it slid open and inside was... was... Oh God...

"Snow..." I groaned, my knees bending, "I hate snow!"

"Its not cold!" Cyborg called over his shoulder as he ran inside, "Well... kind of, but its not bad!"

I stepped into the room hesitantly, and realized he was right. Once again I found myself saying, "not bad" and wandering deeper inside.
I reached everyone else, and was met with different looks. Raven, indifferent. Starfire, excited (even though I'm beginning to believe she's always like that). Robin, surprised, but happy looking. Beast Boy, pouty (baby). Cyborg, ready to get going.

I let my chains fall from my pockets and looked over at Boy Wonder and saw he had his bow staff at the ready across his chest. I had to admit, he did look a lot stronger and more mature than the last time I saw him 3 years ago.

"Here's the drill today, team," he addressed us, "Catch the flag."

Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire cheered. Raven, and Robin smirked.

"Goal is to steal the other team's flag and defend it until the 10 minute time is up. We're going to be at this an hour or two, so the team with the most wins, wins. Cyborg and I will be team captains."

"Awwwwww mmmmaaaaaaannnn!" Beast Boy sagged, his face depressed.

Cyborg pointed to Raven, "Come on, Raven."

She walked over to Cyborg, her cloak billowing around her small frame.

"Fine," Robin said, pointing to his girlfriend, "Come on, Star."

"EEEK!" she squealed, and flew into his arms. Man, I hope she was more serious in battle.

Cyborg looked between me and Beast Boy, and finally pointed to me, "Let's see what you're made of, Kitty!"

"Hell yeah," I flicked my chains, and they wrapped around my arms.

"Still good with your chains, eh, Kitty?" Robin smirked as Beast Boy walked over to his team.

"Oh," I shook my head, "You have NO idea."

"Ok," Robin nodded, looking at all of us, "Titans, GO!"

I frowned, but shrugged it off and flowed Cyborg and Raven as they ran toward our base. Raven took to the air and floated backward, watching our backs.

Finally, we found the flag in a cave. It was really well hidden, but we probably needed someone to guard it. Cyborg seem to have that idea too.

"Kitty, you stay here and-" he began.

"And guard the flag?" I raised a brow, "No. I was trained by the world's best thief. I can steal their flag easy."

"Hmm..." Cyborg frowned, and Raven looked at me, "Who trained you?"

I looked back at her, "Catwoman."

She nodded, "I'll stay here, then. I can sense them anyway."

**Play Club Can't Handle Me by Flo-rida ft. David Guetta**

"Lets do it!" I said, and ran off back into the trees. Cybrog was right beside me, watching from the corner of his eye.

It didn't take long to find Starfire and Robin. Starfire shot bolts of green energy from her hands and lasers of the same color from her eyes. I barely dodged.

In return, I untwisted my chains from my arms and whipped them at her. They missed, but Cyborg's cannon got her good. Robin launched himself at Cyborg, and I flicked my wrist, and my chain wrapped around Robin's waist.

"Not so fast, pretty bird!" I hissed, and tugged hard. Robin went spinning side ways as the chain unraveled itself from his waist. I teleported, and reformed right where he would land. I wrapped my chains around my hands, and then use the lead of both chains to slam his body down to the ground.

"Just like old times!" I shouted, through his slight discomfort, I thought I saw Robin smirk a little.

"Let's go!" I shouted to Cyborg, who just fought off Starfire again.

"You go!" he shouted, "I got this!"

I nodded, and launched off into the general direction of their flag. I frowned, and felt something watching me. I glanced around, and decided to be safe. I spun around on the tip of my right foot, allowing my chains to expand and spin with me. They cut the trees, and they slid slowly from their stumps. Some looked pixel like, then glitched out and returned to their realistic shape.

"Freaky.." I muttered, and then continued my trek toward the flag.

I finally found the other cave, with a big, green saber-tooth tiger blocking my way. I could see my destination, so I can easily teleport there. And silently, too. Problem is, I'm not strong enough to teleport other things with me yet. Well I can teleport my chains, but that's because of how Batman made them. The rings mimic my brain waves to my chains, which is how they expand and shrink and teleport with me on a millisecond's notice.

So I was gunna have to care of Beast Boy before entering... Hmm...

I looked up at the tree beside me, and touch it's trunk. My hand didn't go threw it, so I deemed it safe, and teleported into its higher branches. Once having reformed, I began to spin my chain on my left hand above my head. It made a quiet humming sound, the same that some tribes of Native Americans used to use in the good ol' days to communicate.

I watched as Beast Boy's ears twitch, then his massive head lifted up. He smelled the air, and stood up. If I could aim this just right...
I launched the chain downward, right at Beast Boy's neck. I hit my mark (very luckily). He roared, and I jumped down from the tree. I landed on the balls of my feet, silently and painlessly just as Catwoman taught me.

Beast Boy's head snapped towards me, his emerald green eyes burning into me. I shivered, and quickly shook it off. I tugged the chain hard, and Beast Boy roared in pain.

"Here, kitty kitty!" I clicked my tongue, teasing the poor kid.

Beast Boy didn't like that, and lunged at me. The way his body was angled, and the way I was facing equaled about a ton of muscle and fur crushing me. Surprisingly, I wouldn't be able to teleport fast enough. If my molecules got too spread out it could take days for me to reform.
So instead I fell onto my back, and as Beast Boy soared over me, I kicked up at his stomach. His balance was thrown off, so I easily launched myself back onto my feet, flicked my other chain around Beast Boy, and gave a huge pull at both chains.

The green saber fell into the snow, and the white powder launched into the air. It was blindingly bright and so confusing. I let my chains shrink back, and away from the seemingly unconscious Beast Boy, and then whipped them around. They made easy work of the snow drift, and soon I could see clearly again.

"Thank God..." I muttered, and teleported over to the flag.

"Hell yeah!" I raised the flag high above my head, and screamed the words.

"Awwwwww, mmmaaaannnn!" I heard Beast Boy groan, and was happy to know I didn't hurt him too bad. (Hurting Robin's friends equals dead Kitty.)

**END MUSIC IF HAS NOT ALREADY ENDED**

I walked over to the green kid and watched as he opened a yellow device with a black "T" on the front.

"Yeah Beast Boy?" I heard Robin's voice.

"She got it..." Beast Boy looked up ruefully at me.

I stuck my tongue out, and pulled down my bottom left eyelid.

Then I shouted to Robin, "I win Bird!"

I heard a sigh and then a very loud, "BOOH YA!" Followed by a, "So... Beast Boy lost." Then Beast Boy yelling, "Shut up, Raven!" "We play again, yes?" "Yes, Star."

I chuckled, they seemed liked a very dysfunctional family. I could tell they cared for eachother , Beast Boy had a smile on his face, and a happy glint in his eyes. I could hear Cyborg playfully teasing Raven, who may have giggled. Starfire was clapping her hands and congratulating us, and Robin was chuckling.

To tell you all the truth... I felt happy, too. Batman and Catwoman were great, but... stopping bad guys, and robbing banks isn't exactly bonding with kids around my age. This is the first time I felt like I fit in since Dick left. I could cry right now.

But I won't. I'm not a wimpy sissy.

"Meet up here again," Robin's voice pulled me from my thoughts, "We can change-up teams and whatever we need to do."

Beast Boy nodded, and flipped the phone thingy shut. He looked up at me, and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry I was jerk earlier."

I waved my hand, dismissing it, "Don't worry about, Hotrod."

"What did you just call me?" He asked, getting up and following me towards the others.

"Hotrod," I confirmed, "Figured I would give ya a name to boost your ego."

"Hey!" Beast Boy exclaimed and met my eyes. He saw the playful glint, and laughed.

"If you call me Hotrod," he told me, "I can call you... Sugartits!"

"WHAT!?" I screeched, and turned on him.

He laughed uneasily, and shrugged, "Rules are rules?"

"No."

"But you call me-"

"Pick a different name."

Beast Boy sighed and grabbed his chin, "Umm...Sugarbuns?"

"No."

"Kitten?"

"Never."

"Uhhh... Nini?"

"Dafaq? Why Nini?"

"Why not?"

I shrugged, "Point taken, but still, no."

"MAN!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

AN: Well hope ya'll enjoyed! It took forever to edit this! R&R! :D
