On the other side of Jump City, as the blond haired archer fell into an easy sleep, a red headed archer was still trying to force himself into a very needed sleep inside of a crowded "T" shaped building. This was none other than Speedy, the "normal" member of Titans East, at least, that's what he led them to believe.
As hard as he tried, he knew that getting sleep wasn't going to happen when it was the day before full moon and he had neglected to go out the previous month. Despite Bumblebee's constant whining about how annoying he was, she had become quite the nuisance herself, with her unceasing desire to know exactly where her team was during every second of the day, keeping the young bowman away from what was supposed to be manditory. It was getting to the point where he was in a constant bad mood and the growing distance of his soul from the moon's essence was making him act like his mother's preconcieved "arrogant boy" steroetype. He was jumpy, too. His blood wouldn't stop racing in anticipation for the hunt, the dire need to go running out through the moonlight woundn't stop buzzing at the back of his head, and more than anything, his desire to use his own bow, not the golden yellow colored one that he had been given by Green Arrow when he started fighting crime.
It was either that keeping him awake, or his heavily snoring roommate who somehow found a way to remove anything the agile archer stuck up his nose. Either way, it kept him from the sleep he so desperately wanted. Not that he really needed it anyway, since he had successfully been able to sleep until four o'clock in the afternoon, but it would have been nice to have had a full night's sleep when he would have to be up with the full moon the next night anyways. After ten more minutes of staring at the ceiling looking for nonexistant faults in the metal (it was a wonder they never got baked from spending so much time in metal rooms), Speedy gave up hope for sleep and left to wander the spacious tower. While he walked he wondered what was going to happen now, not just to him, but to the Titans in general. Taking down the Brotherhood of Evil and their allies had left many of the young superheroes without much work to do. Of course, some of them still had smalltime oponents that weren't with the Brotherhood and had all left less than a week after they returned to the tower. This included Pantha (who had a very important match that she couldn't miss), the Herald, Thunder and Lightning (they still stopped in most days, but prefered their open skies to the over-populated Titans Tower), and Gnaark, who was scared of modern society but insisted that Kole stay to spend time with their new friends (or atleast, that is what we assume he said). Nobody else left because, frankly, the life of a superhero was often a lonely one and when nobody was dependent on them, they had nothing to do and that was when things got dangerous. Most of them wouldn't go back to their homes and would be seperated into teams to be placed all over the world. 'So of course, Bumblebutt had to choose now to start bugging Robin about getting another girl into the East Team,' Speedy thought mutinously.
He pushed open yet another door and was hit by a burst of salty air. Having managed to wander onto the roof of Titan's Tower, Speedy felt the need to burst out laughing at the luck of ending up brooding in the tower's unofficial teenage angsting spot.
Oh, the irony!
