Chapter 3: Team Discussion
"Um? What's this about?" Beast Boy asked.
"It's about Alex…" Robin responded.
"What about friend Alex?" Starfire asked.
"It seems a little suspicious…" Cyborg said. "The kid just HAPPENS to show up during our big fight, claiming to have nowhere to go…"
"Well, if he has nowhere to go, he can stay here. He's seems to be a nice guy" Beast Boy stated.
Robin sighed.
"Hate to bring up a touchy subject Beast Boy, but that's exactly what you said about Terra, and look how that turned out…" Robin said.
Beast Boy fell silent in sadness.
"Not to mention, he didn't even tell us where he was from." Cyborg said.
"But we cannot leave friend Alex out in the coldness…" Starfire pleaded.
"And besides, how are you so sure he's bad?" Beast Boy cut in.
"I don't, I'm just saying that it seems a bit off" Robin said scratching his head.
Another moment of silence fell over them before Raven broke the silence.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with Beast Boy…" She said.
Everyone gave Raven a shocked look, she NEVER agreed with Beast boy… EVER!
"I sensed positive energy emitting from him when we met" Raven stated. "And when Terra wanted to join the team, I sensed something was wrong. But when she helped us save the Tower, I shrugged it off as mere paranoia, but this is different."
Starfire then turned to Robin.
"Please Robin, he is good. I can sense it in my glorfmunch." Starfire said.
Robin then turned to Cyborg.
"What do you think?" Robin asked.
"If Raven say's he's cool, than he's good with me…" Cyborg shrugged.
Robin let out an exasperated sigh.
"Look's like I'm CLEARLY outvoted." Robin sighed.
Robin began to walk away.
"Just keep an eye on him…" Robin said before vanishing into the Tower.
The others simply shrugged and filed out into the living room, where Alex was sitting.
"I really hope I'm not imposing…" Alex said sighing.
"Not at all friend Alex!" Starfire cheerfully smiled.
Cyborg took a seat on the couch and reached for the table, but noticed something was missing.
"Not again…" He groaned he then angrily turned to Beast Boy.
"BEAST BOY!" He yelled.
"What I do now??" Beast boy asked.
Cyborg got up and actually lifted the couch with Alex on it and began to shake it.
"I can't BELIEVE you lost the remote again!" Cyborg yelled as he shook the couch.
"I'M STILL ON HERE!" Alex called.
Apparently they didn't hear him.
"What makes you so sure I lost it??" Beast Boy asked.
Cyborg finally dropped the couch and approached the green hero.
"Uh? Because Your YOU!" Cyborg stated.
"Hey don't go blaming ME!!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Well how am I supposed to watch TV without a remote???" Cyborg cried.
Raven growled as she took a step forward.
"SIMPLE! You get up, and change the channel!" Raven cut in.
A moment of silence fell over them.
"Don't even joke like that…" Cyborg said all too calmly.
"I don't think she was joking…" Alex pointed out.
"GOOD! Cause it wasn't funny!" Cyborg cried. "Now can someone PLEASE help me find the remote?"
Alex smiled to himself, he already felt at home.
