Over the next few weeks Tokala integrated himself into the lifestyle of the Teen Titans.
Gradually it seemed like he had always lived with them. He had received his own room; a boring dark-blue walled room with a bed and desk. Within two days after receiving it one of the walls was already covered in drawings and sketches of miscellaneous things. He spent most of his time with Beast boy and Flash, and often he would pull of elaborate pranks on the rest of the team. Surprisingly enough he never got caught for them, he had a great skill in that area.
"Tofu dog?" asked Beastboy as he placed the two fake-meat hotdogs into their buns.
"Nah," Tokala responded never looking up from his drawing.
"Don't you do anything else than draw?" asked Beasboy.
"nah," responded Tokala once more.
"He will now!" shouted Cyborg walking up to him with a football. "Since we are now an even numbers, we can all play Football!!!" Raven's eyes opened wide and Tokala finally looked up from his sketchpad.
"Sorry, I'm more of the Futball type… I think you guys call it Soccer…" said Tokala as he returned to his drawing.
"Ah, but the pretty boy has no choice, he must play football," said Cyborg.
"Fine, just don't expect me to participate much. And we get to play soccer afterwards." Tokala said as he got up. Raven tried to escape the scene, but was blocked by Robin who pushed her to the open field.
"Okay, Star and Tokala are on my team, the rest are with Cy," said Robin as he walked over to the middle line, "Cy's team starts." Eventually the teams separated and the game started. As most people could have guessed Tokala and Raven did practically nothing, the game when on like they weren't even there.
"Okay! Soccer time!" shouted Tokala once he had gotten beyond bored of watching people smash into each other.
"Fine, you said you'd participate in this one." Said Robin who had given up all hopes of introducing Football to the pair.
"Okay, same teams, you guys know the rules: no touching the ball with your hands and no touching the other teams' players. Also no destroying the ball, I paid for that one. Star, Cyborg you guys are the goalies." Tokala said, now taking complete control of the situation, Soccer was one of the ways that he trained and he knew it well.
"Aw come on! Rae's not going to do anything again and we'll lose!" said Beast boy hoping to have Cyborg back on the playing field.
"Don't worry, she get pretty competitive with this…" said Tokala as he stepped up into the center of the field. "Ready?" The game started and Raven didn't move. Beast boy tried to catch the ball from Tokala but he was unable to. Tokala had sped up for only a couple of seconds, but he had managed to cross half the playing field in that time.
"Flash steps," muttered Raven as she sped up as well and stood in front of the goal, waiting for him.
"How did you guys do that?" asked Cyborg behind her, but she did not answer. Instead she turned around and kicked the ball from under Tokala's feet, sending it sailing towards Beastboy. The stunned green man managed to recover just as he caught the ball. He ran forward enough to shoot for the goal. Robin intervened at the last moment; the ball vied a little to the left. From his safe view at the goal Cyborg saw Raven disappear and reappear next to the ball. As soon as she was close enough she did some sort of flip and sent the ball sailing to the goal. Poor Starfire didn't even get the chance to react.
"Whoa, since when are you this good?" asked Robin as he ran up to Raven.
"We used to play soccer all the time when we were kids. We beat every team in Azarath so eventually we had to start playing each other. I guess its just nostalgia." Said Raven looking at the terrified Starfire who had just barely survived a traumatic experience.
"You'll never beat me!" said Tokala as he appeared next to them.
"I just did…" said Raven looking over to her adversary n all manners Soccer.
"That's cuz I let you." Tokala said sticking his tongue out. "And don't coerce my team into working for you, backstabbing is not accepted in this game." He added, making this game into a full-blown war.
"Fine," Raven answered and walked over to her side and the game continued. The goalies changed regularly because the non-demon players tired at a much faster rate than the remaining two. By the time the game was done everyone was exhausted.
"Seriously, that is the worst workout I've ever had!" said Cyborg as he sat on the bench of the picnic table. "It's scary when you see a black and white missile flying 200 mile per hour directly at you!"
"Sorry? I guess I can't control the force of my blows anymore. I haven't played in so long!" said Raven as she leaned against a tree.
"Who's up for going back to the tower and taking a shower?" asked Robin as he walked to the T-car. The rest of the group soon followed.
