When Beast Boy woke up, he found Aria in his arms and her head was resting peacefully on his chest. He listened to the even breathing that came from the white haired girl on top of him and couldn't help but smile. Aria subconsciously cuddled into Beast Boy's warm body and her eyes fluttered open. She let out a small yawn and blushed when her eyes were completely open.
"H-Hey, BB." She said nervously and sat up. He chuckled and sat up as well. Aria patted down her straight hair.
"How did you sleep?" Beast Boy asked, hoping to hear whether or not she had a bad dream again. Aria simply shrugged.
"I don't know. Good, I guess." She got off the bed and did her usual stretching routine. "Though, I remember this one little fragment of this dream I had." She said, while bending down to touch her toes. Beast Boy made no effort to tear his gaze from the girl in front of him.
"Yeah?" He said, only half listening. "What was it?" Aria chuckled.
"I sneezed really loud because there was glitter all over the place." She said with a smile. "We must have been at a party or something. I wish I knew what it means." She turned and saw Beast Boy drooling. He blinked and rubbed the back of his head.
"Don't sweat it." He said, in attempt to cover up his previous ogling. "Raven is really good at that stuff. Maybe she'll know." Aria let his wandering eye go and stood erect.
"Food?" She asked and Beast Boy nodded, then the pair exited the boy's room.
They walked down the hallway, hand in hand, when a sudden thought surfaced it's way to Beast Boy's attention. He grew nervous at the possible answer to the question he dared to ask Aria.
"A-Aria?" He asked, timidly. The girl looked at him and smiled.
"What's up?" She asked, clearly in a good mood. She was remembering last night, just as Beast Boy was.
"I... I was just wondering something." He said. Aria raised an eyebrow that told him to go on. "About... the kiss, I mean." Aria's smile grew.
"What about it?" She asked. "What's on your mind?" She was secretly hoping for a certain question and felt her heart practically beat out of her chest. Beast Boy cleared his throat, unsure of what to say.
"Did it... mean anything to you?" He asked and Aria's smile turned into a look of confusion. "I mean, was it like the kiss you had with X?" Aria froze in her tracks. Beast Boy released her hand and the stood, face to face, in the middle of the hallway.
"What do you think?" She asked, incredulously. "Of course it did, dude." She said and Beast Boy looked at the floor, unsure if he should believe her.
Aria sighed. She took a step towards him and planted her hand on the back of his head before pulling him in for a kiss. His eyes widened at first, but then kissed back when he realized what was happening. He put his hands on Aria's waist and savored the feeling. Aria pulled her lips away from his, but kept them inches apart.
"Believe me now?" She asked and Beast Boy nodded. She pecked him on the lips, before continuing to walk down the hall again. Beast Boy followed and grabbed her hand with confidence.
"Okay, then." The green boy said as they approached the kitchen door. "Follow up question- and you don't have to answer right away." He said and Aria nodded in understanding. "I want to know where we are. Am I in the friend zone? Am I more? You can think about it." He pecked her on the cheek before opening the door and walking inside. Aria followed him, not far behind.
'Gee, what a warning that boy gave me.' She thought as she grabbed a bowl to pour her cereal in. She groaned as she took the first bite.
Breakfast was uneventful- aside from Starfire finding a toy in the cereal box. The strange alien girl was fascinated over the small plastic action figure of a squirrel. After Aria finished her cereal, she washed the dishes she used and went to the bathroom.
She combed her hair after washing her face. She was making a mental 'Pros' and 'Cons' list about taking her relationship with Beast Boy to the next level. On one hand, she really cared about the guy. On the other, they would constantly be worried about each other in the battlefield. She was brushing her teeth and thinking at the same time, when the alarm went off and she choked on her toothpaste. As she hacked out the mint flavored substance, someone called her.
"Aria, let's go!" It was Beast Boy. She groaned as she spat out the last of it. She flew at top speed to the living room and was there in seconds. She looked at the flashing map on the jumbo T.V. that took up the entire wall.
"What's up?" She asked, innocently.
"There is trouble." Starfire replied and Robin cracked his knuckles.
"Who is it?" Cyborg asked. "One of our friends?" He asked sarcastically and the spiky headed leader shook his head.
"I don't know who they are and I don't need to." He replied. "They're attacking my city and that's all I need to know to take them down."
Back in the Jump City Bank, they were under attack, yet again, by three teens. The leader was a girl with a silver spandex cap that wrapped around her head- everywhere, but her eyes and mouth. Her eyes were the same shade of hot pink as her lips and her pupils were slits. She had a slender body and a somewhat short stature. Her clothes compiled of a silver spandex long sleeved unitard, hot pink thigh length heeled boots and hot pink fingerless spandex gloves. She was shoving cash in a duffel bag.
"Hey, Diamond." Another girl said as she approached her. "How many more bags did you want?"
This girl had short, jet black hair and purple, cat-like eyes. She was a little taller than the leader- called Diamond- and was very pale. She wore a black long sleeve leotard with an electric blue belt, that fit her loosely, and thigh high, skin tight combat boots that matched. She also had a purple cloak that reached the floor. The hood of the cloak was pulled over her head- concealing her identity.
"Hm, I thinking about ten." Diamond answered the question. "Silhouette, where is Sonic?" The one called Silhouette shrugged.
"I think he's in the room with the safety deposit boxes." She said and Diamond nodded. "I'll go check, anyway." She said, then disappeared. Diamond went back to shoving as much cash as she could in her bag.
"Money, money, money. I love the stuff." She sang. "Who cares if I have a little problem?" She asked herself, then paused to admire the ring on her left ring finger. She wasn't married, but it was a present from her teammate and boyfriend, Sonic Boom. It was a small amethyst diamond on a silver band. She sighed, remembering the moment he gave it her her.
Sonic Boom, the only male teammate, had red, pupil-less eyes, pale skin, but not as pale as Silhouette's and an emotionless face that hardly ever smiled. His costume resembled Kyd Wykkyd's, but it was all black with a few added details. He had a pair of red, knee length boots and a black cape with spandex gloves that were the same color.
'Diamond, we've got to get out of here!' Sonic Boom warned his mate telepathically. 'There's someone coming!' Diamond, being the greedy little child she is, stuffed one more wad of cash in the bag and spun around.
There was a crash and smoke filled the room. When the vapor lifted, it revealed six people- three boys and three girls.
"Titans! Go!" Robin commanded and charged at the leader of the group.
Diamond pulled out her black communicator and there was a black figure, known as Sonic Boom, that suddenly appeared. He clapped his hands together, creating a massive sound wave, that hit Beast Boy and sent him crashing into Starfire. Both of them went flying into the wall behind them.
"Star!" Robin yelled as he hurried to her.
"Aw, Lover Boy Wonder is trying to save his girlfriend." Diamond sarcastically cooed.
She whipped out a pink glitter gun- which is more deadly than it seems- and aimed it a Aria. She pulled the trigger and Aria was engulfed in glitter. She sneezed a very big sneeze, which cleared the air around her, but slammed her into a wall, leaving her disoriented. The glitter was the same kind from her dream- cloud like and pink. Was did this mean?
"Azarath Metrion Zin- Ugh!" Raven's chant was interrupted by a black and blue version of herself.
"Aw, were you trying to hurt them?" Silhouette mocked. "Well, that's too bad." Taking advantage of the moment, the Raven look-a-like used her Dark Magic to throw Raven across the room- the latter crashed into Beast Boy, Starfire and Robin, all of which had just regained their balance.
"Yo! Tall, dark and creepy!" Cyborg yelled as he ran at Silhouette with a raised fist.
She smirked and simply vanished. She reappeared behind Cyborg and open his battery pack before ripping out some important-looking wires. The large man came tumbling down.
"I hate to leave a good fight, but life isn't fair, is it?" Diamond smirked, standing in front of Sonic Boom and Silhouette. "Sorry, but we've got to go." Aria came to her feet and coughed.
"Who are you!?" She demanded and Diamond smirked.
"I'm Diamond. The glitter girl." The leader stated.
"I'm Sonic Boom. The silent assassin." The boy of the group said.
"I'm Silhouette. The dark angel." The final member of the team remarked.
"We are The Terrible Trio." All three said in a unison.
"Until next time, Titan." Diamond smirked as she waved good bye. Silhouette draped her cape over the three and they were transported back to their base camp.
"Damn it!" Aria shouted and caught her fist in her hand. "I could have had them right there."
"Yeah, and you would have gotten hurt." Raven said, coming to her feet. Robin helped Starfire up. "We didn't know much about them when we got here, but now, we know more than they think we know." Aria nodded. She bent down and got a fist full of the glitter that had subdued her.
'If she got me by using glitter, of all things, I'd hate to see what they can really bring to the table.' Aria thought, then heard a familiar groan.
"Beast Boy!" She shrieked and ran to him. He was trying to come to his feet, but could barely manage. "BB, are you okay?" She asked, panicking.
"I-I'm fine, Aria." Beast Boy tried to sound brave, but his voice cracked on the last word. Aria's heart broke. She helped Beast Boy steady himself on his feet, the she slung his arm over her shoulder to support him.
"Star, could you get Cyborg and take him back home?" Robin asked her and she nodded. They left with Aria carrying Beast Boy, Starfire carrying Cyborg and Raven carrying Robin.
They got home and Beast Boy endured a brief healing session with Raven, clutching Aria's hand the whole time. Robin fixed and replaced wires that had been removed from Cyborg's battery pack and he was good as new. Everyone else had minor scrapes and bruises that were treated easily.
"You need to stop getting hurt." Aria teased Beast Boy when she saw he was well. "You're going to give me a heart attack one of these days." They were sitting on the couch in the living room, while Robin and Starfire were inputting The Terrible Trio's stats in the computer.
"Sorry." Beast Boy apologized and held Aria's hand. "I'm just glad you weren't hurt." He said and the girl smiled.
"D'aaawww." Cyborg cooed. "As cute as this is, maybe we should return our focus to the front of the class." He suggested and Aria blushed, but nodded.
The team of six began to share their observations, disclose information and talk about the trio.
Back at the base camp of The Terrible Trio, Diamond, Sonic Boom and Silhouette were counting their loot as they talked about their confrontation with the Teen Titans.
"Cyborg was just way too easy to take out." Silhouette boasted. "I mean, his weakness is so obvious." She shrugged and walked over to the fridge. She opened it and got herself a glass of orange juice. Diamond laughed.
"Out of all the fine wine we've stolen, you choose Sunny-D?" She asked incredulously and the dark one shrugged.
"Bad guys need to consume their Vitamin C, too, you know." She pouted and walked back to the large table where the other two were sitting. Money, coins and jewels were scattered across the table.
"What about the new girl?" Diamond asked, staring off into space. "I've never seen her before."
"Neither have I." Silhouette agreed and Sonic Boom nodded- not being the talkative type.
"And did you see the way she sneezed and threw herself against the wall?" Diamond asked, almost in awe. "I don't think it'd be a pleasant experience if she aimed her power at me." She admitted and Sonic Boom perked up, but not at the remark.
'Someone's here.' He mentally warned the girls. 'There's just one, though. Easy prey.'
Hello, all! Sorry I haven't been putting in my disclaimers. I've been forgetfula dn down right unmotivated, but this is a special message for a special person.
All three of the new OC's are 100% not my idea. That's right, I have a new co-writer (You lost your chance, Nat-chan).
It's SilentScreaming1944. I seriously shouldn't get half of the credit, because 83% of this chapter comes from her own little brain.
This girl is downright incredible and if you've got a problem, I will beat your ass! Excuse the language. Anyways, if yu like Teen Titan stories, this is your girl. Read Jump City High and you'll fall in love with it! Shout out to my girl that I've never met before! Yay for online friendship!
Heads up, however, since I'm new to the whole 'co-writing' gist, I won't be accepting any other people to help me. Sorry if you had your heart set on it, but I feel like I would disappoint a lot of people in the long run, so no help!
Just a reminder that I don't own anything from Teen Titans or Sunny-D for that matter. I just happen to like both of those things.
Enjoy the story and thank you for your support!
