Go: The Real Story

Full Summary: Find out what really happened the day the Titans met, the day they built the tower, and the day they became good friends. This is the story of their bumpy steps to a new life together, the relationships made, the secrets shared, and the comfort that they gained from each others' hearts.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Teen Titans, never will, never have. This is just what I thought might have happened, going against that lame excuse for an episode, which I hated enough to rewrite. Yea me.

Author's Note: OK, I sent everyone who reviewed a PM reply, and I'm extremely thankful to all whom are reviewing or are in the process of doing so.

Chapter 10: Meetings

Victor was finally able to understand. This girl, pale, quiet, delicate, sensitive, was extremely powerful. The black orb that had nearly cleared away a fourth of the city was of her creation. And now, because her mood had been lifted, the black, inky orb was receding, and in it's place, the buildings and roads still stood straight.

"Aright!" Victor ginned, "Go Raven! You're getting us out!"

Raven sighed. "I told you, I had nothing to do—"

"Raven!" Her attempt at lying was cut short with an all to familiar voice.

She spun around to find Garfield, smiling with all the happiness in the world, and Starfire, and Robin, the boy that Victor had claimed to be heartless.

"You guys are OK!" Garfield exclaimed, hugging Raven and Victor.

"Get…off…" Raven squeaked.

"Oh, right…" Garfield reclined, still smiling. "This is awesome!" He then turned to Raven. "What was that?"

The gig was up. There was nothing she could hide anymore. Then again, what had there been in the first place? Garfield was a changeling, Starfire could shot green fire from her fingertips, Victor was a Cyborg, and Robin…she didn't know what Robin could do yet. But of all of these new found companions, she felt unusually welcome.

"It's an energy field." Victor had answered for her. "Raven made it. I don't know how she did, but she did."

"How did you create such an awful thing, Raven?" Starfire asked, obviously puzzled.

"I…I don't…really know…" Raven ran over her thoughts again and again. As much as she didn't want to admit it, this was the truth. She could tell them that she was afraid, but was she? Or was the orb just an outburst of homesickness, a pang of love and misery for Azar's loss?

"It doesn't matter," Robin cut in, Raven glad that he had done so. "All that matters now is that everyone's safe. But we have to analyze this some how…"

"What do you mean?" Garfield asked.

"Something's up in the city. Explosions, attacks…you know this isn't normal. Something's going on…we have to find out what it is."

But until they did do anything, they began to talk, to get acquainted. And, of course, one of the first questions that popped up amongst the boys was Victor's armor.

He was at first surprised that no one had said anything , but he was beginning to wish they had. The silence held up too long. Until, finally, Robin asked, "Victor…what…um…is…"

"You wanna know about this stuff, don't you?" Victor asked, pointing to his titanium chest. "Long story short, I was in an accident. A lot of my body is made of metal parts…"

"You…you think you could make a weapon out of that?" Garfield asked, pointing to Victor's hand.

"Never tried it before," Victor admitted, inspecting the right arm before him. "Don't really know. 'Spose I could. Probably wouldn't be very hard."

The question broke the ice. Other questions soon emerged: why Garfield was green, why Robin wore a mask, what that red thing on Raven's head was, how Starfire could shoot star bolts, where everyone was from, how they came here, who they had to meet in Jump City.

And, as they realized, they really weren't all that different. When they were together, they couldn't feel more alike. And though they didn't want to admit it just yet, they knew that while tracking these strange events down, they would make a great team.

But the content didn't last long. Victor felt an urge of discomfort, as if someone or something was watching them. He knew it was due to the mechanical sensors in his red eye. But something just didn't feel like it was supposed to. His eyes meet Raven's.

I know, it's short…I'm very sorry to all of you. But…well, what happens next will fill more than one chapter. So I'm just gonna hold on to it. Good news? It won't take me as long to update Chapter 11 because it's already written down someplace.
