---

The Titans plus two had just finished their very animated dinner which was filled with chatter. Mealtime conversation consisted of what the Titans East were up to, finding about Mishelle a bit more (mainly how many kinds of Tamaranean dishes she could stomach), and the usual battle of tofu vs. ham. Mishelle sat contentedly between Raven and Bumble Bee and watched Beast Boy and Cyborg duke it out in the middle of the dining room. She turned her attention to the light giggling she heard across the table from her and saw Starfire and Robin flirting…

'They at it again?' Mishelle jumped at the unexpected mind-contact.

'Oh, sorry. You probably aren't used to this yet…' Raven said calmly.

'It's ok. Are you as bored as I am, Miss Raven?' Mishelle steadied her breathing again and looked at Raven from the corners of her eyes.

'Miss Raven?' she raised an eyebrow at Mishelle 'You seriously don't have to be so uptight around here. We aren't the justice league, you can relax.'

'Um, right. Sooo, is this like a normal night at home for you guys?' she tried to make herself more comfortable.

'Well, usually, on a night when nothings going on we watch a movie. We take turns picking.'

'Who's turn is it today?'

Raven thought a minute before responding. '… Yours.' The girls stared at each other, rather, Mishelle was gaping, and Raven was nodding. Mishelle thought she could see a smile in her eyes, though.

'What are you talking about?'

'Well it's my turn tonight, but I'm giving it to you. If you pick, we can learn a bit more about you, and you won't have to be so uncomfortable. Oh, and you'll probably learn something about us based on our…' she chose her words wisely, 'opinions.'

The girls shared a very light chuckle and this definitely caught everyone's attention.

"Uhh… Were you two just laughing, or have BB and Cyborg finally driven me insane?" Robin inquired, his mask now not at all proportional as his eyes were two different sizes. Mishelle couldn't help but smile at how unprofessional he looked for once. Raven cleared her throat and tried to play it off.

"We were just talking about movie night. I thought we should let Mishelle pick. You guys mind?"

"Movie night! Yeah! I almost forgot." Beast Boy grinned eagerly at Raven.

"Aw, the ham is all cold anyway. What movie did'ja have in mind, Mishelle?"

'Cy, don't put her on the spot like that. She's still pretty uneasy!' Raven sent to Cyborg who looked rather surprised she was defending this new girl.

"Oh, well… how about you guys?"

"No, no, no. We'll all be fine with whatever you want. We'd just start bickering again anyway." Robin stepped forward and received nods from the group.

"Um… Okay, sure." Regardless of the encouragement, she still took a few moments to think of something she thought they'd all enjoy… "how about--"

Briiing! Briiing!

The Tower alarm sounded and red lights flashed throughout the common room.

"Trouble?!" Mishelle jumped up and the gang sprang to the monitor.

"Ugh. It's Mumbo, guys. Titans, GO!" they all charged for the door, Raven taking hold of Mishelle's wrist and pulling her out in the process.


Bumble Bee flew in front, Starfire carried Robin, Cyborg was on Beast Boy's pterodactyl back, and Raven created a platform for her and Mishelle.

"Raven? I know you need to concentrate, but I didn't see this coming, and I don't know if I can-"

"It's alright. Nobody's expecting anything from you. We can handle this, so just stay out of sight and be careful." Raven said in her most assuring tone.

"Oh, uh, thanks." Mishelle smiled timidly at Raven, who was still staring intently ahead, but she knew she saw. The gang landed just outside the front door to the massive bank Mumbo was in the middle of robbing. As Mishelle was gazing up at the huge and ancient-looking building, she felt Raven tap her on the shoulder. She turned and Raven gestured with a nod of her head towards a nearby alley. They nodded to each other and Mishelle went to conceal herself just at the opening to the darkened alleyway so she could safely observe. No sooner than she had turned around did she hear the large doors of the bank swing open and the maniacal laugh of someone whose triumph was surely to be short-lived.

"Using the doors now, are we, Mumbo?" Cyborg taunted.

"What, you run out of smoke and mirrors?" Robin followed.

"The Titans! Oh don't worry your little heads, I've got plenty more tricks up my SLEEVES!" the deranged magician flung out his arms and bats poured out from his black satin sleeves. Robin sounded their signature battle cry and the fight began and ended in a flash. With a last few snappy words from Robin, the police escorted Mumbo to prison. Cyborg summoned his T-car and everybody but Raven and Beast Boy piled in. Raven waited as Mishelle emerged from behind the exhaust from the cop cars and Beast Boy stood beside her, holding the door open. Right when Mishelle put her first foot in the car, the chivalrous shifter suddenly shouted:

"Wait a sec!" and all heads turned towards him expectantly. "We don't have enough seats for everyone." He explained and the group began counting mentally.

"He's right." Robin added.

"Wow. Who would've guessed Beast Boy could do math." Raven teased, but didn't give anyone a chance to reply. "I'll fly home."

"No!" Mishelle burst. And received curios looks from the team. "You must be tired. I can walk. Besides, it might be good if I learned my way around if I'm going to be here for a while." Mishelle played with her cloak awkwardly and stepped away from the T-car. She looked up to meet everybody's concerned faces.

"I'll be alright. Really." She offered her best smile and they all reluctantly began to leave. She watched them go until the small silver, blue, and red dot disappeared and then began her walk.

"Geez, what a day." she said to herself and looked up at the endless dark blue night sky.
