New Titans:

Chapter 19:

Hank Hall kept running, beads of sweat poured down his face and into hazel eyes. His light brown hair stuck to his forehead, as he kept on. His heart was beating fast against his ribcage, and he was begging to tire. 'I can't stop. Not now.' He thought, and pushed himself to keep going.

"Hawk." Don Hall said, as he walked into the gym and took a seat on the bench next to his brother's treadmill. His dark brown hair was neatly combed, as his deep eyes surveyed the room.

"What?" His brother snapped, and Don rolled his eyes.

"You've been running for three hours, just face it. You can't beat Kid Flash's score."

Hank paused the treadmill, and collapsed on the handlebars. "How. Did. He. Do. It?" He said, in-between pants.

"He's a speedster, remember? I doubt he was even trying then." Don said, and rolled his eyes again at his brother.

"Whatever." Hank said, and grabbed a towel. He stunk of sweat, and his body was covered in it.

"What is that smell?" Tara asked as she walked into the room, she stopped when she saw Hank and plugged her nose.

"Hit the showers." She ordered, and Hank winked.

"You know you like it."

Tara gagged, and looked at Don. "How can you live with…THAT?" She asked, and Don just shrugged.

"He's my brother, you get used to it after the first ten times he rolls in your bed after running a few laps."

Tara scrunched up her nose, and made a face. "Eww."

Don chuckled, and left Tara in there to train. She was about halfway done lifting weights, when Koma walked in.

"Tara? You okay?" She asked, and Tara nodded. Unbeknownst to Tara, her face showed an expression of complete pain and exertion.

"Fine. Just. Fine." She said, and lifted the weight up. Her arms struggled under the weight, and Koma grabbed it from her.

"I think that's enough for today, why don't you go and lay down?" Koma told her, and placed the weight back on the rack.

"That's a good idea, thanks." Tara said, and Koma watched as Tara wobbled out of the room.

Chuckling to herself, Koma grabbed the heaviest weight and lifted it without a bat of an eyelash. 'I need to call Victor, and get him to send some REAL weights over here.' Koma thought, and threw the weight away as if it was as light as a feather.

"How did you DO that!" Hawk yelled, and made his way over to where Koma was standing.

She shrugged, "All Tamaranians have the ability to lift objects that are heavier than ourselves, its called super strength."

Hawk rolled his eyes, "Can you teach me?" He asked, and looked at her hopefully.

Koma raised an eyebrow, and left the room. 'Can I teach him, what kind of question is THAT?' She thought, and met up with Don. "You're brother's acting a bit loopy, you might want to get him to lay down before he hurts someone…or himself for that matter."

Don just sighed, and dragged Hawk out of the room. Mumbling things about sexism, and egotistical pigs.

Koma laughed, and walked into the living room. Typing in a few things, she waited for someone at the Titans West base to pick up.

Nothing.

"Hmm…maybe they're still sleeping."

-Meanwhile-

-Titans West-

Cris stared at her starbolt in the mirror for a long time, then she looked at herself. Then back at the mirror, then at the starbolt itself. She looked different, not like Gar green or something. Just…different…and her starbolts? 'Oh boy.' She thought.

"CRYSTAL!" Kory yelled, and pulled her daughter into a large hug. Crystal didn't break the hug as she felt her father join in, as soon as they broke apart a strong pair of arms pulled her into a hug.

"Hey Uncle Vic." She said, and Vic smiled.

"Hey there lil lady, we were quite worried about you."

Cris smiled, and before she could respond, Boomer talked her to the ground. "Down, boy! Down!" She laughed, as the dog licked her face.

"Boomer. Come." Tim commanded, and the dog jumped off his mistress and headed to Tim.

"TIM!" Cris screamed, and flew over to him. Tim pulled her into a hug, and didn't let her go.

Cris took in the smell of Axe as he sniffled a bit. "Timmy…you are crying are you?" She whispered, and he sighed.

"What? No! Not at all!"

She laughed and pulled back to see Cass, "Who are you?" She asked, and Cass smiled.

"Cassandra Cain, its nice to meet you. You must be Sage."

Cris looked her over, and nodded. "Crystal, actually, but everyone calls me Cris." She stated, and Cass nodded.

"Cool." The girls seemed to mutually accept each other, and Tim smiled as Raven swooped in.

"What are all you doing in-" Her violet eyes landed on Cris, and without another word Raven swept her into a hug. "Crystal…you're okay." Her aunt murmured into her hair, and Cris buried her face in her aunts neck.

Raven was the one person, other than her mother, who Cris could go to about everything and nothing at all. Smiling Cris pulled back, and saw Raven's eyes watering. Just then the glass of water sitting by Cris' bed exploded, and Raven sighed.

"Damn." And the group laughed, as Raven used her powers to clean the mess up.

"Are you okay? Is everything intact? You do not have any other extra ligaments do you? Is there something wrong with your powers? If-" Kory was talking to fast, and she was forgetting to breathe in-between words.

"Mom." Cris said, and looked at her mother.

Kory exhaled, then inhaled again. "Crissy, I'm your mother I have the right to worry about you. Now, tell me what new developments did you gain?"

Cris smiled, "Watch this!" She lit up a starbolt, the small ball of red energy increased in her hand and then floated a few inches above. "I can control them now! Even the size of one! Isn't that cool?"

Staring at her, Kory's eyes welled up with tears.

Cris immediately felt bad, and looked at her mom with fear that she did something wrong. "Mom, I didn't….I mean…I'm sorry?"

Kory chuckled, and whipped away her tears. "No, no…Don't apologize honey, it just that your uncle could do the same thing with his. But, they are only used for defending himself. They don't hold a huge impact when hitting someone." She told her daughter, and memories started to fill her head.

Cris sat down, and closed her eyes.

Flashback:

A red moon was setting in a sky of pinks and purples, over the valley of white lilies were two figures.

"Uncle Ryan!" A little girl about four or five called, her green sundress was blowing in the wind as she spun around. Her black hair was floating in the wind, as her green eyes danced merrily. "Come dance with me!"

A man with prominent features, and striking green eyes with fiery red hair that was to his shoulders, stood a few feat away from the girl. His smile never faltered as he watched her, "I am fine with just watching you, Crystand'r. Keep dancing." He told her, and the girl giggled.

"Please?" She asked, and flew over to his side.

The man sighed, "If I must." He laughed as the little girl dragged him into the middle of the field and twirled him around.

End Flashback:

"Uncle Ryan!" Cris said, and smiled at Kory. "I remember! I remember everything!"

Kory smiled, and brushed a piece of hair out of Cris' eyes. "I am glad. Those are some memories that you will never be able to replace, no matter how hard you may try to." She paused and looked over at Dick, who was leaning up against the doorway and smiling.

"Everything okay, baby?" He asked her, and she smiled.

"Yes, Richard. Everything is just fine." She turned back to Cris, and kissed her forehead. "Now, what would you like for breakfast-"

"CRISSY BEAR!" Gar yelled, and Cris turned to him.

"UNCLE GAR!" She squealed, and Gar pulled her into a bone-crushing hug.

"I was so worried, you mother was worried and your father was a total wreck. Not to mention Rae, she was having a FIT. I mean it took a while for her to realize that you were in a coma, then she just SPAZZED! It was horrible, poor Bee took a vase in the back of the head."

Raven blushed at that comment, "It was an accident Gar, and stop blabbing."

"It's been so…weird not having you around, you know? I mean Vic and I didn't even fight over what we wanted for breakfast the next day, but that might be because he was still recovering for being spun around the room. You never know these days." Gar rambled on, and Cris rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love you too, Uncle Gar." She responded, and Gar smiled. He kissed the top of her head, and gave her a goofy grin.

"How about breakfast, huh?" He offered, and then they all turned to hear Kory's stomachs growl.

"Yes please?" Kory said, and blushed as she hid behind her husband's body.

"Alright then! Bacon, egg, and ham breakfast sandwich for the lady!" Vic yelled, and Gar glared.

"How about a healthy Tofu breakfast?" Gar offered, and Vic glared.

"Meat."

"Tofu."

"Listen Grass Stain, we're going to have meat whether you like it or not!" Vic said, and crossed his arms.

"Listen TIN MAN, we're having tofu. So get over it!" Gar shot back, and narrowed his eyes.

"Hey has anyone seen Karen?" Cris asked, and Vic looked over his shoulder at her.

"She's still sleeping, she's coming down with the flu." He said, and Cris nodded as he went back to bickering with Gar.

"Oh! I shall go make her some Glem'pork stew!" Kory said, and darted out of the room.

"I'm going to make sure she doesn't burn the stove…again." Dick said, and offered his hand to Cris. "You wanna piggyback ride?" He teased, and Cris flew up and landed on his back.

"GO DADDY GO!!" Cris yelled in a baby voice, and Dick just shook his head.

"No one in this house is sane, are they?"

Raven laughed, "Now you know what I've been wishing for every year."

Tim looked at her, then at Cass. They both shrugged, and followed Dick and Cris out of the room as Raven floated behind them.

"MEAT!!!"

"TO-FREAKIN-FU!"

"ME-Hey…where'd they go?" Vic asked, and looked around the empty med bay.

"Dude! They left us!" Gar whined, and both boys looked at each other.

"Who ever gets to the kitchen first wins!" Vic yelled, and took off.

Gar just smiled, and waited a few seconds. As if on cue, a black portal opened up in the wall, and Gar walked through it. He ended up in the kitchen, as Raven passed him a cup of coffee. "Thanks babe." He said, and kissed her cheek gently.

Vic ran in, and gawked at Gar. "How? You…and I…Fast?" Vic then collapsed on the floor, and Gar just shrugged.

"So tofu it is then?"

"NO!" The team yelled, and Gar sighed with a playful smirk on his face.

"I was just joking, chill guys." They all exhaled, and Gar trotted in the kitchen and grabbed some Tofu from the fridge and fixed some breakfast for himself.

"It is done!" Kory exclaimed, and Dick smelled it.

"Yeah…why don't you take that to Karen, honey. I'll make breakfast for the team." Dick kissed Kory, and watched as she trotted out of the room with a bowl full of a pasty yellow looking liquid.

"How'd it smell?" Tim asked, as he leaned over the counter and watched Dick make eggs.

"Like rotten meat." He stated, and sighed. "I love her to death, but she CANNOT cook for her life." Dick stated, and Tim smirked. "Don't." Dick warned, and Tim's smirk turned into a frown.

-3:32 p.m.-

-Training Room- Titans Tower-

Cass and Cris stood there, neither of them blinking or moving. Cass knew she could take her, Cris just woke from a week coma. She wouldn't be a strong opponent.

Cris smiled, she loved it when people thought she was weak. It made the victory even sweeter, she could tell Cass thought she was weak. She was wrong. Cris smirked coyly, and Cass returned it.

"Game on, princess." Cass taunted, figuring it'd annoy Cris.

"That would work…But I AM royalty. My mother is the princess of Tamaran, and so am I." She said, and Cass' face fell.

Cass charged, and caught Cris' arm in her grasp. She twisted it backwards, and Cris yelped out in pain. Cris rammed her head into Cass' and Cass let go of Cris' arm. The princess turned to the assassin's daughter and flipped her on her back, as her eyes glowed a faint red.

Cass clawed Cris' arm, and Cris yelped. She jumped back in pain, and noticed the warm red blood beginning to trickle down her arm. Her eyes glowed a deep red, and she punched Cass in the stomach. Cass countered fast, and swiped Cris off her feet. Cris laughed as she floated in mid air, and Cass grabbed her leg.

Cris kicked Cass in the face, and flipped in the air. Two starbolts ready, as she waited for a moment. Cass was lying on the floor, and Cris floated over to her.

"Cass? Are you-OOF!"

Cass tackled Cris to the ground, and Cris pulled her knees up and kicked Cass off her. Cass rolled over, and kicked Cris right in the stomach. Cris staggered back, and finally she got pissed off.

Two starbolts floated freely as she launched small ones at Cass. Making sure not to damage the Tower in the process, Cass ducked behind the couch and crawled around to get a better look at her situation.

Dick, Tim, Kory, and Raven watched in amusement as the two girls tested each other. All of them knew that Cris wasn't even trying, and that Cass didn't really know the full extent of Cris' powers.

Dick took a sip of his water, and smiled. 'That's my girl.' He thought, and kept watching the two girls spar.

Cris turned around, and Cass jumped on her. Knocking Cris on the ground, both girls fought to have the upper hand and Cris was getting even more annoyed with this…girl. Her super-strength kicked in, and Cris forced Cass down. She flipped her onto the couch, and grinned as Cass tried to move.

"UNCLE!" Cass yelled, and Cris smiled.

"Nice job." Cris complimented, and Cass smiled a bit.

"Thanks you too. Where'd you learn some of those moves?" She asked, and Cris jerked her thumb towards Dick.

"My dad." She said, and Cris flew up and sat down at the bench. She rested her head on Tim's shoulder, and Raven healed up the scratches on her arms.

"Hey, good job. I mean for your first time with a Titan, maybe next time Cris will be able to turn in up a notch on you." Tim said to Cass, as Cris was getting healed.

Cass glared, "What's that's supposed to mean. Are you saying she was going easy on me?" She asked, and felt a stab of anger in her gut.

"Well…yeah. I mean Cris, Kory, and Koma, they're extremely powerful. They might not look it, but those starbolts that she was throwing at you were just baby starbolts. Star's are larger and more powerful, and when they get real angry they could kill you with just a flick of their wrists."

Cass raised an eyebrow, "Oh, really?" She asked, figuring that he was just making this all up.

"Yeah, hold on here she comes." The doors opened then, and Kory walked out. She was accompanied with a smiling Karen, as both girls talked idly to each other.

"Karen? I thought you were sick?" Dick said, and looked at his team member carefully.

"I was, until I tried some of Kory's soup….thing. And it really made me feel a lot better, I don't know what she did to it. But, that stuff kicks in fast."

Kory nodded, and smiled. "That is why you do not see most Tamaranians with colds."

"Hey Kory?" Tim asked, and Kory turned to him.

"Yes Tim?"

"Could you do me a favor?" He asked, and Kory nodded. Tim then turned to Cass, "What do you want her to pick up?" He asked her, and Cass smiled.

"The bench, with all the guys on it." She said, and Tim nodded. The guys, including Vic who just walked in with new weights, who were eavesdropping, got on the small bench and Kory lifted up with ease.

"Is this it, Tim? I figured it would be something a bit more…heavier." Kory admitted, as she placed the table back down and dusted off her hands.

"…" Cass just stared, and her mouth kept opening and closing.

"Tim, Cass." Dick said, and they both turned to him. "Bruce is sending the jet over tonight, so you two need to pack. But, Tim you'll be back in two weeks for Christmas."

Tim made a whooping noise, and pumped his fist in the air. "Right on!" He cheered, and Cris just rolled her eyes.

"Joy." She said, and her voice dripped with sarcasm.

The group laughed, and Dick buried his face in Kory's neck. "Hmm…I love you." He reminded her, and Kory ran her fingers through his hair.

"I know, Richard. And I love you."

Smiles were shared between the married couple, as the other two couples in the room shared loving glances at each other.

Little did they know that their love would take them out of this world…literally.

-8:43 p.m.-

-Titans East Tower- Steel City-

Tara sat on the couch, and chewed on some popcorn. Koma was sitting next to her, and both girls were watching the Lifetime channel.

"This is just sooo depressing." Tara said, and grabbed more popcorn. Salty tears were forming in the girl's eyes, as Don and Hank sat down on the couch next to them.

"Yeah, I mean who would of guessed that it wasn't the husband's sister's ex-husband, but really her ex-lover that got a sex change and is now into the husband! And the poor wife, hearing that her best friend's sister is pregnant with her husband's baby!"

Tara nodded, and Don and Hank just exchanged confused looks.

CRASH.

"What was that?!" Tara asked, and her eyes glowed yellow.

Koma flew up, and scanned the room. Her eyes narrowed, and she flew over to the computer console. Pulling up the security footage, they saw a figure covered in snow walking through the main hall.

"He couldn't have broken in, or we would have been alerted." Don said, and they nodded.

"That means…he's one of us." Tara said, and the doors opened.

A man with a green suit walked in, he had on earmuffs and his hands glowed a faint yellowish-red color. His black combat boots were covered in snow, as he shook some of it out of his blonde hair.

"Hello…I am-"

-1:32 a.m.-

-Titans West Tower- Jump City-

"I just wanna play!" The girl whined, and Gar looked around the mall.

"I cant find you!" He called, and the same girl that was sitting on his lap two days ago was there again.

"I want my mommy!" She cried, and Gar reached for her. Her eyes glowed, and she snarled at him. "Now, now Garfield. Didn't your mommy tell you not to talk to strangers?" The girls voice was older, and it sent shivers up Gar's spine.

"W-Who are you?" Gar said, and tried to turn into any animal.

Nothing.

'Shit.' He thought, and kept backing up till he hit the pole.

"Consider this a warning, stay out of Deathstroke's way. He's got big plans for your…girlfriend…Garfield." The girl taunted, and she turned into a older girl about his age, and she lunged at his throat.

"NO!" Gar yelled, and sat up in bed. Sweat drenched his body, and Raven sat up.

"Gar?" She asked, and reached out to touch him. He flinched, and backed away.

"No…stay away from Raven." He yelled, and Raven looked at him confused.

"Gar, honey, it's me." Raven cooed, and Gar shook his head.

"No. No. No! STOP!!!" He begged, and tears fell out of his eyes. He was holding his throat, and shaking violently.

Raven turned on the lights, and hurried to his side. She shook him, "GAR!!! GARFEILD WAKE UP!" She yelled, and finally Gar's breath hitched and he snapped out of it.

"Rae? Oh thank God." He said, and pulled her to him.

"Gar what's going on?" She asked, and he sighed.

"I'll tell you in the morning. Right now, could you put me into a dreamless sleep?"

Raven nodded, and waved her hand over his eyes. "Sleep." His body went limp, and he was encased in black energy as she lifted him on the bed. Draping the covers back over him, Raven snuggled into his warmth, and buried her head in his chest.

"I love you, Rae." Gar murmured, and pulled her close.

"I love you too, Gar." She said, and waved her hand back over his face. "Now, sleep my love." She said, and fell into a dreamless sleep herself.
