Chapter 2: The New Guy

Writer's Note: Special thanks to BobCat for his aid with this chapter. Go read his "Ballads of the Physics Police." Now. Trust me.

"But don't you think Savior is just a WEE bit egotistical? I think Live Wire or Coil or something else would be more thematic." Robin said as he turned into the T-Tower's driveway.

"ONE, I have TOLD you why I took the name, and TWO, at least it SOUNDS good. You're named after a songbird! At least your teammate Raven's name has an aura of menace in it, you know, once upon a midnight dreary and all that. But you? If I was going by your name along and not your incredible skills, I would laugh and ask what are you going to do, sing me to death?"

"That dead horse is so dead it became the horse version of Lazarus, Savior." Robin commented as they got off the bike. They had spent the whole trip arguing (good-naturedly, of course) on the merits of titles as a meta-human secret identity.

"Fine. But I don't think that if I join your group I'll have the worst name."

"Oh? Who has the worst name? Me?"
"No. Cyborg."

"What? Why?"

"There's no creativity at all! It just describes what he is! It would be like you being "Adolescent Man", Beast Boy being "Green Hairy Guy", Raven being "Broody Goth Girl" and Starfire being "Naïve Alien Chick." And I'd be…uh… "White Man With Useful Rope Ability and Weird Hair…" no wait uh…"

"You just better hope that Cyborg never hears you say that." Robin said as he put in the code to open the door and headed in with Savior.

"Oh I won't say it to his face, but then again, what could be worse…" Savior was saying when he heard a loud voice coming from the next room.

"I HAVE IT! THE WELDER!" Cyborg semi-yelled. Savior and Robin sweat-dropped.

"Did they hear us?"

"No, they're playing "World's Worst."

"His power is that he carries around welding equipment, and his origin is that he got laid off during government cutbacks." Cyborg said. He, Beast Boy, and Starfire were sitting around the couch.

"Oh oh…THE CABLE GUY! He has the power to turn all television programming into a French translation of Barney and Friends, and he got his power by being struck by a lightning, no, a RADIOACTIVE lightning bolt!" Beast Boy crowed. Starfire was looking back and forth between the shape shifter and metal man with confusion and a little fear.

"Uh…Lessee…AHA! THE PURPLE MAN! He has the power to secretly control people's minds, only it isn't so secret because their skin turns purple at the same time, and he got his power by…touching purple toxic waste!" Cyborg retorted.

"I don't understand this game…" Starfire said.

"It's called "World's Worst", Star. You have to think of the worst, aka bad, thing you can for something. In this case, it's metahuman names, powers, and origins. Like your name is Starfire, you can fly and throw energy and you're strong, and you got your powers because you're an alien and you trained for them." Cyborg explained.

"My things are bad?" Starfire exclaimed, looking like she was going to cry.

"NO NO NO! Yours are great. We're trying to think of BAD ones." Beast Boy explained.

"Look, you know how a lot of the bad guys we end up fighting have pretty lame names and superpowers?" Cyborg said.

"Yes." Said Starfire.

"So, what you do, is combine totally unlikely and unrelated stuff to make a superhero with a name that is stupid, powers of some sort, with extra points given if the power is also stupid, and give him a stupid way of getting his powers.  You get more points if it violates the known laws of physics." Cyborg explained.

"Yeah, like the one that Robin one with last week…"The Whizzer", who can run fast and got his powers from an injection of mongoose blood." Beast Boy said.

"Um….uh….er…Starfire said, looking confused. "Oh, I know! A young boy, named Changeling, gets his powers from a theoretical and never duplicated base similarity between the genetic structures of humans and mammals.  He can change into any animal that he can imagine, although his furry skin remains green despite the fact that the animals he shares a relationship to don't have green fur." Starfire said, grinning happily as she finally provided an entry.

"YEAH! HA HA HA! That's good Star! Ha ha…HEY WAIT A MINUTE!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Did I do it wrong?"

"I'd say you did! THAT'S MY ORIGIN!" Beast Boy yelled. Cyborg burst out laughing as he realized it was.

"I give…Starfire wins until next week…" Cyborg managed to gasp out. Starfire grinned happily.

"No she doesn't!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Are they ALWAYS like this?" Savior asked Robin.

"Pretty much. Before you turn into a Yellow-Fanged Farting Mantis and pounce on Starfire, Gar, I may point out that brawls between you and Cyborg never go well, and Starfire can muster more firepower then Cyborg can at a moment's notice. So she wins."

"Yay! I won! Oh…wait…I am sorry I insulted you Gar."

"I outta…" Garfield Logan steamed.

"Oh man…I think I'm gonna have a hernia…ha ha…hey wait, who's he?" Cyborg said, as he finally saw Savior.

"I'm Robin's prom date. Can't you tell?" Savior said.

"…Uh…I hope he's kidding…" Cyborg said.

"YES! YES HE IS!" Robin yelled. Savior started to say something else when Robin elbowed him in the gut.

"Owtch!"

"Oh Robin, be nice…" Gar said, as he transformed into one of those monkeys that have REALLY big eyes to get a better look at the stranger.

"This is Savior. He wants to join the club." Robin said.

"Savior? Isn't that kinda arrogant?" Cyborg said.

"YES. I KNOW IT DOES SOUND THAT WAY." Savior said through gritted teeth. "CAN WE DROP IT AND MOVE ON."

"What strange hair! It looks so pretty! May I feel?" Starfire said, floating over to Savior while looking at his pointy white hair.

"Uh…ok…"

Starfire joyfully reached out and grabbed two handfuls and yanked.

"OW! I SAID FEEL! NOT STEAL! OW!" Savior yelled as Starfire pulled his hair too hard.

"Ohhhhhhh, sorry…I am just doing all things wrong today." Starfire said, looking sad.

Robin elbowed Savior in the gut again.

"OW! What did I do now!"

"Something. Now guys, Savior wants to join. What do you say?" Robin said.

Savior had a bad feeling when a wicked look came into the eyes of Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg.

"Hey Starfire, I have a new word for you today." Cyborg said.

"Oh goody! What?"

"HAZING."

Meanwhile, in the hall of the Justice League…

"So, should we let this Green Arrow join our team?" Superman asked.

"I vote we put him through some tests to see what his commitment level is." Batman said.

"So, in other words, hazing?" Flash asked.

Batman glared at Flash. "No, hazing is for the immature."

"And now for the blindfolded 'Leap of Faith'" Robin told the blindfolded Savior. "For this test, you must have such trust in your would be teammates that you know no matter which one of us drew the lot, we will catch you."

"Look, I watch the Simpsons too, OK?  I know that once I step off the edge, I'm just going to fall two inches, hit the ground, and then you all get a good laugh.  Well, if that's what I have to do to join this team, fine, here I gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!!!!!!!!!!!" Savior echoed as he fell of the end of the tower.

Starfire swooped down and caught him before he hit the ground. Three feet before, to be exact.

"I think I have to do it again, my blindfold fell off." Savior moaned.

Some time later, Savior could hear the giggles from Beast Boy and Cyborg as he tugged at his blindfold. "Can we do some combat tests or something guys?"

"No, we have this test. We call it 'Crossing the Desert.'" Robin said, and then shoved Savior before he whacked him on the rear with a paddle. Beast Boy and Cyborg did the same thing. Starfire had been unable to find her paddle and was still looking.

"OW! Will you quit it with the Simpson Stonecutter things!" Savior yelled.

"Ok ok, and this we call 'The Unblinking Eye'" Robin said, turning Savior around.

"It better not be the same th-OW OW OW!" Savior yelled as the three whacked him with the paddles again. "THAT'S IT! There will be no "Wreck of the Hesperus" or "The Paddling of the Swollen Ass With Paddles" for me!" Savior yelled, ripping his blindfold off.

"Ok ok, maybe we…"

"I found my wood hitting stick!" Starfire said joyfully as she flew down with a paddle behind Savior.

"NO WAIT!"

WHACK!!!!!!!!!

"OH MY GOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Savior yelled as he flew twenty feet through the air and landed in the nearby lake.

"Somehow that's even better." Cyborg said.

Later, Savior was sitting on an ice pack and groaning to himself. His possible teammates had started another ritual: Twenty Questions. That wouldn't have been so bad if Robin hadn't somehow managed to get his hands on Wonder Woman's truth-telling lasso.

"How did you get that anyway?"

"Hey, we're the one who's asking the questions here!" Robin said as he wrapped the lasso around Savior's arm.

Starfire got to go first, as the four had five questions each.

"What is your real name?" Starfire asked.

"Noel Collins. Aw man guys, I wish we knew each other better before I revealed that!" Savior said.

"Where did you live before here?"

"New York."

"I vote we give her questions to someone else! She doesn't get the point!" Beast Boy complained, wanting Savior to admit embarrassing things.

"Titans Charter Beast Boy, we all get to ask questions." Robin replied, though he silently agreed with Beast Boy.

"Do you waste all your spare time playing video games?" Starfire asked.

"Video games are silly."

"OK, I vote we expel him NOW!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Don't hurt yourself with all those big words now." Cyborg commented.

"What is your favorite movie?" Starfire asked.

"Man Bites Dog."

"Ohhhh who's in that?"

"No one you'd know."

"She even wasted her LAST question! ARGH!" Beast Boy groaned.

Cyborg was next.

"Ok, hypothetical situation. Beast Boy and I are both in extreme danger. You are in the position so that you can save both of us, but you can only save one of us. Which one do you save?"

"……………..I would try my damndest to save both of you, no matter the cost. I cannot make such a decision." Savior said.

"Ok…how long have you been a metahuman?"

"…About two weeks."

"…..Have you ever faced another metahuman in combat?"

"…….No."

"Then what makes you think you're qualified to be on this team?"

"I don't think I am qualified."

The whole group was silent.

"Wow, now THAT'S honesty! Now for something less life or death. Do you want a room facing the sun in the morning, in the evening, or doesn't face the sun at all?"

"….Evening."

"Ok, Beast Boy next." Robin said.

"YAY!"

"Why don't I feel good about this…" Savior muttered.

"Ok! What's the single most embarrassing thing you've ever done?" Beast Boy asked.

"Tried to rob a bank."

Stunned silence again.

"I'm afraid I have to use one of my questions to ask you for clarification." Robin said.

"I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I got my powers…so I tried the path of evil to see if it appealed to me. It didn't. I felt pretty rotten about the whole thing…" Savior muttered, clearly ashamed.

"Did you keep any money?"

"No. Dropped it in the bank. Left it behind."

"……Ok! Now for the REAL question…Wonder Woman or Black Canary?"

"………Black Canary. She strikes me as more…accessible."

"Same here. So, let's see…if you don't like video games, what do you like?"

"Pondering the state of humanity. That, and grape juice."

"If we need a forth player for a game of Mechracer X, would you be willing to give it a shot?"

"What's with all the video games? Oh sure, torment the inexperienced meta! Remind me to button mash." Savior muttered.

"Well, I'm last, and since I used one, this is number two. You said you weren't qualified to join this team. What would make you feel qualified?"

"Experience I guess."

"How did you get your powers?"

"I'm not sure…there was this truck crash and I got sprayed with something...I think it was paint...and then another truck crash and I got sprayed with something else, and then all I can remember is some faint pain and then I came to in a subway bathroom looking like this."

"Ok, if I gave you an order you felt was wrong and there wasn't time to debate, would you follow it?"

"…….Depends."

"That's the best answer there is without specifics. Now, the most important question of all. If you get this question wrong, it will put massive strain on your stay here…..fried, scrambled, or over easy?"

"………..Wha? Uh…scrambled?"

"You pass!" Robin said.

"Ah good…but why?"

"Well, thing is, none of us can make good eggs over easy."

"Ah, that was good. Remember when that guy Speedy tried to join?"

"Yeah, he gave up with the first question I asked…" Cyborg said.

"Yeah great, now can you unhook this damn thing already! I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!" Savior complained.

"BUZZ!" Cyborg went.

"OH SCREW YOU!"

Robin undid the whip and handed it to Beast Boy. "Remember, under cover of darkness, or not at all."

"Right. But before that…"

"The most important part of hazing…" Cyborg said.

"EXTREME OVERINDULGENCE!"

"Kill me now. Please just kill me now." Savior muttered.

"Now, since the Boy Blunder over here doesn't like us to use anything we can't get legally, it took us a long time to find anything good." Beast Boy said as he rummaged through the fridge.

"But then one day we had Japanese Takeout and made an amazing discovery: soy sauce contains minute quantities of alcohol!" Cyborg said.

"Don't tell me I have to drink a whole bottle of that stuff…" Savior said, looking sick.

"Of course not!" Cyborg said. Savior looked relieved.

"You have to drink a DOZEN bottles!" Beast Boy said as he came out of the fridge with his arms full of bottles. Savior looked ill.

"Guys, I have a sensitive stomach…"

"Hey, we ALL had to do this." Robin said.

"What? I mean…Starfire's an alien! You don't know what Earth food could do to her! You could have poisoned her!' Savior said incredulously.

"I don't think so. She loads up her takeout with enough of the stuff to kill a water buffalo. It's where we got the idea." Robin said.

"Plus, she likes mustard in her drinks. Hey! Idea!"

"No! Please no!"

Savior was saved, thankfully, by the sound of an alarm.

"Uh oh, we're needed!" Robin said.

"Looks like the Injustice League is at it again!" Cyborg said, looking at a computer.

"Let's go Titans!" Robin said.

"So uh, how are we gonna get there, do we have a Titanmobile or do we hoof it?" Savior asked.

"What's with this WE stuff? You're not an official member yet." Robin said.

"WHAT? What ELSE do I have to do?" Savior said.

"WE'RE gonna go deal with the bad guys, but you, in lieu of drinking the soy sauce…clean this place up!"

"WHAT?"

"Gotta go now bye!" Robin said as he ran out of the room. Savior spun around and saw the other Titans had left as well. Then he did a slow turn, looking at the landfill the Titans called home.

He cast his eyes at the nearby closet, and then walked over, opened the door and walked in.

A few moments later, he walked out with Shimmer holding every single cleaning instrument he could find.

"Let's dance, BE-YOTCH!"

What followed was a frenzy that Martha Stewart would have been proud of.

Raven drifted through the shadows, as Robin finished off his mental contact with her. He told her they were on a mission, but they had it in hand and she could just go home. She wasn't in a hurry to get back from the personal things she had been doing, so she took her times, drifting peacefully along.

"Stay behind and clean, eh? I'll show you clean! Oh yes, I'll show you!" Savior said as he walked along the hallway. He'd cleaned the main room and kitchen until it had shone and was now branching out. He found a door that lead to Beast Boy's room and was nearly buried when he opened a door and a pile of clothes nearly fell on him.

"ARGH!"

After twenty minutes of whirlwind activity, Savior left the room, looking pleased. He went up in the elevator and into the next room he found.

Man, it was a mess! Stuff written on the walls, tattered curtains and bed spread, a light bulb so caked with grime it was nearly black (Savior had never seen a blacklight), and all sorts of other stuff.

"Man, what a mess!" Savior said, and got to work.

If Raven had moved quicker, she may have realized what was happening to her room.

But she didn't.

And she didn't.

Rather tired, Savior trooped back into the main area, putting most of the cleaning stuff back.

"Thirsty…" Savior said, opening the fridge.

A moment later Savior was running back out of the room, heading back for the cleaning stuff. He'd missed something. Oh did he ever miss something.

Raven drifted out of the shadows into the main area, slowly lowering herself to the floor.

Her eyes arched.

The place was clean. REALLY clean. Was she in the right building? All the junk that annoyed her was either gone or neatly arranged. Hell, the ever-elusive remote had even been placed on the cleaned coffee table.

All the garbage seemed to be gone, and the only indications of where were two garbage bags in the hallway. That was made even stranger that there were NEVER any garbage bags around. Her teammates never threw ANYTHING out. Usually they left stuff until she couldn't take it any more and teleported it away. So why…

Raven walked into the kitchen.

Savior didn't see Raven at first as he was restocking the "food" he had removed from the fridge with the fresh stuff he had ordered via a credit card he had found lying near the phone. He had finally decided on a good arrangement and was closing the door when he heard the words behind him.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"

Savior was turning around when the black energy appeared around him and slammed him against the fridge, as Raven floated over.

"Who are you, the maid?"

"Huh…you must be Raven. Hello, I'm Savior, a possible new member of your team. Could you please put me down, this energy is making my skin crawl!" Savior said.

"New member? I didn't hear of any new members…"

"Would a villain come into your base, clean it up, and buy you food? If you know someone like that, please tell me, because for a villain he's a work of art."

Raven thought it over, and then dispersed the black power she commanded.

"Ok, but you try ANYTHING…and I'll break you in half. I don't like being deceived." Raven said.

"Don't know anyone who does." Savior said.

"Did you move my tea?"

"Is it in the fridge?"

Raven cast him a glowering look that was obvious even with her face hidden by her hood.

"Right, teas are generally not in fridges. I deserved that."

Raven nodded and took a step to the right.

"Hey watch it there's still some soapy patches…"

Raven's foot slipped.

The Shimmer was out and supporting Raven even before she could activate her telekinesis. She glared at Savior again.

"Sorry. Gentleman's habit." Savior said.

"I don't need your help."

"Right. Look, why don't you sit down and I'll make the tea so you don't slip again?"

"I could just float. I can make my own tea. Plus, you'll never make it right."

"I know how to make tea."

"Not my brand."

"Try me."

"And if you don't?"

"You can break me in half. Or smack will a paddle like your teammates were doing."

"Why were they…forget it, I don't wanna know…" Raven said. But she sat down at the table. She was a bit tired and someone else making her tea was somewhat appealing.

Even so, she gave Savior precise, biting instructions on how to do everything, including how many times to stir it (seven and a half quick twists, three long slow ones, just in case you were wondering). Noel calmly followed her instructions, not wanting to be paddled, or broken in half.

"Pour it carefully." Raven said as she took down her hood.

"Gotcha." Savior said as he carefully poured a cup. "Would you like cream and su…gar…" he continued as he turned around and finally got a look at Raven's face…and stopped dead.

"What?"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….um, nothing. Sorry, spaced out there for a second." Looking at your lovely face. Why do you hide such a vision behind…whoa! What am I thinking? Must have been something I ate, I never had this happen. What am I thinking? Love at first sight is a cliché among clichés…

Raven took her tea cup and sipped it.

Savior got ready to run if she grabbed a paddle.

"…….Pretty good. For an amateur."

"Glad you like it. Want anything else? A cookie? A fruit?" My eternal undying…ARGH! It must be something I ate! A person cannot just look at someone and ARGH! This isn't a Harlequin romance novel!

"Your name was what again?" Raven said, sipping. Savior sat down and retrieved a Coke from the fridge via the Shimmer.

"Savior."

"Savior? Isn't that…?"

"Rather pretentious? Yeah, I get that a lot." Savior said. "I got it from this fire I helped stop when I was first…testing my powers. A little girl had inhaled a lot of smoke, I had to give her CPR…she pulled through, woke up, saw my hair, and asked "Are you my angel savior?" There was just something about those words…it struck a chord in me. So I called myself Savior. It's not me being arrogant. It's just what I wish to be."

"Noble intentions. Such grand lies." Raven said.

"Oh? How so?"

Raven arched an eyebrow. She had expected an immediate protest from the new guy: he looked green and idealistic. But maybe his literal "bright" demeanor gave that impression.

"My teammates and I save lives and protect those who do not have the power to protect themselves…but why? Nearly all of those people who will go to waste their lives, throwing away their potential for their petty hatreds and needs and addictions…make me wonder why I even do it sometimes."

"Is the alternative better?" Savior asked.

"……..No. But…why save someone if there's no real point to it?"

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, says an old saw. We can only save them, we can't tell them what to do with their lives. When you start doing that, you end up with the Hitlers of the world."

"Hitler. He was a fascinating man, wasn't he?"

"In a way. I don't suppose you supported the whole "take over the world and kill everyone besides people with blonde hair and blue eyes" thing did you?" Savior asked.

"No! Just the man…not the deviances that drove him and brought hell to the surface of the earth…" Raven replied, interested that she could actually speak candidly with this "Savior" without people complaining. She remember when she had tried to make a logical conversation on what she felt were some failings among black people and Cyborg had gotten mad and accused her of being racist. It had nothing to do with skin colour, it had to do with people. Odd how she, a half-demon, seemed to understand that better.

"Yeah, it makes me think. What is Hitler HADN'T been insane? What if he just wanted to improve Germany? If it had been just that…Germany these days would be a superpower on par with the United States. Hell, it might even have surpassed the States." Savior said, taking a drink of his coke.

The two spoke for about an hour, on various political and societal subjects, finding they agreed on a good many things (abet not all. Raven had no real interest in politics and Savior was slightly right wing). Raven was surprised: she wasn't the talking sort. But Savior was clearly well-educated and pretty centered, much like herself.

They were in the midst of talking about Vietnam when a loud racket interrupted their conversation.

"Ahh, my teammates return, and hence by their presence do I oh so delightfully rejoin the great unwashed." Raven said sarcastically. "See you later, Noel."

As Raven was leaving, Savior finished up his coke and threw the bottle away as the voices got closer.

"Man, I don't know why those guys even bother any more…"Robin was saying.

"Did you see how Copperhead screamed when I turned into a snake?" Beast Boy laughed.

"Yeah well, we're home at-AHHHHHH! MY EYES!"

"The light! It burnssssssss!" Beast Boy wailed.

"What is going on? Where is this painful illumination that you speak of? I see nothing bad…except I wonder if we are in the right place…"Starfire asked, looking around.

"I see you like my cleaning." Savior said as he came out of the kitchen.

"Geez Noel, I said tidy the place up, not Martha Stewart it! Man!"

"I'm a tad bit anal retentive."

"Gee, you think?"

"Oh yes, I also did your rooms. Beast Boy, I tidied all your clothes and colour coded your CD'S, Robin I arranged all your costumes, and Cyborg, I put all those Playboy's under your mattress in chronological order."

Cyborg blushed furiously, even as Robin and Beast Boy gave wicked grins.

"Play…boy?" Starfire said confusingly.

"Oh Star, you see, there are lots of lonely people who-OW!" Robin yelled as Victor stomped on his foot.

"It's a magazine! That's all you need to know!"

"Oh. What did you do to my room Savior?" Starfire asked.

"Oh well, I…" Savior began to say, and then suddenly a shriek could be heard in the distance. "What the…"

A moment later Raven teleported out of the shadows around the group's feet and grabbed Savior around the neck.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM!?!?!?!?!" Raven shrieked as she shook Savior like a rag doll. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET IT EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED IT?!?!?!?!?"
"Ahhhh! Dying! Need air, help!" Savior gasped as Raven continued to strangle him.

"Raven, knock it off." Robin managed to say, though it looked like he was struggling to keep from laughing hysterically. Savior had cleaned Raven's room! He must have had a secret death wish.

"No! He must die! Die! In pain!" Raven yelled as she continued her asphyxiation. Starfire finally pulled her off.

"What did, hee hee, you do man?" Cyborg chuckled as Savior gasped and grabbed his throat, gratefully sucking in huge gasps of air.

"HELLO KITTY! EVERYWHERE! OH MY GOD, MY ROOM! KILL YOUUUUUUU!" Raven yelled, launching herself at Savior again.

"Raven, calm down! You don't wanna wreck the tower again, do you?" Robin said, as he and Starfire tried to hold Raven back. At the mention of "Hello Kitty" Cyborg and Beast Boy had collapsed on laughter.

"Stuff was so dissecated, needed new stuff…couldn't go shopping, so borrowed some stuff from Starfire's room…I just wanted to do a good job…" Savior said.

"Well people, if you think Savior deserves to be a Titan, give me an aye!" Robin chuckled.

"Aye! Aye yi yi, of this guy could be great for entertainment…" Cyborg laughed.

"Aye!" Beast Boy said.

"Aye!" Starfire said, grinning.

"Nay. You die soon." Raven said, glaring at Savior with a look that could pierce steel. Savior grinned sheepishly.

Savior was, like before, saved by the alarm.

"What now, did the Injustice League break out ALREADY?" Robin said as he went to check the alarm.

"No, new problem! Some kind of monster!" Cyborg said, checking his computer again.

"Anyone we know?"

"I'm not getting anything!"

"Ok then, let's go! You too this time, Savior. Let's see how well you are in the field."

"And you DIE when we get back, Noel." Raven said as she yanked her hood back up.

"Grand. I'm a Titan…is that a good thing?" Savior asked.

Well, Savior has passed the tests and become a Titan! And despite his little misstep, it's clear Raven set something off in him!

Raven: That lump in his throat may be emotion, but when I'm done, it will be his liver!

Calm down you! I'm the announcer here! Next chapter, the new team faces their first threat? What will happen, besides tons of things being broken and blown up? Tune in, next Titanic Time, next Titanic Channel!

Savior: Next TITANTIC Time? What the hell is that? Someone fire that announcer!

Raven: At least they didn't close with that insipid theme song…

T-E-E-N!

T-I-T-A-N-S!

Teen Titans, LET'S GO!

Raven: ARGH!
