RM: (1)Since the last chapter was pretty much 5 pages of Teen Titans POV, I think it's only fair to switch ovea ^_^
(2)Huh...I guess it DOES look like I'm making this fic a Rae/Robin, but I don't think it's like that....Anyway, think what you like on that issue! That's all I'm gonna say!
(3) Ok, I tried three times to upload this story with a link to a site that had short bios for some of the new recruits, but it would just disappear. If you want the link I have it in my bio. ((but it might take up to 24 hours to show up and all that fluff, so if it's not there please check back later))
Question: someone reviewed ((as you might have seen)) under the name "~_~" and I gotta ask them something: who's we?? LOL, if someone could clear me up on that lil' detail, that'd be great ^_^ Do you know how many PAGES that review was?? 15!! lol

Do We Know Each Other?
Chapter 6
8:30 PM. Amara carried the popcorn bag into the living room and sat down next to Sam on the couch. She opened it, took a handful, then passed it to him.
"Thanks," He said shyly, taking some.
"'Welcome," She smiled.
"This ends at eleven, right?" Kitty asked.
"Yup," Bobby said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:23 PM. Jaime had been asleep since 9:15, Kitty wasn't sleeping yet, but would yawn every once an a while, Jubilee was leaning against Bobby with her eyes closed, and Bobby, Sam, and Amara had been making fun of the serious parts of the movie for quite some time.
"Aww, all out of popcorn," Bobby said, looking into the empty bag.
"I'll go," Sam said.
"It's okay," Amara got up and stretched. She yawned as she walked across the foyer and though the kitchen door. Once again she opened the bread box ((why they kept popcorn in a bread box was beyond her)) and popped it in the microwave. "Popcorn button, popcorn button," She whispered to herself, squinting in the dim light. "Ah-ha," She said, pushing it. Beginning to hum lightly, she hopped up on the kitchen table and swung her legs back and forth. The movie wasn't that good...she could drop off the popcorn then go do something else....but it WAS ten something....her thoughts were interrupted by the microwave beeping. She jumped down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Amara walked back into the living room Sam and Bobby were laughing about some part in the movie. She sat down, then got back up again.
"I'm thirsty, anyone else wanna coke?" She asked.
"Sure," Bobby said.
Sam got up. "I think I'll get water," So the two walked across the foyer and into the kitchen. He opened a cupboard and got a glass while Amara searched the refrigerator, finding a "secret" stash of coke in the very back behind some vegetables. She grabbed two and closed the refrigerator door.
"Ya ready?" Sam asked, glass in hand. She nodded and opened the kitchen door.
"Ahhhhh!" The two cokes dropped to the floor with a clank.
"What?" Sam asked from behind her. There in front of her was what seemed to be a boy with really huge eyes. "Who are you?" Sam asked.
"Who are YOU?" He shot back. Amara stooped down and picked up the coke bottles, glad it was dark so they couldn't see her blushing.
"I asked you first,"
"I asked you second," He protested, crossing his arms.
"It doesn't matter who asked first," Amara said, straightening. "Who are you?" The boy seemed to ponder for a moment. She rolled her eyes. "I'm Amara and this is Sam, that good enough for ya?" She asked. Even though the dark they could see him smile.
"Beast Boy," He said proudly. Sam pushed past Amara and stared down at the boy. It was obvious he hadn't seen Sam behind her very clearly, because he gulped loudly. He moved over to the side, seeming to be scared of him. Amara smiled. Everyone did that when they first saw him. She might have done it herself for all she knew, but of course, he was about a foot shorter two years ago. To put it shortly, he was tall, very tall.
"Why are you here?" Sam asked. **Beast Boy...Beast Boy...where have I heard that before?!** Amara thought.
"Oh!" She said aloud. The two boys looked at her. Again she blushed. "Aren't you one of the kids Rogue went'n got?" She asked.
"Yea...." He said, then looked up at Sam. "Don't hurt me," He squeaked.
Sam smiled. "Come on," He said to Amara.
"'Kay,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What took you guys so long?" Bobby asked.
"There was a kid there," Sam said and sat down.
"Oh. You missed the part where he jumps off the bridge and onto this semi and--" Amara sighed. The movie wasn't that great. Some guy who was being chased by the CIA or whatever. **I could say I'm going to bed...** She thought, but that was lame. **Hey, they don't need to know where I'm goin',** She bit her lip.
"Bye guys," She said.
"Bye," And they both went back to their conversation. **Easy enough,** She thought. Something caught her eye as she walked past the front door. **Huh?** She looked around. No one. Slowly walking towards the door, she stared at the door knob. She swore she had seen it move through the moonlight coming from one of the skylights. As she entered the ray of light herself, she saw something through on of the big windows. **Who's that?** There was the outline of a person walking through the grass and onto the sidewalk leading to the driveway. Again she looked around her. She could just go see who it was......The door creaked loudly as it opened and she slipped out into the cool night.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, what was that?" Sam asked.
"The door?" Bobby wondered. Jubilee sighed in her sleep. Now everyone but the two boys were asleep, and that was just plain creepy. "Where'd 'Mara go?"
"I dunno, but she wouldn't go outside, would she?"
"Crap, you know Duncan and his freaks are still comin' around at night, right?"
"They are?"
"Yup, they tried to brake into the second floor last week,"
"Oh yea....hey, wasn't she the one ta--" Sam's eyes got wide. "You don't think if they were there they'd..."
"Maybe," Bobby said.
"Think we should go?" Bobby looked down at Jubilee, who was still curled up beside him.
"Come on," He said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*****************************************************
RM: Awww, isn't that cute? Sam and Bobby lookin' out for Amara ^_^
*****************************************************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"GET DOWN!" Jubilee's eyes shot open. **Ugh** She closed her eyes and relaxed. It was only the TV. **Wait--** She opened her eyes again. Where were Bobby and Sam? **Aww,** She thought with a smile. At the other end of the couch Kitty and Jaime where both sleeping, Kitty's head on his shoulder. **She is gonna freak when she wakes up…poor guy....** She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Where had they gone? And Amara? Where was she? She stood up, knees wobbling. How long had she been asleep? She walked out of the small open living room and was about to turned to go up the stairs when something caught her eye.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You think they'll be here?" Sam whispered.
"I dunno, maybe," Bobby admitted. He stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.
"What?" Sam asked, stopping too.
"That," Bobby pointed.
"What is it?" Sam squinted though the blanket of darkness.
"I don't know," Bobby said slowly. "But I think we should hide before they sees us,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Why's the door open?** Jubilee thought. She peered though it. No one. But what was that? **Is that-? Why the heck are THEY out there?** The thought crossed her mind of calling out to them, but she decided against it. She knew as well as anyone else who's room was on the second floor that Duncan and his fools were out to get them. All they had done was defend themselves, but they couldn't heard the end of it from Lance. He thought it was funny. VERY funny.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why do you want me?" Bobby and Sam strained to hear from behind the bush they where hid.
"I told you, all will be revealed later," The first voice seemed to be a teenage boy, maybe eighteen, but the second definitely an older man. The second seemed somewhat familiar....
"I need an ANSWER,"
"No you DON'T, I will give you the information when I'm ready,"
"Well it better be quick," The sound of skin hitting skin made the boys jump.
"I will tell you when I like!" The deep voice hissed.
"And I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen sooner," Bobby looked to Sam with an expression he could only read as shock. He shrugged in response. To their surprise the deeper voice chuckled.
"I like you, boy, you have your own ideas,"
"And I keep them,"
"We'll see about that," And with that one of the two figures began to fly upward, a dark cape blowing in the wind. And as he flew across a ray of moonlight, the two boys caught a glimpse of a helmet on his head.
"Magneto," Bobby whispered, staring after him.
"Is that Duncan?" Sam asked.
"Yea,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the X-Men slowly made their way downstairs the next morning some looked to others with raised eyebrows and small smirks, while the majority just stared in shock.
"Doesn't she have a BOYFRIEND?" Some of the new recruits asked.
"They broke up…I think...I'm not sure...no wait, I am...no I'm not...anyway, it's a maybe," Another said. Rogue slowly made her way down the stairs. She had had next to no sleep. A trial of thought kept haunting her mind. First it was the big oak tree in the front yard. Then it was Duncan. After that it was Magneto. Where these came from she could care less, all she knew was she would personally take Duncan out herself for keeping her up all night. As she rounded the stairs she almost choked on her own tongue. What was Kitty doin' on the couch...next to JAIME?? **Girl,** She thought in disgust. **He's waaaay too young f' you,** She whipped around just as Lance practically flew down the stairs. He narrowly missed her, and all he did was smirk. She cursed him in her mind, but only glared. He stopped dead in his tracks. **Oh this outta be a good,** Rogue thought, leaning against the wall. **You dumped HER, 'member?** She mocked him in her mind. He had gone around after they broke up, saying HE had dumped HER, although it was far from the truth. Rogue herself had seem him cry when she walked away from him that day. His expression changed from surprise to anger. He shoved some of the recruits out of the way and stood over Jaime. In seconds he had him up by his collar. Jaime woke with a jerk.
"Get off'a her!" Lance yelled at him.
"Hey, wha'd I do?!" Jaime asked, struggling to get loose.
"Lance!" Kitty yelled in terror. "What the hell are you doing?" He looked down at her.
"You stay out of this," He went back to Jaime, who was looking more and more confused.
"YOU," Lance snarled.
"You look cute when yo' yelled," Lance turned around to see Rogue with her hands on her hips behind him, throwing daggers with her eyes. "That's what ya told meh. An' here ya are, beatin' up on this kid b'cause he was sittin' with yo' ex-girlfriend. Hum, now THAT needs explainin'," She said, narrowing her eyes.
"Rogue, shut up," He said.
"Ah don't think Ah will. Ah think Ah'll go on. You told meh she was so ovea. Ovea, Lance. You said Ovea. This looks far from ovea. It looks like ya still have a thing f' her," Kitty shrank back on the couch. What was happening? Lance slowly lowered Jaime to the floor, shoving him in the direction of the couch. He stumbled, but caught himself.
"You have no idea, Rogue," Lance was saying.
"Actually, Ah think Ah do. You can't make up yo' fricken' mind. Well Ah'll do it for you. If yer gonna kept goin' with that little flirt game, leave meh out'a it," And she marched up and grabbed Kitty's arm, pulling her up the stairs and into their room. Lance stormed into the kitchen.
"Are you okay, Jaime?" Someone asked.
"I...still don't know what I did..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Show me, show me, show me

There was a knock on the door. Jubilee pulled off her headphones.
"Jubilee?" Bobby said though the door.
"Who is it?" She asked, trying to disappear in her big purple blanket.
"Come on, Jubi, we've got a team meeting,"
"I'm not coming," She said.
"Jubi, I'm sorry, 'kay?"
"What?" She said, confused. **Why would he say that?** She wondered.
"I was sent to get you," He opened the door and she tried to hid under her blanket even more. "And…and that's what I'm gonna do,"
"Now you're their messenger boy?" She asked from under the blanket.
"Jubilee, come on," She lowered the blanket from her face.
"They don't need me,"
He shook his head. "Why would you think that?"
"Because it's true," She said. She looked to the door behind him, then leaned close to his ear. "I know about Duncan, how can I help?" She whispered.
He smiled. "Come to the meeting," He whispered back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone looked up as Bobby and Jubilee walked into the meeting room.
"Was DUNCAN in your room again, Jubi?" Lance asked. Fireworks balled up in her hands, but she pulled them back. **He's gonna get what's coming,** She thought and sat down.
"As I was saying, we have some guests that will be staying with us for a few days," Professor Xavier said. He smiled at five teenagers sitting across from him at the big table. "You might have met him some of them, but I will introduce them in a formal manner," He gestured to a tall boy who's face seemed to by half machine. "Cyborg," the boy nodded. "Robin," He flashed a 'half-smile'. "Starfire," The girl smiled. "Beast Boy," This boy, with odd green fur-like skin, wiggled his fingers and darted a nervous look to the girl to his left, the last to be introduced. "And Raven," She gave no acknowledgment whatsoever, nor did she take her eyes off the professor.
"As you can tell," He said, looking from one to the other with a friendly face, "there are many young people living here, and it would take quite some time to go around to every one of them, so I'll introduce some of the older students that you can ask some questions," He nodded his head in the direction of a man wearing sunglasses. "Scott Summers, one of my first students here at the institute. Next to him is Jean Grey, over there is Rogue, and of course Ororo, Hank, and I can be of assistance if needed,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RM: Sorry for the hold up, guys. Okay, there's a little secondary plot going, as you might have guessed. Uh...okay so there are like two secondary plots....but you already know about that one ^_^. The one I'm talking about is the "Duncan" incident. There were a few hints about it in this chapter. We know that he's out to get the kids who's rooms are on the second floor, right? The floor he and some friends tried to brake into. And there was stuff about him being mad at Amara and Jubilee especially, right? Just listing the facts so you can get an idea in your mind of what's to come, so you won't be completely shocked, like my beta, lol. Please review! This chapter took me a while longer because I got a bit of writers block of a day or two ^_^
(2)Huh...I guess it DOES look like I'm making this fic a Rae/Robin, but I don't think it's like that....Anyway, think what you like on that issue! That's all I'm gonna say!

"As you can tell," He said, looking from one to the other with a friendly face, "there are many young people living here, and it would take quite some time to go around to every one of them, so I'll introduce some of the older students that you can ask some questions," He nodded his head in the direction of a man wearing sunglasses. "Scott Summers, one of my first students here at the institute. Next to him is Jean Grey, over there is Rogue, and of course Ororo, Hank, and I can be of assistance if needed,"

RM: Sorry for the hold up, guys. Okay, there's a little secondary plot going, as you might have guessed. Uh...okay so there are like two secondary plots....but you already know about that one ^_^. The one I'm talking about is the "Duncan" incident. There were a few hints about it in this chapter. We know that he's out to get the kids who's rooms are on the second floor, right? The floor he and some friends tried to brake into. And there was stuff about him being mad at Amara and Jubilee especially, right? Just listing the facts so you can get an idea in your mind of what's to come, so you won't be completely shocked, like my beta, lol. Please review! This chapter took me a while longer because I got a bit of writers block of a day or two ^_^
