What if... the titans found Starfire instead of Terra. Take place instead of "Terra" episode.
"Titans! Trouble!" shouted Robin. In a moment, all the titans left what they were doing and ran towards him. He was looking out the window, towards the canyon at the edge of the town. In the distance, there was a tiny point flying in the air, followed by a giant scorpion.
"We have to help her!" shouted Robin again, needlessly, because everyone was around him.
"Ok, but don't shout..." warned Raven.
"Titans! Go!"
In a blink every titan moved: Raven started flying towards the tiny point, while Beast Boy morphed in a crown and flew quickly next to Raven; Cyborg and Robin exited from the tower and waited motionlessly. All of a sudden, the ground where they were standing started shaking and lifted. Slowly, it started flying behind the others titans, gaining velocity. Behind the two boys, Terra was controlling the rock, her eyes yellow widened.
The titans arrived just in time to see the girl trapped in a dead end way, with the scorpion right behind her. Robin smiled (he loved to be the knight who saved the woman in troubles) and said
"Titans!" and he was supposed to say also "GO!" but something stopped him; he stared at the girl: she wasn't the usual woman in troubles: she turned and faced the monster. In a blink, her hands were surrounded by a strange green aura, and the following second the scorpion was on the ground, unconscious. The girl nodded in satisfaction, and then turned, looking full of suspect to the staring titans, confused by the sudden victory of the girl. She wasn't an ordinary girl, it was obvious, what ordinary girl would have walked so serene in a desert lost in the middle of nowhere? The girl was tall, about 5 and half paces, she had long orange hair. She was wearing a purple top and a very short purple skirt, with long purple boots; the titans were too far to see the colour of her eyes. The girl was still staring at the titans, when she slowly took fly and got near them: the titans were unsure about the right thing to do: was she a friend or a potential enemy? It looked like the girl was thinking the same thing, and nobody was intentioned to break the silence, waiting the first move of the other. Then the girl spoke:
"Ohmygodyou'resokindyouwenttorescuemecanwebefriends?" (A/N: yes, all together. She said it quickly).
And hugged Raven so tightly that she could barely breath. With her face became red Raven said:
"Please... Help... she's killing me!"
The others didn't knew what to do, but in the end Robin took the initiative and tapped slightly on the girl's shoulder; she turned and left Raven, only to embrace tighter Robin.
"You too want to be my friend? How lucky I am!"
Raven was retaking breath, but as soon as her face return to her normal pale colour, she said to the girl:
"can you please let him go? I think you're suffocating him..."
The girl looked Raven and left Robin.
"Oh, I'm sorry... hope you're ok..."
"Don't worry..." coughed Robin.
"oh, by the way, I'm Starfire... Pleased to meet you..."
"We are the titans" said Robin with a new found pride "here there's our changeling Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, the one you squeezed before, Terra and me, Robin".
"Pleased to meet you all... you are the famous titans, the teenage crime fighters? Cool! I've heard a lot about you!"
"Really?" said Robin, proudly
"No, but it sounded rude say that I've never heard of you".
"At least you're honest" said Raven, slightly amused by the spontaneity of their new acquaintance.
"Thanks"
"Do you have a place to stay for tonight?" said Robin.
"To say the truth, no. I was thinking about some youth hostel or a bench in a park..."
"Why have a free room, why doncha sleep with us in the tower?" asked Cyborg
"Oh, thanks, it's been a while since I slept in a real bed..."
The titans moved silently towards the tower while the girl was telling her story: a sad one. She was sold like a slave during her childhood by her parents and it was an year since she had escaped from her slavery. When she finished, there wasn't a single eye dry. Even Raven's eyes were wet because of the tears, but they were hid under her hood, so no one noticed it.
"But now I'm ok... I passed a beautiful year travelling all around the galaxy and seeing very beautiful planets... Sometimes I feel so lonely, true, but I feel good... better than slavery..."
Hours passed and night took day's place. With the newborn shadows, the young alien girl fell asleep in the room the titans gave her, and our heroes make a council in the kitchen.
"We can't let her go... she's too young and she doesn't know much of our planet... and I think she's nice..." said Robin, really worried. Beast Boy looked him and nodded with a small smile, understanding what was really happening in his friend heart.
"For me it's ok... we need an hand... villains had been very active recently..."
"Cyborg?" asked Robin
"Same for me..."
"Raven?"
"She's ok, but don't ask me to become her best friend, ok?"
"We'll see... Terra?"
"No."
After Terra's answer an heavy silence fell into the kitchen. All the titans looked in Terra's eyes, waiting for an explanation, but she simply added:
"Do as you wish... you're 4 against 1, but I don't trust her right now." And left the room.
Robin ignored her melodramatic exit and said:
"So we're ok... she's staying... as a titan."
Terra slammed her door behind her shoulders. She was very angry. Everything was going perfectly, why that damned girl had to arrive right now? It was a big problem... she needed help. She took out from her belt a small communicator and pressed some buttons. Slade's face appeared on the screen.
"Yes, my apprentice?"
"We have a problem, master"
"Titans! Trouble!" shouted Robin. In a moment, all the titans left what they were doing and ran towards him. He was looking out the window, towards the canyon at the edge of the town. In the distance, there was a tiny point flying in the air, followed by a giant scorpion.
