They Were Us-Chapter 1: History and Homework
Adjusting his black shades, Tim grinned into the mirror. With his blue polo shirt, and cream slacks, he had to admit that he looked good. Victor came up behind him and ruffled his jet-black hair, which, prior to Vic's attention, had been set perfectly.
"Vic," He whined, desperately trying to get his hair back the way it was. "It took me twenty minutes this morning to get my hair to sit straight this morning. Why did you have to stuff it up?"
Victor laughed. "Who you trying to impress? You haven't dressed up like that since Kory first came" A look of realization dawned on his face, and his grin grew wider. "You ain't trying to get the attention of a new one, are ya?"
"No!" Tim denied a little too loudly. The other boys in the toilet all looked at him.
"Who is it?" Victor asked, forgetting the fact that his friend was already going out with another girl. "Is it a new one?" Tim gave him a dirty look, and continued to smooth down his hair. "Is it that one Johnson was chewing up yesterday?"
Tim coloured right to his roots. "No-oo"
"It is, ain't it?" Victor hooted. "You've fallen for the Gothic!" He started to laugh even harder. "Shut up!" Tim hissed.
"I... Haha... can't... ha... believe it..." Victor was bent over with mirth, attracting strange looks from anyone that entered and left the bathroom. "Bad marks in math" Tim explained to one blonde boy. "He's really cut up about it" The boy just nodded and left, still watching Victor as though he was going to explode.
"Will you cut it out?" Tim seethed. He glanced around the toilets top make sure no one else was in there. Seeing no feet under the doors of the cubicles, he said, "If anyone had heard you, Kory would be on me like a ton of bricks!"
"Kory?" Victor stopped his laughing as he remembered the friendly exchange student. She hadn't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment. "Sorry dude. I didn't mean it"
Tim just smiled. "Yeah, I know. Come on, I have to get going or else that new teacher is gonna chew my ass"
As they left, Johnson stepped down from the toilet seat, smirking. Wayne had a crush on the Gothic Bitch? This was too good to be true.
******************************
Raven sighed as she took her seat. This day was just getting worse and worse. First, she had that Johnson creep follow her around all morning, making sure that the other students heard exactly what he thought of her. It wasn't as though she couldn't fight back. She could, but she didn't want to draw attention.
Now she was stuck in this horrible classroom, not one of her teammates here.
That's when he walked in.
Her history teacher grinned at her, the nasty demeanor underneath not changing. "Ah, fresh meat I see. And you would be?"
"Deirdre," She replied evenly, not letting him know how much he unnevered her. "Deirdre Shant"
"Funny," He murmured. "You look more like a... Raven to me" She was saved from his next remark when the door burst open, revealing a panting Tim.
"Sorry Sir," He gasped out between breaths. "I was talking to Mr. Kent"
"Timothy, please, take a seat. We will talk about your tardiness after class" Raven saw something flicker with their teacher's good eye, and instantly her chant came to mind. 'Control it,' she scolded herself. 'You can't do that here'.
Tim looked at the class, scanning for a free seat and seeing the only one next to the Raven girl he had met yesterday. Sliding into it, he threw a brief smile her way. She ignored it. Disgruntled, Tim faced the front again. Why hadn't she smiled back? Everyone smiled back. Girls, guys, teachers, the cafeteria ladies... everyone smiled back! He saved her from that Johnson creep, and this is how she repays him? By ignoring him? For Pete's sake, he'd even dressed up for her!
His eyes widened under his shades. Did he just think that? Had he really dressed up for... her? Risking a glance over at the Gothic girl, he frowned. He had.
Finishing what he had written on the board, the substitute teacher waited. "For your assignment, I'm going to spilt you up into pairs, and you are going to choose a "hero" who has impacted... our world" He smirked right at Raven. "Isn't that right, Miss Shant?"
She gave him a cold look. "Yes, Mr. Slade. I suppose it is"
*****************************
Tim walked out of his History class as though walking on air. He and Raven had both been paired off for the assignment. And, to make things better, when he had asked her if she wanted to meet him at their lockers in the afternoon so they could go to the library, she had said yes!
He supposed it should have disturbed him that he was excited that he was going to go out with another girl when he already had a girlfriend, but that thought was quickly brushed away. This was different. Raven was new, and needed friends. He just happened to be a friendly kind of guy, that was all. Hearing a commotion coming from the front doors, Tim sneaked a quick glance...
And almost fainted.
Standing there, in front of the doors looking like she had just walked off a tropical commercial, was Kitten.
Before he could hide behind the water fountain, she saw him.
"Oh, Timmy-Poo! Over here!" Marching through her fan club, she promptly placed herself right in front of him. Battering her mascara-massacred eyes up at him, she asked in that whining tone of hers, "Did you miss me?"
Trying to edge away, Tim mumbled something about having the time of his life. Kitten pressed herself closer, making him sweat. All he needed was for Kory to come around the corner and-
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BOY?"
He sighed with relief when Kitten detached herself from him. What he didn't like, was the dangerous look in Kory's eyes. Raising her hands in a threatening way, she started to growl. "Why have you come back here! You were meant to be far, far away! You are an... an.... UNPLEASANT PERSON!" Everyone who knew Kory gasped. Coming from the happy exchange student, that was a very deadly remark.
Kitten flicked her blonde hair over her tanned shoulders. "Pul-lease. Timmy- Poo is so too good for you. Go back to wherever you came from, you silly girl"
Looking like she was going to murder the other girl, her host-sister, Linda, pulled her back. "She's not worth it!" Hissed the brunette into Kory's ear. The green-eyed girl stopped, and glanced down at her friend. "You are right" She glared coldly at Kitten for a moment, then left, nose in the air.
Tim sighed, and started to follow her when Kitten's voice stopped him.
"You lot never change, no matter where you are, do you?"
Looking at the serious expression on her face, he was about to ask what the hell she meant, when her demour dropped, and she blew him a kiss. "Later, Timmy-Poo!" She laughed and went back to her groupies.
Tim frowned, disturbed. It wasn't just the fact that Kitten had turned up, there was something she knew that he didn't. That, was disturbing.
*************************
Gar sighed. He had just seen that gothic chick, walk by the table, and was pretty sure that he was in love.
Victor elbowed him. "Oi, what are you daydreaming about?"
The younger boy just sighed.
Wally grinned at Tim, who just shook his head. Pulling Garfield's green dyed hair, Wally asked, "Who's the lucky lady?"
Gar sighed again, muttering, "Raven"
Victor threw Tim a sharp glance, who just looked down at his tray. Why should he care who Garfield had a crush on? It wasn't like he didn't have a girlfriend.
Speaking of girlfriends, where was Kory?
Hearing footsteps behind him, he looked up, hopeful it was his Tarmaran girl. When he she who it was, his face dropped.
"Hello Timothy," Purred Mandy Anders, Kory's older sister. Tim just muttered a hasty greeting. Not deterred by his bored tone, Mandy placed a hand on his shoulder. "You wouldn't happen to know where my beloved little sister is, would you?" She smiled at him, the gleam in her dark eyes making him shudder.
"Actually," He said, trying to reclaim his shoulder, "I was on my way to find her" Giving the others a desperate glance, pleading that they play along, he managed to worm his way out of her grip. "Must fly," And with that he dashed for the cafeteria doors.
Mandy frowned unhappily. Turning to the remaining boys, she asked, "What's gotten into him?"
They shrugged and avoided her eyes. "Probably forgot to ask Kory to the Flower Formal" Suggested Wally, finding his tuna sandwich fascinating. "You know Tim, so focused on other things, he'd forget his head if weren't screwed on"
Flicking a strand of ink-black hair over her shoulder, Mandy frowned even harder. "Just wait, Robin," She whispered. "Just you wait"
***********************************
"Hey there Gotham! Don't be blue, Frankenstein is ugly too! ALRIGHT, LET'S GO! ALRIGHT, LET'S GO! If you think you're upper class, you can shove it up your- ALRIGHT, LET'S GO! ALRIGHT, LET'S GO! Strawberry milkshake, banana spilt, we think you're a pile of- SHIFT TO THE LEFT, SHIFT TO THE RIGHT! COME ON, JUMP, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"
Tim smiled as he watched Kory and the rest of the squad perform their traditional war chant. It was always a hoot to hear it when he was out on the field. Seeing Kory execute a perfect spilt, his smiled widened. When she had join the Jump High Cheerleading Squad, Kory had been a total klutz. Now, seven months later, she was the star of the team.
Seeing Kory look his way, Tim waved. Instead of jumping up and down, as she would have done normally, she turned her head the other way.
"Ok," He muttered under his breath. "This is weird"
Waiting until the squad finished practice, Tim grabbed Kory's arm. She yanked it away, glaring at him coldly.
"Kory," He pleaded, sick with trying to figure out what he'd done now. "Kory, what's the matter?"
She turned her large green eyes onto him, angry. "You were flirting with that horrible creature!" Came her outburst. Calming, she added coldly, "I can not forgive that just yet, so I think we should part"
Tim just stood there, shocked. Hastily, Kory said, "Only for awhile"
He just nodded, and watched as she turned, and left the gym.
***************************
Raven slammed the door to her locker with a loud BANG! Today, had not been her day. Before she had left her time, Bruce Wayne (Who, she had gathered was in this world, Robin's father), had warned her that there could be a good chance that the Titans enemies would be present. She had expected the silly ones, like Kitten, but finding out that there was a Slade in this world, and he was her History teacher, was a surprise. The fact that Slade had been hinting at her real name, set off warning bells. Really loud, warning bells.
One good thing had come of this. Robin. Having the luck to be paired off for the assignment, he had asked if she wanted to go to the library after school to work on it. The invitation was nothing itself, but the fact that he had asked, was a good sign. Maybe he was remembering his former life.
Maybe he was remembering her.
"Uh, hey Raven"
She came back from her thoughts, to see Robin (Urgh, Tim! He was Tim in this world!), waiting for her, a small smile on his face.
"Hello" She greeted. Opening his locker, Tim pulled out his bag, and stuffed the books that he'd need into it. "Lets go" He smiled at her and together they walked out of the school.
"You wanna grab a snack first?" He asked as they turned a corner. Raven shrugged. "If it will not interfere with our work" She looked at him, and saw the grin she knew so well creeping onto his face.
It was interesting to see that even in a parallel universe, Robin-Er, Tim- found a way to avoid showing his eyes. She gave a ghost of a smile back.
Tim felt happy. He knew that he shouldn't, considering for the first time in his life he had been dumped, but being with Raven... was different from being with any of the other girls.
They kept walking for a few more blocks, talking about what classes they took, to what lessons they liked best, until they came to a one story, T- shaped building.
"This is the Tower," Tim said proudly, sweeping his arms in a dramatic gesture. "The best place for anything that isn't healthy!"
He held out a hand to Raven. Eyeing it she asked, "Is that there because you believe I won't be able to make those five steps, or because you feel like playing the gentleman?"
The grin didn't falter. "I want to be helpful"
She sighed, and walked into the diner without the help.
******************************
Kitten smiled, seeing Raven and Robin enter the parody of their former home.
Stupid Titans. At least, this time round, that alien freak didn't have her powers. Smoothing back her silky blonde hair that her daddy had paid thousands for, she consoled herself with the fact that she'd only have to worry about the Goth.
"Have they entered?" Asked a soft, husky voice from behind her. Kitten turned in her car's seat, and grinned. "Yep, they're in"
"Good. I'll go get the boys and see what we can do to help"
Kitten just bared her teeth in a glass-shattering smirk. "If you're anything like your counter-part from my world, I think you guys should do fine, Jinx"
The pink-haired girl just laughed, and motioned to her companions, Gilbert and Michael. "We'll just have to see, won't we?"
AN: Urgh! Let's try this again; "Deirdre" is Celtic for "Sorrow" (See, NavynBabyBlueSuedeShoes, it ain't Aussie). I forgot the fact that Raven had her chant-y words, so I made a completely new name up for her. As for Robin, since this is a Rav/Rob thing, I took the first name from the other version of Robin (Timothy Drake), and gave him Bruce's (Batman) last. It'll come into play later.
Extra points to the ones that can tell me what characters I've introduced! I'm sorry if this chapter was too fast, or too confusing, but, hey, you lot will live with it!

Kitten just bared her teeth in a glass-shattering smirk. "If you're anything like your counter-part from my world, I think you guys should do fine, Jinx"
The pink-haired girl just laughed, and motioned to her companions, Gilbert and Michael. "We'll just have to see, won't we?"
AN: Urgh! Let's try this again; "Deirdre" is Celtic for "Sorrow" (See, NavynBabyBlueSuedeShoes, it ain't Aussie). I forgot the fact that Raven had her chant-y words, so I made a completely new name up for her. As for Robin, since this is a Rav/Rob thing, I took the first name from the other version of Robin (Timothy Drake), and gave him Bruce's (Batman) last. It'll come into play later.
Extra points to the ones that can tell me what characters I've introduced! I'm sorry if this chapter was too fast, or too confusing, but, hey, you lot will live with it!
Thanks guys, for reviewing. This chapter might be a little off... I was kinda, distracted when I wrote it *glares at kitchen table who spent the whole time insulting her* One day, ONE day...
Keep tuned, next chapter: Hello HIVE! Who wants to rumble?
