Teen Titans

You think I own the Teen Titans? You're crazy! I wouldn't have to put it on if I was the owner of something so cool!

In other words, please don't sue me, I own nothing.

Actually, in this chapter and following chapters, I own my characters.

Not anybody else's, though.

Chapter 4:

Inside

"Dude! Where are we?" Beast Boy asked, noticing the sudden change in scenery.

"It looks like a bar!" Cyborg said, and it did. There were several people filling the tables as a tall woman with short blue hair waited on them. A blond man was yelling out orders in French in the back room. There was a general hustle and bustle as people ordered and didn't drink. Even those who seemed to be drunk weren't drinking.

"Excuse me, could you tell me where we are?" Robin stopped the waitress on her way by. She looked at him like he was a total idiot.

"We're in Lestat's Bar, of course. How new are you?" She said, looking over his head easily, "Oh, my boyfriend just arrived. Lestat! I'm off duty!"

"You are not! It's still three hours to sunrise!" The Frenchman emerged from the back room with a very aggravated look on his face. "Niobe!"

"Live with it, vampire." She said, sticking out her tongue and walking off with a man in a brown suit. He swore in French for a moment, then turned to the Titans.

"Do you want something?" He asked very elegantly, considering that he was very distracted and annoyed looking.

"We're looking for--"

"I said to put the vodka over by the cherry syrup! If you weren't an extra, I'd fire you!" He shouted, running over to where someone with a large X covering his face was setting a barrel. "If I wanted it by the Blood-wine, I would have put it there myself!"

"This is getting us nowhere." Raven stated.

"I thought you said you were working with her! Shouldn't you know where we are?" Cyborg said, feeling very freaked out by this whole scene.

"Let us leave this place." Starfire agreed.

"We can't leave until we find her, thereby finding the exit." Raven said.

"Then we better keep searching. Follow me." Robin said, leaving the bar. They found themselves on a downtown main street. There was a market to their left and an empty apartment building to their right. Across the street was a spa. There were a few cars parked, but nobody driving. There was only three people walking down the street. The strangest thing was that it was bright outside when the vampire had just said that it was still three hours until sunrise.

"Poppa! Can you get me Exodia?" The young girl with light hair and two purple streaks was asking the male. He grinned and looked uncomfortable. The lavender haired woman, who was walking arm-in-arm with the man smiled.

"You know that Yami-san's Exodia is for him alone. If it wasn't, I would have bought it with my vast fortune for Jonouchi all the way back in the Battle City saga."

"Excuse me!" Starfire shouted, flying across the street. As soon as she had entered the road, a red convertible whipped around the corner, hit her and drove off. Starfire looked stunned, but not hurt as she continued on to where the three were walking. They all looked at her with surprise.

"Who are you?" The young girl asked in surprise. "Are you supposed to be here?"

"Jonouchi! Protect us! That girl just got hit by Akio and is just fine!" The woman said, grasping onto the man just to do it.

"What's going on here?" Jonouchi was saved by a deep voice, belonging to a man that had just stepped out of the shadows of an alleyway.

"My friends and I are looking--"

"Shadow Game!" The boy with spiky hair shouted suddenly, a golden eye appearing on his forehead and zapping Starfire. This time she was more than stunned and turned to the Titans, eyes unfocused and drooling.

"What was that for?!" Robin demanded, catching Starfire before she fell, although he was not sure how he moved that fast.

"Oh. She must be a major character, since she wasn't vaporized. It'd take her to the healers if I were you. There's a blood drive going on today for the local vampires." Said the purple haired woman as she patted Robin on the head and took the man's hand. "Bye!"

"Wait!" Shouted Cyborg, running after the couple, since the man from the shadows had disappeared into them once again. When they went into a building and Cyborg could no longer find them, he returned.

"We need to take Starfire to the healers! Raven, find--"

"I can't separate my spirit from my body in this realm, nor can Beast Boy fly higher than the buildings. There is an invisible barrier." Raven demonstrated by incredibly throwing a stick higher than the fifteen story building. It hit the barrier, fizzled, then vaporized into pink smoke.

"Creepy." Beast Boy shivered, "Whose idea was it to come in here?"

"Titans! Let's move!" Robin said, hoisting Starfire over his shoulder as they walked down the street. They tried to talk to people at several stores to ask directions, but they all had large X marks across their faces and could give no real information. They chatted about the weather and several spoke only one line, getting them all very frustrated. After a long walk, they found a lush green park, where a white tent was located with a long line to it.

"We have to give our blood." A pink skinned man with turquoise hair was saying to another person, "My mom says that if we don't, the vampires will start actually killing people!"

"That's just media hype!" A girl with black hair and purple highlights said, "If I didn't get an extra bonus from the OZ cooperation, I wouldn't even bother. Give me three seconds with those vampires and we wouldn't have a problem anymore."

"What I don't get is why the manga characters don't have to do this." A see-through girl with brown hair said, "They have more blood than I do."

"Stop whining, Talia. We all know you're a ghost." Said the girl with black hair. Robin moved past them with Starfire on his back, but no one complained as he entered the tent. Three people with identical purple hair in identical haircuts and robes were sending a very blue male on his way out the back door.

"What do you want?" The purple haired female in robes asked crossly, "I've been doing this all night. I don't want to mess with people from the show right now."

"Our friend was hurt. They said you could heal her." Robin said, laying the dazed Starfire on the table. The girl looked at her, then called over to her associate who had his eyes closed.

"Rezo, heal this girl, will you?" She turned to the people waiting in line, "NEXT!"

The one who was addressed as Rezo came to Starfire, held his hand over her and then left. Starfire sat up.

"What has happened?" She asked, looking around. Robin looked at her as though he was ready to hug her, but didn't know why.

"You were hit with a Shadow Game." Raven said, "Now we need to find her and get out of here."

"Yeah, this place is too crazy even for me!" Beast Boy agreed as they left the tent. He noticed something on the lake side. There was a person dancing around with a figure of water. Someone that he thought he recognized. "There she is!"

"Chuuu, Chuuu, Chuuu, Chuuu," The girl was singing as the Titans ran up to her, feeling relief.

"We're so glad to see you!" Cyborg said. When the girl didn't pay any attention to them, Beast Boy tried. Then Robin. Finally, she turned to them.

"Where did that Gandalf go?" She demanded. "Chi owes me a CD! Although, I am making money hand over fist from those Hobbits. And then that whole incident with the stealing my manga!"

"What?" Starfire asked, "Friend, what is wrong?"

"The whole world is wrong! How could anything be right?" She fell to her knees and made a show of crying, although it was obvious she wasn't.

"Uhh…" Robin said, "Maybe this isn't her?"

"Just what I'd expect from you, my rival!" They all turned when they heard a voice. A young man with yellow hair stepped out from behind a tree and flicked his lighter on.

"Is that so, Pyro? Well take--THIS!" The whole lake suddenly engulfed them and sent them flying to the other side of the park.

"Why would she do this to her friends?" Starfire asked, nearly to tears again.

"Maybe it wasn't her." Raven said, standing up. Suddenly Raven found herself at the mercy of a woman with long blue hair that shone purple and silver in the sunlight.

"Oh, so beautiful! You'd be perfect! Come this way!" The woman pulled Raven off to a place where she had a paint set and canvas. "Here! Wear this!"

Raven looked at the elegant blue dress with gold trimming that the woman was holding. "No."

"No?" The woman seemed awestruck. "No one has ever said no to me before! Do you know who I am? Everyone, even the high Lady Anya wishes for me, Layne, to paint their portrait! Only the most admired people of beauty get an offer to paint for them!"

"I'm busy right now." Raven said, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"That means you want me in the picture too, right?" Beast Boy asked, but Robin remembered why they were here and noticed that this person did not have a large X marking her face.

"Where can we find her?" He asked, interrupting Layne, who was stuttering a response to Beast Boy about why he wouldn't work and that he reminded her of her boyfriend, except he was blue and had a tail.

"I don't know. Anyone who knows where she is, is chasing her down. Hey, if I knew, I'd be petitioning for my fanfic to get written." She said, turning back to her work. Just as they were about to leave, they heard her voice again. "You might try to find Magneto-sama in the Bishonen Mansion."

"Where's that?" Robin asked, whipping around, but she was no longer there. There was no trace that she had ever been there at all. They all spent a second trying to figure out where she went. Behind them there was a noise and they turned to see two freakish individuals, with large boulders tied around their waists, hopping down the street and shouting "Hup! Hup!"

"I'm getting freaked out again." Beast Boy stated. Everyone silently agreed as they set off again. Exiting the woods that surrounded the park, they found themselves on what looked like a college campus.

"Stunt Double #345, GO!" A harsh looking teacher with a megaphone was shouting. They watched as a giant human sized doll ran down the side of a cliff and pushed a guy with dark green hair over the cliff, then dived over himself. Before anyone thought, Raven had rescued both of them and placed them on the cliff.

"Are you all right?" Starfire asked, rushing over to the two. They both looked up at her in shock. They seemed to be too surprised to speak.

"What happened here?!" The teacher demanded, stalking to where they were. He was followed by a girl with short golden hair and cat ears. The cat girl scolded the green haired guy, who started crying instantly as the human weight doll tried to explain that it wasn't their fault. As soon as the teacher noticed, he looked over at the Titans. "Who are you? If you're going to be here, you need to register for classes."

"They're manga characters?" Green hair stopped crying to ask, staring at them.

"They're awfully well drawn for that." Cat girl shook her head, "They all are. That means she hasn't actually drawn them yet, that's all."

"Rach, can we go get some ice cream?" Green hair asked, changing the subject.

"Sure, Mike. We could use a break. Let's take these guys to register on the way." Cat girl said, suddenly smiling at them.

"Okays!" Green hair said, "Let's go, guys!"
