Disclaimer: I do not own anyone but Shadow. If I owned the Teen Titans, would I be here writing stories? NO! I would be besides a large pool on my own private island! (Well, okay, maybe not on a private island, but YOU GET THE POINT! And if you don't you're stupid!)

Chapter Six: Cyborg's Test:
Shadow landed in front of the hotel. Wow, she thought. For being so cheap, this place doesn't look half bad! It was a fairly tall building. Not too tall, not to short. It was painted white for that full, clean look. Shadow looked around at the front lawn. It was nice. The grass was a nice green, and there were benches and small makeshift fountains here and there. It wasn't fancy, but that was the way Shadow liked things. Simple.
Once she got up to her room and unpacked her stuff, she threw herself down on her new bed. It was then that she realized what she had just done. She had defied her father's wishes and walked out on him! You go girl! She thought to herself. Now all she had to do was rest up for her next test. She rolled over on her bed and fell asleep.
~At Titans Tower~
"Boo-yah!" Cyborg yelled. "My masterpiece is COMPLETE! Little Miss Shadow won't be able to get away from my mighty robots of doom, even if she can walk through walls!" He was eager to be the one to fail Shadow. He felt as if the team didn't need anyone else. He was happy with the way things were.
Raven came into the room looking angry. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" She snapped at him. "Some people are trying to sleep!"
Robin came in after her. "Yah Cyborg, you woke the entire tower up! You don't want everyone to be tired for Shadow's test do you?"
Starfire came out with her hair all tangled everywhere. "What is with all the noise of waking-upness?" She asked. "I am very tired!"
"Sorry guys," said Cyborg sheepishly. "I'm just being a little competitive that's all."
Beastboy came out. He was wearing rocket ship PJ's and was holding a little green teddy-bear. "Whazoinonuys?" he slurred with sleepiness. Raven telepathically took a glass of water from the kitchen and dumped it on Beastboys head. "WHAZZAT?" he was awake now. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing." Robin said. "Just go back to bed." He looked at Cyborg. "That means you too."
"Fine!" said Cyborg, raising his hands in defeat. "I'll go to bed." And without another word, all the Titans went to their rooms and fell asleep.
Test field #3
Cyborg was pumped and ready to 'fail' Shadow so she could go away forever. He kept jabbering about how all his computer junk would stump her completely. He was bragging so much, he was starting to sound like Beastboy! "My turbo hard drive quadruple engine droneting jobbit will (blah blah blah blah blah)" He just kept going on, and on, and on, and on!
"And I thought Beastboy had a big ego." Commented Shadow.
About half and hour later (Cyborg had absolutely refused to stop bragging) Shadow was at the starting line for the next test. 5-4-3-2-1-START.
Four huge robots came out of the ground, gathering around her. They all advanced at high speed. Shadow flew into the air and landed one of the robots backs. The Teen Titans strained to see her, but they couldn't.
"Where is she?!?" Yelled Cyborg.
"She's inside the robot." Raven said. And she was right. Inside, Shadow was tinkering with the main computer of the robot.
"Come on!" Cried Shadow in frustration. She couldn't crack the password on the main hard drive. Wait! I think I have it! She thought happily. She typed in 'Cyborg Rocks!' In the password area, and . . . .
"I'm in!" She cried aloud. She reprogrammed the robot to attack to other three and got out of there as fast as she could. The Robot she had reprogrammed beat up to other three, and they all blew up at the same time. "Yes!"
She flew back to where the Titans where standing. Everyone but Cyborg and Raven was cheering her on.
"Dude!" cried Beastboy, "You nailed that test!"
"NO FAIR!" Cyborg cried. "NO-" Raven telepathically closed Cyborg's mouth.
"Please," She said, "The last thing we need is another Beastboy."
"Do you wish to stay for lunch?" asked Starfire "We would love it if you would!"
A small look of surprise sparked in Shadows eyes. It went away quickly though. Not quickly enough for Cyborg not to notice though. He didn't say anything though.
"I'll stay for lunch if you want-" she began, but Starfire cut her off.
"Of course we want!" cried Starfire. She flew over to Shadow, took her by the hand, and led her to the tower at top speed.
"Um," said Beastboy awkwardly, "Who's making lunch today?"
"I think its Starfire's turn today . . ." Robin trailed off. All the Teen Titans looked at each other, mild fear written upon their faces.
"STARFIRE! NO!!!!!" Everyone but Raven shouted. Raven rolled her eyes as they all ran after Starfire and Shadow.
"I'm surrounded by lunatics!" She said, annoyed by the boys' immaturity.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Sorry I left you with a cliffy last time guys. I ran out of ideas for that chapter, and that seemed like a good place to stop. (Coincidence on where, NO I THINK NOT!)
I'm thinking of giving the story a new and better title. Here are your choices.
1) Coming out of the Shadows
2) No more hiding in the Shadows
3) Shadows aren't all Darkness
4) Shadows
