She was warm. That was the pervading thought in her mind. She was comfortable in that "I had a good night's rest and now I'm safe and warm under my covers, but I don't want to get up because the rest of the house is going to be cold", sense of the word. But something had disturbed her sleep. Something in the middle of the night had trailed ice up her side. Or that's what it felt like anyway. Like someone dipped their finger in a bucket of ice and traced that finger for a couple inches up my side. She sat up and immediately felt the colder morning air freeze her back.

"Oooh, that's cold." She couldn't help shivering as she jumped out of bed and hurriedly pulled the curtains shut so that she could get dressed.

The other Titans were already downstairs, enduring Beast Boy and Cy's usual argument about what to have for breakfast. It was an inevitable part of their day that could not be lived without, no matter how annoying it was. Raven was at the counter, sipping a steaming hot cup of tea and swearing darkly under her breath as the argument escalated to new records as far as volume was concerned. Starfire had plopped a cup of coffee down in front of Robin, and was drinking a glass of milk.

"Perhaps I should go see if our new friend has awakened herself yet?" Starfire looked pleadingly at Robin, pretty sure what his answer would be, but hoping she was wrong. Robin opened his mouth to answer, when suddenly the red haired alien let out a shriek and dove under the table, yanking him down after her. BB and Cy had begun wrestling around the room and the result was that the platters of scrambled eggs (both real and synthesized) went flying through the air towards the doorway, and.....................SETSUNA!! She stood in the doorway, eyes wide in shock as the blobs of yellow rocketed towards her. Raven's mouth hung open, amazed at the stupidity of the two dueling breakfast maniacs. Were they going to offend someone with their crudeness on their first day??? Just as the eggs were about to reach her however, they disappeared for a split second, reappearing to splat both Cyborg and Beast Boy in the back of the head. They keeled over as though they had both been hit with a boulder and lay on the floor, eyes goggling at the newcomer.

Setsuna stood in the doorway, still surprised at the events of her entry.

"Is that the way you usually eat breakfast?" Her voice had a slightly panicked sound to it. She definitely hadn't been expecting to be attacked by breakfast food so soon after she had woken up.''

"No. That's just Beast Boy and Cyborg's way of letting you know how they handle mealtime in the morning." Robin moved out from under the table and dusted himself off as he stood up. There was egg splattered all over the kitchen, though Cyborg and BB were the only ones who had any on them. "So, did you sleep well?" Setsuna shook her head in amazement in reflection of what already appeared to be a chaotic lifestyle. How ironic.

"Yes, I slept wonderfully. And I have to thank you. I haven't been able to sleep at that hotel. I'm glad I found a place to stay and all, but it's hard to sleep when the people in the next room over are up all night yelling in that squeaky............" suddenly she faltered. Everyone was staring at her with dumbfounded expressions on their faces, and when she realized what she had been about to say, her eyes became as large as saucers. Heh. That's cute. Robin chuckled as Setsuna's cheeks suddenly bloomed a rosy red.

"Uhmm. Never mind." She mumbled. She was biting her lip, and she reached out to pick a mug up off the counter, staring hard at it to try and cover her confusion.

"Well...," Robin cleared his throat and glanced sternly at BB, who was snickering into his hand. He waited to get Setsuna's attention before continuing. "I talked to the others last night. We all agree that you should stay with us." Setsuna's face shot straight up to stare at him in shock. "We'll still want to see what you can do, other than deflecting food missiles." He paused as she turned to smile at the two goofballs who were still lying on the floor, wiping the eggs from their heads. "The last decision is yours, of course, but if you don't object then Cy can take you to get your things from your hotel room." He inclined his head towards the stunned girl. It seemed that everyone (with the exception of Raven) was holding their breath waiting for her answer.

"I—I don't know how I can possibly thank you." The room erupted in an explosion of hurrahs. Setsuna once again found herself buried in one of Star's bone-crunching hugs. BB had turned into a puppy and was running around the girls legs, yipping excitedly.

"BOOYAH!!!! Alright, let's get a move on!" And before the girl could depressurize her crushed lungs, he had grabbed her shoulders, spun her right around, and was heading her for the stairs that would take them to the T-Car.

Setsuna's head was spinning so fast that she couldn't think of where to put her next foot down, much less which words should come pouring out of her mouth. She managed to pull her befuddled thoughts together when she saw the T-Car. Eyes bright and sparkling, she approached the beauty with arms outstretched.

"She's gorgeous!!!" Her delight was evident in the way she ran her hands lovingly over the frame. Cyborg beamed in fatherly pride. He couldn't ask for a better reaction.

Once they had returned from gathering her things and moving them to her room, everyone retired to the training room.

"I guess it's time to see what you're made of, huh?" Robin was the first to approach the girl, while Raven set up the obstacle course. "Nervous at all?" The girl nodded, standing like an errant child with her hands clasped behind her back. But she didn't look down, and there was no fear in her eyes. "I guessed you might be. But don't worry. Just give it all you've got. Raven will be looking into your mind every once in a while to make sure nothing is going wrong. Is that Alright?" The girl smiled her confidence and nodded.

"Dude, do you even know what your power is?" BB had snuck up on them as a mouse. They didn't expect the reaction they got. Setsuna's eyes glazed over as her power began to unleash the bonds she kept on it. Something spiraled through her mind in a never ending chorus of a thousand voices that repeated one word in a million different times and ways.

"Chaos."

Got any opinions? Think it sucks? Think it could be better. Go ahead and say so. Review, please!!!!
