IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!Sorry, guys! I had a major case of the following: a) computer problems b) writer's block c) grounding d) writer's block e) selling house f) more grounding. But, I'm finally here to write more!!! I'm so glad that you liked the last chapter! All the reviews I got were excellent. There sure are a lot of teen titan stories... I hope you get a chance to read this one!

Sunlight streamed through the two solitary windows by the top of the room, the shafts of sunlight intertwining and creating a spotlight on the floor. The walls were unadorned brick, and the floor was cement. Near the center of the room, next to the spotlight of sun, there was a power generator bolted to the floor. It hummed gently as it supplied the building with power until a gloved hand switched a small knob off... then all was silent.

Alex stood in front of the generator, her hair tucked behind her ears. Behind her stood Jinx and Slade.

"Wait 'til you see what she can do." Jinx aid happily to Slade, "She's excellent."

"We'll see, Jinx, we'll see." He replied coldly, refusing to show his hopes for the young fighter.

Alex placed her hands at her side, palms up. She focused on the generator, her eyes glowing silver. She slowly raised her hands and the air around the generator began to shimmer, as if it were in a heat wave. As her hands rised, so did the generator, bolts popping, metal sparking. It rised with ease, as it were a feather on the breeze. Suddenly Alex stopped, and clapped her hands above her head, and the generator fell, metal flying everywhere.

Jinx clapped happily, smiling, Slade was sure to be pleased.

Alex turned around, flicking a stray piece of hair off her face. "How'd I do?" she asked, directing her question to Slade.

"PERFECT!" Jinx squealed, then clapped a pale hand over her mouth.

"Good... but there is much room for improvement. We can not accept such a measly power, our opponents are much stronger." Slade said, trying hard not to show that he was pleased.

"Yea, I know they're stronger, Jinx filled me in 'bout the Titans." Alex said, jabbing her thumb over her shoulder at Jinx, "But that's not all I can do."

Slade raised an eyebrow.

Alex smiled, knowing that Slade wasn't expecting much from her. She put her hand in front of her, smiled her smirking smile, then focused. Her eyes once again glowed silver, but this time her hands did as well. Black bolts of lightning shot from her palms. Slade ducked quickly, as the lightning blasted into the wall behind where he had stood only seconds before. Alex then smiled, bowing.

"Intriguing." Slade said, standing up, "You have strong powers, but I am still not convinced."

"I know," Alex groaned, "Raven can move things, and Starfire can shoot starbolts. None of this will help me, Jinx told me... But I doubt any of the Titans can do this." She smiled and stepped backwards until she was standing in the spotlight of sun. Slowly, to the amazement of both Slade and Jinx, her body began to evanesce, (Amy's Input: Evanesce means to fad slowly into a vapor... not the band, which is Evanescence, although the band is coolio.) until all that remained was a small purple-black whispy orb where her heart had once been. The orb began to zoom around the room, flying to the ceiling, even going through the ceiling, and finally landing right in front of Slade and materialized back into Alex.

"Tada." Alex said, grinning, "Did I pass?" Slade looked at her, mouth agape. Finally, he shook his head, trying to snap out of it.

"Yes, you're in."

"BOOYA!" Alex shouted, grinning, "I'm in, I'm in, OH YEA!" She danced about happily.

Jinx smiled, "What did I tell you?" She asked, "She can do it all. She's perfect to defeat the Titans!"

"We'll have to see what she's really like with them... we'll have to test her." Slade said, looking at the young girl who was hopping about madly.

"Test?" Jinx shook her head, "what do you mean?"

"Not a 'test' really, you, Gizmo, Mammoth, and she can go and get me something... just a trinket that I really don't need to badly, but then you can fight the Titans, see how well she fights in real life situations. Sometimes powers aren't enough. You have to be a quick thinker, have fast reflexes... So we must see... but for now, she's one of us."

"Got it, boss." Jinx said, "I'm sure she's just what we need."

~*~*~

Alex smiled as she got ready for bed. She had had a long hard day of training and was extremely tired, but she knew for sure that she was in. She had Slade so convinced, that if she had refused, he would've begged. They really hadn't suspected a thing.

She sat in front of her computer, logging in. She smiled; Robin was online, time for major braggage.

Fighter_chick: hey, wuzz^?

nOt_A_sIdE_kIcK: not much, wut about u?

Fighter_chick: I'm totally in, they so fell for it.

nOt_A_sIdE_kIcK: Awesome, whut'd Slade say?

Fighter_chick: At first he was all "good, but not good enuf"

nOt_A_sIdE_kIcK: sounds familiar.

Fighter_chick: ya, but he sooooo wuz hiding it, I meen, u cud tell.

nOt_A_sIdE_kIcK: Hard to tell ne thin wit that mask.

Fighter_chick: It wuz in his voice.

Alex grinned, she was good at reading people, and it was obvious Robin was impressed. She wanted to brag more.

Fighter_chick: hey, can I tlk to bb?

nOt_A_sIdE_kIcK: sure, just a sec.

Alex leaned back in her chair, pulling at her dark-green PJ bottoms.

not_easy_bein_green: Hi, wutz wit the getting in?

Fighter_chick: I'm so in, they are impressed.

not_easy_bein_green: It's hard NOT to be impressed wit u, u r always doin stuf dat iz awsum.

Fighter_chick: ur so lazy.

Not_easy_bein_green: wut u mean?

Fighter_chick: -_-' ur spelling, dummy.

Not_easy_bein_green: w/e... hipocrit.

Fighter_chick: Hypocrite. Give me cy.

Not_easy_bein_green: bragger.

Fighter_chick: Shaddup.

Alex got up, and walked over by her closet and threw her sweaty garments in the hamper by the door. It wasn't like there weren't enough outfits, Jinx had supplied her with enough for a year.

I_am_human: hey, awesome about getting in.

Fighter_chick: Nice screen name, is it new?

I_am_human: ya. Ne way, congrads on da new position.

Fighter_chick: yea, it's coolio.

I_am_human: um... suuuuuuuuuuuuure, w/e. ne way, star iz breakin mi arm, so tlk to her.

Fighter_chick: kk.

Alex felt a bit sad. She wished that she was with the titans, they always hung out together. It really wasn't any fun being the spy. She never got to hang out... she had to chill with the villians.

"This sucks." She muttered, kicking the wall.

Koriand_r: HELLO FRIEND!

Fighter_chick: hey, star, im tired, gonna sleep. Tell everybdy I say hi and bi and I miss u, k?

Koriand_r: Ok, Bye friend.

Fighter_chick: bye.

Alex sighed as she logged off. Starfire had called her one of their friends... but she wasn't, not where it mattered. She was never with them, she never got to do anything fun.. she was just a tool to help them. She wasn't BEING used, but she WAS being used. She sighed again, flicking off the light and going beneath the covers. Perhaps one day she would have real friends... perhaps someday...
