Chapter 1 - Sweet Surrender
The Titans were all casually sat around, in their head quarters. Cyborg was sat in front of the television set, playing a video game. Starfire was cooking something for her friends. Raven was trying to meditate and control her emotions in the corner of the room. And their leader, Robin, the Boy Wonder, was sat casually reading a magazine, leaning on his elbow, his legs out stretched out on the sofa, relaxing. Every now and then he'd glance over the top of his magazine and look at Starfire. She bobbed and danced enthusiastically around the kitchen. This made him smile. The only member who was missing from their team, was the Green One, Beast Boy.
"Hey. Where is Beast Boy you guys?" Cyborg questioned, pausing his computer game and turning around to talk to everyone. Starfire stopped cooking and turned to Cyborg. Robin looked up from his magazine too. Raven opened one eye and then carelessly closed it again.
"I do not know Cyborg," Starfire said, her eyes wide with anxiety and wonder.
"He went out an hour ago," Raven said, not opening her eyes or stirring her movement. Everyone nodded and returned to their amusements. Time soon passed and it became late the three of the four Teen Titans soon became tired, with Raven discarding herself first and retiring to bed. Then Starfire placed her cooked biscuits (covered in mustard) in the cupboard and followed her friend. Robin was still reading and Cyborg was saving his progress on his video game. He yawned;
"YAWWWWW! Gee I'm gonna hit the sack Rob, see you in the morning." He stretched his arms and walked out of the room.
"Kay, night Cy," Robin was left reading. He wasn't sure how long he'd been reading for, but he soon became tired of his magazine and switched his reading material to a random book that was on the table in front of him. He wasn't quite sure who's book it was; maybe it was Raven's, he didn't care, he didn't feel like sleeping yet. He flicked and scanned the pages reading odd paragraphs to pass time. As he did so, something, maybe instinct, made him turn around toward the door. Silence. Then the door handle turned. Beast Boy walked in. Robin kept silent and watched curiously.
"Dude, I think everyones' gone to bed Imm'," He obviously hadn't noticed Robin looking at him. "Ok, come in,"
Robin returned to his reading material, trying to disguise his curiosity and cooly said "Brought another friend over Beast Boy?" He turned once more to his friend when he heard the door click, locking. There he saw Beast Boy and another ... a girl. Robin slightly opened his mouth and stared, dumb stuck at Beast Boy's new companion. Robin's mouth went dry and his chest went tight. There, stood a pretty, no beautiful, slim girl with long flowing golden locks of hair that flowed down to her shaped hips. She had long black lashes, pink lush lips and dark green eyes. Though they were green, they had no resemblance to Starfire's. Starfire's eyes were bright, emerald coloured and showed innocence. This girl's eyes were pine coloured and showed expression and intellect. They showed intelligence, kindness and spirit. Robin, loved these eyes instantly and just stared at them without thinking how odd he must have looked to the stranger. They consumed him.
"Oh, Robin ... I err didn't know you were up dude. Are the other's awake?" He waited for a reply. "Robin?"
"Err, sorry," He a justed his posture and stood up. The girl scanned his body, all over. She saw an attractive young man with dark spikey hair, pale, smooth skin and an athletic build. He was cute, she thought. "Yeah, they went about an hour ago. Who's your friend?" Robin inquired, slightly raising his arm toward her. She smiled, showing white teeth and tilted her head to the right.
"Oh yeah, this is Immojen. Immojen, this is Robin our leader!" Beast Boy smiled widely.
Immojen raised her hand "Hey," Her voice was feminine, but bold and strong.
"Hi," Robin said, trying his best to be himself. He placed his hands on his back and looked to the floor and then back to Immojen. She kept her eyes on him, looking inquisitively.
"Ok ... I guess you wanna know why I brought her back with me huh Rob?"
"That'd be good but can't she speak for herself?"
"She can, but Beast Boy might as well tell you. I don't want to seem rude,"
"No, sorry ... err go on then Beast Boy," Robin said slightly blushing.
"Ok, well, Immojen is sort of like us Rob ... she's got powers and she needs our help. She found me when I was out and with me being green and all, she figured she'd found one of us. I didn't know what to do so I brought her here,"
"Why do you need our help?" Robin said raising an eyebrow.
"Err, well ... I can't control them. The powers that is. I thought maybe I could find help here, with you guys, if that's alright with you Robin.
"Sure. What powers do you have Immojen?"
"Watch," She presented a silver lighter out of her pocket and sparked it. Robin's eyes squinted with anticipation. Immojen suddenly squinted her eyes too, but with concentration and placed a small pink tongue on her top lip. She started twirling her finger in a circular motion and directing it toward the orange flame. Suddenly, the flame moved, almost by itself to the right and formed a circular, fire hoop. Beast Boy looked at Robin with his face full of pride as if he'd performed the trick himself. Robin breathed a small laugh and looked to the floor impressed, hands on hips.
"That's some stunt Immojen. You seem pretty in control of it to me,"
She flicked down the lighter's top and the flame disappeared. "I can only manipulate the fire, shape it to my will. I can't actually make fire out of thin air, and that's about as far as I go with 'stunts'. And believe me I burnt a few things in the processes of mastering it!"
Robin chuckled and smiled "Ok, she can stay. Err, where is she gonna sleep?"
"I said I'd give her my room Robin," Beast Boy offered. "I'm gonna sleep on the sofa for the meantime,"
Robin nodded. He stared at Immojen, and what she was wearing. She wore a woolen black polo neck sweater and black leather pants. She had a thick black belt on too, that only the bottom part was visible to Robin. She looked good with the black against her blonde hair, it suited her. "Err, she got any night wear with her?" Beast Boy looked at her and she shook her head. "Figured not. Wait here," Robin walked to the door and disappeared from sight. It wasn't long before he returned with a neatly folded set of clothing. He passed it to Immojen who took it gently. Her nails were painted deep red and were perfectly manicured and long. "They're Starfire's. She wouldn't mind you borrowing them," Immojen inspected the pyjamas. There was a pink strapped top with matching trousers bottoms.
"Thank you Robin," She smiled. God that smile, thought Robin. It was even more beautiful close up. Her skin was slightly tanned and smooth. She had a few brown freckles just above her cheek bones and a few on her nose.
"Ok," Beast Boy yawned "I better make my way to bed ... or should I say sofa," He walked to the red coloured seat and patted it "You better be as comfy as my bed you ... err ... red sofa ... thing,"
Robin shook his head and walked Immojen to Beast Boys room. He couldn't help notice her perky little bottom in those leather pants as she walked. He tilted his head to get a better angle of it. They came to Beast Boys room and Robin opened the door for her. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask anyone. My room is on the top floor up those stairs," He pointed to the stairs he was talking about and then back at her. She smiled once more. Robin's mouth went dry and he gulped the little saliva he had left.
"Ok Robin. Thank you,"
"No problem Immojen. Night," He left her as she walked into her temporary room. She hesitated and called to Robin; "Night Robin," He starred at her and smiled. Then he disappeared once more and she closed her door. She inspected the room and rolled her eyes. She stormed up to the bed, slammed herself down on it and chucked the pyjamas on the floor. She then reached to her belt and removed a small two toned, palm sized gadget and pressed the silver button on it. She then pressed it to her lips and spoke.
"I'm in,"
She was replied with a velvet sounding voice. "Good girl. Have they suspected anything?"
"No. For supposed super-heros, they're pretty thick. They didn't even search me,"
"Perfect. And of Robin? How was his reaction to you?"
Immojen flicked out her lighter and clicked her finger and thumb together. Instantly the fire obeyed and morphed itself into a small fire ball. She twisted and turned her index finger around and the fire ball copied her movement with utmost accuracy, flying around the room, leaving a small trail of smoke behind it. "Pathetic," She uttered watching the fire "Typical guy, he sees a blonde in tight leather pants and he's practically drooling at my feet,"
"Excellent. Good my Immojen, remember, I want you to focus on Robin and Robin only. Forget about the rest of the Titans, they are of no interest to me. I want Robin."
With this last word Immojen, clicked off the lighter. The flame disappeared and she spoke into the gadget once more; "Yes Master. Robin will be yours sooner than I thought. Hell, this'll be easy. He will be your apprentice once more Slade."
