" Friend! "
" Nina? "
She opened her eyes to find Starfire and Raven hoovering over her.
" What happened? " Nina questioned.
" You fainted because of the pain in your back. " replied Raven.
" Oh - " she stopped, realizing that the pain wasn't there anymore, " It doesn't hurt anymore! "
" Raven has healed you! " beamed the Tamaran.
" Thanks Raven. "
" No problem, just be more careful next time. " she advised.
She decided not to tell Raven and Starfire about the '' memory '', not til later atleast. Since Raven was the only one who actually understood how it worked, she sent them all home. All except Nina, who went along with Raven and Star to Titans Tower, Gotham City.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" This place is so, so, " Nina was at a loss of words when she saw the tower.
" It is wonderful yes? "
" Just wonderful. " Raven rolled her eyes.
Nina laughed. ' I'm glad I decided to visit, and luckily, home isn't too far away either! ' Nina thought.
" Let us enter and join our friends! " suggested Starfire who tugged on her arm. But to Nina, it felt more like a clamp on her arm.
" Okay, but Star, can you let go? " Starfire blushed and obliged.
At the door, Raven punched in some sort of code. ' How will Robin react to this, surprise...' wondered Raven. The three girls entered the fortress of the Titans. The first room was just like a hallway with a row of chairs on the right and left walls. Nina gaped at the luxury of their home.
" Friends! We are home! " yelled Starfire.
There was another yell in response and a hurry of footsteps. Three guys entered the semi-room. Nina recognized each of them according to Starfire's descriptions.
" Yo, where have ya'll been? " asked Cyborg.
" The Master of the Games had - " but Beast Boy interrupted her.
" Him again?! "
" Yeah, big deal. I'm gunna go take a shower. " Raven left but Starfire reminded her about something.
" Raven, remember Nina? "
" Oh. "
Nina stepped out of the shadows and presented herself with a smile.
" Meet our new friend, NINA! " introduced Starfire.
Simultaneously, the three mouths dropped. ' That's the exact same reaction as Star and Raven ' Nina thought.
" Hi... " Nina sounded unsecure and unsure.
" Hi... " replied Cyborg and Beast Boy.
Starfire told the story of how it all happened, and how they were rescued, during the whole time, Robin was silent. In his mind, he doing a comparison. ' Nina...She looks exactly like Faith. ' There was a stab of pain in his heart at the thought of that name. ' Who is she?' He looked her up and down and began to compare. ' If that's her battle outfit, it's completely different from Faith's. Faith's was an off the shoulder dress, and she wore stilettos. Nina, on the other hand, is wearing a halter dress, with flames, with a slit up her left leg, and she's wearing boots. Another thing, Faith had a snowflake on her forehead, and Nina has a flame on her left shoulder. Plus, Nina has shorter hair and a red strands of hair to the right. Faith had long, long hair, and it was all natural colored. Nina has brownish red eyes, Faith had blue eyes. '
" Who are you? " Robin eyed her suspiciously.
" I'm Nina, from High City... "
Robin left the room with a darkened face. ' I was right! Robin is angered! ' Starfire panicked.
" Come, we shall show you our home! " Star dragged Nina further in. " This is the main room, we watch the television, eat our food, and hang the out here! "
" This place is bigger than I thought... " Nina looked around the huge room.
" Yes, I must show you my room! Oh, and the glorg is in the box of ice! " ' I think she means refrigerator ' thought Nina.
Starfire rushed to the fridge and pulled out a dish with purple and green jello-ish stuff on it. She held it out proudly at Nina.
" Uh Star, she may not be hungry right now. " Beast Boy cut in, saving Nina from whatever the stuff was.
" Yeah, not hungry yet. What's wrong with Robin? He didn't seem to happy to see me... " Nina confessed.
" Dude, don't sweat it! He'll get over it. " Beast Boy assured.
" Yeah, what B said. You know how to play Race Course Champion '03 on the GameStation? " Cyborg looked at her eagerly.
Nina smiled. " Sure do, just watch me kick your can. " she picked up a controller.
" Oh, you did not just say that! "
" I did. "
" It's ON! "
Starfire and Beast Boy watched the other two go at it. ' It is as if she is home...like this is where she belongs... ' thought Starfire. Cyborg had chosen a Red Ferrari and Nina a Silver Lambraghini. The two '' pros '' sat at the edge of their seats on the sofa, each looking like happy children on Christmas morning. ' She's a lot like Faith, personality wise, so far. ' Beast Boy concluded, ' Seems cool to me. Wonder what powers she has... ' Starfire took a seat next to Nina, and watched them play. On screen, Cyborg had just rammed Nina's Ferrari into the gate on the right.
" I'll get you for that! "
" Only if ya'll can catch me! "
Minutes later, her car was opposite of his.
" No way did you just catch up to me!!! " his mouth dropped once again.
She bumped his car aside, and passed him.
" OH NO YOU DIDN'T! " he stood up suddenly, dropping his controller.
" Revenge is sweet ain't it? " Nina beamed.
Cyborg looked at her, and it reminded him so much of Faith. ' Man, she's just like Faith. Exactly like her, except a bit more serious. ' He thought back to the first match between Faith and him. Of course, Faith had won, and did a victory dance.
" Rematch! " he demanded.
" If you're - "
DOOT DOOT DOO DOO DOO DOOT DOOT DOO DOOT!
" Titans, trouble! " Robin voice boomed from Beast Boy's communicator.
" Come on ya'll, let's go! "
" Uh, what about me? " Nina asked sheepishly.
" Come along with us! " Beast Boy replied.
" 'Kay "
She followed them out of the Tower and into the depths of Gotham City. Turns out it was Plasmus wrecking the South Gotham Science Research Center. Nina stared at the horrific creature, and it stared at her too. It seemed to recognized her because within a split second, it shot muck at her. She flew out of dangers way.
" Ew! That's just nasty! "
" Just wait til he spews acid. " Cyborg infromed.
" I didn't need to - "
" Titans, GO! " Robin said the standard battle cry.
Beast Boy morphed into a giant ryno and charged headfirst at the gelatin blob. Sadly, and painfully, he was sent flying back into a light post. Starfire literally threw Robin at Plasmus and he thrust a handful of energy disks at his face. It didn't affect the blob much, he just shook his head and began to spit again.
This is nasty, worst than what I have to deal with at home...Nina faced distorted as she watched the Titans battle it out. She was like a stick in mud, stood there and watched. Cyborg shot his cannon that went straight through the villian. Gross, and yet, funny! Nina flew up, hoping to help but then, another memory stopped her in midair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Dudes, how are we gunna stop him? " Beast Boy grabbed his hair and pulled.
" Calm down B, we'll bring him down, we always do. " assured Cyborg.
In the background, Plasmus was wrecking the city.
" The only way to stop him is to get him to sleep. " Raven said bluntly.
" Raven's right, we need to get him alseep. " Robin agreed.
" How? " asked Faith.
" I shall sing him the Tamaranian song of Slumber! " Starfire volunteered.
" Um, Star, he doesn't understand Tamaranian songs... " BB pointed out.
" Then what shall we do friend? "
" Raven, you sing. " everyone looked at Raven
" I don't sing. " she said darkly and gave Cyborg an even darker look.
" Okay, then, " everyone turned to Faith.
" What?!? "
" Faith, you gotta sing! " BB applauded.
" What?!? "
" Just sing some lullaby or something! " Robin suggested.
" What?!? "
Starfire picked up the girl and brought her up to Plasmus. He stared at the two girls, wondering what was going on.
" Sing friend! "
" Uh, okay...um.., " Faith took in a deep breath, and what came out next was the most beautiful thing Nina had ever heard.
" Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born. "
Plamus swayed back and forth, his eyelids dropping.
" Peace, joy, and love
Was sent to all of us from Heaven up above
To every man, woman, boy, and girl
To all God's children, all of our world
It's our hope that your dreams may come true
Like ours have
Thanks to all of you
Now we just have one more wish
That you all remember this
The true meaning of Christmas "
The creature fell to the ground, resuming human form.
