Chapter 5: The Newest Member
The next morning, Demonfire strolled out of her room around ten, nice and refreshed after a night's sleep. Everyone else was the opposite.
"Good morning," she said to the Titans. Cyborg was making pancakes (and tofu pancakes) for breakfast, and everyone else was at the table with bags under their eyes. Robin's was the worst.
"What's wrong? Did you not sleep well?" she asked them.
"I have one question," Beast Boy said. "How can you listen to "Way Away" and still fall asleep?"
"I always listen to my Yellowcard CD when go to bed," Demonfire said with a shrug. She sat down next to Raven. (A/N: I actually have fallen asleep to that song!)
"I'm sure people in Russia heard your CD last night," Robin said. "I sure know I could hear it through the walls!"
"Well, at least it's not rap," Demonfire said, once again, with a shrug.
Cyborg passed around some pancakes. He wasn't tired since it just took him fifteen minutes to recharge at night.
"Do you have anything to drink?" Demonfire asked Cyborg while he was still standing.
"Yeah, we got milk, orange juice..." Cyborg pushed back some cartons in the fridge to see if there was anything else.
"Do you have ketchup?" she asked.
"Umm... yeah, we do. Here you go," Cyborg said, passing the ketchup to her.
"They must have weird customs in Japan," Beast Boy whispered to Raven. "But who heard of eating ketchup on pancakes?"
"Oh, I don't eat it on my pancakes, Beast Boy," Demonfire said. "I drink it." (A/N: I actually like to eat ketchup straight, yet I hate tomatoes...)
BB made a grossed-out face but continued to eat his pancakes.
"Well, Star likes to drink mustard. It must run in the-"Robin was cut off by the alarm.
"What's that?" Demonfire asked.
"It's alarm saying some "criminal activity" is going on," Robin explained.
Then he said the famous line: "Titans, go!
They ran out their front door, and Raven, Demonfire and Star flew, BB turned into a eagle, Cyborg was lifted up by some of Raven's black magic (I dunno what else to call it) and Robin was carried by Star.
"What's happening?" Cyborg asked.
"There's a robbery down at the bank," Robin said, very calm. "This should be a piece of cake."
But when they got there, it turned out Plasmus was the one robbing it.
"Or it could be a piece of sewage," Beast Boy suggested. He ran out of the way right when Plasmus through sludge at him.
"Titans, go!" Robin said, and they surrounded Plasmus, who was trying to walk down the street.
"Whoa." Raven said. The whole inside of the bank was covered with pink goo.
"Ahh!" Star screamed. She got her boot stuck in some of the goo.
"Don't worry, Star," Demonfire said. She used one of her flamebolts and neatly got her boot unstuck.
Meanwhile, it looked like the Titans were fighting a losing battle. Even when Cyborg used his boom cannon or Robin threw his electrified disk at him, he would absorb the blow. And the Titans were getting tired.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven said, lifting some nearby pipe. She twisted it to make very crude handcuffs, and slipped them on Plasmus.
Plasmus just ended up oozing out of them, and continued to fight.
Star threw several starbolts at it and used her laser vision, and it held Plasmus down for a few minutes.
"Well, it looks like we have him-"Cyborg was about to say. But then, Plasmus threw goo over him, Robin, Raven, and Beast Boy, so they were stuck to a wall.
"Sick! I know I'm going to smell bad for a week," Beast Boy said, struggling in the goo. But it was no use.
"Sister, I do not think we can win," Starfire said. She was extremely tired and had to rest.
"Don't worry, Star. I'll show this dude not to mess with the Teen Titans!" Demonfire said.
She flew in circles around Plasmus until he was dizzy, then she flew some flamebolts at him, and used her nifty laser vision (you gotta love the word nifty!)
Plasmus absorbed them like any other attack, but something happened. He suddenly burst on fire.
"Whoa! Did you see that?!?" Cyborg said. He freed his arm and used boom cannon, which freed him and the others from the wall.
They continued to fight him until he was completely covered by fire, and they had to stop. They also had to stop the fire.
Plasmus, not knowing what else to do, stop, dropped, and rolled. Since the fire was still not going out, they were about to look for a fire hose, but then the sprinklers came on.
There was lots of smoke, and when it cleared, they saw a weak man sleeping on the floor.
The police force arrived, and then thanked the Titans for saving the day. The Titans went home as Plasmus was dragged away to the jail.
"Who wants ice cream?" BB sang as they were back at the T Tower.
"I do," Demonfire said, and then flew over to the kitchen where BB was.
"Demonfire," Robin said, "We decided to have you on the team."
"Really?" she asked. The Titans replied by nodding back to her.
"You were awesome! Did you see how Plasmus burst on fire?" Cyborg asked.
"Thanks," Demonfire replied, smiling.
"But you need a nickname, because I gets tiresome to say "Demonfire" all the time," Beast Boy said.
"It does get me tongue-tied," Raven said, smiling a little.
"Maybe we should call her Dee Dee?" Starfire suggested. "That is what my mother called her when we were young."
"It fits," Robin said. "Hey---can I have ice cream, too?"
Beast Boy started scooping ice cream when he heard a knock at the door.
"Who could that be?" Rae asked. "No one ordered pizza, did they?"
The Titans all shook their heads.
"I'll get it," Dee Dee said. She flew from the kitchen to the front door and opened it.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Oh... Hi, Demonfire," Speedy said. "I was just dropping by. I heard there was a robbery a while ago."
"Hi... Speedy... umm, do you want to come in?" Demonfire asked, suddenly turning red.
"Sure," he said, he walked in and she closed the door behind him.
"Hey guys, Speedy's dropping by to say hi," Dee Dee said as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Speedy? Isn't he the one you have a crush-"
"Star, I dunno what you're talking about, but tell me later, okay?" Demonfire said, cupping her hand over Star's mouth.
Speedy just arched an eyebrow.
"Hehe, Star is so funny sometimes," Demonfire said, a sweat drop falling off her head.
"Hey Speedy, do you want some ice cream?" BB asked.
"Sure," he said. "Oh, yeah. What happened at the bank?"
"Plasmus was robbing it," Cyborg said. "And we couldn't hurt him. But then, Demonfire attacked him. It was incredible! She's our newest team member!"
"Cool," Speedy said, a look of interest on his face, which made Demonfire happy.
He stayed for a while, eating ice cream with the Titans.
"Well, I better go," he said. He got up. "Demonfire, can I see you for a minute?"
"Sure," she said, blushing once again. BB almost started chanting "Demonfire and Speedy, sitting in a tree" but Rae kicked him in the shin.
"I was wondering... if you wanted to go somewhere tomorrow night with me," Speedy said.
"Uh... umm, sure," Demonfire said, now a deep shade of scarlet.
"Ask if Robin and his girlfriend want to come," he added.
"Oh, they're not going out," she replied.
"They aren't? I thought they were," he said. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
He left, and Dee Dee closed the door.
She went back to the kitchen, but saw that the Titans were relaxing, and BB and Cy were playing video games, Star was cleaning up the bowls, and Rae was drinking some tea while watching the guys play.
"Hey Star, do you and Robin want to come with me and Speedy tomorrow night?" Demonfire asked.
"What will we be doing?" Star asked.
"Maybe a movie or something like that," Dee Dee replied. "Besides, maybe Robin likes you."
"Okay, sister," Star replied. "Oh, will you please help me with these bowls?"
"Sure," Dee Dee replied.
And soon, it was another ordinary afternoon in the T Tower.
