Chapter 7: Relative Normality

Starfire- "Oooo! I just love the mall of shopping!" (giggles)

Cyborg- "Look at all the ladies! Booyah!"

Me- "okay! Where to go first?"

Robin- "Here. (he hands me a black plastic card with a yellow "T" on the front) Just show them the Titan Card when you want to buy something."

Me- "Thanks." (blushes)

I headed towards Old Navy. The people inside all stared at me as I picked out some thick blue jeans, a few blue hoodies, and a couple of random tee-shirts. I showed the cashier the card, and she waved me through. I headed to a Bed Bath and Beyond. I bought a down comforter and a white fur rug.

Later, I found the titans at the food court at a booth in the wall, eating some pizza. Starfire had oviously found a store that sold hair stuff; she had a LOT of bobby pins in her hair.

Robin scooted over to give me room to sit down. Apparently, the titans were arguing over whether or not pizza places should be allowed to put pepperoni and sausage on the pizzas they sell. Beast Boy had named the late pig that the sausage was mad from 'Oinky'. I tried to sit down, but my wings kepton getting in the way, so I grabbed a chair from another table and sat down.

"Friend, how did you come here?" Starfire said with a grin. All I could do was shake my head and say, "I'm not sure." I looked up to see Beast Boy scoot an inch closer to Raven. Raven glared at him and he fell off the bench. Cyborg, Robin, Starfire and me all laughed at the pair.

After an hour or so at the mall, we headed back to the tower. We all went to the main room. I sat next to Cyborg and Beast Boy to watch them play a new video game they had newly bought at the mall. Now that I had been confined for a few days, the tower was very familiar. Of course, since my wing was still in a splint, I couldn't leave the tower, but I learned much about my new roomies. Starfire seemed to like Robin, and vise versa. There was also a slight hint that (maybe?) Raven liked Beast Boy. She covered it up very well, if she did. But I'm pretty sure Beast Boy liked Raven. I wasn't really attracted to any of the titans. It seemed that if I was, I would be intruding. I felt so out-of-place among these..... super heroes. I was a freak among celebrities. I didn't belong....

I decided that the night after my wing healed, I'd leave. I never realised how fragile my wings were and how long it took for them to heal!

I yawned. Probably should hit the hay. I stood and anounced, "I'm really tired.... I'm gonna go to bed. Good night!"

I left for my room, and the sheets were calling my name.
