It's Saturday once again, so here's a new chapter. Thanks for the reviews!

Hekatie: Wow, you're taking risks to read my story? I'm honored! Yes, 3 of them are friends whom I have based the Elementals on, and therefore do not wish to embarrass them by doing dumb things with "their" characters. The other one is another close friend who doesn't always have access to a computer, so I show him thehand-writtenversions I write as rough draftsto read. He is also doing a comic version, so he gets to keep the hand-written copies after I finish typing them.

Hanyo-girl: Thanks for reviewing my Harry Potter story!

Winged-Raccoon-The-Dragon: One of my friends came up with the wardrobe. Actually, she designed all of my original character's outfits. She's the person I used for a base for Project Fire, who will be appearing in 2 chapters! I can't answer yourquestion about characters knowing charactersat the moment because it would give too much away!

The Wild Ambition: I'm glad you found my story again. I thought you had just stopped reading it or something like that.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything affiliated with Teen Titans. Aqua and Ventus are mine though.


Teen Titans: Search for the Elementals

Chapter 5:
Lessons

As the team returned to the Tower, the group began to break up. Raven returned to her room, while Starfire went to the kitchen to cook some obscure Tamaranean dish of welcoming. Ventus looked around, confused on what to do. Aqua approached him, but before she could say anything, Robin came over and pulled her aside.

"Are you sure it's safe to have him here," Robin asked.

"Is it safe to have me here," was all she said in reply.

Robin, said Raven's voice in Robin's mind, could I talk to you for a moment? Robin walked away from the two Elementals and towards the sliding doors that led to the hallway.

"Follow me," said Aqua to Ventus a few moments after Robin had left.

TTT

"What is it," Robin asked Raven. He knew the only time she used telepathy to contact him was in a secret and important situation, so he asked her, "Is it about them?"

"Yes," she replied, "the wind one Ventus, as you may have noticed, cannot control his powers."

"Maybe we could help him," suggested Robin.

"Yes that is a possibility," she replied, "but he isn't the reason I called you. It's Aqua, there's something about her I don't like. The reason I'm worried is because Terra made me fell the same way the first time I met her."

Robin stared at Raven. He had learned to trust Raven's "feelings" about people, but this sounded odd. Aqua had fought Slade hadn't she? She had said no to his offer. She even had control of her powers. How could she be like Terra?

"Are you sure," he asked.

"Yes"

"Then we'll just have to keep an eye on her," Robin said as he headed back to the living room.

TTT

"So what happened," Aqua asked Ventus. They were sitting on the roof of the Tower.

"What do you mean," he asked her.

"I mean after you escaped from the lab," she replied.

"Oh," Ventus said thinking back, "I was really confused for a while. I didn't know where to go. I just traveled around from one place to another, but since I couldn't control my powers I just ended up messing up everywhere I went. Then a few weeks back, some of those robots started following me. I knew I needed help, so I started asking around. People suggested I come to Jump City to get the Titans to help me. When I got here there were a ton of those robots waiting for me. I guess I panicked and my powers went wild. That's when you found me. You have really great control, can you teach me how to use my powers?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Aqua replied, "Ok first you've gotta find your center; to do that I usually close my eyes and clear my mind." As she said this Ventus followed her instructions as closely as possible. "Then," she continued, "concentrate on what you want to do, and then just let go." When she said this Ventus once again did exactly what she told him. The wind that was blowing at the top of the Tower suddenly became much stronger, and then died down. "Pretty good. I think you've got it," Aqua said, "hey, wanna spar?"

TTT

"Hey Robin," called Cyborg as Robin entered the living room, "check this out." He moved to show the display of the Tower roof cam. "I think they're gonna fight," Cyborg said as he and Robin watched Aqua and Ventus take fighting positions.

"This should be good," said Beast Boy who had just joined them.

TTT

Aqua and Ventus prepared to fight, both deliberating on what they should do first. It seemed like and eternity before they were ready.

"You ready," Aqua asked Ventus.

"You bet," replied Ventus, lowering his goggles over his eyes.

TTT

"I bet ya Aqua kicks his butt," said Beast Boy as they waited for the fight to start.

"I'm sayin' wind boy for sure," said Cyborg as the two sat down with a plate of nachos like they were going to watch the Super Bowl.

TTT

"Let's go," shouted Aqua shooting an orb of water at Ventus. He quickly countered by trying to blow the orb back, but failed to change its course. All the happened was the orb seemed to hit his face in slow motion. Annoyed he sent a gust of air towards Aqua. She was blown back a couple of feet, but otherwise unscathed. "You'll have to do better than that," she said blasting a jet of water a Ventus.

TTT

"This is great," shouted Beast Boy as Ventus tried to push back the water with another gust of wind.

"What is going on," asked Starfire as she glided into the room, "why are our two new friends fighting?"

"They're just sparring Star," replied Robin.

"They seem to be evenly matched," said Raven who had just come in to see what all the commotions was about. "Or not," she said as Ventus' defense finally cracked and Aqua's water jet hit him knocking him to the ground.

TTT

Ventus growled, annoyed by his weakness. Suddenly, anger overtook him and wind was whipping all around him. Aqua was lifted off her feet and landed a few feet from where she had been standing. She sat up as he approached.

"Good first time," she said, "now let's head inside." When they got off the elevator the whole team was there to meet them.

"Dudes," shouted Beast Boy, "that was awesome!"


Sorry for all the scene changes in that one, but it was necessary. The next chapter is going to be extremely short, but the one following it will be almost as long as this one. Please review!
