Disclaimer: I do not own, Teen titans, and I probably never will.
A/n, this is like Betrothed never happened. I have never even seen this episode, as I do not have cable (I have learned about it from friends.)
A/n 2 The kissing part I got from the actual comic book, issue one of Teen Titans that I actually bothered to rent from the library.
Now, I'm really new at this, but I'm going to reply to some reviews! (And I won't reply to you if you didn't sign.)
Jeanniestorm: I'm glad you think it's interesting!
Kilala63: Yes, eventually she will take three tests to determine… something, can't give that away!
BunnyKat: Some of the next chapters will be longer, I promise, (this one was 4 ½ pages on paper)
Babie A: Like the name, and your story "My Girl" I'm glad that you like it, and they (the chapters) will so totally be longer
Somekindafreaky: He he, loving the name. And as I've said above, new and improved longer chapters are a' coming!
Warning: This may also contain a smidgen of BBRae
Title: Three Tests to Destiny
By: lupine-eyes
Chapter One: Capture the Flag.
At the breakfast table, the discussion turned to that day's practice. "How about… Capture the Flag?" Beast Boy asked, his mouth filled with tofu eggs.
"Beast Boy, I'm surprised! That is actually a good idea." Robin said thoughtfully, and BB turned to glare at him.
"We'd have to split into teams…" Cyborg pointed out, chewing through his own, very real eggs.
"Boys vs. Girls!" BB yelled, apparently proud of himself.
"Wow, two good idea's in one day. That's a new record." Raven sneered dryly. Beast Boy glared at her. And she smiled innocently back.
"I am not familiar with this 'Capture the Flag'" Starfire said meekly, a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch on quickly." Robin replied with a smile. Star flashed a grateful smile at him.
"And, even if this would be your first time playing, we are sure to win." Raven said with another sip of her tea.
"Just what is that supposed to mean" Beast Boy asked, his temple throbbing.
"Exactly what it sounds like." Raven retorted, raising an eyebrow.
"You just wait. We'll beat you with our hands tied behind our backs." he boasted, sticking out his chest proudly.
"Sure you will." She said rolling her eyes. A beat and then, her eyes lit up as if she had been sparked with an idea she would not usually come up with. "Really, so you won't mind making a little wager with me." A sly smile crept onto her pale face. "Losers do the chores for a week."
"Well then dust of your mop 'cause you're on." BB replied and he and Rave shook hands, sealing the deal.
"Hey, those are more chores you're giving us! Don't we get a say too?" Cyborg asked.
"Come on Starfire, we have a strategy to plan." Raven said as she floated off, completely ignoring Cyborg's protest.
"See you later!" the perky alien said with a wave to her remaining friends as she flew after Raven.
"Guess not." Cyborg said with a sigh. And the planning began. (A/n to give them privacy, and so the game will be a surprise, I have decided, not write down the Titans' Strategies)
Both teams called a truce for lunch, although each team (namely Beast Boy and Rave tried to refrain from talking to the other. As lunch drew to a close, and the game was about to begin, the alarm rang. Startled, the Titans rushed to the computer, and Beast Boy screamed from annoyance. "Guess practice is canceled." Robin pointed out.
"Can you at least act disappointed?" Beast Boy asked, his temple throbbing, and foam practically spilling out of his mouth.
"Hey, look at it this way," Cyborg said, in an effort to calm the fuming changeling. "WE get better practices in real life."
"Yeah, but still." Beast Boy stopped foaming and looked down sadly, virtually whimpering.
"Consol him later, we have a city to save." Robin said "T-"
"Yeah, yeah Titans go." Beast Boy interrupted, without much enthusiasm, as the Team ran/flew/levitated to the troubled area.
Just outside the city, the Titan's had landed. They all stood in front of a large silver and purple rocket, with a silver an gold phoenix emblazoned on the side. The looked at it, examining every nook and cranny of the strange vehicle. "I believe it is a space traveling fanthrops from my home planet." Before anyone could ask her to explain, a creature stepped out of it.
It was humanoid in build, in a black and silver jumpsuit, with flared pants and sleeves. It was most defiantly male, although no one could tell how they knew that. He had light blue skin, red eyes, and a glowing yellow third eye, and he was bald. On each hand were three long fingers, and his feet were unseen. He was also tall, really tall,7' and4 ½ '' tall. He gazed at them with his hellfire eyes, then opened his mouth to show a row of silvery sharp teeth. He spoke rapidly in an alien language.
"Do, you understand Star?" Robin asked, gazing at the strange creature with surprise.
"I am afraid I do not Robin. It is not an earth language, nor is it Tamerainian, or Okkalian…" Starfire replied. Then she was struck with inspiration. Whispering a silent apology to the Boy Wonder, she flew up to the creature. The two aliens stared at each other for a moment, then Star, leaned in, and to everyone's immense surprise, even her own, she kissed it.
Raven's eyebrows raised in shock, Beast Boy and Cyborg stared mouths open, and Robin, well, Robin looked away, desperately trying to convince himself he was not jealous. Star set back down to earth. "Can-thixian'ish" she muttered and she stared to converse with the alien in his own language.
"How did you do that?" Beast Boy asked, mouth agape "Learn it's language I mean."
"Physical Contact, Beast Boy. I simply absorbed his language. Its also how I learned English." Star replied
"Who did you have to kiss to do that?" BB inquired jokingly, and immediately both Star and Robin looked away, both blushing furiously. "Oh. Oh, I see what's going on here." He continued.
"Yeah, whatever." Raven said rolling her eyes, apparently not one bit interested in the Line of Romance. "We still need to know what he's saying.
"I said, 'I am looking for Koriand'r of Tameran.' The creature said in a deep voice clearly amused. "I am assuming that's you." He said pointing at Star.
"That is I, but how did you…?" she began bewildered.
"The people of my planet also have that little trick. And I must say your way of transferring languages was much more enjoyable then mine. Usually we just shake our, what do you call them? Hands?" Star blushed at his words.
"Please, who are you?" she asked "And how did you know my name?"
"I am Thornage. I am from the planet Can-thix." He said proudly "And I have been sent to take you home."
