Chapter Seven: Icicle
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. If I did, though, you couldn't tell because I love it the way it is!
Hello! I just want to say sorry to teentitanstruefriend for us both having the same idea for Terra's sister, Lauren! Great minds think alike, don't they?
I've been slaking on this story, I admit. I couldn't find the vibe for a little while, but then it suddenly hit me! I got so into this chapter! I know, my chapters are not the longest in the world, but I hope you enjoy them anyway!
I'm not sure how many more chapters I can milk out of this fic, but I hope you will accept it with its not very much chapter's glory.
Let's go!
Lauren had woken up, and was lying in a dreaming state. The clock read 7:00; it was almost time for Lauren to wake up. On weekends, she woke up at 7:30.
"Lauren, time to get up," The voice of Robin filled her room. Lauren shot up, eyes opened wide.
Lauren saw Robins face appear on her mirror.
Lauren looked at her mirror "How… how can you appear on my mirror?"
"Let's not get into the Towers technology-"
"Built by me," Cyborg's head appeared with Robin's.
"Yes, Cyborg, we know. Anyway, Lauren, you have to come down the living room, we want to leave for Leap City in half an hour."
"Right, right," Lauren hurriedly got out of bed, "I'll be right down."
Robin nodded and his image disappeared from her mirror.
"Weird tower," Lauren mumbled as she got her tank and jeans out of her dresser.
After about ten minutes, Lauren was ready, with her hair pulled back into a high ponytail (unlike regular cartoon characters, Lauren changes her hair style about every day) and her turquoise purse in hand; she took the elevator to the living room.
"Hi! I'm sorry, I usually sleep in till 7:30 on weekends," Lauren blushed, "I didn't realize that superhero's woke up early on Saturday and Sunday!"
"That's fine, Lauren," Starefire said, "You are not accustomed to life in the Tower. We understand."
With just a bit more talking and planning, they all filed into the T-car. With one small problem.
"Yall, we found a problem," Cyborg said as they opened the doors, "the T-car is built to hold five, and we got six."
"That's all right," Lauren said. She didn't want to be of any burden to the Titans, "I'll fly behind the car."
"There is no need to fear, Beast Boy is hare," Beast Boy said. He quickly morphed into a ferret, and then sat on the headrest of Ravens seat.
"This will not be a pleasant ride for a certain ferret," Raven mumbled, as she got into her seat, "not pleasant at all."
This is a weird group Lauren thought. Ah, well. This was probably normal to them.
Once they had all filed in (and Beat Boy moved to Starefire's headrest) Cyborg started the car and it zoomed off.
They had been driving for about five minutes when they heard a crunch on the top of the roof,
"What was that?" Lauren said, panicked. She had never faced a villain hands on before. She fought on the sidelines, mostly. Terra had done all of the hands on stuff.
Cyborg sharply turned the car, but that didn't take the villain off of it. Cyborg pulled into the off lane and they all got out of the car.
On the roof stood a girl with long, raven black hair and ice blue eyes. She wore a suit similar to the one Terra had worn back when she was his apprentice, except the shoulder pads where white and the suit was ice blue.
"Teen Titans," they girl said with a sneer in her voice, "Oh," she looked right into Laurens eyes, "who is this? A tag along? No matter, the more the people the more the pain."
"Uh, Do we know you?" Beast Boy said
"Who are you?" Cyborg questioned her.
The girl smirked, "Your worst nightmare."
"Please," Lauren found herself saying, "That is so old."
The Titans stared at Lauren in shock. Lauren would have stared at herself at that moment, but that is physically impossible. What had gotten into her? She never said things like that!
The girl pierced her with her ice blue eyes, "Call me Icicle. You won't need to know that, though, because you'll be the first to go. And to make sure you don't get in the way." She turned to the Titans and sprinkled powder on them. In a few minutes, they were frozen solid.
Turned back to Lauren and leaped cat like towards her. Lauren dodged, but slightly preoccupied.
"Have I seen you before?" Lauren said as she dodged a kick
"Only in your nightmares."
"Why are you even going after me?" Lauren tried to doge a punch, but it hit her square in the chin, "They are what you want!"
"I need a warm up," Icicle said smoothly, throwing punches and kicks like she was made of water, "You are my kind of punching bag."
"Hey!" Lauren said, crouching down and pulling one of her legs," I'm no one's punching bag!"
Icicle fell down, but quickly got up "Get used to it!"
Lauren continued to doge. She was never good at fighting, but she had taken self-defense classes.
Icicle bent, did a spinning kick witch knocked Lauren over.
That will hurt in the morning Lauren thought as her butt made contact with the ground.
Icicle yawned think I'll end this for you. I'm slightly board."
She threw sharp stars at Lauren. One hit Lauren on the shoulder.
"Oh," Lauren said, checking the wound. It was deep. "Feel like breaking the rules? I'll do the same." She blew wind into Icicle, making her almost fall off the edge.
"You can control the wind?" Icicle said in a sort of your-not-good enough-for-the-wind voice.
Now, it was Laurens turn to smirk, "Get used to it," Icicle aimed a punch at Lauren's face.
Lauren grabbed Icicles wrist, and sense they where near the edge, she swung around and let go. Icicle went tumbling over the railing.
Lauren looked over the rim, only to find Icicle clinging onto the edge.
"I meant to get the Titans," Icicle said, "but my master might find you much more interesting."
"Your master?" said Lauren, "who's your master?"
Icicle smirked "If only you new."
She took a tiny disk out of her pocket, and then it grew into a large one. She jumped on it and jetted off into the distance.
Lauren gazed out, looking at where Icicle had been.
"Mumumumumu, Munumino"
Lauren turned around, suddenly remembering where the Teen Titans where.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said in apology, as she raced over. The ice was pretty thick, so Lauren couldn't blow it off. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her Swiss Army knife. She took out the swirly part of it and boarded a hole. After a little while, the ice gave in and cracked into two different pieces.
"Are you guys okay?" she asked. They could've gotten a serious frostbite if they stayed in too long.
"We're fine," Cyborg said, checking everyone with his scanner, "are you?"
Lauren smiled. They where all so nice to her. "I'm fine," she said, but then she remembered her cut, "well, mostly."
She glanced down at her cut. It was bleeding now. Not very seriously, but still bleeding. The red of her blood clashed horribly with the blue of her tank top.
"Friend, you are injured!" said Starfire, flying over to Lauren.
Raven calmly walked over, gave Lauren the once over, and then put her hand on the cut.
"Aserath, Metrione, Sinthos." (I'm sure that is spelled wrong. I don't know how to spell it correctly, so if you do, please tell me!)
Lauren gazed down in wonder. Her wound was completely healed. She didn't know Raven could do that!
"Do you feel fine?"
Lauren was a bit shocked. Raven never used to talk to her directly. Never!
Oh well, Lauren shrugged; there is a first for everything.
"Yes, I'm fine," Lauren, said. Actually, the cut still singed a little bit, but not much. Besides, Starfire already thought her a whip (A/N: Starfire doesn't. Lauren is just being her nervous, paranoid, self), she didn't want Raven to think so too.
Raven nodded and turned back to the Teen Titans, who where all in the car.
"Are you riding of flying?" Beast Boy said out of the open window. Then he snickered. He probably thought his joke was very funny. Personally, Lauren didn't get it.
"I'll be right there!" Lauren shouted. She gazed over the railing and sighed.
"Where have I seen her before?"
Switching Scenes.
"You have failed me, Ivy. You do not have the Teen Titans DNA."
A voice came out of a corner. The speaker was in shadow, so you couldn't see his face.
"Yes, Master," Icicle bowed, "I'm sorry. But, I think I have found something more interesting for you."
The screen behind her flickered then came an image that said security camera on it. It seemed that Icicle had tapped into the security camera so whoever her master was could see.
The camera showed Icicle and Lauren fighting on the side lane. Icicle was throwing hits, Lauren was dodging them.
"Good, Ivy," the man in the corner said, "You have done well. Who is that you're fighting?"
"I'm not sure," Icicle confessed, "but she can control the wind."
Icicle said this right when Lauren blew a current of wind at her.
The man pressed a few buttons on his remote control, so that a file of Lauren came up.
The man nodded, and then leaned forward in his chair.
He was wearing a mask. Half of it was brown, and half of it was black.
"Good, Ivy," Slade said.
Ha! I'll stop there. I'm sorry this took so long to get up on but it has to be my longest, no? Now, to the reviewers. Thank you so much!
