Chapter 2: Nature's Best Kept Secret
"Whoa, where did that come from?" a weirded out Raven said breaking the silence. It was not just the Titans who were quiet but the whole beach was. The guy that got hit flew off his board and landed about 1/2 mile away, he quickly swam to shore after recuperating.
"We should find out who she is and any other powers she has." Robin said nervously.
"Yes, I agree. I can't wait to meet her and have a new friend!" Starfire said with exuberance.
They watched the girl paddle into shore and watched her as she dried off. She started walking up the beach towards them. "No way!" yelled the girl as she spotted the Titans who were near her. "You guys…no. …you're the.."
"Teen Titans?" Cyborg finished the sentence for her.
"That's sooo cool! I'm so happy to finally meet you all!" the beautiful, tall girl said with a dazzling white smile. " You are very popular. I love hearing of all your adventures! Your in the news quiet a bit."
"Well, uhh" Robin said rubbing his hand behind his neck.
"We are all very glad to meet you friend!" Starfire flew to her with excitement and gave her a hug. The Teens expected the girl to reject it, but she laughed and returned the hug.
"Oh no we got another Star." Raven mumbled to herself.
"Friend…uhh.." Starfire questioned as they pulled away from the hug.
" I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself! I'm Sunni Karwick! I know all of you though!" the blonde said. " Your Starfire, the friendly and caring one! Then there's Robin the strong leader. Followed by Cyborg the mechanical genius. Next is Raven the one with very good comebacks and a cool view on life, and then there's Beast Boy where to start with him! The one and only jokester." Sunni went around shaking hands with everyone as she described them. Raven slightly laughed to herself at the last comment about BB, she trusted this new girl. So did everyone else.
"So I guess you know us…" Robin said.
"But we want to know more of you!" BB added.
"Well I'm well 16 (A/N: or whatever age the Titans are)" Sunni said.
"Where are you from? " Cyborg questioned.
"Well… see that's the thing, I'm from an island called Anileia (pronounced Ann-E-Lee-E-Ah). And I was about to go out surfing when a strange black light surrounded me from nowhere. Then I found myself out of the ocean and in a street here in Jump City. It was very strange. So I walked with my surfboard and towel with my bathing suit still on to this beach. And I went out surfing."
"That brings us to our next question. What are those powers you have?" Robin continued.
"That is even a bigger problem. Before I got transported here, I was out in the woods with my dear friend Coran ,I call him Cor, well We were having a peaceful walk, and then a weird old woman approached us. She said we were "The Chosen Two." Then with some kind of force field she pulled us underground to some lair with trippy lights shining through. And in the middle was a crystal alter. She said it was time and shoved us both, Cor and I, onto the alter. A bright light shone down on us, and my body was filled with light, I looked down and at Cor, we were both glowing. That is all I remember. I awoke back in my room, but I felt different. I was confused so I went running to think things over. During the run I could hear the animals, what they were saying but in english, I also could move the grass and the trees. So I have come to the conclusion after today's incident, I can control nature. Well, I don't know how to control it yet…as you can see what I did to that guy who was hitting on me" explained Sunni.
"OK that's a rough problem." BB said.
"Yes, Friend Sunni, that is a 'sticky' situation" Starfire added.
"Tell me about it, I wasn't even able to find Coran!" a look of sadness fell over the once delighted teen. Raven still sat, she seemed to be thinking hard about something.
"Well Sunni, would you like to join us for lunch?" Cyborg asked holding up his hot dog.
"Oh thank you! I would very much like to join you. I don't have any money though."
(A/N: I won't write about what happens at lunch but this is right before the Titans are about to leave. All have grown closer together, and are pretty good pals.)
"So, Sunni" Raven asked as they were all walking back to the T-Car after a long day of fun in the sun," what are your plans for the night."
"Oh! I haven't really thought about it. Hmm.. I guess I'll find a homeless shelter, I could work there too and help those people!" Sunni assumed.
" Well, you can stay in my room." Raven said, stunning the other Titans.
"And if you stay longer you might want to have a night of slumber in my room as well." Star said.
"Yeah we'd love you to stay in the tower until we find a safe way to get you back home." Robin added.
"Oh, thank you all very much. I will take you up on your offer Raven!" Sunni said with a smile.
"Call me Rae"
"And you could call us all by our nicknames!" BB said.
"Thank you all sooo much!" Sunni said as she went around giving each of the Titans hugs.
MEANWHILE
In a dark room underground…
"Yes, we finally got the girl we need to find out their weaknesses!" A dark voice said, laughing at the end. " We found Nature's best kept secret!"
