Chapter 2: New Members, New Foes

Beast boy had stopped in a jewlery store as he headed back to the tower. He found his gifts for all the titans except Terra, which he wanted to be special. As he walked in the store he saw Robin eyeing a green sapphire necklace that had a bright silver lining. "Guess im not the only one shopping for a special gift." Beast boy said laughingly. Robin scratched the back of his head and laughed. "To true BB, what are getting for Terra?" Beast boy shifted slightly and pointed at a charm braclet on the top shelf. "I had the shop owner make it for me, it has some of her favorite moments on it." Robin smiled, he knew Beast boy was a great gift giver and Terra would be glad to recive it.

Raven stared at Lucius wondering what he meant by bieng "cold". He just smiled and began to walk back to his bench, hoping he made a good impression. "Sorry for the dramatics, I just need a place to stay real bad." Raven put her hand on her head and sighed. "I hope you dont think joining is just that easy." Raven walked up to him gently swaying back and forth. Lucius nodded, he knew it wasnt going to be easy but he needed to have a home. "Dont worry about me rae, ill be fine you'll see." And with that he was gone. Raven just blinked and rubbed her eyes, it seemed like he just vanished. "I didnt even sense him leave!" she stated worriedly. Raven decided to head back to the tower, she needed to inform the others.

After Robin and Beast boy bought their gifts, they headed back to the tower hoping that the sun stayed up for a little longer. But to both their dismay the sun set in almost cartoonish manner. "Ahh that sux, now we gotta carry these things in the dark." Beast boy said defeated. Robin just looked to see they only had a block before the docks and shrugged. "Hey the walks good for us, keeps us fit." Robin said in a matter-of-fact tone. " O sure bro, like you so need the exercise." Robin only whistled quitly as they neared the docks. "Hey boy wonder, BB, can i help with those bags?" Robin recignized the voice and was shocked as the figure moved into the light. "Jynx? What the hell?" Cyborg was standing beside her with an arm around her waist. "Um..hey guys...heheh happy Glok'spung?" Cyborg said nervously.

Raven had just transported into her room and dropped her heavy laden bags down on her bed. She laid on her bed and tried to piece together what she knew about Lucius. He was very cheerish. "Yay." she thought, he had a lot of strength,and was really really fast. "He must be skilled with martial arts as well." remembering he had his arm blades and throwing stars. Raven heard yelling from the common room and went to investigate. "Dude shes a friggin Hive agent!" Beast boy said remembering all the fights they had been in. "Not anymore shes not, remember? I destroyed the school and she escaped Brother Bloods mind control." Raven saw Jynx next to Cyborg and just walked over to them all putting a hand on her head. "Shes not a spy, and she really needs protection you guys." Robin nodded and smiled. "Never thought i say this but, Jynx welcome to the team." He handed a communicater to her and turned to Cyborg. "You owe me so big." Cyborg sighed and looked down at Jynx. " Thanks for all your help Stone." she leaned up and kissed him.

Lucius saw the island in the distance and a smile crept across his face. "Finally ill have a home to live in and not a damn box." Lucius ran normally twords the dock as not to freak anyone out more by showing up right in their face. "Well there young fella you headin to the tower?" an older man was in the docks fishing. "Yes sir, finally getting myself a home." Somthing caught Lucius's eye and he turned around to see two older teens. One hade a spiked short hair that was a fiery red, his eyes white as snow gving him a blind look. He wore baggy blue jeans and a skater brand hoodie and had a match in his mouth to top it off . The other had his jet black hair slicked back and had very dark brown eyes. He wore black cargo pants with silver zippers up his leg to his knee, His shirt bieng a short sleeve black dress shirt. Lucius smiled, "What brings you her my friends?" The black haired individual walked up to him calmly and extended his hand. "The names Shiv and this is Sparks, we heard about these guys and wanted to see just how tough they are." Sparks rolled his match in his mouth back and forth giving a sadistic smile. "I hope we can meet them fairly soon, im burning with anticipation!" Sparks cackled.

The titans were celebrating quite heavily. They ordered pizza in and sat around the table exchanging gifts. "They are lovly Beast boy!" Starfire sqealed as she opened her present of little jingle bells for her ears. " Yo, this is gonna make the T-car like five times louder. Aw man thanks Raven!" Cyborg opened his sterio gift. This went on for quite some time untill all the gifts were done. Jynx even got a couple gifts from Cyborg and Starfire. "You guys are the best! This is so much better than H.I.V.E, we would shun a thing like this." Starfire looked worried. "They didn't let you celebrate Glok'spung? thats terrible!" Everyone looked at each other and laughed a little. Raven remembered about Lucius and called their attention. "Guys, I met a guy in the park today.." Beast boy chuckled in Terras arms "Aww you mean you finally found someone?" Raven shot him the death glare and he turned into a chipmunk and shudderd on Terras leg. "Anyway, he wants to join. His names Lucius and if my guess is correct, he should be here soon." They all nodded and seemed to think it would be cool to have yet another titan.

Lucius's calm and caring smile was gone in an instant. Replaced by a solid look of warning. "I will not alow you to hurt them, they're going to except me and let me live there." Lucius took his stance(BTW: Lucius fights with ninjitsu.) and swung his arm blands foreward,gripping the handle. "Well, you obviusly wont make this easy. Very well then, we'll make an example out of you." Shiv said in a cold,unfeeling voice. Sparks took his match out of his mouth and raked it across his teeth lighting it. "I light my meat well done thank you." Shiv said to sparks with a laugh. Sparks put the match in his mouth and shot a large stream of fire at Lucius.

" Hey, Terra." Beast boy said with a gentle smile. "I got you something else, though you might like it." Terra's eyes beamed as she saw the bracelet. "Are you kidding BB? I love it!" Terra threw her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. " I hoped you would." Terra laid acroos his lap and he tenderly rubed her back, she was tired and fell asleep almost instantly. "Guess ill take her to her room." he thought as he picked her up and carried her down the hallway. Raven wouldnt admit it, but she envied them. Her powers only let her feel so much and she never had much luck with guys. "Just once," she thought. "I wish I had what they have." Raven felt a tear cascade down her face and she quickly left for her room.

Lucius had managed to survive. The two sinister teens had burned,cut,and beat him very badly but he didnt really hurt. "It's time we left," as Shiv looked at thier half defeated foe. "after all we dont want to kill you just yet." At these words Lucius collapsed, having lost a lot of blood from many of the cuts in his body. "See you around, and next time. At least fight back." It was true, Lucius hadnt even put up a punch. He wanted to know what they were capable of and to his misfortune, they were capable of plenty. Shiv and Sparks just strolled of as if nothing had happened. " Are you ok boy?" a frightened older voice came. "Yes im fine," Lucius said with a weak smile. "But could you please assist me to the tower? I fear my loss of blood if to great to make it on my own." The old man nodded and helped him into his boat, turning on his motor and going as fast as he could. Once there Lucius thanked him and limped twords the door.
