Chapter Two.

The Titans stood on the roof of the Titan's tower, watching a familar aircraft approaching the landing pad. "I wonder what our new friend will look like?", questioned Starfire. "Robin, do you know if our new friend will be a girl or boy?"

"No Star, I kinda forgot to ask Speedy before we closed the connection. I guess it'll just be a surprise."

"Good, I like surprises!", giggled the happy Tamarian.

"I wonder what kind of powers they'll have. Do you know Robin?", Cyborg asked.

"No, I forgot to ask that too."

"Hey Robin?"

"Yes, Beastboy?"

"Do you think they'll like video games?"

"What? I don't know Beastboy."

"Aww...okay."

"Here it comes", announced Raven, and then she began to step back, avoiding the gush of wind that began to spread beneath the jet.

Speedy let the aircraft down slowly, seemingly talking to the new arrival behind them. The awaiting Titans watched anxiously as the jet was shutoff and the glass roof over both Speedy and the new Titan. Slowly the two riders got out of the airplane, and jumped to the ground. Speedy came up to the Robin, "Well, we're here, so..."

"Speedy, you could at least take your helmet off, geez," the new guest said jesting, and began to take their's off.

"What? Oh, right, I forgot about that."

A tall raven haired girl stood in front of the Titan's, holding the helmet to her side. "Hi there, I'm Stormfist."

The three male West Tower Titans stood in a state of shock, mouths open wide. Robin was the first to speak, loudly clearing his throat. "Hi...I'm-I'm...umm..."

Raven spoke up,"His name is Robin", she said, shaking the new girl's hand, "I'm Raven."

"Yeah, I'm Robin, welcome to the West Tower. I guess our home is your home for now."

"Nice to meet you finally, Robin and Raven", the girl replied, smiling. "And you must be Starfire", she said and outstretched her hand to the correct person.

"Yes! It is nice too meet you, new friend Stormfist!", Starfire, obviously excited by the new arrival. "May I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"You seem familiar, am I right to say you are from the planet Zubon 12?"

"Um, no, not exactly, I'm from earth..."

"Really? What city do you come from, my friend? It must be a glorious race, you have such gorgeous hair! I have only seen hair like it on Zubon 12!"

The raven-hairred girl laughed, twirlling a strand of her hair between her fingers, "I'm not from a city, I lived on the midwest plains with my people."

"Oh! I see, you look like the warriors who fought cowboys on the movies Robin likes to watch–oh I do not know how to say the word, can you help me, friend Robin?"

"She's Native American, Starfire."

"She is a woman of the earthly warrior tribe! Glorious friend, we must discuss our similar tribes! But friend, why do you not wear the paint of war?"

The girl laughed, "It's a little inconvenient to have to paint symbols on your face when a villain is destroying the city. I don't wear much that resembles my people, except for my outfit, and she pulled the jacket she was wearing back, showing the light brown, spaghetti strap shirt she wore underneath her clothes, a red 'v' like decoration at the round of the neck."

Before Starfire could question the importance of the symbol, the girl moved over to Cyborg and Beastboy, shaking their hands. "Nice to meet you two." Looking to Cyborg, she smiled, "I believe you are Cyborg, because Bumblebee has told me much about you...but she said you would be able to help me with figuring out a remote she gave me to "unpack" my things while I stayed here...is this alright?"

"Huh?", asked the gaping half-mechanical man, and then looked down to the remote. "Oh, you need to re-expand stuff you've packed? Sure, I can help you, we'll just have to get it out of the plane first."

"Well, actually, it's in this backpack."

"Oh, well, as soon as we get you to the guest room, I'll be happy to get your stuff back to size, and show you how to use this remote", explained Cyborg, smiling. "Man, she's hot", he thought to himself.

Directing her gaze to Beastboy, she smiled again, shaking his hand. "Hey, you must be–"

"Doyoulikevideogames?", Beastboy asked, not thinking of introducing himself.

"Yes, I do", said the girl, trying hard not to laugh, "But sadly I haven't got to play any in a long time. Do you have videogames here?"

"YES!", said the three West Tower male teen Titans, their smiles huge.

"Great! Well, Speedy, I guess I'll be fine here", the girl replied, turning back to her pilot. "Thank you for the ride."

"It seems like you will, Stormfist. Do you want me to tell Bee to check up with you when I get back?"

"Please and thank you", answered the girl, who hugged the masked redhead,"I guess I'll see you guys in..."

Speedy blushed and then hugged her back, "You never know when it comes to Bee, she likes to pay attention to details, you know. My guess is around a week, with Cyborg's help. Is that cool, Cy?"

"Sure, I'll come over tomorrow to help out." "'Cause I'm gonna take as much as time possible before I have to butt horns with Bumblebee", he thought to himself, grim thoughts of wrench beatings lying in the future.

"Alright, well, I'll see you later guys, bye Stormfist!"

"Goodbye Speedy", shouted the new Titan, waving her goodbyes with her new friends and temporary teammates.

"I thought this would be coming up, with the warnings I got from Bumblebee. So...I guess, fire away!", exclaimed Stormfist, flashing her brightest smile.

"Okay", started Robin, "Your real name?"

"Calamity Stormfist."

"Age?"

"Lady never reveals her age."

"Come on, I've gotta put this in the database later...", Robin replied.

"Oh, okay, I'm 16."

"Really!"

"Yes, did you think I was older?"

"Um..kinda."

Stormfist laughed, "I don't know if I should be insulted or happy about that."

"Sorry. I just had to know. But, on to the next question, what's your powers?"

"Um...hmm...I guess that would be super strength, speed, and endurance. Plus, some say I have a nasty bite."

"What!", exclaimed the listening teenagers, looking curiously at the girl.

"At certain times, I have the ability to transform into a wolf. It's not really MY power, but it was a gift from my grandmother, and like I said, it happens very rarely."

"What do you mean?", questioned a surprised Beastboy. "Another shapeshifter? Wow, dude, this girl is like me", thought the changeling.

"I don't do it often because unless I'm angry enough that the pain and stress doesn't bother me, it really hurts. It's like being pulled completely apart and then put back together, really fast."

"Ouch", sympathized Raven.

"Yeah..."Stormfist said, slightly trailing off. "Next question?"

"What does your family think about you being a superhero?"

"Well, my grandmother loves it, she's very excited about there being a girl warrior from our tribe. But my uncle and older brother do not approve, I think mostly because they were not given the gifts from birth or from my grandmother as I was."

The girl began to look sad, so Robin changed the subject quickly. "Um...what's your favorite food?" The girl smiled at him.

"PIE!", she said gleefully. "Especially blackberry and apple pie. Oh, and sweet corn nuggets...and...um...", she looked at the Titans and held her stomach as it growled. "I think I'm a little hungry now, actually."

"Yeah, me too dude", admitted Beastboy, slumping over backwards on the couch.

"Alright, well I have one more question and we can leave to get something to eat. Stormfist, what's your favorite thing to do?"

The girl smile brightly back at the masked boy. "That would be dancing", she admitted.

"Well, I say we go out for pizza, followed by a trip to the dance club later tonight."

"GLORIOUS!", shouted a very excited Tamarian.
