The bay was glowing a soft golden yellow as the sun rose over Jump City. People were waking up all over the city preparing to go about their business. Car horns were blaring as morning traffic began. Jump City slowly came to life as the morning sun glared sharply off the windows of Titan Tower. Robin was sitting atop the roof of the tower welcoming in the new day. Looking towards the horizon, he watched the gulls fly overhead. He thought about what new possibilities that this day may bring for him and his team. Down in the kitchen, Beast Boy and Cyborg could be heard arguing over who would be cooking their breakfast first. This of course was aggravating Raven, who was attempting to read in the living room while drinking her herbal tea. In the bathroom a faucet squeaked as it was turned off, where Starfire had just finished her morning shower.

"Dude! I need to use the pans first! I don't want animal grease in my food! Hand 'em over Cy!" Cyborg was holding a frustrated Beast Boy at bay with an outstretched arm, preventing Beast Boy from reaching the cupboards behind Cyborg.

"Hey man! I need to eat too! And I'm not about to wait for you to cook your nasty tofu first! Besides, maybe I don't want your nasty soy juices in my food!" Cyborg retorted, the two now grappling with each other.

"Do you two ever act your age? I was reading." Raven asked, entering the kitchen. Hand on her hip, she sounded dangerously annoyed.

"S-sorry Raven! We'll be quieter in here, we promise!" Beast Boy said, raising his hands in apology. Cyborg took this opportunity to snag the cutlery he needed to cook breakfast.

"Booyah! Eggs and bacon, here I come!" Cyborg gave a laugh as he began frying up the bacon.

"Dude! No fair!" Beast Boy whined, crossing his arms and sulking.

Raven rolled her eyes, "Good to see you to two could resolve this on your own." she deadpanned, turning around she went back into the living room.

Starfire glided into the living room, "Good morning friend Raven!" she exclaimed, practically dripping with enthusiasm.

"Hn," replied Raven from behind her book.

Unphased, Starfire continued into the kitchen, "Friends! Shall we partake in the breaking of the fast?"

"We're a-" Cyborg was interrupted by the alarm going off. Robin burst into the kitchen followed by Raven.

"Trouble," Robin stated, and with that the Titans took off.

Atop a cliff looking out over Jump City stood a teen wearing a light-brown duster, blue jeans, and a long sleeve forest-green shirt. Pushing back long wavy wheat brown hair he let out a sigh. He hated cities, but he'd been traveling for over a week now and was in need of rest. It was bad luck that this happened to be the nearest place to stop. Grimacing, he considered moving on, as this place made him nervous. He had heard that this city was the home turf of the famed Teen Titans, and if there was one thing he hated more than cities, it was being around people like himself. He never asked to be special, and he considered it a curse more than anything else. Everywhere he went, people expected him to use his gift to help everyone. To him, it was too much stress, too much responsibility, he couldn't help everyone. He wasn't cut out for the rigors of being a superhero. That's why he had left, because people couldn't accept that; that, and… no…he didn't want to think about the other reason he left. They felt he was being selfish, they couldn't understand why he would reject his gift.

At least no one will know me here, he thought to himself. I'll stay here for the night, and leave as soon as I wake up. The youth started to shake as memories of his home town flooded back to him. Taking a deep breath, we willed himself to be calm, crooking his finger subtly, he let a gentle breeze swirl about him, blowing his anxieties away, granting him protection and comfort. Cruel, how my only solace lies in the source of my problems. He let the breeze die away. No powers in the city, I mustn't draw attention to myself. Sighing again, he lifted his backpack from the grass and flipped his shades down over his eyes. Turning, he began walking back down the cliff, dreading what this morning might bring.

The Titans arrived on the scene to find Plasmus drinking from an overturned chemical truck at one of Jump City's more busy intersections.

"Titans, go!" cried Robin and the team sprung into action. Raven began by clearing away the hazardous chemicals with her powers before they did harm to the people in the area. Starfire and Cyborg pelted Plasmus with starbolts and sonic blasts while Robin drew his staff and Beast Boy snuck around to Plasmus' other side. Turning into a ram, Beast Boy charged Plasmus from behind while Robin charged from the front. The two connected simultaneously with the slimy villain, smashing him to pieces.

"Yesss!" cried the changeling, swinging his arms and legs in a rather goofy victory dance.

"Don't celebrate yet." Raven said, pointing towards the mess. Splattered all over the place, the ooze that made up Plasmus' body began to form into multiple, smaller forms, numbering 15 in total. As soon as they were all formed, the little Plasmoids took off in different directions.

"Not good…" Cyborg said, grimacing and shaking his head.

Robin dusted himself off, " We'll have to take them out one at a time, as soon as you incapacitate one of them, try to find another one! We can't let them destroy the city! Alright Titans, split up!"

The duster-clad traveler stopped at a pizza place to eat. He was hungry for some real food after spending a week eating the snacks in his backpack and whatever else he could find. He was feeling real nervous with all these people around. Sitting in a booth he began tapping his foot quickly with anxiety. I wish the food would hurry up, I just want to find a cheap motel to sleep in and get the hell out of here. He ran a hand through his hair and frowned at the table. This looks like a popular place, dammit, I should have picked a smaller restaurant. I hope the Titans don't like pizza, that'd just make things worse. Okay, deep breaths, hold it together man, you can do this. He was about to take a deep breath when the waiter arrived with his pizza.

"Excuse me sir, but you ordered the supreme, correct?" a skinny, pimply-faced waiter asked.

The youth was startled out of his trance, "Ahh! Wha? Oh, sorry. Umm, yes, I ordered the supreme. Er, thanks." He said, brushing a lock of hair out of his face.

The waiter raised an eyebrow at this, "Riight, well, here ya go." he placed the pizza on the table, then turned and left.

About to grab a slice, the teen was interrupted by screams coming from the sidewalk. Looking out the window he saw a man-sized purple ooze-creature attacking people. What the hell is that? No wonder the Titans are so renowned! I only had to deal with normal criminals in my town! Shit, just sit tight, the Titans will be here soon to take care of it. Don't interfere, don't panic, and NO powers. Most people were running out of the building attempting to flee the area. But he just sat there, watching the mayhem. He was relieved to see that no one had been hurt yet, just cars, newspaper stands and the like. After about fifteen minutes, the traveler started to worry. Where are the Titans? If they don't come soon someone is going to get killed! Th- Shit!

His thoughts were interrupted as he ducked a lamppost that came crashing through the window.
