Chapter 2

The Titans had just rushed off and Aria was left there all by herself. What am I going to do! Aria thought I'm trapped here and I have no way of getting home! I'm in a cartoon! How is that possible! Then a new fear came to Aria's mind Stuart! He's home alone now! He must be scared! And to think that my last words to him were horrible! My parents! What are they going to do when they find out I'm gone! They'll all think I'm dead and they're all going to worry! I need to find a way to communicate with them! Ok, calm down. Aria calmed herself down and decided to explore a little. She walked around the Titan's Tower. It was huge! There were so many different rooms. Aria decided not to go in any of them so she wouldn't get lost. The Tower's hallways were pretty long and the Tower had to be at least 10 stories. When Aria was done exploring, she decided to go back up to the main room and just…wait. She didn't have to wait long when the Titans came back in. They were all excited about what had just happened. Robin had Mad Mod's cane in his hand.

"Did you see the way I became a snake and wrapped myself around him! Then Starfire flew out of nowhere and grabbed his cane!" Beast Boy was reliving the moment they took down Mad Mod.

"Yeah, but we have more important matters to discuss," said Robin as he turned to Aria. All the Titans sat on the coach.

"How bout you guys fill us in on everything you know so far," suggested Raven. Aria was a little scarred. Not just of Raven, but of all the Titans. She had seen what they could do. Aria had thought it was all fake. Guess not. Aria had no powers. She couldn't shoot bolts or do magic, she couldn't change into an animal or even do karate. She had taken some karate, but she was little then. However, Aria wasn't a weakling. She was a strong girl and did a lot of sports back home. But she had no powers. She couldn't fight. Aria stood in fear and awe of the Titans and their powers.

"Her name's Aria. You are going to find this hard to believe, but she fell out of the TV. That's all we know," answered Robin. "We need to find a way to get her home. Until then, she'll be living here with us."

"Wait, can you excuse us, Aria?" asked Cyborg.

"Sure." The Titans went of to another room. They had some more things to talk about.

"What if she's a spy or something?" said Cyborg.

"A spy coming out of the TV? That's a little weird," replied Beast Boy. Raven spoke, "We can't be to careful. We've been betrayed before. Other people have come here and seemed innocent but leaked information to our enemies. How do we know that she may not be the same way?"

"We don't know. She may be a spy but what if she needs help? We can't just abandon someone in trouble. All we can do is trust her," said Robin.

"That is true. We help people and I think we shall help her!" declared Starfire.

"All in favor of keeping her here until we can get her home?" questioned Robin. Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg raised their hands.

"She can stay, but I don't trust her." Raven raised her hand.

"Alright, looks like she's staying. She'll sleep on the couch. Let's talk to her about getting her home," said Robin. The Titans walked back into the main room where Aria was waiting. Aria had gotten a little nervous that they would toss her out on the curb.

"Looks like your gonna stay here with us," Robin told her. Aria was relieved. She wouldn't know what she would've done if she had been tossed out in the streets. At least now she had help from the Titans. They seemed friendlier now, except Raven. She gave Aria the cold shoulder.

"I am happy you are staying with us! I am Starfire and wish to be your friend! You will be my friend, yes?"

"Sure!" answered Aria. Starfire was happy to have a new friend and embraced Aria.

"Uh, Starfire, can't breath." Starfire let go and blushed a little. Starfire didn't know her own strength and could get a little excited when getting a new friend. A new Titan came up to Aria.

"I'm Cyborg. If you need any food or anything, I'll cook it right up." Cyborg then came in close to Aria and began to whisper in her ear, "Don't let BB cook you anything. It'll just end up being tofu or something with vegetables. He's not that good of a cook either. Bleh!"

"Hey! I heard that! I'm a very good cook just to let you know! I can cook meat too! What do you think I did at that job all day!" replied Beast Boy. Beast Boy had once worked at a fast food place. He believed he was an excellent cook now. That's what he thought, not everyone else.

Raven had been standing by herself in a corner. She didn't trust Aria. After being betrayed by Terra, Raven didn't trust anyone. She only trusted her four closest friends, Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg. Robin went over to Raven and gave her a little bit of a push in Aria's direction.

"I don't trust her!" whispered Raven.

"I don't fully trust her either. But I'm giving her a chance. She seems nice. Give her a chance. You never know, she might be helpful to the team. Now at least introduce yourself."

Raven gave in and went over to Aria. "Hi. I'm Raven." Aria stuck out her hand. Raven shook it. When Raven touched Aria, she couldn't sense any evil or danger. She relaxed a bit.

"I'm Aria. I don't mean to freak you out or anything, but I know you don't trust me. I've seen you on TV and I know you've never really trusted anyone after that whole…Terra thing." Aria trailed off a bit. She didn't want to offend Raven. "It's ok. You don't have to trust me. I'll understand."

Raven looked at Aria. She could tell that Aria was gentle. Raven still didn't trust her but decided to take Robin's advice. She smiled a little. "Welcome to Titan Tower."
