CHAPTER 2-GUESS WHO'S BACK?

"Titans, go!" Robin threw an electric disk at a group of Hives'. He started to attack Mammoth. He threw punches, kicks and took out his staff.(A/N: is it called a bo? I'll call it his staff. Everytime I watch the staff thing brought out, the word bo enters my brain.)

Starfire attacked See-more. This, time she wouldn't let him look through his X-ray vision. She aimed her starbolt barrage at him before he could snicker and change his eye. "Hiya! Hiya!" she flew a kick at him using her boundless confidence. She suddenly felt severly cold. An ice prison trapped around her and she fell helplessly to the asphalt. She was knocked out cold.

Cyborg's attack on Gizmo was satisfying. Using his sonic cannon, he blasted Gizmo to the ground. When he was about to dislocate the backpack from his back, tarantula, metal, legs popped out and smacked Cyborg into a building. "You're gonna wish you hadn't done that."

"Wanna bet, scum brains?"

"Hiya!" Jinx threw waves of purple energy (or whatever it's called). "Come on, witch, hold still."

"Azerath, mention, zinthos!" black energy shot at Jinx and she went flying next to See-more, who was still out.

"Is that all of them?" Beastboy asked who took care of Ice, the dude who froze Starfire. He looked around as if suspecting more Hive students to come out and battle.

"Yeah," Cyborg said, looking around. "Who wants waffles?" he started to druel in a trance.

"Maybe later, Cyborg," Robin said. He was looking at his communicater. "Dr. Light is robbing a bank. Titans, move," he summoned his motorcycle.

Starfire, Beastboy, and Raven started to fly. Raven turned around and saw Cyborg still in his waffle trance. She teleported him to the bank. "Cyborg," she waved a hand in front of his face. It didn't work. Once everybody else got there, she let Beastboy handle him.

"This time, Titans, you can't stop me!" Dr. Light said. "My suit has unlimited power. It's stronger than ever." Yellow light was thrown at Raven who put up a forcefield. She slid back so she wouldn't fall.

"Titans, go!" Robin threw an ice disk and waited until Dr. Light turned blue. But, his light melted it and shot Robin into a pile of gold, head first.

OUCH!

Starfire threw starbolts at him but was reflected at her. She screamed and flew to the ground. Beastboy, now a bear, tried to scratch him. He only got one good scratch on him before he was sent into a deep sleep by a flash of light.

A piece of gold was suddenly hurled into Dr. Light's head. He gave a befuddled look at Raven then slumped into unconciousness. Raven sent him flying into the police car. She shut the door and went to Cyborg, who was still in a trance. She slapped him, her hand surrounded by a black aura .

"Wha-what happened? Yo, what'd I miss?" he looked around. "So, who wants waffles! Raven, I know you want waffles."

"Dude, I'm beat," BB said. "I think everyone else is too, Cyborg."

"Did you figure that by yourself? I'm impressed," Raven remarked with a smirk.

"What is that supposed to mean. I'm not stupid!"

"Sure, you're the brightest guy on Earth."

"Yeah, I am."

"No, you're not." Raven teleported back to the Tower. She locked herself in her room and started to read. She decided to skip out on dinner and keep reading her favorite book. She stripped her cloak off and got into her pjs. A black nightdress with fuzzy black slippers. She crashed on her bed and fell into a sound sleep.

Hours later, Raven woke up to an empty stomach. She got up and walked into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out the rest of an omlette that she had made for breakfast. She heated it up, sat down, and got her grub on. She suddenly heard something move behind her. She spun around in surprise and saw someone stand right behind her.She gasped and was about to mutter her famous spell at the intruder when he fell backwards.

She turned on the light and pushed the alert button to wake the rest of the titans. They stormed down and saw Raven leaning over the intruder. Her face had lost all the color that it had as she helped him up. She sat him down on the couch and looked at him as she couldn't believe it.

"Josh?"

"Our ship crashed. It wasn't hard to find you." He was clutching the left side of his ribs, he had apuffy bloody lip, a black eye, and he had gashed his head open. Yet, Raven stood looking at him, not doing anything, not even blinking. "You can heal me anytime, Rae."

"Oh, sorry." Her hands suddenly swarmed in a blue aura as she healed his whole body, sucking in the pain for herself. She took a deep breath then suddenly hugged him. "You came!"

"I'm not here for visiting though. I came here to live here."

"Raven, who is this guy?" Robin asked. He stared at the newcomer, confused beyond anything. "How does he know you? How did he get past the security?"

"Yes, Raven. We need to know who this is," Starfire said. "Is he, your friend?"

"He's my best friend. We grew up together at Azerath. When I left for Earth, I left him behind. This is Josh."

"Hi," Robin shook his hand. He didn't know if he should trust this Josh or not, so he took Raven's word for it. "Nice to meet you."

"He is our new friend?" Starfire asked. When Raven nodded Starfire leapt up and gave him her bone-crushing hug. "Hello, new friend, Josh. My name is Starfire."

"Starfire, can I breathe?" Josh's face turned blue. When Star released him, he crashed to the ground and gasped for the oxygen.

"Wazzup," Cyborg bumped fists with him. When Cy saw the look of confusion at the 'handshake' he said, " it's a handshake. A different one."

"Yo, what up? I'm Beastboy," he shook his hand the way Josh knew.

"Nice to meet you all," he said. He glanced at Star who looked like she was going to hug him again. He slowly retreated next to Rae. "When I came here, people gave other people green paper to take things. Why do they do that?"

"The green paper is called money. It's like the coins in Azerath," Raven explained. "You can stay here. I'll show you Terra's room. You can have the traitor's old room."

"Nice to see you've made it better than Arella did. Trigon was furious when he discovered you left. He destroyed half on Azerath looking for you."

"Did he hurt any of you?" Raven opened his door and walked in with him. "Did he hurt my mom?"

"He hurt Arella a little, but the rest of us was just dandy. Mom died a few months ago. She got really sick and was beyond healing."

"I'm sorry. Well, I better go. I'll see you in the morning." She stood there and stared at him. He kept his unruly brown hair, his green eyes sparkled like always, he was a good head taller than her. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." He stripped his black shirt off, kicked his shoes off and jumped on the bed. He could tell that the bedroom belonged to a girl. There was boy posters of Usher, Emenim and other people. It also smelled feminine. He blocked out the smell and went to sleep peacefully. It felt good to have his best friend back. Something in his chest (joy or excitement) swelled up and a nightstand caught fire.

okay, i decided if i don't get reviews then i'm taking the story off. there'll be more fluff stuff or whatever later. but, until then, peace!
