Thanks to everyone who revied my last story. Probly would have never considered the sequal if no one liked it. Hope this lives up to expectations.
Without further delay…Chapter One
Chapter One: Friction
Beast Boy's blood was boiling as he paced around his room, "There is no way I'm going to take orders from her!" He turned to his dad who was sitting on the bed quietly, "Why do you trust her still?" Changeling shrugged, "She saved the day…what else do you want?" Beast Boy shook his head, "Was that before or after she tried to kill you?" Changeling stood up, "It's going to be a little hard Beast Boy; I know that. But Nightwing still calls the shots, and he put Terra in charge. You need to get used to it." Beast Boy smirked, "Heh, right. I'll never take orders from a traitor."
"Then you'll never be part of the team." Raven stepped into the room and glared at her son, "Terra's in charge for a reason. If you don't learn to accept that, I will personally take you off the team." Changeling smirked, "That's not really your call anymore, Rae." He turned to Beast Boy, "But I can bet Terra wouldn't hesitate to make the same decision."
Nightwing reached out and shook Terra's hand, "The team is yours Terra. Keep the city safe." He stepped outside into the afternoon air. The five original Titans made their way down to the shore where the transport was waiting. They stepped inside and exchanged goodbyes. Terra watched the craft lift off the ground and waited for it to disappear into the clouds above. She stared at the sky in silence for a moment, then blinked and turned to face the Tower. "Well," she thought, "looks like this is the real deal." She smiled to herself and walked back up the path to the Tower.
"This isn't right. She should not be in charge!" Falcon glared at her friend, "Get over yourself Beast Boy! Nightwing chose her for a reason." Beast Boy smirked, "Yeah, he's out of his mind!" Vortex shook his head, "What are you so upset about. It's not like you would have gotten the position. If Terra hadn't shown up, Nightwing would 'ave named Falcon or Warlock." Beast Boy folded his arms across his chest, "Yeah, cause they're his little pets…" Vortex glared at him, "No, it's because they trained 'arder than you and I ever did, and they deserve it." Beast Boy jumped up and paced around the room, "Then give it to them, not some traitor!"
Warlock jumped in, "She's not a traitor, Beast Boy. What's it gonna take to make you see that?" Beast Boy glared at him, "She tried to kill the Titans!" Warlock shook his head, "One mistake and suddenly she's a criminal for life? She stopped a volcano! That's powerful! Not to mention she took down Slade one on one. The other Titans couldn't even take him five on one. The girl knows how to fight, Beast Boy…" Beast Boy glared at him, "That's not enough for me. I don't care how powerful she is. If I can't trust her…" The Titans jumped as Terra walked into the room. "That's enough," she shouted. "If you guys are gonna be a team, you need to start acting like it!" Beast Boy glared at her, and then turned and stormed off to his room. The other Titans sighed and slumped down on the couch. Warlock turned to Terra and smiled, "Ignore him. The kid still needs to grow up." Terra walked over and plopped down on the couch, "I wonder if Robin ever had to deal with this…"
Vortex smirked, "Heh, you 'ave no idea, mate." Falcon grinned slightly, "Beast Boy's always had a problem with authority figures." Terra stared at them, "Really?" Warlock nodded, "Yeah. He was never one to follow orders." Falcon turned to Terra, "Raven actually shipped him off to live with some relatives a few years back. He spent a few months out of the Tower, and my dad said if he didn't change quick, he'd be off the team for good." Terra shook her head, "That seems a little harsh." Vortex smirked, "Heh, it sure got 'is attention." Terra smiled, "Well I'm gonna avoid threatening him." Vortex stared at her, "Any reason why?" Terra nodded, "I don't want to have to follow through." The group looked up suddenly as Beast Boy stormed through the room and left the Tower. Terra stared after him, "Where's he goin?" Warlock shook his head, "Let him go…he needs to cool off."
Beast Boy was steaming as he wandered through downtown. He mumbled to himself nonstop about Terra and how much he hated her. He stopped suddenly in front of a small apartment building. Beast Boy looked up at it and smiled as he walked in. He climbed the stairs to the third floor and stopped at the apartment at the end of the hall. Beast Boy knocked on the door and a teenage boy around his age opened it up. Beast Boy smirked, "Heh, Frostbyte...just the guy I wanted to see." Frostbyte glared at him, "This better not be what I think it is. I'm not goin through that again." Beast Boy shook his head, "No. It's not." He paused slightly before continuing, "I want to give you a chance to..." Frostbyte cut him off, "Forget it Beast Boy." Beast Boy morphed into a snake and slid through the doorway as it closed. Once inside, he changed back and glared at Frostbyte, "No, hear me out."
Frostbyte shook his head, "Man, I hate when you do that." He looked up at Beast Boy, "Don't waste my time Beast Boy. I'm done with the Titans." Beast Boy sat down on a nearby chair, "There's no 'tryout' this time. If you want in…you're in." Frostbyte stepped back, "But Nightwing said…" Beast Boy jumped in, "Nightwing's out of the picture...so are the others. I'm in charge now." Frostbyte shook his head, "No way. Everyone knows that spot was goin to Falcon." Beast Boy grinned, "Nope." He looked down at the floor, "Technically Terra's in charge." Frostbyte sat down on his bed, "Terra, I thought she..." Beast Boy nodded, "Yeah." He looked up, "They brought her back, and Nightwing gave her the spot."
Frostbyte sighed, "Didn't she try to kill them?" Beast Boy nodded again, "But you know how it is…last minute conversion, and suddenly she's a hero." Frostbyte shook his head, "Tough break." Best Boy smirked, "Heh, no kidding. That's why I'm cutting out." Frostbyte's eyes shot open, "WHAT?" Beast Boy nodded. Frostbyte shook his head, "And you're offering me your position?" Beast Boy shook his head, "No. I'm offering you a spot on my team." Frostbyte stared at him, "Wait...You're quitting the Titans…and starting a rival team?" Beast Boy nodded, "That's the plan." Frostbyte stood up and paced around the room, "Just the two of us huh?" Beast Boy shook his head, "No, Nano's in on this too." He looked up at Frostbyte, "She's building a tower on the other side of town." Frostbyte turned and glared at him, "No way…" A frustrated sigh escaped his lips, "Beast Boy, you can't possibly think this is gonna work."
Frostbyte plopped down on his bed and shook his head, "There is no way I'm backin you on this." Beast Boy looked up, "I didn't just throw this together, Frostbyte." He stood up and glared at him, "Nano's been workin on the tower for months, and she found someone else to join." He started pacing around the apartment, "When Terra showed up, that was the last straw. I'm through." Frostbyte sighed, "So you've really been thinkin about this?" Beast Boy nodded. "Well at least you got one thing right," Frostbyte said sarcastically. Beast Boy glared at him, "I don't need your criticism, Frostbyte. All I wanna know is if you're with me or not." Frostbyte glanced over at his friend and hesitated, "I got your back 'til the end. But I want you to know, you're diggin a hole...and if you're not careful, it could get ugly." Beast Boy nodded, "I know." Beast Boy moved toward the door, "I'm headin back to the Tower. I'm not leaving until Nano's ready for us to move in. He looked back at Frostbyte "I'll be back when it's official." Beast Boy left the apartment and closed the door behind him. Frostbyte sat down on his bed and grinned, "Heh, this is gonna be fun."
Sorry this chapter is so short. It's really only meant to set the stage for the rest of the story. Got ideas for villains? Post them in replies, cause I could use some input.
Just like last time, tear it apart as needed...i plan to put a lot of work into this just like my last one.
