Author's Notes: Soon after uploading chapter 1, I noticed a slight continuity error in the first half of that same chapter. It hasn't been corrected, though. Sorry! --;
Oh, and from now on, in scenes where the Titans are interacting in relaxed situations, I'll be beginning to use the characters 'regular names', but for anyone not familiar with TT, there'll be small introductions so you know which person is which Titan. Enjoy chapter 2.
So, Blake introduced herself. Born in the 17th century, she was orphaned by Vampire Lemur attacks. She gained powers from the attack, so she guessed it was an even trade-off. She defeated the Vampires, found out she was a witch, went to Hogwarts, married and created a totally unrelated surname for herself, married into the Sohma family and broke their curse, had kittens, learned lots of martial arts, married into the Son family, married into the Potter family, committed murder, captained a ship, grew a beard, married into the Valentine family, was a detective, and became a Jedi. Not entirely in that order, though…
That fascinated the Titans. They immediately let her into the Tower, and planned to make her an honorary Titan.
"You have to come to my slumber party next week! Oh, my god!" Squealed a totally OOC Raven
"Hey, I just thought of something." Blake said, "We all live in this tower together, right? Well, doesn't that mean that every night is like a sleepover?"
"Oh, I guess you're right…" Raven replied, "…wow! I'm so stupid sometimes!"
"Hahaha," Blake laughed, "I know!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaaaaaah!"
And that continued for another five minutes.
"So, Blake…" Dick took her aside after the laughing was done, and removed the earplugs from his ears, "…how'd you know where to find us?"
Blake raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean, Robin?"
He stared at her hard, trying to be serious, "I was hoping... Do you remember what you said to me that day? You always said you'd come back to me…"
The slightest smile appeared on Blake's face, and she placed her hands against Dick's chest. She didn't say anything, just winked at him, before she ducked aside, and joined Koriand'r in the kitchen. It was Kory's (a.k.a. Starfire's) speciality to make dinner - dialling up for pizza on the phone. However, she didn't know how to use it, so Blake showed her how. When the pizza arrived, she didn't have to pitch in at all, since everyone wanted to share with her. Then, she was led into a spare, fully furnished bedroom with a full ensuite.
Blake had a hot bath and washed her orange-black hair until it sparkled. As the bath water was draining, she stared at her reflection in the small mirror. Her eyes shone purple and watered up as she looked at herself, though. She was a haunted soul.
Orphaned at five, and going through several different temporal dimensions (not to mention many more husbands) before she had even reached fifteen had taken its toll on her once perfect looks. Nobody understood what it was like to have an angst-filled past such as hers. Nobody was enough of a kindred spirit to heal her. Nobody had come to her 13th birthday party… Who could understand what it was like to be her, having lived in the 1600's, and also the year 2050? Was that a pimple on her cheek?
Back out in the lounge room, Terra a.k.a. Tara looked up over her magazine at the others. The boys all seemed to have their eyes on the bathroom door, waiting for the moment Blake stepped out, so they could shower her with love and admiration. Raven and Starfire were talking beauty tips, while doing some cross stitch. Sounded like they were planning on taking Blake out to see a romantic movie tomorrow night. Tara's eyes narrowed as she returned to the article she was reading. It hadn't been too long ago that she had been the person of the moment….and she was the one everyone had showered with love and fluff.
She stood to her feet, and crumpled the magazine in her hands before leaving in a huff. Nobody seemed to notice.
Tara couldn't help it. This new girl was pushing in on her territory. She paced up and down her own bedroom. It was infuriating to think that she was being 'replaced' by Blake! Her train of thought was interrupted by a knock on her bedroom door. It was Beast Boy a.k.a. Garfield Logan.
"Hey," Tara smiled, relieved that it wasn't Blake, "wa'ssup, Gar?"
"Nothin' much..." He replied, "...I just wanted to talk to you a bit. That okay?"
"No problem." She sat on her bed and patted the material beside her, where he promptly sat, "What did you want to talk about?"
"Well, it's more like I need your opinion on something. D'ya promise not to laugh?"
"Of course!" Though despite the fact Gar had asked her not to, the reflection of whatever potentially embarrassing secret he had, wanting to confide in her to bought out a small giggle.
"You sure inspire confidence, huh?" He tweaked an eyebrow in her direction
"I'm sorry...please go on."
"All right. Well, you know how everyone is talking about taking Blake to the movies, and all that…well…I was thinking that we could, you know, do something different…"
"What?" Tara blinked her eyes, a slight blush forming on her face. Gar was so nice to her…taking her mind off of Blake for a few hours…and where the two of them could be alone…
"I was thinking maybe…a limo over to Gotham, where we could go to this neat new restaurant that I heard about on the TV…" Gar's expression was thoughtful, "…what do you think she'd think of that?"
"Oh, it sounds wonderful! Gar, I'd lo--" She cut herself off, as the word registered with her, "What do you mean, 'she'?"
"Blake, of course!" He rolled his eyes, "Duh!"
"…" In her brief moment of happiness, Tara had thrown her arms up in the air, like she could bear-hug Garfield. Instead she looked more like she could strangle him.
Gar seemed to not notice, as Tara slumped back down on the bed, "Yeah, I'll bet she'll really like that!" He slapped her hard on the back, "Thanks, T.!"
She didn't respond, simply looking up at him with narrowed eyes.
"Are you okay? You know, with the whole 'Blake thing'?" Garfield looked at her quizzically
"...yeah..." She replied after a slight pause, lying through her teeth. She really wasn't 'okay' with Blake being around (far from it!), but she knew better than to tell what she thought, seeing that Gar was head-over-heels for Blake, as well.
"Okay, well I'll see you later, then." He left quickly, off to finalize his plans for his date with Blake.
Tara clenched her fists tightly after she was alone, feeling even angrier than she had been before. This was too much! Perhaps she could accept the others taking too much of a shine to their new guest, but with Gar after her, too, she knew she had to do something drastic…
((To be continued))
Author's Reflection: Hopefully there wasn't too much speech in this chapter. I figured that there had to be some romantic tension/angst somewhere, as it's a typical Sue trait to instantly win affection!love from EVERYONE. Next chapter should have more action in it. I'll say right now that the future involves some competition between Terra and Blake, as to who has the most omgossum p0werz. Terra's trying to out-Sue her competition in the next chapters! Who knows? Maybe this'll become a slightly more serious story.
I hope that if you find it entertaining that you'll review! - Reviews make the story come out faster/better! Is the humour appealing? Or is it a little too overboard for your tastes? Let me know!
Oh, and just for the record, I like Terra. A lot. Until next time
