(So sorry for taking a while to update, got busy at school, stupid excuse, I am just in highschool)
TITANS TOWER
"Who do we get?" Robin finally said after fifteen minutes of browsing.
"How about this guy named Kili, he has some very powerful telekinetic powers and seems to have a very good personality," Fireteen said as she showed the other Titans the folder.
"It wouldn't really work," Darkness said quietly.
"Why?" Fireteen asked.
"He wouldn't be that strong for us, I mean he has the same powers as me, it isn't enough to make us stronger, but we can keep him on a maybe list," Darkness said.
Robin nodded and put the folder on the side. "Alright, any other suggestions?" he asked.
The Titans went through a couple of other possibilities until Guardian said, "What about that Ice person the HIVE used to have?"
Fireteen and Robin gave disaproving looks, Fireteen spoke for both of them, "She fought against us, she could be bought off, we can't trust her. I mean we need to be sure of the loyalty of a new member, we can't risk betrayal, besides we also can't afford the time of training a new Titan, this hero has to be experienced and have skills in all fields," she explained.
"Guess your right," Guardian nodded realizing what she said was true.
"Here she is!" Darkness said a little loudly.
"Who?" Robin asked, he was worried they would not pick someone; they had already gone through most of the files.
"Nightfire," Darkness said.
"My cousin?" Robin responded.
"Your real cousin or like Darkness," Fireteen asked.
"My real first cousin," Robin replied, "We used to play with each other, including Darkness, when we were younger. Her mother is my mom's sister, Blackfire, but they don't really like each other. Her father is the reason we even met and got along and also why she is a superhero," Robin explained.
"Who is the father?" Guardian asked.
"Red Arrow, also known as Speedy," Robin said.
"Red Arrow? How did he know Starfire's sister, how did they get intimate, I didn't know he was married," Fireteen said very confused on how this couple worked.
"Apparently, fourteen years ago, Blackfire was trying to take her throne back on Tamaran, the Tamaranians asked a Justice League member for help and they picked Red Arrow. Reason being Red Arrow had red hair and could be disguised as a Tamaranian. Anyways, he went undercover, and fell in love with Blackfire. However, he had to leave after he found out the plot was fake, there wasn't going to be an attempt and he also found out that there was some crises on Earth. He left without telling her, and she thought he had left because he found out she was pregnant. As you can imagine Blackfire was very ticked and found out who he really was, they actually fought each other several times but finally reached a compromise, with my mothers help. Red Arrow didn't want his newborn daughter to grow up evil and Blackfire didn't want the child to grow up on Earth, so far away from home. So the deal was simple, Nightfire would be raised on Tamaran, not with Red Arrow or Blackfire who was banished again, and she was raised to be the next empress and to be a great warrior. She is a very good fighter and she has all my mothers' powers," Robin finished the long story about Nightfire's past.
"She is perfect," Guardian observed.
"Yeah, she has the powers and skills we need, she has experience with you two so she should fit right in and we can go straight into the hunt," Fireteen observed.
"Let's call her then," Robin said as he turned on the master computer, he was calling Tamaran.
The screen turned on and on the other end, after several minutes appeared a very beautiful black haired Tamaranian girl, where Robin should more of his human heritage, Nightfire showed more of her Tamaranian blood. Her human features were her eyes and her skin wasn't as golden as atypical Tamaranian, but it was still very golden colored. She was very beautiful and pretty.
"Robin?" she said a little surprised. Her voice was like an angel.
"Hey Nightfire, how are you doing?" he asked.
"Fine, been awhile hasn't it?" she responded with a smile.
"Sure has, how is your mom and dad?" Robin asked.
"They are doing well. Did you just call for how they are doing or do want to ask me something?" Nightfire said she didn't like small talk; she liked getting to the point.
"Right, I was wondering, if you would like to join the Teen Titans and help us save Auntie Raven," Robin said.
"Say no more, if Auntie Raven is in trouble I am on my way to join," Nightfire said, "Where are you?" she asked.
"The Tower, Jump City," Robin said.
"See you in a day or two, just need to let the royal family know then I will come," Nightfire said.
"Thank you so much, we really needed you," Robin said with a smile. The connection was cut off.
"So, I guess we got a full team to take on the HIVE now," Fireteen said.
"Guess we do," Guardian said behind her.
"What about all these three people on the maybe list, the ice girl, Kili, and that girl Aries," Guardian said as he picked up the list.
"How about we make a Titans reserve team, emergency members incase we need backup or if someone gets hurts," Fireteen suggested.
"That's not really a bad idea, I mean, we can't have that many people living in the Tower, but we could have a reserve team. The Justice League has a reserve team and it is really helpful to them so it should help us too," Robin said.
"What should we tell them about this team?" Darkness said.
"We will ask them if they would like to join the Titans Reserve," Robin responded.
"Since we have a couple of days before Nightfire comes let's split up and get them on this team," Guardian suggested.
"Good idea!" Fireteen said with a smile, Guardian couldn't help but smile back.
Robin looked on full of jealousy that shouldn't have been there. "Alright, I will hold the fort, Fireteen get Kili, Guardian get that ice girl, make sure we can trust her, and Darkness, you can get Aries," Robin ordered, his voice full of command.
"Alright," Darkness said as the other Titans quickly left the Tower with the folders in their hands as they went to make the reserve team.
"Wait!" Robin yelled as the team quickly returned, "We forgot one more file," he said as he picked up the last file.
"Who is it?" Guardian asked.
"He calls himself Avengement, oldest of all these other guys and a lot more ruthless and extremely well trained in combat," Robin summed up the file he was looking at. "Apparently punched my Dad in the face, very interesting character," Robin thought.
Guardian took the file and looked through it next, he frowned, "Trained by the punisher, and apparently has an anger problem, but he is extremely good," Guardian said.
The two girls also looked through and were kind of scared of his picture in the file, which was a picture of him shooting a rifle at a target quite a distance away.
"The chemistry of the team could get affected, but I also want to have quick contact with this guy," Robin said to the team who were also being torn by indecision.
Darkness spoke, "How about we make him the leader of the Titans Reserve, and how about we deploy the Titans Reserve through him since he will be the leader."
"That works, so you guys go to the people I assigned you too, and I will get this guy," Robin said as now all the Titans left the Tower.
SEAFRONT
JUMP CITY
Guardian really didn't have to go far; he just flew high above the city and spotted an ice house on the Sea Front area, very obvious. "Wonder why I never noticed that before?" he thought to himself as he flew there.
He entered the small house without knocking; there wasn't really a door so he couldn't knock even if he wanted too. "Damn its cold in here," Guardian thought as he shivered into the living room of the house. The chairs and tables were made of ice and Guardian didn't want to know what the kitchen looked like.
The ice girl entered the room in a towel and growled at Guardian, "What are you doing here!"
Guardian, embarrassed, quickly turned away, looking down and he said, "Sorry, didn't know you were changing, I just came by to give you a proposition," Guardian said. Unable to control his teenage body, Guardian struggled to keep himself from spying a glance at the extremely beautiful, aquatic blue girl in a towel. Of course, being with such morals and beliefs Guardian held himself, but it was very hard.
"Give me five minutes," she sighed as she left back to her room to finish changing. She did come out five minutes latter and walked up to Guardian and demanded, "What do you want?"
"I am here to offer you a spot on a new Titans team we call the Titans Reserve," Guardian said.
"Do I get to fight the HIVE?" she asked eagerly.
"Maybe, the reserve team will be called up if we get into too much trouble, or if someone on the active team gets hurt, or incase some team members need a break," Guardian explained.
"I don't have any other job at the moment and it is the only shot I get at killing those HIVE bastards so okay, I will join," she said as she shook Guardian's hand.
"That was easy, didn't even need to question her loyalty to this new team," Guardian thought as he began to explain in more detail about the system the Titans had developed.
ATLANTIS
Darkness loved visiting Atlantis; it was really a beautiful city with magnificent architecture and beautiful people. She had remembered visiting the city with her family and how she enjoyed the exotic fish and people, but now she was here on a mission, not as a tourist or wide eyed child.
Darkness arrived at the grand palace, a new building constructed recently, it was built for Aquaman and his family along with his hand picked prince, the hero once known as Aqualad and his family as well. Aqualad had one daughter, her name was Aries and she was the pride of her father. She was telekinetic, able to talk to fish, had super strength like her father, and also manipulated water like her father. She was a pretty girl, light blue hair, dark blue eyes, lean, tall, and very elegant. Her superhero outfit mirrored her father's old uniform, she covered herself well, Atlantians were very stern when it came to exposing skin on the surface world with all its perverted barbarians.
Darkness went to the front gate, told a guard to tell Aries her old friend Christine had come and then Darkness waited for a response. Atlantians were also very strict about security and did numerous checks to make sure anyone from the surface world was who they said they were. The guard returned, and behind him was Aries in a purple dress fit for only royalty. She smiled and actually gave Darkness a hug. "Been so long my old friend," she whispered.
"Hello Aries, it has been too long," Darkness replied, a little taken back by the affection her childhood friend showed, especially since Darkness was a surface dweller.
"I hear you are now going by the name Darkness and are now a Teen Titan, like your mother and father were," Aries said to a surprised Darkness. "I may live underwater, but don't worry, I still keep track of my friends," she said with a smile.
"Actually, that's why I am here," Darkness began.
"I am sorry, I cannot join a superhero team full time, I have royal duties," Aries said quickly.
"We know that, which is why we want you to join the Titans Reserve," Darkness said to Aries who immediately lit up to the idea.
Then Darkness began explaining the team to Aries as they watched those same exotic fishes like they used to do years earlier.
TITANS TOWER
Guardian had arrived to the Tower first, since he had just gone to the other side of town to find his person. He put the file on Ice down but then froze, he had taken two files by accident, and underneath the file was another one they hadn't looked at. Guardian flipped through it and quickly pulled out his communicator to tell Robin, this girl was perfect for the reserves. Robin also agreed very quickly and then Guardian was off to Japan to find a hero calling herself Nola.
HAITI
Fireteen arrived in the small island nation to find a very young new hero who was just making his scene as a people's hero. While most superheroes kept their identity and whereabouts a secret, some almost fanatically, the young man, Kili loved his profession and it was usually pretty easy to find the hero if you wanted to. Kili enjoyed being loved by the local people for his battle against corruption and very upbeat attitude, the Justice League hadn't taken him only because he wasn't of age and he wasn't considered trustworthy if he learned the other members identity. The worry was he would just tell everyone.
Fireteen, as she had expected, easily found Kili in the Haitian capitol signing autographs after he had captured yet another corrupt politician. Fireteen landed and the crowd looked in awe at the flying girl in the fancy clothes and made way for her. She moved forward easily and found Kili sitting there with a big smile as if expecting Fireteen was going to come at that moment.
"Howdy!" he said it very good English. He gave her a sparkling smile and his upbeat, positive energy radiated off him.
Fireteen was taken back, although she was typically a very upbeat person, being surrounded by the brooding personalities of Guardian, Robin, and Darkness had begun to take its toll on her. "Hello Kili, I have a job offer for you," she began.
"The Justice League finally accepted me?" he said with excitement.
"Actually no, you got a better deal, the Teen Titans are forming a reserve team and we would like you on it," Fireteen said.
Kili's eyes widened, it was a teenager's ultimate dream, offered a spot on the Teen Titans, even as a reserve, he immediately began listening patiently as Fireteen explained the rules and plan for the Titans Reserve.
NORTHERN CANADA
It was a large, unpopulated forest, almost empty of human life, almost. On a small clearing, a series of targets were set up and the young teen hero Avengement, who was trained by the Punisher, was preparing to do some target practice. With his expert sight he began throwing knives at the assembled targets, hitting bull's-eye each time. On his fifth throw he was interrupted. "Nice throw," Robin said as he landed next to Avengement.
"Robin? What here to beat me for hurting your dad or something," Avengement said as he threw another knife, not concerned or worried by Robin's appearance.
"I am here on business, I am here to offer you a job which might actually allow you to do some crime fighting instead of hanging out alone throwing knives," Robin said.
"Really? The Justice League accepted me?" Avengement said in surprise.
"No, I am here to offer you leadership of the Titans Reserve," Robin said with a small smirk.
"Jump City?" Avengements said, he had actually thought of going to the corrupt city and bring in his own brand of justice.
"Occasionally, whenever we need a reserve member we will call you and you will decide who will come, you can also pick yourself to come," Robin added.
"Why can't I be the leader of the Titans and you be the leader of the Titans Reserve," Avengement said with a grin.
"Alright, how about this, you and me, one on one, no weapons, winner becomes the leader of the Titans, and the loser becomes the fair and obedient leader of the Titans Reserve," Robin said simply.
Avengement smiled savagely and got into a fighting position after removing all his weapons. Robin took off his belt and cape and also went into a fighting position; they prepared to attack one another. Avengement launched an expert series of punches and kicks; Robin dogged them and launched his own counter attack which Avengement fought back. After fifteen minutes of just blocking each other both panting boys realized one of them would get tired soon and when one of them got tired the other would take complete advantage.
After several more minutes, Robin made a lightning move and tripped up Avengement, before Avengement could get up Robin was on him like a monster. He hurled nearly a dozen punches with full force on Avengement who was on the ground in pain.
"You win!" Avengement growled as Robin moved back.
Robin, without a word, helped Avengement up and gave him a special communicator. Robin then began to explain to him his responsibilities as the leader. Avengement just nodded in grudging respect.
JAPAN
Guardian arrived to find Nola in Japan. According to the file Nola was being trained in a ninja training center located in a remote forest area. Guardian didn't really know of Nola even knew English or anything about the girl, he really had no idea about how to even find the girl in the sprawling school. He landed in a courtyard and looked around, no one was outside. Finding it odd, Guardian entered a room to see a monk worshiping, after the monk finished Guardian walked up to him and said, "Do you know any English?" he asked.
"Yeah, studied in LA," the monk replied in flawless English with a big smile.
Guardian smiled back, "I am looking for a girl, a powerful girl," Guardian said.
"Oh, you must be looking for Nola!" the man said.
"Yes, can you take me to her?" Guardian asked.
"Why yes, yes, of course, just follow me," the monk said as he led Guardian to another building. Inside Guardian recognized the girl from the photo; she was wearing a black ninja outfit, meditating, her mask off.
"Nola dear, you have a guest," the monk said as he bowed leaving the two heroes alone.
"Are you from the Justice League?" Nola asked when she got up and faced Guardian, with piercing, powerful black eyes. She was pretty attractive, slim, very elegant looking and her accent gave the illusion of a very innocent girl.
"No, I am from the Teen Titans and I am here to offer you a job," Guardian said.
Nola nodded, recognizing the name and within fifteen minutes she was part of the Titans Reserve.
FIVE HOURS LATTER
TITANS TOWER
"Wow, that was a long day," Robin said as he collapsed on the couch, tired.
"Yeah, sure was, long flight," Fireteen said as she also sat down, close to Robin.
"You didn't have to fly to Japan," Guardian grumbled as he sat on the leather chair, facing the TV with the other Titans.
Darkness had actually fallen asleep on the other couch and didn't say a thing. She was exhausted from her trip and she hadn't completely healed from her near death battle with the HIVE.
The Titans Reserve had been successfully completed and while the Titans congratulated each other on creating their own backup team Avengement began making contact with the new team and was organizing them so he could contact them when they were needed instantly.
IQBAL'S HIDING PLACE
"We have to show the Titans some message," Iqbal told the HIVE members sitting in front of him.
"How about we destroy Jump City University, which is considered the only untouchable place in the city. Even Hartwell will fear us if we destroy it, the Titans reputation as crime fighters will be tarnished," Jinx suggested while the other HIVE nodded.
"Alright, make the plans and prepare to attack the Jump City University, when you have a plan, tell me and only when I approve will you attack. Is that understood guys and gals," Iqbal asked his team.
The HIVE just nodded with smiles, they just needed a plan then they would be able to go loot another rich sector of the city.
