The next morning Raven got up at her regular time-5am. Robin was already up, talking with Kidflash. Raven entered silently and said dryly, "I see that Robin and I are not the only earlybirds."

Both boys jumped and turned at her voice, but relaxed when they saw it was only her.

"What? Did I startle you two?" Raven teased.

"Oh, nothing. Robin and I were just talking about how we could get revenge on the Brotherhood of Decieval." Kidflash said.

"You mean 'Evil'," Raven smirked.

"I knew that," Kidflash blushed.

Raven nodded. "Riiiight. Anyway, what were you two planning?"

Robin spoke.

"We haven't really decided anything since we wanted you, Valvia and Dany to be in the conversation as well, so..."

Kidflash spoke up. "I just remembered something. My parents were captured and killed by the Brotherhood of...Evil. They took me prisoner. That's when I found I had superpowers and got out of there. I know their weaknesses and strengths, plus I know how to thread through the hallways of their headquarters easily. To avoid being recognized by them, I ditched thedark clothing I wore and changed into what I have on. So, don't go thinking I like these colors..." he gestured to his clothing.

Raven smirked. "That was exactly what I was thinking."

"Which part, my captivity or my clothing?"

"Both. Even though you have your light-colored clothing, your personality and humor is nothing compared to Beast Boy's. And, I peeked into your past when I first saw you, but I wanted you to reveal it to us when you were ready. I didn't want to give it away without your permission."

Kidflash smiled "Thanks."

Raven shrugged. "Anytime."

"So, when will we get revenge on them- the Brotherhood of...Evil?"

Robin thought. "As soon as we see what our new members can do," he decided.

When Valvia and Danny woke, everyone had a quick breakfast and walked over to the obstacle courses.

"Wow," Valvia, Danny and Kidflash said at the same time.

Raven and Robin climbed into the control seats. "So, who's gonna go first?" Raven said. "Someone volunteer, or I'LL pick someone," she added menacingly.

"You...you... gulp you mean we have to...to DO that obstacle course!" Danny and Valvia said at the same time. Kidflash just stood there wide-eyed.

Raven and Robin nodded.

"I'll g-go first then," Danny stammered, stumbling forward. "Don't loose control, keep calm, breathe..." he chanted to himself quietly.

"The countdown begins. Good luck, Danny," Robin said.

The countdown screen hit "0". Danny clenched his fists and teeth. Three huge peices of metal that slammed down whenever it sensed someone underneath rose, lightning bolts glowed on Danny's hands. "Time to kick some metal butt," he thought. He jumped onto asmall cloud and flew towards the metal pieces, hands and eyes glowing an intense yellow. As he flewcloser to the first piece of metal, he put his hands above his head. His hands made streaks of lightning in the air.He brought his hands down, and lightningbolts were fired at all three pieces of metal. They were destroyed instantly. "We're gonna need a new obstacle course," Raven mused. Next came flying rocks. Danny put up a forcefield of lightning and destroyed any rocks that came too close.Finally came the explosive-disk-hurlingobjects. They rose out of the ground and began to hurl millions of explosive disks at Danny. He dodged/destroyed all the disks and flew between all the disk-hulers, causing them to destroy each other. Danny half-flew, half-stumbled off the cloud and kneeled on the floor. As everyone stared, Danny stood back up with a flourish. "Uh...finished?" he said, raising an eyebrow. Raven looked at the timer. "2.67 minutes. Not bad for someone who practically fell over in shock at the sight of the obstacle course,"she commented dryly. Danny blushed. "Hey, gimme some credit," he said.

Next was Valvia. Her knees shook as she walked over to the starting point. Danny put a hand on her shoulder. "You can do it," he reassured. Valvia smiled as the countdown began.

Of course she could.

As soon as the timer hit 0, she ran forward as fast as her long legs could carry her, black hair flowing. Her eyes glowed yellow, and her hands carressed fireballs waiting impatiently to be unleashed. As she neared the first piece of metal, she shot huge bolts of fire at the metal, transforming it. She was easily able to run underneath the pieces of metal quickly, as the metal wasn't working appropriately. Next came the flying rocks. She dodged all of them, reflexes lightning-quick. She did an impressive-looking flip over a huge rock as she ran. Finally, came the disk-hurling things. She ran into the center and began to spin fast. She spun faster and faster, turning into a whirl of fire. She finally let loose her fire and the fire blew in all directions, destroying the hurlers and sending sand flying. She flew out of the dust, turning back to human, and landed softly and gracefully. "Done?" she suggested cooly. Raven checked the timer again. "1.67. A whole minute faster than Danny. Nice job," Raven commented, this time not putting too much sarcasm into her words. Valvia smiled and beathed a sigh of relief. She kneeled down, panting slightly, and felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up. Guess who. "Oh, hi Danny," she panted. "Nice job out there," Danny smiled as he helped the shorter girl up. "Thanks," Valvia blushed as the brushed herself off.

Last was Kidflash. He strode over to starting point, getting ready for the big blast of energy that would be taken from him when he finished.

"Here goes. Good luck, Kidflash," Raven said.

Kidflash nodded, blushing a bit. Finally, the countdown screen reached 0. Kidflash gritted his teeth. Running at top speed, he ran underneath the huge peices of metal. The pieces of metal came crashing down 3 seconds late. Next, Kidflash zipped pastrock-throwing thingsand left their sensers confused. Finally, the disk-hurling things came into view. Kidflash ran clockwise around the disk-hurling things, faster and faster, throwing them off his track. The disk-hurling things were thrown out of the ground. When Kidflash saw this, he stopped and ran counterclockwise to help the tornado he had created to die down to dust. He zipped to the finishing line. Raven checked the timer. "0.67 seconds. Another minute faster than Danny's. Not bad," Raven had a sincere look of impressiveness (sp?) on her face as she stepped down from the stands. "All of you, not bad! Especially Kidflash and Valvia. Kidflash, you have broken the record that Robin and I had set for the obstacle course. Valvia, you are now the fastest titan that ever went through the obstacle course. Danny, even though your powers are impressive, you need to work on speed and swiftness. We can help you with that." Danny nodded. Robin led everyone back inside. Sitting down in the living room heavily, he beckoned to the others to sit down as well. Raven plopped down between the leader and the fastest titan. Robin looked around. "Time to start planning," he declared.
