I'm back with the fifth chapter! Things are developing in this story now, and I believe this wiil end up to be, as Star would say, "Most thrilling and compelling!" lol!

DISCLAIMER:The Teen Titans are the innocent victims of the stranglehold enforced by DC and Cartoon Network, keeping me from owning them! Just kidding! Total respect all around!

Chapter 5

A New Player In The Game

She arrived in Jump City, taking in the sight of the towering buildings and looked around in a disdainful manner. She spoke, her voice dripping with contempt.

"Earth. I CAN'T believe she would ACTUALLY choose to make this primitive, backwater excuse for a planet her home. Well, I shouldn't be surprised that she would want to spend the rest of her pathetic excuse for a life slumming like this. She is SUCH a black sheep."

The new arrival flipped her long ebony locks and looked down at her wrists, still adorned with the remnants of a pair of shackles she had previously been the recipient of. The girl eyed a clothing store, but before entering, used her convenient ability of unleashing beams from her eyes to melt away her now useless constraints with a pinkish-purplish glow. Once completely freed of the shackles, she approached the door and narrowed her eyes in a most devious manner.

Where has THAT way of thinking got her, except the fact she gains a great amount of recognition for saving a useless world, has more friends I've ever had in my life, AND…" Her eyes glowed dangerously, but she caught herself from committing an act of totally random violence. Her main priority at the time was fitting in, but an undercurrent of hostility still brewed underneath the surface.

Two faces, both female and both quite pretty, stared up lifelessly out of two separate photographs. He picked up one of the two, that of the half demon girl, and stared longingly before kissing. "I love you, Raven…"

He then picked up the other picture prominently exposed from the floor, and his face then took a somewhat harder edge. The eyes went cold, and a sly, sinister grin creeped upon his face as he brought it closer and his voice took more of a cocky, carefree and decidedly darker tone before he kissed it. "But I love YOU, cutie…"
