Teen Titans: Symphony of the Darkness
Book 1: The Silence Breaks
Chapter 1: New Sensation
By Saint Raven
Raven let one hand rest on Jinx's right shoulder as the two approached the main doors to the tower. The pink-haired witch glanced upwards apprehensively, her eyes wide with fear.
"Into the fire, I suppose," Jinx joked, her nervousness easily seen through her false bravado.
Raven smiled, "There's nothing to worry about. You've finished serving for the crimes you were wanted for, and your sentence was reduced due to your help with capturing the HIVE Five."
"Yeah, I guess." The witch's eyes glanced to Raven. "You promise that Seemore'll get out soon?"
The dark mage chuckled. "Obsess very often?"
"Hey, he helped to!"
"He fired at Beast Boy, missed, and captured Mammoth on accident. That doesn't count as helping."
Jinx pouted cutely.
No sooner had the pair entered the tower when a red and yellow blur burst into view, condensing into the form of Kid Flash.
"Hello ladies."
"Hi Val." Raven deadpanned, walking past the speedster. Jinx giggled as Kid Flash walked with them to the main living area.
The room had been rearranged into a makeshift dining room. The couch and small table and chairs had been removed and a long table now took up the majority of the room. Already seated at the table were the vast majority of the Teen Titans.
Kole giggled as Jericho signed something funny to her. "Yeah, so what happened next?"
Jericho smiled and began to sign again.
Robin and Speedy sat near the head of the table, comparing sparing notes. G'nark and Cyborg arm-wrestled one the counter in the kitchen. Beast Boy and Argent sat with the kid trio, making faces at the kids.
As the three entered the room, all conversation stopped. Every head in the room turned towards the three who had just entered.
Jinx was well-aware of all the attention that was suddenly directed her way. Feeling suddenly self-conscious, the witch partially hid behind Raven. Leaning against the double doors, Kid Flash stifled a grin.
Raven stepped forward, "Robin, we have a new applicant who would like to join the Teen Titans."
The Boy Wonder crossed his arms over his chest. "Well, it's not just up to me." He looked over his shoulder to the rest of the table. "Any objections?"
Jericho rose from the table and moved to stand in front of Jinx. He locked eyes with the witch, but made no move to control the young woman's body.
Jericho's intense stare made Jinx nervous. She gulped loudly but refused to break the young man's gaze.
Finally, the blonde turned back to Kole and grinned.
"Hurray!" Kole exclaimed. "New member!"
Jinx exhaled slowly. She turned and grinned at Raven.
"See, no worries."
The violet-haired girl shook her head and joined the witch at the table, taking the open seat next to Jinx.
The masked man lurched forwards in his chair, his eyes never leaving the monitor showing the Titans' living room.
"Yes!" He exclaimed, thrusting a clenched fist into the air. "Ah, Goddess, there you are! Now the fun can begin! At least, when that unsuspecting fool of a brother arrives…"
The young man leaned back in his chair and smiled.
"At last, the Queen's ascension begins…"
"…so then," Beast Boy continued, throwing his arms into the air for dramatic effect, "then, Cyborg was all, "Booyah!", and Raven was all, "Zinthos", and crap, and then, The Brain was all, "Curse you, Titans!", and I was all, "Hi-yah! Screw off Ganondorf wannabe!" ,and then-".
"Alright Beast Boy, we understand what you mean." Robin said with a laugh.
Later that night, after the meal was ended and the teens in their sleeping spaces, Raven slowly climbed the stairs to her own room. She and Jinx had sat up talking together until the witch's eyes was obviously drooping. The dark mage had bade her friend good night and was just now entering her room.
As the door slid shut behind Raven, she immediately noticed something wrong with her room. She crossed to her desk and looked at the plain white envelope on her desk.
Carefully, Raven picked the envelope off the desk and held it in her hands. Using her powers, she made the envelope translucent and, after checking to make sure nothing but a letter was in the envelope, Raven opened it. She took out the letter and began to read. Her eyes grew wide as she began the first sentence:
"Sister, we need to talk…".
