Um, for those of you out there that are reading and not reviewing, um, please review…

From the previous chapter…
"The eight went down the hallway, to three rooms. Each had a small nameplate, but there were no words on any of them.
"We'll put your names on them later," Cyborg explained.
He opened the door to the first room, and Melvin screamed.
---------------------------------------------
Beast Boy crouched down to reach Melvin. "Melvin, what's wrong?"
"Th-there's no room for Bobby!" She wailed.
"Bobby?" The titans besides Raven questioned in unison.
"Yes, Bobby," Melvin continued, dumbfounded with the titans blank expressions, searching the halls and room for any sign of another living thing. But they saw nothing. Then…
"Oh! Welcome, friend Bobby! Please, feel free to partake in the choosing of your room!" Starfire cried, seemingly hugging a big pocket of air. Of course, it was Bobby that she was hugging.
The remaining, non-believing titans wore bemused expressions.
"Bobby is a, uh, hmmmmmmmm…" Raven said. "I guess, Bobby is a, um, big teddy bear. You can't see him unless you believe in him," she explained.
"Oh, okay..." They said, giving each other looks like, "Someone forgot to take her medicine this morning…"
"So!" Raven said, wanting to start on a new subject, "Who gets this room?"
The next day, after the kids had picked their new rooms, everyone woke up. (Gee, great sentence, huh? "Everyone woke up"…nice one…I'm just getting better and better with my sentence structure…not)
It was a rainy day, and the pouring rain could even be heard through the towers near soundproof walls. Everyone gathered around the kitchen table, after some twenty minutes banging on doors, trying to get the new team members to wake up.
"Today," Robin started, "Melvin, Timmy, and Teether will show us what they can do. You kids ready?" He asked the three.
Melvin nodded dumbly, Timmy started whining, and Teether began to drool. "Oh, boy." Robin thought. "This might take longer than I thought."
The eight entered the training room, since it was too rainy to do much outside, besides slip around in the mud. (Fun fun fun!)
"So." Robin said, hands together. Melvin, what can you do?"
Melvin looked at Robin proudly. "I'm a tell-tella-telekinetic!" She struggled with the word, being a 7-year-old who's not used to such vocabulary.
"Great." Beast Boy thought. "Just what we need. Another grumpy, tea drinking, don't-you-dare-bother-me-while-I'm-in-my-room person on the team."
"And Timmy, how about you?" Robin questioned. At the sound of his name, Timmy opened his eyes wide, happy to have some attention at last. Melvin and Teether were getting all of the attention. Middle children always get the least. Proud of his power, and the fact that he was now wanted, Timmy opened his mouth and started wailing. Robin furrowed his brows, wondering what he could have said wrong. Starfire rushed over, hoping to help in easing the child's tears. Raven also came over, and told Timmy to stop crying and act like a big boy for Robin. But Timmy only cried harder. And harder. And harder. Until the room started to shake, and the lights flickered, including Cyborg's mechanical eye. And then it stopped. Robin, whose hair had been blown out of its usual spike from Timmy's crying, simply said, "Wow."
Then it was Teether's turn. He just sat there, on the floor, looking up at Robin expectantly. Raven, seeing that Teether first needed an object to demonstrate his power on, told Cyborg to go grab some nails from the garage. Cyborg ran and got the nails, and handed them to Raven, who gave them to Teether.
"What's the kid gonna do with some nails?" Cyborg asked. But Raven only shushed him.
The team watched the baby put some nails in his mouth, chew them around for a bit, and then look up at Raven. "Robin, take off your cape, and hold it out in front of you," Raven instructed. Robin did this, and then Raven nodded to Teether. Then, Teether spit out the nail in the direction of Robin's cape, where it exploded on impact. Robin stared at his cape, dumbfounded.
"Well, what'd you know!" Cyborg said. "The kid can work with nails better than I can!" He laughed.
Teether smiled proudly, and then spit up in response.
