Chapter two
I woke up, my eyes were heavy. I reached for my face, there was a mask covering my eyes. I was about to pull it off, then I felt someone else push it down.
"You'd regret that." They said. It sounded like a girl, when I squinted I could see purple hair.
"My eyes are swollen." I replied.
"You're identity will be lost forever." She answered me, it was like a little argument. But I recognised her voice.
Then I heard someone else come in the room. "Dude! Off with the mask! Off with the mask!"
"Beast boy, shut up, or get out." The girl said.
"Hehe, yeah. Well, I only came in to get my game controller anyway!" I squinted again, I saw him stick his tongue out- wait a minute. He was… green? That cant be true?
"Why is your game controller in the recovery room? You idiot." The girl let go of my mask and hit the boy over the head, then leant out of the door. "Starfire. Are you coming in?" She shouted down, what sounded like a long hallway.
"Dude! That totally hurt!" The 'green' boy whined.
"Raven, please, why does he not remember?" Another voice asked worryingly.
"Its a head injury Star. Most people don't remember a lot after head injuries." The purple haired girl replied.
"Who are you all?" I almost whispered.
"Ok, well. I'm BEAST MAN!" Beast man said.
He got hit over the head again.
"Hehe, alrighty then, Beast boy, but I can still totally kick your butt at video games!" He corrected himself.
"My name is Starfire, your name is Robin. You are leader of Teen Titans." She paused. "Remember the day when Beast boy's music player was on very loud, and he plugged it into the main generator. Then my Tamaranean stew accidentally spilt onto Ravens book, and the game you and Cyborg were playing turned off. That was a very strange day. And we had to defeat the 'Punk Rocket'." She sighed.
All of a sudden images flashed in my head, not of the day Starfire was telling me of. But of a different day. A man with a mask, and I was standing beside him, we were both in similar outfits. He said to me 'I know it seems bad now. But trust me you'll learn to like it.'
I must of passed out because when I woke up again it was dark. I managed to stand up and get out of bed. I knew only half of what I wanted to know. I'm leader of a superhero team, Starfire, Beast man, I mean, Beast boy. But the other two, I still didn't know the other two. I inched out of the room and peered round at either side of the door. Long hallways. I walked round the left, I kept on looking around me. I finally came to a door, it automatically opened. Inside was a desk, a computer, a standing up bed, and loads of technical equipment. I stepped out, and carried on walking. I came to the main room, and the door opened again. Beast boy and a robot man were arguing about who won a video game. Starfire was watching and the other girl was reading a book.
"SHUT UP!" She shouted angrily, which made the other three look like small children.
"Geez, take a chill pill Raven! Its only a game." Beast boy squeaked.
"More over the less reason to ARGUE OVER IT." She replied, then the others turned around and saw me standing there.
"Hey Robin. I'm Cyborg." The robot guy said.
"And I'm Raven." Raven said in a monotone voice.
"You remember?" Starfire asked me again.
"I remember someone with a mask-" I began,
"Slade." Cyborg said.
"Who is he?" I was still unsure of what's going on, how would you feel if you woke up and found out that you fight bad guys all the time and live in a T shaped tower?
The four Titans glanced at each other, as if sending telepathy messages.
"Well?"
"Slade is a villain." Starfire said simply.
"Villain! More like total maniac!" Beast boy crossed his eyes and made a circle around his temple.
"Shut up Beast boy." Raven narrowed her eyes.
Cyborg covered Beast boy's mouth, dragged him to the hallway door and threw him out.
"Don't worry about Slade, we've got it all covered." Cyborg reassured me.
"Who is he?" I asked. Why was no one answering me properly?
"As we said, Slade. He is a villain." Raven didn't even look at me, were they even listening? It sounded like they were just repeating themselves over and over. It wasn't very helpful.
"Tell me more-"
"There's no more to know." It was then that I noticed Raven spoke monotone -y most of the time.
"Yeah dude, what else is there to know? I mean, he tried to kill you once, and you got all obsessive about defeating him. That was spooky. And he…" Beast Boy peeped in the room from the hallway. The other Titans gave him gritted their teeth.
"Okay… I'm gonna' stop talking now…" He ran off down the hallway again.
The others were silent. This gave me a chance to examine my surroundings. I was standing on a red long rug, that led to the arched purple sofa. There was a kitchen area in the left hand side, which was fairly spacey. A huge screen covered the vast window, metres in front of the sofa. All the way round the room were window walls. I found this fascinating. The outside sky was dark and mysterious.
"How long have I been asleep? Or in a coma." I decided to make conversation. After all, I need to get to know my team mates.
"Many days, though it feels like years, as we have always battled villains with you. Never without." Starfire babbled.
"She means two-three days." Raven corrected her.
"Okay…" I edged over to the sofa, and sat down next to Cyborg. "Tell me about yourselves."
"Well I'm half robot because of a tragic accident. I used to be an athlete, but now I've got lots more. Super friends, and gadgets built into my arm!" Cyborg explained.
"I am from Tamaran, a distant planet. Everyone there has the same powers as me. I can shoot star bolts, and laser beams out of my eyes." Starfire lifted up hand, and it glowed green. Then she lowered it.
I stared at Raven. So did Starfire and Cyborg. Raven carried on reading for about a thirty seconds before she realised.
"What?"
"Tell me about yourself." I replied.
"My name is Raven." She carried on reading.
"Please, friend Raven. Continue." Starfire smiled.
"Alright. My name is Raven, I'm from Azarath. Go in my room, and I'll kill you. One thing you should know, I like my privacy." Raven sounded annoyed. She stormed off to her room.
"Don't worry, she's always like that." Cyborg whispered to me.
"BEAST BOY!" Starfire screamed.
He sneaked into the room carrying something behind him.
"Don't you take a step further!" Cyborg looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't worry dudes, its not for you. Its for Rae." He laughed evilly.
"What are they, water balloons?" I asked, dumbfound.
"Man, what's up with you? 'Course they're not water balloons. That is soooo old!" Beast boy rolled his eyes at me.
"Tell us, what is it? A present?" Starfire's eyes grew big.
"Oh, it's a present alright." Beast boy laughed evilly again. "I went to the prank shop." He grinned.
"Show!" Cyborg demanded excitedly.
"Well… I bought her this!" Beast Boy pushed out his hands, he held a small globe. He then opened it, to reveal a ring.
Starfire gasped. "YOU ARE TO QUESTION RAVEN TO MARRIAGE?" She screeched.
I nearly fainted. I've only just found out I practically own these four people. I cant cope with marriage!
