Okay. This probably should have been here a long time ago but blame it on writer's block.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own TT or it wouldn't be cancelled.
The next day, Raven woke up with a start due to a loud crash. She rushed out of her room and towards the crash. She looked a little relieved when she saw it was only Misty. Apparently she had dropped some pots and pans. The others, except BB, had also rushed out of the room. "Oh. Sorry I woke you. I was cleaning the pots when it slipped." Misty said with a sheepish grin.
Raven observed Misty. She had tied her brown hair into a low ponytail and wore more casual clothes then the day before. A tight, purple shirt and short, black pants. She wore a simple but surprisingly stylish pair of sneakers. Raven had to admit, Misty really knew how to dress simple and gorgeous. Almost immediately, Raven shook the thought off and mentally slapped herself for praising a person she hardly knew. A chain hung around her neck with a small but beautiful seashell as its charm. Around her wrist was a bracelet with a small pearl in the middle. Raven remembers noticing it the day before, although the others did not.
"Um, it's okay. What's that smell?" Robin asked. Misty smiled again. "That is breakfast." She replied. Raven's eyes shifted to the table. There were three plates filled with bacon and eggs, one filled with tofu cakes, one bowl of cereal, and a mug of herbal tea,. No sugar. The others had a glass of milk by the plates. Starfire looked at her friend. " This is most glorious, friend Misty!" "Um, thanks Starfire. Bacon and eggs for Cyborg, Robin and Starfire. Sorry, I didn't know what you liked so you'll have to settle with eggs and bacon, okay Starfire?" Misty looked at Starfire apologetically. Star nodded. She was obviously satisfied with her breakfast.
Cyborg looked at his plate with his mouth watering. Robin, Star and Cy had already taken their seats. Cyborg was about to dig in when Misty hit his hand lightly but enough for it to hurt. (If he could feel with his hands…) "No." Misty stated firmly. Not until everyone's at the table. Herbal tea is for you, Raven. I'll go wake BB." Misty picked up a piece of Tofu cake with her. Curious about what she was going to do with the tofu cake, the Titans followed her to BB's room.
Misty slowly waved the tofu cake near BB's nose so the scent would drift to his nose. Beast Boy suddenly jumped out yelling :"TOFU CAKE!" He grabbed the piece from Misty and stuffed it into his mouth. Misty laughed. "C'mon, Beast Boy, there's more on the table. Soon everyone was at the table. Even Raven because Misty refused to let anyone eat unless everyone was at the table.
Questions once again were asked and answered. "So, how old are you, Misty?" BB asked. "Seventeen." She replied. "I knew it!" Robin cried out excitedly. "How did you know what kind of food we liked?" asked Raven coldly. But Misty once again shrugged the coldness of her voice away. "Your personalities and powers, of course. You like to meditate so herbal tea was perfect." She replied.
Suddenly, the alarm went off. "So much or breakfast…"Misty sighed before Robin commanded his team, "Titans, GO!"
Another robbery was accruing in the Jump City Research And Technology. A chip which was mega-important forced Slade to personally retrieve it. "Slade." Robin growled. "Ah, Robin, how nice to see you again." Slade said in an irritatingly calmed voice. "Whatever you're planning, Slade, it's over!" Robin stated. "On the contrary, Robin, it has only just begun."
"Dude, why do they always say the same thing every time we fight?" BB asked. "Beats me." Misty replied. Before another word was spoken, Robin flew at Slade. Although the order was not said, the others got the message. As Slade's Robots appeared from nowhere the Titans took their stand.
Beast Boy morphed into an ape, smashing as many robots as he could without letting the robots hang on his back. Raven called upon her power, levitating whatever she could wrap her emotions around and throwing it onto the robots. Starfire shot powerful starbolts from her hands and Cyborg used his sonic cannon. Misty used martial arts. Raven noticed this and wondered, "Does that girl have powers?"
Meanwhile, Star's focus was on Robin, fearing he might get seriously injured. In her thoughts, she did not notice that a robot had flung a huge piece of metal. Starfire soon realized this. She shut her eyes tightly, expecting to feel the metal hitting her. Suddenly, a flash of light hit the metal, sending it of course and instead it a flew other robots nearby.
The Titans, except Robin, were stunned for a second but went back to fighting although confused looks still plastered their faces. Raven looked at Misty. For the first time, she looked furious. An intensed look flamed in her eyes and a frown appeared on her face. As much as Raven hated to admit it, she looked scarier than Raven herself.
Just then, the sound of an injured Robin was heard. Raven looked at Misty again. Misty had stared at Robin for a minute then she turned to Slade. Misty walked towards him with the anger still in her eyes. Once she was an inch from Slade, she stopped. Slade seemed to be frozen on the spot, literally. Misty punched him in the stomach, punching all the air out of him. She continued beating him up until he was on his knees.
Misty took him from the collar and lifted him from the ground. Pushing him against a wall she growled softly and angrily but Raven managed to hear what she said. "It's not like I'm not pissed of already, but don't test my patience. Don't you dare lay a finger on him while I'm around. Got it?" Without waiting for a reply, she dropped him.
Slade stood and took to his heels, dropping the chip. The Titans were stunned. They didn't know her long but it was still surprising to see a sweet girl suddenly become so…so…scary. Robin was the first to speak. "Usually he would be angry for letting Slade go but he was too stunned at the moment. "Misty?" Misty's eyes turned to him and Robin felt a shiver run through his spine. "You guys go ahead back to the tower, I have to do something first."
The Titans decide to go back like Misty said but Raven stayed behind. "I don't trust her. I'll check with you guys later."
Raven saw Misty going into a dark alley. Raven hid close enough to hear what she was doing but not close enough to see anything "Kellie! What were you thinking?" Misty said softly with a tone of anger in her voice. "I'm sorry but I had to." Another voice came. It was younger. It sounded about fifteen or so.
Misty's voice seemed to soften. "Look, Kellie, I understand why you did it but you still shouldn't have done it! You may be still in-training but you've studied the rule book and you remember most of it. I gave you the quiz on almost everything and you got them all right. But now that you've used your powers, the chances of them finding us is higher." "I'm really sorry, Misty." Kellie's voice came again. "It's okay. But you'll have to be introduced." "When?" came another voice. This one sounded more mature. Perhaps eighteen or nineteen. With some hesitation, Misty answered again, "When the time is right."
By the sound of it, there were four to six people including Misty. Raven wondered if she should bring this up at the Tower. Finally Raven decides to keep it to herself until the time to tell comes.

Misty had once again took care of breakfast. The day was less exciting then the day before, giving the Titans time to do as they pleased. Raven was in her room thinking about the happenings of yesterday. Starfire was trying to read a book entitled the Mediator. (One of my personal favorites).(Cyborg and BB were yelling each other whether to play Ninja-Monkeys 2 or The Ultimate Race. Robin was in his room wrecking his brains over work…again and Misty was also deep in thought about goodness knows what.
With all the racket, Raven couldn't think straight. She came out and yelled at them. "Will you two please keep quiet?" A nearby glass of water shattered. The two boys looked at her and then started fighting again. Raven sighed. Then, Misty spoke up. "If you two can't play nice, you can't play at all." Again, the two looked blankly and Misty and started fighting again.
Misty got up and took the two video games from the table went to a window, opened it and threw it into the water. "What did you do that for?" Cyborg yelled. "Yeah? We were going to play with those." BB agreed. "I told you. If you couldn't play nice, you couldn't play at all. It was the only way I could think of to shut you two up." Misty explained calmly.
Raven was impressed. It was only her third day at the Tower and she already knew how to shut both Cyborg and BB. When, they started fighting again, Misty shot them a look. "Don't make me throw those two out. You can play all you want. Just don't disturb anyone else. Or the entire collection goes into the river."(I have no idea what the water surrounding Titans Tower is. A lake? A river? The Sea?)
The two boys looked at each other. "Um why don't we play Master The Magic?" Beast Boy asked Cyborg. "Good idea." The two boys plopped down on the couch and started to play. Misty snuck a glance towards the two boys and smiled. But Raven saw it.
Suddenly, a tune was heard. It was strange like a thousand nightingales singeing all and once. It was actually beautiful. Misty stood up. "Sorry, I'll have to take this call. Excuse me." Misty fished a cell phone out of her pocket and flipped it open. "Talk to me." Still focused on the conversation, she walked into her room. Raven pressed her ear onto the door to hear better.
"No." Came Misty's voice, "What is he doing with money anyway.(pause) I don't care if he's the richest guy on Earth, he still has to go through like any other agent.(pause) Really? Send Skye in, then.(pause) I know that. Where's Melody? (pause) Then, she'll look after her. Also, remind Melody to send me a full report when it's over. (pause) Thanks, Anna. Keep me updated." Raven walked away from the door just as Misty came out.
Raven disappeared into her room. Fortunately, Misty didn't seem to notice she had been eaves dropping. When, she was sure Misty had went back to the living room, Raven came out of her room and back into the living room with a book pretending she had just got into her room to get something to read. Misty seemed to buy it.
Misty started to hum a soft and strange tune that sounded nothing like Raven had ever heard before. But the others seemed to like it. It was a sweet, soft tune that made Raven feel calm, I mean, really calm all of a sudden. It was like it took all the tense and a heavy load of everyone's shoulders. Robin, who had finally come out of his room for a snack felt all of a sudden relaxed. It was unnatural but it felt so good.
Starfire spoke up after hearing a part of the song, "Friend, where did you learn such a glorious song?" Misty smiled sadly at her. "My mother. She was a wonderful musician. She taught me many songs but this one was my all time favorite and it was the last song she taught me before she, well, passed on." Star's face fell. "Oh. I'm sorry. I did not know.." But before she could finish, Misty cut in. "It's alright Starfire."
"Would you mind singing the rest of the song? I mean, if it won't hurt?" BB asked hopefully. Misty giggled. "Alright, BB. If you guys really want to hear it." Robin, BB and Cyborg yelled at once, "WE WANT TO!" This time, Misty laughed out loud. "Okay. But I'm not exactly a good singer…" "It's okay. We still want to hear it. Besides, your voice doesn't seem bad." Robin told her. Misty sighed. "Okay, here it goes…
When night first spreads her sable wings,
All earthly things to darken,
The woodland choir grows mute and still,
To thy sweet trill to hearken;
Though 'gainst thy breast there lies a thorn,
And thou woeworn art bleeding,
Yet, till the bright day dawns again,
Thou singest, pain unheeding.
And like to thee the helpmeet fair,
Her true-love's rarest treasure,
When 'neath the clouds the sun has fled,
And hope is dead and pleasure,
When all the friends of daylight flee,
Most faithfully she clingeth,
And through the night of pain and wrong,
Her sweetest song she singeth.
Though 'neath the blight of sorrow's smart,
Her woman's heart oft faileth,
She moaneth not but with fond wiles
Her pain in smiles she veileth;
So sings she through the live-long night,
Till hope's bright light appeareth,
Which glittering like a radiant eye,
Through dawn's shy lashes peereth.
Misty sang like a bird, although she was not convinced she did. Her voice rang out like a bell yet was soft and gentle, almost exactly the way she spoke. Rings out like a bell yet it is soft and gentle. It was so strange to Raven that it sent a shiver down her spine but, of course, she did not show her reactions. She put her hood over her face.
"Whoa, Misty. That was amazing." Cyborg stated. Misty smiled, "Yeah, right." "Misty, you give yourself to little credit." Robin told her. "Uh-huh. Like I'd actually believe that. Okay, please go back to whatever you guys were doing before I started singing." Misty scoffed.
Everyone went back to normal. On his way towards his full desk, Robin stopped in his tracks. "That song, it's so familiar..." The song started repleying itself in his head. He suddenly had no mood to stress over Slade at the moment. Hjust wanted to relax. Robin slumped onto his bed and closed his eyes, drifting into a peacefull and deep sleep.
Okay…That was one of the longest chapters I've ever written. The song is a vintage one so it's filled with those kind of words that has an apostrophe. Anyway. In any case please R&R. Oh and suggestions are accepted and I'll see what I can do to include it in my story. Flames on the other hand, is not accepted.
