Jen: Hey, guys. Back with chapter two! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. I also don't own the Teen Titans Go! comic book issue #4, where Starfire and Robin go out on a date, entitled "Love Hurts." WHY! I want that issue soooo bad! Why can't I have it? Why? Erm…you're not still reading this, are you?
Personal Assistants?

Robin hung up his communicator and put it back on his belt. Boy, were the rest of the Titans going to be surprised when they saw the presents Mr. Hearting had gotten them…

Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire arrived at City Hall and got out of the T-car. The four teens walked up the marble staircase to some really big doors. Cyborg pushed them open. Before the Titans could even go inside the building, Elda came scurrying out.
"Oh, thank heavens you're here!" Elda said, "Come. Mr. Hearting's office in on the third floor. We have to hurry!"
Elda pushed the Titans into an elevator that she got into as well. She pushed a button that had the number three on it and the elevator began to move.

Robin stood outside the mayor's office. Man, that guy had a temper! How the heck did he get to be mayor?
Robin saw Elda and the Titans walking towards him.
"Robin!" Starfire flew over to him, "I am eager to see these gifts Mr. Hearting wishes to bestow upon us!"
"Yeah!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Beast Boy, please keep your voice down." Elda said tersely.
"Sorry."
Elda gave Beast Boy a look before continuing, "Titans, Mr. Hearting is in his office." The Titans stared at her, "Go on. You mustn't keep him waiting."
Robin led the Titans through the big oak doors and into Mr. Hearting's office.
Cyborg whistled, "This is an expensive room."
"You like?" The Titans jumped at the mayor's voice.
"Uh, yeah. Mr. Hearting, it's nice." Cyborg said politely.
"Dude!" Beast Boy said, "You have presents for us?"
Mr. Hearting nodded and pointed to the far end of his office.
The Titans saw a group of teenagers they weren't aware were in the room. Beast Boy looked around for brightly wrapped boxes, but found none.
"Um…" Raven said, "You're giving us…people?"
"In a sense." Mr. Hearting said, "Titans, meet you're new personal assistants!"
"So, I take it there's not a moped behind one of these people?" Beast Boy asked.
"Of course not." Mr. Hearting said, "These five individuals were chosen out of thousands of teenagers who auditioned to assist you. They will manage your schedule, sort through fan mail, work on cases with you, and things of the like."
"Uh…thanks?" Cyborg said.
"What a wondrous gift!" Starfire said with excitement, "You are thanked!"
Mr. Hearting smiled, "You are welcomed. Your personal assistants will assist all of you, but each will especially assist one of you in particular. Now, to assign them!"
Mr. Hearting sifted through some papers on his desk. He pulled out a blue piece of paper, "Boris Dodger, please step forward."
A bulky guy stepped away from the line. Boris had black hair, which he had slicked back with grease, and brown eyes. His nose was wide and he wore a blue jumpsuit. He looked more like a car mechanic than a personal assistant.
"Mr. Dodger is an expert in mechanics." Mr. Hearting said, "He can especially assist you with any of your rockets, cars, or submarines. Mr. Dodger is to be Mr. Cyborg's assistant."
Boris stepped over to Cyborg, "Hey, man." He had a deep voice.
"Yo, Boris," Cyborg said, "Cool to meet you."
"Yeah."
Mr. Hearting cleared his throat, "Emily Sweet."
A cute girl with blonde hair stepped forward. Her blue eyes looked at the Titans with curiosity. Emily wore tight, white petal pushers with a light blue spaghetti-strapped shirt. Her smile lived up to her name.
Beast Boy brightened up considerably. Raven didn't seem amused.
"Miss Sweet is in charge of your image. How the public sees you. She will also help with public relations." Mr. Hearting said, "Miss Sweet will go to Mr. Beast Boy."
"YES!" Beast Boy yelled.
Emily walked over to him, "Hi, I'm…oh, well I suppose you already know my name." She giggled.
Raven glared.
"Next," Mr. Hearting said, "Michel Former."
A tall, hansom boy stepped out. Michel had messy brown hair and blue eyes. He wore baggy pants and a loose fitting shirt. Starfire smiled when she saw him.
No one saw Robin's worried look.
"Mr. Former will have the meager task of sorting through fan mail. He'll dispose of any inappropriate letters, but more importantly he will be organizing your work-out routines and physical fitness schedules. Mr. Former has been assigned to Miss Starfire."
Robin's eyes widened.
Michel walked to Starfire and looked her up and down.
"Michel Former, I am happy to meet you!" Starfire extended her hand.
Michel was taller than she was. That bothered Robin.
Michel took her hand and, instead of shaking it, spun her around, "Happy to meet you, too." He said when he had finished spinning her, "Sweetheart."
Starfire blushed.
Robin growled, "Mr. Hearting? Does Mr. Former have to go with Starfire." He cringed, "I'm sure Raven would be happy to…"
"Please, Mr. Robin." Robin could feel Mr. Hearting's temper rising, "I selected Mr. Former to go with Miss Starfire. Trust my judgment."
Robin didn't want Mr. Hearting to get angry again, so he nodded and began glaring at Michel.
"Bambi Babs." Mr. Hearting said.
A short girl took a step forward. Bambi had put her brown hair up in high pigtails. She wore a pink tank top with pink shorts. And when I say shorts, I mean shorts. She had on white tennis shoes. She winked one of her chestnut eyes at Robin, who was to busy scowling to notice.
"Miss Babs is to manage your diet. Many witnesses say you five have been dining at the local Pizza Parlor. This simply cannot do. Miss Babs will be Miss Raven's assistant."
Raven gave the mayor a don't-give-me-that-crap look. Mr. Hearting smiled, blissfully unaware.
Raven looked at Bambi, then at the mayor, "You're kidding."
Mr. Hearting shook his head and Bambi skipped over to Raven. She threw her arms around the Goth.
"I am, like, so happy I get to work for you!" Bambi sounded like a valley girl.
Raven pushed her off, "Rule number one: never touch me."
"Oh, Ravie!" She playfully hit Raven on the shoulder and giggled, "You are, like, so funny."
The lights flickered. Raven took a deep breath and they returned back to normal.
"Moving on," Mr. Hearting said, "Alyssa Davidson."
A girl with glasses stepped forward. Alyssa's black hair was pulled back into a loose, low ponytail. Her green eyes studied each of the Titans intently. She wore black pants and a lime green sweater over a shirt the same color.
"Miss Davidson…"
"Ms. Davidson." Alyssa corrected. "You cannot tell if a man is married by 'Mr.', so I do not believe a woman should have to divulge such information."
"Quite right. I respect that. Ms. Davidson is a criminal profiler. She will tell you certain characteristics a thief or madman might have simply by examining the crime. She will also assist Miss Sweet in public relations. By process of elimination," Mr. Hearting said, "I am sure you know that Ms. Davidson will go to Mr. Robin."
Alyssa walked to Robin and shook his hand firmly, "Robin of the Teen Titans. A pleasure."
"Likewise." Robin said quickly and turned back to the mayor, "Mr. Hearting, these gifts are…interesting. But what if…"
Robin stopped when the phone rang.
Mr. Hearting's face turned red in rage, "This had better be important." He muttered and answered the phone, "What?" He paused and listened, "Why in God's name would I be concerned that I wasn't invited to a charity ball!" He paused again to listen, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN LAURA RAVEL WAS INVITED!" The mayor yelled.
Laura Ravel was the mayor of Gotham City and Mr. Hearting's ex-wife. Ever since they split up they always wanted their city to be better than the other's. Their three-year-long feud was well know throughout both cities.
"Do what you can, Mrs. Richards." Mr. Hearting said into the phone, "Of course I'll be there…I know. In ten minutes." He hung up the phone and turned towards the Titans, "You must excuse me Titans. Urgent business." With that, he left.
Everyone stood in silence for awhile.
Alyssa cleared her throat, "Well," She said, adjusting her glasses, "All of our luggage is in a separate room." She turned to face Robin, "We'll just get that and then we can discuss our methods of transportation, living space, and other things vital to a healthy work environment."
"Sounds cool." Michel said, "Later Star." He winked at the young redhead.
Robin's teeth clenched.
"Indeed." Alyssa said raising a brow, "Come along."
Boris, Emily, Michel, and Bambi followed Alyssa out the big oak doors.
As soon as they shut, Starfire threw her arms around Robin, "Oh, Robin! This will be most fun! I am sure the Michel Former will make a wonderful assistant!"
"Um, yeah." Robin said, "Star, about that…"
"ROBIN!" Beast Boy yelled as he tackled the Boy Wonder to the ground, "Yes! Yes! Yes! How can I thank you buddy! You're awesome dude!" BB gave Robin a noogie before Robin pushed him off.
"Uh…you're welcome. But…"
"Azarath, metrion, zinthos!"
A wave of black energy pushed Beast Boy to the other side of the room.
"What were you thinking?" Raven asked slowly in a threatening tone, "Oh, wait. Let me answer that for you. You weren't thinking, Robin."
"I…"
"You are going to let five new people into our home." Raven said, "Five new people who we know nothing about. Five new people who are going to assist us with crimes. Five new people who soon will know all of our strengths and weaknesses. Five new people who could easily betray us and cause our downfall. Am I correct?"
"Um…yes?"
Raven shook her head and rubbed her temples.
"I gotta go with Raven on this one." Cyborg said, "We haven't exactly had the best luck with taking in other teens."
"Aw, c'mon you guys." Beast Boy (who was now on the other side of the room) said, "It'll be different this time."
"Yes, it'll be different this time." Raven muttered, "This time there are five liars. Not just one blonde little…"
"Shut-up Raven!" Beast Boy yelled.
Raven stared at him for a minute, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me." He said seriously, "Don't go talking like that about her."
"I have every right to talk about Terra in any way I want." Raven said.
"Whoa, guys." Cy said, "Take it easy."
"No…you…don't." Beast Boy challenged.
Raven made a sound of disgust, "Beast Boy, she tried to kill you! How can you sit here and say…?"
"No!" Beast Boy cried, "Terra never wanted to kill me! She was my friend!"
"Please," Starfire said, "Friends…"
"She threw you down a canyon!" Raven said, "You-you could've…she…I…" Raven trailed off as if unsure of what to say.
The room fell silent as the doors swung open, revealing the Titans' new assistants fully packed and ready to go.
