I do not own the Teen Titans or anything related to them, however I do own this story and all of the non-original characters except for Isis, who I have been given permission to use by a friend of mine and all are copywrited. This means you can not copy the story or any of the characters or use them without permission from their original owners. Check out the mini-fics by my friend, Starfire Fury, called Teen Titans: Alpha Humor, they're mini-fics about these characters and they're really good and absolutely hilarious, so go read them!
This fic was inspired by a song I wrote for a song fic, as I started writing it though I decided I could expand it so much more, so I made it into a fic in its own right. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying writing it :)
Teen Titans: The Alpha Five: Undercover admission
School Spirit
"THEY WANT US TO DO WHAT!" Isis fumed as the Titans sat in the common room. Phoenix had received a package, which they'd just opened. It was a large cardboard box and inside she'd found a letter, addressed to: The Titans Alpha. She'd opened it and read it aloud, the contents of said letter caused Isis' displeasure.
"They want us to go undercover at a boarding school." Phoenix repeated in a calm, monotonous voice that sounded bored.
"I never did school and now they expect me to do school spirit! NUH HUH! NO WAY!"
"Did I mention the boarding school was in Rome?" Phoenix asked quietly. The Titans all looked at her.
"Rome? As in the Italian Rome? As in the ancient city of the Roman Empire and capital of the pizza making empire?" Zeru asked.
"How many other Romes do you know?" Isis asked sarcastically.
"Please say you've accepted the mission Phoe!" Zeru beamed excitedly, ignoring Isis and her remark.
"I had no choice. The mayor won't let anyone else take the mission so Dad, Mom and the other Professors say we have to go."
"What is the exact mission Phoe?" Taiyou asked and Phoenix reread the letter aloud;
"Dear Titans Alpha,
This mission is of extreme urgency, hence the use of direct Titan Academy to Titan Team mail.
The Mayor's daughter, Dana Simes, has been receiving alarming letters posted under her dormitory door. The mayor has explicitly requested your presence on the mission and will accept no one else.
You will all be admitted to the International Academy of Rome, where you will go undercover as students in Dana's year so that you will be able to protect her without causing alarm.
Inside this box you will find envelopes addressed to each of you, with the 'persona' of your undercover character, there are also enough uniforms for all of you, school books and all other equipment you will need for the mission.
A Titans Academy jet will arrive at 11:00AM tomorrow to collect you and take you to the airport, you will receive more information and then you will board a flight to Rome.
Good Luck Titans.
The Professors of Titans Academy."
"So we have to pretend to be other people, we can't just be ourselves?"
"That's what you normally do when you're undercover Zeru." Isis replied sarcastically. While Zeru glared, Li nodded.
"Yeah, plus I'm guessing this is a 'normal school'." Li said, making quote marks in the air with his fingers. "So we can't be ourselves, we have to pretend to be your 'average' teenagers."
"I don't care as long as we get to go to Rome. So what's in this box anyway?" Zeru said, riffling through the box. "Well here are those envelopes they were on about." He pulled out five, perfectly white envelopes, each with one of their names on it. He handed them out and all of the Titans looked suddenly apprehensive.
"Well go on then Li, open yours." Zeru said, trying to break the atmosphere.
"No, you open yours."
"No, no, you open yours."
"No, I won't, you open yours."
"No, I insist-"
"Oh for God's sake, I'll open mine." Taiyou interrupted, running his finger under the seal to open it and pulling out the paper inside. He scanned it, his face became fixed and he went slightly pale.
"What does it say Taiyou?" Phoenix asked and he looked up. He snapped out of his concentrated trance and read the letter aloud;
"Dear Taiyou Hikari,
You have been enrolled under your real name, due to the fact that it isn't too unusual. You have also been appointed the position of prefect, due to this you will find a prefect badge enclosed." Zeru burst out laughing as Taiyou tipped the golden prefect badge out onto his hand.
"You're a prefect! The lamest of the lame!" Taiyou glared.
"Or perhaps I'm just more responsible than you." Zeru carried on laughing.
"Nah, I prefer my theory." Taiyou scowled.
"It won't be that bad." Phoenix said, trying to defuse the situation as she opened her own envelope.
"Dear Phoenix Grayson,
It has been decided that you will be enrolled under a false name, due to the fact that your real name is highly unusual, your mission name is therefore Sarah Grayson. It has been circulated at the Academy that you have starred in many plays and therefore it is highly hoped by the drama and music departments that you take part in the school production. We have done this as Dana is performing in the production and you are needed to keep an eye on her." Phoenix looked slightly nervous. "They better not make me sing." She muttered as Li opened his own envelope and began to read.
"Dear Li Levitt,
You have been enrolled under your real name, due to the fact that it isn't too unusual. You are to be a member of the computer club, this will mean you have access to all the technical equipment within the school, we will also include a full network pass for you so you can access the security cameras and surveillance systems." Zeru started laughing again.
"You're a computer geek!" He clutched his side as he laughed and Li went bright red.
"Well who're you pretending to be?" He retorted tartly and Zeru opened his envelope still laughing; that was until he read his letter.
"Go on, what does it say?" Zeru scowled before reading his letter aloud;
"Dear Zeru Madison,
You have been enrolled under the name Zack Madison as it was decided that Zeru may be slightly too unusual. You will be expected to take part in the school play as you are failing French and need the extra credit." Li and Taiyou started sniggering. "What's wrong with my name anyway?"
"Cheer up Zeru, at least you won't have to pretend as much as the rest of us, you don't need to act stupid." Isis gloated and Zeru glared.
"Well go on then Frosty, what does yours say?" Isis raised a brow at him before opening her own envelope. Her eyes widened as she read it and then she shook her head violently, causing her hair to whip around, almost catching Zeru in the eye.
"NO WAY!" She seethed as Zeru and Li tried to read over her shoulders to no avail.
"What does it say Isis?" Phoenix asked.
"I'm not doing it! I won't!"
"What does it say Isis?" Phoenix repeated and Isis handed her the letter, still muttering words of disgust.
"Dear Miss Henning," Isis mentally thanked the Professors for at least not putting her real name. "Due to your preferred name and real name both being highly unusual, you have been enrolled under the name Isabelle Henning. You have a guaranteed place on the cheerleading squad and due to your performing abilities; you will be expected to take part in the school production with Phoenix and Zeru so that you can keep an eye on Dana. It is also required that you dye your hair, due to the fact that the natural colour may alarm the students and raise suspicions." Li and Zeru started laughing.
"You a cheerleader?" Zeru asked incredulously, but Isis glared at him. "Not that you won't make a very nice cheerleader." He added hastily and Isis scowled.
"For one, I am not dying my hair and two, I'm not doing it, I won't! I am not taking part in this mission!"
"Hey look Icy," Li said, pointing into the box,
"It's blonde hair dye!" Zeru grinned.
Isis screamed.
Dunh, dunh, duuuuuhn! Lol, this chapter was so fun to write. Anyway, next chapter, will the Titans persuae Isis to go on the mission? Will she actually be a cheerleader? Will she actually dye her hair blonde? Stay tuned to find out!
Oh yeah, rate and review if you like and read my other fics and my friend StarFire Fury's fics, especially her Titans Alpha Humor ones because they're hillarious! Anyway, toodles!
