I stared at the big building. "So this is what he meant by 'a big T'". It was a huge T shaped building sitting on a small island with a beautiful view. I took a deep breath and shakily knocked on the door. Who to open the door, none other than Beast Freak. He glared at me. "Paige." I glared back. "Beast Boy." "Munchkin." "Freak." We glared at each other until Starfire came to the door. "Friend Paige!" I smiled at her. "Hi Starfire!"
I walked into the building, staring in awe at everything. I saw the other 3 Titans sitting on a huge couch. I felt kind of awkward in their house, so I just sat down at the couch with the others. Robin looked at me and then stood up. "So…Paige. I see you have powers. What exactly are they?" I understood. He was playing 20 questions with me. "Well, I can control all the elements." Everybody stared at me, apparently not knowing what they were. "Water, air, earth, and fire. The elements." Everybody understood. I rolled my eyes. Robin continued. "So… how old are you?" I felt humiliated. I was 12 and they were probably 16 to 18 years old. I looked away. Through gritted teeth I said "12. I'm 12 years old." This was more than 20 questions, this was an interview! Was he asking me to be a Titan? Cyborg spoke up. "12? You're kind of… short for your age aren't you?" I blushed, even more humiliated. "Yes. I'm a little short for my age you could say."
Beast Boy stuck his tongue out at me. "Tiny dwarf! Tiny dwarf!" I glared at him, ready to shoot a fireball at him. "Well, you're a green weirdo! Green weirdo, green weirdo!" At that, Beast Boy morphed into a lion, attempting to terrify me. I blinked. He roared at me, sending my hair blowing in all directions. I blinked again. He morphed into an elephant and grabbed me with his trunk. I rolled my eyes with a bored expression on my face. I held up my pointer finger, pointed it at him, and sent fire flaming towards his butt. It landed right on target, and I grinned. He dropped me onto the ground, morphed back to human, and started racing around the building screaming.
I smiled proudly while all the others looked shocked, and then appeared bored by the repeated pattern of Beast Boy screaming running around in circles, butt on fire. Raven, on the other hand, was grinning and started snickering. She walked over to me and held her hand out for a high five. I slapped her hand and we winked at each other as Beast Boy, still screaming, ran out the door and jumped into the water outside. Raven and I both started to giggle uncontrollably.
Robin looked at me, and I quickly settled down, suddenly ashamed at what I'd done. "So Paige, anything else… important?" I thought about it. He would like to know about my siblings. "Well, I have siblings. 2 girls and 2 boys. They're about your age, 16." Robin nodded his head. "Well, do they also have powers?" I took a deep breath and nodded my head. "Yes. They also have powers, like mine. Anna controls air, Felix controls fire, Wendy controls water, and Eric controls earth. Oh, and another thing you probably need to know, they're… not exactly the good guys." Cyborg looked at me, confused. "You mean, they're evil, and you're the only good one? How exactly…?" I looked away.
"Our parents died when we were little, and I was the last person to see them, so my siblings thought it was all my fault. They had an advantage since they were older and more powerful than me. They would always torture me with their powers, and they were so mean and cruel. They eventually became bored with me, and then moved on to our town. They're still angry about our parents' death, and I'm afraid they became permanently evil.
And I need your help, because they're really strong, and you'll need all the power you have." "You mean, they were not evil to start with?" I glanced at Starfire. "No. Before our parents died, they were the best siblings in the world. They would always help me with my powers, since I had the same powers as they did, and we would have the best of times. We played with each other, we played games with our powers, oh, it was so much fun. Then my parents died." A tear trickled down my cheek, but I didn't care.
Robin put his hand on my shoulder. "Paige, you need our help. So for now, you're on the team." He handed me a small device. "A communicator, so you can keep in touch." A communicator. I looked at it. Wow. I was on the team! I was a Teen Titan! I looked at Raven, who smiled at me and winked. I smiled back. I looked at Beast Jerk, who's jaw dropped and he looked like he was swearing at me silently. I stuck my tongue out at him. He looked like he was prepared to strangle me. I just pointed at myself innocently with an angelic look on my face, like I was clueless, and then laughed.
