AND YOU, AOL LIMITED EDITION! SOOO SLOW! AHHHHH! Heh, heh, srry bout that one…anyway), she was the only person to review to my other story besides me! HAHA! And Lagnevar is just her name spelled backwards. Ok, that's all! Well, not really, just gonna warn u that there are lotsa author's notes in this one… ok, that's really all, I promise.

Chapter Thirteen: Off the Deep End
The Titans, along with Shadow and Nightmare, decided that they had earned a celebratory pizza outing.
After all, even Robin was all for it, and as he put it, "We would normally take you guys back to the Tower and put you through combat practice, to see you in action, but we just saw that, didn't we?"
So off to the pizza place they went. Shadow said she'd pay, and no one objected.
The seven of them entered the pizza place, and went to the Titans' usual table. (I'm talking about the one with the deck that looks like a slice of pepperoni pizza that they go to in Final Exam and that BB takes Terra grrr… so much hate for that dumb blonde… to in Things Change)
The seven super-powered people (that sounds lame, but I'm not gonna say teens, Shadow and Nightmare are only twelve, but the others don't know that… yet…) sat around and talked as they waited for the pizza to come.
However, they were suddenly interrupted when the song "Holiday" came out of nowhere…
I say, hey!
Hear the sound of the pouring rain…
Comin' down like an Armageddon flame…
Suddenly, Nightmare seemed to figure out what was happening, and pulled a cell phone out of her pocket. It wasn't in great shape; she seemed to have painted stuff onto it.
In one smooth motion, she flipped it open, looked at the screen, and held it up to her ear, saying, "Yeah?"
A very, very, loud voice came out of it… the phone was apparently on speaker.
"WE NEED BACK UP! LIKE, NOW!" was all that the voice on the other end said.
Apparently not expecting such a loud noise, Nightmare fell backward out of her chair with a squeak of "SPEAKERPHONE!"
As if this happened all the time, Shadow grabbed the phone while it was still in midair, pressed a button (turning off the speaker, of course!) and held it up to her ear, saying, "Where are you guys!"
She paused, listening carefully. Then, "But, how'd you get there?"
Another pause.
"YOU WHAT?" she yelped. "NO, WE CANNOT BE THERE IMMEDIATELY, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING--"
There was another pause, as a look of disgust came over Shadow's face.
"YEAH, SO WHAT IF THIS VERY IMPORTANT MEETING IS TAKING PLACE AT A PIZZA PARLOR?"
The look of disgust on her face deepened.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING AT, DOING WHAT YOU DID, NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING TO HAPPEN, AND THEN CALLING US, ASKING FOR HELP AND ACCUSING US OF--"
There was one final pause, and Shadow seemed to have lost it.
"FINE! WE'LL BE THERE, BUT YOU SERIOUSLY--"
She flipped the phone closed and passed it back to Nightmare, who was getting up and brushing off her outfit. (btw, did I ever give y'all a good description of them in their super-hero garb? Ah, I have apparently failed there… ok, expect one eventually…)
"I'm really, really sorry, but we're going to have to leave," said Shadow. "OUr two idiot friends have come by a… erm, spot of trouble, and they need our help."
"Aww… not again," Nightmare groaned. "They didn't…"
"Yes, they did, as a matter of fact, I can't believe the nerve of those two…" Shadow growled.
"Well, we best be going… we'll, um, see you later," said Nightmare, addressing the Titans.
Nightmare saluted Robin, and without further ado, went over (instead of using the door like a normal freak) and jumped off the deck of the pizza place.
Shadow was about to follow her, when Robin yelled, "Wait!"
Shadow turned back, one leg already over the railing. "Oh, yeah… I said I'd pay for pizza!" she said, running back over and slapping two twenties on the table. "Ok, I'm gonna go now--" she said, gesturing to the ledge.
"No-- wait, what I wanted to do was to give you these," said Robin, shoving two communicators into her hand. "We'll be in touch."
"'Kay," said Shadow, nodding.
She ran over and jumped off the side just like Nightmare.
"They're off the deep end…" muttered Raven as Robin sat back down
