Chapter 30: Titans in Amity Park

Danny told his two best friends ahead of time they were getting visitors. Usually, they kept their distance from Danny when it came to Starfire. They knew how he clearly cared for her. However, this time he needed help keeping all of them in check. He recalled how it went.

"So, do you guys wanna hang with us?" Danny asked.

Tucker and Sam looked at each other for a minute before looking rather surprised by that.

"You want us to hang out with your girlfriend and her buds?" Tucker said.

Sam stomped on Tucker's foot for saying girlfriend. Thankfully, they were at the table for lunch, so Danny didn't see that.

"I'm sure you and Starfire got this covered." Sam said, trying to hide her jealousy.

"You know…" Danny spoke up in an attempt to win them over. "One of them is a cyborg, literally named Cyborg." Tucker looked interested. "The other is Beast Boy, he's a vegetarian and he can even turn into animals..." Sam looked interested too.

They both looked at each other and smiled. They nod to him.

Danny smiled, happy that things are all set

Saturday

Danny arrived at Titans' Tower. There, he saw Starfire, with Cyborg and Beast Boy behind her and waving at him. Smiling, Danny landed and Starfire flew to him and hugged him.

Once he hugged her back, he spoke up.

"Ready, everyone?" Danny asked.

"You bet!" Beast Boy exclaimed with a smile. "Let's go!"

"Better hurry, we promised Robin we'd be back before night." Cyborg said.

Danny nodded and soon held the jewel in his hand.

Back in Amity Park

Sam and Tucker remained in Danny's room. Sam was pacing while Tucker sat on Danny's bed. Then, in a flash, Danny appeared in his room with three new people.

Holding his hand was his girlfriend, much to Sam's irritation. But holding his and Starfire's shoulders were two they don't recognize. One they saw as a large African-American with a robotic appearance, the other was a green kid with pointy ears.

Danny saw his best friends and smiled as he looked back at the other Titans.

"Guys, these are my best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley."

Beast Boy got a good look at Sam, and he quickly smiled. It almost looks like hearts were in his eyes as he ran to her quickly.

"Sup, I'm Beast Boy!" He said with a flirty smile. "You must be Sam."

It's obvious that he has a crush on her. Looking annoyed, Sam rolled her eyes at his flirtations.

Tucker sees Cyborg and had to walk up to him quickly and saw all the tech on him.

"Sup, I'm Tucker! I always wanted to meet a cyborg! Heck, I always wanted to be a cyborg!" He said with a big grin as he shook the robotic teens hand enthusiastically.

Cyborg looks a bit uncomfortable.

"Uh… okay?"

"So, to where will the day go, Danny?" Starfire asked.

"We could always start with burgers?" Danny asked.

Beast Boy snapped out of his lovesick look to answer Danny. "Just make sure I get something vegetarian!" He goes back to looking at Sam.

Not even him being a vegetarian can make him less annoying to her.

"First thing's first, y'all." Cyborg said as he took out two pairs of rings, one pair silver and the other pair gold. "Beast Boy, take the gold ones." He said as he handed them to his green friend, who took them.

Remembering a time Cyborg used similar rings, Beast Boy brought his fists together and, in a flash, he appeared as a normal human with a tan skin tone, round ears and black hair. His outfit was a purple shirt and black pants. Cyborg did the same, now appearing as a normal looking guy with a black shirt and white pants.

This causes Tucker to drop his jaw and look more than impressed.

"AWESOME!" Tucker admitted.

"Impressive." Sam admitted.

"Thanks." Cyborg said "Now remember, while we're out, I'm Victor and he's Garfield."

"Victor and Garfield?" Sam asked.

"Those are our real names." Beast Boy pointed out.

"Like how I call her Kory?" Danny asked, pointing at Starfire.

Beast Boy looks surprised by this.

"Really? We have trouble pronouncing the whole thing, so we usually just call her Star."

"Anyway, come y'all... hamburgers, here I come!" Cyborg/Victor said with a massive grin.

Tucker heard this and smile since he knew another meat lover when he saw one.

"Okay, I like this guy." Tucker admitted to Danny.

Starfire heard this and smiled.

So far, so good.

At The Nasty Burger

The group of unusual teenagers soon arrived to the Nasty Burger. Starfire is wearing her disguise and Cyborg and Beast Boy were still looking normal for the most part.

"Nasty Burger?" Victor asked out loud.

"Don't let the name fool you, they are good." Danny reassured.

"I don't care what they are called as long as they have some vegetarian options." Beast Boy or Garfield said.

"Don't worry, they have good salads and my personal favorite, the tofu soy melt." Sam said and Beast Boy sent her another dreamy look.

'She's a vegetarian too, awesome!' The changeling thought in a fit of infatuation.

They soon entered the establishment, placed their orders and we're soon seated.

Cyborg or Victor ordered the largest, meatiest thing on the menu, just like Tucker did. Sam and Garfield both ordered the tofu soy melt and Danny had his usual order and Starfire asked for the same, with extra mustard as always.

Soon all of the teens and we're going to officially get to know each other in this social setting.

"So, come on tell us about yourselves." Tucker asked, wanting to get to know the superhero teens."

"Well…" Cyborg said with his mouth full. "I used to be a star athlete, until the accident happened…"

"What exactly happened?" Danny asked.

"I'd… rather not say." Cyborg notable had a less cheerful tone when he said that. "I became this as the only means to save my life." He smiles a bit. "It's not all bad though. I can kick butt, I'm smarter than a normal human, and I got a sonic cannon in my arm." He looked at his hands for a bit. "Even though I can't feel things in hands anymore."

Tucker's smile dropped a bit. He realizes his comments on being a cyborg came off as insensitive.

"What about you?" Sam asked Beast Boy.

"Well… when I was little-"

A sound came from Tucker's pocket. Taking out the source of it, Tucker looked upset.

"Oh, not again..." Tucker grumbled as he shook his PDA.

"What is wrong?" Starfire asked.

"Nothing, it's just that my PDA is acting all wonky again." Tucker grumble as it is still static-y.

"Wonky?" Garfield asked.

"He means that it's junk." Sam said.

Victor heard this.

"Mind if I take a look?" Victor asked.

Tucker was confused but handed the PDA over to the older teen. Suddenly, he pulled out a screw driver and started working on the PDA. Tucker looked surprised and Starfire and BB looked like they were used to this sort of thing. Danny and Sam just exchanged looks of confusion.

A few moments later, Victor/Cyborg handed over the PDA to Tucker which is now working again.

'Here, it should work right now." He said.

Tucker was amazed that he saw that it was working again, then at the older teen in almost admiration.

"Dude, how?" Tucker asked.

"It wasn't hard, just had to crosswise some circuits, tighten a few things and it was all set... I really hate seeing good technology go to waste..." Cyborg said, thinking Tucker was referring to how he fixed his PDA.

He wasn't, he was asking how he is how he is. Cyborg is practically what he dreams to be. So in involved in tech and he actually looks pretty buff, even as a robot.

"I think you have just become my idol." Tucker said to himself and Danny chuckled, happy to see that they are getting along.

"Hey, look at this!" An obnoxious voice called out. One belonging to someone most of the teens recognize and greatly dislike. It was Dash Baxter, walking up with his fellow jocks. "The losers are all gathered together."

"What do you want now, Dash?" Danny groaned.

"Besides be annoying to us." Sam snapped.

This got Dash annoyed, causing him to grab Danny by the collar and lift him up.

"You better make her take that back!" Dash said. "Before your face gets a swirly!"

Before Sam or Starfire could get up, Cyborg slowly rises and faces Dash.

"Put my friend down… now." He says with a tranquil, yet clearly angry, voice.

Smug and overconfident, he starts to turn to look at his opponent.

"Or wh- OH MY GOSH!"

To Dash's horror, this person who spoke to him is taller and more muscular than him. Cyborg was scowling down at him, looking like he was going to tear Dash apart.

"Like I said… but him down."

Dash scoffs, letting Danny go so he can throw a punch.

"Yeah right! Wailing losers is my favorite hobby!"

He throws a punch at Cyborg's chest. One that breaks his hand.

"OWWW!"

To the horror of his teammates, Dash pulls his hand back and holds it to his chest.

"What the heck?!"

Cyborg grabbed Dash by the collar and pulls him in. He gives Danny's bully a look like he was intending to hurt him.

"Maybe you should find a new hobby." He didn't say that as a suggestion despite the wording, it was clearly a threat.

Gulping, Dash nodded. Once he was let go, he and his teammates ran for it.

Danny, Sam and Tucker smiled at this.

"Finally." Sam said. "A jock on our side."

Danny's ghost sense just went off.

CRASH!

The sounds of crashes and people screaming reach their ears from the outside. Danny and the others ran to the source of the noise as people have run as far away as possible.

Danny glared when he saw who was causing trouble this time.

"YOU AGAIN! What do you want this time, Skulker?" Danny shouted when he saw his ghostly enemy.

"Oh the usual, the pelt of you and maybe your alien girlfriend as soon as I find her..." Skulker said casually, apparently being fooled by Starfire's disguise too.

Danny glared as he made sure no civilians were around, changed forms and soon went into the sky to deal with his enemy.

Starfire sent a harsh glare at the metallic foe.

"He is in need of our assistance." Starfire said to her teammates.

"She's right, he ain't the only hero here, come on Star, BB! Let's show this place just what the Teen Titans is all about!" Cyborg ordered and the other heroes nodded.

Danny flew up and punched Skulker with enough force to send him higher up.

"Stay away from Starfire!" Danny demanded.

Skulker pulls out a device from his belt that shocks Danny once he got too close.

"AAAHHHH!"

The shock forces Danny back into human form and he falls to the ground.

"DANNY!" Sam and Tucker shouted in horror.

However, quickly, Starfire flew in and saved him, holding him like a bride.

Danny smiled at her.

"We are so getting ice cream after this." Danny said, causing a smile on her pretty face.

"Ah… the Tamarnean girl. Perfect."

"What did you do to him, villain?" Starfire demanded.

Skulker holds up a device Danny was quite familiar with, it was used by his archenemy once.

"I borrowed this from a mutual friend of ours. It shorts out his powers for 3 hours. So he can't save you this time." Skulker said with a grin. Suddenly, a blue blast hits the Plasmius Maximus, destroying it, much to Skulker's shock and anger. "What?! That was a rental! Who fired that?!"

"That'd be us!" Cyborg said as he and Beast Boy, who transforms into a gorilla, stand ready for a fight.

Starfire lands and gets Danny on his feet.

"Leave this to us, Danny." She insisted.

Skulker saw Starfire and pulled out his net launcher.

"Your pretty head is mine, alien!"

Once the net is fired, Beast Boy in front of Starfire and transformed into an elephant. He's so big that the net only wraps around one leg. To get it off him, Beast Boy turns into a hummingbird and flies out of it.

"A shapeshifter?!" Skulker said in surprised. "Fascinating, this will be an exciting hunt!"

"Hunt this!" Cyborg blasts Skulker down, sending him falling down. "Booyah!"

Skulker manages to stop himself and shake his head to snap out of it. Once he does, he sees a pterodactyl flies to him, swinging its tail and sending him into the ground. Beast Boy then shifts from the prehistoric aerial reptile to a rhino, which lands on Skulker's back.

This was not enough to put him down, causing Skulker to get up, throwing Beast Boy off.

"My turn!" Starfire shouted while flying to her opponent.

She punches him with plenty of force to send his head off.

"WHOA!" Beast Boy and Cyborg shout in surprise.

"Don't worry…" Danny said. "The real Skulker is in the head."

As Danny said, the real Skulker flies out of the head. Seeing himself clearly overpowered by these three, he flies off.

"Ah yeah!" Cyborg shouts in praise. "Even in another dimension, the Teen Titans rock!"

"Yeah!" Beast Boy cheers with him.

"Glorious!" Starfire says while she hugs Danny in celebration.

She hugs him lightly so that it doesn't hurt him, and so he can hug her back.

Tucker raises a fist with a big grin.

"These guys are awesome, huh Sam?"

Sam doesn't answer. She instead glares at Starfire getting cozy with Danny.

In the universe of the Teen Titans, Val-Yor's ship flies through space. Having long since healed from the injuries Danny dealt him, he gets a message.

"Val-Yor here, what's your message?"

"Are you familiar with the Tamaranean girl on Earth?" The voice from the other side said, one of the voices from the Amazo prototype's destruction.

"Yeah… I know that troq." Val-Yor responded bitterly. "And her troq-loving friends."

"I have a job for you." He said. "Help us and we will aid you in restoring your honor on Vernathia… what do you say?"

Val-Yor does smile when he thinks about it, but he does consider that this may be too good to be true.

"Who is this, exactly?"

"Is it really more important than restoring your honor?"

Long after that battle with Skulker that Danny, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Sam and Tucker were in the lab and Danny was giving the grand tour. Cyborg was mildly impressed with the technology, especially the portal and Beast Boy had to be reminded not to touch anything.

"Booyah! Your folks actually have their own portal to another dimension right here?" Cyborg said as he eyed the ghost portal with interest.

"Yeah, they have been working on it since before me and my sister were born. Anyway, let's be quick, my folks could be back any minute." Danny said as he kept guard.

"They do not know about us being guests." Starfire said.

"They don't even know I've been out of town this week, much less out of the dimension. Or that my girlfriend is an alien from another dimension." Danny sighed.

Starfire sent him a sympathetic look, knowing that Danny is still hiding his powers from his parents. It must be hard to be both a hero and keep such a secret from his own parents.

CRASH!

"I said don't touch anything!" Danny shouted at Beast Boy after he knocked over some boxes.

"It wasn't me!" Beast Boy said.

Cyborg sighed. He then decided to get Danny off of Beast Boy's clumsiness.

"So, what are all these on the table?"

"Some of the stuff that saved my bacon a few times." Danny admitted. "The Fenton Thermos, which captures ghosts. The Ghost Gloves, which lets a normal human punch a ghost or increases your fist's strength. The Boo-Merang, which locks on to a unique ghost signal."

This is what the robotic man said.

"All in all, your folks made some pretty quality stuff. Though I'd change the name on some of them." Cyborg said and Danny smiled at that.

It was rare to see someone outside his immediate circle to find his folks stuff impressive instead of freaky. It was kind of nice.

Danny smiled and turned his head, only to frown when he saw what Beast Boy was up to now.

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!" Danny shouted and Beast Boy flinched as he tried to get a closer look to the portal.

Unfortunately, the changeling jumped into another device, the Fenton Ghost Catcher and knocked it down... on top of Danny.

"Danny!" Sam and Tucker shouted as they saw their friend go through the device and Starfire got worried.

"Is he alright?" Starfire asked in worry when a flash of light came.

Once it was gone, she blinked when she now saw two Danny's in the room. One human Danny and one ghost Danny. Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy were confused, while Sam and Tucker look exasperated more than anything.

"Not again..." Sam groaned.

Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at the two Danny's who finally came too.

'What is all this?" Cyborg asked, once out of shock.

"Two of my darlings?" Starfire said, not in shock but in…interest.

It was then that the two Danny's finally snapped out of their own shock.

"AT LAST! I AM A FULL TIME HERO ONCE MORE!" Super Danny shouted as he posed dramatically, much to the confusion of Starfire and her fellow Titans.

"Yeah… sure… whatever… Is there anything good to eat around here?" Fun Danny asked in disinterest and Sam groaned.

'What's wrong with them?" Beast Boy asked.

"Thanks to you, Danny is split up again." Sam said.

"Pardon? What do you mean by "again"?" 'Starfire asked.

"See? Last time this happened, Danny went through the Ghost Catcher, he split his human and ghost halves. I guess because his dad did some tinkering with it since making the thing, it split Danny into two halves of his personality." Tucker started explaining. "Human Danny is fun loving but a total slob. Ghost Danny is a dedicated hero but too serious."

Starfire was confused once it was all over, only to blink when the two Danny's surrounded here. Both of them smiled at her.

"Come my beauteous extraterrestrial heroine, come join me in my quest to deliver justice." Super Danny said dramatically to Starfire as he got on his knee and took her hand, while the others looked bewildered and Sam looked away in jealousy.

Fun Danny however placed his arm on the wall where Starfire was and had a flirtatious look on his face.

"Don't listen to him, babe…why don't you come and hang out with me?" Fun Danny said suggestively as he eyed Starfire with interest.

Super Danny, however frowned and confronted it about it.

"I do believe that I was speaking to her first..." Super Danny said to his doppelganger, who glared at him.

"Well, I am talking to her right now, so why don't you go save a cat from a tree or something, I'm busy." Fun Danny said as he was about to put the moves on the alien girl again, only to be blocked by his double.

Needless to say, he wasn't amuse. Everyone saw this. Starfire suddenly started giggling while Sam gritted her teeth in jealousy, while the others looked confused.

"I saw her first!" Fun Danny said.

"We are the same person, therefore, we both saw her at precisely the same time and even so… why would she choose the average Joe human when she can have the duly deputize protector of Amity Park?" Super Danny said in his hero voice, though there was some edge to it.

"Because at least I don't sound like I stole all my lines from a cheesy comic book!" Fun Danny said before the two Danny's began arguing over who should get Starfire

The alien princess did nothing to stop it.

"So, I'm confused, does this mean Starfire has two boyfriends now?" Beast Boy asked Cyborg, who shrugged in confusion as they continued to watch the two Danny's fight over the alien heroine, who seemed to enjoy the extra attention more than anything.

"Two darlings fighting over me. What a glorious day!" Starfire said as she was blushing and had a silly grin on her face while Sam continued to glare daggers at her.

Thank you Flower Princess11 for the scene suggestions.

I did say Val-Yor would be making a comeback. What could he be hired to do by our mysterious villains?

Also, looks like Starfire is going on a double date with both Danny's next time.

How's that gonna work out?
