What up readers! Wow, I can't believe I've made it this far. Well, good thing for everyone who's reading this story, I won't be as busy as I've been over the past week. (Sigh) Let me tell ya, the first week of High School has been hecktic. Melissa, Ana, Alejandra, and Corey know what I'm talking about. So many papers to sign and so many books to carry and so many supplies to buy. It's like the school thinks we're made out of money! Well, enough about me complaining about the school, let's get this chapter started! Here it is! The ninth chapter! Booyah!

"Hey Chris, are you down here?" Robin asked as he walked in the basement and found Chris lying on the ground with a couple of boxes filled with junk surrounding her.

"Yeah." She sighed getting up. "What do you want?"

"Well, I came down here to—"

"If it's to ask me to help you and the rest of the Titans fight Slade's apprentices, then the answer is no. I'm not helping you guys." She told him.

"Well, actually—"

"I mean, you guys think you could just randomly select some average person and bring them to another dimension asking them to help you fight four dangerous and powerful super villains? I don't think so!"

"Well, we're really sorry, but I just—"

"I could get killed! Okay, so maybe I do have powers, but I have no idea how to control them or how the hell I got them! But just because I have powers doesn't mean I'm supernatural or strong enough to fight four villains."

"Okay, I understand that, but—"

"All I want to do is get back home. And I know you and your friends don't trust me and think I'm gonna snitch about your little two-dimensional universe, but who the hell's gonna believe me anyway?"

"We know that, but all I want to say is—"

"Yes, I know you guys are heart-broken that I won't be able to help you fight Slade's apprentices, but I'm sorry. I'm just not up to saving the world. Heck, I couldn't even save my best friend or myself earlier. So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try to find a way to get back home and when I do, I'm gonna—"

"CHRIS!" Robin yelled finally getting her attention.

"What!" She asked looking at him as though she was just rudely interrupted.

"Okay, I know that you don't want to help me and the Titans fight Slade's apprentices. And I understand if you're mad at us for dragging you to this dimension. But all I wanted to say was that we could help you control your powers, because, believe it or not, all of this is real. When you get back to your dimension, you're still going to have your powers. And having control over them is better than going back home with no control over them at all. Think of the damage you could do to yourself and innocent people." He told her. "So, I promise me and the Titans will find a way to get you back home if you stay with us and let us help you gain control over your powers."

Chris looked at the Boy Wonder and then gave him a smile. "All right, you got yourself a deal." She said shaking his hand.

"All right. We'll start your training tomorrow morning. Okay?"

"Okay." She said as Robin walked out of the basement and headed towards the living room while Chris followed him.

When Robin and Chris finally walked into the living room, the Titans all looked at them as though they were waiting for something.

"So, what's your answer; you gonna help us or not?" Beast Boy asked with his arms folded looking at Chris.

"All right dudes, sorry, but I won't be able to help you guys. But I will be able to stay so you can help me with my powers." Chris told them.

"All right. And you promise not to tell anyone about this dimension once we send you back home?" Crow asked.

"I promise." She said with a smile.

"All right! Looks like we got a new member on the team." Cyborg said as him and the rest of the Titans started to cheer except for Raven of coarse.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not a new member, I'm only staying so I could get better control of my powers." Chris corrected.

"Well, either way, we need to celebrate. Who's us for pizza?" Beast Boy asked.

"Oh yes! Me please!" Starfire said waving her hand in the air. "I have had a large craving for the cheese pizza topped with marshmallows and mint frosting." She smiled while the rest of the Titans just looked at her with confused and disgusted looks on their faces.

"Um—is she for real?" Chris asked.

"Starfire's kind of . . . new to Earthly customs. You'll get use to her—individuality." Raven told her as the Titans all headed for the T Car and drove off to the Pizza Palace.

Well, there you have it. The ninth chapter, and there's still more to come! Here's the next preview.

When Chris goes out for some fresh air, who do you think she'll meet? Melissa, Ana, Alejandra; this is your chapter!
