(Waves) Hi people! (Phew) Wow, I can't believe I'm here, on the seventeenth chapter. I've been doing some math (like I do practically every day) and according to my calculations, I only have five more chapters left until story number one is over and I move on to the sequel! Man, I can't believe I'm coming closer and closer! Yeah me! And thanks to all the people who've been supporting me on getting this story done. You guys rock! Well, here it is; the seventeenth chapter!

Chris gave out a small yelp as she turned around; her face completely red while she was rubbing the back of her neck nervously.

"Um . . . h-how long have you two been standing there?" She stuttered.

"Long enough." Sasuke chuckled.

Super Nova and Envy both giggled.

"Oh please Chris. Stay with me! Please I beg of you!" Envy mimicked grabbing onto Super Nova's hand and leaning on the ground as though she were in agony.

"But I can't!" Super Nova said dramatically; freeing her hand from Envy's grip. "I belong with real people! I'm sorry, my love."

"But don't you see," Envy said getting up from the ground with her clasped hands in front of her. "I want you to stay here, with me. My life has no meaning if you're not with me Chris."

"Oh Robin." Super Nova cried and then ended up laughing her head off along with Envy; both of them falling to the ground kicking their feet in the air and holding their stomachs.

"All right, all right, are you guys quite finished?" Chris asked folding her arms across her chest looking down at the two laughing idiots that were Super Nova and Envy. (Sorry Alejandra and Ana.)

Super Nova and Envy looked up at Chris with tears in their eyes as they gave out one last breath trying to calm down.

"Yeah." They both said in unison wiping the tears in their eyes.

"Well, what are you guys doing here?" Chris asked while Super Nova and Envy got back up.

Dark Angel looked at her with a serious look on her face and walked towards her. "It's time Chris."

Chris gave her a confused look and then gasped in shock. "You mean—"

"Yup." She nodded.

"Slade saw the fight this afternoon and liked what he saw." Sasuke told her with his left arm planted on his side. "Congratulations tomboy—you're going home."

Chris was speechless. She stood their for what felt like an eternity not moving an inch until she finally looked down at her worn out K-Swiss shoes. Tears fell down her face; tears of happiness.

"I . . . I'm really going home?" She asked; her head still looking down at her shoes.

"Yeah, really. So are you coming with us or not?" Dark Angel asked a little paranoid.

Chris looked up at Dark Angel and the others, who were already flying in the air ready to leave. She turned back and looked at the exit to the roof of Titans Tower with a disappointed look on her face. She looked down shutting her eyes tight and clenching her fist trying not to cry her eyes out.

"Well . . . I was wondering . . . if you might want to consider—you know, maybe . . . staying here—as a Titan."

"You mean . . . you guys would actually accept me?"

"You belong here with us."

"It's just; I don't belong here Robin. I belong in my dimension with real people."

"Please Chris; anything to make you stay here."

"About what I said earlier—please, at least think about it. Okay?"

"I really want to stay here with you, but I can't!"

"Chris, you coming or what?" Super Nova asked. Chris turned around and looked at the four apprentices. She closed her eyes shut leaning her head down; peaking a look back at the exit.

"Chris." Dark Angel said becoming impatient.

Chris looked up at her with a serious face on stepping back a couple of feet. "I'm going ghost!" She yelled as the usually white ring formed around her and changed her into her ghostly form.

"Hurry up!" Dark Angel urged.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Keep your shirt on D.A." Chris told her flying up in the air and heading to Slade's lair with his apprentices. She sighed and turned her head back taking a final look at Titans Tower.

"About what I said earlier—please, at least think about it. Okay?"

Chris sighed. "I'm sorry Robin, but like I said before—I don't belong here. I belong in my dimension with Mikey—with real people. Thanks for the offer, but unlike what you think, I'm not a Titan. I'm not up to saving the world. I'm not up to upholding justice. I may have superpowers and special abilities, but deep down inside—I'm just a normal girl living a normal life."

Chris clenched her fist tightly shutting her eyes once again. "I'm sorry."

Crow gasped loudly as he stood up from his bed beating with sweat and panting madly; hid heart accelerating as though he were having a heart attack.

"Chris!"

(Phew) Well, that's the end of that chapter. I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible readers. Man, chapter eighteen. I can't believe how far I'm getting. Well, before I start rambling about how proud I am and how far I've gotten and how I couldn't have done it without my fellow readers, let me hurry up and start posting the next chapter. Peace out y'all!
