Shenris Shenrir chapter6: Gaia

Advice noted, understood and will be acted on.

Lucky you.

OoOoO

Shenris was stunned. It had only been about 3 days and she was already being asked to be a Titan. She looked at the other Titans and saw that they were staring at her with hopeful faces, except from Raven, who was just staring at her with one eyebrow arched.

"But where will I stay?" She asked, her amazement slowing down her thought process.

"You'd stay here" Robin replied, his arm wavering slightly as it became tired from holding the communicator.

"We've already furbished your room!" Beast Boy cried getting over excited and earning him a slap round the back of the head from Cyborg.

"You have?" She asked him, her face looking even more surprised then it was before. "Wow." Suddenly her consciousness caught up, and she realised why Robin was agreeing to have her on the team.

"Isn't it cheating having a god on your side?" She asked Robin, the shock on his face obvious when he realised what she was asking.

Robin lowered his arm, but still held onto the communicator. "I still have my doubts, I'll admit that. But I do trust you." The other Titans looked at Robin and back at Shenris, who appeared to be… grinning?

"I never knew you cared" Shenris said, restraining from laughing out loud. She failed.

Robin flushed, and practically bellowed, to the surprise of the others, "You already knew didn't you!"

"Yes!" She shouted before collapsing from laughing so hard.

Raven and Cyborg caught on why she was laughing, and struggled not to laugh as well. Starfire and Beast Boy didn't, but when Cyborg told Starfire that Shenris had made Robin admit something personal, which he hardly ever did, she started to laugh, but clapped her hands over her mouth when she saw the stares Robin and Beast Boy, but not so much Beast Boy, were giving her.

"So are you in?" Asked Beast Boy giving up trying to understand. He raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"I'm in" Shenris said holding out her hand to receive her communicator from Robin.

The Titans cheered as Shenris took her communicator. She couldn't believe it. She had been truly accepted in a place that most people wanted to go to. Wow.

"Now you need a name of the hero" Starfire said floating to Shenris.

"A name?" Asked Shenris thoughtfully, she hadn't thought of this.

"Yeah a name!" Shouted Beast Boy, getting excited yet again. "Like "Divinity, or Divine Providence or something!"

Shenris thought. She needed a name that was personal to her, and yet would send a message to those in Valhalla. She thought. Her mind remembered a person she once new that had wanted to be a Titan. She had powers too, but back then she didn't know the stuff she did now. As far as she knew though, she was dead, her power had killed her. No control.

"How about Gaia?" She asked.

The Titans seemed confused until Raven mentioned that Gaia was a name of the Goddess of Earth. They seemed to think it over at this revelation.

"I like it" Cyborg said nodding.

"Me too" Beast Boy and Starfire both said.

Robin held out his hand and smiled. "Welcome to the team, Gaia."

Shenris smiled and shook his hand.

OoOoO

After they had gone out for pizza, the Titans returned home. It had been a fun day, generally just celebrating Shenris' acceptance as a Titan.

When they got to the tower Starfire flew around in circles happily giggling like crazy. None of the Titans found this odd though, as Beast Boy and Shenris had tried to spike Robin's drink. Unfortunately, he had been getting a drink for Starfire, so she became rather tipsy.

"Are you sure you haven't been drinking alcohol?" Robin asked Starfire, because of course, he was the only one who didn't know.

"Me?" Starfire asked innocently. "Drinkinininge? Me? Your old friend Starfyree?" She fell on the couch. Robin just raised an eyebrow and set off to get an aspirin and some water for her.

"Right now what?" Beast Boy asked, after having too many drinks, he was sufficiently hyper.

"I don't know," Shenris said yawning. "I think I may just go to bed."

She set off for the door, but before she reached it, a green blur ran in front of her and started shouting in her face, loud enough to wake Starfire.

"Oh I completely forgot you haven't seen you room yet how could we forget I mean we took all last night and morning to make!" He screamed.

Suddenly Starfire was in front of her, shouting as well. "He's right! You need to see your rlooom." She was still drunk.

They both grabbed her hands and pulled her down the corridor. She shouted back for help, but it fell on death ears.

When they got there, they practically threw her through the door and turned on the light. She was speechless.

There was a blue carpet, matching the lighter blue walls. The bed was in the centre of the room, surrounded by four pillars with more in the corners. There was an orange stripe running up the pillars, and met more stripes on the ceiling to make a star.

Shenris took a few steps into the room. "How?" She asked.

"Raven looked to see what kind of style you would like" Starfire said groggily. Apparently the drink was wearing off.

"Yeah, she…" Beast Boy started, but he fell asleep during the sentence. His sugar high had worn off. There was another thump and she turned to see that Starfire had also fallen asleep.

Shenris sighed.

OoOoO

It had been about a week since Shenris had joined, and she had been a great success. Even though she kept her power to a minimum to seem human, they had an even easier time catching bad guys.

Shenris was in her room still wearing her outfit, it was a white cat suit with yellow trimming, and a yellow belt, gloves, shoes and choker. They had come back from a mission, and she hadn't bothered to get changed yet. She was expecting her power to grow anytime now, and she had to be ready.

There was a knock at her door, startling her out of her meditation. "Come in?" She said confused.

Raven walked in and gave her a slight smile. One time Raven had walked in on her meditating, they had begun meditating with each other, and had become good friends.

Shenris smiled back at her, and Raven moved over to her across the blue carpet and she climbed on to the bed. She levitated off it and positioned herself opposite Shenris.

They meditated in silence for a bit, just enjoying each others company, when Shenris started and giggled.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked concerned.

"Oh? Nothing" She said opening her eyes. "I'm just looking into other dimensions."

"Which ones?" Raven asked now interested, setting herself down on the bed.

"The ones with your brother" Shenris said.

"My brother?" Raven shouted, falling off the bed after trying to stand up.

"Um, yeah" Shenris said, leaning over the bed. "Charly, he doesn't exist in this dimension though…"

Raven remained quiet for a minute before climbing on the bed and sighing. "Why are you looking at him?"

"I used to know his friend or wife" Shenris said, blushing slightly. "Depends on which dimension you look at."

"Oh, what happened to her?" Raven asked still struggling to understand.

"She died" Shenris said, glaring slightly, indicating that the conversation was over.

There were a few minutes of silence, which was broken by Beast Boy shouting though the door. "Hey! Do you know where Raven is?"

Raven sighed. "Is there a dimension where Beast Boy doesn't annoy me?" She asked.

Shenris chuckled. "No, that seems to be the only universal consistency."

Raven sighed again and opened the door to a very surprised looking Beast Boy. After a brief conversation she and Beast Boy left leaving Shenris alone again.

OoOoO

I'm sorry for this being so late, but when I was writing this I was in Singapore/Australia. Woo holiday.
