Authors Note: I will be continuing my one shot, but I just wanted to write this first. This is my first try at a chaptered story so you may have to bare with me on updates. On a different note, just watched TT: Trouble In Tokyo. Not going to post any spoilers, but man, that kicked butt!

Marvel Girls

Girls Mind
Part One
The dark greys of the Tower's wall structure were gone. Instead, it was replaced by a room with many brightly lit candles shimmering brightly. Starfire looked around. Next to her was Raven, she saw Terra standing slightly to her right. These where the only two she knew however. Many different girls stood around her, some she had seen on the news, others she had not.
"Welcome, champions all! You are hereby invited to compete..." Starfire lifted her head as a voice spoke from the shadows. There stood a very strange man, and coming from Starfire, he was very strange indeed.
"In the Tournament of Heroines!"
Starfire was getting very strange vibes from this man.
"Raven." She spoke to the girl next to her.
"Yeah?" Raven responded.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Her voice was layered with uncertainty and Raven didn't have to use her mind reading to figure that out.
"Me too," Raven placed both fingers to her head as she tried to connect with the Masters mind "But I'm not getting any bad readings from him. I think it's safe."
Starfire wrung her hands, still unsure. Suddenly, she remembered who she had seen earlier.
"Terra!" Swirling round, Starfire gripped Terra into a tight hug, not much unlike the last one.
As she was swung in a vice grip, Terra clenched her teeth and spoke though them, "It's nice to see you too Starfire, but could you put me down now?"
Blushing, Starfire accepted Terra's request and let her down gently. "I am most sorry friend; I do not know my own strength."
Terra smiled, "That's alright Star, me neither."
Raven walked over, "Nice to see you again Terra."
She held out her hand and shook Terra's in a very formal way. Terra shook her head mentally. If Starfire and Robin weren't head over heels for each other, she knew Robin and Raven would probably be dating.
"So how have you guys been? Bet it's been quiet at the Tower while I've been gone." Terra, under Robin's permission, had gone to the rocky outskirts of the City to practice. Well, at least that's what they thought she was doing.
Starfire giggled, "Yes friend, it is most quiet without the loud sounds of music that accompanied your stay."
Raven groaned, well there was one thing she didn't miss. Terra had a thing for heavy metal rock music. It was usually turned down low, but when Beast Boy had gotten his hands on it…Well, the result was disastrous.
"Did you ever find those things?" Terra said, referring to when Raven had chucked them out of the window after Beast Boy had repeated the chorus of 'Rock Your World' way too many times.
Raven raised an eyebrow, "Are you kidding? We never even looked."
The girls, minus Raven, broke out into hysterics. It was only until Raven noticed that the sounds of their hysteria were echoing did she remember where they were. Taking a slight glance round she noted that the only people in the room were girls. Slightly alarmed by so many people in one room, not too mention they were all staring at her, she whacked Starfire and Terra around the head and motioned for them to stop it.
It seemed that the jolt to the head had made the others notice the many people around them. Starfire, overjoyed at the thought of making new friends, scurried over to the nearest person and rattled off a greeting.
"Curiosity abounds. Please. Where do you come from; how did you get here; what is your favorite colour; do you wish to be my friend?" Terra briefly remembered her asking the same questions when they first met. It even included the leaping in the face. She hung her head low and shook it, poor girl.
"Uh……. Themyscira, I don't know, Red and sure?" Each answer was said uncertainly, and as they were answered, Raven became more aware of who the girl was.
"Wondergirl, am I correct?" The small group turned their hands to her, under the spotlight again, Raven tried to steady herself. "The only females on earth that have come from Themyscira are Wonderwoman and Wondergirl, and seeing as you don't look old enough to be Wonderwoman, you'd have to be Wondergirl.
Proud of her success, Raven turned to the others around her and began taking in their deatails. Delving into their minds on the rare occasion she was clueless.
"Batgirl, Elsa Bloodstone, Dazzler, Chesire and Andromeda." Raven pointed to each one in turn.
Batgirl blinked, she wasn't all that surprised that her Alter Ego had been guessed, there was a large picture of a bat on her chest and her belt was styled in the shape of one. But even she didn't know half of the young ladies standing beside her, and she was taught by Batman!
"How do you know our names?" The one pointed out to be Elsa spoke up, "It is not as if we know you or your companions."
Raven narrowed her eyebrows, she wasn't expecting a question like that. She knew that many people were annoyed when a mind reader did their magic without their consent.
"I just know," she responded with the first thing that came into her head.
Seemingly satisfied with her response, Elsa settled back down on the wall she was previously leaning against.
"Are you all thick?" Raven whipped her head around. She knew that voice.
"Jinx…" She spat through clenched teeth. "What are you doing here?"
"If I knew do you think I would be coming over here to ask you?" Not saisfied with the answer, Raven raised her hand ready to blow Jinx back. "Go ahead, I can prove I'm not lying. Read my mind."
The atmosphere in the room changed.
"You can read minds?" Dazzler's eyes narrowed, remembering the last time she had had her mind read, she wasn't too keen on learning that someone had been in her mind without her permission.
"Yes," Starfire's perky voice rang out, "Raven is most wonderus at the reading of minds, is she not Terra?"
Sensing Raven's discomfort at being found out, she added her two cents. "She's not really that good, she can't really control it. Sometimes she just enters peoples mind unintentionally."
Raven blinked then she noticed Terra glaring out of the corner of her eye to Jinx and Starfire, as if warning them not to make a word. Jinx scoffed, and settled herself on a pedestal.
"Whatever."
The room was back to its previous comfort. Andromeda picked up a large stone ball and began to toss it around in her hands.
"Well, if you don't know why we are here, maybe that man from earlier will. After all, he seemed to be the one who has brought us here."
Wondergirl shrugged, "It's the best idea I've heard all day. Only one problem…"
"What?" Raven wasn't sure whether or not she was good or bad. All she had gained from looking inside her mind was a name. There was some sort of force field stopping her from reaching anything else. For now, she would have to trust her.
"We don't know where this guy is."
Dazzler sighed, "Well that's a bummer," She began to form a ball of light in her hands.
To anyone else, this would seem strange, but the girls in the room had seen much stranger things.
"Indeed," Elsa twisted the Bloodstone chocker she always wore around her neck, "But we are still going to look for him, yes?"
Batgirl nodded her head enthusiastically. "Of course we are. It wouldn't do for us to just stay here!"
Starfire flew up to her, "You are most right new friend. Come! We must find this man of mystery and figure out why he has brought us here!"
Using her Super strength, Starfire dragged Batgirl across the floor and grabbed Andromeda along the way. The others soon followed. Jinx sighed but pulled herself up and allowed her arm to be linked onto Dazzler's.
Soon enough, the only two left in the room were Raven and Cheshire. Cheshire raised her eyebrows at Raven and eased herself off the stone slab she was sitting on.
She didn't speak as she slinked across the chamber, but Raven could have swore she saw her wink at her just before she slipped around the doorway. She narrowed her eyes. There was just something about that girl that rubbed her the wrong way and made her uneasy. Making her own way out, she took one last look at the room before pressing the old wooden entrance gently into place and catching up with the others.
To her misfortune, she was placed next to Cheshire….
End Chapter One
Authors Note: Well, there you have it, chapter one. If you're not sure about the others girls (Most probably the Marvel ones) Don't worry, there's no need to read up on them, their back stories most probably won't come into this much. I'd love some feedback on this, constructive critism is welcome.
A note on the characters. Usually, whenever I read a story that focuses on Batgirl or Donna Troy (Yes this is what Wondergirl I'm using) they usually end up getting bashed. Now this isn't always the case, but I'd just like to say. No characters will be bashed in this story. Not even the Master Of Games – however much I may want to.
