Despite my failed attempts, I still entered the Teen Titans world. However, I woke up in an unusual room. I sat up in a queen mattress, covered in an orange duvet. The walls were white and bare; the only other furniture was a desk propped against the wall.

"What...?" I mumbled, pulling the duvet off and swinging my legs over the side of the bed.

"Good morning, Ciela." I gasped and jumped to my feet when I saw the Teen Titans standing at the door to the room. I bowed my head.

"Morning." I said quietly.

"Do you like it?" Robin said.

"Like what?"

"Your new room."

My head snapped up, and I stared at the Titans with wide eyes. "M-my room? What do you mean...?"

"You've been such a wonderful acquaintance. Your knowledge of this apparent show and your mere presence would be... a lovely addition to the team!" Starfire said, clasping her hands together.

"Y... you mean..."

"Ciela," Robin walked over to me, took my hand, and laid a communicator in it, "we want you to be a member of the Teen Titans."

I stared at the communicator- my communicator- and slowly wrapped my fingers around it. I looked up at the Titans, who all had eager smiles on their faces.

Me. They wanted me. A smile curved on my lips, and I held my communicator to my heart.

"Yes." I said. "Heck yes!"

"Glorious!" Starfire cried, crushing me with a hug. Beast Boy joined, and I noticed Starfire's expression change from happy to annoyed. Cyborg lifted all three of us off the ground.

"Congratulations." Raven said with a hint of a smile.

"Welcome to the team." Robin said.

"Aw, yeah!" Cyborg cried, setting me, Starfire, Beast Boy down. "Listen, Ciela, I'm real sorry about what I said yesterday. You being here is awesome, trust me."

"Um... Thanks." I said.

"So... now that you're a Teen Titan... I should probably say this now, but... I think you're gonna need some new clothes." Beast Boy said, scratching his head nervously.

I looked down at my shapeless, dangling clothes and chuckled. "Yeah, I really do."

"Fear not, friend! I shall escort you to the mall of shopping, and we will purchase you a new wardrobe!" Starfire said.

"That sounds great. Thank you all. I really appreciate this." I said. "But how will I be able to fight with you guys? I can't be isolated to only spouting out information; I may just be a human, but I want to help you in the action in any way that I can instead of watching helplessly."

"No worries." Robin said. "I'll train you."

I nodded. Outside, the area filled with a large clap of thunder and multiple flashes of lightning.

"Trouble. Titans, move!" Robin said. "We'll start today. Come on, Ciela."

I nodded enthusiastically. Me, a Teen Titan! I pinched myself again to check if I was dreaming; I winced and rejoiced from the pain.

"Coming!" I said, running after the Titans.


Our opponents were two supernatural brothers: Thunder and Lightning. They had good hearts, but they were unaware that their fun was hurting people. We headed to Jump City's cable bridge, where the two brothers were.

Starfire and Lightning chased after each other, hopping from car to car and shooting starbolts and lightning at each other. Starfire got hit with a bolt of lightning and fell. Cyborg and Thunder wrestled with each other. Thunder summoned a ball of thunder and Cyborg switched to his cannon arm. The two smashed their fists into each other, creating a giant force of power that sent both of them flying. Thunder twisted himself back onto his feet and summoned a cloud that carried him into the air. Robin leaped after him, grabbed his collar, and flipped him over. Beast Boy came up behind Lightning, transformed into a panda, and wrapped his furry arms around him. Lightning electrocuted Beast Boy, and the shape-shifting boy fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" I said, kneeling at his side.

"Just... a little shocked." Beast Boy said.

"Rise, Green One, so we may do battle." Thunder said as he stood over us. He lifted his fists as blue electricity consumed them.

"Why are you guys doing this? You're making a mess of things." Beast Boy said, standing up.

Thunder lowered his arms in confusion. "Because... it is amusing?"

"Nothing about this is amusing- it's wrong. You're putting peoples' lives in danger! Look!" I said, gesturing my hand to the leftover, terrified pedestrians still on the bridge.

A bolt of lightning slammed into Beast Boy's chest, knocking him off his feet again.

"Come, Thunder, and we shall seek more amusement!" Lightning said. The supernatural boys took off into the sky.

I walked over and helped Beast Boy stand. Starfire flew past us, still refusing to speak to Beast Boy. Beast Boy sighed and fixed his hair, extra frizzy from Lightning's attack.

"All right, Team, we have to find those guys before they do any more damage. Cyborg, search the west side. Raven, the east. Beast Boy, you and Starfire scan from the skies." Robin said. "Ciela, you and I will check downtown."

"Um..." Beast Boy said, glancing at Starfire, who had her back turned towards him. "Maybe Cyborg should come with me instead?"

"Cyborg can't fly."

"Oh... yeah..."

"Have a nice flight, my little clorbag." Cyborg said, pinching Beast Boy's cheek.


"Any information about who we're up against?" Robin said as we started walking through downtown.

"Their names are Thunder and Lightning. Guess which one's which." I said. "They're brothers with supernatural powers. But the thing is... they aren't bad."

"Considering the leftover carnage over at the bridge, I find that hard to believe."

"I'm serious. They believe this is all "fun time"; they don't realize what they're doing is wrong. Lightning is more "go big or go home" with amusement, while Thunder is being influenced by his brother; I've seen Beast Boy try and reach out to him about the error of his ways. However, it'll take a couple more attempts before their eyes are really opened. I can't suggest you don't use violence to try and quell them, but rather, you'll need it."

"All right." Robin said. "Um... I have a question."

"What?"

"The last time you were here, before you ran off, you called yourself something. I think it was... Fattela?"

I stopped abruptly and stared at the ground. Robin stopped and turned to me.

"Is... that what people call you back in your world?"

I slowly nodded as I fumbled with my fingernails.

"I mean, what other suiting name is there to call me...?" I said.

"Your real name. You're Ciela, and that's that. You shouldn't let people get away with treating you so horribly. I don't know what it must be like, but if you're allowing yourself to be the victim of bullying without doing anything to stop it, then you'll let those people win. You can't let that happen." Robin said. "You have to stand for what's right, even if it means standing alone."

"Thanks... Robin..." I said. "Let's meet with the Titans. I know where the brothers are now."


The Titans and I ran into the forest up on the mountain that overlooked Jump City. Thunder and Lightning stood in shock as a being made purely of fire rose from the ground, a trick they had been fooled into doing by Slade disguised as an elderly man. The fire monster headed towards the town, consuming everything it touched with flames. We chased after the fire monster, but nothing the Titans did helped to slow down its progress. In fact, they made it worse. The fire monster roared.

"Robin." I said, pointing past the monster. He looked and set his eyes on Slade as the disguised man smiled.

Thunder and Lightning zipped into the sky while Robin chased after Slade. Raven cast a blast of her magic at the fire monster. Its flames were snuffed out, but only for a few seconds before it regenerated. It roared as its flames exploded in a kamikaze attack. I gasped and hid behind a rock as an intense blast of heat spread across the forest, incinerating all the plants around me.

"Stop it! You're destroying everything!" I cried. I ducked behind the rock again as a bolt of lightning hit the ground near me.

Lightning fired again, but it was blocked by Thunder. He threw a punch at him and sent him into a tree. A fight ensued between the brothers while the battle between Robin and Slade continued somewhere within the fiery forest. The rest of us watched the fire monster continue towards the city.

"We gotta find a way to stop the fire!" Cyborg said.

"Okay, do you have anything in mind?" Raven said.

I turned back towards Thunder and Lightning. Thunder dropped against a rock while Lightning stood over him with a sinister grin and a hand filled with electricity.

"I know." I said, and I ran towards them.

"Tell me, brother, are we still having fun?" Thunder said.

Lightning lowered his arm. "No..."

"Observe." Thunder pointed towards the fiery monster. As it reached the very border of the small village nearby, the four Titans worked together to try and stop the monster.

"You can stop it." I said. The two brothers turned to me. I pointed at the Titans. "See those guys? They also have gifts, but they use them for good. You can do that, too. If you combine your powers together, you can quench the monster's thirst."

Thunder and Lightning looked at each other and nodded. In a flash of lightning, the brothers disappeared into the sky. The skies lit with lightning flashes and the booming thunder gave me goosebumps. Soon, the air was showered in a downpour of rain. The fire monster roared in agony as the water doused its flames. It melted into ashes. I returned to the Teen Titans.

"Please, forgive us for the trouble we caused." Thunder said. Lightning crossed his arms and pouted. Thunder jabbed his elbow into his brother's side.

"Yes... Forgive us." Lightning mumbled.

"You are forgiven. Many thanks for helping to defeat the flame monster." Starfire said.


The Titans and I stood at the crest of the hill, looking at the Titans Tower. The clouds began to separate, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Robin handed Cyborg a disk with an "S" etched into it.

"So, Slade wants to destroy the city. But why?" Cyborg said.

"I don't know. Ciela, could you tell us anything?" Robin said.

"I can't tell you much; Slade's an important character in this show. He's going to cause a lot of trouble for you, Robin, but I know you can handle it. I'll help in any way I can; we all will."

Robin nodded and stared off towards the ocean.
