Teen Titans Season 6

Episode 4: Big Thoughts

Author: Brruundin

Warning, I do not own the Titans or any other DC characters I may use.

It was morning, 5:45 am and Vibe couldn't sleep, he kept having thoughts running through head. Adjusting to the new lifestyle in the tower wasn't easy. He was so used to living on his own, the constant dealing with others was starting to bother him, and he was trying to figure out how to deal with it. He didn't want to come across rude or anything but the other Titans were really starting to get on his nerves. Robin making them overdo training, Raven, always so cold and distance, it seemed sort of rude. Beast Boy obsessed with this Terra girl, Starfire overly nice all the time it was starting to make him sick. Cyborg, who was overly confident and trying to act cool all the time, maybe it's my poor social skills? Hmm, I guess I'll just have to get used to it all. As much as I hate it sometimes, these guys are starting to grow on me, like the siblings I never had. He then rolls over and tries to get some sleep. Hopefully today will be better.

Later that morning, Vibe's alarm goes off. He grumbles, rolls over and starts to get out of bed. He heads out into the hallway and into the bathroom. He stares at himself in the mirror. His blue eyes, red with bags from the lack of sleep, bed hair, brown and scraggly. Today is just gonna be wonderful. He grabs a towel from the top shelf and turns the faucet on the shower. The warm water feels good on his hands. He takes off his shorts and shirt and steps inside. The hot water hits back. He starts thinking again, I wonder when I'm actually gonna become a member of the Titans? I'm tired of being treated like just a guest or friend. Oh well, time will tell. He finishes up in the shower and puts the towel on. Once he gets dressed he heads out into the living room then into the kitchen. He turns on the pot of coffee and sits down at the table, laying his head down for a minute. Once the coffee is done he grabs a mug from the cabinet and pours himself a cup. He takes a sip, black just like I like it. A few minutes later he hears someone come out into the main room. He looks up, it's Starfire.

"Good morning Starfire" he says, trying to be more positive than he was much earlier that morning.

"Oh good morning friend Vibe, how are you on this glorious day?" Starfire goes through the kitchen looking for stuff to make into breakfast.

"I'm okay I guess, still really tired haha, I couldn't really sleep last night", he takes another sip of his coffee and rubs his left eye.

"Oh? Why is this friend? Did the others disturb you?" Her cheerful expression turns into concern.

"No, no haha, I was thinking about things". He finishes his cup and pours some more.

"Oh? What was it that you were thinking about?" the concerned looks continues.

"Well, it's just that I'm not used to being around people all the time, since I was sorta like a loner my entire life. So sometimes you and the other Titans can get on my nerves, no offense or anything! Haha, I do really enjoy your company and all, I just need to get used to it". He laughs than take another sip.

"Ah, I understand, do you wish me to inform the others? I am sure they will gladly understand what is going on?" Her expresses then goes back into her normal cheery self.

"No Starfire its fine, haha, however another thing that does bother me is that I've been here for over a week, isn't it about time I become an official Titan? Have you heard anything or have you guys discussed this at all lately?"

"Hmm, we have not, but I shall bring this up to friend Robin when I am able to. I and, I would think the others would be very glad to have you as a part of the Titans".

"Thanks Starfire, I'm glad we could have this talk". He then heads outside to grab the paper, when he comes back in he sees Cyborg and Robin have woken up, and are now getting ready for business.

"Morning guys," Vibe warmly greets the other Titans, trying to make sure his thoughts from the morning didn't reflect in conversation.

"Titans, I got good news, once Beast Boy and Raven are out of their rooms there is going to be a meeting". Robin says while acknowledging Vibe's greeting.

At that moment a loud yawn comes from done the hall, a sleepy Beast Boy appears and takes a seat on the couch. A few seconds later, Raven appears, and takes a seat in her usual spot away from the others.

"Okay Titans, I got word late last night that Kid Flash and Jinx are going to be paying us a visit from Europe later today. More people around is going to be a big help, so hopeful we can get to the bottom of things while they are here". The expressions on the Titans faces all appear to be different. Starfire is overjoyed, while Beast Boy looks upset, Cyborg confused; Raven and Vibe just looking indifferent, being that is how Raven always is, and Vibe doesn't know either of the two.

"Dude, we have friends paying us a visit and all you care about is catching Slade! We should be throwing a welcome back party or something, you know?"

"Aw yeah baby, we gonna have a partay!" Cyborg cheers at the thought of Beast Boy's comments.

"Oh yes! Friends we should be rejoicing at the return of Kid Flash and Jinx!" Starfire grins with joy. Robin doesn't look happy with the others, he doesn't say anything and then heads into his room, the others could tell that he wasn't happy.

"Dude, all I said is that we should be focusing more on the other things…" Beast Boy morphs into a mouse and scurries off into his room.

Meanwhile, Robin comes back from his room, "I'll be back in a little while, I'm gonna take a walk".

He heads out the door, he thinks to himself, why don't they ever care about catching Slade? It seems like the only concerning matter is whether or not were going to have a party or not. Robin signs, he's almost into the city. He looks up into the sky, it was a very cloudy day, and the whole city had a very gray and dull look about it. As he heads to his destination, the tallest building in the city, where he would usually go to sit and think when he was upset about these kinds of thing, he hears some sort of scream. This alarms him, and he starts running towards it. As he gets closer, he hears windows breaking, and car alarms going off.

"Looks like someone is up to no good", he starts running reaching for a couple birdarangs on the way. Then, shock comes across Robin as he sees who exactly is causing the trouble in the city.

Robin gets closer to the shadowy figure, "Red X". Robin then charges towards him, throwing a couple birdarangs along the way. Red X dodges them, jump up and slashes down at Robin, causing him to fly back a few feet. Robin struggles for a few seconds, and then Red X charges towards him, he gets up quickly barely missing the attack. Robin and Red X than go into hand to hand combat.

"Why are you here?" Robin throws a couple punches toward Rex X, no answer.

"Ugh answer me!" Robin lands a good punch and smashes Red X in the face. Red stumbles to the ground but still doesn't answer Robin.

"Are you working for Slade?" Robin backs down while he waits for an answer. Red X recovers, and then lunges towards Robin. The two continue to battle, each punch with more power to it than the last. Finally, after both Robin and Red X appear exhausted. Red X stands down, Robin does the same.

"So are you finally going to answer me?" Robin asks one final time, Red X simply looks at him then throws a smoke grenade, he vanishes.

"Ugh! This always happens". Robin was exhausted. He then realizes there is no point in going after him anymore and makes his way back towards the tower. On the way, he wonders why Red X had returned, and assumes he is working with Slade because of the timing between the two's return. When he finally gets back the tower, he sees that Kid Flash and Jinx have arrived. He greets them, and starts to explain what had just happened.

"Wow seems like you have had an interesting experience". Kid Flash says while looking at Robin.

"Yeah, you guys may need to stay here a little bit longer than planned; we're going to need all the help we can get". Kid Flash nods, thinks for a second, and then his face turns to disappointment.

"Well, I'd love to help, but I told The Flash that I would help him in Central City, however Jinx would be more than happy to stay and help you guys, right?" He then looks over at Jinx who happens to be in middle of a conversation with Starfire and Vibe.

"What? Oh yeah sure sure I can just stay here". Jinx looks back at Kid Flash and rolls her eyes. Kid Flash could tell she wasn't happy about him leaving her here with Titans. First off, they used to be former enemies, and she could tell that Raven and Robin still weren't too fond of her. The others were fine, Starfire was always nice, and so was Beast Boy, Cyborg and her had history, so it was a little awkward, the new guy was pretty nice too, kind of cute. What was his name again? She'd get that later in the mean time she was going to continue tell Starfire and him about her adventures in England and France.

"Anyway, before I was rudely interrupted" she quickly glances back at Kid Flash and then turns back to the others. "After we helped out in London, we decided that it would be nice to visit you guys again, I was getting home sick, and Wally-er Kid Flash needed to return to Central City, so I was gonna go with him, but since you guys need help I guess I am going to need to be here instead".

"Oh wonderful friend! We can commence in the Earth ritual of painting each other's nails different colors and the braiding of each other's hair! It will be much pleasure!" Starfire says, filled with joy that her new friend was going to be staying here longer than expected.

"Oh yeah, well I'm glad I won't be the new guy anymore haha, by the way I'm Vibroscream, but everyone just calls me Vibe for short". Vibe holds out his hands and then smiles at Jinx. He thought she was really pretty, and glad she was staying longer than expected especially without her boy toy Kid Flash over there. Finally another cute girl, I mean Starfire is great and all but the fact she isn't from Earth still kind of bothers me.

Jinx then looks back at him, blushes, and smiles back. "I'm Jinx; it's nice to meet you Vibe". Hmm, he seems nice, I think it won't be so bad staying here without Wally, I mean all he did while we in Europe was flirt with every girl he set eyes on, it got really annoying quick. I'm actually kinda glad I get a break from him for once.

Robin heads over towards Vibe and pats him on the back. "Well I've been thinking and I know the other Titans won't mind this, but I think it's about time you become an official member of the Teen Titans". Robin then hands him an official communicator that only the Titans that live in Tower have.

"Wow, really Robin thanks!" Vibe was really excited about this, what he had been waiting ever since he found them had finally happened.

"Hmm looks like a little celebration is in order, how does that sound to everyone?" Robin asks the others, they all look sort of stunned to the fact that Robin was the one asking about this. But that look quickly faded, as the others, minus Raven, cheer with joy.

"Wonderful! I shall go make a delicious treat for my friends".

"Starfire no!" the others all said in unison, no one really likes Starfire's cooking and they much rather order pizza instead. Everyone then laughs at what had just happened.

"I'll go order some pizzas" Robin says, the others enjoy the night off free from crime, everything seems fine, but Robin knew something was coming soon, something big.

A/N Episode 4 is done! No Slade this time, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a plan brewing. Also the return of some familiar characters is going to play a very important role to the future episodes. Please comment/suggest something, I like to know what others think about the story so far!
