DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS ONLY THIS STORY AND THE CHARACTERS I CREATED!

Author's Note: Ok so this chapter pair is the last that advances five years at a time. The rest will only advance one year. I think there will be only two chapter pairs after these. Tell me how many you think I should do more.

Chapter 11: Mark Alex Logan

Another five years have come and gone since we've last talked. Some of us are finally able to go on missions as another team for backup or it there are two crimes going on at once. As of now, Arella and I are sixteen, Sagefire, Raeanne, and Ocean are fourteen, Taiwo and Aden are twelve, Gage Farica, Quella, and Idelia are eleven, Selena, Ora, and Phoenix are ten, and Adela and Edgar are eight. Our parents are only allowing me, Arella, Sagefire, Raeanne, and Ocean to be on the other separate team so far. All of the others are green with envy. I have to say that our costumes are pretty sweet.

My costume is a jump suit similar to my father's, but it is all black. The belt on it is white as well as the gloves and shoes. Since as you know I am like my mother I have a cloak also. It is also black and goes down to the floor just like my mother's does. My hair is overgrown and styled upward and slightly turned to the side. The side of my head are neatly shaved, but they're not too short. I also have gauges sized 12.7 mm (or 1/2"). I do plan on getting a tattoo, but mother and father freaked out when I mentioned it, so it won't be happening anytime soon.

Arella's costume is a white leotard that has no sleeves (her costume has changed for a reason I will soon tell you about). She has a white cloak with a hood just like mother's. She has white knee-high boots with spikes looking items on them, and they are laced up on the back. Her hair is grown to half-way down her neck. The top of her hair is styled upwards in a small Mohawk fashion. She has a thin green piercing going through the top of her ear, and she plans on getting a nose ring soon even though mother and father insist that she doesn't. I know she wants a tattoo too, so she will have to wait just like I have to. She wanted to be called the Dark Beauty because of the makeup she wears with her costume. She wears no eye shadow, light foundation, dark black eyeliner in an Egyptian type style with the bottom line stretching along her cheekbones, and dark black fully covered lips. Mother and father freaked out when she first wore it, but Arella likes it and doesn't seem to care much.

Ocean's costume is a light blue leotard like mother's. She has a utility belt since she was taught by Uncle Nightwing, but it looks more like father's belt and is black. She has a cloak that matches the color of her leotard that reaches the floor and knee-high boots. Her hair is slightly curly and reaches down to the middle of her rib cage while her bangs reach down to the bridge of her nose obscuring her vision only slightly. She wears glittery silver eye shadow, light blue eyeliner that's in a drama style that looks like wings (if you do not understand look up eyeliner styles), and no lipstick.

Sagefire's costume is similar to her mother's. Instead of it being purple, it is the color green that matches her eyes. Her hair is long and reaches down to her waist and is layered in various places. Her bangs are slightly curved across the right eye going into her hair also slightly layered. She wears natural eye shadow colors, simple style eyeliner that is black, and bright red lipstick. I know that she also wants two eyebrow piercings (one above and one below the eyebrow) because Arella told me. I'm not sure, but I think she also may want a tattoo.

Raeanne's costume is similar to her father's, but the colors are different. Her top and shoes are red while her bottoms and cape are blue. She also has a "r" in a circle just like her father did. Her hair is cut short to her chin with the ends curved slightly. Her bangs stop under her right eye and sweep into her right side of her hair. She wears no makeup what so ever except pink lipstick. She wants no piercings, and I happen to know that she has a small infinity sign tattooed on the inside of her wrist. Let's just say I hope her parents don't find out about that.

Anyway, as a side team, we've only gone on five missions because either none of the crimes were serious or not many villains attack at the same time. Four of our missions that we were on were to stop bank robberies or little stuff like that. The only major one that we went in was the last mission, and we all got injured pretty bad.

Ok so as you know, my father got in an accident on a mission and now has the Beast inside of him. Well obviously all of us kids old enough know, but we didn't know about Adonis. I know you guys know about hi, but let me refresh. He has a big ego and also has a Beast inside. We didn't know about that until we were already on the scene of our mission.

Our parents had gone to stop Johnny Rancid and his herd of mechanical bulls that he designed that were humungous. While they were out, we got a call saying some guy named Adonis was wrecking havoc at the gym… again… We decided to go out and handle it even though we knew nothing about him. Once we got there, you could tell right away that he had a big ego, so we all decided to have fun and mess with him. Let's say that that was a horrible idea…

Adonis ran off leaving the gym running like his life depended on it. Since I am the only guy, we all agreed that I would be the leader, so I decided that Ocean, Raeanne, and Sagefire would stay behind and get people out of their hiding places.

We ran down the block following a trail of debris that littered the ground. It stopped at a sewer cap. Arella and I thought it was odd, but we opened the cap and jumped into it. There was no light inside of it, so we were in complete darkness. We heard growling up ahead, so we became cautious of where we moved in there. Finally after about ten minutes, we found an area with a light bulb. The only thing was that there was a Beast animal under the light. At that time, we knew what it was capable of because father informed us, but it was a whole other thing to see it firsthand. We were unprepared, and he attacked us and ripped into our flesh in various places. Arella was knocked out instantly. I managed to stay conscious long enough to send out a distress signal to the rest of our team. Arella and I stayed in a coma for a month. During that time, we were able to communicate with each other. For some reason, I was able to see what was happening from the corner like I was there but not, and I could only stay there.

While in the coma, Arella confessed to me something that was very shocking to find out. She told me that she was in love with Sagefire, but she liked boys too. I told her what it meant and that I wouldn't think anything different about her. She asked me to see if Sagefire came to her while in the coma because I told her I could see. Sagefire was in the med bay almost all day everyday always red eyed and holding Arella's hand. I thought this, but didn't tell Arella, but I think Sagefire loves her too.

When we woke up, I was able to figure out why Arella was knocked out so fast. She now has three scars on her face (one on her forehead, one going across her cheeks and nose, and one going across her chin down to her neck a bit), three long scars around her waist, three scars on each leg, and one on her back. All of them are pretty deep, and she is lucky to be alive right now. My scars are not that bad. I have three long scars going down both my arms from my shoulder to my wrist. I'm just lucky to have both my arms still working. Arella's costume now has holes where her scars off because she thinks it will scare her enemies on account of how nasty they long according to her.

As of right now, we are all fine, but I still keep having these weird dreams, but they are not happening as much as they did before. I think some of the darkness happened, but not all of it has…

Author's Note: Don't kill me because of the Arella and Sagefire thing! It looks like my chapters on Monday will be coming later at night because I've been too busy to type as often as I used to. Anyway sorry it's late, but I think the length of this one makes up for it. This chapter is officially the longest chapter I have ever written! Anyway update in a week along with an announcement!
