I do not own the Teen Titans or really anything at all. But I wish Gumbleorkaschmelf was real, sort of...

Have fun reading! =]

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Carl Jung"

Her eyes instantly fluttered open as if on a cue. This room, she didn't recognize this room. She was on a bed, not hers. She swished her head from side to side.

Judging by the railings on each end, she must've been in some medical bed. That could clear up for the rest of the room. Similar cots lay in a row beside hers, each one divided by a thin white curtain. Tables and counters were filled to their limits with medical equipment of sorts, equipment that she never recognized.

She was wearing a pink medical gown and her underwear, her other clothes must have been somewhere else, she couldn't see them at all. Slowly she raised her hand to her forehead to scratch a sudden itch on her— "Wha-what is this?!" Her mouth voiced out her own thoughts as she felt strands of medical tape wrapped around the width of her head.

"You don't remember do you?" A random noise appeared. Instantly, its owner revealed itself from the shadows to be none other than the leader of the superhero team of which she wholesomely disdained.

"No. Not entirely," She quietly replied. Whatever must have happened to her had to be serious if she was here, since she's usually heard of other victims being placed in the local hospitals. The Titans weren't people who would generally bring random bystanders to their abode unless it was something important. 'Or if you yourself had some sort of powers,' She noted, remembering that blonde bender that was on their team for a short while. 'Whatever happened to her remains a complete mystery…'

"Hmm. Well, Johnny Rancid was about to come after you, we're not exactly sure why. You may have looked like Starfire or Raven to him through all the smoke. Anyways, I tried to get you out of there as quick as possible. Apparently, it didn't seem to work out so well as I had planned." Robin tried to explain.

"I can see," A curt answer, some dissatisfaction of his clumsy error had dripped like venom through her words. He picked up on her tone quickly and decided to brush it off this once. She obviously wasn't a fan of them at all.

"By the way, I never did ask for your name," He tried to lead them out of an awkward conversation that went nowhere.

"It's Lizzy. Lizzy VanCampp." A sheer utterance of her name. Somehow, Lizzy did not feel all to sociable today, like any normal day.

"Oh, ok. Lizzy, you're currently being held in our medical wing," He obviously stated. "We'd like you to stay in here for a little more -just another half hour or so- until it's secure that you won't have another fainting spell. After then, you're welcome to leave this room and walk around the tower if you'd like –just avoid going into any private rooms of ours please- until tomorrow. If you don't mind." If you don't mind?! Of course she minded. She didn't want to be cooped up here for so long. Yet, she had no interest in starting any trouble with anyone, especially in her state.

"I don't mind at all," So she accepted his offer.

"Good. Well I'll leave you." He started for the door, quickly shuffling his feet to turn the other direction and walking briskly.

"Wait." He stopped at a dime for her sullen command. Turning to face her once more he returned the same somberness, "Yes?"

"If it's not inconvenient, could you bring me a glass of water? I'm really thirsty," He gave no direct answer but a short nod. She quickly asked one more question before he took his leave. "Also, what time is it?"

"Monday. Eight p.m." He muttered before quickly leaving her. She already missed school and work! She couldn't believe she'd been here for over a day, nor that she'd have to spend another night. 'That long for just a bump on the head and passing out?' Of course she wanted to get out of this bed as soon as possible. She needed fresh air. So she tried to occupy herself in such a short amount of time. Thinking, counting tiles, anything really –there were no magazines or books or any sort of entertainment that was nearby.

"Oh hello friend Lizzy! I hope you had the pleasant rest. You seemed out of the it when friend Robin accidentally pushed you." To say she had a pleasant rest was an overstatement. She immediately rushed out of bed once Cyborg had delivered her a glass of water and her clothes after doing a quick check-up on her before leaving. A bump on the head was such a laugh to him when she reproved that he didn't need to fuss over minor conditions. ' Just a bump on the head would be a better substitute to the seven stitches on the head and a very large band aid for the huge scrape on your arm,' he had explained to her.

"Yea, it was nice," She politely remarked to the tameranien princess. She quickly found the living room because of the sign on the door. It was weird, just a feeling made her do a few a turns here and there until she found it.

"Come! You must be very hungry," Starfire led her into the kitchen area. "There are the leftovers of the dinner that I made" Lizzy uttered a confused okay. She was hungry, no doubt, she just didn't expect such hospitality from them.

The Tamaranien princess had seated the guest to a stool on the bar as she heated the leftovers. Seconds later, a ding was thrusted out from the microwave, signaling the food was ready. Starfire took it out and happily presented a plate of red mushy breadsticks under a pile of green noodles and yellow bubbling sauce with tiny blue chunks. Lizzy looked at the mess, questioning to herself if it was edible or not, before her stomach gurgled out a loud growl. Edible or not, she was very hungry and nothing was going to stop her from eating. She quickly scooped a forkful of the goop and ravagely inhaled it through her mouth. It may have looked nasty but it tasted better than anything she ever had before in her life, a taste so very indescribable but delicious. She took more forkfuls, savoring the taste until Starfire stopped her in midst-bite. Lizzy couldn't help but groan.

"Friend, that is not the way to eat the Gumbleorkaschmelf unless you want to anger the gods from my homeplanet." Lizzy sat there in confusion but sighed. She would do anything just for another bite of Gumblerakasmalf, or whatever it was. "Okay, so how do I eat it?"

"You think she can be trusted? After what happened last time-" Raven secretly inquired to Robin on the couch. Beast Boy and Cyborg, though still barely listening to the conversation next to them, were making such loud comments to the video game of the month that they were playing.

"She isn't that bad, Rae. She may not- Awwww! BB! What did you do that for?," Zealous laughter erupted from the changelings mouth as his stunt interrupted Cyborg's input, who became fully engaged in the game once again.

"She may not be too fond of us, but I doubt she's any evil. By the looks of it, she doesn't even have any superpowers or anything. She's just a normal person," Robin tried for an optimistic outlook.

"Yea, c'mon Rae! She seems pretty cool. Try to look on the brighter side of things for once," Beast Boy wholeheartedly backed up Robin's side. "…Dude! I lost! How did you kill me like that? I was so whooping your ass not too long ago." The game had ended at that, despite the protests of best two out of three from Beast Boy.

"Friends! May we watch a movie with our new friend Lizzy?" Starfire dragged the poor girl over to the rest of her teammates. Lizzy was almost in mid-protest until the band of teenagers had actually agreed to the idea, with some bit of awkward silence. Starfire immediately pivoted back towards Lizzy and made a puppy dog face. "Oh please, you must watch a movie."

"O-okay-y…" Lizzie awkwardly affirmed the idea. She was instantly plopped down onto the couch in between Cyborg and Beast Boy. Starfire rushed over to the movie cabinet and began listing off all of their collection at a rapid pace which Lizzy could not keep up with.

"So what film do you wish to see?" Starfire excitedly asked. Lizzie had not seen many of these movies, her family was more into books and board games or Uno rather than technological media such as television or movies. But at least once a year in the summer, they would go visit the local drive-in theater, she remembered.

"Any movie is okay with me. I'm not too picky." She was in a somewhat indecisive mood today, she really had no objections to anything at the moment.

"We'll watch this one!" Starfire picked a movie out of the pile in a haste without even looking at the title. The team made a groaning noise as soon as they saw just the cover page.

"Night of the Living Dead? Again?" Robin sighed at having to see this movie once more. Once or twice was cool, but after seeing it over twelve times in two months was too much. It was too late though, the alien had already popped the DVD into the slot.

"Have you ever watched this movie before?" Raven brought up a topic starter to the guest. Lizzy caught notice that the question was for her and she quickly nodded.

"Once, but that was years ago," Lizzie rambled on. "After the-…well um, I never got a chance to watch it again after the first time." She had to catch herself before she opened up to them completely. The lights dimmed as the film began and Lizzy found herself in a state of happiness despite who she was with.
