Hi, guys!

I realized I forgot to put a disclaimer in the first chapter, so I'll just add it here: I don't own the Teen Titans... Sadly.
Anyway... Now that I've covered the disclaimer... Here's chapter two.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2 - Attack

Beast Boy was laying on his back on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He couldn't take his mind off the girl he met earlier that day. He only caught a glimpse of her face, but he remembered that she had very pale skin and violet eyes. He also remembered her scent... Lavender mixed with something else, something similar to green tea.

There was something special about this girl. He wanted to know more about her. As he thought about it he came to the conclusion that she wasn't a villain. He could tell she was running from something. He saw it in her eyes. The fear visible in them betrayed her... The same fear once present in his own eyes.

Beast Boy thought about how he could get closer to her. He also questioned himself about why he wanted to know more about her. She wasn't the only other super-powered being besides him, there were plenty... And yet this one seemed to captivate him somehow. 'Huh... Should I start believing in love at first sight?' he thought before he proceeded to smack his own forehead with his hand. 'It's a bit early in my life to completely lose my mind. Get it together, Garfield!' He decided it was best not to think about it after that. Back to his other question... It was obvious that she wasn't going to just open up to him. He had to get her to trust him... One question: How?

His alarm rang just then, reminding him that he had to leave for his night patrol. He was already in costume. He had a black suit, similar to his old Doom Patrol uniform, but with short sleeves. This one was almost entirely black with a single green design on his right sleeve. It had the shape of a wolf paw print with clearly visible claws. This was meant to be the symbol of his shifting abilities. He had changed the original design of his belt also. The buckle was somewhat the same, still round, but with a green outline. The rest was transformed from a simple belt to a utility belt with all kinds of tools. He also had short black gloves. His boots looked almost the same as his old ones, but with green and black instead of purple and grey.

He got up with a sigh and reached for his mask. He didn't even know why he was wearing had green skin... Not exactly difficult to recognize. Then an idea popped into his head... He grinned as he put his mask on, maybe for the last time.

The mysterious cloaked girl was sitting on a blanket next to an oil lamp she found in the basement of an old house in the suburbs of Jump city. The house was for sale, so she knew no one was going to come looking for here there for a while. She didn't really have a place to stay and she considered this safer anyway for the time being.

Her life wasn't exactly luxurious before either... It was a little safer, but in the long run it made no difference. Her current situation was definitely more precarious, but it gave her some hope for the future. She just had to make sure those damn hunters didn't find her and she would be just fine. She was sure they were on her trail... But she was going to make sure they lost it. Even if she had to hide like this. She was almost sure that they couldn't track her. So as long as she stayed out of sight she'd be fine.

For the first time in weeks she wasn't thinking about where she could hide next, or what she would eat. She was thinking about the boy she met earlier. She was almost sure he wasn't a hunter... They weren't the kind of people who ask if you're alright... They wait for the moment you let down your guard and they attack you right then and there, full force. So then... He was just genuinely kind... As she thought about him, she remembered people talking on the street one day about a supposed hero who protected the city. They offered no physical description, but when she met him, he wore a very distinctive suit compared to the civilians she'd seen until then. He also wore a mask. It had to be him, right? 'Hunters protect their identities too...' she thought. 'But they don't wear masks... They have hoods. And his attire was a lot more modern...' Maybe he wanted to trick her. 'That has to be it! Or not... That's not how they operate...' She had to admit it... At least to herself... She wanted to trust someone... She'd feel a lot safer if she'd have a friend... But that was just wishful thinking. Friends were not supposed to be a part of her life. Besides... Could he help her in any way? Would he?

"Hmm... What could I use to lure it out?" thought Vixen out loud. "I'll have to find it first... And I'll have to spy on it to find the one weakness I need..."

"That plan is going to fail, Vixen." came a calm, yet cold voice from behind her.

"Ever heard of knocking, Dragon boy?" asked Vixen.

"Of course... It's what civilized people do... Meaning not anyone in this building, so why bother?" he said with sarcasm laced in his voice.

Vixen bared her pointy teeth at him with a growl.

"See? What did I tell you? Lock the teeth back in their cage, Whiskers."

"Shut up or I'll kill you, insufferable lizard!" she screamed.

"Let's see you try..." he challenged. 'This is why you won't succeed... Because you're allowing me to get under your skin... You'll focus so much stopping me, that you'll forget about the prey... That's your weakness, isn't it, Vixen?'

It was already pretty late when the girl decided to leave her temporary hideout. She had to find a new one soon and she was more comfortable with moving around in the dark. Her raven shadow was impossible to see in the dark. She didn't want a repeat of the day before. She couldn't get careless now. She came too far to get captured now and get dragged back to... 'NO! Focus!'

She was about to summon her raven shadow when she suddenly turned halfway as a spear landed right next to her. The thing nearly grazed her face. She narrowed her already glowing eyes at the one who threw the spear.

"Excuse the rudeness, Gem. Can I have this dance?" asked a cloaked man standing at a considerable distance.

His face couldn't be seen under the hood, but the girl could see that he was wearing light armor under his black cloak.

"That is not my name!" she snapped at him. His spear was enveloped in dark energy and thrown right back at him.

"You made her mad! What happened to your sneak attack plan?" asked a cloaked woman catching the spear just a few inches away from the man's chest.

The newcomer was also wearing a black cloak and armor and while his armor covered his entire body, she had just a chest plate, shoulder plates, gauntlets and boots over a black body suit. Unlike her partner, she didn't carry any weapons.

"Apologies, dear! She dodged my spear." he answered through gritted teeth.

"In that case... How about I take shot at it?" asked the woman smirking as she took off her cloak and handed it to the man. "Take care of this for me, will you?"

The younger girl started levitating. Her hands were engulfed in her dark energy. She frowned at her opponent and sent the nearest car flying at her. The woman dodged.

"That all you got, princess?" she taunted laughing as she continued to run towards the levitating girl.

"Not even close!" she answered gritting her teeth. She tripped the woman with her powers and she fell face first on the hard pavement.

"That was very rude, Gem." commented the man. "You ought to apologize."

"Actually... You two should apologize to this young lady for attacking her!" came another voice from an alley behind the two villains.

Beast Boy emerged from the alley, ready to fight them off.

Well, that's it for the second chapter. I'm going to add more characters soon, but they don't quite fit in the picture yet.

Tell me what you think of the story so far!
