DW: Chapter 3 time! Yahoo. Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far and
I apologize for not updating sooner. For a more formal apology, see my
bio.
Irie: Shouldn't you be doing homework?
DW: Are you my muse or my conscience?
Irie: Good point. DW owns nothing but the original character.

Starfire blinked. "Tempest?" she asked softly.
"Yes." The girl replied and sat up slightly. "Thanks for taking care of me and everything; it was very kind of you, but I should really get going."
"You don't have to leave right away, I mean, not if you don't want to." Beast Boy interjected.
"I don't want to infringe upon your hospitality." Tempest replied.
"It's no problem; I mean you saved BB's life so we all owe you a big favour." Cyborg announced as he shoved a blushing Beast Boy.
"Thanks Cyborg, just had to bring that up again, didn't you?" the changeling muttered.
"How are you feeling?" Raven asked, her level voice interrupted the argument that had begun between Beast Boy and Cyborg.
"I feel fine. A bit sore, but nothing that time won't heal." Tempest answered, and moved to leave her bed.
"Wait!" Starfire cried loudly. Robin jumped and turned to his friend. "Watch the volume Star. What's the problem?"
"I have just remembered that I had to bandage Mystery's...I mean Tempest's ribs and back."
"And?" Robin prompted.
"In order to do so, I had to remove most of her garments."
Tempest flushed slightly and pulled the blanket to her chin. Raven quickly ushered the boys out of the room and closed the door firmly behind them.
"Don't you think it would have been a good idea to warn Tempest about her lack of clothing *before* she started to stand up?" Raven demanded as she returned.
"My sincerest apologies! In the excitement of making a new friend, such an important fact fell from my mind."
"Don't worry. I'm just glad you remembered before I stood up completely." Tempest reassured the distressed Tamaridian. Then she inspected her bandages. "Do you think I'm healed yet?"
"I am not positive," Starfire answered as she opened the wardrobe, "your bones were damaged, but I do not think any of them were broken."
Raven's low whistle echoed across the room. "How did you manage to escape a fight like that with no broken bones?"
Tempest shrugged, "Luck I guess."
Raven studied the girl on the bed. She seemed so familiar, yet Raven could not remember why. Tempest looked up, her brown eyes met Raven's inquisitive orbs and for a moment, recognition ignited in Raven's mind, then vanished. Starfire approached the bed and deposited Tempest's clothing on the edge. Tempest quickly pulled on her white skirt, fitted aquamarine tank top and white knee highs. She stepped off the bed, fully clothed. The two female Titans regarded the colours of Tempest's clothing.
"Your clothing causes you to resemble..." Starfire began.
"The sky. I know." Tempest finished Starfire's thought.
A loud bang on the door interrupted the conversation. Raven calmly opened the door to find a slightly annoyed BeastBoy on the other side. Cyborg and Robin stood behind the changeling as he tried to see into the room.
"Is Tempest alright? I need to talk to her." He announced.
"Sorry BeastBoy, you'll have to get in line. I need to talk to her first." Raven answered.
"What?!" BeastBoy glared at his quiet friend who sent an equally cruel look in his direction. Starfire stepped between the two, her arms full of fresh bandages.
"That is enough, friends. Perhaps we should show Tempest around her new home and then..."
"Wait a minute. My new home?" Tempest interrupted quietly as she appeared in the doorway.
"You don't have to stay if you feel uncomfortable here, but as it is, we consider you a honourary Teen Titan." Robin replied.
Tempest grinned slightly, then met Robin's eyes. "Are you sure that's alright? I don't want to impose."
"You won't be imposing at all. As long as you don't encourage BeastBoy to make more tofu, you're fine in my books." Cyborg added.
Tempest laughed slightly as BeastBoy yelled at Cyborg about the health benefits of tofu. She then turned her gaze back to Robin and the other two Titans.
"I'm not sure if I should stay. Slade is after me and I don't want to put you in danger."
"We're already in danger because of Slade." Raven stated reasonably. "Your presence here won't cause us any trouble, trust me."
"As long as you're sure it's alright, I'd love to stay." Tempest grinned.
"Hurrah!" Starfire cried loudly, throwing bandages into the air. BeastBoy and Cyborg looked up from their argument at Stafire's shout. BeastBoy took the opportunity to free himself from Cyborg's headlock.
"What's with the makeshift confetti Star?" BeastBoy asked as he pulled a bandage out of his hair.
"Tempest has agreed to reside within the Titan Tower!" Starfire informed.
"Hey great." Called Cyborg. "Ever played video games?"
"Once or twice." Tempest replied.
"Well then, let's put your skills to the test, shall we?"
Tempest opened her moth to respond, but Raven interrupted. "You can bore her with your video games later. Right now, I need to talk to her."
"But I..." BestBoy began to retort, but one glare from Raven silenced him. Tempest smiled apologetically as she followed Raven.
~*~
Raven led Tempest into her room and ignited several small lamps.
"I rarely let people in my room." Raven murmured.
"Why am I special?"
Raven regarded the girl once again. Everything seemed familiar. The sky coloured clothing, her kind mannerisms; she had met Tempest before. "I remember you. I know it may sound strange but I'm sure I have met you before."
Tempest studied the shadow elemental closely. She felt recognition the first time she had seen Raven but the events of the battle had made it impossible to concentrate. Now, as she gazed at the girl before her, she felt the recognition once again. "I know what you mean, I remember you too, but I don't know why."
"Starfire said that we're family." Raven muttered, absentmindedly. Tempest stiffened and fixed her gaze upon the door.
"That can't be the answer." She said softly.
Raven continued to think aloud. "I recognized some of the words you were saying in your sleep. Some of them were in the language that we spoke on my planet. I didn't really understand the rest." Raven fixed Tempest with her gaze. "What language were you speaking in?"
Tempest returned Raven's look, but did not answer the question. "I was talking in my sleep?" she asked, her eyes clouded with worry.
"Yes." Rave responded, curious about Tempest's anxiety. "What's wrong?"
"I'm worried about what I said. I know that when I have nightmares...well, let's just say it doesn't end well."
"You didn't destroy too much of the room." Raven assured with a small smile. Tempest returned the grin and relaxed slightly. Raven returned to her original question, "What language were you speaking?"
"It was probably Spanish."
"Spanish?" Raven questioned, confused. Tempest nodded.
"It was the first language I ever learned."
"Oh, but how do you know the language of my planet?"
"I have no idea." Tempest shook her head slowly as she tried to think. Raven sighed in exasperation. Tempest fixed her with an apologetic glance. "Sorry I couldn't be of more help."
"Don't worry about it." Raven assured. "I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually."
~*~
Raven led Tempest to the main room where the other Titans had gathered. Robin glanced at the two girls as they entered the room. He marveled at the contrast between Raven and their new arrival. As Raven pointed out several items to Tempest, Robin realized something.
"Hey Tempest, we were never formally introduced." He stood and motioned to the group around him. "I'm Robin."
Stafire also stood. "And I am called Starfire. I hope that your stay in the Titan Tower is very enjoyable!"
"Cyborg." The dark-skinned boy announced with a wave.
"And I am BeastBoy, ruler of the animal kingdom. Go me." The changeling cried with fake egoism.
"And you already know Raven." Robin said as he motioned to the cloaked girl beside Tempest.
"Yes, I know Raven." Tempest responded. Raven understood the double- meaning in her answer and nodded.
"Anyone hungry?" Cyborg asked the group. Starfire nodded enthusiastically and the other Titans gave similar answers.
"Cool. I'll cook!" BeastBoy called happily.
"Oh no you won't! I refuse to eat anymore tofu. Not to mention your cooking will probably scare Tempest away." Came Cybrog's reply.
"Riiight, cause your cooking is so much better than mine!" BeastBoy retorted sarcastically. Tempest turned to Raven as the two boys continued their chaotic argument.
"Are they always like this?"
Raven sighed loudly, "Always."
Tempest laughed lightly and turned to Robin. "Would it be alright if I made dinner for all of you? I'm guessing that BeastBoy is a vegetarian, but are there any other food concerns?"
"BeastBoy being a vegetarian is an understatement." Robin replied with a grin. "But, if you're willing to take on the challenge of preparing food for this mad house, go for it. No one else has any other food concerns, unless you count the fact that Cyborg refuses to eat tofu."
Tempest smiled and made her way to the Titan's spacious kitchen. After a quick search, she found all the necessary ingredients for the meal. As she washed the vegetables, she marveled at the Titan's kindness and generosity. She had become so accustomed to cruelty and betrayal that the Titan Tower seemed like another world. Methodically, Tempest sliced and separated the vegetables then moved toward the stove. She forced herself to focus on her work; she could not afford to let her mind wander.
In the main room, BeastBoy and Cyborg continued to bicker about cooking. Raven took a book and settled on the couch. Robin grabbed the remote and began to channel-surf, the noise of the television challenged Cyborg and BeastBoy's shouts. Starfire glanced nervously between her two friends as she tried to stop their disagreement. After her fifth failed attempt, Robin glanced away from the television, "Forget it Star. These fights are healthy for them."
Starfire turned to Robin with a confused glance. "Healthy? How can yelling at a friend aid someone's health?"
Tempest appeared in the door of the kitchen. "Dinner is ready."
Cyborg stopped in mid-sentence as he and BeastBoy turned to look at her. Both their mouths hung open stupidly as they realized that Tempest had prepared an entire meal during their argument.
"You'd best shut your mouths before you swallow a fly." Raven muttered as she passed the two shocked boys. Cyborg and BeastBoy glanced at each other, called a truce. Then, they followed Raven into the kitchen.
~*~
A dozen dishes sat on the kitchen table, each with a different content. BeastBoy gazed happily at all the vegetables while Cyborg drooled over the meat choices.
"I vote Tempest the official cook of Titan Tower!" Cyborg declared as he grabbed a chair. BeastBoy nodded in agreement as he sat down. Tempest laughed and placed a basket of taco shells on the table. Cyborg grabbed three shells and piled them with beef, pork and chicken.
"I'm in heaven." He muttered through a mouth-full of meat.
Tempest took a shell and layered it with vegetables, sauce and beef. "Buen provecho." She said instinctively.
"Igualmente." Raven responded without thinking. Luckily, the other Titans were too engrossed in their food to notice the exchange. Tempest met Raven's inquisitive glance.
"We just need more time to think about it." Tempest sighed as she bit into her taco. Raven nodded slowly and took her own shell. Neither elemental girl spoke much during the remainder of the meal.
~*~
BeastBoy flung himself onto the couch. "I haven't eaten that well...ever."
"I have to agree with Cyborg and BeastBoy on this one," Robin said, "you're a great cook. Where did you learn?"
Tempest shrugged off the compliment, "Here and there. I guess I just watched people. I've had to cook for myself for a while now, so it's a good thing that my cooking is edible."
"It is far better than edible! It is better than the Clemency Precas on my planet, and those are a rare delicacy." Starfire praised. Tempest flushed at all the attention and attempted to change the subject.
"Your tower is amazing. It looks like it has everything."
"Including several training rooms." Robin interjected. "So, who's up for some after dinner training?" The typical groans and complaints greeted Robin's suggestion. Robin sighed at the Titan's laziness.
"I'll train."
The room silenced as its inhabitants turned their attention to the newest Titan.
"Really? Will you really train?" Robin asked, shocked that someone had agreed.
"Sure, why not?" Tempest responded casually.
~*~
Robin showed Tempest into the holographic training room. He entered a small booth, accompanied by the other Titans. They watched as Tempest waited in the circular room, her arms crossed.
"Don't go easy on me because I'm new." She called to Robin.
Robin bent over the microphone. "I'll start it at a low level and then build up once we see how strong you are. Get ready, the holographs will start in a minute."
He switched of the microphone and turned to the control panel. As he adjusted some settings, BeastBoy approached him.
"Be careful, man. Remember, she just woke up. We don't even know if she's fully healed yet."
"I know, I'm going to start it off on a really low level and if I see that she's getting tired, I'll turn it off. I think she knows what she's doing."
"I hope so." BeastBoy turned his attention back to the view window. Robin adjusted the final dial and pushed the start button.
"Here we go."

DW: Alright, so that was chapter three. Not too much happened, but I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway. Next chapter, Tempest will move through the training session and you guys will get to see some of her powers. Also, I have no idea if the Titan Tower actually has a holograph training room. If it does then yay, if not then I took some artistic license.
Irie: Yada yada. You talk too much. Do your reader response.
DW: Yes ma'am. Geez, when did you get so bossy?
Irie: Ever sine I became the all power full ruler of Lint Land.
DW: Riiiiight...
TO DarknessAngel235 : I think it's very cool that you also created an original character with elemental powers. My original characters are usually changelings, but that job was already covered by BeastBoy. Thanks for the confirmation about Starbolts and for pointing out my mistake with Teen Tower vs. Titan Tower. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review.
TO Box Persona: You are still the ultimate faithful reviewer. I'm really glad that you liked the story so far and thanks for the review!
TO DJ Werrwulf: Yeah, I do like your penname, what you gonna do about it? Haha... Anyhow, thank you very much for your kind review. I finally got around to reading and reviewing YOUR story, so, yes. Also, good job recognizing the language she was speaking in last chapter. Thanks again for the review.
Irie: Shouldn't you be doing homework?
DW: Are you my muse or my conscience?
Irie: Good point. DW owns nothing but the original character.
