Chapter 4
Training
Kaz woke in his room from Raven's voice. "Kaz, wake up," it said. He looked around the room for her. To his surprise, he was all alone in the room. He then noticed the intercom on the wall next to his door. "Oh," he said.
He stepped over to the intercom. "Yeah, Raven?" he asked. "We need you on the beach, we're having the obstacle course today," she answered. "Ok. I'll be down in a minute," he said.
He activated his ring, and his costume formed over his clothes. He couldn't help but smile at his White Lantern uniform.
Kaz walked into the main room. "Good morning, Kaz!" said DD, who was helping herself to some pancakes. "We're going to try the obstacle course today."
"Say wha?" muttered Solar Cat. "An obstacle course? The only thing I can do is glow. Not like, dodge and run and stuff."
"That's why, if you don't get it the first time, you can try again," said Robin. Solar Cat looked a bit ,ore relieved. Cyborg set something down on the counter. "Bacon's ready!" he said.
BB eyed the bacon. "Are there any tofu ones...?" he asked. Cyborg nodded, "AWESOME!" BB shouted. Cyborg gave him the tofu pieces, and BB ran off to eat them.
Starfire was sitting next to DD, eating her own breakfast. Raven was drinking herbal tea on the couch. Kaz got himself some pancakes and bacon, and sat on the other side of DD. "Fifteen more minutes, guys," said Robin.
Kaz ate his breakfast, and stood by the window. The bay was beautiful from here...Robin tapped his shoulder. "Time to go to the beach," he said.
The Titans stepped onto the beach. "The obstacle course is over here," said Cyborg, gesturing to a large area to the left. Raven was already at the controls. "Who wishes to go first?" asked Starfire.
DD immediately raised her hand. "I will!" she said. She stepped up to the line marked "Start". "Three..." started Cyborg. "Two...ONE!"
DD started running. The first obstacle was a wall, and she climbed over it very easily. Next, a series of huge pegs, which DD had to maneuver through very carefully.
Next came a huge pit, and using a long pole DD conjured from her mind, she took a long run and pole-vaulted over it. DD continued running towards the finish line. Then, all of a sudden, two rocks suddenly split open to reveal two flamethrowers.
DD then did the impossible; she teleported past the flamethrowers' range of fire before she could be blasted. The entire team cheered in amazement.
"Thank you, thank you!" DD said, bowing. She went and joined the others in the observation box. "Who's next?" asked Robin. Kaz raised a hand. "Me," he said.
Kaz stepped onto the starting line. He decided not to use his flight, as it would allow him to go over all of the obstacles, and he wanted to challenge himself. So, he climbed the wall as fast as he could.
For the pegs, he hopped over the tops, and landed gracefully at the end. When the pit came, he came up with an idea. He formed a bar going lengthwise over the middle, and formed a rope tied to the bar. He grabbed onto the rope, went back a few steps, and ran towards the pit.
When he reached the very end, he jumped, tightly gripped to the rope, and landed on the other side. Now came the flamethrowers. He formed a shield around him, and simply walked across the finish line.
Everyone clapped and cheered, and Solar Cat went to the starting line. Cyborg said to start, and Solar Cat ran towards the wall. When she jumped, she sort of warped to the top, much like when the Flash would use his speed abilities.
She jumped down to the other side. She again used her warp ability, and went through all of the pegs, with great accuracy. When she got out, she looked a bit tired. Can't use my warp ability anymore... she thought to herself.
So, she decided to do it the old fashioned way. She took a few steps back, and ran to the edge of the pit. Then, she jumped. She made it most of the way, and had to grasp the other edge. She pulled herself up, and dusted herself off.
Solar Cat shot the flamethrowers with light beams and completely melted them. She crossed the finish line, and cheered. "Woohoo! I made it," she said. She joined the group. "Good job, guys, I'm impressed," said Robin.
"Now what?" asked DD. BB jumped up. "We could, uh, watch a movie or something! As long as, uh, we're done training that is," he said. Robin nodded. "I will make the popcorn, everyone!" said Starfire.
They all went inside to watch the movie. Again, the dark figure was watching them from above, poised to strike...
