Chapter 7

Alone in my room, I could really reflect on the weirdness of being the only female on the team. There were times when I would want and need a girl to talk to. Even though I didn't like girl talk, I did like talking to Starfire. I sometimes wished she was still here. Who am I kidding; I always wished she was still here. But my prayers were almost answered the next day.

"DUDES! Dudes come here!" I dog-eared my page and flew out to the Ops. Room to see the green changeling. He was smiling.

"Why are you so happy, Grass Stain?" He was very giddy. He was probably planning to prank us all. But his aura wasn't cheeky. It was…happy. Seemed apprehensive. Like it was waiting for something.

"Okay, so you know how we're short one team member, right?" I nodded and the other two just sat there. Robin was out of his funk from earlier, although his butt still hurt, and Cyborg was glaring at Beast Boy.

"Well, I found a new female hero!" I quirked an eyebrow at the screen. No surprise, she was blonde. She had big wide brown eyes, and orange skin. She was glowing green and had energy orbs coming out of her eyes the same color. Like a direct Starfire knockoff.

"Interesting…" Beast Boy's eyes shone with innocence and hope. He probably really wanted this girl. Ever since Terra he's been longing for another blonde to fill his heart. Everyone thought I and Beast Boy were secretly dating- the magazines, the fans, the writers- but those rumors were quickly dismissed when Terra took Beast Boy on a date.

"Her name is Re'kindar. She's from the planet Sezzr in the Vegetarian system!" We all stared at him. That sounded an awful lot like Starfire.

"I don't know if we should bring another alien onto the team," Cyborg mused. I nodded in agreement. After losing an alien we probably wouldn't be able to handle another.

"Yeah. It might, you know, spark rumors." I looked at Robin. He looked like he was in pain. But not that much. Like the pain you feel when you don't win the biggest goldfish at the county fair or something.

"Well, uh, that's too bad 'cause I kinda-"

"Hel-lo Titans Tower!" I turned and saw a female who looked nothing like Starfire. She was Beast Boy's description to a tee, but she wore very different clothes. She was wearing very short jeans that left little to the imagination, a one shoulder zebra print shirt, and red stilettos. She spoke with an oddly Southern draw. I watched her strut over to Robin. She ran her index finger under his neck and around his face. He grabbed her hand and put it down to her side again.

"Hi. I'm Robin. I assume you know we're-"

"The Teen Titans! Way cool!" She smiled and giggled. She made these weird eyes at Robin then gave us very different eyes. Her eyes towards me seemed hostile.

"So, what brings a cool like chickadee like you to our humble abode?" I rolled my eyes as Beast Boy put his arm around the stranger's shoulder and draped himself over her. I whipped him off of her.

"Sorry, Re'kindar. He's a bit hands on." Beast Boy gave me puppy dog eyes. I frowned and turned back to her.

"It's 'kay. I like guys who are a bit rough." That made me shiver. She laughed at my shivering body.

"I'm kidding. I play football." I relaxed after that. She didn't seem like an alien, though.

"Aren't you from the Vegetarian system or something?" She gave me a confused look.

"I'm from Tennessee…where'd you get your information?" I glared at Beast Boy.

"But you do have super powers, right?" She smiled.

"Course! I'm an earthbender." Oh not another earthbender. We didn't need an earthbender. We needed someone similar to Stafire's powers.

"Okay…you can stay for the night." Robin said, staring at her.

"Thank ya! THANK YA!" If I thought she wasn't perky enough, boy was I wrong.

"So then I ended up here." I was really surprised, she was really interesting. She came from Tennessee and was adopted from an orphanage. She had enough perk to be like Starfire. All we needed to do was test her.

I've been deliberating bringing in another female character. This is what I came up with. I don't know...I hope this is sufficient. BB's falling in 3 w/ Re'kindar. Review and Favorite. Grammar Nazis and Flamers welcome.
