Howdy Folks and Welcome back to another exciting chapter of the one and only TEEN TITANS HALLOW CITY (Please take this time to applaud). This is your host, your ghost host with the most, Captain J.T. Wolfe, I will be with you until the end...of this chapter that is.

So, after promising action in this chapter for the past three chapters I'd like to take the time to apologize for the lack of any, I know I said there would be a lot of it, but the fact was that I just couldn't fit everything I wanted into one chapter (Otherwise this chapter would be close to twenty thousand words long), but next chapter I promise there will be, actually this is just Part 1 of a two Part-r, so next chapter for sure (If I don't, I give you full permission to kick me in the nuts...virtually not physically that is).

But now for what's really important, changes, developments and emotional junk that happened to me since last chapter.

For starters you may notice that several chapters before this seem rewritten, that is, of course, because they are. Realizing that I had tons of time on my hand one lonely Friday night, I took the time to go back and edit all spelling and (most) punctuation mistakes I made, So...yeah..it's gooder now.

Secondly, Hanukkah came and went (To the anti-Semites reading this, this is the part where you pack up your bags and head back to what ever hole you crawled out of), I got gifts..well really just 'a' gift. A brand spankin' new Ipod Video (at the cost of my old Xbox and Ipod Mini that is..Man I say 'That Is' a lot). So far I have over three gig's of songs and over a half Gigabyte of movies (Mostly Trailer Park Boys and The Boondocks. but there's some serious Seinfeld and Oz on their too).

Thirdly, The Holiday Breaks started, which means I have more time to write (Whooo..Writing), so you'll be glad to know this story will be over shorter than it normally would have. I also have plans for the Holiday's so I won't spend all my time writing. I plan on spendin' a weekend at my Cousin's place, he's got a giant ass TV and every Terminator Movie, an Xbox 360 with Gears Of War, Rainbow Six Vegas and Call O' Duty 3 and Surround Sound.

Fourthly, I picked up a new 'TV show of the month', 'Over There', for those of you unfamiliar, Over There is an excellent show about The War In Iraq, it's brutal, it's violent, it's gory and most of all it's politically correct, the show only lasted for a season and since I've seen half the episodes I'm sad to say this show will be short lived on my "TV show of the month' and will probably be replaced with another show.

Fifthly, Chapter Six should be out sometime in the next two to three weeks judging on what reviews I get (Hint, Hint) and how much I'm willing to type (which in turn is affected by reviews), I'd like to again (Again) thank Splint for reviewing (Is he the only one who enjoy's this story or what's the deal?), He's the sole reason this story's alive and kicking as apposed to...not alive and not kicking, so Cheers Mate, MerryChristmas (I know you don't celebrate that Wacky Hanukkah like me and I'm almost certain you don't celebrate Kwanza, but If you do hey...Happy Kwanza (Sorry if I spelt that wrong, i found like twenty different ways to spell it) and Have a Happy new year.

Which Brings me to Topic number five, Happy Belated New Year everyone and a merry Christmas, Krazy Kwanza, Chappy Chanukkah and kick ass what ever else you celebrate (Hey I'm no racist Everyone's got theire own beliefs and that's cool with me), hopefully you got great crap under the christmas tree/Hannukkah Bush or Kwanza...thing (Sorry if that offended any one...I try not to sound too edgy online)

Finally, a Disclaimer. I do not own The Teen Titans or any other D.C. owned character mentioned in this chapter or story, The Song "Don't Worry Be Happy" or any other licensed material in this story. What I do own are, The Heroes, Slack, Red, Blizkid, Sev, Tag and Lightlad, the plot of this story and who could forget...oh wait I just did...No I remember, A BRAND NEW IPOD VIDEO (I'm not gloating I'm Just happy).

Now please, buckle up, strap on your "Kick-Ass" goggles and get ready to get your socks knocked as you read this amazing chapter I call...


Chapter 5: Settling In

The plane touched down roughly on the runway sending violent vibrations throughout the plane, Slack immediately felt the shock and awoke.

At first she was unsure of where she was, she saw a large dark hallway with dozens of comfortable seats with an equal number of bodies in each seat, slowly her memory started to come back, she remembered she was on a plane….to Hallow City…because she was a hero.

Slowly Slack turned her head to her right, in the two seats next to her she saw Tag with her head gently relaxed on Lightlad's shoulder, with his head laid gently on top of hers, both were fast asleep, she smiled softly to herself, she had to admit the two would make a good couple.

To her right she caught a glimpse of Blizkid yawning himself awake, he rubbed the dust out of his eyes with his fists and turned his head towards her, he smiled and waved slightly.

"Are we in Hallow City?" he asked in a quiet whisper, trying his hardest not to wake either Sev or Red who were both fast asleep in the seats next to him.

Slack moved her head past the two sleeping bodies and glanced out the window, she couldn't see much from her angle but what she could see was a dozen or more skyscrapers, she guessed that they were in Hallow City.

"I think so" she whispered to him, he smiled and looked out his window, he too saw tall sky scrapers, they were much taller than the ones in Jump City some almost doubling the size of the tallest buildings in Jump City.

In what looked like the middle of the city stood the tallest building of them all, it was a circular futuristic looking sky scraper with a smaller building of the same design attached from the middle down to past what Blizkid could see, the building had a series of metallic tubes that came from what looked like the back and stretched around to the front, forming a sort of metallic skeleton around the base of the building, Blizkid wasn't sure what the building was, to him it looked like something he'd find in a Science fiction movie, but he was sure they'd soon find out exactly what this building was and what it did.

Several of the other passengers in their section of the plane slowly began waking up, yawning and stretching their arms as far as they could reach before slowly bringing them back down to their bodies, a few of the passengers started unbuckling their seatbelts as a voice rang over the intercom.

"This is your captain speaking, we've now reached our destination of Hallow City, and the time is currently 8:25 P.M. We thank you for flying with Oceanic Airlines and hope to see you again" The captains voice recited from the many intercoms along the top of the plane.

Blizkid looked to his right to see Red and Sev slowly waking up; Red stretched his arms forwards and slowly brought them back towards his body, all in one swift movement. Sev stretched his arms upwards and gave a loud and overly enthusiastic yawn before bringing his arms down fast, his right elbow slamming down on Red's head, Blizkid had the feeling this wasn't accidental, Red turned towards Sev, anger burning in his eye's, Sev gave a cheeky smile, Red sighed and undid his seat belt.

To Slack's right both Tag and Lightlad were slowly waking up, at first Tag looked unsure as to where she was, then she saw the side of Lightlad's head and blushed heavily, in her seat Slack smiled to lightly to herself.

Lightlad opened his eyes and slowly sat up in his seat, he turned to his left to see a blushing Tag staring at him, he looked confused and began staring at himself, looking for what it was that was making her blush, had his fly been undone? Wait that was right…his costume didn't come with a fly.

"What?" he asked in a half nervous, half panic filled voice, Tag, with the blush still attached to her face, pulled his head down towards her face and whispered something in his ear, as soon as she was finished his face light up with a bright red blush, he scratched the back of his neck with his right arm and looked the opposite direction of her, had he been watching her he would have seen that she too was blushing while looking away from him.

Meanwhile, the other passengers were slowly walking through the isle leading out of the aircraft, on their way several passengers stopped to get a good at the heroes, as if they were examining them or judging them, Tag politely shook hands and introduced herself as well as the others to several passengers including a trio of younger children, two girls and one boy, who were so eager to meet her as well as the other's that they practically leapt on her lap when they first met her.

Finally, after what seemed like hours to an impatient and uneasy Red, the plane was devoid of all costume-less passengers, making themselves and the flight attendants the only ones on the entire plane which also made Red feel slightly uncomfortable.

Red stood up slowly, making sure to not slam his head on the overhead baggage compartment, getting out of his seat he walked through the plane, heading towards the exit, having had both an uncomfortable and uneasy ride he had no intention of staying on the plane any longer.

Following after Red were both Blizkid and Sev, both stopped momentarily to grab their carry on luggage from the overhead compartments and soon after followed after Red, though none of the duo was as eager to get of the plane as Red was they were both eager to step into Hallow City for the first time.

Slack watched as half of her team left the plane, leaving only her, Lightlad and Tag left on the plane, Tag began to get out of her seat and move towards the exit, she did this with great ease as apposed to Lightlad, who following after her was having a much harder time getting through the seats.

He took a step forward only to have his foot caught in Tag's unbuckled seat belt that was laying on the, though he didn't seem to notice, he took a second step forward only to have the seatbelt wrapped around his leg tug at his leg, forcing him to fall forwards, as he fell the belt wrapped around his leg twisted his leg sideways causing his body to spin around so that if he hit the ground it would be back first, right when he was about to hit the floor he was suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes slowly and found himself gazing eye-to-eye with Tag who'd stopped his downwards descent with her arms.

"Quiet the catch you are…in both senses of the word that is" he said with a sly smile, Tag felt her face heat up and she quickly brought both hands to cover it, dropping Lightlad to the floor in the process, his body made a loud 'Thud" as it hit the floor and even shook the plane slightly.

"Oh…I'm so sorry" Tag said as she quickly bent over to his level, he smiled at her and quickly got to his feet, brushing himself off he spun on his heel to face her, she had a small blush on her face as well as a hard look of concern for him.

"It's alright…I've taken worse falls" he said, Tag's concerned face slowly changed back to her usual happy smile, Slack, who had been watching the two lightly flirt for the past twenty minutes was starting to get slightly annoyed, sighing she cleared her throat before she began to speak.

"Maybe we should get moving" She suggested, Tag and Lightlad both nodded lightly and after taking their possessions from the overhead compartments began to descend down the hallway that led towards the planes exit, Slack smiled to herself, she'd just given her first command to her team-mates, be it a small almost useless command, she still felt relieved that neither of the two rebelled her leadership.

Outside the airplane, Red, Sev and Blizkid sat on a bench in the middle of the exit terminal, Red was slouched in a sleeping position, his head covered again by his hood, Sev had his headphones attached to his ears and was bobbing his head along to, what the others assumed to be the beat of whatever song he was listening too and Blizkid was sitting up straight in his seat, he had a excited look on his face, a look that one could tell came from eagerness.

Seeing the others walking towards him, Blizkid tapped Sev on the arm, Sev slipped the headphones off of his ears and using his robotic arm raised Red's hood over his face, Red grunted and slowly opened his eyes, in front of him stood the other half of his team, Slack, Tag and Lightlad.

"Having a nice nap?" Lightlad asked cynically.

"I was…then you showed up" Red responded with an equal level of Cynicism in his voice, Lightlad smirked and was about to say something when Tag stopped him by putting her hand on his shoulder.

"So…we' heading out any time soon? Because I'm dying for a nice long nap in a snazy fancy bed" Sev said from his spot on the bench. Slack, realising that the power was in her hands, looked around the airport. To her right was a long hallway that had a bright green neon sign above it, the sign showed a picture of a suitcase with "Baggage Claim" written underneath it, to the left of the first picture was a second picture, this one showed a room with two doors, one opened the other closed and had "Washrooms" written underneath it.

Slack plotted her next course of action, the others, as well as herself, would need their possessions before they moved to the tower and seeing as how they, or at least she, had put whatever luggage they had on the plane instead of carry-on, they'd have to stop at Baggage Claim first.

"We should go get our stuff first" she said pointing towards the long hallway, the others nodded their heads slowly and began their trek down the hall, Slack led followed by Red, Blizkid, Lightlad, Tag and finally, Sev followed behind the group, his headphones attached to his ears and his head bobbing along to the beat of an excessively loud rap song, the lyrics of which consisted of a rapper repeating "Booty-Butt-Cheeks" over and over.

At the end of the hallway was a large white room, the room was practically empty, with little furniture littering the room, there was a T.V. in the farthest corner with several small chairs surrounding it. In the middle of the room sat a large 'U' shaped machine with a large conveyer belt on top of it, in the middle of the 'U' was an A.T.M. like machine made of a shiny silver metal, on the top of the machine was a small flat computer screen that displayed a picture of the 'U' shaped machine and had the words "Baggage Status" and "Soon" underneath the picture.

Red, Sev and Lightlad sat in three of the four seats that surrounded the T.V., Red sat with the chair positioned backwards so that he was leaning over the metal 'back' of the chair, the other two teens sat in their chairs normally aside from being stretched out lazily, all three were watching a kid's T.V. show that involved several puppets dancing around to a Tie-dye coloured background while a cheery song played, the music drowning out the cries of the other puppets.

"Change the channel, I hate this show" Red said as one of the puppets pulled out a large mallet and swung it at another puppet, the others didn't seem to share his opinion as they both burst into laughter.

"You just don't get it man" Sev said as he finished laughing. Onscreen the puppet who had just been hit by the mallet pulled out a larger hammer and swung it at the mallet clenching puppet.

"What's to get?…it's just some deformed puppets beating each other senseless with a background soundtrack that sounds like it's from circus or something, Hell I've had more fun watching laundry" Red said, Sev and Lightlad smirked.

"Man….you don't watch a lot of T.V. do you?" Sev asked from his chair. Lightlad who had stayed relatively quiet during the two's argument shifted his body into an upright position.

"Fine I'll change the channel…Anything to get you two to shut up" Lightlad said grabbing the remote off the small TV stand to his right.

He flipped through the channels at a speedy pace, one by one each show moved off the screen, replaced by images of fighting, explosions, gun fights and general violence, finally Lightlad stopped on a channel.

Onscreen a group of teen's, all dressed in ridiculously over exaggerated costumes, fought a villain who was dressed in an equally over exaggerated costume, each hero on the show looked vaguely familiar, as if the others had seen them before.

"What's this crap?" Red asked, he wasn't too fond of cartoons, having never seen any during his childhood and only as recently as two and a half years prior being exposed to them, he'd never caught on to the idea of 'animated' adventures, the closest thing to a cartoon he'd ever enjoyed were Curious George books which he read when he was younger.

"This is that new show…Extreme Teen's" Lightlad said pressing his thumb down on the 'Volume Up' button the remote, the volume increased and the area in which the TV could be heard increased.

"This looks really familiar" Sev said.

"Yeah, I'm getting that too" Red said.

Onscreen a teenaged character with spiky blonde hair, dressed in a blue, yellow and white costume pulled out a long silver staff and swung it around his body, the character looked incredibly familiar to the others, but so did the other characters on the show. To his right was a blue haired, light purple skinned, female character dressed in skimpy clothing, to her right stood a shorter and obviously younger character, he had dark blue skin, red hair and a completely green costume over his body, behind him stood a silent girl character, she had light black skin, green hair, a white leotard with a hooded cape attached to it finally to her left stood a tall white teen, his body was entirely made of machine, save for a few human parts littered across his body.

"This looks really familiar. I mean like Déjà Vu familiar" Sev said from his chair, there was something familiar about this characters, something he couldn't put his finger on.

"I think I know what you mean" Lightlad said.

Onscreen the obvious leader character was addressing his team mates by name, even they seemed familiar to both Lightlad and Sev, the first character, the male leader, was named "Sparrow", next, the girl to his right was named "Sun Flame", the teen to her right was "Monster Kid", the quiet girl was known as "Crow" and finally the robotic teen who looked much older than the others was named "Robot".

"I swear, I've seen that Sparrow kid before….I mean I know he's a cartoon character and all but still" Lightlad said. The others fell silent for some time before Lightlad switched the channel to a show called 'Cooking with Elzar Bam', a TV show that both Sev and Lightlad seemed to enjoy.

Across the terminal, Slack stood relaxed against a large glass window, to her right Tag and Blizkid sat in a pair of stools that were attached to a small table that in turn was part of a now closed restaurant, Tag and Slack were watching the other members of their team arguing playfully amongst themselves, Blizkid, on the other hand, sat with his head relaxed on his knuckles, staring blankly out the window at the small parking lot.

Tag spun backwards in her stool and was now facing Blizkid who was unaware of the change, she moved closer to him in a comforting way.

"Are you alright?" she asked startling Blizkid, he leapt slightly in his seat and turned towards her, she had a gentle smile on her face, it was weird to Blizkid to see someone so happy all the time.

"Yeah I'm fine" he said uneasily, Tag, while slightly naïve, could tell this wasn't the case.

"Please, Blizkid if you have any problems you can talk to me" she said putting a comforting arm around his shoulder, he looked up at her and began to speak.

"It's just, well back when I was living with the others, I never really did anything, the others didn't think I was 'fight worthy' and kept me at the tower when they went on missions, actually I think they kept me out of pity" Blizkid said and slumped his head downwards.

"What makes you say that?" She asked, Blizkid raised his head in excitement, no one had ever asked for his opinion before, well at least not many times.

"Well….when Robin and the others first found me I was being beaten up by a bunch of drunk college kid's…he saved me but didn't look to happy about it" Blizkid said uneasily, he wasn't all too sure that Robin really did like him, he'd gotten the feeling from time to time that Robin disliked him for not being able to stand up for himself and only put up with him due to both Starfire and Beastboy's liking of him, but it that wasn't his fault that he had little courage…was it?

"Blizkid, although I have not had the chance to watch you fight, I am more than sure that you will make a great addition to the team" Tag said encouragingly, Blizkid's frown quickly diminished, replaced by a joy filled smile.

Exactly after Tag had finished expressing her opinion on Blizkid's spot on the team, the computer in the middle of the 'U' shaped machine started to display the words "Unloading" and "Now", replacing the words "Baggage Status" and "Soon", shortly after the words prompted on the screen, the large grey conveyer belt was brought to life, it moved slowly around the 'U' shaped machine, causing a loud inhuman sound to be heard throughout the area.

All three of the T.V. watching teens turned their heads towards the machine, slowly each one got up and walked towards the machine, Red first, Lightlad second and Sev last. The trio reached the machine, were the other members, Slack, Tag and Blizkid, already stood patiently awaiting the machine to deploy their selected baggage.Slowly a large black backpack rolled out of a shoot attached to the machine, the bag was being dragged by the conveyer belt, bumping against the metallic curb of the machine, spinning it around in place.

Sev reached his arm towards the backpack, he gripped the leather handle on top of it and pulled it towards his body and he slung the bag over his right shoulder and awaited the rest of his baggage. Several more bags came out from the small shoot, two backpacks, both coloured a dark shade of pink, a large suitcase of the same colour, two smaller black suitcases, a light blue suitcase and finally a black duffle bag, the pieces of luggage slowly traveled towards the group. Each member grabbed their specific luggage, Tag grabbed the several pink coloured bags and suitcase, Lightlad grabbed one of the black suitcases, Slack the other, Blizkid the blue suitcase and Red the duffle bag.

"Where too boss?" Sev asked in a mock military accent, Slack smiled a fragment of a smile and pointed towards a large revolving door where the group could see what looked like a long black car parked in front of the door, judging by the size of the car and it's position closed to the door, the group could guess that this car was their 'pickup'.

"Right O' captain" Sev said this time using a mock British accent, Red smirked and both Blizkid and Slack smiled. Sev smiled to himself, they were starting to warm up to the 'Sev Charm'.

The group took a minute to wait for Tag who was piling bags on top of other bags in an effort to reduce the amount she had to carry; she wore the first pink backpack over her shoulder with the second relaxed on the suitcases long handle, finally when she finished the group, led by Slack, headed towards the revolving door.

As Tag walked towards the exit she felt the smaller bag on top of her suitcase slowly falling off the suitcase, she tried shaking the bag back on the suitcase but the small band holding it on snapped in half, the bag fell to the floor hard and landed with a 'thud'. The force of the fall opened the bag and several dozen of her personal belongings scattered across the floor, she sighed to herself, put down her suitcases, bent down and started picking things up. As she reached for a heart shaped alarm clock she felt someone else's hand already on it, she gazed upwards to see Lightlad smiling at her, holding the clock with his left hand.

"I thought you could use a hand" he said as he put the clock back in her bag, Tag smiled a kind smile and the two continued picking up the scattered objects, smiling at the other and hiding their growing blushes.

"Man…have you ever seen such a sappy couple?" Sev asked Red as they watched Tag and Lightlad, Red smirked before he and Sev continued to move towards the exit.

Slack was the first one to exit the building and the first one of the group to officially step into Hallow City. It was dark out, the sky was almost pitch black, with just the light of the lamp posts and star's illuminating the sky, she could see brief glimpses of the moon hidden behind the same building that Blizkid had seen from the plane, the moon light the building's frame up in an eerie way, giving it a bright blue glow that formed the shape of the building.

Slack took a deep breath of fresh air, that's when she noticed the first of many differences about Hallow City, the air, unlike the air in Jump City which was clean and tasted slightly of sea water, the air in Hallow City was more mechanical and almost felt like breathing through a snorkel, and unlike Jump City's sea water tasting air, the air in Hallow City had a distinctive metallic taste to it, though both of these differences wasn't a serious situation, it would just require some time to get used too.

The second difference was the temperature, Jump City had always been known for its hot weather and the fact that it hardly, if ever, snowed, leaving the casual attire to be in the range of shorts and a T-shirt, but in Hallow City the air was colder, cold enough to make wearing shorts and a t-shirt almost unimaginable, the attire was more suited towards Jeans and summer coats.

Soon after the Slack exited the building, the others began flocking out of the revolving door, Red, Lightlad, Tag, Blizkid and finally Sev, exited the building quickly and each one had a different reaction to both the climate change in Hallow City, Red looked more or less unmoved by the change in temperature, Lightlad shivered slightly, Blizkid comforted his body with his arms and Sev shivered slightly.

"Must be cold in that two piece uh?" Sev asked Tag. Tag, who was standing beside him, shivering slightly and had several dozen goose bumps along her arms, gave him a hard glare which he returned with a sarcastic smile.

"So is this our ride?" Red asked, in front of them sat a large black limousine, the limo had "Titen Pick up" written on the left hand window, it wasn't very inspiring to be picked up in a ride that spelt 'Titan' wrong, this was definitely a sign of things to come.

Suddenly the front door to the limo slammed opened fast and hard, the force practically knocking the door off its hinges, soon after, a short, scrappy looking man dressed in a black outfit including pants, suit and cap came out of the door. He had an unshaven face built up into a small stubble, big bushy eyebrows and possibly, from the lack of sideburns and any other form of hair on his forehead, a completely bald head that was hidden underneath his drivers cap.

"You the Titans?" he asked rudely, his voice carried a thick New York accent that, adding to his small height, made him seem humorous as apposed to serious.

"That'd be us captain" Sev said in his usual sarcastic tone, the driver shot him a dark glance and turned his head towards Slack, who he immediately identified as the leader.

"Well yer' late…twenty minutes late to be exact" he said, his comment directed at Slack as if it were her fault. Again his voice carried a rude tone with it.

"Hey short-stack, we're not paying you to insult us, so if you wouldn't mind how bout givin' us some damn courtesy!" Red said in a tone that could rival a growling grizzly bear.

The driver raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders and made his way around the limo towards the door that they stood in front of.

"There, I opened the door for ya', that courtesy enough? Or would you prefer I carried yer' ass all the way to the seat?" the driver asked rudely, Red gave a low pitched growl and curled his hand into a fist, though this action went unnoticed by the rest of the team.

Slack was getting fed up, not just with the driver, but with having to constantly stop to keep her team in check, she realized it was her job, but they could still show a little more decency for her sake.

"It's fine Sir. How about you just drive us too the tower, please" Slack said. The driver smiled half heartedly, tipped his cap and spoke.

"That's what I like to see, a nice woman with some manners. Right away miss" The driver said, again he tipped his hat in her direction, he closed the door silently and slowly made his way back to the drivers seat.

Slack smiled lightly and stared at Red who had his brows burrowed into a frown, she put a hand on his shoulder, his shoulders slumped downwards and he took a deep breath, it was weird, the one action seemed to change Red's mood drastically.

"It's O.K. Red, not everything has to be solved with violence you know" she said half jokingly and half seriously, Red shrugged his shoulders and turned towards her.

"Maybe your right" he said quietly, again Slack smiled, she could tell that Red was slowly, be it really slowly, opening up, letting his emotions be seen and heard instead of being buried inside himself, something that was good for not only his health but his sanity. Locking things up for too long had a tendency to cause serious psychological problems.

The trunk to the limo opened quickly and swiftly, the other's guessed this was a sign that the driver was tired of waiting around while they chatted, the group moved around to the back of the limo and piled their luggage in the back before Red slammed the trunk shut.

"So…shall we get going?" Tag asked as she stood in front of the open Limo door, Lightlad smiled, this was another one of his 'heart-warming' smiles that Tag seemed to enjoy so much.

"Why not" he said opening the door for her, she smiled at him as she got inside; Lightlad raised both his eyebrows and smirked.

"Ladies first" he said as Red was preparing to go in. Red shot him a glance and got in the car, again Lightlad smirked, soon after the entire team was inside the limo, which was much more comfortable than the seats in the airport.

The inside was decorated exquisitely, the long floor that led from the back seats to the front of the car was covered in a fancy carpeting, there were two TV's, both encased in a wooden frame, a small mini bar, also encased in a wooden frame and a large sunroof.

The seats were made of fine leather, much to the dismay of Tag, who put up quite the fight and fuss about sitting in the chairs, bringing up the subject's of animal torture, murder and abuse. Finally Lightlad calmed her down by telling her that the chairs were made of synthetic leather and that no cute animals were harmed for her to enjoy her seat, she seemed to buy the story and even took a seat beside Lightlad, much to his delight.

The window connecting the driver's seat and the rest of the limo rolled down and the driver poked his head through the small hole, his neck almost getting stuck in the process, he struggled for a minute, in a comical way that was, before he got it free.

"We'll be shippin' off now if you don't mind" he said, the others nodded their head's 'yes', he tipped his hat towards them before removing his head from the opening and rolling up the window.

Slowly they began to feel the car slowly moving; the others relaxed their tense bodies in the comfortable chairs and began to bask in the glory of being a Titan, they could really get used to being treated with such high level of respect.

The ride continued to be relaxing, Sev turned one of the small TV's on and started to watch the same show he, as well as Red and Lightlad, had been watching in the airport, Blizkid and Tag began playing a game of "Eye Spy" with Lightlad watching Tag with an admiring glare.

Red, still tired from a certain lack of sleep, raised his hood over his head and began to slowly feel himself drift off into a calming relaxing sleep when he felt a large object fall on his shoulder, he lowered his hood and stared at what had hit his shoulder, there to his right lay a sleeping Slack, with her sleeping head rested against his right shoulder, Red, not quiet un-enjoying this but still feeling rather uncomfortable, gently put his arm around her shoulder, in return she sleepishly put her right arm on his chest and murmured to herself in her sleep.

For the rest of the ride the teen's remained pretty much the way they were for the moment, Blizkid and Tag stopped playing 'Eye Spy' and instead started playing the 'Waving to Traffic' game, blissfully unaware that the tinted window only allowed for them to see the traffic instead of the other way around, Sev's show had finished soon after the car had started and instead of watching an episode of "The life and times of Krypto 'The super dog'." he switched the channel to a show about a foursome of friends living in an apartment building, meanwhile both Red and Slack remained very much asleep, each one resting on the other in an almost romantic way, had it not been for the short time period in which they knew each other most would think it was that way also.

Finally the car came to a stop, the front window again rolled down and again the driver stuck his head out, this time his rude angry face was replaced with what looked like a happy and almost glee filled face.

"Here we are, Titan's Tower: Hallow City….hope you enjoyed the ride…and don't forget to leave your driver a big fat tip" he said giddily, the others wern't paying any attention to him and competely missed his tip encouragement, much to his dismay.

In the back of the limo, Sev turned his head around, he saw Red and Slack in their current position and couldn't help but smile sheepishly, he raised his metallic arm and using his human hand slipped off a small flat semi-circular piece of his arm, that upon closer inspection, would reveal the device to be a small camera.

"Say cheese" he said as he raised it to his left eye, he pushed his index finger on a small nudge of metal that stuck out an inch from the camera, the camera made a 'Click' like noise and Sev smiled, he now had the proper evidence to blackmail the two should the need ever arise, sliding the piece of technology back into it's respective holder he nudged Slack's left arm then Red's head, both woke up slowly and stared at the other before Slack turned away and attempted to hide the blush that was building up on her face.

From where he was sitting, Lightlad tapped Tag on the shoulder, she spun around gracefully and faced him face-to-face, for a quick second he felt extremely weak in her presence, but that soon passed when he saw the childlike smile on her face.

"We should get going" he suggested, she nodded and he offered her his hand, she accepted it and he raised her body towards his, behind her Blizkid used the coat hanger above his head to raise his body upwards.

Sev opened the door and walked out, after him came Tag, Lightlad, Blizkid, Red and finally a no longer blushing but still shy Slack who closed the door behind her as she exited the limo.

The group grabbed their bags from the trunk, Lightlad had to help Tag with hers because they were 'too heavy' for her to carry, though he didn't seem to mind, in fact, to the untrained eye it looked as if he was enjoying it.

Behind the group, the driver, seeing the group uninterested in him or his tip, cursed colourfully and drove off down the long empty street that led towards the tower, his destination was back to the airport to pick up his next client.

The group stared in silence at the awe inspiring sight in front of their eyes, the Titan tower, their Titan tower was like nothing they had seen before.

The Tower itself stood within the base of a tall mountain that overlooked all of Hallow City, the roof of the tower was attached to the top of the mountain, giving it the perfect view of the entire city below it as well as the stars above it, down at the bottom of the small piece of land where the tower stood sat a large pond that acted as a sort of moat around the tower, with a large bridge connecting the sidewalk to the other side of the tower. Past the bridge was a small series of bushes that led all the way to the door of the tower, each one was shaped like a 'T' and had what looked like roses attached to them.

"Wow…they really weren't holding back when it came to designing this place" Sev said as he stood in front of the bridge.

The bridge itself had a small panel attached to it, there was a small glass covered button labelled "Emergency Raise/Lower" as well as lift and lowering buttons attached to the top of it.

The group crossed the bridge silently, making note of the several blue and red coloured fish that inhabited the small moat around the tower, this was like living a dream. It was everything anyone on the group could have possibly wanted from the tower and more.

Finally the group stood in front of the two large white and black trimmed metal doors that led to the inside of the tower, the doors were heavily polished, giving each member a perfect reflection of themselves, aside from the white tint in colour that was.

To the right of the door stood a small triangular panel, the panel had a small keypad on it as well as two small light bulbs, one green and the other red, above the keypad and lights was a small docking station, above that was a small illustration of a Titan Communicator being placed on the station.

Slack seemed to get what the picture was implying, she reached her left hand onto her utility belt and grabbed her yellow communicator, she placed it on the small docking station which caused a 'click-clock' noise, suddenly her communicator screen light up with a bright white glow and a voice from the speaker said.

"Hello….Slack. Please enter your entry code on the keypad below, the code is of your choice and must be no longer than four digits long, please make sure to tell your team-mates the code when you are done, they will need it in order to get in the tower" A mechanical voice from her speaker said, Slack placed her right hand over the small keypad and pushed her fingers down four times on four different keys.

"Thank you…Slack, you're code is: 2.1.1.2., please remember to tell your Team mates the code that is all" The communicator said before the screen went black and a "Clock-Click" noise was heard as the communicator unattached itself from the dock.

Slack grabbed her communicator with her right hand and brought it down to her utility belt, where she reattached it to it's respective click holder, she placed her now empty, right hand on the keypad and entered '2-1-1-2' on the key pad, the green light, light up and the door's opened slowly.

"Whoa" was all Sev could manage to say as he and the others gazed inwards at their new home.

The opened door revealed a long hallway that led to an elevator at the end of it, this may not have seemed awe inspiring to many, but the symmetrical design of the hallway, with both walls being made of the same light white coloured metal as the outside and the long red carpet that led to the elevator made up for the otherwise uselessness of the room.

The group proceeded down the hallway slowly, taking time to admire themselves in the refection of the wall. Finally after what seemed like ages to the group, they stood before the elevator. The two doors that led to the inside were made of the same metal that the walls were, to the right of the doors was a small wall-imprinted keypad with several small round buttons, though unlike a normal elevator's buttons, these ones had names instead of numbers, some of the many names read: Roof, Gym, Pool, Kitchen, Rooms and Lavatory. Though these were just some of the over a dozen of the buttons.

"Man this place kicks ass" Sev said pressing the button labelled "Rooms", a button that once pushed light up with a bright yellow glow.

The others stood in silence, awaiting the elevator, Sev lightly hummed to himself and Red kept shifting the weight of his body from leg to leg, this went on for a short while before the group heard a slight mechanical hum coming from the elevator shaft, soon after they heard a quick and mechanical hiss and finally the two elevator doors opened to reveal a large elevator, roughly twenty feet wide and long.

The group walked in to the elevator silently, not so much as a single word was spoken by any of them. Once inside, Slack pressed a button on the wall mounted keypad; this action caused a loud mechanical hum to be heard as the elevator was slowly lifted off the ground and began its slow trek upwards.

The group stood in silence as they waited for the elevator to finish its upwards trip, above their heads a rendition of "Don't Worry be Happy" played over the speaker and Sev couldn't help but hum along, the group stared at.

"What? I like this song" He said in his defence, the others slowly turned their heads back towards the front of the elevator, it seemed to be traveling of speeds that were inhumanly slow, like it was being dragged upwards by an army of snails.

"Don't worry…be happy…something, something, something else…da-da-da-da…be happy" Sev sang along, Lightlad rolled his eyes at his team-mates aloofness, not knowing the words was one thing, but Sev was just butchering the song with his lack of knowledge towards the lyrics.

The slow upwards ascent continued for a short while longer before the elevator finally came to a halt, the doors slid open to reveal a long hallway that split two ways at the end, making it look somewhat like a 'Y'. At the beginning and end of both split hallways were large handle less door's, each had a triangular keypad in place of a door handle. As there were two rooms on each side of the hallway, making the total amount of rooms eight, six rooms for them and two 'guest' bedrooms.

The group, led by Slack, walked down the hallway, dragging their luggage behind them, they stopped at the fork in the road and stared at their different options. Both sides seemed equal, aside from the fact that the last room on both the farthest left and farthest right side were significantly smaller than the others.

Red was the first to pick his room, he walked down the left hallway towards the last room, the large duffle bag tossed over his left shoulder, he stopped in front of the door and hit the '#' button and a tiny mechanical voice came from the speaker.

"Please create four digit password" It said, Red, using his right index finger he typed the numbers "1-9-7-8" on the keypad, this prompted the small screen to light green and the voice to speak again.

"Thank you" the mechanical voice said as the door opened, Red peered into his room, it was practically fully equipped, there was a nice army style bed with blue and white sheets, a large wooden desk with a computer attached to it, a bathroom to the right of the door and small table with a duo of chairs attached to the back room of the wall, Red was liking this, liking it a lot.

Blizkid took the room next door to Red's, aside from the size difference in the room's, Blizkid's was nearly twelve feet bigger than Red's which made it more spacious and open, the rooms were designed exactly the same and were both fully equipped the same.

Slack took up occupancy in the room directly across the hall from Blizkid's, her room, like Blizkid's, was large and open, with the same exact furniture as both of the other members.

In the right part of the split hallway Sev, Lightlad and Tag took up residence, Tag took the farthest room to the left side, beside her was Lightlad's room, it was no accident that the two were 'neighbours, as Lightlad went twelve rounds of Rock-Paper-Scissors with Sev for the rights to the room, by the twelfth game, Sev, getting tired of winning to Lightlad, gave him the room and took the room across the hall from him.

The group spent some time unpacking their possessions into their individual living quarters, Lightlad finished unpacking relatively quickly and helped Tag unpack, commenting on how her room would get "The perfect glance of the sun rising", though this seemed to be more of a way for him to flirt with her than actual care for the sun. Red was done unpacking in a matter of minutes and, being bored from a lack of 'things to do' decided to help with Blizkid then Slack's unpacking, Sev, having very little to unpack, decided to get acquainted with the technology of the tower, he spent his time hardwiring his own laptop along with the complementary computer and any other electrical devices he had at his disposal to the security station, that just so happened to be located in his room, allowing him full security access to the entire tower, now, should they ever be attacked, he'd be in full control of the security, though he didn't activate his new device, he was going to make sure he had full approval of both his leader and team-mates before he made executive decisions.

Finally, after roughly an hour, Slack and the others were finished unpacking, the time was now Eleven thirty at night, another half an hour and Slack would be completely drained of energy. She had what she liked to call a "Internal Clock" which decided when she woke, napped and called it quits, her 'clock' woke her up everyday at Eight in the morning giving her a eight hours of sleep, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad.

She walked sleepishly towards her walk in closet attached to the corner of her room, she had a long day ahead of her tomorrow and she had to make sure she was prepared for it, she slowly undressed, taking off her utility belt and hanging it up on a small rack, then her costume and hunk it up on a coat hanger, she replaced her costume with a pair of white cotton pajama pants and matching shirt, she walked out of the closet and headed towards her bed. Once there she fell face first onto the bed, too tired to cover her body with the sheets, she curled up into a comfortable position and slowly drifted off to sleep, tomorrow was going to be an exciting and eventfull day.


Well that's Chapter Five for you, Chapter Six should be up soon (Sooner than five that is) due to the fact that It's practically half of a half way done, so expect a update soon...er, Now for some Trivia.

This chapter took the shortest while to write out of all of the chapters, it only took me about three and a half weeks including, breaks, school, work and yada-yada-yada.

The Limo Driver was supposed to be a Danny DeVito like character (Though I'm sure I really missed the nail on this one), so if he seems familiar (I don't know how he would...I'm just saying) that's why.

The T.V. show's Sev watches are all references to other shows, The Puppet Show is supposed to be a reference to the disturbing puppet show that's frequently shown on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Extreme Teen's was made as a sort of parody of both The Teen Titans and show's that try to 'Cool Out' their characters, though the latter is less apparent in this chapter (But don't worry, I'm not done with The Extreme Teens yet), also it's a slight parody "Wormhole Extreme" a show within a show on Stargate SG-1 (Sorry if that sounded nerdy), 'Cooking With Elzar Bam' is a reference to Elzar the alien chef in Futurama and his catchphrase "Bam!", 'The Life and Times of Krypto the Super dog' is a reference to the awful new Krypto show on the air (or maybe it's cancelled).

The Song Sev listens to is "Booty-Butt-Cheeks" a song by fictional rapper Gangstalicious in the show The Boondocks, I thaught I'd add it for kicks to the fans of that show who might so happen to read this chapter.

Slack's code 2112 is a reference to the Song/Album 2112 by Rush (One of my favourite bands) and Red's code 1978 is a reference to the year that both Groucho Marx (One of my favourite actor's) and Elvis Presley (One of the best singer's of all time) died, (Elvis Three days after Groucho...creepy huh?)

"Don't Worry Be Happy" playing in the elevator is a reference to a scene in the new (and awful) Dawn Of The Dead remake. (I put it in for kicks and nothing else)

Since this is a Two-Parter, I included some things that may not make sense unless you read part 2 (Which isn't out yet) these things include the large blue building that both Blizkid and Slack stare in awe at and...well that sums it up actually, but if theres any thing else that doesn't make sense in this chapter, It'll probabbly be solved next chapter..unless it isn't, in which case it'll never be solved (I'm kidding of course)

Next Chapter: Our heroes face their first day in Hallow City and learn that Hallow City may need more help then they can give as they face off against two impending dangers, the first is Biogen, a genetics company that happens to be Hallow City's number one source of income but Biogen has a less than noble agenda when if comes to their experiments, Biogen also happen to be led by a man who has various ties to Hallow City's seedy underworld. Their second problem lies in one such tie, a gang of vicious street teens called The Reapers who are led by a group of super powered teens with their minds set on not just beating the Titans but destroying them.
