The Next Generation

Chapter 5: Midnight Call

"You know, Blaze, we really should get more team members. We just don't have enough to beat anyone." Lucious said as the two boys walked down the hall.

"Yeah, we do. I think I know who to call, too!" Blaze laughed.

"Who?" Lucious asked curiously.

"Why, the children of the other Titans!" Blaze stated as both boys laughed.

"Terra and Tawny will kill us, but it's worth it!"

"What do you mean we'll kill you?" Tawny asked as she and Terra snuck up behind them. Terra was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, complimentary of Tawny.

"Nothing. Just guy talk." Blaze replied as his cousin cornered him.

"Yeah, just guy talk." Lucious added.

"Sure." Tawny replied in her cold, sarcastic voice.

"Look, Lucious and I really need showers, we just worked out. So, we'll be in the shower room, bye!" Blaze muttered as he flew off.

"Gotta go, girls." Lucious grinned as he ran after Blaze.

"They're up to something." Tawny replied, eyes narrowed.

"Duh! They're up to something. It's kinda obvious." Terra agreed.

"Whatever. Let's go play some game station."

Later that night, in the confidence of Blaze's room: (Robin's old room)

Blaze gently pressed a button on his Titan communicator. Forest green eyes appeared on the tiny screen. "Can you two make it?" Blaze whispered into the communicator.

"Sure!" Came a spunky voice.

"Speak for yourself." Came another, more calm voice. Dark purple-bluish eyes appeared on the screen. "Oh, it's you, Blaze. Yeah, we'll be there."

"Get off! I want to talk to him!"

"I'm warning you!" Came the girl's voice. Suddenly, black light filled the screen and a yelp went off. Then the communicator shut off.

"They have some serious family issues." Blaze chuckled as he rolled over and went to sleep.
