Phoenix chpt. 5 sadly I do not own the Teen Titans , because if I did the show wouldn't have ended and the ending would have been WAY better, but enough about me, lets get on with the story!

Phoenix had only rested for 20 minutes before Robin walked in the common room holding his bo staff.

"Are you ready for your next training session Phoenix?" asked Robin who was now twirling his bo staff

"Yea sure why not, I guess since I haven't died of exhaustion yet I guess that means I'm not doing half bad." said Phoenix who was now getting off of the couch walking towards Robin. She waved at everyone as she was being lead to the training room with Robin.

"Don't die!" yelled a laughing Cyborg

"I'll try!" she yelled back making Beast boy and Cyborg laugh and made Raven chuckle just a little.

As soon as Phoenix and Robin got to the training room, she was actually surprised at what she saw. nothing. all she saw was a flat wrestling mat and punching bags in the back of the room. She looked at Robin with confusion written all over her face.

"I thought you were going to make me run some crazy obstacle course?" said a confused Felicia

"Nope, you and I are going to spar and I will help correct your mistakes as we go along and if you do manage to pin me, then we can end training early. replied Robin. He chose sparring because just in case she would try to betray them in the future, Robin wanted to get a sense of where her weak spots were so that it would be easier to take her down. He didn't want to think about her betraying them since she seemed to be a nice girl that the whole team had taken a liking to, but after the Terra incident, he hadn't been very open to new people (who don't know their own strengths) to come looking to them for help.

Robin walked to the center of the mat and got into his defensive stance and motioned for her to meet him at the mat. She stood their looking at him confused for a couple of seconds and then walked to the center of the mat and took her own defensive stance. Robin then sent a swift kick to her face but she ducked it and swept her leg under his which made him fall.

"Very good, where'd you learn how to do that?" asked a slightly amused Robin

"Huh? oh yea...I took karate for a couple of years after gymnastics, I became a black belt and then I dropped out."stated Phoenix as she sent a kick towards his stomach but he dodged it by jumping back.

"Oh really? how come you dropped out?" he then sent a couple of punches of her way almost connecting with her face but she used her arms to block them and she then did the same to him, sending punches but he dodged them.

"I didn't want to continue learning because I thought, hey? when am I really gonna need to do a backwards kick in the air when you live in a suburban city and the only bullies are hormonally crazy teenage boys. " replied Phoenix as she did a back flip to avoid Robin's fist. She was right by a wall when she noticed that Robin was coming at full speed towards her, when he was about ten feet from her she jumped on and then off the wall landing on the other side of him, surprising him and then delivering a kick making him crash into the wall. He got off the wall, dusted himself off and extended his hand to her. She took it carefully but then was flipped and she fell on the ground with Robin standing over her.

"You were doing great until you took my hand.." said Robin

"Yea I guess I forgot the first rule in fighting, don't trust anyone." replied Phoenix as she got up and dusted herself off. He nodded

"Yes but overall you did really well, its actually been a while since someone has surprised me with their moves that wasn't a villain." chuckled Robin. Phoenix smiled and her and Robin started practicing more on kicking and punching techniques.

When they both walked back into the common room after an hour and a half of training, they noticed that Cyborg was reading the paper and Beast boy was in the form of a kitten sleeping in Raven's lap as she quietly read her book, The Blue of his Eyes.

"Hey guys, we're back from training." said Robin trying to get everybody's attention. Raven looked up from her book and Cyborg looked up from the paper and noticed that Phoenix was sweating but was still in one piece.

"So you survived?" said Cyborg trying to hold back a chuckle as he watched the girl almost collapse in the chair.

"Yea I did surprisingly, thought I was going to a couple of times though." replied Phoenix but she chuckled at her own joke as did Cyborg and Robin.

"You didn't almost die, you were fine, but hey where's Star?" asked Robin he didn't see her when they came in.

"Oh she went to the workout room to practice because you guys were in the training room." said BB after he turned back to his human form.

"Oh ok,so BB I guess its your turn for training her." replied Robin. "I'm going to check on Star I'll be back later." he then started walking out the room.

"You mean make out with her" muttered Beast boy under his breath

"I heard that!" yelled Robin as he was walking into the hallway making Beast boy widen his eyes as they watched him leave.

"All righty then, I guess it's time for you and me do to some shape shifting Phoenix." said BB as he was walking towards the exit. Phoenix looked up at him and nodded and followed him out the door slightly wondering if this next session would be as hard as the last three.

Beast boy lead brought them both to the backyard. He came to the backyard because it gave him enough room to change into different size animals without having to choose between animals that would be able to fit in a small space.

"Ok so this is how you do it, you concentrate on the animal of your choice which in this case is the phoenix, you focus on the details of the animal like the color the general shape and stuff like that." stated Beast boy

"Well I've only seen my bird form once but I'll try..." replied Phoenix. she then started to concentrate on what her bird form looked like. she thought of orange feathers, orange beak, made of fire...and then she felt something, like her bones were shifting their shape, and then it all stopped.

"Well done flames, you are now a Phoenix." stated Beast boy. Phoenix opened her eyes and she noticed that BB looked way taller than he normally was, he was already tall but he looked like a giant now but when she looked at her 'hands' she noticed that they were orange wings. She then flapped her wings and tried to speak but all that came out was a squawk.

"Yea...you won't be able to talk in your animal form, I should know I've tried." he then transformed into a bald eagle and started showing her how to fly by flapping his wings and lifting himself into the sky. She then copied his movements and she started to fly. She already sorta knew how to fly but this was different. Beast boy then shifted back to his normal self.

"Okay, now that you know how to shift, we need to work on how to use your bird powers. Rae said that phoenixes have fire powers so we're going to figure out what they are. As if to answer his question, Phoenix started to breathe fire.

"...okay so you can breathe fire...cool, well now we get to my favorite part of today's session." the bird gave him a puzzled look obviously not knowing what he was getting at.

"Your gonna have to learn how to fight and escape in this form, hand-to-hand combat can only get you so far in the crime fighting world, unless you know...your Robin...or Batman...anyway" Beast boy then turned into a T-rex and let out a roar startling the bird and causing her to fly away. He then started to chase her around the island biting and clawing at her. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't terrified that a green tyrannosaurus was chasing her but then something clicked in that bird brain of hers, she flew a head of him just so that she was at a safe enough distance to turn around without her getting accidentally bitten, and she started blowing fire at him making him stop dead in his tracks and start backing up. She smirked inwardly at herself for coming up with this ingenious plan but she continued to blow fire his way. As she moved forward, he would move backward, eventually he turned back to his normal form and so did she.

"Well done young padawon," said BB in a fake Japanese accent while bowing.

"Thank you master Jedi" replied Phoenix as she returned the bow. They both started laughing as they headed back up to the common room.

The two walked into the common room seeing the gang all together watching tv. Starfire was the first one to notice that they had returned from their training.

"How was the training from friend Beast boy friend Phoenix?" the others turned around and noticed that they had just come in.

"It was good, I had fun but now I'm starving." smiled Phoenix as she started walking to the counter, she then jumped on and sat on it finding an apple and eating.

"Yea you didn't do half bad either Flames." said Beast boy as he grabbed a banana and sat at the table.

"So what's for dinner Cy?" asked Robin who was in fact a little hungry himself. In fact most of the Titans were hungry from helping train their new friend all day.

"I was going to make mac and cheese, something simple but not that heat up in the microwave crap like real homemade mac and cheese ." replied Cyborg heading towards the kitchen and putting on his chef's hat and apron.

"Oh I love mac and cheese! said an excited Phoenix.

"Really?" asked Raven and Cyborg

"Yea! my mom would make it for me a lot when I was little, she would make pasta a lot for me when I was in sports but mac and cheese was one of my favorites." replied Phoenix who had a childish smile on her face which made Cyborg get a grin on his face which the other Titans seemed to notice.

"That's really cool." said Robin smirking at the look that his robotic friend had on his face. Beast boy looked at Robin and then to Cyborg and then to Robin and to Cyborg again and realized why his leader was smiling which made him have a bigger smile than Robin.

"What are you boys smiling at?" asked Raven who knew exactly what was going on but was still wondering why they all had those weird looks on their faces.

"Oh...nothing Rae-Rae just a little inside joke." said Beast boy who was trying to hide his laughter as was Robin.

"Okay...but don't call me Rae-Rae." replied Raven with a serious face.

After dinner...

"Well...I'm stuffed guys and thanks for the hospitality from yesterday I'll just go and I'll be back tomorrow." said Phoenix as she got up from the table but before she could reach the door, it was closed shut by dark magic.

"Where are you going friend Felicia?" asked a confused Starfire

"Well I thought you guys were only letting me stay for last night since it was storming and all so I thought because it isn't storming today that I should go and come back tomorrow for training." explained Phoenix

"What made you think that?" asked Robin. Phoenix then sat back down in her chair seeing that she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"I guess I just assumed." replied Phoenix

"Well we've decided as a team, that you should stay with us. We trust you and we realized that after your training was over, what better place to try them out and improve them than staying here at the Tower." said Robin. the rest of the team just nodded in response agreeing that they wanted her to stay. As she saw all of the Titans agree on having her part of the team she started to tear up because she never had met so many nice people at one time.

"You guys really want me to stay with you?"

"Of course! we would love to have you apart of our family friend Phoenix!" said Starfire

"Well I guess I'll stay since I got nowhere else to go." smiled Felicia as the Titans then got out of their seats and gave her a group hug with Starfire almost crushing them all.

"So...who wants to watch a movie!?" shouted Cyborg as he raced towards the Blue-Ray Player.

"I do!" shouted BB and Starfire in unison as they both ran to their seats on the couch with Raven and Robin trailing behind them and Phoenix still standing and smiling.

"Hey, you coming?" asked Robin. She nodded and started walking towards the couch. She started thinking about she had just met these guys only twenty-four hours ago and now they were taking her in like a lost puppy and welcoming her into their family. She wanted to believe that this was her new family but it just didn't feel like a family without one special person...

How'd you guys like it? I hoped I left it a little suspenseful

Next chapter will be on her training with Cyborg and then her big final exam! I'll update soon ;)
