AN: Chapter 2! I have too much free time on my hands right now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans.

STORYTIME!


Annabel Castillo, a sixteen-year-old member of the Justice Teens, walked carefully across one of the rickety wooden bridges in their base camp, trying not to drop the baskets of repaired weapons that she was carrying. She was glad that they had a couple of JTs who were practically metal smithing protégés, because they definitely would have run out of weapons by now.

Coming to Genevieve, one of her friends' rooms, she gently set down one of the baskets, trying to keep her long black hair from getting in her face. She tapped on the door. Nothing.

"Gen! Weapon delivery! Open the door!"

The door swung open, revealing the flustered redheaded warrior. "Sorry, An! I thought it was Jerry again!"

Annabel laughed and set down the basket in Gen's room. She rummaged through it until she found the pair of nunchucks that her friend used.

"How exactly did you break those again?" Annabel laughed, handing them to Gen, who quickly checked them over.

"I told you, Ken accidentally hit the chain with his sword."

"Right. Accidentally. Not to get your attention or anything."

"Shut up!" Gen shoved Annabel lightly. "How many more deliveries do you have to do?"

Annabel gave her a look.

"Right. I'll help."

Annabel picked up her basket and walked through the door, followed by Gen, who picked up the other basket.

"So, are you ready for lessons with Robin?" Gen teased, elbowing Annabel.

Annabel groaned. "No. No I'm not. Can I just say that I injured my shoulder?"

Gen laughed and shook her head. "Nuh-uh. It's mandatory and you know it."

"…family…cousin…fire."

Annabel froze as she heard the whispers. She knew they were talking about her.

It was true that most of the Justice Teens had unfinished business with the Kingdom. But nobody had more reason for revenge than Annabel. The Kingdom had taken the lives of her whole family and had tried to take hers too, chasing her into this forest when she was only ten.

"An?" Gen said quietly. "You okay?"

Annabel snapped out of her fog and nodded, putting a fake smile on her face. "Yeah, I'm good."

Gen didn't look convinced. "You know, you can just skip lesson. I'll cover for you."

Annabel shook her head. "No. I can't let a few memories mess with my head."

They came to a split path in the bridge.

"An, how about I deliver the ones on the left, you deliver the right."

"Good plan." Annabel called, already walking up to the first room on the left side.

"Hey!" Gen yelled. Annabel smirked and rapped her knuckles on the door.

"Hey, Kyle! It's An, weapons delivery!"

She tapped the door a few more times before she heard her comrade muttering, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

The door opened slightly. Kyle stuck his head out. "What's up An?"

She raised her eyebrows. "What are you hiding?"

"Wh-what? I'm not hiding anything."

His arm suddenly darted foreword,

snatching up the pair of knives on top of the pile and he quickly tried to shut the door.

Annabel caught his wrist and forced the door open. She stared.

"Oh. My. God."

There was a German Shepherd puppy on the floor.

She gave him a long look. Then she glanced from the puppy to Kyle's pleading expression and said simply, "Fine."

She walked out the door, shaking her head. Why couldn't someone else deal with her friends' problems?

After going from room to room, she finally reached the last room and the last weapon. She stopped a new JT member on the bridge. He stared at her with wide eyes.

"Hey, which way are you going?"

"Uh, d-down to the mess hall, ma'am."

"Good, could you take this to the smith's room? It's right next to the mess hall."

"Y-yes ma'am!" He saluted her and ran away with the basket at top speed.

She rolled her eyes. Newbies.

Holding the remaining weapon, she gently opened the door to Robin Hood's room.

She carefully set the wooden bow leaning against the wall and walked over to the bookshelf. She smiled as she picked up the framed photo of herself and Danny. Her smile faltered, and softly set the picture back face-down.

"What are you doing?"

Annabel spun around, stunned that someone could sneak up on her like that. She stared at the silhouetted figure in the doorway before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Hi, Jim."

"Hey." He walked across the room. "You didn't answer the question."

She shrugged. "Weapon's delivery." She waved her hand in the general direction of the bow. "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"I could say the same for you. Lesson started five minutes ago."

"Crap! Come on, let's hurry up a-"

She was cut of by the loud bellow of a hunting horn.

"ROBIN! THE SCOUTS SAY THE KINGDOM'S AT THE JEWELRY STORE!"

Fast as light, Annabel ran into her room and threw on her uniform in under a minute, pulling on her mask as she opened the door. Jim was standing there.

"Ready?" He asked.

She grinned as she grabbed her bow and quiver. "Let's show the King how common folk have fun."


AN: Yes, Robin Hood's a girl. We'll learn more about her later. Next chapter is back to the Teen Titans.

Hope you like the story so far, and peace out.
