AN: Ladies and gentlemen I give you episode two of the original Teen Titans show. As you've probably noticed I've messed with the order of things a bit, but I'm only keeping the stuff important to the plot. Which means that 'Sisters' is important to what's going to happen. Don't forget to vote on that pole I've been mentioning, you only have three to four weeks left to vote. Also I've done a design change on Beast Boy, the purple now turns into a belt shape that ends at a tip instead of shorts, and the short sleeve thing is now just shoulder pads that lead to long black sleeves.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Earth 16, DCAU, DC Comics or anything else used to inspire this story.
21:30 JULY 4TH 2014 JUMP CITY PIER
I sat in the fares wheel wearing my usual jacket jeans combination, a pair of dark sunglasses hiding my eyes. Kori was sitting on my right, looking at the fireworks that were being launched from the boats in the bay.
"Beautiful, tell me again what they are called." Kori said, turning around to look at me with her big green eyes. She was wearing her usual pink mini skirt and a white tank top that made me forget about that bad breakup a few months ago.
"Fireworks." I answered happily, leaning against the edge of the seat we were in right before the next round of fireworks started.
"On my home planet such explosions would mean the Gordanians were attacking." She said gloomily, sitting back into the red cushioned seat. "You are certain Earth is not under attack."
"Positive." I answered, laughing a little bit as I did. "Cotton candy?" I asked, offering her some of the pink fluffball I'd bought while we were still on the ground.
"The last time I ate a ball of cotton it was white, and it didn't…" she began before I cut her off.
"This is different." I said, grabbing off some of the puffed out sugar and throwing it in my mouth.
Kori did the same, moaning happily as she chewed on it before letting the taste set in. "it vanished!"
"Yeah, it'll do that." I said, chuckling a little bit at how naïve she was. 'she kind of reminds me of m'gan.'
"when I first came to this planet I did not think I would fit in." she began, a small smile on her face. "Earth was full of strange things, but now I see that…"
The finale of the fireworks began and I was drawn out of the conversation by the excitement. "Here comes the finale, yes! Whoohahoo, ah amazing!"
"Earth is full of amazing things to." She finished as the fireworks finished and I leaned back again.
"Best planet I've ever been to." I said smiling and looking at the red haired alien. Then some purple tentacle thing swooped in and pulled her out of the seat.
"Kori-And'r!" I shouted as the thing with tentacles pulled her into the sky. I ripped off my civilian close, took my mask out of my utility belt and slapped it onto my face right before I jumped down, grappling to the ground. When I landed I saw the rest of the Titans in front of a game booth, Raven holding a giant chicken. "Titans, trouble!"
"Where's Kori?" Cyborg asked as he slammed his rings together, changing into his true form, Beast Boy doing the same, Raven just morphing her close into her uniform with some kind of magic.
"That's the trouble." I answered, turning around and heading towards the edge of the pier. When we made I glansed back to see that everyone had followed, which for some reason included a now floating chicken. When I looked back I saw Star Fire flying towards us, her tank top having been burned off to reveal the top of her uniform, and a mechanical squid not too far behind her. She launched a few star bolts at it, but from the distance we were standing it didn't seem to be having much of an effect.
"Who's her new best friend?" Beast Boy asked as they flew by us, none of us too worried about our alien team mate.
"I don't know, but I can't wait to meet him." I said, taking out my Escrimas and flipping them into combat mode.
The two of them flew back our way, Star Fire making it a few seconds before hand. Beast Boy tried to attack as a crocodile but missed, Raven through a hotdog cart at it but it only managed to slow it down enough for cyborg to catch the thing.
"I don't know what you did to make this thing mad Star, but it couldn't hurt to apologize." Cyborg said as he held the machine at bay.
"I am, sorry." She said from behind me, a little confused in what to do. I however knew exactly what this required. The creature broke free of Cyborgs arms just as I flipped my escrimas around. I charged the thing and smacked it with the electrified tips of the escrima, sending it into the water.
Beast Boy walked up to edge, trying to see if he could find anything. "So, did we just win?" and just as he asked the mechanical squid busted out from under the docks, ready to fight anew.
I jumped on top of it, looking around to see if there was any way to shut it down. "Don't see an off switch, guess I'll have to make one." I smacked my Escrima on to part of the shell, breaking it easily and electrifying part of the circuit board. I jumped off as the machine started to spazz, and just as I landed it exploded in the sky above the pier. "Whatever that thing was, it can't hurt you now."
"but, why did it wish to hurt me at all?" she asked sadly, obviously not used to being attacked by lunatics who didn't have a reason for doing things, they just kind of did them.
23:00 JULY 4TH 2014 TITANS TOWER
As we walked into the main room of the tower Kori started talking. "come friends, I shall thank you for my rescue by reciting the poem of gratitude, all six thousand verses."
My eyes widened an my mouth dropped in pure horror at what she was saying. 'I've listened to the joker read the entirety of the Christmas Carol and this sounds far worse than that.' I thought, noticing to black haired heads sitting on the couch.
"I see you haven't changed a bit." One of them said, standing up and turning around to reveal her face. She had long hair and a steel tiara just above her purple eyes, including the cornea, simple unplucked eybrows, and purple painted lips. She had on a metal Egyptian style bracer similar to Kori's but with three purple gems instead of the one green. She had on a black belly shirt that ended with a purple cord, her abdomen covered by metal rings similar to the way Kori was when we first found her. She had a large purple belt with a metal circular clasp right above her black short shorts that led to another metal band that led strait to her high black boots with purple lining the top and soles. She had metal bands running down her arms until they reached her black gloves that didn't at all cover her fingers or palm and had purple lining the top. "When we were little I was always rescuing Kori-Ander."
"It's true, she's told me tons of stories." Another familiar voice said as the other black haired figure jumped over the couch. It was Jason, wearing his usual leather clothing, though this time he was wearing a black t-shirt with a red batman symbol on it. "I mean Kori's gotten into so much trouble over the years."
"Ahhh, sister." Kori said as she ran up to hug the girl leaning against the couch. "And Dick's little Brother."
"Brought you a present." The girl said, holding up a large green hexagonal gem.
"A Centaury moon diamond." Kori said, seeming to be rather surprised to see something like this. "where did you get…"
"On the Centaury Moons of course." Jason interrupted, mimicking the girls pose.
"Oh look it matches your eyes." The girl said as she tied the gem around Kori's neck.
"You must meet my friends!" Kori said happily, pulling her towards us, Jason following close behind. "I'd like to introduce my big sister…"
"I'm Kom-And'r, but you can call me Black Fire." The girl said, walking up in front of Kori. "And since Jay here told me all about the Titans, let me guess, Cyborg AKA Victor."
"Pleased to meet ya little lady." Victor said, reaching out his hand for a handshake, which Kom-And'r happily agreed to, denting Cyborgs hand. "Little lady, big handshake, well all right."
Koom-And'r quickly moved on to Raven. "Raven, I like that gem stone on your azmachakra." She said, smiling down at the girl holding a massive chicken.
"YOU KNOW ABOUT CHAKRAS?" Raven asked, loosening her tight grip on the chicken.
"I got really into meditation on Altara Prime." She said, grinning down at the shorter girl. "Garfield, what's up?"
"Nothin but the ceiling baby." He said, pointing up towards the ceiling, coaxing a laugh out of Kom-And'r. "see, she thinks I'm funny."
"statistically, I suppose someone has to." Raven responded, a hint of anger in her now monotone voice.
"And you must be dick, AKA Robin." She said, walking up to me as I looked at my little brother who had a sly grin on his face. "Oh I am loving this cape, it is positively luscious."
"Thanks, it's a high density polymerized Titanium; ten times stronger than steel." I said, forgetting about Jay's smile almost completely.
"Fascinating." She said, actually seeming interested in my cape even though most people only asked how I used it to glide. "and this mask makes you look very mysterious."
"Beloved sister, what brings you to Earth?" Kori asked, getting in-between Kom-And'r and I.
"I was in the quadrant, thought I'd see if Earthlings like to party?" she answered, walking back to the couch and jumping over it.
"How about you Jay, what are you doing in Jump City?" I asked, looking down at the young teen.
"Bruce got drunk at a party so Al sent me here, and Helena's at Selina's place." He answered, doing a front tuck over the couch after he finished his sentence. "I was going to be out of here by tomorrow, but now that Kom's here I might just stay a while, maybe go to a party or something. We'd probably be gone if she hadn't almost been sucked into a black whole."
"Black whole, no way." I said, quickly walking over to her, followed closely by Garfield and Victor.
"Okay, I'm cruising through the druconous nebula and..." She said, imitating a flying motion with her arm as she did so.
"Sister, the Druconous Nebula is full of black holes." Kori interrupted, worry filling her voice. "You know travel there is forbidden."
"Most fun things in life are." Jason said, stretching his arms out on the back of the couch.
"Now be a sweaty and bring us some of those 'sodas' Jason's told me so much about." Kom-And'r continued for him, it was almost eerie how in sink those two were. "so anyway, I was zooming over the event horizon, approaching light speed when all of the sudden a Centaury police cruiser caught me in its tractor beam. The power of the beam wasn't enough though, so I had to help them out a bit by shooting lasers from my eyes into the black hole to give us some extra momentum."
"whoa, I didn't know Tamaranians could shoot lasers!" Garfield said, excitement plain to hear on his voice. "All Kori can do is shoot Star Bolts."
"Well I always have been a faster learner than little Kori." Kom-And'r said, sounding a little conceded to me, but I wanted to hear the rest of the story so I was willing to put up with it.
14:00 JULY 6TH 2014 TITANS TOWER
"That's perfect Dick." Kom-And'r said, placing my hands around her waist. "now hold me just like that and, hiyaaaaaah." She screamed just before she through me onto the mats we'd set up on the floor."
"Nice one Dicky Bird, beaten by a girl once again." Jay said from the corner of the room where he stood, leaning against the wall. "Maybe tomorrow you can fight a baby."
"Real funny Jay." I said sarcastically as I stood up and looked at my bare shoulders for any matt burns. "How about you go a round with Kom."
"hello Dick, and my sister, and Dicks brother." Kori said as she walked into the training room to see me in my karate pants and Kom in short shorts and a compression gear tank top that only went just below her chest. "am I interrupting."
"Not at all, Kom-And'r was just showing me some alien martial arts." I answered, picking up my white karate shirt. "How come you never taught me these cool moves?"
"Yeah, why didn't you teach Dick any of these moves?" Jason asked suspiciously.
"Probably because she doesn't know them." Kom-And'r answered for her, gesturing to herself at the end. "I always was the better fighter. Come on I'll show you the technique I once used to stop a raging Blorfnax."
Jayson
"Don't worry Kori, it's not like fighting crime is all about taking out bad guys." I said, a big grin on my face. "Oh wait that is what fighting crime is about. Don't worry; I'm sure Dick would never kick his girlfriend off the team."
"But, I am not Dick's girlfriend." Kori said sadly, looking down at the floor. "Do you think they are going to replace me?"
"I don't know Kori, but it definitely looks that way." I said, putting on a fake frown. "I really hope he doesn't though, the world needs a hero like you who understands what it's like to be week."
14:35 JULY 6TH 2014 TITANS TOWER
I was laying in one of the guest bedrooms, looking up at the ceiling when the door opened.
"Nice work Jay, it looks like Kori really bought what you said." Kom-And'r said as she walked into the room. "I'm sure that when she asks Dick about this he'll comfort her and they're trust will be stronger than ever."
"Yeah, about that." I said, sitting up to look at her. She had changed into her other close but the metal parts had been taken off so that it looked almost exactly like Star Fires. "Why exactly do you think they need to increase their trust?"
"Because, a team is nothing without trust." She answered, playing with her hair in the reflection of the window. "Without it they'll fall apart."
"Yeah, but they already seem to trust each other a lot." I retorted, starting to get annoyed by her plan. "If this doesn't work than we could just be making things worse for them."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." She said as she crawled up onto my bed and over my legs until her nose was touching my cheek. "I'll handle everything."
"bu…" I was cut off by her kissing me and then every worry I'd had just vanished from my mind as she pushed me down onto the bed.
Dick
22:00 JULY 6TH 2014 TITAN TOWER
ALL THE Titans besides Kori were sitting on the couch, watching some T.V, Jayson on the only chair in the room other than in the kitchen area.
"Friends, I invite you to join me in the togetherness of a stay home movie." Kori said as she walked in the room, wearing a short purple dress. "I bring you popcorn and none cotton candies. Tell me, what sort of movie shall we view?"
"Action."
"comedy"
"Sci-fi"
"horror"
"Perhaps a double feature." Kori responded, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings as usual.
"Forget the flicks kids, we're going out." Kom-And'r said, walking into the room wearing a black version of Kori's dress.
"We are, where did you…, is that mine?" Kori asked as her sister walked by her.
"heard about a party down town." Kom-And'r said, stopping right behind the couch. "Cool crowd, hot music."
"yeah." Garfield said excitedly, jumping over the couch and going to the counter to grab his rings.
"I'm in." Victor said simply, slowly standing up to head to his room where he stored his rings.
"Why not." I answered, leaning back and looking over at Jay. "Besides, we could all benefit from getting out of the tower."
"And what about you Raven?" Kom-And'r asked, looking at the girl reading a book. "It's in a creepy rundown warehouse." Raven then looked up, apparently intrigued.
I stood up and jumped over the couch, following Raven to the door, Garfield not far behind.
23:00 JULY 6TH 2014 ABANDONED JUMP CITY WAREHOUSE
"Step aside Earthlings, the queen of the galaxy has arrived." Kom-And'r said as we walked towards the center of the dance floor.
We had all put on something appropriate for a party, and I had made the poor decision of letting Jay help me out. He had lent me a compression gear shirt with a blue silhouette of an eagle on it, and that was all, sadly it seemed to work in the crowd we were in.
"now don't tell me you big tough super heroes are afraid of a little dancing." Kom-And'r said as she danced around Garfield, Victor, Jayson and me.
"Betya Victor can do the robot." Garfield said, dancing a little bit of the robot to demonstrate, Victor however didn't look at all pleased.
As Kom-And'r danced around us one more time we decided to pick it up and dance along with her, though not doing a good job.
I heard some laughter and looked over to see Kori walking towards the stairs that led to the roof.
"I'll be right back guys; I need to check on Kori." I said, leaving the group behind. 'Kori's been off for the past two days, I hope she's alright.'
I walked up to the roof, opened the door and heard something I'd expected to hear for almost a year now. "Perhaps I do not belong here after all."
"Of course you don't." I answered, closing the door behind me. "You belong down there having fun with the rest of us, what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong." She answered, putting on a fake smile I'd seen way to many times. "Everything is wonderful, the pounding music and blinding lights are quite enjoyable." I looked at her for a few seconds, until her fake smile faded away. "Everything is not wonderful. I am happy to see her but Kom rules the video games, and she is able to share very depressing poems, and she knows the cool moves, and she always knows when people are not talking about shovels, and I am nothing like her."
I raised my eyebrow at that last one, but decided to save that question for later. "No, you're not, and I think that…"
I was interrupted by the glass ceiling a few feet in front of us being opened to reveal Kom-And'r flying up wearing a pink wig.
"How do I look?" she asked, flipping her wig and posing as she flew above the crowed.
"Pink, look can you give us a minute here." I said, slightly annoyed by Kom-And'r showing up when she knew very well what I was doing.
Then the music changed and Kom-And'r gasped in excitement. "I love this song." She flew forward grabbed me and pulled me into the warehouse. When we landed an angry looking Jayson was standing alone, right in front of us.
"Hey Dick, mind if I cut in." he said, pulling Kom-And'r gently towards him. He put his lips up to her ear and whispered something I couldn't make out.
"I should really get back up there, you two have fun." I said, heading straight back to the stairs.
"Wait Dick, this is my favorite song." She said, grabbing my arm just as I got to the stairs. "look, I really need to check on Kori."
"Where are you going, stay and talk to me." She continued as I went up the stairs grabbing my arm again.
"Look, I just want to make sure that Kor's okay." I said, just before Cyborg crashed through the wall.
I ran up to him, ready to pull out my mask and utility belt. "What's going on?" I asked as I helped him up from the rubble.
"remember that thing from the pier?" he asked angrily, looking out towards the main part of the warehouse. "It had friends." he ran out of the hole he made in the wall, and I slapped on my mask, and pulling out my utility belt.
"Didn't you hear him, your sister needs help?" I said, looking up at Black Fire and pointing out the hole in the wall.
"Right, of course." She said, pulling off her wig and flying out the hole the Cyborg had just exited from, me not far behind.
We ran through the warehouse until we found a new hole to the ally that was by the warehouse. We went out and saw three of those purple mechanical squids flying away, one of them carrying a screaming dumpster. I through a birdarang at it, cutting of two of its tentacles.
"Teen Titans, Go!" I shouted, Black Fire being the first to act. She flew over the rest of the Titans heads and blasted the three assailants with purple laser vision, each one of them exploding after a few seconds of exposure.
"All right, good times." Cyborg yelled as we ran up to the reckage of the mechanical squids.
"Nice shootin Tex." Beast Boy said just as we stopped in front of it.
"How did you know where to hit them?" I asked, confused that none of us had even guessed that that might be a week point.
"Lucky guess." She answered, shrugging off the question, but I still wasn't convinced though I had no proof to the contrary.
"We could use luck like that!" Cyborg said, rasing his arms in excitement. "Maybe you ought to join the team."
"Me, a Teen Titan." She said in what seemed like mock humility to me, but I had had years of psychological training from the world's greatest detective.
03:00 JULY 7TH 2014 TITANS TOWER
"were you just going to leave without saying goodbye?" I asked, walking up to edge of the tower where Kori had just lifted off from.
She hugged herself before she floated down, dropping the pink bat she had on her back. "Dick i...huuuuh."
I turned around and saw a menacing hover craft with two men in red alien looking armor. One of them thrustd its arm out and hit me with a green tentacle like thing, sending me flying backwards. When I stood back up Star had been grabbed by the tentacle and the hover craft was leaving, I ran after them and jumped off the tower, trying to reach her but I couldn't, so I launched a grappling onto the hover craft and pulled myself onto the onder side of the craft.
"prepare to leave Earth Orbit, we have the Tamaranian gir." One of the armored men said from above.
"Once we get back to Centaury you will pay for you crimes." The other said in a deeper more menacing voice.
'no one's taking her away from me.' I thought to myself, readying myself to get to the top of the ship. I jumped to the side and up, rolling to my right in midair so I'd land on the craft. "My friend stays hear." I said, taking up a fighting stance.
One of the aliens punched at me but I just jumped over him, he turned around and started shooting at me from the blaster in his arm, but I simply jumped back towards Star fire. The alien tried to punch me again but I ducked and punched at his elbow joint, short circuiting it. I moved to my left, getting closer to the edge so he launched the tentacle at me, but I dodged and he hit one of the engines.
"No." the alien at the wheel of the ship said as we started to go down towards the grassy shore below us. "I cannot control it."
I opened up the tube Star Fire was in and unwrapped her from the green tentacle that was stopping her from speaking. "Robin." She said as I helped to keep her steady.
"Come on!" I said, grabbing her hand and getting ready to jump. We jumped off the hover craft and Star slowly lowered me to the ground as the massive metal ship crashed in front of us.
"Star, Robin." Beast Boy called from behind us as he walked up with Cyborg and Raven.
"You guys okay." Cyborg asked, looking forward at the wreckage of the hover craft we'd just managed to crash.
I turned around to look as well and saw the two aliens getting up from the crash. "Titans, get ready." I said, drawing my escrimas and taking a fighting stance.
The two aliens walked up and the one with the deeper voice began to speak. "In the name of the grand Centaury Empire, you are all under arrest." He said, taking out a gold badge that had some form of glyphs written on it.
"uhh, you can't be the good guys, we're the good guys." Beast Boy said, voicing all of our confusion.
"And we are Centaury Police." The deep voiced one said angrily, looking down at us.
"The Tamaranian girl is a liar and a thief." The one with the high pitched voice said, pointing at Star Fire. "She has committed high crimes throughout the entire Centaury system."
"But I have never been to the Centaury moons." Star Fire said, her voice filled with confusion.
I looked down at the green gem Star Fire had around her neck and everything started to make since. "But I know someone who has." I said, taking off Star Fires necklace. "You've been chasing the wrong girl, where's Black Fire?"
"uhhh." Beast Boy said, pointing up towards the sky where the silhouette of a girl was streaked across the sky.
"Don't worry Star; she won't get away with this." I said, putting my hand on her shoulder as we watched her fly away.
"No she will not." Star Fire said angrily, her eyes starting to glow. She launched herself into the sky and flew towards her sister. After a few seconds of them just floating in the sky there was a purple explosion and I saw Star Fire starting to fall. There were a few more purple blasts when I herd the hover craft start back up, the two Centaurians heading up to the battle.
05:00 JULY 7TH 2014 TITANS TOWER
I walked up to the roof like I do every morning and saw Kori sitting at the edge of the roof, looking at the sunrise. I walked up behind her and sat down. "Hey, how ya doin?"
"I am, sorry for my sister." She answered, putting her face in her knees, her eyes filled with sadness.
"And for yourself?" I asked, looking down at her, hoping that she was going to be willing to stay.
"I'm just glad the truth was discovered before I was replaced." She answered, surprising me a bit.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, looking down at her.
"Well, you, everyone was having such fun with her, and then Cyborg said…" she started, talking really fast.
"Your sister was interesting." I said, trying to think of the best way to say this. "But she could never take your place. No one could ever take your place."
10:27 JULY 7TH TITANS TOWER
I opened the door to Jayson's room. "Hey Jay, Alfred's here to pick you…" I started before I saw him half necked and his limbs tied to his bed.
"Don't, say, a word." He said angrily, looking me through his slightly singed eyes. "if you ever date Kori, don't break up with her when she has you tied to a bed."
"I'll try to remember that." I said as I took out my cell phone and took a picture. "And barbs is going to as well."
AN: Yup, that was interesting. I'm not sure how I got that relationship between Jay and Kom-And'r going, but I did. I hope you enjoyed this chapter that was a pain in the ass to wright. Next chapter is one of the last ones based on an episode for a while, so that'll be good for me. Please remember to review and vote on the pole.
