Chapter 2

Awaken with a Fright

"Her name's Valentine White," Cyborg said. They were back at the Tower and had brought the girl, Valentine, along with the suitcase that had been with her, to the Tower. They were currently in the sick bay and Valentine was still out of it and currently lying down.

Cyborg was looking at her ID that had been in her wallet in her back pocket. Starfire had found it after they had picked her up. She had thought it was some kind of growth when she first saw it. Raven took it out to show that it wasn't what Starfire thought it was.

"Valentine? That's kinda a weird name," BeastBoy said.

"So is Garfield," Raven said. BeastBoy gave her a glare, a slight vein throbbing on his forehead.

"She's 18 and originally from Arizona," Cyborg said.

"Maybe she has come to see family?" Starfire said, glancing at the unconscious girl.

"We'll have to check, in case she doesn't wake up. I can do a search in the city for anyone with the last name of "White"," Cyborg said.

"Do that," Robin said.

"I hope she will be all right," Starfire said, looking at Valentine. Valentine's braid was a bit messed up and was laid over her shoulder.

"Dude, so do I! I'm the one who knocked her out!" BeastBoy said. His shoulders were slumped.

"She'll be alright, BeastBoy," Robin said. "She'll be awake soon. Cyborg, you and I will go to the ops center to see if we could find anyone who may be family in the computer. You three stay here, in case she wakes up."

"On it!" BeastBoy said, sitting on a stool. Cyborg put the ID back in the wallet and put the wallet on top of the suitcase. Robin and Cyborg left while the others stayed.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for a while," Raven said.

She started to wake up. She could hear something. She thought they were voices. No, they were voices.

"She's waking up. Starfire, go let the others know," a voice said. It sounded like a girl, though her voice didn't hold much emotion. She opened her eyes and saw a ceiling. She turned her head to the right, seeing different medical items and machines.

A/N Sorry about the break here. I can't get it to go away. Sorry! Hope you're liking the story so far!

I'm in a hospital..? she thought to herself. But, I don't have enough money… She turned her head to the left, sitting up.

She was met with a hooded figure with one of the coldest eyes she had ever seen. The hood was beaked, making most of the figure's face hidden. Even still, the eyes shined through and the rest of the figure's face was a grey-pale.

"GAH!" she cried out. She leaned back out of fright.

BAM!

"Oof!" She said at landing on her rear on the ground. She then heard laughing as she looked up. She saw an entirely green teenage boy with pointy ears bent over laughing.

"Dude! You totally scared her, Raven!" the green boy laughed, holding his sides.

The hooded figure, who she figured was "Raven", slapped the back of his head and pulled her hood down. She was actually quite pretty with angled, short, violet-blue hair. She had a red jewel in the middle of her forehead.

"Ouch! Why'd you do that?" the green boy asked.

She ignored him and went over to her while the boy rubbed the spot where she had slapped him. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, Valentine."

"H-How do you know my name..?" Valentine asked, still a bit freaked.

"We kinda sorta looked in your wallet to find your ID that said your name," the green boy said, scratching the back of his head now.

"You went through my wallet?" She said, standing up quickly. Just as soon as she was on her feet, she got dizzy. She gripped onto the bed to get steady.

"Hey, we didn't take anything. We just wanted to know who you were," the green boy said.

"Don't move too much," Raven said. Valentine finally steadied herself and looked around more closely.

"Where am I?" Valentine asked.

"You're in Titan's Tower," Raven said.

"Where?" Valentine said, having never heard of it.

"You don't know Titan's Tower? Home of the Teen Titans?" the green boy asked, an eyebrow raised,

"No. I haven't even heard of the Teen Titans," Valentine said.

"WHAT!" the green boy cried out with wide eyes.

"So the girl is awake," a male voice said, coming from the side of Valentine. She turned and saw a tall black guy with glowing blue, mechanical parts, an orange teen girl with red hair and green eyes, and a teen boy with spiky, black hair and a cape.

Am I in some circus or something? she thought to herself.

"Oh, glorious!" the red haired girl said. She flew, literally flew, at Valentine and gave her a huge hug. "You have awoken! We are so joyful of your being well!"

"Agh! C-Crushing….me….!" Valentine said in return, her eyes starting to bug out.

"Oh!" the girl said, letting go of her, "I do apologize! I am just so joyful of your awakening!"

"Yeah, we were starting to think you wouldn't wake up," the spiky haired guy said. "I'm Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans. This is Cyborg," Cyborg waved saying 'Yo!', "This is Starfire," she waved with a wide grin, "This is Raven," Raven just looked at her, silent, "And this is BeastBoy." He smiled a goofy grin and scratched the back of his head.

"Heheh… Yeah, sorry about runnin' into ya before," He said.

"Huh?" she said with a raised eyebrow. Before her eyes, the boy changed into a green ram with curled horns. Her eyes went wide at seeing this. "H-How did he… You were just… But now you're…," she was stunned, not sure how to make of this.

He morphed back into his teen-self. "I'm able to do that. I can change into any animal," he grinned playfully.

She just looked at him. Her eyes then wandered onto the others. "I-I'm guessing you guys have some kind of power too..?"

"Basically," Cyborg grinned.

Valentine was silent. "… A-Alright," she said, blinking a couple times.

"I know this is a lot all at once," Robin said.

"It's alright," she said, "Thanks for taking care of me."

"Don't sweat it," Cyborg said.

"I am curious," Starfire said, "Are you visiting relatives in the city?"

Her face slightly fell at hearing "relatives", but she blinked and it cleared away. "Oh, no, I'm moving here. I was on my way to rent an apartment when that pink glob thing came."

"That would be Plasmus," Robin said. "How about we drop you off at the apartments? For accidentally knocking you out."

"You don't have to do that. It's fine; you guys are forgiven," Valentine said, slightly blushing out of embarrassment.

"It's no problem," Cyborg said. "Besides, we were already thinking about going out to eat."

"Well… Ok. Thank you," she smiled a small smile.

"Come! We shall take you to your new home!" Starfire said. She grabbed her arm and flew out the door, towards the garage.

"GAAH!" Valentine said as she was flown away.
