A/N: alright my fellow readers,it's been a long time no see, huh? Well I'm busy,busy,busy! So I'm sorry! Anyways I have recently discovered young justice on Netflix , and I gotta say, not bad! Pretty good actually! But grrrr ... I wish they put Starfire and Raven in it! Also Damn have you seen Nightwing! HE IS SOOOO HOT! *fangirl scream!* anyways, I decided I could add some Yj characters, because I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with them as well. Their is no way in hell that I'm adding Zattana. Nope, nu uh, no, ain't gonna do it. I also use to love M'gann , but then what she did to Superboy in season two I hate her. Sorry all miss Martian fans!

Anyways I thought all this might be confusing with the characters and all, so I'm making a character chart.

Dick (Richard) Grayson - Robin/ Nightwing( also he looks like the Yj Nightwing right now. )

Kori Anders-Starfire

Garfield (Gar) Logan - Beastboy

Wally West- Kid Flash

Garth Waters - Aqualad

Rachel Roth - Raven

Terra Markov- Terra

Victor Stone -Cyborg

Karen Beecher - Bee

Jade Nyugen - Cheshire

Roy Harper - Speedy/ Red Arrow

Connor Kent - Superboy

Artemis Crock - Artemis

Jenny Hex - Jinx

Koma Anders - Blackfire

Xavier Redd- Red X

Kitten Moth - Kitten

Disclaimer: I do not own teen titans or any of the Yj characters I use. If I did Starfute and Raven would have been on YJ and dated Nightwing and BB, while TT would have still been on the air.

Chapter 6: new people, old habits

It was Tuesday morning. The sun was out and several stars that were late to fade away with the darkness marked the skies. Rachel stood from her bed and yawned. Stretching her back, she grimaced at the sight of her home.

It was a small apartment on the outskirts of town. With bugs infesting the place, and a mat for a bed, Rachel had gathered all of her belongings and left the place she use to call home. Living in this horrific place was much better to Rachel, then her old home that held so many bad memories.

Taking a shower in the bathroom as big as a closet, she quickly got dressed and put on the dabs of makeup to hide not only her bruises, but dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep.

Getting her backpack, she looked at the cracked mirror that leaned against the dusty walls. She looked normal, but inside she was just a scared, yet strong girl learning to over come her obstacles. Rachel was a fighter, and she was going to stick it out till the end.

With a sigh, Rachel exited her small home and walked the long mile to her bus stop. She had fled her home, and abandoned her drunk of a father to live on her own. There had been so much that Rachel had gone through, and it was just the beginning of the second week of school.

Yet, unbeknownst to her so much had happened with the gang as well. Victor and Karen were getting along fine now, considering the two were only fighting because of a car. That was all she knew about at the moment, other then everybody was hiding some sort of secret.

She had no idea Jenn was an addict to heroine, or that Dick and Kori's friendship was struggling due to his continuous playboy habits, or that Roy was cheating on Jade who was at the moment pregnant with his child for weeks now. Nope, she didn't know any of that, but she knew something was going on.

A few more minutes of walking, Rachel soon approached the bus stop. Currently she saw a scowling Koma in the corner, a snoring Wally who slept on the grass, a stoic Jade, and a boy who Kori was laughing with. That part she rose an eyebrow at.

"Who are you?" Rachel asked. Connor stopped his chuckling and looked down at Rachel.

"Connor. And you are...?" Connor asked.

"Rachel. Don't call me Rae." Rachel answered bluntly. Blinking his blue eyes twice, he gave a small smile and stiff nod, where he returned to converse with Kori again.

"What's up dudes!" Gar called walking to the bus stop. Gar looked at Connor slightly surprised at the new member.

"Who are you?" Gar asked with a raised eyebrow. Connor turned to Gar, with a stiff movement.

"Connor, and by the green in your hair, I'm assuming your Garfield Logan, aka Gar." Connor stated. Gar widened his green eyes in suprise.

"How did you know my name dude?" Gar asked in incredulous at the whole situation.

"Your friend Kori, gave me alot of information on you and your friends." Connor answered giving a small lop sided grin towards Kori who sheepishly smiled.

"I DIDN'T DO IT!" Wally yelled waking up. Everyone turned to him, where Connor grumbled.

"Are you having that ridiculous nightmare, when Barry keeps blaming you for stealing his sandwich?" Connor asked irritably .

"Yeah..." Wally sighed getting up and dusting off the dirt from his clothes. Stretching , Wally let out a yawn and smacked his lips.

"Oh man, that was a good nap. Hey where's everybody else?" Wally asked.

"Dick drove to school, Vic and Karen are probably already at school, Jenn is probably late, Garth's at school, and I couldn't care less on where Roy's at." Jade answered simply, growling out Roy's name. All mouths were agape at how Jade said Roy's name with such anger, except Connor who had no idea who Roy was, and Rachel who hid her surprise by an emotionless mask.

"Jade are you okay?" Kori asked concerned. Jade shook her head and laughed sarcastically.

"Oh yeah I'm just fucking peachy. I love the fact that I'm a pregnant sixteen year old girl, with a cheating boyfriend who has no fucking idea that I'm pregnant with his child!" Jade yelled in complete anger with hot tears beginning to pour down her cheeks. At the realization that Jade had just admitted she was pregnant and that Roy cheated on her, she slapped her hands over her mouth and glanced at all the wide eyes staring at her in utter disbelief.

This time Connor and Rachel's mouths were agape. Just as someone was about to speak up the bus approached the stop. After being ushered in the large yellow vehicle, the entire group sat around each other in silence. Not one person said a word still unable to digest what Jade had admitted. Well not until school.

Getting off the bus, Jade walked uncomfortably with the silent group before Wally came back to reality being the first one to process the news.

"WHAT?!" Wally screamed gaining unwanted attention from their fellow piers. This loud outburst seemed to bring the other members of the group out of their dazed thoughts as they all began to bombard Jade with continuous questions.

"Shhh!" Jade hissed. Walking down the hall ways , Jade sighed.

"I'll tell you guys what happened at lunch." Jade whispered. Nods were exchanged before everyone trotted off to their seperate classes.

Over the few periods the group shared together, they were stunned. In gym, Kori was so shocked that she didn't even hear Dick sit by her. Dick looked at Kori curiously before he waved a hand in front of her , snapping her out of her trance.

"Kori." Dick called.

"What Richard?" Kori kindly asked giving him her full attention.

"You okay Star? You seem kinda off today." Dick pointed out. Kori gave a groan and slumped her thin frame on her knees as she propped her head up with her elbow and looked at him. She frowned at the sunglasses obscuring her sight from his eyes and grabbed them off leaving his sapphire eyes to stare at her emeralds.

"I'm fine Robin. It's just something has come up that you and everyone else shall hear about at lunch. " Kori replied. Richard rose a perfect black eyebrow.

"Is it bad?" Dick asked. Kori bit her lip and shook her head.

"It isn't me who's telling you the news at lunch. It's Jade, and it's only bad news if you see it that way." Kori answered. Dick gave a questioning look, but nodded. A loud whistle blew , making all students in the gym turn to the coach, who was a tall bald man, with a bulky shape, and a thick brown mustache.

"Alright everybody! Go get dressed and head out to the track. Today we're going to practice sprints, and stretches. Grayson, Stone! You two come to my desk when your done changing." Coach Stewart yelled.

"Oh yeah!" Wally exclaimed excitedly as he dashed to the boys locker room.

Kori along with the rest of the students in the gym headed towards the boys and girls locker room where they all got dressed in their own shorts, sweat pants, running shoes and t-shirts. Heading to the track, Kori walked with Wally who was excited about most likely glutting about how fast he was after everybody ran. Then again Wally was incredibly fast. Who wouldn't want to glut?

Adorned in purple shorts that complimented her long legs, and a lime green athletic shirt, Kori walked to the track putting her long red hair in a ponytail. Wally wearing a yellow shirt, and red shorts , was currently stretching when he looked at Kori.

"Psst. Legs." Wally called. Kori looked at him, already knowing what the two were about to talk about.

"Was it just me, or did you hear that Jade was pregnant and Roy's cheating on her?" Wally whispered.

"I did too. I can't believe Roy would do something like that. I thought he loved Jade." Kori replied.

"I know. I'm going to have to kick his ass. I mean what the hell was he thinking?" Wally remarked with a growl. Like everyone else in the group, Wally was protective over Jade. He was protective over all the girls , like an older brother almost. If anybody was hurt in the gang, nobody would hesitate to stand up for their friend.

"Who was what thinking?" Dick asked now popping in from no where now fully dressed in blue gym shorts, and a black muscle shirt causing girls to drool.

"Um nothing!" Wally retorted. Dick gave Wally an amused glance and turned to Kori.

"What is he talking about?" Dick asked Kori. She shook her head.

"I'm sorry Richard, but it is not my place to tell you." Kori defiantly said.

"Yeah, just wait till lunch Dickie-boy. Jade will tell us everything." Wally assured with a fake goofy grin. He couldn't smile at this time due to the subject manner, but he wasn't going to give any hints.

"What's Jade supposed to tell us at lunch?" Victor asked now joining in the group of three.

"Well what Jade is supposed to tell us at lunch, is well what Jades supposed to tell us at lunch! Does this look like lunch? And do I look like Jade!" Wally exclaimed. He wasn't the best at keeping secrets and he was already aggravated of people asking him about this uncomfortable subject.

"Geez Wally. I'll wait then." Vic grumbled. Wally gave an apologetic smile as Kori beamed.

"What did the coach want to talk to you about?" Kori asked.

"He wanted to talk about the drills for the upcoming football game this Friday." Dick answered. Kori opened her mouth to talk when a thought crossed her. She was surprised that they were already having a football game, but the Jump City Titans had been practicing a month before school started. Dick smiled at her confused face. He thought it was pretty cute. Then he shook his head violently at the thought of him and Kori sharing a kiss. He had been having this fantasy for some time now, and he had no idea why he was beginning to develop strong feelings for Kori. I mean he couldn't just walk up to her and give her a big o'l wet kiss. Best friends didn't do that. Besides what Richard assumed was that Kori didn't like him that way. She did only see him as her best friend right?

Watching his stare at the beautiful redhead Wally and Victor smirked. Wally could've sworn he saw a bit of drool at the corner of Richard's lip, when he saw Kori in her shorts.

"We're just best friends my ass." Wally whispered in Victor's ear.

"They need to just make out already." Victor replied as the two snickered.

"Alright you video gaming, phone worshiping , lazy slackers! Today we're going to be running two miles and practice some stretches! " Coach Stewart called , approaching the track with a whistle, timer and clipboard at hand.

"Wait coach! We have a newbie here. He has a schedule change form so he's good to go." An assistant coach named Rodriguez yelled. Running towards the field in a black and red high lighted muscle shirt, and red shorts was Connor with a bored expression.

"Supes! What's up man! You need to meet Dickie -boy and chrome dome here!" Wally yelled enthusiastically .

"Who?" Connor asked now on the track ignoring everybody stretching.

"The names Victor Stone. Varsity running back, and happy to meet you." Victor greeted shaking Connor's hand. Connor gave a small smile.

"The names Connor Kent. Pleasure to meet you Stone." Connor replied kindly.

"You just call me Vic for short man." Victor added.

"Alright. Vic, and you are Dick Grayson. Kori's best friend." Connor stated shaking Richards outstretched hand.

"Yeah. I'm guessing she introduced me already?" Dick teased as the two chuckled and Kori blushed.

"Alright everybody, when I blow this whistle y'all start running!" Coach Stewart yelled as he raised the whistle to his mouth.

As people got into running stances , Coach Stewart blowed the whistle letting the loud screech inform the athletes it was time to run. Wally took off like a rocket as Dick was second followed by some people on last years track team, Victor, Kori and Connor who ran at the same pace and then the rest of the students who struggled behind.

For the rest of the period Dick watched Connor closely. Only reason though, was because he was with Kori. He had no idea why he didn't like Kori and Connor hanging out. He certainly wasn't jealous. He also had no control over it. If Dick was allowed to date and hook up with almost every girl in the school, then why couldn't Kori hang out with just one guy? He had no idea why he had this ache in his heart at the sight of Connor making Kori laugh and that not being him. After all it was his fault. Was he jealous ? Of course not. Dick Grayson didn't do jealousy.

Yet, no matter how much he told himself, it was futile. The almighty Dick Grayson was falling hard for his best friend Kori Anders. He was what he would never admit, not even to himself. Jealous.

After Wally had finished his victory dance, for literally leaving everyone in the dust at the track, the young speedster was hungry. Complaining he needed more energy, he and Gar met up to grab some grub.

These two friends had their differences and similarities. Wally and Gar both loved pizza. Gar a veggie deal, and well Wally's was just any type of pizza. Both did pranks, stupid corny jokes, and cared about their friends greatly. Meeting Gar at the parking lot so they could get something edible to devour he saw Gar and a girl. A blonde girl.

"What the hell?" Wally asked to no one in particular. Sneaking towards Gar, Wally poked his head over an SUV to see a thin blonde girl with blue eyes.

"Wow Gar, I never knew how funny you were?!" She exclaimed giggling again.

"You think I'm funny?" Gar asked surprised.

"Of course BB, who wouldn't!" Terra replied. At that statement Wally jumped in.

"Me, Rachel, Vic, Garth, Dick, the whole world!" Wally answered as Gar and Terra yelped.

"Wally! What the hell were you doing?!" Gar asked. Wally smirked.

"I was being a ninja spy." Wally replied as if it was completely obvious. Gar face palmed as Terra gave a small smile.

"Well bye Gar. I have to go home before my brother gets mad at me." Terra said as she walked away. Gar watched her leave and soon turned to see a smoldering Wally.

"Gar. Who was she?" Wally asked. Gar rose an eyebrow.

"Um- her names Terra dude. She's a new girl in my biology class and she's a pretty cool chick." Gar answered. Wally began to stroke his chin while facing Gar with narrow eyes.

"I thought you liked Rachel?" Wally asked. Gar blushed a deep shade of crimson, and coughed a bit.

"Um- when did I say that?" Gar asked as he accidentally squeaked at the end of his sentence.

"Oh well Gar, if you say you don't like her, then I guess I won't tell you what she said about you..." Wally trailed off. Gar widened his eyes.

"What did she say about me?" Gar asked. Wally shook his head.

"Nope. It's classified. Can't do it." Wally said with a shake of his head and crossed arms.

"Fine! I do like Rachel. A lot actually..." Gar sighed. Wally grinned widely.

"I knew it! So my wimpy green bean of a prince, why haven't you asked your lil dark princess out yet?" Wally teased. Gar shrugged.

"Same reason Dick hasn't asked Kori out yet. I guess I'm afraid she won't like me back." Gar replied with a heavy sigh and an itch to the back of his neck. Wally gave an apologetic smile.

"Gar, if we spend our whole lives wondering what would happen then we wouldn't have the things we've got today. Regret mistakes bro, not something you never tried because of that what if factor. I mean if everybody was acting like you right now when they made decisions we wouldn't have bikinis! Just wing it dude. Don't let that 'what if' stand in your way." Wally advised.

Gar looked at Wally silently weighing the outcomes. Then the bell rung alerting all students it was time for lunch. Wally groaned at the fact he couldn't have his 'pre- lunch' but he knew he would live. Then his eyes widened in rememberance of this morning.

"Gar remember this morning at the bus stop?! We need to go right Now! Jade has some shit she has to explain so c'mon!" Wally yelled practically dragging Gar.

Lunch. A large cafeteria filled with hungry wimps, jocks, drama geeks, and your typical popularity cliques. Rachel, Kori, Wally, Gar, and Connor sat at the lunch table holding looks of anticipation. Dick, Bee, Victor, Jenn, and Garth all sat with confused expressions wondering what was going on, while Jade was a nervous wreck. Sitting down, Jade looked at everyone with a small smile.

"You guys are my family. And family sticks together no matter what right?" Jade asked nervously. A chorus of agreements followed her question as she sighed in relief.

"Hey Jade! Where's Roy? Isin't he supposed to be eating with us too?" Garth asked. Everyone who knew about why Roy wasn't here stiffened as this went unnoticed.

"Well um- oh fuck it, I'm just going to tell all of you flat out. I'm breaking up with Roy. The son of a bitch was cheating on me yesterday, when I was about to tell him I was pregnant with his kid." Jade clarified.

Silence filled the table as everyone took in and processed what Jade stated. Wally smirked and leaned over to Rachel.

"Watch this. 3...2...1..."Wally counted down.

"WHAT?!" Dick, Vic, Garth, Bee, and Jenn screamed.

"IM GOING TO KILL THAT ASSHOLE! WHERE THE HELL IS HE, SO I CAN BEAT HIS ASS?!" Jenn screeched in rage.

"Woah! Who are y'all talking about?" Roy asked approaching the table. He was followed by Ashely who Jade couldn't help,but glare at. Everyone gave Roy the silent treatment and cold glares making him confused.

"YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH! IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL Y-" Jennifer was cut off by Wally who covered her mouth as she began to call Roy every curse word under the sun. By now the whole cafeteria was watching the scene taking place.

"Roy why would you cheat on Jade?" Vic asked. Roy widened his eyes as people in the cafeteria gasped.

"I-I didn't cheat on Jade." Roy stuttered. Jade stood up so fast that the chair behind her flew to the wall. Stomping towards the petrified boy, Jade stopped right in front of him with a glare that could scare the devil.

"I. Saw. You. " Jade growled tapping his chest with her finger each time.

"Um I think you might be confused, he was totally not cheating on you." Ashely lied. Jade whipped her head towards the red head and walked up to her.

"I hope your done using this face to make out with other boys." Jade hissed with a Cheshire grin. Ashely looked up confused.

"What the hell are you talkin- AHHHH!" Ashely screamed at the top of her lungs. Jade retracted her fist from Ashely's face and shook it as she watched the hated girl convulse on the ground and cover her bleeding broken nose. Ashely ran to the bathroom in tears while Roy stood there stunned.

"And you!" Jade exclaimed now facing Roy.

"I can't believe I thought I loved you! I can't believe I thought you changed. What happened to the Roy that told me he was going to love me and only me?!" Jade asked in anger as hot tears poured down her face.

"I do love you! It's just because you've been avoiding me for like a week! I'm trying to talk to you, to ask you what's wrong so we can be us again, but you just shut me out!" Roy hollered.

"so you cheat on me with some slut, because I haven't been giving you any attention?!" Jade screamed.

"God, it was a mistake. I know it was wrong, but tell me what's going on with you?!" Roy replied.

"Well I would've told you what was wrong with me if I hadn't walked in on you and Ashely sucking faces!" Jade retorted.

"Then tell me what's wrong now!" Roy pleaded.

"I- I can't Roy. I can't even look at you right now. I wanted you to know something that was going to change both our lives. I was just scared, but seeing that incident I knew why. Not only because of your reaction, but your history. I don't know how you feel a-about me Roy, b-but for now we're done." Jade stated. Roy stopped cold as Jade ran out of the cafeteria in tears.

Leaving the school and walking home in a hurry Jade sobbed. She knew she was probably to easy on Roy. She probably should've punched him instead, but damn did it feel good to punch Ashely. Shaking her black hair, she opened the door to her home and walked inside to see her mom and somebody else.

"Mom, don't ask me why I'm here early I just am." Jade yelled. Mrs. Nyugen poked her head out to see her daughter and smiled not even caring if she was missing school.

"Who's that?" Somebody asked.

" Wait who's that?" Jade asked entering the kitchen with an arm propped on her hip.

"Well I'm the girl who's moving in early!" The blonde girl replied sarcastically. That's when Jade figured out who she was.

"Wait a minute. Your?" Jade asked surprised. The girl stood confidently and crossed her arms.

"That's right. Nice to meet you big sis."

Archery practice. The one place Roy could release all the stress and steam he's built up by shooting arrows. At practice was about five people including Roy. The archery coach was Oliver Queen, Roy's adoptive father. He was a strict man and was always striving to make his athletes get better. After all, Oliver Queen was the best archer there could be.

"okay! Now we're going to practice target shooting." Oliver yelled. Lining up to the mat, students began to release their arrows from their quiver to the target.

Roy shot his and instantly grinned at the perfect bullzye. Other people got theirs close to the bullzye as Oliver groaned.

Walking away from the targets, the archery team was oblivious of the new member joining the room with a bow and arrow at hand. Only when everyone heard the sound of targets being hit did they turn to the newcomer. She was average height, with long thick blonde hair, plump pink lips, lightly tanned skin, and focused dark eyes with a grey tint. She was a pretty girl who looked like she didn't care what anyone thought of her.

All eyes widened when she continued to get a perfect bullseye on each target. Approaching Roy's, she let out a breath and watched as it flew and hit Roy's arrow at the tip making the arrow split in two. Stunned silent filled the room a she turned to everyone with a smirk.

"Not bad Harper." The blonde commented. Roy shook his head out of his surprised trance and glared at the girl.

"Who do you think you are to just come up in here and shoot up all the targets ?" Roy asked. She looked up with the same smirk.

"What's a matter? Carrot top doesn't like a little competition?" she teased. Roy went red in anger as Oliver walked over to her.

"That was some exceptional shooting young lady. What's your name?" Oliver asked. She shrugged not really caring.

"The names Artemis Crock."
