[I do not own Teen Titans or any characters mentioned in this story. Here have some misfits to judge.]
The misfits all lazed around on an abandoned rooftop in Star City. The misfits, as they called themselves, were an organized criminal group more or less led by Crowe. Johnny was completely convinced he was the real leader, but the minute Crowe stepped into a room all attention was on whatever he was about to say. They never committed any real crime to be honest, most of it was just them hanging around as friends and vandalizing (mainly Slade's) things. Really they were just a bunch of hooligan teenagers looking for entertainment.
Then there were the few times they actually did have a run-in with the Titans. If they would listen to each other and fight correctly, they would definitely be able to pretty much run whatever town they came across. But it seems Crowe had rubbed off on them just a little. They fought the Titans sometimes, for pure fun and most of the time they lost. It wasn't so much gloom and doom, steal to survive, or cause chaos anymore, now it was just having fun and hanging out with friends. They'd never admit it of course.
The Misfits consisted of six members. Crowe - the leader of the group. He was the one who always took on Robin whenever they came across the Titans, he was also the one who showed them that being a villain didn't have to be so dark and evil. It could also be for pure fun. Crowe was kind, compassionate, caring, and the only person anyone had ever met that would take them in and help them without a second thought. Crowe, while naive and a bit ditzy, was everyone's best friend and big brother despite his younger age.
Then there was Blackfire - the registered Starfire of the team. While Koma Anders made a big show of outsmarting her sister when met with her, they were more alike than either would ever know. Blackfire knew plenty more about Earth than Starfire did, but the Tamaranean girl still required assistance at times. She only knew the basics of electronics and her cooking was equal to her sister's, she also still couldn't grasp the idea of what 'anime' was, though she was thoroughly intrigued. Unlike her sister however, Blackfire was less in the sense 'innocent curiosity' and more 'violently cautious'. She tended to want to blow up anything that was alien to her, though she was much less likely to do so when Crowe was near.
Johnny Rancid was also involved in the team - the technician and muscle more or less. He was the one that usually went against Cyborg. Jonathan Gurge was always fiddling with some new contraption or messing with his precious motorcycle. Though he was pretty rough on the outside, once you got to know him he was a pretty cool guy to hang around. Johnny was the first guy to ever outwardly flirt with Jericho when he came down from his mountain. Granted, he was convinced Jericho was a girl. Amusingly, Johnny only hit on Jericho, not Crowe. Crowe couldn't really tell if he knew they were the same person or not, but he'd figure it out eventually. He hoped.
Cheshire was more or less the Raven of their team. She was cynical, sarcastic, and often hit Punk Rocket upside his head to prove her point. While she remained deadly silent during her heists, Jade Nguyen had plenty to say if you were able to befriend her. She often was paired with Raven during battles. Cheshire was often distant, but there were those handful of people she kept close. Crowe being the main one, he was the only person that knew her alias or her origin. While Blackfire was pretty bad at cooking, it was nothing compared to poor Jade. She often forced the rest of the team to try her latest concoctions, which were more than likely to make you sick.
Punk Rocket was unfortunately the Beast-Boy of the team. He was loud, obnoxious, annoying, but most of all, lovable. When he saw one of his friends was feeling down, instead of playing some loud rock song like normal he would always talk to them or joke around to cheer them up. He too was still a bit sour from Kyd Wykkyd winning over Crowe. Unlike Johnny, Thomas Leonard had flirted with Crowe and had no interest in Jericho. Johnny Rancid and Punk Rocket were also long time partners, and often were questioned as to why they weren't a couple. Johnny usually just rolled his eyes while Punk laughed it off, but there was an obvious connection. Johnny was really the only person to love Punk for what he was, despite his overwhelming schizophrenia. While the whole team simply accepted it, Johnny loved even that part of him.
Finally, there was XL Terrestrial. Nobody really knew where he belonged, or where he came from. He just showed up one day with Crowe who demanded they all be nice to him. Soon though, Xilo Trahk found a home with the Misfits who all treated him like family. He was worse than even Starfire and Blackfire when it came to new things. Apparently he had come from a planet names 'Horak' and while his people had advanced knowledge in technology, culture, and other planets, they knew nothing about Earth. Xilo was always learning, always curious about everything. He was really the team's child. He had this childlike innocence in everything he did, and he was constantly confused about everything. It didn't really help that Punk and Johnny were always confusing him purpose. XL did however grasp the idea of human love, which was known as 'Iynta' on his planet. It had hit him as soon as he spotted the Herald, whom Xilo was infatuated with. Crowe found the whole situation hilarious.
Kyd Wykkyd was really just there. He went wherever Crowe went and never left his side. He did everything Crowe asked without hesitation or question and was just happy to be there. Though Kyd was extremely possessive over Crowe and often glared menacingly everytime Punk Rocket or Johnny Rancid walked into the room, he got along semi well with the Misfits. Kyd was the person everyone went to when they needed less optimistic hope from Crowe, and more realistic reason from someone more grounded. Really the two were like Yin and Yang, Crowe wouldn't be able to really be confident in anything without Kyd, and Kyd flat out couldn't function if he didn't know where Crowe was. The team altogether were one strange, taboo family of misfits.
It was all that XL Terrestrial had ever known outside of the academy and his planet, the only people on the planet Punk Rocket had ever met to show him compassion and help with his mental condition, it was the only family Cheshire had ever known and loved, the only team that would find some likable trait about Johnny, and the Misfits were Blackfire's only friends on Earth or any other planet.
Yes, they were a bit strange, but that's what makes a misfit so capable.
[I don't really know what this is? Just take it I guess? I don't know I felt like I needed to explain the Misfits I mentioned in the Robin vs Crowe chapter some more? Reviews and Requests are welcomed and appreciated!]
