In the living room, Starfire, Raven and Jinx were having a fun time together in the living room on the couch, playing with their little buddies, or pets when not on the job.
"Aww, you're just so adorable Luna. I'm so glad we're friends." Jinx snuggled the purring kitten, whom was purring happily. The two got along very well considering their similarities and that Luna provided the perfect comfort while the metahuman was waiting for her legs to heal. Starfire would often want to play with the kitty, and she agreed so long as Silkie wasn't around. She didn't want to risk her cat being eaten or vomited on, even if they were teammates of their little squad.
"Yes, Luna is the adorable. Just like my little bumgorf. Do you not think so too Silkie?" Starfire asked doing the goo goo and gaa gaa with her mutated silkworm, hugging the pet tightly, rubbing her face against his before licking him as a means to tickle him, grossing the other two out.
"Ugh. At least yours doesn't cause a lot of trouble. Lotus's help isn't always so helpful." And this was true. If the AC malfunctioned, Lotus would go in and make it churn out snow that flooded the room. If the oven wouldn't turn on, she'd hop inside and cause the inside to erupt in flame. If something ran out of batteries, she'd spew lightning at the device, making it short circuit. In short, when the little demon would try to help, it would go too well for the other titan's needs, and making her and Raven the only buddy relationship that was strained in a love/hate kind of thing.
"Oh do not be hard on the Lotus. Even if things do not go right, she is trying to help, and she is also the cute as well." Lotus in response jumped into Starfire's lap, circling around the Tamaranean with a smile making her giggle. Raven simply rolled her eyes. From the hallway, Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy entered the room.
"Ah, hello girls. Glad that half of you are already here. I have an announcement." They all turned their attention to him. "Since the little buddy project went so well, I'm thinking that we could do it again on another avenue. Titans, we're heading to the orphanage."
"Orphanage? What, we're making children do our jobs now?" Raven questioned, skeptical about his reasoning.
"Don't worry Raven, these aren't just any children. I've found this orphanage that has children with powers, meaning that not only are they not helpless, they can also help with some of our lower tier villains so we can devote more time to our A tier enemies. They're going to be known as the "Tween Titans."
"8-12 year olds? How're they going to fight crime?" Jinx scoffed. "They're supposed to be in what, elementary school?"
"Ah, but here's the thing about me. I was recruited by Batman when I was only 12 years old. And look at me."
"I think it's possible dudes. I've been raised by the Doom Patrol for years and I've turned out to be a great hero, yo!" Beast Boy self promoted, trying to fit himself in the same mold.
"Well, do whatever. I'm not going." The pink hair witch shrugged, not feeling like it.
"How come?" Cyborg asked with confusion.
"I've never fit in with orphanages. Too many burnt to the ground. The Hive became my first family. I don't even know my last name if I had one." She looked down sadly as she petted Luna.
"I understand. You don't need to go if you don't want to. With that said, let's go." So the five titans went down to St. Francine's Home of Lost Children. Once there, the children cheered as they approached the titans. The houseparent came out and greeted them.
"Greetings titans. Of what do we owe this pleasure?"
"Greetings, Mrs. Clement. We're hear as part of a recreational mission. Is there any kids here with superpowers?" Robin requested. The smile on her face dropped, though not entirely disappeared.
"Oh, the 'problem children'. Right this way." Mrs. Clement lead the superhero team into the building. "The staff here has no problems with these children, but they had trouble connecting to the other kids here because of their gifts." Opening up a door to a room, it was there that they and the houseparent saw the sight of five children. The oldest looking 12 and the youngest at 8. Three girls and two boys. The oldest is a 12 year old boy with black hair and had some Japanese ancestry. He wore a black jacket over a red t-shirt and pink pants along with black boots. The second is an 11 year old American boy who seemed to have adopted an emo like appearance with jet black hair, dark clothes and pale skin. After inhaling, the boy blew out a bubble that floated in the air for a few seconds before popping. Next was a 10 year old African American girl who apparently didn't like to let her features to be seen. Her black hair was medium length going down to a little past her shoulders, but otherwise wore a jacket with the hood up, mirrored glasses, a scarf, and boots. She appeared to be very similar to Shino Aburame. But her strangest feature was that her knees appeared to bend backwards instead of forwards, and yet had no trouble standing. Next is a 9 year old Hispanic-American girl who appeared to be just full of energy, yelling the nursery rhyme of Hey Diddle Diddle as she jumped from bed to bed like it was the most fun thing to do in the world. She had black hair that seemed to dip into white from dye most likely and mostly lime green and yellow clothing. Finally was an 8 year old Chinese girl wearing a red shirt under a blue coat, a yellow skirt and red/white sneakers. They all looked towards the door and gasped upon seeing the titans, and were about to surround them when the houseparent announced, "Children, line up please." they all did so, a few appearing to be more excited then others. Gesturing to Robin to introduce himself, the titan leader stepped forth.
"Greetings children. You obviously know us as the Teen Titans. Now, while we are not here to adopt, we did come to see you for an experimental program we're planning on having. Please, tell me what your names are and what your powers are." He requested. The kids huddled while whispering amongst themselves before going back into a line. The 12 year old boy went first.
"My name is Steve. My power is size manipulation of not just myself, but those at a range as well." He pointed at one of the beds and shrunk it down to a third of its size before returning it to its rightful size. The titans were impressed. "Also, because she's mute..." He pointed to the heavily covered girl. "I'll introduce for her. She's Devrie. Only Mrs. Clement and we know what she looks like under there, and the others don't like her. So she fits in with us misfits here. Would you care to present?" With a nod, she started to make a trilling noise that wavered through the air. From the cracks of the room, bugs started to creep through the wood and plaster, flying and crawling towards her until they started to cover her body, even going inside her clothes.
"She can control bugs?" Beast Boy inquired, fascinated by the display. Starfire the least so, seeing so many insects at once.
"Yes. To the others, she's the freakiest of us, but that just makes her one of the cooler members of our group." Steve said with a smile. She nodded as thanks.
"But none are cooler than me!" The Hispanic girl self-promoted with a cheer. "The name's Lizzy, and I can make anything come to life! Watch!" She went to an old soda can and simply touched it. Eyes and a mouth appeared along with stick figure like arms and legs. "Care to dance for us?" She asked it. The can smiled and did a little tap dance, making all but Raven snicker at the silly performance until it was finished. Touching the can again, it reverted back to normal. Beast Boy and Cyborg laughed from such a good show.
"Oh man, that's hilarious!" The metallic teen laughed.
"Indeed, it was the most glorious!" Starfire agreed.
"Thank you!" Lizzy remarked. The youngest stepped forward, picking up the can.
"My name is Sophie. I can make anything I touch soft. Like this." With a simple squeeze, the young girl treated the metallic object like it was made of Play-Doh. Squishing, stretching, pull it apart before putting it back together, she handed it to Beast Boy.
"That's awesome!" He chuckled as he threw it down at the ground, but it didn't deform and gave a sharp clank sound when it hit the floor.
"They only stay soft as long as I touch them."
"Huh. Well, so long as you need it to, right?" Finally was the emo kid's turn.
"The name's Lynn. I can create bubbles." He held out a fist before opening it up, forming a bubble in his hand before letting it go to float. "And make them explode if I choose so." It then exploded like a fire cracker.
"Interesting. Well children, listen up. Crime is widespread through the city. We stop most of the serious ones but not even we can stop them all. That's why we searched for you here to train you up into the Tween Titans! To stop the more minor crimes we usually don't have time to stop." Steve, Lizzy and Sophie cheered from the aspect of becoming superheroes while Lynn and Devrie just appeared to be visually pleased.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Mrs. Clement questioned, a little worried for the kids' safety.
"Don't worry. We'll take precautions and teach them how to handle themselves in situations. Let's begin."
For the first day, Robin walked along the lined up group of five kids while the other titans and the houseparent stayed back as an audience.
"Okay kids, the first to step in teamwork is to have a goal. And in this case, that's how to work efficiently as a team. Steve, how does one in a group complete a task in a group?"
"We try and figure out what the best action is. Being isolated made thinking of ones actions essential, especially in a group like us." The young boy replied.
"Very good. Are you all honest, open and respectful of each other?" He asked.
"We don't lie to each other." Lynn spoke.
"Yeah, and we're definitely open and respectful." Lizzy answered like it was a gold star question. "We know what Devrie looks like under there and we swore a secret to never say. We think she's cool." Devrie hummed in appreciation.
"Cool. Well, in time we'll discuss about who the leader will be. But for now, I just need to show you a few moves. Regardless if your power is up close or ranged, you got to know how to handle yourself in close ranged combat. Even Raven knows how to swiftly dodge and deliver devastating kicks with her legs." The kids looked at the sorceress, whom slightly blushed from both the attention and the compliment. "Now, let me show you a demonstration. Beast Boy, come here please?" Once the shapeshifter went to him, the titan leader continued. "What's important is that you keep your arms up like this and keep your stance wide.
"Oh, sort of like boxers?" Sophie asked.
"To a degree. It keeps your face and neck protected along with your ribs. Like this." Beast Boy gave a few practice jabs, while Robin either blocked them, or deflected them to counter-attack with light punches. "Alright, each of you repeat what I did." After each one did so easily since it wasn't all that difficult, the titan leader resumed his lesson. "Good, you now know how to use defense, but now let's try some offense. As Beast Boy demonstrated, you want to go for the attacker's face. Especially the eyes and nose. You can't attack if you can't see or breath. Well, I can but that takes years of training. But since at the moment you won't have the height advantage, you're more likely to go for the groin."
"Why?" Sophie asked, which Robin blushed at since he didn't know how to properly explain this to children.
"Uhhh, well...when it comes to boys...we have balls for a reason that you're too young to know about in between our legs. And when we're hit there, it really hurts. It hurts girls too even though they lack said...balls...but it still hurts them regardless." Lizzy glanced at Steve and Lynn, having learned an advantage while they gulped. "Raven, if you'll demonstrate." Walking to her leader, he would try to grab at her before she would very gently bring her knee to his groin as to not hurt him. After the kids have practiced both the facial attacks and groin attacks, it was on to the next lesson. "Cyborg, come grab me from behind?" Going behind his leader, his big and strong took hold of the Boy Wonder's comparatively small and thin frame, restricting his arms. "If taken hold from behind, you stomp on their foot like this." Bringing down his foot, he stomped the metallic titan's right foot as hard as he could, making a clunk sound. "Now you try, but not as hard as you can." After doing so, they went on with several more lessens, like attacking the knee caps, clapping the ears and digging the thumb into the trachea, getting out of choke holds and dropping down from pick ups.(A/N:WikiHow on "How to defend yourself" Only fight if you have no way out to run, kids.")
"Alright! I'd say that now you can defend yourself from any close range attackers. Good job everyone!" All the kids cheered, though the boys were somewhat bruised from Lizzy enjoying the moves too much. "Alright, now that you know how to fight, each of the titans will teach you how to work as a team while teaching you how to hone your powers. Good luck." And that's how it went. When it was Cyborg's turn, he taught them how to push their powers to their limit, such as Steve growing and shrinking multiple things along with himself at the same time, Lynn a barrage of explosive bubbles even though it dehydrated him a bit, Lizzy with animating everything she could touch to form an army and Sophie to make herself turn into sponge like density to avoid being hurt, though they tested it out with just the tip of her pinky just to be safe. Last on the list was Devrie.
"Alright. Show me what you've got." The metallic titan challenged, preparing his sonic cannons and rockets, even though he wasn't intending on firing them. Crouching down, he thought he was hearing actual tension like a spring or muscle contracting, building up massive potential energy. And then, she jumped, reaching a high part of the back wall in a tenth of a second, before jumping off again to start a series of jumps all over the area, progressively getting faster and faster to the point Cyborg was flabbergasted by the speed of her jumps and reactions to not crash into anything.
"You want to know the animal with the highest jumps comparatively to their size?" Lizzy, giggling with excitement.
"Uh, what would that be?"
"Fleas." With one final jump, Devrie leapt and rolled right under Cyborg, pushing her legs out and literally kicking the metallic titan sky high, his scream rapidly becoming distant as he passed through several clouds. It literally took two minutes before Cyborg started coming back down, though he was using rocket boots and helicopter hands to compensate. When he finally reached the ground, he wobbled a bit. Turning around to inspect the damage, he saw two boot prints in his back. "Wow. You're quite the tiny powerhouse, are you? And you're age is what exactly?"
"10. She one time jumped the Golden Gate Bridge and back after a full tense up."
"Fast and powerful! I love it! Booyah, high five." While she didn't return the high five, she hummed in approval. "I got to ask you guys, is she a flea under all that get up?"
"We can't say. We promised." Sophie replied. "Well, keep it up Devrie. You're going to go far." As for the rest of the titans between alternating days, Beast Boy taught them how to adapt to the situation. Steve had to dodge by shrinking and returning to size with a counter attack in split seconds. Devrie practiced using her supreme agility to fight against progressively bigger animals that could also attack quickly. First a tiger, then a gorilla, and finally a cheetah. Lizzy used her animation ability to make an armor from said items like discarded car head caps. Sophie's ability unfortunately couldn't really use her ability to adapt since it was really straight forward: make things soft. But the most interesting was Lynn. Beast Boy showed him a pretty bulky lock.
"This here is a Master Mul-t-lock C-Series padlock. Body, shackle and shackle guard made of hardened steel. Nearly impossible to pick, bump or drill. Think you can bust it?"
"Of course." He replied. Setting the object down, Lynn produced a bubble as large as the lock, and let it drift down before it exploded. But that merely made the lock jump. Frowning, he tried again with a bigger bubble, which created more of a bang, but barely made a dent in the thing. This time creating five bubbles, he let them loose at the same time on it, but nary a scratch penetrated its bulk. "This is a tough lock. It won't break apart." He sighed with annoyance.
"Well, think of it like this. Sometimes it's not the big and powerful stuff that does the job done. Are locks water proof?" He asked slyly, swirling a wand in a bubble soap container before blowing his own harmless bubbles.
"Of course not. You need space to..." He paused as he realized something, looking at the container. Looking at his hand, he picked up the lock, and closed his eyes in concentration. What appeared to be sweat profusely coated the lock, getting into the mechanisms. Panting as he let go of his concentration and drinking some water he now kept at all times, he put the lock down and walked back, before activating the second part of his power. Suddenly, all the tiny bubbles inside the lock exploded, making it jump again. Beast Boy confidently walked up to the slippery lock, picked it up, and threw it at a brick wall, which it dismantled into pieces against. The kids and Mrs. Clement marveled at this.
"Congrats Lynn. You now know that if your bubbles can reach into anything, there's nothing you can blow up." Beast Boy praised.
"Yeah. Thanks Beast Boy." The emo kid replied with satisfaction, having downed the whole water bottle. And when it was the girl's turn:
"Tell me children, how is it that you have come to be friends?" Starfire asked.
"We're the only kids with powers, making us outcasts. So we fit right in together."
"But even then, is there something in your group dynamic that causes tension? Any annoyances?"
"I'm okay with everyone." Steve shrugged.
"I think Lizzy is too energetic and loud. It's like she's constantly on a sugar high." Lynn answered.
"Hey, don't knock positivity till you try it, Mr. Grumpy!" She defended herself, causing the emo kid to roll his eyes.
"Their personality clashes tend to scare me. I like Steve and Devrie." Sophie said softly, going over to them. Devrie hummed in approval while Steve smiled. Looking at the two kids that were glowering at each other, Raven stepped down to their eye level to get their attention.
"I know what you're going through. Starfire and I went through the same thing."
"Really?" Lizzy asked.
"Oh yes. There was this one time Raven and I swapped minds. We did not know how to use our powers because our use of them have been reversed." The Tamaranean warrior mentioned. "My powers rely on emotions, such as the joy of flight, the righteous fury of my starbolts, and boundless confidence in my strength."
"But my powers go out of control if too much emotion is put into them, so I have to repress my emotions so that they stay in control. So for a while, I couldn't use her powers while mine destroyed everything because she felt too much. She even accused me of being too busy being a rude grump to not feel anything. But after telling each other our stories, we learned how we worked and managed to get back into our correct bodies. So, is there anything you want to explain to each other?" The two kids looked at each other. If titans that had opposite personality could understand each other, why not them?
"Lynn, I...apologize about calling you grumpy and way too depressing and all that stuff. I act all happy all the time because if I spent my time like you, then nothing would ever feel as good as they could be. I just don't want my time here in the orphanage to be terrible is all." She explained herself sheepishly.
"I see. Honestly, I want to feel as much as you do. I wish I could. It's just..." He started to look uncomfortable. "I've been hurt too much. I didn't want to deal with my emotions. Their cruelty was too much. I've been here a couple of years longer than you so you don't know what I went through."
"You see?" Raven interjected. "Now you understand how each other works. One of the best things to have in a team is tolerance. Some situations will require that you agree to disagree, but don't try to force your point of view on others. Accept them for who they are, and that's where friendship can really grow." Looking at each other again, Lynn held out a hand while looking away.
"Uhh...want to be friends...or whatever?"
"Yeah." She answered, giving him a hug instead. All of the kids then came to hug Lynn then. He groaned from the exposure, but didn't protest either. For a smile it went like this, titans rotating shifts helping them grow both as individuals and a team.
One day, while each of the kids were having lunch away from everyone else, screams and cries could be heard from outside the orphanage. As they all ran to the windows, they saw an army of flying busts and robot teachers, and who other than to appear with these weird weapons, but Mad Mod.
"Come on out, little duckies!" He cried out. "I've come to adopt you all! But don't expect a hospitable stay, for I'm going to teach you all some proper manners so you don't wind up as those meddling titans! You'll be part of my army! AHAHAHAHA!" As the kids tried to run with Mrs. Clement's instructions, the 5 trainees stayed behind.
"This is it. Our first field engagement without the titans. Lynn, if you would?" Steve asked with a grin. Drinking some water in hand before throwing the bottle over his shoulder, he created a bubble between his hands before expanding it to the size of a beach ball. Pushing it out towards the wall, it exploded outward. This attracted the villain's attention as they each stepped out one by one. "What's this? Are you perhaps volunteering for my adoption?"
"No, we're defending our home. We are the Tween Titans." Steve denied before introducing.
"And we don't appreciate villains terrorizing where we live." Lynn added.
"Not only that, we'll beat you, and save the day!" Lizzy shouted.
"And if you think we can't, we'll still find a way." Sophie whispered, the only one feeling nervous about facing an army.
"Oi, who do you brats think you are?! Calling yourselves titans. Bah, seems like I'll have to give you lot a big whopping. Attack!" All the robots then charged at them.
"Titans, GO!" Lizzy screamed with a warrior's cry as Steve and Devrie ran ahead, acting as the front line while the three others hung back to prepare. Steve grew in size and jumped, letting his now 15 foot tall large being body slam into the teacher army. Getting up, he saw he was surrounded by the robots aiming their lasers at him, but he grinned as he shrunk down to just over a foot and a half tall, just quickly enough for them to fire upon themselves, destroying the ring around himself.
"Not bad, not bad at all." He chuckled. Devrie was being quite the agile fighter as she incorporated Robin's martial moves, and they proved to be quite effective as she leapt over them, kicking their heads off, blocking their attacks if they tried punching or kicking her, and even at one point kicking a flying bust into a group of robot teachers, knocking them down like bowling pins. As the rest came for the three others...or more like two since Lizzy went into a toy store, it was up to Lynn and Sophie. Letting his hands saturate with bubbles, he yelled as he sent a small wave of his bubbles across the ground, making it slippery so that the teachers approaching slipped and fell to the ground. Sophie then slid across the bubbles, grabbing each of the robot's heads and squishing them with her powers. And if any busts tried aiming at her, they were exploded by bubble bullets that Lynn created with his index fingers, his hand like a pretend gun.
"Bang." He quipped.
"This ain't how its supposed to go. Time to send in reinforcements." Mad Mod grumbled before pressing a button, which summoned more robots for them to fight. Even with their strength and speed, they had to back up from the sheet numbers of them. Even when he increased his size to 15 feet and shrunk the robots down to either 2 feet teachers or 3 inch busts, their numerous amount of lasers still stung against his skin, which started to show damage and burns as he protected Devrie. Lynn was running out of bubbles to create due to hydration, his body appearing to be dry and pale looking as he panted.
"Sophie, get back!" He rasped, sounding incredibly thirsty. She ran back behind him, shaking off the bubbles as they started to surround them. With a snap of his fingers, the entire area that was filled with bubbles blew up, taking a decent chunk of the teachers, but that still left the busts. They fired their lasers, and Lynn covered Sophie with a hug in an effort to protect her, but they didn't get hurt. Opening his eyes, he saw a wall of living lego with burnt holes in them. Busting out of the store was Lizzy in a lego tank, rolling on down. Opening the hatch, she greeted her friends.
"Hello! Yeesh, you don't look so hot Lynn. Here's another water." She tossed him a water bottle, which he nodded in appreciation. A laser barely missed Lizzy, making the red head yelp in surprise before ducking back into her tank. Turning it towards the busts, it fired cannonballs made of lego that exploded with each impact, drawing their attention. This provided Sophie the opportunity she needed, running in between them to squish and splat them down to the ground with her powers by just simply slapping them.
Getting tired of Steve acting as a shield for her, Devrie leapt over his huge body and hopped around, confusing the robots with her increasing speed. Unfortunately, a robot she was about to kick exploded due to Lizzy's lego's and she crashed into a wall.
"Devrie!" Steve cried out, but it was too late as she was bombarded by a multitude of lasers, obscuring her body as smoke and dust was made from the lasers also destroying the wall and sidewalk around her. As they all waited in despair, or hope in Mad Mod's case, the dust cleared to show something truly grotesque. Turns out that her backwards legs and trilling wasn't just a couple of bug traits she had, but the girl was literally a girl that was half bug. Her eyes were black and compounded with her mouth in the shape of insectoid mandibles. Antennae shot through her hair. Her skin didn't appear to be made of skin but a brown exoskeleton that extended all over her body, arms and legs, stopping at her hands and feet. Her backwards legs had film between the tibia and tarsus of her legs. Only the boots remained of her clothes covering her feet.
"What in the bloody hell?! That is the most disgusting living...thing I've ever seen!" Mad Mod cried out, covering his eyes from the insect girl. She growled in rage as she started trilling as loud as she could. With each second of her trilling, bugs started to crawl or fly from wherever they were, and swarmed around the robots, crawling inside their bodies and short circuiting them by tearing their insides apart. Her friends gazed in terrified awe at the amount of insects she called and how ferociously they were being dismantled. "Agh! This is getting too disgusting! I'm bugging out of here!" He tried to run, but with a simple leap, she easily closed the distance between them, and and pushed him down on the ground, pinning both of his arms with only one of her own, strong enough to keep the man in place. He struggled, but with her leg on his upper back, it was no use. She stooped down, her face right in front of his, forced to see himself in her compound eyes. A type of drool was dripping from her mandibles. They opened up, like she was going to eat his face. "Okay, okay, I give up! Don't eat me!" He sobbed, terrified for his life. Devrie closed her mouth, ghoulishly chuckling with satisfaction, before punching him out cold with her free arm.
"Don't worry kids, we're here to-" Robin's voice called to the kids, only for the main titans to be surprised by the scene. All of the robotic army was destroyed, and while some were hurt in the process, they've won the day. The street was little with blast holes, bubbles, bugs and lego pieces.
"Wait, it's over already?" Jinx asked, before seeing Devrie and cringing back. "Yeesh, what is that?!" The little girl hissed in anger, but Steve was able to place a hand on her shoulder.
"SHE..." He emphasized in annoyance. "...is our friend, Devrie. She's just a girl that has a bug body is all. And she's cool. She is the one that took down Mad Mod after all."
"Okay okay, sorry. I was just caught off guard is all." The pink haired metahuman apologized quickly, her arms raised defensively.
"So this is what you really look?" Beast Boy asked her. She looked away, since nobody aside from her friends and houseparent accepted her. "You look so cool!" He remarked, surprising her. "I mean, you got insectoid armor, some powerful legs for jumping and kicking, I mean, you look awesome!"
"What did I tell you? Of course they'd think you're cool." Steve told his friend. Whom only nodded after slowly accepting it. The rest of the kids came up to the older titans.
"And you took Mad Mod? All by yourself?" Cyborg asked.
"Sure did! Look at my lego tank over there!"
"Glorious! Our training has been the success! We need to celebrate!" Starfire cheered.
"I think I know how." Robin said.
A week later, The titans were in front of a news press, whom was recording the momentous event.
"Jump City, as Teen Titan leader, it is an honor that my team and I have been able to not only raise a new team, but accept them as part of the titans. Or specifically in their group as they're not teenagers yet: The Tween Titans. He went down one by one, handed a communicator to Devrie, Lizzy, Steve, Lynn and Sophie. "Would you like to introduce yourselves?"
"Steve-O-Size!" Steve started off.
"Bubboom." Lynn said.
"Softie." Sophie said.
"Lively Lizzy, and my friend here is mute, so you can call her Insectiva." Lizzy spoke for her friend, whom was wearing a new outfit. She now wore a black cowl that let her head be masked, but let her antennae poke out through the top, along with her hair and mouth being out in the open. She wore a white leotard that covered her body and arms to contrast with her dark hands and legs, wearing new boots as well. She buzzed with a nod. Then they all began to speak.
"Together, we'll protect the streets, as the Tween Titans!"
A/N: Finally, it's done! Again, sorry it took so long. What do you think of the Tween Titans? Interesting interactions and powers, huh? So, I have a couple of ideas. I want to cover Dreams next, but honestly in my opinion, it's just too good of an episode for me. No complaints. The only parts that would need fixing are Robin and Beast Boy's dreams, or else I'd have to create an entire new episode that revolved around their dreams but feel more original Teen Titans like without losing the 'GO!' aspect of it. I don't know, I'm open to whether or not you want me to fix Dreams. But something I do want to fix, if slightly higher than Dreams is 'Puppets whaaaat?', the season finale. I even already have an idea. Ignoring the original TT episode, let's say this is the Puppet King's intro, and he tries to befriend the Titans with his magic. But then he tricks them and they turn into puppets, though still retain their wills and movement, so they have to beat him. Think you can make a more complete story with that Eris? That'd be much appreciated. Let me know what you think of this chapter and the two I suggested. I am reall looking forward to writing either of those. Thank you.
