Teen Titans – Side Stories and After – Snippets; Foxes Upon Foxes and Magical Girls Galore

/

Magical Animal Control Squad – Part One

/

Based off of the series Animal Control on FX and Hulu. Not the best, but it is pretty silly. Will be the Titans' kids in an Ami – sized scenario or virtual reality of her crafting – with Raku of course to say "I tod you so."

/

"So; we got roped up again into one of Ami's games, and are now…"

Ava looked over to her crew; her siblings and Jackie during a Memorial Day bar – b – q in the sunniest part of the country.

And Ami had been hooked on a new show that Anna had sneaked into her down time….

Ami took after, and before they knew it?

"We are in…the show??"

"And where is my Jaxter?? Waa!"

/

"We are, on the force?" Aiden shook his head at Raku who was gaping at the scene of an office; his body changed to an adult's like the others, a uniform in blue and black covered him from head to foot.

"This….is nothing like Uncle Gordon's work." Ava frowned and tried to understand why she'd sung by to check up on her family, when she had a mountain of decrees to stamp at her icy castle in the far north.

"Oh! A puppy! I call dibs!" Ami leaped over as a rather tall and scruffy looking adult nearly tripped over the child in a woman's body. The teens came out of their shells as the figure's face went and did a double take.

"Uh -oh…. he's got a crush…" Gulped Aiden as Anna nudged her brother to shut up a second.

"Frank!"

"Oh, hi Em. You called in the cavalry? They look like they just found out we existed."

"I…I came from the next town over; these are my trainees and we were sent by our squad captain to see to the workings of your department if these new recruits are ever going to make the cut."

"It's not military training, lil lady." Chuckled this "frank" fellow to Anna. He was older than he appeared, and she sensed a lot of sarcasm from that wise gut mouth of his. No better than her mentor, Slade…Damn.

"Well, actually. Technically; it's a form of police training and lot of our team have been in military settings before, so…yeah. It kind of is, Frank. Don't scare the new kids. Not this time."

Emily was on their side? Aiden actually wanted to talk to her, see if they could get back home.

"Ok, so…we just let anybody join?" Scruffy Frank started to imitate an old timer to tick his boss of, as if they were besties. "Why, back in my day –

"In your day, you had to fight for survival." Another man from a desk farther towards the offices, looking to be Indian or south east Asian in descent to some degree had a donut in hand and was working on a butt load of papers he had planted on his desk, in his cubical.

"No one asked you, Ravi." Frank rolled his head back and sighed, dismissing the annoying cut - in from a co worker of his rather love -hate relations…

Oh, God. There she was.

"Mornin' everyone! What's with the long faces? Even if I'm in late today, tomorrow I might show up with more coffee…unless I'm not…. Ah, what's the problem with Frank?"

She turned and saw, but Ava couldn't be mistaken by the Aussie brunette's question.

"Turn off the charm, newbie. He'll roast you alive, and I can't get you out of his apartment at nine am –

"Hey!" Emily was the one to push that no- no button. "We're at work. No flirt - talking on the job, jeeze…"

"Um…heh…I was just trying to be friendly with these little guys…" Vicky chuckled and walked into the break room, ignoring most of the conversation until she popped her head out a moment later. Bored. Maybe some ADHD traits in there.

Due to being Starfire and Dick's very youngest, Ami however was almost as pretty as half of their children. And, of course, a Tamaranean's looks never fooled a single soul. Ami was an adult in this world, but she couldn't consent and no one else knew what to do about Frank's gawking eyes.

"I can always–

" No magic." Aiden warned in a whispered hiss, not only Raku, but to Ava as well. She was tempted to use Seattle's cold temps for her own benefit to freeze the older man to floorboards.

/

"Frank is smitten with that newbie." Victoria Sands was the woman who'd "quote on quote," put the siblings on the spot. Ami was being targeted – this wasn't ok…

"She knows how to say no…but what if THIS Ami is way to unwilling to hurt his feelings?" Ava spoke to her family as they all nodded. Raku raised a hand, getting a wolf whistle as the next to do that…would have had a lawsuit had they known what age these new recruits really were.

"We have to tell him to stop, or….it could get ugly?"

"That's your answer to anything, Annie." Aiden rolled his eyes to the idea. "What else? Go to the boss? Speak up? Come on! –

"Oh! Cool!"

Aiden turned and for some reason, Ava might have melted by his aura of snowfall.

"He…knows, cold." She giggled, now attracted to…

"Freddy! Did you come by to see if we could have Frank over there put up with you?" Pouted Victoria, who was obviously the biggest teasing jokester in the facility.

"No, Vic. I heard about there being new blood at the precinct an…oh, wow. Your hair is super white!"

"Can –

"It is…a defect, I tried to dye it back but…you know…bleach…hee."

"Holy shit." Aiden gawked as Anna just ignored her brother's voice for now. "Ava is in love?"

/

"Frank…. Uh, we have a call on –

"On it. I don't want Templeton getting all the good hot spots before me." He bounded off to suit up, and saw Ami as she blushed and walked away. He got an idea, a really bad one as Raku offered to be of service.

"I'm a bit of an empathist. You'll need me on your team."

"I was hoping to show the new kid around town, a…. this is awkward –

"It's also your job."

"Ravi! Shut up please."

"Ah, so I can go?"

Raku looked at the adult eagerly as he started to see a cracked smile appear on the older man's face.

"Only if she can watch the master at work. We don't have enough hands to help out around here as it is."

"If you get handsie, I'll know."

Vicky stopped by as Frank winced from the comeback kid's words.

"Victoria will maul your ass like a grizzly. It's true."

Fred stepped in to add goofily as Ava raised her hand. "I'll go with Fred if Anna and Aide can go with Ravi and Victoria for us? Report anything so we can take it back to the big boss." She smiled to her teams.

It was a totally strange alternate reality right now and everyone just…went along with it.

Which was even stranger.

"Animal control officers have to have one of two things –

"Follow through and be tactful. No screwing up."

"Integrity, or you'll get cut up by a cougar…."

"A really good back up plan, um…in case you let an entire swarm of rats out of the science lab."

"And…...donuts!"

In each car, was a different lesson to be learned.

In each car, the woes of adulthood didn't seem so fun to three of the bunch.

Ami actually made sure to act like a complete doof to throw off her admirer's advances. It didn't work, so it had to be her sun goddess magic doing this.

"What was the call for again?" Aiden asked Victoria as she smirked at the dash before tilting her brunette bangs his way. "We're gonna join in; I have a prank – oh, I'm the boss at those, did Frank or Ravi not tell you?"

"No..." Aiden shook his head, ears hearing something a bit juvenile. "What, pranks? Is that even legal??"

/

Raku stayed up front as Ami stayed in the back, he was her knight now. He had to protect her kawaii – ness or something until they were alone long enough…to find a way back into their reality.

"Hem! So, uh…. Amelia, right? Fun name. Ah, you and the cow poke up here are from –

"Around!" Raku blurted out, hopelessly. Even as an adult, he was still kind of a curl tail without Ignito or his counterparts to help with his understanding of the mortal word.

"Ah, yeah. We just came to Seattle…."

Ami used her hands to sign and mime what Raku could formulate on his own.

"After finishing our training course…of course."

However, this wily fox looked to be cunning as well as wiser to the two.

"One thing; you never do my job. I do my job, and you two are my responsibility, but I don't care…unless you get mauled by a grizzly."

"A…. bear?"

"Empathist. Huh. Never heard that one on an interview." Shrugged Frank. "Are you from the back door of the academy, or family member of the last chief? I swear, they need to fix –

"Ah! Over there!" Ami pointed to the animal crossing in front of their –

Oh no…

"Griffin???" Raku gasped.

"No, gotta be a prank." Frank parked and was about to leave the van to go check it out, when Raku panicked and karate chopped the dope right in the shoulder blades.

"She said, no!"

"Raku!!" Ami cried out. Too late, as Frank slumped in the driver's seat. Both adults trying not to panic.

"Can we even catch one of those??" Ami squealed, ignoring the human in the van who was clearly unconscious at that point.

"I, don't know…. I don't think so…. not in this body…"

"What about your book?" Ami snapped her fingers and recalled. "Ignito –

"He won't come, I've been trying but…we aren't on our plane. This is "another – realm" He dictated, shakily. "We have to catch it…with whatever…."

"I'm waking him up –

"No! He tried to pursue you." Raku protested this course of action, strongly. Fists to his sides. "Frank will only get in the way if my powers do end up working."

"Well, do you know how to use any of this stuff," She motioned, "That an Animal Control officer uses?"

/

Aiden wasn't having the best luck.

They were tailing Templeton.

To pull a prank.

On the force.

Did Ami actually finish the first season of this cartoon logic?? It was-

"A unicorn. Waait…" Victoria looked at her cell, then at Ravi, who was also completely stumped.

"That…can't be…holy –

"Maybe…it's a prank?" Aiden threw up his hands in a shrug. "We can do better, maybe…I think."

/

Ava was eying the hungry, hunky, hippo that was Shred. He had been a snow boarder, of course! That was why she was…

Turning into a giggling google - eyed woman.

"Are you cool with stoppin' for a snack? This job is way too drab, and I really need a pick me up about this hour."

"Ah, sure." Ava agreed to stay in character. She was technically the oldest of her little squad, and God forbid Anna got the upper hand. She was…. doing research. Yeah. This wasn't a….

"Ah, crap."

Fred looked out his window to see what was actually happening on the road –

"Um, we may be held up. Can you call…Vicky and let her know we'll be in traffic…a lot longer. Sorry, Ava."

Ava did gawk, but at a rather funny spectacle that could relatively turn into a full-blown disaster.

"Wonder if they were filming something." Fred scratched his chin and didn't seem to upset.

"I think…We should talk about the elephant in the room here…" Ava gulped. Crash turned to her, a confused look in his bright eyes. "What' do you mean?"

"I'm…not from here, my team is actually –

A band of zoo animals as tall as sky scrapers walked across the throughway.

"Sorry, but I think you'll have to miss that snack…"

/

"You mean…you came from…" Ravi gulped in a breath as Anna was the first to spill the beans.

"Another dimension, and you don't think that those wild "creatures" are supposed to be here. Because …"

Frank was awake, but not very pleased to know what Ami was or wasn't. It kind of made him feel upset at his own lust for once. "Ouch, ok then. You're not crazy and you're not a rabid cult on the run from the authorities –

Victoria didn't fare any better with Aiden's explanation.

"So, you came here by mistake because Amelia can use magic due to the little guy, Raku or whatever being….an immortal from another time line?? What? Did you inhale my stuff back in the van?"

"No! I'm serious about all of it. My sister is a magical vassal to a goddess and protector in Japan in our time. Anna and I are children of a hero and an alien princess on our earth who were brought together by the "little guy" Raku, who is actually a demi – God who's not yet in his real form. Ava is a princess from the same world, different time than Raku. She has ice magic and moon…It's complicated… We got here because –

"My stupid sister is obsessed with this show…you don't know, but in our world, you are on a series called Animal Control."

Anna told Ravi as he was a fish out of water. "A FOURTH WALL BREAK?? WHAT??"

"Ahh, this is dope! Wow, so you were attracted to me, because I was a snow -head back in the day. Wow…you really are a –

Fred was interrupted as Ava realized what a man baby this snow – ball was.

" Anyway! We have to –

The teens of each group side said in unison from different parts of the area…

" Stop those animals from getting loose!!"
