Chapter 1
FamilyTies
“Come on, you gotta say something…please”
“I don't have to say anything”
“Don't be a drag, Rae, just two or three words, is that too much to ask.”
“From you, it is.”
“Just leave her alone BB, you've been begging for the past half hour. I'm surprise she hasn't stuff that camera down your throat yet.”
The one referred to as BB, which stood for Beast Boy, sighed before dropping the video recorder to his side. He turned his head to the long couch to wear his fellow male teammates of the Teen Titan's were sitting comfortably playing a new racing game on their new PS3.
“Don't give me the idea,” Raven replied as her eyes slowly traced the words of her new Steven King book. It was safe to say that she was more into the book than she was the conversation.
“But Raven,” Beast Boy pleaded from his spot in front of her, ignoring the comment that was made on his life, “I just want to have a family video of us.”
“Another family video,” Cyborg asked as his body involuntarily leaned to the right, following the movements of his virtual car.
“Isn't that your third one?” Robin asked, his eyes never leaving the screen, yet narrowed when Cyborg's car managed to past him. He ignored the shout of glee from the half-robotic man as his tongue slipped out of his mouth to the side in concentration.
“You guys are totally missing the point here,” Beast Boy yelled out as his flung his arms around madly.
He produced a remote from God-knows-where and pressed play, dramatic patriotic music started playing from one could guess; the abyss, perhaps?
Beast Boy, in an army uniform, stood in the middle of the room as the lights and everyone else seem to disappear and a spotlight shined brightly on him with the American flag, with small pictures of the five Titans on it, waving proudly behind him
“My friends, my family, not only am I creating art here, but I am preserving our name, our honor, and our cause. I vow to capture our every proud moment, so future Titans can follow by lead and example, which is our own.” The beating drums in the background ware increasing in volume. “We have a duty to our society to leave our legacy down for history, and the only way to properly do it is by my selfless act of creating videos of our every day lives and-”
Beast Boy's speech was caught off when Raven snatched up the remote and pressed stop. The spotlight was turned off and the rest of the lights in the common room were turned back on, including the PS3 game and the TV, which now read, loading.
Two titans seethed.
The air was filled with cheerful clapping as Starfire appeared in the room, smiling brightly. “Oh that was most entertaining Beast Boy,” the alien laughed joyfully, “How do you do it.” Starfire grasped the remote in her hands and randomly pressed a button, in a second, 70's music was playing and disco ball lowered itself from the room. She laughed again, beginning to dance before an annoyed Raven took the remote back and once again pressed the stop button.
“Beast Boy, I thought you were told to disconnect this.” Raven said holding up the remote.
The green changeling rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling nervously, “I uh…I forgot.”
“You forgot?” Raven asked disbelieving the teen titan's story.
“Well you see…”
“Beast Boy,” an ominous voice spoke from behind him. He slowly turned around and flinched back when an angry Cyborg and Robin entered his view.
“Hey guys…hehe…what's up?” His hands made a movement automatically to scratch the back of his neck, when the eyes of his fellow titans narrowed freezing the action.
“How many times do I have to tell you, you little grass stain, that that little remote you have is taking up too much power in the tower.” Cyborg snarled
“So-sorr-” His cry was cut short when Robin leaped at the surprised Beast Boy, tackling said boy to the floor. Cyborg faulted at his leader's action but smirked and dove right in the rolling battles.
Yelps and grunts were heard as the three boys rolled around the carpet.
Starfire looked on, from her position next to Raven watching the game with a glee.
“The piling of the dog, I love this game. Let us join in, Raven.” Starfire giggled and before the disagreeing dark bird could make a clear argument on why joining that `game' wasn't a good idea, she was pulled harshly by her wrist by the orange alien who didn't know her own strength.
The camera, which was set upon the dining table, just before the big speech, was currently recording the actions of the five teen titans who were rolling around on the floor wrestling and laughing.
Even Raven chuckled when one of her elbows `accidently' rammed into the green beast stomach,
The camera caught the moment when the rolling came to a stop and call Titans were locked in an impossible angle with each other's limbs and couldn't move. The screams of immobility were heard.
“Get off,” “Don't touch that” “Stop poking me” “I feel someone's teeth…” “This is so much fun.” “Right, real fun—Ahhh” “Stop touching that,” “You're, ha-ha, tickling me…hic” “someone will die…” “I thought it was-eep!” “Stop pulling.” “STOP MOVING”
Raven sighed and growled and tried to move but it was impossible from her legs under Star and her torso half over Beast.
“I can't move,” Robin grunted out, his head rested on Raven's side, his left arm under him, his right under Beast Boy's with Cyborg heavily on top of him.
“No one can,”
Starfire tried to tug her arm free but stopped when Raven yelped at the pull of her head, apparently some of the female birds hair was stuck to her uniform.
“This was not the planned outcome of the piling of the dog.” Starfire said but the smile couldn't be etched off her face, and although from their angle no one could see her smile, but they felt it, and it was just as contagious.
The group stopped their futile act of trying to free themselves, for a moment.
Raven sighed as she stared at the ceiling over head, inwardly upset about the fact that she could have been finishing another chapter in her book.
“I told you guys, buying a video camera for Beast Boy was a hazard for everyone's health.” Raven muttered.
The camera caught the comment and the laughter which followed moment's later. The CD inside later would be called, Family Ties.
“My neck is killing me,” Robin complained as his hand went to message the kink out of his neck.
It was an hour after the Dog Pile when the Titans managed to free themselves from one another's limbs, and everyone was currently doing what they were before the commotion broke out. Raven was sitting at the dining table reading, Robin and Cyborg returned to their game, but now Starfire watched them, and Beast Boy was sitting at the opposite side of the long couch watching the video replay itself.
“Shall I massage them for you?” Starfire asked sitting up with an innocent shine in her eyes which caused the boy wonder in pain to flinch. She was sitting next to him, with her pet Silkie, the earthworm that was the size of a house cat with the colors of cotton candy.
“No thanks, Star. I'm better now.” Robin had been under excruciating pain from the last time Starfire attempted to give him a massage, the girl just didn't know her own strength.
“Am I not good enough?” Starfire asked hopping to her knees, missing the fact that Silkie was now upside down on the floor with his eyes glazed over. Starfire clasped her hands together, her eyes watery.
Robin smiled sheepishly at the alien who he was currently courting, wondering how to break it to her that he just didn't want to be bedridden for a week long again, without hurting her feelings.
He took her hands in his own and kissed them softly.
“It's not that Star…it's just-uh-yeah…I mean to say is-” He was gratefully interrupted when the lights in the room flashed warning red, and the alarm went off. Inwardly he prayed all listening ears for being pardoned, outwardly he jumped up.
“No time, another one, let's go” Robin yelled out as his team fell into the quick routine.
The routine was simple, find out who was causing trouble, go into the city and stop whoever was causing trouble, hand them over to the police, maybe swing around for pizza and then go home.
However, as the Titan's rushed around, they didn't realize that their simple routine was about to be interrupted
Robin jumped on his R-Cycle, Starfire took to the sky, and Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy, hopped the T-Car; in no time they were rushing down the streets of Jump City.
“Titans, be on your guard,” Robin stated as his hands levitated above his belt, ready to reach for his weapons in a second's time.
The team had arrived on the scene at Jump City's Twilight Museum, to find the door wide open but no one inside. On the roof on the museum they noticed a figure studying them, before they turned away.
The Titans gave pursuit, rushing onto the roof, where they caught the glimpse of the person, before he jumped to the next.
The person wore a long golden robe with the hood pulled up, preventing the Titans from seeing the person's face. They followed none-the-less over the building of Jump City, toward the harbor. The Titans knew that they had to make a move soon or the criminal would get away.
The titans made a move, Raven spoke three words and her magic was at hand, a solid black wall shot up from the ground in front of the criminal. The perpetrator faltered before back flipping off the roof.
“CYBORG NOW,” Robin yelled out, and a blue and white electric beam surged past his head, hitting the free falling criminal, who was blasted into the window of a warehouse behind him.
Robin nodded and Starfire and Raven flew through the window, their power glowed at the tip of their fingertips. The two girls scanned the warehouse seeing the boxes stacked against the walls, and lowered down to the floor.
“I don't feel anything here,” Raven muttered.
“How can that be, he fell in here,” Starfire asked, she held the green glow in her hand up to lighten the room.
“Where are you?” Raven muttered low, her eyes searching for any signs of movements, as Robin Beast Boy and Cyborg entered the two story building. The two girls shook their heads when the boys met up with them.
“I don't like this,” Robin growled grabbing his Bo staff from his belt. They stood back to back, scanning the room. “Come out, we know you're here,”
The room was filled with an eerie silence.
“I'll sniff him out,” Beast Boy said before transforming into a blood hound. The green dog sniffed the air, before turning to a stack of boxes, growling. Robin wasted no time in throwing a flash disk in that direction.
An excruciating bright light followed the explosion, causing the Titans to cover their eyes, and then they heard it.
The laugher started as a small chuckle, and turned into a full blast cynical laugh.
“What is that, it is most fearsome?” Starfire asked stepping back into the group.
“I don't know, but I don't like it.” Cyborg growled scanning the area trying to pinpoint the voice, but it was still to bright to see properly.
“TITANS, welcome.” The light finally dissipated, and footsteps made it toward the group who formed in practice attack formation.
From the dark corner of the room, a woman appeared. The glow of the moonlight through the window hit the woman in a way that she gave a surreal glow. She walked towards the group with an air which commanded attention.
She was tall and full figured, with piercing black eyes and brown hair that stopped at her waist. She wore a red and gold robe, which flowed serene to the floor. Both wrists held several of color bracelets yet one stood out. On the right was a golden bracelet with a large pendant that fit fully into her palm in the shape of a Cross. On her left wrist was a silver bracelet with a large pendant that fit fully in his left hand in the shape of pentagram
“Welcome Titans, I shalt welcome thee to thy end.” She smiled as held out her palms. Each pendant illuminated against her hands.

A/N: Not much to say except that this chapter represents the calm before the storm, that's just about it. This character who I'm introducing plays a big part in the story, but she herself isn't a big character.
It's my corny attempt at comedy but it really is suppose to show how family-like and close the Titans are, because that strength about them is a very strong quality in my story.
Any Questions? I'll answer.
Please review.
