Description: You can think of a better name? Bleh!

Harm looked outside of his room, listening to all the noise going on outside. The Titans decided that they were going to throw a huge barbeque at the Tower, and they'd invite all of their friends. Sure, after all of the chaos that went on recently, the Titans could use some time to mellow out. Sure, it'd probably be fun. But did they have to invite all their friends? He was in Hell at the time, but he'd read about what happened the last time an enourmous bunch of heroes got in the same place at the same time. Someone took advantage of the situation and switched everyone's age. Made him glad he wasn't a member of Young Justice or The Titans when that happened. He had a weird feeling something else like that would go down at this Barbeque. "Eh, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Robin must be rubbing off on me."
While Harm was brooding, Supersonic was running around like mad. Him and his motorcycle were going all around the globe giving invitations to the various teen superheroes. Supersonic stopped as he reached Gotham. "Yeah, last time I was here I wrecked and RV. Besides Robin's already going, Superboy said something about inviting Batgirl. And I seriously doubt Batman's coming." Supersonic jets off again to deliver more invitations.

Cassie threw her book bag down on her bed.
Sh picked up the bear from her bed and held him close as she sat on her bed sulking.
"Why should i have to retake the exams...i was saving the world when we covered the modual
You want to know the affects of Apokilips on a superhero costume...fine!!
You want to know about plant life on New Genisis....Can do that!!
What are the Gods on Olympus really like....I'll be in trouble but sure.
But retaking algebra is just unfair!!"
She proped up the bear against her knees......She wanted to see the person, who gave her it. But without a valid reason to leave the school.....
Cissie came in, handing her her mail. "You got one from TT.Org. No suprise who thats from."
Cassie opened the letter. "Hey Ciss, you up for a P.A.R.T...WHY??"
She looked at the bear.
Yeah, that was why.
Shinobi - April 5, 2004 11:05 PM (GMT)
Shinobi or rather adam as at the moment he was out of costume and in the tower as well walked out of the kitchen with a sandwich. "i hate crowds." He muttered as he found his way outside as he pulled his mask back over. his face (hey if the others r in costume shinobi better be too right? and no one said anyone was out of costume)
Falcon - April 6, 2004 02:32 AM (GMT)
>>Hey guys, I'm back...
Just curious, is this before or after 'Finding my way' or should we do it as a parrallel story and have the body switch be a reason for falc to come back a short time? Darn me and sending my character away to 'improve herself'! Meh.<<
Robin - April 6, 2004 05:26 PM (GMT)
>>I'd say before 'Finding my way'. That way it explains Rachel being there and we can have one more story of Robin and Falcon as a couple. Then when we do the 'YJ 3.0 Origin', we can have it after 'Finding my way'. You dig?<<
Robin was standing on the lawn outside the Titans Tower where the barbeque was set up to be, holding a clipboard and going over his notes. He still wasn't sure HOW he ended being on the organizing committee, but he was stuck with it. He was still pretty sure Superboy had signed him up without telling him.
"Alright... twenty cases of hamburgers, twenty cases of hotdogs..." Robin paused as he saw Kid Flash race past holding what appeared to be six hotdogs. He quickly scratched out something on his clipboard and made a change. "Correction... thirty cases of Hotdogs... and One six pack of toffu dogs for Beast Boy."
Robin gave a sigh. This had originally be intended as a small party with the Titans. After the events with Secret and Apokolips, they all needed a break, that was for certain. And yet somehow it seemed every teenaged hero they had ever met had been invited.
Frankly Robin wasn't all too anxious about this whole thing. The Teen Titans (and once upon a time Young Justice) seemed to have very bad luck when it came to having a large group of heroes in one place. Memories of the 'Sins of the Youth' and 'Invasion of Zandia' filled the Boy Wonder's mind.
Turning his gaze to the large prision not far from Titan's Island in the San Fransico Bay, Robin gave another sigh. "With our luck Alcatraz will probably have a mass prision outbreak or something..."
Suddenly Kid Flash sped by with what appeared to be eight hamburgers and a case of Mountain Dew. "Oh boy... maybe we should have gone out for Pizza..."
(Minor appearance of Kid Flash was merely an small NPC for humor.)
Shinigami - April 6, 2004 08:17 PM (GMT)
Duo Merquise twiddled the loose sheet of paper between her fingers as she strided down the corridors of Elias High, her waist-length chestnut hair cascading behind her, as she had left it down due to the constant pestering she had recieved from Cissie to "have variation in hairstyle".
Duo brushed a few stray strands over her shoulder, scowling as they returned to their postion infront of her face once more...<perhaps I should threaten to shave my head?> Duo thought with a vauge smile, <that would be a variation...perhaps it'll make Cissie happy to leave me with my braid!>
Duo checked the invitation she held in her hand again...a BBQ sounded interesting, it would be good to see everyone again since most people had taken a time out after the "Apokolips Road Trip".
She entered the room and nodded a greeting to Cassie and Cissie, making a bee-line to the dresser and grabbing a hair tie, within seconds she was securing the end of her traditional braid...ignoring the look she was getting off Cissie.
"It was annoying me!" she muttered in defence.
Turning to Cassie she saw the discarded invite..."I see you got one too...I take it your going?"
atlantis - April 6, 2004 08:30 PM (GMT)
"Am I going? Of course!!" Cassie pushed her math books back in her bag.
"I need to see Tim about how he handles school and...extra curricular activitys"
Cissie smiled at her friend. "Also she wants to see a certain guy, one who likes evil and teddybears....Right Cass?"
Cassie blushed "Shut up....or everyone hears about Adam" She poked out her tongue.
"Go ahead, i'm not going anyway...i have to go to archery practice with my mom, I gon't get gold medals out of packs of Trix you know."
"Are you sure?" Cassie asked, concerened. "In that case can I borrow your black skirt?"
Greta walked in as Cissie knocked Cassie off the bed with a pillow.
"So your going too then?" She indicated the invites. She was worried how people would act around her.
Robin - April 6, 2004 08:56 PM (GMT)
>>So are we going to do that posting schedule or are we going to post as we please? Just out of curiousity.<<
Marx - April 6, 2004 09:18 PM (GMT)
(Until the voting's done it's as we please, giving other's time to post of course)
Walker Boh - April 6, 2004 10:01 PM (GMT)
>>Ok, good. I wasn't sure if I should post or not. Well, Marx told me to get all my flying in before someone else uses them :P :( <<
On this day, Cyborg could see, the sun was burning high in the sky. All about him the smells of the everpresent barbeque were entering his system. The foods smelled so delicous and the team seemed to be having so much fun. Cyborg, from hi place in the tower, was able to see Robin checking off some items on a list, accompanied by the young Flash running back and forth. Cyborg heard all of the heroes were invited. How many heroes would that be? Out in the open no less. something was bound to happen. Yet Cyborg had to shake away the feeling. He had no proof.
Cyborg walked down the few flights of stairs and reached the barbeque. Not all had made it, it seemed. cyborg then moved up some feet and his ears caught the traveling sound waves of Robin's voice. He was apparently in charge of the food list, and such.
"Hello Robin." Cyborg called out.
Cyborg looked before him and saw many boxes. he figured he hadn't anything better to do. Why not unpack alll of the foods.
Far off in the distance. Near the kingdom of Markovia a man with flaming red hair was circulating the city. His thoughts were on many things. His ruling over markovia coming to an end, his nephew coming of age and his actions. So many things were in his mind. He needed to get away and clear his mind. What better way to do it than to fly. He then brought about a faint smile. After a short wile his vision was blocked by some hair. He shut off the energy from his right arm, which was letting out his blasts of heat and cranked up the juice to the opposite one. He then brushed away the stray hair from his eyes. He had gotten used to the strong winds some time ago, yet he still needed to see to be able to fly correctly.
His mind then settled and focused on one being. One soul female who was able to push away all other thoughts. A young woman with a darker blond hair. Tara. His siter. He was the only one who knew the truth and he was the only one who would ever know. Unless she decided otherwise.
After about an hour he decided to go back home to the palace. He positioned himself in a vertically and, when some feet above the ground, shut off the power to his Lava Blasts and landed on the ground. He felt as if he were floating on air. He was infact. He had fogrgotten to raise the amount of gravity on his body. He did so immediately and went to his room in the second tower.
He wen to his desk and checked his piles of work.
"So much work to do." He mutered.
He then noticed an unussual letter. It had an emblym near the top, TT.
"The Teen Titans." He gasped.
He opened the letter and read it as fast as he could. After which he thought about it, over and over. There was a lot of work to do. Yet he hadn't seen those people in such a long time. What to do, what to do? After some time he made his decision. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a letter to all in the castle. It simply said he had urgent buisness, which he must atend. He didnt say what it was or where. He got dressed in his alias outfit, the one that resembled his sisters. He changed it after he found out the truth. he felt he owed her something.
He was soon off and on his way towards the tower.
Robin - April 6, 2004 10:40 PM (GMT)
(Alright, free posting it is. But at what point do we close the poll and make a final decision?)
"Hey Cyborg," Robin said in aknowledgement to the elder Titan.
He had just been finishing the soda check-list. Someone (most likely Slobo) had attempted to slip in a couple cases of Beer into the drinks area. Since a majority of the people coming to the party were underaged, Robin had to keep an eye on the beverages.
Last thing they needed was a meta-human wasted on boozes. Speedsters on caffeniehighs were bad enough.
Looking around, everything looked set for the Barbeque. Table, barbeque, food and drinks all looked good to go. "Ever get the feeling you've forgotten something?" Robin asked Cyborg off handedly.
He was really hoping that Falcon would be able to come to the barbeque. Oracle and Batman had but Falcon on house-arrest for disobeying Doctor Thompkin's orders and going to Apokolips while still ill from Cheshire's poison.
Robin looked up to see that some of the 'guests' were arriving. "Looks like it's time to get this show on the road, Vic. You wanna man the grill or should I?"
Walker Boh - April 6, 2004 11:10 PM (GMT)
"Ever get the feeling you've forgotten something?"
Cyborg heard his friends comment. He then couldn't help but smile.
"I try not to think of it. Because if I do ever find I am forgetting something, it's usually one of my own components. But I guess for you its understandable. You have all the food, bevargaes, and utensils, right?" He asked his friend.
"Looks like it's time to get this show on the road, Vic. You wanna man the grill or should I?"
"It looks like you've done a lot. why don't I do it, Rob. YOu'll have your hands busy making sure no one does anything over age" He says eyeing the beer.
Raido XYZ - April 7, 2004 04:43 AM (GMT)
Raido X stands outside Titan Tower looking up at its peak. His black boots are covered in mud, and his black sleeveless trench coat is dirty and ragged. His hair is unkept and his face smeared with dirt. Behind his black sunglasses his left eye occasionally twitches softly. He bends his head back down and walks to the front door.
He smells food being cooked somewhere nearby. The aroma of burgers and hot dogs fills his nostrils, till he can not control his salivating. He has not eaten for three days and had nothing to drink but water for four. He can feel exhaustion creaping up on him, but he has come all this way, and will do what he is here to do before much needed rest.
He bangs hard on the front door and stares into space waiting for a response.
Jakazul - April 7, 2004 04:34 PM (GMT)
Kid Flash was, if possible, more hyper than usual.
After drinking so much Mountain Dew (Not to mention all the cokes, dr. peppers and just about anything else he could find in the fridge) who wouldn't be?
He was speeding around the entrance hall (out of boredom) when he heard a knocking.
Visitors already? Had Supersonic even had time?
Oh well, not worth the three seconds of thought it would involve to figure that out. Life was just too short.
He screeched to a hault and bolted to the door in a flash, flinging it open and starring at... A teenage hobo perhaps?
"Um... I think you have the wrong adress."
*That's right, I posted! I plan on keeping up this time, which is one reason I wanted a schedule, but I'll make an effort even without one. Somebody bug me when it's my turn... You'd think the admin'd be the BEST poster.*
Raido XYZ - April 7, 2004 05:18 PM (GMT)
Raido X stares hard through his glasses at the figure before him. He started to think he was more exhausted than he thought cause kid flash was blurry around the edges, like something that couldn't stand still for an instant.
"I think I would know if I was looking for a giant T or not."
"I am looking for the one called Robin, is he here?"
Falcon - April 7, 2004 05:55 PM (GMT)
"Pleeeeeease?"
"NO!" Came the irritated reply of Barbara as the teenaged girl pestered her.
"I'll do some extra filing for you...."
"I don't trust your computer skills."
"You can extend my grounding AFTER the party."
"Nah ah girl, we need you back out there as soon as your better, and a party jammed pack with other teenaged heroes doesnt really sound like that much rest"
"I promise there won't be any supervillians or something.....its a party not a war recruitment."
Barbara gave a snort. "No bad guy fighting.....at a meta party? Ohhhhh man. Now your just plain delusional."
"Ah c'mon Barb, at least she's not sneaking out of the house like I used to do to my mom when I was her age..." Dinah pointed out, taking the pip skweaks side with this.
"It would be impossbile for her to do anyway.......neither her OR Tim can get past my security system....Batman I'm not so sure about.....which reminds me, I need to install the new gassing system..." She said with an evil smirk. One of these days, she was going to make it so Bruce OR Dick or any of the others COULDN'T sneak into her tower unnoticed and give her a freaking heart attack.
"Oh come ON Barb, shes a kid, she deserves to have a LITTLE fun every now and then." Babs best feild agent and best friend said with a roll of the eys.
Barb turned around to see the fully grown adult and the teenaged girl giving her the full fledged puppy dog eyes.
She sighed. "Fine....you can go."
"Yes!" Dinah and Rach highfived, before she ran to get her suit on.
"But you have to check in with me if ANYTHING happened, got it?"
"Got it!" Rachael called from the other room.
True Believer - April 7, 2004 06:33 PM (GMT)
The barbecue might be a great idea after all. This could help him unwind. Forget about all the Lex Luthor deal, about Cassie. Nothing could harder than this but Kon wanted to give it a shot.
Superboy was flying over San Francisco when, suddenly, something past by him flying at superspeed and pulls Kon back to reality.
“What the hell?” The Boy of Steel wonders, just as he notices that the something is flying towards the Tower. And the, as Superboy speeds off, he realizes who it is. He scowls.
“I can’t believe this!” Superboy was feeling the burning all around him as he reaches a such a speed he never done it before. “He’ll destroy everything! Everything!”
Superboy is almost catching up with the unknown. But he’s moving so fast that all we can see is a blur. “I WON’T LET YOU DO IT!” Superboy screams, frantically, without an answer. “NOT NOW! NOT AGAIN!”
Superboy’s blood was pumping like battery acid through his veins. He had never flown this fast before. Never. Superboy tackled the attacker just as they were reaching the Titans Tower. The two of them crashed really close to Robin and Cyborg nearly destroying everything.
“Krypton! Bad dog! Bad dog! Baaaaaaaad!”
Superboy was grabbing the dog’s leash as he was trying to get to the food.
“Hey Rob. Vic. What’s going on guys?”
>>Posting scheduel is in effect now.<<
Fan Boy - April 7, 2004 07:11 PM (GMT)
Cody, now only using civilian clothes entered the tower and he found Kid Flash and a unfamiliar guy chatting. Since the guy didn’t much looked like a threat, although his appearance and scent left much to be desired, Risk merely nodded to ‘em and walked directly to Starfire’s garden.
Cody had much on his mind, he didn’t contact his mother since he came back from Mexico. He haven’t seen Duo since they came back from Apokolips. Cody had a lot bubbling up inside ‘im. He was back in the good guys side, but a lot of the stuff he did back in Mexico still haunted ‘im. He knew he wasn’t the same as before. Not anymore.
“Hey man--” Someone says.
When Cody turns he sees CM3.
“Oh it’s you!” Cody replies a bit bothered. Him and Freddy never got along too well. Cody resented Freddy a tad, cause after he joined the Titans, Cody was no longer the stronger, the faster and such.
“Are you okay, Cody?”
“Yeah. Of course I am.”
The two of ‘em set foot out of the tower towards Superboy, Cyborg, Robin and a DOG.
“You look... I don’t no... Robin-like. It doesn’t suit you.” Says Freddy with a half-smile.
“Shuddup! Just leave me alone okay?”
Cody walks away from CM3.
"Cool dog!" CM3 says to Superboy. Superboy just scowls.
"Man, what's with everybody today?!"
Jakazul - April 7, 2004 07:34 PM (GMT)
"You sure you weren't looking for a giant J or something? I meant that can look like a T it just has a curly-doo-dad on the bottom, but I guess..."
He turned and darted through the tower. "Rooooobin!!"
(I did see the schedule, but it was put in effect after Raido XYZ posted, so I'm just making up for the post I missed)
Robin - April 7, 2004 08:47 PM (GMT)
(Okay, first this is NOT my post. This is merely a minor OOC message for all you fine folks. We're starting the posting list now officially, so that means MARX needs to be the next to post followed by Lani and so on.
Any question? no? Cool. :P )
atlantis - April 7, 2004 08:55 PM (GMT)
(ok, i still think this is a bad idea...i've been online for an hour plus...ample posting time even for me, but due to this.....wonderful...idea i cant post....and because i live in England i migt even go to bed before Marxy gets here. <_< Plus Kye is after me so ......yeah, you guys are gonna end up waiting around....)
(Please forgive my bad mood....DarkLani tends to take control now and then. :( )
Robin - April 7, 2004 08:59 PM (GMT)
(I know Lani. I've never been too sure about this whole posting list thing either. Sure it might be made to keep players from getting left behind, but it seriously slows down the stories. Not to mention I've been itching to reply to Cyborg, Superboy, Kid Flash and Radio XYZ for sometime now. >Need my posting fix... :wacko: < But it was agreed we'd at least try this out for a little while... sigh...)
Walker Boh - April 7, 2004 09:02 PM (GMT)
>>Yup thats why its the trial version not the real thing.<<
Shinigami - April 7, 2004 09:29 PM (GMT)
<<Well...I guess we'll have to see how it all pans out...but Duo and Cody wanted to have a little chat whilst at the BBQ...so that will prob be written as a mini side fic...if that's ok? Then the scheduel thingie won't get messed up. :D>>
Robin - April 7, 2004 09:35 PM (GMT)
>>I guess you can do that, but I worry that if we go splitting into side-stories that are related to the main story things are going to get more screwed up than they already are.
I don't know... Just go with your gut guys. I trust you.
Sigh... Maybe this posting scheduel wasn't as great of an idea as it was in theory. lol. :rolleyes: <<
True Believer - April 7, 2004 09:44 PM (GMT)
>>What if we do a variation of the thing. We could still maintain the order, but with the players that are currently online. <<
Marx - April 7, 2004 09:48 PM (GMT)
Harm stepped outside the room, slightly embarrased. He actually checked himself in the mirror, because he was pretty sure Cassie would be coming over. As he walked down he saw Raido. "Ah, the first new face of the day." He said coldly as he sat down on one of the chairs.
Supersonic came at blurring speed circling Kid Flash. "I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Who missed me? All the invitations were delivered. We just gotta wait" Supersonic grabs a burger off the grill and plops it in his mouth, making a discusted face as he glares at Cyborg. "Why didn't you tell me these weren't done yet? Ugh! Nevermind." Supersonic then stretches his hands and grabs a 2-liter of Sprite and guzzles it. "Ah, much better."
atlantis - April 7, 2004 10:10 PM (GMT)
The girls touched down on the lawn.
They had left Cissie at her moms and flown to the tower, they were seriously up for this party.
"Oh, i didn't know we were coming in costume" Cassie smiled at Shinigami...who had been made to change at least 7 times by Cissie. "Could have made things easier huh??"
"Yeah...but then you wouldn't have got to wear your new things" Duo indecated the jeans, shoes, jacket and top. "We all know your wonderful, SOMEONE has an ego." She comented on the sloagan.
"Hey Cassie, theres Will. Come over and say hi with me??" Greta mumbled before Cass could retorted to her angelic friend.
"WILL??!!" Wondy spun round. "Um..sure..."
Robin - April 8, 2004 09:41 PM (GMT)
>>It's been two days since Shinobi has last been online. I'm going ahead with a post.<<
"It looks like you've done a lot. Why don't I do it, Rob? You'll have your hands busy making sure no one does anything over age" Cyborg said eyeing the beer.
Robin gave Cyborg a small smile in appreciation. "Thanks Vic, I-"
At that moment the two could hear a low whistling sound, they looked up to see a white and red blur being chases by a black and blue blur. The closer they came, the more visible they became. Robin grabbed Cyborg's arm and the two of them set back a few paces.
Superboy tackled his kryptonian dog, Krypto and the two of the came crashing down at the exact same spot that Cyborg and Robin had just been stand on. Krpto wiggled out of Superboy's grasp and began making his way towards the barbeque. Superboy reached out and grabbed the dog’s leash and red super cape, trying to hold the dog off.
“Krypto! Bad dog! Bad dog! Baaaaaaaad!”
Krypto apparently didn't take heed of his master's disapproval and continued to fight his way towards the food, his mouth drooling with anticipation.
“Hey Rob. Vic. what’s going on guys?”
Robin gave small smile as Kon fought with his white furred pet.
"Not much, just getting everything ready for the Barbeque is all. Looks like you've got a bit of a problem though...”
"Krypto." Robin said a low clear voice. It wasn't quite the 'VOICE' but it did grab the attention of the dog. "Sit."
Surprisingly Krypto stopped pulling at the leash Conner was holding and sat down, his ears pulled back in an adorable look of understanding and submission. Robin gave a warily smile at the dog's big brown eyes. "Good boy."
Robin grabbed a hotdog from the grill and held it out to the pooch. Krypto devoured the offering with vigor. Once it was gone, Krypto leapt up and licked Robin's cheek affectionately, causing the Boy Wonder to chuckle as he patted the dog's white furred head.
During his time at Brentwood Academy, the Dean's own pet dog had caused a few problems for Tim and Robin. So in order to rectify the problem, Tim had taken to learn how to teach and control dogs. Not to mention tasty treats were always a way to win points with dogs.
"I don't see what you're always complaining about Kon," Robin smirked, trying to get a rise out of his friend. "Krypto's just a big softy. Certainly not the demon dog you always make him out to be."
"Rooooobin!!"
The three heroes and one dog all turned to the source of the voice. Robin gave a sigh. "Bart probably gotten into the freezer again and has given himself another ice cream headache." Scratching Krypto behind the ear, as he stood up. "I'll go see what he wants.
Robin when to the front door of the Tower, and noticed Bart standing with weather beaten and dirty looking young man, no older than 20 years old. Obviously homeless.
Raising an eyebrow as he approached, Robin couldn't help but wonder how the mystery stranger had gotten onto Titan's Island in the first place. The raft used to get from the main land to the Island was voice activated only. Certainly this guy didn't swim all the way over.
"Can I help you?" Robin asked, eyeing the dirty man intently.
Shinigami - April 8, 2004 09:51 PM (GMT)
<<Good call Alan...this is the same post as in the BBQ spin-off...if the damn thing don't work then...who cares!!! Note I posted straight away!!! If the whole spin-off thing falls through...just ignore it! :D >>
Duo Merquise landed gracefully in the garden of the Titan Tower, the feathers of her wings fluttered in the faint breeze as, with a single thought, they retreated into the folds of her back, concealed until they were needed once more.
She took in the scene quickly, clusters of Teen superheroes in their hordes overran the garden, stuffing their faces with the numerous meaty treats, the aroma of cooking burgers was strong, and faintly nauseating...
Duo's eyes were instantly scanning the crowds...it had been a while since the ordeal on Apokolips...everyone had pretty much gone their own way, body and hearts had needed a little healing time, herself included. Her knee was fully operational again...but inside...
...She was more confused then ever, trying to maintain the facade at Elias High was proving more and more toilsome, especially as she was trying to deal with her own identity crisis...
...Shinigami had been who she was for years, in the service of satan, reeking havoc under the vauge justification of "helping the innocent". But as she spent more time with the Titans...that was changing, they were actually helping people and, she was feeling a little more like Duo Merquise every day...
Meeting Cody Driscoll had helped somewhat and had also added to the confusion in an extreme way...she wanted to be around him, of that she was certain...but she wasn't sure how to be, what to expect or what was expected from her...she was even more concerened since she had neither seen nor heard from him since Apokolips.
She spotted him admist the crowd...<okay, okay...just go over there...say hello...> she began to run possible sequences through her head, analysising possible outcomes to a non-existing conversation that she wasn't sure she was brave enough to start...
<Honestly! What is the matter with me!!!???> she cursed herself whilst absent-midedly twirling the end of her braid between her fingers. <He's just a guy, this would be just like talking to any other unimportant, everyday, normal teenage boy...except I like this one...>
She would have physically slapped herself if she wasn't standing in the middle of a crowded garden, some were already concerned with her mental state...no need to increase their concerns...
She drew a deep breath, deciding that whatever the outcome of her "hello" was, it couldn't be worse then anything else she had suffered...
She walked over to him, her grip on her braid slowly increased as the blood pounded in her ears due to her accelerated heart rate. She stopped just infront of him...
"Hi Cody..."
<<There you go...NEXT PLEASE!!!>>
Walker Boh - April 9, 2004 08:00 PM (GMT)
>>Sorry it took so long guys. My comp was having a bad week. Can you count it? 10. 10 Viruses. Oh well they are all gone. <<
"Why didn't you tell me these weren't done yet? Ugh! Nevermind."
Cyborg couldn’t help but laugh. He hadn't even fired the grill yet. Apparently this Supersonic was impatient.
"Thanks Vic, I-"
Robin seemed to appreciate Cyborg's thoughtfulness, yet a seemingly "dog" accompanied by a bulked up human intervened in the finishing of Robin's comment. The human in question was Super Boy, who after some discreet questioning was Conner or Kon to most. The dog was completely new to Cyborg. Cyborg's scanners were immediately working. They took a shot of the current scenario and then they brought it into his eyes blocking away all sight. He zoomed in on the dog and saw its collar. Some of it was hidden under fur, of what Cyborg saw it read K__pt_. Not much to go on. Cyborg sent the picture back into his memory cells and watched the phenomena before him.
Kon wrestled his dog for quite some time before calling out to it.
“Krypto! Bad dog! Bad dog! Baaaaaaaad!”
Then after seeing Robin and himself he greeted them, asking what was new, as if there wasn't a ferocious dog below him.
"Like Robin said, were trying to get this barbeque ready. I'm going to start the grill soon..." He pauses remembering Supersonic's dilemma. After which Robin calmed the dog.
"Nice job, Robin"
Not long afterwards someone from the Tower doors called out to Robin and he left immediately.
"Well, Kon, where will you be setting your dog? Will you be sending it home or will it stay? Will you be able to get him away from the food?"
Cyborg, before an answer was given, walked over to the grill and slapped a few steaks on the grill.
Geo-Force landed on the front lawn of the Titans Tower some half an hour after he got the party invitation. All through his flight he was overjoyed. It’s been such a long time since he has seen any of the others. He kept wondering if the seniors where even there. Were they replaced? Would any of the old Outsiders be there, or perhaps the new ones? He highly doubted Batman ever showing up, but it was a possibility. And what of the Titans, they were most likely all new. It brought him back to his long since gone sister, Tara/Terra. Would she ever return? Would he ever tell her the truth?
His landing was simple, nothing bad happened. He scorched the earth below him slightly, but other than that he landed smoothly. He made it his mission to raise the gravity upon him once down.
He saw many new faces. As a matter of fact he saw only new faces. He saw a speedy youth, an evil looking girl in red, whom he saw take in wings. There was even a Robin there. The outfit was exactly like the others. It had to be Robin. But was it the old Robin or the new one. The Titans had obviously gone through changes. But these titans seemed to have recently gone through a lot. Oh well for all he knew they might have just had a typical teenage bad week.
“Should I have perhaps come to the front door. Either way, it looks like a nice party so far.” He called out for all to hear.
>>Hope that’s sound like the simplistic non strategic Geo-Force you all know and love.<<

Falcon walked down the hallways of Titans tower, just arriving from one of the few borrowed JLA telporters.
She looked over the top of the stairs and saw Kid Flash, Robin, and an obvious ly homeless guy at the front door. "Hey guys." She started, eyeing the homelss man as she made her way down the stairs to the gathered group. "...Whats going on?" She asked curiously. How did this guy even manage to get to the front door of the tower unnoticed?
Raido XYZ - April 11, 2004 07:53 PM (GMT)
Raido stood in the main hall of Titan Tower. A blur followed the speedster, as he took off in search of Robin. He was alone again, and enjoyed the silence after the noise made by the fast one. It was a fleeting silence.
He continued to stare as another figure entered. He said something at Raido X, but that didn't matter. He watched out of the corner of his eye as the man sat down without another word. Raido's eyes fixed straight ahead beneath his glasses and he concentrated his mind. This man was nothing to him, as a fly is to a lion.
More movement from the other side of the room. Two girls were walking toward the man in the chair. Raido X could not help but move his head and stare. It had been a long time since he had seen girls of such beauty. He suddenly became aware of his appearance, the dirt and mud that covered him from head to foot, the bullet holes and slashes in his coat and uniform, and the scar and bruises on his visible parts. A feeling of embarressment and shame welled up from the pit of his stomach.
As quickly as the feeling came Raido X suppressed it. He moved his head forward again and stared straight ahead. He could not afford emotions while feeling so weak.
The speedster returned and Raido X could see that his cries did not go unheeded. The pictures he had seen matched who he saw perfectly, this was Robin walking toward them now.
"Can I help you?" Robin asked as Raido X turned to meet him.
"I believe you can," Raido X said with a blank expression. Behind his sunglasses his left eye twitched more prominently, he did not have much time left before he would need rest. As he spoke another girl walked toward them. She said something to the crowd of them that Raido X ignored. He would not lose control again because of a pretty face.
"I wandered Gotham City's streets for 3 weeks seeking my prey, but he is harder to pin down than I thought. I need you to tell me where to find the Batman."
Raido X's look was like stone and his voice was cold.
Sano - April 12, 2004 12:49 AM (GMT)
>>I wasn't on the schedule but True Believer told me I could sneak in at the last minute so I'm posting to get my character involved real quick.<<
Deciding he wanted some fresh air, Sano walked to the outskirts of the city and down to the shore. As the walked along the beach Sano noticed an odd tower in the distance in the shape of a T. Looking closer Sano noticed that there was smoke coming from the island and thought he would head over.
"Hmmm, this could be promising. Its not everyday you see a giant T out on an island."
Starting out towards the island, Sano began to levitate himself using his telekenesis making it look as he were walking on the water. As he neared the island Sano could make out what looked like a barbeque and a haggard looking man walking into the tower. Stopping for a minute he pulled his hood off his head and looked up revealing his dark black goatee and egyptian tatoo on the back of his blad head.
"Well, its worth a shot. Guess I'll find out who's in charge."
Slidding his sunglasses back up onto his face Sano started off towards the island again. Reaching the tower finally Sano walked up and knocked on what he thought was the front door.

(Notta Problem, just remember to check up on "The Body Switching Storyline" section in the Chat forum, it has all the switches.)
While Harm was relaxing, he was also keeping an eye on the new person. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something besides his appearance was different about him. 'There's gonna be a couple more people you don't know coming here, you might as well get used to it' He thought to himself. Harm took a sip of the soda he had by him, before he noticed Cassie and Greta coming towards him. "Hey Cass, Gretel." He said with a smirk. He hadn't seen Greta since the whole Apokalips trip. His eyes then fell on Cassie's shirt. "Nice shirt." It was one of the shirts he picked out for her on their mall trip.
Supersonic dashed towards Raido and gives him a soda. "Drink up man!" He'd actually been going around giving everyone drinks. Everyone wasn't here yet and he was getting a little bored, might as well help out. As he was running around it looked like he saw someone walking on the water and someone landing, leaving a red trail behind him. Also a boat was headed towards them. "Ah, company's finally coming."
On the small boat, coming towards them a woman looked out at the Titans Tower. "We're almost there. Perfect." She looked back at the various older teens lounging around the ship. "Make sure everything's ready."

<<well since I haven't posted yet, I'm going to go ahead and get it out of the way. I'm starting out in Gotham because I can see no reason at this point that Cass would be outside of Gotham. If someone can figure a way to get her out, I'd enjoy the help.>>
Batgirl perched perfectly next to a gargoyle on the top of one of the many gothic buildings in New Gotham. The rain belted her as she waited patiently, watching over Gotham. Cass didn't even seem to notice the soft pings of water or the fact that she was getting soaked. She was on the prowl, crime didn't stop just because of rain.
With Robin away, someone had to pick up the slack, even with Azreal back in town, especially with Azreal back in town. The others were keeping track of him, Batgirl didn't know how or even exactly why, but it wasn't important. All that was important was the possible danger and the chance to save someone.
A scream erupted into the night, before it could even finish, Batgirl had fired a line and swung using a perfectly graceful movement. There was nothing wasted, it was all used for the prupose of getting where she needed to go. When Cass landed on the rooftop, she took off running, leaping from building to building with ease. She skidded to a stop and looked down at the woman and her assailant. Without another thought, Cass erupted into movement, letting her actions take over. She leaped down and knocked the assailant out. She took the purse, handed it back to the woman and took off again.

(I implied that Superboy was going to invite BG there. Just an idea.)
Robin - April 12, 2004 03:13 AM (GMT)
Sunday April 11, 2004(Shouldn't we make certain who is actually going to be in this story, before switching everyone Marx? Just so we don't switch anyone who isn't here.
Also, all members read MUST Posting Rules: Trial Run. This will be how we are to post for the time being. Make certain to read and understand the rules completely before posting. Thank you.)The opaque lenses of Robin's green domino mask narrowed at the mystery man. Although no one could see it what with his cape completely covering his body, Robin's hand had slipped to his back holster and gotten a hold of his bo-staff. His thumb hoovered above the staff's expansion release button.
He glanced at Falcon, Harm and Kid Flash, without words telling them to stand ready, just in case.
Batman? Prey?
That was a laugh.
This guy definently wasn't very good with his word choice. And why exactly would he be hunting the Batman?
Robin had seen and faced the world's deadliest asassins ranging from Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke the Terminator to Lady Shiva, the World's Greatest and most Deadliest Martial Artist. And this guy did not look on the level of Slade and Shiva. This guy didn't really fit the deadly asassin description.
"Drink up man!" Supersonic said, racing up and thrusting a soda into the stranger's hands. Robin shot the speedster a death glare, telling him A. This is NOT the time and B. Go away.
Turning his attention back to the stranger, Robin weighed this guy up. If he was out to get Batman, he certainly wouldn't be suicidal enough to try anything with the entire Teen Titans team here as well as a small portion of the Super-hero community.
"First: WHO are you," Robin demanded, his voice low and harsh, while his face fell into a dark and intimdating scowl. For a brief moment, it almost looked as if his shadow had altered into that of a Bat. "Second: for what possible reason should I tell you where Batman is? What buisness do you have with him?"

(I'm not, the actual switching's probably going to happen Wednesday, which means all switches are final Tuesday.)

(Cool. Just making sure.)
