				<hr><strong>Character: Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent)<br>Location: Justice League Watchtower<br>Time: Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)<br>Tag: Supergirl</strong><br><hr><br>Superman approached a steel door he knocked, waited a moment then pressed the button to enter. He wasn't about to let another fight with his cousin sour their relationship. <br><br>He entered the room and looked right at Kara; he had a smile but it showed that he'd been frustrated by her inability or lack of desire to restrain herself at times. <br><br>"Kara, I don't like this anymore than you do… but we've got to hold ourself to a higher standard." He paused for a moment, looking at her.<br><br>He didn't want to give another lecture like the one he was about to … it wasn't fair that he had years of experience on earth, and it wasn't fair that his older cousin was little barely legal to drink. <br><br>"Okay … no more lectures. The truth is Kara, It's been a long time since I've been where you are.&nbsp; Cyborg mentioned that He'd organized a new group of Titans in San Francisco. I really think you should consider joining them. I know you've got a good heart, and I think being among peers may give you the confidence you need to really come into your own."

				<strong>Character:Supergirl (Kara/Linda)</strong><br><strong>Location:Justice League Watchtower</strong><br><strong>Time:Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)</strong><br><strong>Tag:Superman</strong><br><hr><br>(http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/divalea/665606/55774/55774_original.jpg)<br><br>(Not sure how to do this but this is her current outfit ((not the person)) that she will arrive in when she meets the Titans for the first time)<br><br>Kara was busy packing away her clothes as she rummaged around her room looking for anything she might like to take with her to San Francisco. She was silently fuming and as she grabbed a pair of jeans she felt them get caught in her between her drawer and tear. She looked down sadly as she muttered "I loved those jeans.......they made my butt look good......." <br><br>Maybe Kal-El has a point......<br><br>Kara thought it but was never going to admit that to her superpowered "younger" cousin. She didn't even voice it since he might hear her by chance. She tossed her jeans to the side and packed more clothes as she intended to buy other things for her room down with the new Titans. She couldn't help but feel as if somehow this were a demotion but she shook it off trying to think about the positive aspects. At least now she might be able to have fun once in awhile...to enjoy herself...be around people who wanted to have a good time occasionally...not like the stiffs up here. She smiled as she remembered that Richard Grayson would be there to help ease her into the team. It was good that he was finally out of his self imposed exile. She was gladder still when she heard he was the team leader. As she slung her large black duffel bag over her shoulder she heard a knock on her door.&nbsp; As she turned around she saw her visitor was exactly who she did not want to see at the moment but she caved a little as she realized she wouldn't be seeing him for a while. In their line of business this might be the last time they see each other. She looked at him and could tell he was trying to keep the peace and she knew that if they weren't careful their argument could do more than hurt each others feelings. <br><br>She nodded as she listened to him and she knew that she should do better and that she should be more careful. But she was a free spirit and she did not like having the feeling of being caged or chained up. She did not like having to limit herself at all times. She gave a small smile as he said he wouldn't lecture her again. She always did like the irony of her younger cousin being much more mature and responsible than she was.<br><br>"I get that Kal and I won't say that I like it but...if that's what the League and you want...fine I'll do it and I'll do my best to be apart of the team. I'll try to fix the flaws of my character but I need to find some middle ground...I don't like limiters....but I understand that I should be more careful...that I could hurt someone if I'm not. Thank you for everything you've done for me and maybe sometime I can come back and show what I'm really made of." <br><br>She gave her Man of Steel cousin a tight hug kissing his cheek as she walked past him. Turning around giving him a grin she added "Besides I'm too cool for the League..."<br><br>Making sure her bag was specially wrapped in a protective covering she decided to leisurely fly to the location given to her just a few hours ago to the Titan tower. No doubt tonight or the morning Superman would be telling Nightwing or the entire team that she was on her way. Since she was in no rush she silently thought about the things to come as she lost herself in her thoughts.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;

				<hr><strong>Character: Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent)<br>Location: Justice League Watchtower<br>Time: Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)<br>Tag: Nightwing (?)</strong><br><hr><br>Superman laughed as she commented about being too cool for he Justice League. While not accurate it was in an odd way true. Kara was young, vibrant, full of life. If she was an earthling she'd be in college doing the typical irresponsible things that college girls do. <br><br>However, she wasn't … Kal knew he was hard on her, knew that he'd made at least a small piece of her life miserable. The idea of sending her to the Titans wasn't a punishment at all … despite what she may have thought. <br><br>He looked at the Titans as most parents look at college. It was her chance for freedom, to become her own person, to grow up in a manner of speaking. <br><br>She'd make mistakes, but the other Titans would help her clean them up … because they were a team. But perhaps most importantly there would be no 'Superman' looking over her shoulder constantly judging her. <br><br>That is what she needed right now, and she'd earned it. The reality was Kal thought that the sending her to the Titans was a gift. Hopefully she'd see it sooner than later. <br><br>Knowing Dick didn't like surprises … much like his mentor … Kal decided that he'd give him a call…

				Character: Nightiwing [Dick Grayson]<br>Location: Top of the Golden Gate Bridge<br>Time: Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)<br>Tag: Superman, Supergirl[?]<br><hr>After the outburst and calming down in the tower, Richard had to get out. Remaining in costume he made his way to the Golden Gate Bridge, perching on top, taking in a deep breath of the open sea air as he had a perfect overview of the tower and much of the midnight traffic. He let his mind wander off for the moment, there was a lot to consider.<br><br>There was his ex, Zatanna, where there was almost visible tensions and sparks between them. There may have been something still there, but was there really? Maybe he would drop by her room later or tomorrow. Then there was Kaldur, a good friend, and the only other guy on&nbsp; the team at this point. He was really depending on him to get the situation on Alcatraz down pat. Nightwing wanted to make sure Gizmo's hopes and determination form earlier were quickly deflated. Raven..a true original Titan, and she had come a long way herself. she had been with him through most of the foolishness of his young life. Both the good times and the bad times, even going into her soul three different times. Then there was Dove. He had never worked with her before, but from what he saw today. she could be a fantastic teammate, and he would track her progress with great interest.<br><br>Then his communicator went off, and it wasn't his Titans comm either. He kept his League communicator with him, namely because one never knows, he promptly responded to the signals hailing, "This is Nightwing.."

				<hr><strong>Character: Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent)<br>Location: Justice League Watchtower<br>Time: Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)<br>Tag: Nightwing</strong><br><hr><br>"Nightwing, it's Kal.", he paused for a second … considering he wasn't sure how much Dick would like him 'meddling' in his team. <br><br>"As I'm sure you Kara and I've been bumping heads more and more of late … Cyborg mentioned the idea of&nbsp; her joining the Titans to me. To make a long story short, She's heading your way under the illusion that this is some kind of demotion or punishment. I figured you deserved a heads up." Kal cleared his though. <br><br>"I'm sorry, I know I should have cleared this with you before hand … but … well … she can be so stubborn some times."

				Character: Nightiwing [Dick Grayson]<br>Location: Top of the Golden Gate Bridge<br>Time: Saturday Evening (Pacific Time)<br>Tag: Superman, Supergirl[?]<br><hr>"Right.."<br>He mentally exhaled, another factor to deal with, whats worse, she thought this was a demotion. That was wrong, this team was just as able as the Justice League, and could accomplish so much, even more with the addition of Supergirl, who to his knowledge was significantly stronger than Superman, due to her body processing sunlight more efficiently.<br>"I'll take care of it.."<br>He almost anticipated her to come zooming by any minute. He had hung out with Kara a few times that he went to confide in Superman. They had good chemestry, and he couldn't deny, she was smokin' hot, he just couldn't admit that in front of the Man of Steel.

It was a large open room with a single large table in the middle, built into the table was a large touch screen computer display. <br><br>On the screen was a list of 30 names along side of a location; the kidnapping victims and their last known location. Half of the names were marked with an asterisk; indicating they had information that they were heading to the Northern California. <br><br>With a few touches, he brought up the Titan’s internal communications, selecting Nightwing’s communicator he opened a second screen and type ‘Dick, it’s Vic … can you meet me in Utility Room #1. Don’t tell the others.’<br><br>His first meeting had been brief with these new titans; but he had a connection to almost every one of them... some more than others; he knew if they were aware he was here … they’d want to catch up. After all that’s what friends do; but now wasn’t the time … later in the meeting he’d planned they could do that.

				Name: Nightwing<br>Location: Titan's Tower / Sixth Floor / Utility Room #1<br>Tags: Cyborg<br><hr>Constantly moving, Constantly doing, this was Richard Grayson's life. The titans weren't giving him much relief for his head, though it wasn't their fault, he couldn't blame them. if he could blame anyone, it would've been Slade. "I'll be right there" He said, vanishing from wherever he may have been, and without notice. soon after he was with Cybrog, "Why the secret meeting? whats going on? oh and by the way, thanks for the notification about the Tiger." He still wasn't amused by that sudden uninformed entry.

I see he still enjoys playing by his own rules a little too much. Either way, the team’s your’s to lead now, if you think he’ll be another Terra … I wouldn’t blame you.”<br><br>“As far as the meeting... I’ve still wrap up a few things; and while I love you guys … if everyone knows I’m down here … people will be in and out of here.”<br><br>Cyborg pressed a few buttons and brought up a map of a the world. <br><br>“But down to business; I’ve recently uncovered some credible evidence that suggests Deathstroke may not be behind the kidnappings like we first thought.”<br><br>A few images pulled up of a young man, dead by the side of a body of water, presumably the San Francisco Bay. <br><br>“David Lance … a very, very, very distant cousin to Dinah Lance. His body showed signs of experiments … similar to the type of stuff we saw with Grant Wilson … Ravager all those years ago.”<br><br>Victor paused for a moment, then continued. “Couple that with a couple near-impossible kills in China while all this has been going on …”<br><br>“... I think it’s safe to say that H.I.V.E. might be trying to get their hands on some kids, turning them into super-powered weapons, and selling them out to the highest bidder.”

				Name: Nightwing<br>Location: Titan's Tower / Sixth Floor / Utility Room #1<br>Tags: Cyborg<br><hr>Possible Vic, but something here doesn't add up, are we sure its Hive? why would Deathstroke risk his own Daughter?" He moves to the touch screen and pulls up profiles of his own, "Even Dent, and Black Mask, would be potential buyers, Lex Luthor even, yet Dent's daughter was also taken. Removing Dent form the picture though, looking purely at Rose Wilson..While Slade may be a monster, I don't think he would let the Hive take his own daughter for such an experiment. He would likely train her himself and make her a hired gun like he is. We need to look into <em>every</em> possibility. Who would want to take a swing at Slade Wilson, Harvey Dent, and others while trying to turn a profit?"<br><br>He looks to the picture, "Has that water been scouted out at all?"

He took a long hard think. "We're missing a piece of the puzzle, but maybe Rose can fill it, if not, well, at least we can get her out of harms way. Do we have Intel as to where she will be? maybe better yet.." He pulls out the retrieved data chip, "This is how we know Rose is next, can you fun&nbsp; a full diagnostic? any trace? digital origin? This may be our big lead right here, and you big guy have the tools to see if its possible. While Luthor has the money to back something like this..I think its too big of an operation for him to risk getting himself connected to maybe"<br><br>If Luthor was involved all he would have to do is say the name to Superman and the League would suddenly be all over it. "Luthor keeps suggesting in his public statements as of late that he could be president, and these problems would vanish. I doubt Luthor would try cause padding for his campaign this early..I don't know, but we need to get some leads, fast. Can you get anything on here?" He motions to the datapad.

"Its hard to find, lavender honey, but if I do trust me its wroth trying with any type of tea." She took a slow sip and closed her eyes in utter delight. "Oh thats nice..." Zatanna noticed Raven's face and raised an eyebrow and&nbsp; moved to sit next to her at the bar. "So... cant sleep?" She crossed her legs at the ankle, clutching her mug between her hands and peered down at the tan-ish brew in her mug. "I know were not the best of friend's Rave, but were part or a team, a family, and I want you to know that if you ever need to talk Im here to listen." She turned to Raven with a bright and friendly smile.

"There's something I need to tell you... it's kind of a long story ... but it's what lead up to me running out of Dick's room crying."<br><br>"I cheated on Dove with Kara ... as a result Dove's now packing up to head home and rejoin Hawk. Kara and I are in some kind of open relationship&nbsp; ... we both want to be together, but I don't want to repeat what I did to Dawn.

I went to go talk to him; I could feel his stress though the walls... and figured he's been my best friend for the longest time ... and what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't check up on him ... knowing what he was feeling."<br><br>"Anyway, not even a minute into the conversation he tells me he loves me and he wants to run away with me. Then without warning leans into kiss me.&nbsp; I stopped him, I had just hours earlier cheated on one girlfriend ... and while I had an open relationship ... the thought of letting him play out his fantasy to it's fullest didn't sit well with me. I knew he and Kara were ... getting friendly ... just before the meeting, I don't think anything happened ... but I felt some pretty intense emotions when I stretched my powers out across the building. I assumed, he was looking for sex ... I was willing to give him that ... let him use me for his own release ... so he could go to Gotham with a clear head. It sounds pretty bad, and I worry that if I'd deny him ... he'd end up getting himself killed."<br><br>"Turns out it didn't much matter. He wasn't interested in sex, what he wanted was someone to love him ... and well ... I told him I couldn't. Even if I could, I wouldn't have told him ... he was my best friend, he might be happy with me for a while ... but in the end I can not give him what he needs, love him the way he wants to be loved ... ... needs to be loved."<br><br>"It was then the man whom I thought was my best friend ... the man who claims to know me better than anyone else ... the man who claims to love me ... more or less called me a whore."<br><br>She looked up at Zatanna, with a pain in her eyes... wondering if she lost yet another friend today.

She joked about the Twilight vampires as she took another sip of coffee. <br><br>Zatanna watched Raven and nodded as she spoke about how they met and now were a bit better acquainted with one another. She could feel this was a serious topic Rave was bringing up so she set her kidding aside and gave her friend her full attention.<br><br>As soon as she mentioned her running from Dick's room she gave a smile and was about to stop her to tell her Dick had already explained. But Rave had beat her to it and was already in a pattern of telling her. Her mouth dropped a bit when she herd that Raven had cheated on Dove and she was now leaving. And that she had cheated with Kara. She put a hand on shoulder to give some comfort to her to show she cared about her as she continued. "Im sorry to hear that.."<br><br>Her heart stopped as she mentioned Dick and her throat grew tight as Raven explained that he wasnt himself and was having problems with stress, and wondered why she never noticed. She cursed herself for throwing her own pity party while he was hurting and Raven had to be the one to confront him and give him an ear. "I understand you two are close, he would feel more comfortable talking with you then me, with how I acted today at the meeting. Thank you for being a friend to him, Raven" <br><br>The next sentences sent a freezing chill down Zatanna's spine and through her blood. Her hand pulled from Raven's shoulder as if she had burnt her. Wide eyed and pale she listened and slowly shook her head. She was lying, she had to be... But Raven wasnt that type of person. She was the team leader she was looking out for her friends. She felt awkward and unsure for a moment as if she was in a dream. Her body felt weak and not her own. Everything was a void around her and she could feel the emotions in the pit of her stomach rising with every second. This was not a dream and she was really hearing all of what Dick failed to mention to her. She gripped the counter and listened till Raven was finished and a few second nodded her head slowly, in an almost eery way. She tried to reason out the whole thing but her emotions kept clouding her thoughts.<br><br><em><br>How could he? He was'nt sincerer when he came to you tonight. He wanted sex, love, affection. And she was the last one on the damn list. Again. Was this what she was? A last resort? She should have known, what did she have that would tempt him? Nothing! She was a low grade magician who did shows in Vegas, even the league saw no use in her. She was a nobody, no matter how many shows she did, or how many seats she sold out, nothing she did would make her shine for Dick to see her. Nothing, not even year long letters that told him how much she loved him and wished to see him. </em><br><br>Zatanna cupped her face in her hands and took slow even breaths, but the feelings kept rising, it burned her lungs and broken heart and took place of the sorrow and misery that had been there a few days before. She could feel it in her throat as the tears trickled down her cheeks and she clenched her teeth. Anger.<br><br>Zatanna swatted at the mug in front of her as it flew crashing in the the wall, coffee and pottery splashing everywhere. Her whole body was vibrating and shaking. Her fists were&nbsp; so tight they were white. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue that almost ate up her pupils, and her body was so bond with nerves a breeze could break her. She had to move had to release they energy the hurt the feelings, had to get it out. But she was stuck in that one spot, Raven's words revolving around her head like a unstoppable tornado.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Then the thought of Raven next her sent her into a panic, thought came through, she was next to her, and could feel her pain. "Ecaep..." She worked passed numb lips and the magic worked its trick, soothing her and relaxing her tense body leaving the scars of Raven's words behind. She let the first loud sob take her and the feeling started to subside back down and the magic vanish. She leaned over the counter in her arms as her body shook. Sniffles and cries soon died down a long while later and she slowly sat up and wiped her face. "Sorry, Rave... I'...I"m mess myself... I keep trusting him. Putting my heart out on a line and he makes this choices, that lead me to think Im not important." She wiped her eyes unsure how much a girl could cry, but knew she had cried over Dick then anything in her entire life. "It's not completely his fault..." She played with the ring her father had given her, the one he gave her mother. The beautiful silver knotted band shined in the light and the oval mother of pearl center remind her how much her father loved his wife. "Ive been there, following his shadow... Ive never looked at anyone else that way I do Dick. Ive try dating other guys, but i find myself comparing them to him..." She shook her head and smiled at Raven. "Thank you for telling me. That couldnt have been easy," she tucked a stubborn curl behind her hair, "Especial when i started to blow up." She turned in her chair and took both of Raven's hands in her own and gave the best smile she could with the truck load of sorrow she was carrying. "Im glad to have you as a friend, Raven. Im so very blessed to have met you and be apart of this team. Your all so good to me I dont deserve it, but Ill cherish it&nbsp; non the less. DOnt listen to Dick, you are not whore, far far from it. You knew what he wanted and were looking out for bother of you, and I respect that. Im hurt you were willing to... but I cant be angry since we really werent together anyways. But Im sorry for you and Dove and hopefully Kara will make you happy, and sooth what Dove left behind. " She patted her hand and wiped another stray tear from her cheek.<br><br>She felt so alone and abandoned now even with Raven there next to her. Time seemed to slow down seconds dragged on inside her head as she evaluated her situation. She didnt know what she was going to do now that they were going to be going to Gothem today and she would have to answer to Dick now. But she would deal she had done it before, it would nt be so hard now that she was armed with the truth. She took a slow breath and remembered Kal would be joining them also. She had yet to have a minute to process what happened in his room or even if he really felt anything for her. Was he just being another 'Dick' and lusting after someone when he couldnt have who he really wanted. She looked at Raven and wondered if it would be inappropriate to ask, but through the thought and decided to ask anyways. "Raven? Did something happen between you and Kal the other day?" She blushed, which was clearly visible from her pale complexion. "I only ask because, early today he kissed me and Im just not sure how to read that... he clearly likes you, I just feel like Im second best. But I thought I meant something to him, like a little sister. Why would he do that?" She titled her head down, as if the floor had the answer instead of the person in front of her.

				<strong>Character: </strong> Raven<br><strong>Location:</strong> Commons Area/ Kitchen<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Zatanna<br><strong>Time: </strong> Sunday Night/ Early Monday Morning<br><br>Raven nodded, and listened as Zatanna ... she felt comfortable like despite all that she'd done she wasn't going to loose Zatanna's friendship. Which meant alot to her. Perhaps even more than she could articulate; but she would save telling Zatanna that for another time ... the last thing Zatanna needed was more on her emotional plate. <br><br>Raven nodded at Zatanna's question. "It seems like you enjoy questions that require a bit of explanation... "<br><br>Raven didn't want to tell her, but ... she wasn't going to lie ... and if Kal had done something to make her wonder ... she owed it to her friend to give a full story. <br><br>"I'm an empath ... most people assume that means, I can sense feelings ... much like they can see colors. Truth be told it's closer to the sense of taste than sight. Much like you can't taste color ... you can't see feelings ... you feel them."<br><br>Raven waited a moment, she wasn't sure the analogy she gave was the best, but hoped Zatanna would get it well enough to understand. "On Azarath I basically grew up on a diet of bread and water ... emotionally speaking. I was rarely allowed to even see my mother ... even the only from a distance; and we were never allowed to touch ... no hugs, no good night kisses ... nothing. When I first came here ... everyone's emotions scared the living daylights out of me. Love, Hate, Rage, Passion ... all these emotions are strong ... stronger than anything I've ever had to face on Azarath; but I managed ... spending most of my days alone in meditation."<br><br>She paused again, now getting to the answer that Zatanna was seeking. "When we were fighting Jinx ... She managed to knock off my charka.."[color] Raven said, pointing to the small red gem on her forehead. <br><br>"It's a focus for my empathic powers ... I can't limit the emotions that flow into me from others. Normally it's a small amount of what they're feeling ... if someone's in a full on rage, I might feel irritated. However with it gone ... I felt everything that everyone in the city was feeling at once ... it was ... overwhelming."<br><br>"Let's just say ... with half of the city fearing for their lives ... the overwhelming emotion of the city was ... wanting to feel alive. In the end ... I picked up a rather revealing sheer bathing suit... when Kal joined me in the pool ... I felt it was good idea to give him a show ... ... he got to keep the bathing suit."<br><br>She looked down at her tea "And if this feeling is any indication, a good portion of my dignity as well."<br>

"I like to know everything. It comes from being a illusionist to see all sides of the coin if your going to make it disappear." She could see Raven was a bit hesitant to disclose what she knew. She hoped she wasnt trying to come up with a detailed lie on the sly and push it off on her. But the way Raven's eyes seemed to glass with understanding she knew she wouldnt tarnish their new friendship with false stories. She listened quietly as Raven explained her past and her powers, and felt a jolt of sorrow for her. To never be hugged or properly loved by her mother was heartbreaking. It threw her back into her own past and she felt blessed that her mother and father showed her their affection for their only daughter. She couldnt imagine Raven as a small girl denied something as innocent as a hug to see someone cared about her. The urge to hug that child tugged at her, but she looked up to see Raven was all grown up and very loved by her team. She wondered now, how this effected what she was feeling for Kal and vice-versa. <br><br>Then the story came out. She nodded to her as she pointed to her charka and took the time to lean in and study it. She never really understood the meaning of Ravens little gem but was very curious. She never took her eyes off her forehead as she explained the use of her charka. "That sounds.... crazy stressful." Her blue eyes leveled with her, "And I complain about a bad PMS day..." She sat back and continued to listened, at first she was shocked, eyes widen and mouth open. Then a fit of giggles bubbled from her till she was crying from laughter. "Oh Rave, the amount of money I would have paid to see Kal's face when you did that..." She was smiling and wiping her eyes from the tears. "He really really likes you Rave, I bet all the chocolate in my room on it." She winked at her, "Ive seen the way he looks at you, and I have to say Im a little jealous that I have never been looked at like that. Like your the only one in the room, that can take his breath away." Her smile faltered a bit and she took a deep breath and noticed the time. "Hey, I better grab a shower before Kal steals and the water." She jumped down from the bar and was about to walk away but stopped mid turn and gave Raven a small hug. "Im glad we are a team now..." with that she waved and headed to the elevator to her room.
