All new updates will be in bold!
After reading story after story and writing one idea down after another… I finally found an idea that I like enough to stick with. This is the fifth story I have started and the one I plan to write for a while if it is liked. You may want to check back in this summery periodically for updates about the characters history and so on… this isn't really a chapter, more of a background of what happened before my story starts starts.
This is told with Raven as the main character mostly for the time being. But it does switch back and forth between other groups. And it may not be a Raven main character story the whole time.
They live in a small town called Jumpintown City and attend Jump Up High School. For the most part, they have all grown up together. They are entering their freshman year. Our main characters are among the 'in crowd' but in different cliques. This school and town is a tight knit community so the 'popular kids' aren't all stuck up like you would find in most schools these days. The Titan's class has 87 students. Starfire moved to town in eighth grade and Terra moved to town in fifth. Fair warning: I am not a Terra fan at all… so she does not have a good character… but things can change… you never know.
I have drawn out their neighborhood a bit and when I scan it I will post a link so you know how and where I am referring during any given time.
All characters will or already have some of their powers right now and they are getting stronger. This town is full of secrets that are starting to become unveiled. Pairings will not be told for numerous reasons… 1 being I am bound to change them at any given time… it's high school after all and we all know you don't stay with the same person 'forever'.
Character summeries (short version):

My goal is for this to be a four book series following their progress through high school, finding powers, discovering secrets, trials and friendships, loves, losses and so on.
If I am unclear about anything in the story… ask and I will most likely answer you in this "chapter". This will be updated periodically if I feel I need to explain something more in depth and I can't fit it into the story somewhere or if I just feel I need to clarify something.
So, happy reading…
Update: 4/21/05
I've tried to scan my drawing of the neighborhood and was successful, but it won't let me make an online link so I may make it accessible to my loyal readers. Suggestions are welcome… or you can let me know via email or review if you'd like to view it and I will send it to you through email. Or a troubleshooting technique to help me get it online is always welcomed and appreciated.
Also. I had started this story a really long time ago and when I had no reviews I had put it off and stopped thinking about it. Now with the great amount of support I have received, I will have to get back in the swing of things. I have the next chapter about 1/3 written so give me time and please be patient. Like I mentioned, I lost my train of thought so now I'm open for ideas… credit will be given where due.
To answer some reviews:
Dea Lunae- I will only tell you who some of them are... The rest you will have to guess for now until it becomes completely obvious. And then if you (or anyone) are still confused I will be more than happy to tell you.
Raven is obviously Raven. Vic is Cyborg. Logan is Beast boy. Kori is Starfire. Jennie is Jinx. Tim is Robin. And Terra is a given. Other than that you'll have to wait and see. Or make your own speculations and see if you're right.
MCLBLUE- okay… powers… yes and no. Everyone does or will have their rightful powers in time. Not necessarily yet. But if you pay attention to detail, you will notice some mention of 'coming into one's self'. But that will unfold eventually.
star/rob bb/rae 4 eva- sorry to disappoint you… but if they do get together it wont be for quite a while. Maybe not even in Book 1. Actually probably not in Book 1.
Ok so I've covered most reviews that require answering. Again I ask for patience and support and I will work hard to get an update out soon. I have made it my next goal before I do anything else.
Thank you so much for my reviews too. I love getting reviews. I normally write for my own pleasure but sharing my work is so exciting and getting reviews are exhilarating. Thank you again.
Happy reading…
