Hello, fanfiction reading world! I reckon this means you guys reviewed. Many thanks to all who did! I'd like to say that from here on in, this will be in first person point of view, mostly from Rachel's view, because I think it'd fit the story better. Also note that my pairing for Rachel is undecided, so I want you guys to vote, but unless a very large number of you want her to be with Robin or Beastboy, I'm going to stick with cannon RobStar and BbxRae. For Rachel, I was thinkin' Cy, but I want you guys to pick.
DISCLAIMER: For serious, guys, if I owned Fox, DC, or WB, I would have a ridiculous amount of money. That money, and control over said companies, would be used to make WHATEVER I want to happen in any plot line HAPPEN. If I wanted a Glee and Teen Titans crossover, I'd have someone cartoon-ify the Gleeks, and have them do the voice acting. SO THERE.
Chapter Two
I could feel my jaw drop. I was talking to the TEEN TITANS. With lack of excitement in Lima, the Lima newspapers tended to focus on action in other cities, even if they were hundreds of miles away.
"A-Are you serious? I mean, my recently obtained abilities aren't really anything special, all of your powers and skills are far superior to mine and I wouldn't want to-" Beast Boy cut me off.
"Okay, I have no idea what you just said, but I don't think you're from around here. Do you have a place to crash?" The green teen asked. I lowered my head, trying to hide the fierce blush creeping across my face. I shook my head. I felt a strong, metal hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Cyborg, towering above me.
"C'mon, you can stay at the tower for a while, right Robin?" Robin nodded in approval. I smiled a bit.
"Thank you, very much." I thought back to the fight, and what the man had called me. "You can call me Songbird."
Titan's Tower
We sat at the counter in their spacious kitchen. I was sandwiched between Starfire and Cyborg.
"Would you like something to eat, Song?" Robin offered. I nodded.
"If you could spare a cup of herbal tea with honey, and some vegan-friendly cookies, I'd be in your debt." I asked. I saw Beast Boy's eyes light up at the mention of vegan cookies.
"Dude! You're a vegan too? That's awesome!" He shouted from the other side of Cyborg.
Raven rolled her eyes. "I'll put the kettle on. Is chai alright?" I nodded, and Beast Boy grabbed me a tin of sugar cookies, while Raven filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove. Soon, I was nibbling on a cookie, a cup of piping hot tea in my hand.
"So, Song," Robin started, "I have a proposal for you. If you want, you're welcome to stay here, train with us, and become the newest member of Titans West. We'll give you a room, a purpose, and we can help you unlock abilities you didn't know you had. You can design your own suits, and Cyborg will make them for you. If not, you can stay for awhile, we'll get you what you need, and send you to wherever you want to go. It's your choice."
I pondered it for a minute. I needed a place to stay. I had no purpose; I couldn't sing onstage. What if a director wanted me to go too high? I'd destroy whatever theater I was working in. I only had one choice.
"I accept."
"Glorious!" Starfire had launched an attack on me from behind. I was now trapped in a death hug. "Songbird, we shall be the best of friends!" I smiled.
"In that case, could I borrow some pajamas, and could you point me in the direction of the nearest shower?"
The Next Morning
I was up and awake, as always, at five in the morning. Lacking any of my usual exercise equipment, I simply did a few yoga poses, then made my way to the kitchen. Still wearing a yellow tank and white soffe shorts borrowed from Star, I threw open the refrigerator doors.
I turned on the radio, and found a station that was having a Lady Gaga marathon. I chugged a vanilla protein shake, wolfed down a banana, then got into Bad Romance, doing the dance around the kitchen as I cooked food for everyone else. I reminisced on the Gaga project we did in glee. I put the nostalgic thoughts out of my head, belting out the lyrics, even the ones we weren't allowed to say in class.
I was mid-The Fame, and apple pancake, when I heard the doors leading to the bedrooms open. I turned to see Robin and Cyborg, Robin clad in a white muscle shirt and red sweat pants, as well as the ever-present mask. I blushed furiously; my singing must have woken them up!
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Did I wake you guys up? I'm so sorry, I just didn't want you to wake up to an empty dinner table, and I work better when I sing, and I-" Cyborg put his hands up defensively.
"Woah there, motor mouth, it's okay. Your voice is a pretty nice sound to wake up to, and you aren't a half bad dancer." I blushed harder.
"Um, thanks. I used to be in a Glee club. I was the lead for most of our numbers..." I abandoned the subject, turning back to my pancakes. When I had used up the last of the batter, I put the stack of flapjacks on the table, with the other dishes I'd prepared.
"Damn, how much food did you make, Song?" I realized that every square inch of the counter was home to some breakfast food I had prepared.
"I was trying not to think about something. Lady Gaga brings back some memories I'm not so sure I want to remember just yet... A lot of songs tend to do that." He shut up and, not sure of what to say, he started wolfing down some bacon, while Robin had toast and a cup of coffee. Soon, the others joined us.
"Dude! I din't hab to cook ma own foob dis time! This is todalleh aweshome!" Beastboy said, his voice distorted by the vegan waffles in his mouth. A black aura clenched his jaws shut.
"Don't talk with your mouth full. It's disgusting." Raven ordered, sipping a mug of tea. Beastboy pouted, and we all laughed.
"So, Song," Cyborg started, "You have any ideas for a costume? We need to get started on it right away. You can't fight in that." He indicated my tank top and shorts. I smiled.
"I know exactly what I want."
After A Bunch of Sewing and Stuff...
I walked out into the living room, sporting my new uniform. It was a white dress, with three-quarter length sleeves, and pleats in the short skirt that allowed a shorter gold skirt underneath to show through. I also had knee-high gold boots, with a slight heel on the bottom, and gold gloves. My face was concealed by a gold mask, shaped like a bird with it's wings outstretched. Cyborg and I had also made several variations, for different weather conditions, but this was, by far, my favorite.
Beastboy's eyes bulged out of their sockets, and Cyborg blushed a little. Starfire clapped her hands, squealing in excitement.
"Friend Songbird! You look marvelous!" I smiled, and twirled, showing of the twirly skirt. Luckily I wore gold spandex underneath.
Robin rose from his spot on the couch. "Now that Song has suitable gear, lets get training."
End Chapter Two
Okay, since nobody's saying what the want the pairings to be, I'm leaning in favor of Cy. Please review, and thank you to Emerald Wyldfyre and MK300 for already doing so!
