It was quiet outside Jump City High School. But not for long. The bell rang and seconds later, a horde of kids ran out, cheering and ready for three months of vacation. After the stampede of kids ended, four other kids,two boys and two girls, walked out the school hall. They took places at the stairs of the entrance and looked to the school. The biggest of them sighed.

"Oh man, how unmissable school can be, but I really gonna miss this place those three months." Victor Stone said, while tightening some joints of his prosthetic, slightly cybernetic, arm. His friend, Richard Grayson nodded and lifted his black sunglasses higher on his nose. His girlfriend, Kory Anders, was busy babbling with Rachel Roth. Those two were opposites but best friends.

Kory was always cheerful, willing to help and sometimes a bit naive, and because of that she had earned the nickname 'Starfire'. Rachel, on the other hand, always seemed down, even if she had a really good day. That was just how she acted. She liked meditation, tea and books about mythology. Everybody called her 'Raven', a name she liked very much. Victor was nicknamed 'Cyborg', because of his prosthetic arm he lost after a car accident with his mother. They both had survived, but Vic has lost an arm. But because he was so good friends with Dick, his adoptive father, Bruce Wayne, owner of Wayne Enterprises, had made sure that Vic received the best prosthetic arm his company had produced. Dick Grayson, nicknamed 'Robin', used to live in the circus and performed acrobatic stunts with his mother and father, 'the flying Graysons'. After a stunt went terrible wrong, Bruce had adopted him. Richard liked living with Bruce and Bruce's parents had welcomed him in the family as their own grandson.

"Ah, our 'Teen Titans'." A voice sad behind them. They quickly got up and looked at their teacher.

Dick rubbed the back of his head. "Hey, Mr. Wilson. Just looking back at our year here." Mr. Slade Wilson was a respected man, by the other teachers and students alike. He had fought in the war, where he lost his right eye. He never wanted a glass eye, but instead wore a black eye patch. Vic chuckled."Good one, Mr. S. Teen Titans, I like that." Mr. Wilson raised his hand in defense."Please, victor, school's out, vacation started. Call me by my name." "Sure thing, Slade" they all said, except Rachel, said at the same time. Slade noticed that."Miss Rachel, something wrong?" he asked concerned. Rachel shrugged."Not really. Just going to miss this place...and kinda you too." Slade laughed. He was a friend off all students, but Rachel was really attached to him. He had helped her to a really difficult period. "Don't worry, my young friends. Three months of fun end fast. You'll be back soon enough. But if you going to miss the school that much, I can still sign you in for summer school." The four teens quickly started saying that wasn't necessary. He laughed."Off you go, have fun, respect nature and Rachel,...try to smile now and then." Rachel produced a soft smile. The four friends departed while Slade closed the doors and school gate. He watched Victor's car pass by, honking while the others waved at him. He was right, School's out and the fun has yet to start.

They soon arrived in the neighborhood they all lived. They noticed a large moving truck at one of the houses, already busy with moving things into the house.

"Hey Rae, it seems you got a new neighbor." Victor said. Rachel gave him an angry glare, she hated that nickname. Only her mother could say it. Soon, a car of the new owners arrived. A man and woman got out. They noticed that another person was sitting in the car. The woman opened the passenger door. "Come on Gar, get out.". The boy got out, but before the four teens could see his face, he had popped his hood on and ran inside. Victor, Dick, Kory and Rachel approached the new neighbors. Robin started with the greetings. "Hello, welcome in Jump City." The woman smiled. "Hello dears, My name's Rita Dayton and that's my husband Steve. Our son Garfield just ran inside." Kory smiled and clapped her hands, jumping while she did it. "Glorious, vacation started and we have a new friend to enjoy it with. When can we meet him?" Rita's face became concerned. "if you want to meet him, you shall have to wait until tomorrow. We have a lot of work to do. Dick did a step forward."Maybe we can help. It's not like we have something better to do." Rita thought about it for a moment, smiled and nodded. The four friends ran to the truck and started unloading things.
