A Team is born? (Closed)

It's been a week since they first had come together under the same roof of the heroes that had vanished, what seemed, so long ago. Their first meeting had been brief, yet indescribable. They had found what had thought to been gone forever, and we're not just talking about the tower. The teenagers assembled had found hope, and that is the world's leading element of growth. Together they will try and inspire others to find hope as well. Hope in a better tomorrow. Hope that they can achieve the impossible. Hope that one day crime would be just a lesson taught in history.

At the present time, one of them has made the journey again to the island. She walks up to the door and simply scans her thumb to open it, still amazed that that's all that had to be done in the beginning to enter this monument of light. With a giggle and a bright smile, she turned on the lights as she walked, without touching a single switch. It was to be their first official meeting and she was here early to make sure everything was in order.

In the Main Ops room was a layout of food and drinks. Chips, dip, pretzels, pizza, soda, ice cream, anything a teenager's heart could desire. Once everything was set up perfectly, she sighed in relief and went to the window, gazing out upon the bay and waiting for the rest of those who had expressed their interest for this second meeting to show up. As she waited, she wondered how this team would function, but tried not to let that get to her too much as she wanted for everything to go smoothly for the time being. They had important matters to discuss. Including the most important, getting to know each other.

The sun came through the window of Metamorphi's room within Jump city and the teen himself was awoken, he looked at his alarm clock, which he had forgotten to fix the speakers for, again, to discover he was in time for the meeting, despite his immediate concerns with a non-working alarm clock and his own sleep patterns. He got out of bed, got changed, brushed his teeth and left his home, heading for Titans tower. He arrived at the tower pretty early so he decided to hit the gym first, or in this case, the danger room.

He walked into the danger room, looking around, he saw the turrets come out and transformed his body into the metal used in several security barriers among the tower, the metal designed to withstand supervillians, he took the blasts to the chest, with his metal bod, he was not damaged, but he needed to learn to stand tha pain. The turrets continually bombarded him, not a mark was left on his body, but he felt sharp bursts of pain with each individual one, and there were dozens each 5 seconds. He bit his lip to stop himself crying out, under this pain and this increased weight, he started undergoing physical excersize, it was tough to do squats when you weighed enough to kill a man by landing on them and repedeately get shot, but he had to do this, he had to beat his record!

He gave in to exhaustion and pain at the 37 minute mark and collapsed, uttering the passcode to stop the security system as his body went back to normal, he let himself rest until he could get up and walk to the meeting. When he arrived, he was covered in sweat and still out of breath, he took a seat and looked up at Bow, the pink haired girl he'd seen on the first day, then around the city a couple of times the past week Hey there he gave her a polite smile partly because he didn't know her enough to dislike her and partly because she was kind of cute, he would of greeted the other one, but she didn't know English.

Yang sighed, waking up in her gigantic penthouse suite in the downtown hotel. Things had gone...kind of the way she'd hoped since she'd gotten there. She'd been to the tower, gotten a look inside at all the technology that was there, which was just as amazing as she'd heard, and she'd even gotten to join up with the team. Now granted, it wasn't the meeting she was hoping for. She'd hoped to meet up with Robin, Cyborg and the rest of the team, try out, and join them but this was definitely a start. The new members seemed like okay people and could hopefully be trusted.

Yang sat up and turned off the TV that she'd left on overnight, walking to her dresser and throwing on some shorts, a yellow tee shirt, and her favorite jacket before walking into the bathroom and getting ready for the day itself. Hair, eyeliner, that kind of thing. After entering the elevator she stood there and thought. Thought about how much of the Tower she hadn't gotten to see, and the trap she'd disarmed in the Danger Room with the help of her new teammates. That was the first one they'd found, and it was sheer luck that Yang was the first to explore the tower. Were the old Titans that paranoid to leave traps in every section of the tower? Maybe even more dangerous? It didn't seem likely, they did camouflage it after all.

When the doors opened and she entered the garage of the hotel, she jumped on her motorcycle and turned it on, feeling the familiar heat overtake her legs. Most people would have lost their legs by now the way she rode with shorts on, but with her durability and fire immunity, the fire from the engine of her bike was more relaxing than anything. Riding through traffic like a good little girl and pulling up at the docks, she rode the boat she'd left there out to the island, scanning her thumb and walking in. Stepping into the elevator, she took it up to a random floor and stepped out, seeing a series of bedrooms marked 'Robin', 'Cyborg', 'Raven', 'Starfire' and 'Beast Boy'. It was obviously the bedroom level and she sighed, stepping out and ready to be bombarded by energy blasts. Luckily, seeing as she was registered in the tower, it didn't view her as a threat and let her go. So it looked like so long as they were registered in the system, her teammates would be safe, that's good.

Riding the elevator to the main ops center, the door was opened to Miley, wrestling with a bottle of soda. Yang laughed and walked over, pulling the bottle to herself and looking at the cap. It wasn't that badly chewed, so obviously the girl hadn't had it for that long. She raised an eyebrow and showed her how to twist the cap off and handed it back, smiling. "And that's how you open a bottle." She said, standing up. "Sup Bow?" She smiled, hoping she had gotten the name right.

(OOC: Just wanted to say I love the lengths of our posts! So much effort! Quality! Detail! It's beautiful!)

It would seem that everyone arrived at almost the exact same time. Or, at least walked into the room at the same time. The best indicator of this is that as soon as Miley needed help, she had two of them right next to her, twisting off the cap and telling her something about it in her native language. Bow was extremely happy to have Ephraim on the team, so that he could translate for their little demon friend. It was a wonderful sight to see, already helping each other so early. She turned to Meta and smiled sweetly, walking down to the kitchen. "Hi Meta, looks like you've been working out already this morning!" She giggled and as soon as she was over to the three, Ephraim began talking about working and cleaning and training.

Although Bow would agree that that all was important and needed taking care of, she sighed and smiled in disappointed understanding. She giggled and tried to speak sweetly in counter to him. "Well hello to you too, Ephraim... Don't get me wrong, I think that's a wonderful plan when we get there, but this meeting is initially about just being together as a unit, correct? How about we eat and just hang out for a little bit before getting down to business like that, okay?" She then thought about it and looked to the others with a smile. "Unless you guys wanna go ahead and get this out of the way and then have fun?...But the pizza might get cold..." Bow was all about coming together as a team to decide things and that shined through already.

She could tell Ephraim was a planner, Yang seemed to like to help people, Meta was a hard worker, and Miley was trying her best to assimilate into this new world. Bow took note of everything and smiled. She waited a few moments for everyone to express their point of view before adding. "I think we're going to be a great team, everyone... Just throwing that out there..." She giggled and looked around the room again, sighing in happiness.

Miley blinks letting go of the bottle as Yang took it from her looking up at her from the ground curiously and cutely. Her eyes widen in amazement and excitement as Yang once again proved her intelligence by opening the strange containment device. She listened to Yang assuming she was saying something about how you opened the device as she handed it back smiling. Miley gladly took it giving a smile back as she took a mental note to ask Yang to teach her more of these lessons on how to operate the upper worlds devices after she learns how to ask and understand what Yang would be saying.

Miley takes a small sip of the soda jumping a little from the fizz before sniffing it and drinking more holding the bottle with two hands looking to Ephraim as he kneeled by her. Se was glad to the only person who seemed to speak fluent Feecon in the upper world. He told her not to drink too much of the soda for it had something called sugar in it as she drank the soda. He didn't tell her how much was too much so she figured that Bow wouldn't have brought enough soda to poison someone so it should be safe to drink all the soda right because this stuff was the best thing she has ever tasted in her life.

Ephraim then told her he would translate for her in a moment so she figured that meant what he was about to say. As he talked in English Miley took that time to finish the soda and reach up taking much more of the food eating it and finishes her soda grabbing more and gets excited as she is able to open it by herself because of Yang's explaining. By the time Ephraim looked back to her Miley's hands would be covering in food along with her face as she drank the soda like a baby would its bottle. Miley cutely nods her tail waving a little as she drinks the soda rather fast.

Miley looked at Bow as she spoke trying to get an idea of the what she was saying by looking at any gestures she may have made her body language, facial expressions, and her tone in voice never ones stopping her drinking. If everyone took turns on what they taught about what bow said by the time it reached Miley she would have finished her soda and would burp very loudly and for a long while before reaching up to the table grabbing more food to eat and opening a new bottle of soda to drink as if she didn't just made a super epic burp.

Metamorphi watched all the rest come in, the blonde girl named Yan, or something along those lines, with whom he helped shut down the security system, and Ephiram, the guy who understood the demon girl, but otherwise he knew nothing about. He felt bothered being in a room full of strangers, the only one he really felt safe around is the pink haired girl, Bow, who seemed nice and harmless, but at the same time, while her observational skills so far only included the obvious, the obvious being that he had excersized, she seemed good with words and knew how to talk to people I for one, agree with Bow, we most definately need to get to know each other before we can even think of uniting as a team he took a bite of pizza and waited for everyone elses opinion.

Yang hopped into a chair, putting her feet up on the table and grabbing an energy drink from the array of snacks. Her favorite flavor too! Cracking it open, she took a long drawn out sip, listening to what everyone had to say before crushing the now empty can and tossing it into a brand new pile on the table that she would now think of as the trash area. "Actually Ephraim, that's not even kind of necessary." She said, dropping her backpack on the table and sliding out her laptop. "I've been through the security systems and tested it out myself. So long as we're registered in the Tower as visitors or Titans ourselves, the system is not designed to attack us. It's made to keep out hostile visitors. When I went into the Danger Room, I wasn't in the system yet, so therefore it attacked me."

She then turned around her computer to the others to reveal the security feed. Thousands upon thousands of layers of code scrolling down her computer screen which she doubted most of them could make any sense of. They just didn't seem like the techie type. "What you're looking at is the central processing feed." She said, pointing at the screen and then individual lines of code. "This line here is me, then Ephraim, then Bow and so on. DNA is nothing more than lines of codes written in a form of computer language that the brain can read and will tell you how to act. Because of this it, along with memories and thoughts and so on, can be stored as data and used to write code. That's what the central computer has done with our finger prints and can also be done with an iris scan, a fingernail, a strand of hair, and so on."

She turned her computer back toward her, typing rapidly on it without looking up from her screen. "Besides, if the system really wanted us gone, this is the most secure room in the Tower. It'd probably arm everything in its arsenal at us right now and..." She paused and looked around, holding her hands up. "I don't see any giant chipmunks or anything attacking us."

It seemed that everyone agreed with her and she took a sigh in relief before reiterating what a great team they were going to be. Yang began speaking about the code and Bow leaned in, trying to understand every word she said, but getting lost for a moment in the middle as she was staring at the lines upon lines of code, trying to wrap her mind around the fact that they were the reason this whole facility functioned so smoothly. She whispered under her breath without the intention of anyone else hearing. "Gosh... Robin and Cyborg must've been geniuses to devise this whole thing..." She looked around the room at the same time as Yang and giggled when she joked about giant chipmunks.

When she looked over at Miley being covered in food, she was just a split second too late from bending over and helping her herself. It put a smile on her face the way everyone treated Miley. All of them wanted to help and teach her the ways of this world it seemed. To Bow, it looked like Miley would be their uniting factor. This little girl from the underworld would teach them what it meant to come together as a team, striving for the same goal. The thought actually made Bow giggle.

Then Ephraim proposed his next idea. Bow's eyes lit up and a bulb accidentally burst in the hallway adjacent to the common room they were in. Bow blinked and bit her lip in embarrassment, blushing ever so softly. "S-sorry about that... I really do need to train later on if you want to Ephraim..." *giggle*" She sighed and tried to think of a good game for them to play to get to know each other. Or just something they could do. With a little bit of thought, and a bright smile, she spoke to the rest with unadulterated glee. "I say we all grab a plate of food, sit in a circle like Ephraim said, or on the couch, and say our name with one descriptive word after it that begins with the same letter! I-I think that's a game anyway..." She had to think hard for that one, not exactly remembering it.

With that, she got a plate with pizza and chips and a couple cookies and soda and then went to sit on the couch, admiring once again that this was the place the Titans once hung out. She sighed as the thought developed into a short daydream and let herself get swept away with it while the others joined her. When they all got to the couch/made a circle, she giggled and spoke up. "I'll start first since I thought of the game... It's really quite easy... My first name is Rain... So... Rambunctious Rain!" *giggle*

Miley sits in the center of a large food pile not leaving much food on the table from the small wall of food she made around herself. She Watched Yang as she pulled out her laptop from her bag looking over the laptop curiously remembering it the last time she had seen Yang. Miley ate as she wondered why Yang always seemed to have the strange device. Miley tried her best to make sense of what Yang was saying but didn't get she was talking about something to do with the tower possibly until after she turned the laptop.

Miley continued to sit in the center of the piles of food as she leaned forward a bit looking at the coding as yang pointed to each line saying a few familiar names that were in the room currently though she wasn't too sure on who she was talking about when she spoke about this me person could it be another fancy upper world device? Miley uses her tail to wrap around her soda bottle and  bring it over to her for her to drink out of so she didn't have to put down her food as yang continued to talk still trying to figure out what she was saying.

Miley leaned back sitting normally as Yang turned her computer back around and looked to the ceiling when yang held up her arms to it. From what Miley got I would appear that the ceiling in their strange language was known as 'Giant chipmunks'. Miley looked at Ephraim as he talked to Yang glancing to her for a moment curiously but back at Ephraim when he spoke to her. He began to clean her with strange white squares that she constantly stared at as he used them grabbing one from him just to hold and look over. If Ephraim looked at the parts he cleaned off the food and the rest of her he would be able to tell that she had a thin layer of dirt all over her and that she would seem a bit paler than he probably would have originally thought.

Miley looked at his curiously as he spoke to the others again with a chuckle and she wondered what it was he found funny as she passes off the soda bottle from her tail to her hands to drink. Miley then looked at bow who some how apparently made a light bulb burst making Miley jump a bit. Ephraim translated what Bow said and how to play the game but she wondered what this plate thing was she talked about was.  Miley watched bow grab a plate and some food and she sat on that strange comfortable bouncy thing she jumped on when bored for the past few days.

Miley hops over her wall of food grabbing a plate and a bunch of food just leaving the other food and the ground. She ran over to the couch and hoped on a cushion that seemed to have foot prints and no dust on it the parts on the other side of it not have that much dust on it either. She jumps a bit on the couch before doubling back to grab the rest of the magical bottles of soda and runs to the couch sitting where she just jumped and sat down with a smile eating her food.

Ephraim once again translated for her and she took a drink of her soda thinking Bows name was so small. It was her turn and it seemed that she didn't know that you only said your first name so she deiced to say her entire super long name. "(I am Milicondras Gendorytoonyfeel Feedecondro and I would say the descriptive word with my name but I do not know your language and I think I would just get the wrong word so I apologize for not completing the rest of this quite enjoyable game correctly)"

Yang continued typing on her laptop for another few minutes, even after Smiley had finished talking. She wasn't purposely ignoring anyone, she wanted to make sure the Tower was safe to bring people into. The last thing she wanted was for people to be fried for visiting her and her new friends.

Looking up, she watched as everyone turned to her, grabbing another drink and cracking it open. "Oh. Sorry." She said, finishing her typing and taking another sip of her drink. "Okay. So Yang...Yang..." She scratched her chin for a few minutes. Not a single word came to mind that even started with the letter Y. "Well...nothing starts with Y and my last name starts with X so that's even more obscure so...I'm just gonna go with Cyber-God." She chuckled, opening her laptop again.
