Reforming the Teen Titans (OPEN)

[Dick Grayson]

Nightwing took a sharp breath as he waited in the brightly lit room. He sat at the head of a conference table, awaiting th arrival of the others.

He had recently planned to reform the Teen Titans, and had sent out messages to several past members. He was no longer a "teen" himself, but that didn't matter. What mattered was getting this group of heroes back together. He expected Raven or Tim to be the first to the scene, but he wasn't making any bets. Some had been easy to track down...Raven, Superboy, Spoiler, Beast Boy, Robin, Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle..and others were more difficult.

He finally propped up his boots onto the pristine table and let out a sigh as he leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head. He had even tracked down a few new and relatively unknown persons he might be interested in training and turning into a Titan, or at least a reserve member.

He looked at the entrance with a tiny frown, he wasn't all that patient.

[whiteraven]

"You ought to learn to be more patiant." Raven drawled as she stepped out of the shadows that cloaked the doorway. "The world doesn't happen in a heart-beat." She looked down the expance of the table and raised her eyebrows slightly,

"How many people did you contact, again?" There were more chairs than she had expected Dick would be able to find. She did try her honest best not to underestimate her friends, but parhaps not being around them as often had made her rusty.

Picking a chair about halway across the table she sat in it gingerly, expectantly. Big decisions would be made here, but for now it all depended on who would show. If anyone.

[Dick Grayson]

Nightwing rolled his eyes upwards to watch the approaching Raven, he waved his hand lazily over his head.

"Yeah, yeah. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz", he said as he leaned forward and swiped his boots off from the top of the table.

"But when half of these people have superspeed, flight and super agility you would think they could be on time now and then", he added quickly. of course, he was dealing with super powered teens..

"I invited quite a few", he answered her next question and he looked at the surrounding chairs. "Beast Boy, Superboy, Robin, Batgirl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, Hawkeye...", he paused for a few moments.

"And also some newcomers to the scene, some from New York and around...figured we could use some fresh faces"

[Batgirl]

Just then Batgirl walked in " Hey Nightwing, Raven, I'm not late am I?"[/color]She asked taking a seat. "I was out patrolling around Bludhaven when I happened to get your message." She offered as an explanation. "In case any of you were wondering I really haven't seen much in the way of crime around Bludhaven lately. Although when it's this quiet crimewise around here I tend to get nervous. This much silence from the criminal element rather leads me to think someone's hatching something major which means we need to be on the lookout for any unusual behavior from any of our known felons." Batgirl said to the room at large.

[Spoiler]

"This is so cool!" , a tiny yet shrill voice shrieked out before anyone had even entered the room.

A few seconds later, Spoiler appeared at the doorway. Stephanie actually had taken time out to make sure her costume and all looked in top shape.
She was pretty excited that Nightwing, of all people, had invited her to join the Titans. Of course, that probably meant she would be doing a lot of training. That part wasn't too appealing...

"Hey Cass" , Stephanie whispered as she slid in the seat next too Batgirl. Cassandra and her had been good friends for a while now.

"Caught your speech, you're freakishly talkative today" , she added, still whispering. It was rare that Batgirl spoke more than a few mumbled words, she had only recently learned to speak and read.

"What's up?"

[Batgirl]

"Hey Steph. I'm only talkative when I have something to say, which I usually don't. I find, for me at least, silence expresses more than words ever could." Batgirl whispered back to her friend whom she was really happy Nightwing had invited to join them. "As far as what's up, not much. In fact, aside from Nightwing and Raven, you and I are the first ones to show up." Batgirl said.

[jamiereyes]

Jaime Reyes had gotten the invitation, yes. The Teen Titans were reforming.
Fully dubbed in his Blue Beetle suit, Jaime made his way through the halls and rooms. Finally seeing commotion, he walked in, quite quietly.
"Hello?" He peeked in with his golden eyes. There was a few people in the room. Not to many. Jaime began making his way in.
"I got this invite, something about new Teen Titans? Is it here?" He asked a quite obvious question.
"Heh, yeah, I'm Blue Beetle."

[Batgirl]

"Hey, Blue. Yeah, this is the meeting of the new Teen Titans." Said a girl dressed in black, sitting in one of the chairs around the conference table. "I'm Batgirl, known out of costume as Cassandra Cain. My friend sitting next to me is Spoiler. She's known out of costume as Stephanie Brown. The other two are Nightwing and Raven."

[whiteraven]

Raven watched as people started to slowly trickle into the room. She had at least heard of all of them. Batgirl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle. She observed them talk amongst themselves for about a minute. It was good that they at least somewhat knew each other.

"Welcome." She said in her soft emotionless voice. "I am glad that you have chosen to come. I believe that we can expect many more to join us in time. Please choose a seat, make yourselves comfortable."

She paused to watch them again, her dark eyes calculating, trying to deduce their strengths and weaknesses just through the emotions she could feel.

[Shockwave]

Here we go!!

A deep sigh. Inhale, exhale. This was her chance. Gwen Stratford took an unusually shy step into the building, grey eyes wide, hands gripped behind her. She hadn't been stalking the crime radio, right? Of course not. She just happened to hear about this little get together... among the grapevine, so to speak. She didn't receive an invite. Would she be shooed away? What would happen? A downward sprial of questions formed, forcing her down with them. Immediately, Gwen felt her usually overflowing confidence drain from her body as she entered the room with the heroes. Real heroes. Not any amateurs, here.

Gwen rubbed her hands together in uncertainty. But there was no going back now. Sweat formed at her palms and she gulped once she gazed upon the group. Stop being so self-conscious! Gwen scolded herself with an amusing, yet angered face. She felt bound because she was surrounded by such power. If anyone could see auras, Gwen's would be radiating a giant wave. As if on reflex, she tucked a few strands of rebellious crimson hair behind her ear.

Though Shockwave's discomposure was quite obvious, her lips turned into a wide, carefree smile, flashing her vibrant, pearl teeth. "Hey everyone," Gwen began, moistening her lips at the pause. "Call me Shockwave."

[Tim Drake [Robin]]

"Call me Shockwave."

Those were the first words Robin heard as he entered the room, his bo staff at his side.

"Shockwave?"

He had never heard of the woman, unlike the others in the room. He gave her a quick once over. Robin was always a little wary about newcomers. He was always more careful than Nightwing, who now sat at the head of the table.

He smiled nervously at the unfamiliar woman as he continued to walk towards the conference table. He saw Batgirl and Spoiler,Raven and Blue Beetle.

"Hey Spoiler"

He had a tiny smile on his face. He had dated Spoiler in the past, although things were unclear now. He took a seat next to Nightwing.

"Sorry I'm late. Who else is showing up?"

[Batgirl]

"Hey, Shockwave. Welcome to the new Teen Titans. I'm Batgirl. Sitting next to me are: Spoiler and Blue Beetle. The other two are Nightwing and Raven. C'mon and have a seat with us."[/color] Then Batgirl looked around and saw Robin had entered the room, "Hey Robin. I hadn't been aware you were interested in taking part in this"[/b] Batgirl said upon recognizing him.

[Shockwave]

When she was greeted, Gwen smiled wide, wider than she had in a long time. Nice to meet you Batgirl-- Hi, Spoiler-- Blue Beetle-- Nightwing-- Raven-- Gwen's thoughts ran rapid, and when she attempted to speak this, it merely came out as a bunch of loud mumbles and slurred words, mashed together in a heap of tangles.

"Shockwave?"

Gwen Stratford turned to see the Boy Wonder, in the flesh. Her grey eyes widened in surprise. She continued to walk towards the table, nevertheless, only to walk right into the table, making her jump, and pushing the table slightly where the heroes sat.

Gwen's face went scarlet making no contrast with her hair. In attempt to erase the thought of ever making a fool out of herself, Shockwave quickly pulled out a chair from under the table and promptly sat, covering her face with her hands, and letting out quiet laughter at her clumsiness.

"It's okay if I wasn't technically invited, right?" Gwen smiled crookedly to bury her gracelessness. Nice going, She told herself. Like these people want to hire a hero who can't even watch where she walks.

[Tim Drake [Robin]]

Robin raised an eyebrow as he listened to the words fumble over her words, and watched as she rammed against the table. He was more than a little surprised that Nightwing had chosen to invite someone so..well..clumsy.

"It's okay if I wasn't technically invited, right?"

Robin stood from his seat at complete surprise at the young womans comment. He was pretty surprised that someone completely unknown was sitting with the rest of them. he looked around in surprise.

"Well...who are you...and how did you find out about this...and why are you here?"

[hawkeye]

Hawkeye walked into the room she had gotten an invited to this little get together and looked around at everyone with an indifferent look on her face. She only came because she had no idea where or what happened to the other Young Avengers and it felt odd not hearing anything from anyone sure she had been away at war but that didn't mean someone couldn't have left a note or an e-mail.
