Welcome, one and all, ladies and gentleman! Feast your eyes on perhaps the most awful story known to man!
Ha, no, really. So I am in love with gender-bendered stories, so I thought I'd write on while I'm working my other story, Day in the Life. I currently got a bad case of writer's block for DITL, so I'm gonna be writing this story while working on the other.
This story is a gender-bendered spin off of the real show, and I'll be using the episodes as my plot line. Not all of them, just the significant ones or the ones I particularly liked. :D
Disclaimer: I don't own anything...Well, kind of, but...I mean...oh, I'll just stop talking.
I want to give two shout outs:
One, to the dev. user carrinth for being so kind to let me use two of her names; Revan and Bionica, and the other to Katie, or RoseMage, for helping me write the opener!
Sorry Jess! You ditched me for shopping. Nyah!
I'm sure you've heard of the Teen Titans- five teenaged superheroes that fight to protect Jump City from harm. We know them as Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin.
In this alternate universe, however, the Titans are not normal teenagers going through angst-ridden high school, nor are they adults living with their super-powered kids. In this universe, the Titans are still the Teen Titans, who battle both meta-human villains and strange blue substances lurking in their refrigerator.
There is but one crucial difference that sets the two universes apart: their genders.
Revan, a mysterious and somewhat reclusive telekinetic whose looks are about as odd as his past. Immediately written off as the creepy Goth or Emo kid, Revan does not pay attention to the stereotypes. Powers that are controlled by his emotions, Revan cannot—or thinks he cannot—show emotion, or the outcome could result in a certain other-dimensional demon taking over the world, possibly the universe.
Beast Girl, the perky green-skinned girl who acts as your typical cheerleader, often finds herself as a fan boy's most fantasized team member. Petite, pretty, and lively, though her jokes we can't say the same for. Unfortunately for her teammates, all the adoring fans have given her somewhat of an ego. As a young child living with her biochemist parents in Africa, Gabriele 'Gabi' Logan was infected with a mysterious disease known as Sakutia, which resulted in her skin turning green. But as a side effect, she also gained the ability to morph into any animal she chose, whether extinct or other worldly.
Bionica, once known as Victoria Stone, a smart and athletic girl who had a bright future in athletics or technology—whichever she chose—'s life came crashing down after an accident that killed her mother and wounded herself. Her father, a scientist, was able to save her life, but at the cost of most of her body. Now a half-machine, half-teen, Bionica is the ultimate big sister.
Blazefire, more affectionately known as Blaze around his teammates, hails from a warrior planet called Tamaran. Gifted with the ability of flight and a green energy he calls blaze bolts, due to lack of creativity, he makes a formidable enemy. Often thought as stupid, he is far from it. He is naïve of Earth's culture and ways, but that is not to be misinterpreted as stupidity. Like Beast Girl, many of the female population would die to get their hands on him; though they'd have to get through Robyn first.
This brings us to Robyn, a daring female crime fighter who is also the team's leader. Witty, deductive, and somewhat obsessive, Robyn pushed by the stereotypes of female superheroes at a young age. After a tragic accident that killed her parents, she was taken under the wing of the dark knight himself, where Rebecca Grayson changed her name to 'Robyn'. There she became a master at martial arts and learned how to sniff out clues like a bloodhound. After a falling out with the Batman, Robyn left Gotham City in hopes of a solo career. This idea was abandoned the minute she met the titans, however.
The five teenaged superheroes now reside in a T shaped tower built by Bionica's father and do their best to keep hormones at bay. But being teenagers, their hormones have just reached full effect and sometimes it gets…difficult.
This is the story of their lives, and how they cope with angst, drama, hormones, and friends and foes.
"Goddamn it, Beast Girl! Where the hell is that remote?"
The outburst was only to be replied by a snort and a roll of the eyes. "What makes you think I lost it? It's probably where you left it," The green-skinned girl motioned to the yellow table, where a very simple black remote was currently resting. The unusually tinted girl was clothed in purple hiking boots and reasonably short shorts from the waist down. From there, she wore a midriff-baring black shirt with three-quarter length sleeves, covered by an unzipped purple vest. The clothes hugged her petite body tightly. "Duh."
Her friend, a muscular but feminine girl mostly covered in metal and a luminous blue technology, flushed and switched on the television. Her hair, long, silky, and black, was braided into cornrows on the human side of her face. Her skin was a creamy brown, and her one human eye was a bright gray-blue.
"I knew that," the cybernetic girl protested.
"Knew what?" A voice called from behind the two. The serious tone said as much for the owner of the voice, a slender girl with shoulder-length black hair. Her clothes, large black boots and green spandex Capri pants clashed somewhat with her sleeveless red shirt, formfitting with her curves. A cursive 'R' was scribed in the right corner of her shirt. Behind her flowed a black cape, outlined in yellow. Her eyes were hidden by a black mask that seemingly held onto her face for dear life.
"Bionica lost the remote again," the girl with green skin, obviously Beast Girl, giggled, finally looking up from her nail file.
"Did not!"
The other two girls exchanged amused glances. "Where are the boys?" The new arrival girl asked, glancing around the near-empty living room.
Beast Girl gave a shrug. "Dunno, Robyn. You know Revan—he's probably mediating. I'm not sure I even wanna know where Blaze goes."
Robyn chuckled, jumping over the couch. "They better get here soon; combat practice starts in an hour."
"Relax, would ya?" Bionica joked; stifling a yawn as she channel surfed.
Robyn shot her a serious glance. "All I'm saying—"
"Friends!" The sound of automated doors sliding open, followed by footsteps, ricocheted around the spacious room. The male voice sang loudly, echoing the room.
"Ahh!" Beast Girl jumped six feet into the air.
A tall figure flew next to Robyn, a purple sack decorated in polka dots and horns rested in his arms.
"I have found my chlorbag pipes! Now we may celebrate Krintack properly!" The boy, a tall fellow with a swimmer's build, rubbed the distorted-looking instruments affectionately. His fiery orange-crimson was cropped neatly at his shoulders, and the completely green eyes were lit up in the excitement. Clad in a sleeveless purple shirt and pants, the only thing that wasn't purple was his chest plated armor and arm bands. His knee-length boots, stopping just below his knees, were a darker purple.
Neither Beast Girl nor Bionica made an attempt at hiding their dislike of the deformed bag pipes.
Robyn grimaced ever-so-slightly and raised an eyebrow at the beaming alien. "Err, Blazefire, it's not that they're nice, but…"
He frowned and looked down to his 'chlorbag pipes'. "What is wrong?" He asked in an innocent voice.
The two other females looked around behind him, mock expectancy plastered across their faces. Lost for words, Robyn tried to use hand gestures to say what was on her mind.
Eventually, she just gave up and forced a smile. "They're great. I'm sure they sound…lovely."
Blaze took this as a request. "Very well," He replied, putting the one of the horns to his lips. All occupants of the room, now including a blue-cloaked boy with violet hair who had slipped in unnoticed and was brewing a cup of tea at the counter, eyes' widened and took alarm.
"No!" They shouted in unison.
"But Robyn said—"
"Never mind what she said, Blazefire," The violet-haired boy said from behind them, sipping his tea without any slurping.
"But—"
"I think we listen to Revan for once," Beast Girl added, throwing a smirk at the cloaked boy. Even though Revan was the wisest of the team, however 'creepy' (as Beast Girl would so lovingly say), and most problems went straight to Revan or Robyn.
He scowled and went back to his tea.
Meanwhile, across town, a shadowed silhouette of a figure had just finished watching a demonstration video.
"Well, ma'am? What do you think?" A man, rather clean-cut looking, asked. He wore an earl gray suit and slicked back gray hair. His face was set in a firm line, though questioning and near curiosity.
"Hmm…good, but I will need more then fancy demonstration videos to make my decision. I have one test for you before I reach my verdict…destroy the Teen Titans."
Grr, I hate what I named Starfire. Blazefire...ugh. But...I have no other creativity, so screw it.
Oookay...so if you hadn't noticed, I'm starting out my 'series' with Final Exam. Next chapter will be titled 'Final Exam'. Jinx will be known as Hexus, Gizmo is Techna, and Mammoth is Twinkles, or Twink, or Tink as she will be known here. >:)
For next chapter.
Opener is pretty short, for the readers who just now reading any of my stories, I gotta warn you, my chapters tend to be short, but I'm a pretty frequent updater.
If no one likes this or I don't get the feedback I'm looking for by the next...oh say...two chapters, I'll just cancel the story.
Which means, if you like the story, REVIEW!
