So. About Roy being a good kid?

It's been a while since I've gotten back to this thing, but we've been dealing with some "issues" lately.

mainly Roy, but the Batfamily is also incorporating a new member- Batgirl. I really like her but Batman is full out against her. I highly doubt he really will have a say in what she does tho. She's got great form, she seems to be a gymnast of some sort. Robin brought her around a few days ago to meet the Titans and almost all of us warmed up to her right away.

Dick is still getting used to having his permit, but Cyborg has been teaching me how to take care of, make, and take apart engines, and we made a motorcycle from scratch these past few months. We finally got it all together and he (Dick) took me out for a spin on it as soon as we gave him the keys, it ran so smooth! I was so proud of it! :D

And spending time with Cyborg was so nice, I expected him to be really brash and not as nice as he is, he really is just like a gigantic (and I stress gigantic) teddy bear. He's super paranoid that the team will be hurt and he basically helps take care of everyone

on that note of taking care of, I went to see Roy today. I do like Roy.

He's one of the sweetest, most laid back guys I've ever met, and I love him. Love like the kind you show your cousin you only see once in a while, but he means the world to you, so you love hanging out with him when he lets you.


But there wasn't much love today.


I had called him earlier to let him know I would be dropping by, nobody has really heard from him recently, and I had to stop at the Library to pick up some books for a research paper I had to finish. His apartment is really close to the library so I left him a message (oh, he's sort of emancipated, him and Ollie get along well enough but I guess Roy just likes his alone time, not hard to guess why anymore, basically: Ollie pays for the apartment as long as Roy keeps it up and does his duty at night).


The message said that I would be by with lunch around noon so we could talk and go get him some groceries if he was lacking any after lunch. He didn't answer his door when i knocked but I could hear him inside so I found the spare key and came in. When I put lunch and the books I had borrowed on the counter and called out, he still hadn't come into the kitchen/living room.


I found him on the floor in the bathroom with a needle on the floor next to his arm.


I had to call an ambulance right away, he wasn't breathing well at all and now I'm on bedside duty. I never knew, and I'm not sure how long this has been going on. We haven't told Oliver or Dinah just yet, and we've kept him anonymous, Cy and I are bringing him back to the Tower tonight before we push him to tell us about what's going on. Dick doesn't even know. Which is probably a good thing for now.

I suppose we'll see how things work out later on.

Sorry about the long wait on the blog, just been busy I guess. In retrospect blogs aren't quite as important as what we deal with day to day. Bumblebee is back up and running , out of her cast, and Raven has been a bit more moody than usual. Everyone else  seems fairly normal. Just running about taking care of this big ol family at this point

Mother's Day

I royally suck at updating this thing. Seriously. Things should die down soon, Cyborg is graduating from high school right now so we're all kind of annoyingly mashed. We're trying to plan out a graduation party for him and Sarah (his friend who he helps coach youth soccer with) is scouting out locations, we'll probably just have it in the park but we're invited the EXTENDED family. (All the titans plus mentors Cy' gets along with and some family if anyone wants- like some of my siblings are coming up - the older ones. I'm not babysitting everybody -.-; )



Yesterday was his birthday so we got a huge cake decorated and he devoured a good portion of it xD we didn't have much time to celebrate though because there were also a few ceremonies we needed to take care of for the city. Mainly stuff to do with schools and one Key to the City ceremony (they sometimes award new ones after new members have been integrated to the teams and the city folk show support - what's really creepy is seeing your name on peoples chests and nearly getting mobbed. Cy almost hoisted me up to his shoulder to avoid some of the people - though it was a really sweet gesture from the city :) )

Anyways, the point of this was to let you know that Mother's Day passed ( :< ) Diana, Dick, and I all spent the day together. Dick and I took Diana out to lunch and dinner and treated her to a spa treatment when we had to take off for work. It was fantastic. Dick and Diana had already planned the day, I had planned to go out with my biological mom but she ended up getting sick and banning me from the house so I couldn't spread it around the Tower :( so I wasn't able to see my mom at all. Dick asked Diana if I could come and I guess she said something to the effect of  "if she thinks well enough of me, I would love to spend Mother's day with her"

so I brought baklava. xD Diana loves it, and it wasn't too terrible to make. We got together and had a fantastic time. I called mom later that day and made sure she knew how much I love her :) my siblings  all made her cards but now they're all spreading whatever my mom had around the house xD I'm actually glad I didn't go.

Easter Eggs

Beast Boy and I dyed Easter Eggs today and made some Cascarones The dyed easter eggs were mainly for the house to spruce it up a bit. The Cascarones we're using for the east egg hunt in the park tomorrow. We're also going to have plastic eggs with small candies and prizes in them :) CAn't wait, I invited my family and mom said she would try to bring the kids, I really hope I get to see them.

Diana promised to come stop by for a little while too, I'm making some Lamb (finding a tofu alternative or something for BB tonight) as well as some Tsoureki (recipe if you want to try it) and probably a couple of other side dishes for everyone else. I know Robin will probably eat at home with his dad and all, but the others are staying and well... someone needs to make them all some ACTUAL healthy food. No, barbeque every night without vegetables does not equal healthy food Cyborg.

Anyways, the dying of eggs was... fun and messy xD Beast Boy got a little too excited and since I was just bumming around the house today, I was wearing a white tank top (really, I should have known better) and he got it dyed with some of the red dye. Which was no big deal. it was just a $5 tank top. But BB was freaking out an all sorts of apologetic and I had to tell him to calm down so we could finish dying the eggs. I was tempted to toss some more dye on it to make it tie dye but didn't feel like cleaning up the mess.

Robin came into the kitchen once we were done (the dye had actually dried pretty dark) and was asking us what we were doing when he saw my shirt, thought I was bleeding and went into total older brother melt down mode. I tried to tell him it was just dye, but then he thought I said I was going to die. and just, oy. these boys. Gods help me, they keep me on my toes.

Once we had all of that sorted, Robin made me change into another shirt because he kept looking over and getting freaked out xD we refrigerated the eggs and I went and changed into a new tank top (my skin is actually dyed a bit where it was darkest on my shirt haha) I made a quick dinner, nothing special just some spaghetti. Meatless sauce for BB and meatballs and sauce for everyone else :)

Hoppy Eggster guys~ <3

Someone will die tonight

No I'm not being ominous. No I'm not being dramatic. I AIM TO KILL. :<

I haven't heard back from three titans who are out of town and Robin is in Gotham these next few weeks dealing with a few family things. Things in Gotham are a bit ... hairy, at least relations wise :/

Anyways, I haven't heard from Raven, Bumblebee, or Speedy in a while. At least two days. And it's driving me mad. If I don't hear back soon, I'm going to go track them down. They're somewhere in Canada at the moment. That's all I can figure out.

Cyborg is telling me to give it another day. How can everyone be so patient!? I mean, i get HIM now. HE makes sense. He hardly reacts in order to avoid pain. Okay. I get that. (Iceland did a number guys, we got our butts handed to us. Raven and I just barely defeated the elves. ELVES. (no I'm not kidding.) Raven and I had to keep Cyborg running, his cell went funny while we were there and Cyborg and I had to create a hand generator to keep his cell going while Raven got us transportation. so. much. arm. pain. (I better not hear any snickers about that.))

so overall, I GET why he's not really worried, but it's RAVEN. AND BUMBLEBEE. AND SPEEDY. How can I NOT worry? I haven't even told Robin. No sense in worrying him anymore.

Going to drown my worries in a tub.

Also: Killing someone because I CAN NOT find my favorite bra. Seriously getting annoyed. BRING IT BACK. :<

Alfred's Birthday!

Alfred's birthday was on the 8th :D Mr. Wayne and Diana made us (Dick and I) take him out for the day while they stayed at the manor to cook (which was surprisingly good). we took Alfred to the opera early in the afternoon- his choice, though Dick and I actually enjoyed it :D We left Alfred to Mr. Wayne and Diana for a while and headed back to the mansion to clean up some stuff, both the mess from Diana and Mr. Wayne as well as to clean Dick's room and a few of the biggest rooms.

When they got back Alfred laughed at how dirty we looked and gave us hugs as thanks. we had dinner and then cake and ice cream (I made the cake- we bought the ice cream) It was nice and quiet and noone got called away for our other jobs that night :)

Alfred even said that he "wished he had a birthday more often if this is how you clean" xD I'm gonna try to keep my messes as minimal as possible from now on when I'm over there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALFRED <3

stay Beastly :D

Wow...That's a Delay

Sorry guys, I got busy again and forgot.

Been training a lot more lately, I'm allowed to participate in fights now, but nto using my powers because we don't know what could go wrong, in the next couple of months I'll be allowed to start integrating my powers into battle.

We celebrated Dick's 16th birthday on the 21st of March and he went out and got his permit right away (oh great) so we're dealing with him and his ego boost xD

Beast Boy thoroughly enjoyed his April 1st (especially when I pied him in the face with banana cream) xD It got annoying by the end of the day but over all was a great one. He had one last prank for us as the end of the day, changing the alarms to show tunes and playing them at 11:59:00 to 11:59:59 -.-; really fast.

Diana and I hung out last weekend and went to the movies, I don't totally remember what we saw, it was just nice hanging out with her. Dinah and I had a lesson on Sunday and Batman came to check up on us on the 30th.

Oh! On Dick's birthday, we spent the day at Wayne manor, Roy, Wally, Karen, Chris, and I and a few of the other boys from his basketball team. Basically we just hung out, ran around (que Wally) and watched  a ton of movies and celebrated his birthday. There was still some snow on the ground outside (jeez NEw York, catch up with the seasons) but it was fun to celebrate his birthday AND the first day of Spring! :D

I'm supposed to go back there for Easter. xD should be fun.


leaving for now, Raven, Cyborg, and I have a mission in Iceland Can't wait :D

Japan and Hawaii

Things are getting hectic around here. The Titans are all jumbled around. Hawaii and Japan got hit by huge Tsunamis and other countries are on alert. Cyborg, Bumblebee, Beast Boy, and Raven have gone to Japan to try to help. Speedy, Robin, Aqualad, and Starfire are in Hawaii. Argent is based in Steel City (Titan's East HQ) and Jinx and I are at Titans Tower in Jump City (main HQ) directing Mas&Menos, Kid Flash, and any other Titans out and about to keep things somewhat together.

No idea whats gotten into the gods if this is even them (amazingly, other gods exist and they DO make things happen on their own sometimes).

JLU is also aiding, I hope this won't be another Katrina all over the world :< Diana already called Jump to check on us and is currently in Hawaii, no idea where the others are. Batman is probably fighting floods in NY on his own (well, maybe on his own) ugh this is a mess right now.

Gotta call Red Star and Cap't Atom to ask them to go to Japan. Gosh so much is happening at once :/
