In your bed?

"Gaaah!" you scream as you spring up in your bed in a cold sweat.

You were having one of those nightmares where you're in a very familiar setting but everything seems just a bit off. You had the sense during it all that someone was watching you. Also you now have a really weird feeling of déjà vu.

You try to think of exactly what happened in your dream, but your concentration is broken by a loud pounding at your door, followed by a even louder shout from Beast Boy.

"DUUUUUUUDE. WAKE UP. YOU'RE MISSING PANCAKES!"

"Uh. Be right out." You do your best to shake off the remaining feelings of unease caused by your nightmare and get changed. By the time you make it to the Main Operations room you had practically forgotten all about it.

"Hey L-man. Grab yourself a big hunking plate of pancakes! Booyah!" Cyborg greets you with a towering plate of pancakes that he shoves forcefully into your arms.

"Oof!" The impact nearly causes you to topple over.

Beast Boy looks up at you from behind several pillars of pancakes that he is busily shoveling into his mouth. "Thiig hiin vuude," He pauses for a second to swallow and finish his thought, "Plenty of pancakes to go around." He then continues cramming as many cakes as possible into his mouth."

You find a seat next to Raven and her far more modest stack of pancakes, that she is poking at with a levitating fork while she is consumed in some kind of magical tome.

"The goodest of mornings to our newest of friends, Lancer. I was told that the making of breakfast was a traditional Earth welcome for such occasions. Are you enjoying the cakes from the pan?" Starfire beams at you.

"Um sure Star. They're great thanks." You take a few bites and flash her a smile.

"Wonderful. I shall now welcome you with the traditional Tamaranean song of welcoming." Starfire opens her mouth for a large inhale to begin singing.

"NOO!" Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven all cry out to interrupt her.

"What we mean is Starfire," Robin walks over to the teenaged alien, clearly thinking of an on the spot explanation, "Lancer probably already feels overly welcomed, and we don't want to overdo it and make him uncomfortable."

"Oh I see," The Tamaranean nods in agreement, "In that case friend Lancer please feel the comfortable level of welcomed." The pair then find their own seats at the table.

You glance over to Raven and quietly ask her what all that was about.

The goth looks up from her book and tells you in very punctuated words, "You do not want to hear Starfire sing," before returning to her reading.

After finishing your plate, you remember that you left Jinx locked up last night before heading to bed. Come to think of it, you think there was something else that happened with Jinx but you don't remember what. Regardless, you're sure it will come to you eventually, but for now it's time to inform everyone of your late night heroics.

"So, I had a busy night last night."

"Did you have trouble sleeping? It took me a while to get comfortable in the Tower." The blonde haired Terra walks in wearing a robe and towel on her head, apparently fresh out of the shower.

"Well kind of, but that's because I was busy capturing Jinx by myself." You gloat, feeling pretty good about yourself.

There's a flourish of responses ranging from a couple of stunned "What?"s to Beast Boy's "Dude no way" and Cyborg spitting out a full carton of Orange Juice.

"You fought Jinx last night and you didn't come get any of us?" Asks Robin, getting up from his seat to address you directly and clearly less impressed then you were hoping for.

"Well it happened quickly and I had it under control. Besides I didn't want to bother any of you." You also get out of your seat to face him.

"Look Lancer. This is a team. We let you join with the expectation that you'd take this seriously and act like a member of the team." The Boy Wonder begins to preach.

"It wasn't a big deal. It wasn't a big fight, and I locked her up. Then I thought everyone could use some sleep and we'd talk about it in the morning. Which is what I'm doing now. See everything is fine." You defend yourself to the Titan's leader.

"That's not the point! You should have let me know immediately!" Robin grows more frustrated with you.

"I get it ok! You're the big man in charge around here and you need to sign off on anything us lesser heroes do!" You bark back at him

"Friends. Let us not fight. Should we not instead go to check up on our foe Jinx?" Starfire flies in front of the two of you.

"She's right. Where did you leave her last night, Lancer?" speaks Cyborg in a more serious tone then you're used to from him.

"Uh. I locked her in the main prison hold."

"To the holds then" a frustrated Robin commands.
