I mean, yeah, I suppose that getting inside the headquarters of a superhero team unannounced would look really bad, especially considering the fact that none of the people involved in the event knew the person responsible for said event. See where I going with this? I mean, I suppose I should have seen it coming. How it happened? Well, to begin with they should probably have a better security system, or at least make it so it would activate even with an open window. Yeah, that surprised me too. I mean, the whole ‘leaving the window open’. I think you guys already know who did it. So imagine my surprise when I arrive at the lone island, home of the superhero team known as Teen Titans. By the way, do you have any idea how inconvenient it can be for people who cannot fly? Anyway, there I was, in front of the main door as I watched the enormity of the place. If Rainbow were there she would have made the Shrek joke at seeing the place, I mean, who needs that much space? I have seen the lab of my Iron Heart counterpart and not even she had such a big space, even considering how much of a multimillionaire that Sunset is. Anyway, I was right there at the door and after pressing the buzzer I stayed there waiting to see if anyone would answer, but after several minutes there was nothing, not even a Mexican maid saying that Mister Griffin isn’t there. So what’s a girl supposed to do? I climbed the tower becoming a literal spider girl. I truly need to thank Rarity and Twilight’s help on the suit, it is just so perfect at letting me use my sticking powers, well, not sticking, but you understand. Can you imagine my surprise when I found out that there was an open window? Apparently someone was a little too lax with tier security. Once I got inside I found such a beautiful open living room, with plush coaches and beanbags, probably the greatest home entertainment setup I have ever seen, all in a modern, clean style that was a pleasure to see. I don’t know who is backing them up, but damn, they have money! Also, I need to get a kitchen like the one these guys have, I swear Pinkie and Fluttershy would love to make something on one like this for our parties. It was also at this moment when I watched someone walk into the kitchen. He had risen from one of the couches and he looked either really young or it was extremely skinny because I swear he looked even smaller than Pipsqueak. The one thing that was truly remarkable of him, beyond the elfin-like ears that he had, was the green skin he had, it almost reminded me of ponies back on Equestria. Just looking at him walking almost like a zombie in the direction of the kitchen told me everything I had to know about who exactly left the window open. I then decided to take pity on the poor guy and looked for a glass on the cabinets until I finally found a glass. Then I opened the fridge and found a carton of milk. Placing the milk glass in front of him seemed to make him react a little bit since he quickly took the glass and with one move he basically chugged the whole thing. Then he began to blink the sleepiness away and turned his head on my direction. “Thank you Star, you are the best.” “I’m not Star, but thank you,” It was almost hilarious the way his eyes went from barely slits to half the size of his head. I suppose on hindsight that he screamed in surprise after seeing me on his kitchen was pretty normal behavior, which then of course led to the rest of his team arrive at the kitchen “ah, I come in peace?” Safe to say they were not amused. 15 minutes later. Although, the way they were glued to the walls and ceiling due to my web was also hilarious. From the glare that their apparent leader was throwing at me to the curious and a little scared looks of the two other boys of the team, the almost bored look on the girl that made me think of Princess Twilight for some reason and the… relaxed and the curious looks being send on my direction by the orange hued girl; all those were entertaining in their own way. “So, is it a little late to ask if we can all be friends? I mean, I even have a friendship speech prepared and all,” the way the orange girl’s eyes opened up made me remember Fluttershy any time she saw a puppy.
