Thoughts
When a person first hears 'Jump City' two things would come to mind, Meta-humans that were villains and the Teen Titans that fought the villains to keep the peace and to protect the citizens of the city. There were five members in all. The team leader, Robin, would be easy to spot in any crowd with the cape, red shirt with an "R" on it and mask. Star fire was an alien she was one of the tallest members with red hair down her back and orange skin she was nice a bit naïve at times though. She usually wore a purple top and matching skirt. Beast boy would blend in easily with in a forest with his green skin. He wore a black and purple suit. Cyborg lived up to his name. He was mostly machine. He had major skills with computers and some skill with vehicles. Last but not lease there was Raven. She hid her emotions but at times, you could tell what she felt. Like my sensei once told me. "The eyes are a mirror to the soul." She usually wore a black leotard and a dark blue cloak. These five heroes fought aliens, meta-humans and demon armies. However, nothing could prepare them for their greatest challenge. I was that challenge, my name is Kaiser, Kai for short, their greatest challenge but I was just the start of it. Now that I think about I can't help but wonder if they knew what would happen would they have left me behind?
It was a quiet night in Jump City except the people who had night shifts at work. The roads were busy with those people heading in. In the Titan tower, Beast boy and Cyborg sat in the main room playing video games. Robin was training. Raven sat on her bed in her room mediating. Starfire stood in front of a window looking out at the city as the moon rose on the other side of it.
"Whose turn is it to cook?" Beast boy asked not stopping playing the game.
"It is mine." Starfire said turning around and heading to the kitchen.
"Oh boy…" Beast boy said.
"Don't worry I have the pizza place on speed dial." Cyborg said
Robin came out to check the security system to see if any trouble was going on. That's when they heard it; A howl that sent chills down their spines and shook the tower. Even Raven stopped what she was doing and looked around.
"Um…by any chance was that someone's stomach?" Beastboy asked hopefully.
Everyone shook their head and he felt his stomach drop.
"I was afraid of that."
Raven came out of her room and looked at her teammates.
"Any idea what that was?" She asked in her usual monotone voice.
"No but it sounded like it came from the park." Cyborg said.
They heard another howl however this one was cut short.
"We're going to find out." Robin said heading out.
Star fire followed by Raven, Beastboy and cyborg.
In the park nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Nothing destroyed; everyone went on as if everything was fine. However, Raven noticed something in the air she looked around getting the attention of the other titans.
"What is it?" Beast boy asked.
"Something was here but it's not here anymore." Raven said looking at them.
"What do you feel?" Robin asked.
"The air is heavy, oppressive, full of hunger and malice."
"What does that mean?" Cyborg asked.
"Whatever was here was strong, evil and hungry."
"Maybe it went to get a pizza." Beastboy said jokingly.
Starfire eyes widen a little and she looked towards the center of the park.
"Do you hear that?" She asked.
"What do you hear?" Robin asked.
"I hear a baby crying."
Robin, Beastboy and Cyborg listened in but didn't hear anything.
"I don't hear anything." Cyborg said.
"Are you sure you're not just hearing things?" Beast boy asked.
Starfire headed towards the center of the park where she was sure she heard the crying coming from. Beastboy and cyborg looked at Robin who shrugged and followed with the others close behind.
In the center Starfire kneeled down and picked up something. She stood back up and walked over to her friends. They gathered around and looked. In her arms was a small baby boy it had turfs of dark brown hair starting to grow. The baby opened it's dark blue eyes and looked at them before looking at Starfire cooing and smiling.
"Seems like he likes you." Raven said looking at the baby.
"Yes it does." Starfire said looking down at the baby smiling.
"Maybe his parents are around here somewhere." Beast boy said looking around.
"Yea they must be worried about him." Cyborg said.
"Alright let's try and find his parents." Robin said.
They split up while Starfire stand in the center holding the baby. A few minutes later they regrouped around Starfire the only one that didn't show back up was Cyborg.
"Any luck?" Robin asked.
Beast boy and Raven shook their heads when Cyborg walked.
"What about you Cy?" Beastboy asked.
"Yea I've found them." He said sadly.
"Where are they?" Robin asked.
Cyborg led them to a small clearing. What they saw horrified them and made them speechless. Starfire held the baby closer to her chest and made sure he couldn't see. The area had deep gash marks. The benches and playground equipment were destroyed. In the middle of it all laid two bodies in a giant pool of blood.
"No way…" Beast boy said looking around.
"How did this happen?" Raven asked.
"Cyborg those bodies are they…" Robin started too asked but was cut off by Cyborg nodding.
"Yea that's them. The man had a picture in his hand of him, the woman and the baby." Cyborg said turning away from the scene.
"What are you going to do now?" a voice asked.
They got ready to fight looking around.
"Show yourself." Robin demanded.
A figure walked out of the shadows he wore a green and white striped bucket hat, wooden clogs, and had a fan covering his lower face and a cane. He studied the titans.
"Who are you?" Robin asked not letting his guard down.
"Just a friend." The man said.
"I meant you're name."
"Urahara at your service." The man said bowing.
"Did you do this?"
Urahara made a face that looked like they hurt him.
"Now does it look like I can cause this much damage?"
"No, but we learned that looks can't be trusted." Raven said.
"Well that's certainly true." Urahara said nodding.
"If you didn't do it. Then who did?" Robin asked
"You don't have to worry about it. I took care of it myself."
"What was it?" Beast boy asked.
"A fallen soul."
"That's all you need to know for now." Urahara said cutting them off before they asked more questions.
"Now I have a question for you all." Urahara said.
"What is that?" Starfire asked.
Urahara pointed his cane at the baby.
"What do you plan on doing with him?"
"What do you mean?"
"If you leave the child here then he will be in danger."
"We'll take him to an orphanage." Robin said.
"Then you'll be putting countless lives at risk."
"I'll raise him." Starfire said.
Robin, Beastboy, Cyborg and Raven looked at her a little shock. Urahara looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What?-!" Beast boy asked.
"I will raise him." Starfire said with determination.
"Are you sure? That child will be a beacon for trouble when he's older." Urahara said watching her reaction.
"I can handle anything." Starfire said looking him in the eyes.
"No." Robin said.
They all turned to look at him as he eyed Starfire and the baby she held.
"She's became attached to the baby that's easy to see." He thought.
He turned to look at Urahara.
"We can handle anything that comes for him." Robin said.
Starfire had a look of relief on her face. She thought Robin was about to tell her to leave the baby. Urahara smirked behind his fan.
"Seems like you all made your decision. I'm sure he's in safe hands."
"Of course he is." Cyborg said.
"Then it's time for me to go. Til the next time we meet Titans." Urahara said walking away.
The titans gathered around Starfire and the baby.
"He needs a name." Raven said.
"You have any ideas?" Beast boy asked looking at Starfire.
She nodded and smiled.
"His name is Kaiser." Starfire said.
"Kaiser huh?" Raven asked looking at the baby.
"That's a good name." Robin said.
"Yea, I'm a little surprised Star came up with it." Beast boy said receiving a hit on the head by Cyborg.
"Welcome to your new family." Starfire said looking at the now named Kaiser.
*eleven years later*
Kaiser sat on the roof talking to a woman his shaggy dark brown hair waved in the gentle wind. She wore a blue business suit her blonde hair went to her shoulders what Kaiser found strange was the chain she had coming out of her chest. She sat next to Kaiser as they talked. When he heard the door open. He turned to look and saw a muscular beast boy walk out to the roof.
"Hey Kai it's almost time to eat." He said to the boy.
"Alright." Kaiser said.
"Who were you talking to up here?" Beastboy asked.
"I was talking to Elena." Kaiser said looking at the blonde hair woman.
"Don't you think you're a little too old for imaginary friends?"
"She's not though." Kaiser said looking at Beastboy.
"It's alright Kaiser. You're the only one that can see me." The woman said looking at Kaiser.
Kaiser looked over at her.
"Why am I the only one that can see you?" Kaiser asked her.
"You're special in ways not even the Titans are." She said smiling at him.
"Really?"
"Yes, you are, now go and eat before they start worrying."
Kaiser nodded and walked back inside Beastboy watched him walk in and looked where he was. He then shrugged and followed Kaiser inside.
After dinner the Titans were sitting in the main room while Kaiser was in his room. Starfire, who was seven months pregnant, sat with Robin, over the years he changed his outfit to look like batman's without the mask and cape on his chest was a dark blue bird, talking about possible baby names. Raven sat reading a book while Beastboy was playing a game with Cyborg when he decided it was a good time to talk to the others about Kaiser. He paused the game to Cyborg's disappointment.
"Hey why did you do that? Afraid you'll lose again?" Cyborg asked looking at him.
"No I need to talk to you all about Kaiser." He said getting everyone's attention.
Robin and Starfire stopped talking, Raven looked up from the book she was reading and Cyborg didn't bug him about pausing the game.
"What about him?" Starfire asked worriedly.
"I think something is wrong with him." Beastboy said.
"Why do you say that?" Robin asked.
"When I went to get him before we ate he was talking to a woman named Elena. I couldn't see her but he could."
"So he still has imaginary friends?" Cyborg asked.
"What if that's not it at all." Raven said getting their attention.
"What do you mean?" Starfire asked.
"What if he isn't seeing imaginary friends? It maybe something else."
"What else could it be?" Beastboy asked.
"Spirits." Raven said casually.
"So you're saying Kai can see dead people?" Cyborg asked.
Raven just nodded at them.
"We knew he was special but not how. Maybe he seeing spirits is what makes him special."
"Now you mention it Raven that would explain how he knew where that missing girl was when he was 6 even though he never seen her or been there before." Robin said.
"And how he knew the T-car would catch fire even though he was nowhere near it." Cyborg said.
"Also the power that comes from him." Raven said.
"What power?" Starfire asked.
"Sometimes a power quickly appears from him but then vanishes just as fast as it appeared. I didn't give it any thought until now." Raven explained.
Starfire stood up.
"I'm going to talk to him." She said walking to his room.
The others watched her walk way. Robin wanted to follow; He couldn't help but see Kaiser as a son since the boy first arrived. But he stayed there watching Starfire walk down the hall.
Starfire knocked on a door and opened it to reveal Kaiser sitting on his bed crossed leg reading some comic books Beastboy and Cyborg got him. He looked up at her.
"What is it mom?" He asked.
She smiled at him as she sat on his bed next to him. They told him she wasn't his real mom when he was eight but to her joy and relief and everyone else's he didn't care. No matter what Starfire would always be his mom.
"Beastboy brought up something about you." She said to him.
"What was it?" Kaiser asked.
"He said something about you talking to a woman named Elena. Is she you're imaginary friend?"
Kaiser shook his head.
"What is she then?"
"She's a ghost."
"A ghost? As in spirit?"
Kaiser nodded.
"So friend Raven was right." Starfire thought.
"What am I supposed to do mom?" Kaiser asked.
The question caught her off guard, she looked at him, and when she did, she felt her heart sink. In Kaiser's eyes was fear. She pulled him close and into a hug.
"Use your gift for good." She said to him.
"How do I do that?"
"Help the spirits find peace."
Kaiser understood a little of what his mom was saying.
"Alright mom I will."
"That's my son." She said proudly and hugging him harder.
"Mom…my ribs…" He managed to say.
She let go and he fell onto his back in his bed. Starfire started to panic while he tried to calm her down. It was a normal night for Kaiser and the Titans.
At the same time a man, Urahara, stood in the park where he met the titans. He looked up at the sky in thought.
"That boy, Kaiser, sure has some powerful spirit pressure to attract big guys like you." He said.
A giant shadow walked towards him. Soon a giant creature with a black body a white mask shaped like a tragic play mask on its face and a hole in its chest walked up to him and stopped. Urahara looked at it and sighed.
"Well you're the first one tonight huh? Well then." He said pulling out a small blade from his cane.
"Let's get this over with."
The creature roared and lunged at him.
"I get the feeling this is the start of a long night." Urahara thought as he got ready to strike.
Kaiser: How is it going everyone? My mom sent me overseas to Karakura because she thought I would be safe. WRONG! I only been here three days and a giant monster is looking at me as if I'm its dinner! Wait a second hey strawberry hair guy any chance of letting me borrow that sword?
