Disclaimer: I don-t own any of the characters currently used in the fic, or the creative world they originate from. I-m not worth suing since I am really dirt poor, living in a third world country kind of poor. Don't plagiarize please.
Author's Note: well people, I really love crossovers, and this one ticled my fancy (who says THAT anymore?) I really hope you like it people.
Feeling Numb:
Chapter 1: Unlucky Serendipity
He sighed, tired and weary beyond his years, weary beyond what most mortal men could survive, but he was no mere mortal man. No, he was a Hibiki, the perpetual victim, the forever lost boy. He placed one foot in front of the other, without any true direction or purpose, the same way he had moved through most of his life. He was like an overgrown ruin whispering of days past, and yet he was all of 16 years old.
rumble -and he was extremely hungry-
'what would I give for some food' ryouga thought somewhat wryly, 'I wonder where I am now, looks pretty familiar' now this didn't usually meant that much, since ryouga had probably one of the few human beings to ever have visited every place on earth at least once before.
This time however something made him believe that he had passed by this particular place many times before 'kinda feels like how I feel when I'm near Nerima, but not quite…'
Try as he might, the little alarm in his brain trying wouldn't go away. Something was important about this place. Finally he looked up and tried to see what was it that might have called his attention.
There was a walled up property right his left, with high white walls, and a very solid looking wooden door, with a little mailbox stuck right beside it, and a wooden plaque above it, giving the name of the family that lived there. It took him a second to absorb what it said though, 'hmm… wait a second…wait a second!'
Ryouga looked up again, not quite believing his eyes.
-The Hibiki Residence-
"wooooow…. I can't believe I, I found it again" suddenly the day got a little brighter, as memories of better days long gone found him again. And he took out a key he always carried hidden on his person, opened the door, and went right in.

In the Teen Titans Universe (cartoon version)
(The Hive have currently taken over the titan tower)
The room was dark. That summed up Jinx's thoughts. It was dark, and depressing but it did have some interesting little tidbits here and there, "hmmm nice mirror, bit on the tacky side though". She looked at how the cloak she'd taken from the closet looked on her, "Does she have anything that's not blue?"
She should have simply been satisfied with this level of invasion of privacy, and that is the way the time line had originally forseen it. She would have left the room, but Jinx in her very nature defied odds and fate. Her powers over her Luck and probability gave her a certain amount of freedom not normally seen. Because of this, instead of simply leaving, she gave one final glance around to make sure she hadn't missed anything, and with that little difference, the world changed.
"hmmmm… well what do we have here?" the objects of her interest were Raven's collection of esoterical books, which had been hidden in the shadows.
'god, this girl takes gothy deco to another level,' she skimmed through one first, then another, simply looking to see if there were any cool pictures, or interesting 'yeah right' nugget of information. Titles such as 'Mogdern's compendium of most potente potions' and 'the Annotated Dictionary of Demons of the lower orders' were picked up, skimmed through and quickly discarded.
This kept on going for a few minutes till she came upon a leather bound book. Now she'd passed other leather bound books, but this one was… different. Frankly it was giving Jinx a really weird vibe, so obviously she opened it. The pages were actually made of lighter, thinner pieces of leather, and the writing on it was in some weird language, what caught Jinx's eye though was the little slip of paper that was in the book. Apparently it was a translation of the page.
… This incantation of unknown origin is truly unique in the sense that it apparently does not call upon any kind of external spirit, deity, or conventional force of nature within any of the middle realms. This is a truly powerful spell in it's own right, that calls upon a great yet until now unknown kind of force tobreak through to not only other realities, but even other multiverses. It does not require great amount of ritual, merely a clear picure of the target to be transported and a defined set of requirements for the place of arrival.
It goes as such:
vegh jaghpu' vegh jIH
vegh pagh tlhap jIH
Daq pegh cha' jIH vIt
'hmmm…. So wait, all you have to do is say that to send someone anywhere! Hmm might come in handy' jinx took the translation and stuffed it under her sleeve; after all she reasoned, that's where aces are supposed to be. Feeling satisfied, she left the room to go see what her teammates where doing.
Finally, the titans had gotten out of their funk and were getting their home back! After confronting the hive gang, the titans had learned their lessons and where playing to their own strengths, and not allowing their enemies to exploit their weaknesses.
"Attack Pattern Alpha!" screamed Jinx, as the battle was joined. Gizmo and Mammoth scattered while she threw a spell. The Titans scrambled to avoid it; when it hit the rooftop, a panel exploded. Beast Boy came down from his jump only to find Mammoth coming straight at him. He jumped away again and turned into a hawk as the giant slamed his fist down on the roof and sent a shock wave toward Cyborg. Jinx landed behind Cyborg and vaulted high over his shoulders, hurling a spell down at him as she sailed through the air. It knocked out the base of a water tank and caused the whole thing to topple toward Cyborg, who got out of the way just in time before a second tank collapsed nearby.
In those milliseconds between thought and action, ideas gain speed, especially in a fight. Jinx was thoroughly exploiting this to weigh her options, 'hmm… wonder if I should use my new little trick? Nahhh, I'll use it as a final surprise'.
Starfire was in midair, throwing Tamaranean bolts at Jinx who nimbly dodged them and ducked out of sight. Starfire suddenly shouted out the signal for her teammate "Beast Boy! Go!"
Flipping Starfire a hand sign to acknowledge, he dived from his perch and transformed into a monkey to come down squarely on the face of the fleeing girl. She had made her way into a framework of pipes. Unable to see, she fired spells in all directions in an attempt to get him off; finally she yanked him off, and threw him across the roof. He reverted to human form before touching down, to make the classical hero's pun-ny taunt "Your luck just ran out!" as the piping above her groans and suddenly falls on her.
Starfire had gone to the aid of her other friends. She fired a star bolt at Mammoth. The hit left him spinning in the air as Robin dashed over. One mighty flying kick drove him back into Gizmo and Jinx and left all three in a weary, groaning pile.
Now Jinx was finally shaking off enough of her butt kicking to analyze the situation and came to the conclusion that they had basically lost. 'crap!' she looked around desperately, trying to come up with a way to escape. Seeing Raven sparked a memory in her head, and she suddenly grinned.
"well teen twerps, you think you beat us? Well I got a surprise for all of you" with that she took out the page and read the incantation. Raven's eyes widened in shock as she realized exactly what Jinx was up to. "NO!" she uttered with more emotion than anyone on earth had heard of her ever before as she tried to reach for jinx to stop her from finishing.
The bad news is she was too late to stop Jinx, but fortunately for the titans, her exclamation surprised jinx enough that she miss spoke a part of the magical phrase. Instead of sending the Titans into a parallel universe, she inadvertently ripped through to another multiverse, and connected their dimension with an artifact of inmense power that had lain dormant for millennia. A gateway was now open between both worlds.
In the Teen Titans' point of view the spell simply fizzled out and the HIVE gang was taken into custody. Only Raven had felt the great discharge of energy, and not even she knew exactly what had happened.
People, if you like or hate it, please tell me. I'm really looking for some criticism (hopefully constructive). anyway, here we are. My first chapter of my second fanfic. I'd have to say though that Little Boy Lost has a better start (go read it ppl, you'll like it.. I think).
