About My Life
Andrew "Black" White Johnson
I'm not too proud of my name, but I can say it out loud. I'm Andrew "Black" ,White Johnson. Yeah, get your laughs out of the way.
I have one sister and one brother: Ely and Carlisle (or Crow). I have a mother and a father who loved each other unconditionally.
I am 22 now. But not everything in my early years were the same as now.
Things don't get complicated in my life until my dad suddenly changed. Before you know it, I just couldn't see my fun-loving dad in the monster he was then.
By that time Carlisle's (Crow's) wings came out, and mine started to come too. I had to do that on my own instead of dad helping me, and believe me, that was painful.
Everything seemed to be getting worse when Crow suddenly started to challenge my dad. Of course my dad won. I suppose that was when I was at least 15.
Crow snapped my right wrist in the process and left the house. My dad grabbed me by it (good parenting) and started to heal it out of place. I didn't know until I found out that I couldn't grip anything as hard anymore.
I look back and think," how did I take 2 more YEARS of this?!" But unfortunately I did spend those years in that house.
I left before my seventeenth birthday thank goodness. I didn't know where to go or why I waited that long to do what Crow had done.
I knew I had to do something while I was still in Jump City. I also needed help with my soul. (You could say I was soul searching).
I started to look for a big group of the same people who could help me.
That was when I decided to get in touch with one of the TeenTitans. Her name is Starfire. I actually got a hold of her myspace address and we started talking. I told her about (some of) my family.
Mostly about whom I was and that I have powers that could probably help her team. After that comment, Starfire wanted to see me in person. That got me pretty nervous. But I wanted to see her too. They could be the people who can be able to help me control all of this.
Well, now I needed to know what to wear.
I guess you can say that wearing any white was absolutely out of my character;
my path, my life, and even my powers were anything but white.
I saw nothing but a pitch black horizon…
I'm sure that Starfire was going to invite me to their tower, and that wasn't something I was never prepared for anytime soon.
But she still insists and I try not to refuse because I think that this is what I want, and I can't be scared of my new partners in justice.
Corny I know. But for the long run, worth it to stay in it.
I decide on the last minute to wear my full-black outfit. It just seemed more like "me." The only problem that I faced when I got there was how the hell am I supposed to cross the bay?!
I hated taking out my wings. It makes me look more like HIM. More like my now demented dad. Seeing no other choice, I started to take them out when good ol' Starfire comes to take me over herself flying pretty fast to where I was standing.
Relieved, I held her hand tight, and she effortlessly flew us both toward Titan's Tower.
The tower itself was a giant intimidation! I mean, looking at one of the five or so titans was nearly intimidating enough, but THIS piece of work?
Ten stories of teen crime-fighting justice. And by the looks of it, possibly years worth of experience. My hand just began to go numb.
What was I doing here? I felt more and more nervous as Starfire flew closer and closer to the T structure that would either reject or accept me, and I was about to turn tail and run.
When we got there I started to make excuse after excuse in my head to see if I could get away from the, well, greatness in front of me;
I was seriously nervous to see Jump's finest superheroes even looking at me. But nothing I thought of could be a good excuse to bail, so I kept following.
I didn't understand why I felt this way. I mean this morning I was ready to see them.
I thought I would meet them and maybe they could help me. But now after I saw all THIS, it was probably because I noticed;
they were serious.
They seriously felt strongly about fighting crime to protect people, and for that moment, I wasn't sure that I could make the commitment.
Well, whether or not I could, I would have to decide quick in front of my new partners and roommates if things went well.
That is my first chapter, I hope you enjoied.
Read and review!
