I no own Teen Titans me sad :(
Noah crouched behind the bush, watching the deer eat the berries that grew
from the shrubbery. Its mouth opened and closed as it chewed on the purple
fruit. He steadied his bow on the target, and he was ready to let the arrow go
when the memories came flooding back.
"Noah!"
"Mom!"
Noah could still hear the screams, and he could still remember them too.
"Everyone remain calm!" the flight attendant ordered.
"Dad!" his father screamed seeming so far away.
All the way on the other side of the plane Noah sat breathing, or at least trying
to breath, wrapped in his mother's arms crying on her shoulder.
"Mom what if...if dad...what if dad di...dies!" the six year old wailed.
"Noah calm down, we'll all be okay, and then we'll go home and we can get
some ice cream," his mom said rubbing his hair.
Ice cream was pretty yummy, and it did sound good, so Noah decided to be a
good boy and sit quietly.
He felt a sudden jolt and wound up holding tightly to the seat-belt strap before
staring into his mother's eyes and begging for reassurance.
He buried his head in his mother's bosom before the plane jolted once again,
and started losing power.
"Were going down! There's something wrong with the plane were all doomed!"
someone screamed.
"Mom, we'll still be okay right?" Noah asked starring into his mothers warm eyes.
"I love you Noah, so does your daddy," was all she said for an answer, and
though Noah was only six at the time he still knew that something was wrong.
And he was right. The plane fell to the ground at an alarming speed. Noah
grabbed his mom's hand in his sweaty little palm and closed his eyes. Mentally
both he and his mother were preparing themselves for death, only one of them
needn't not do so.
The plane hit the ground with a large jolt, and then and there Noah felt his
mother take her last breathe.
He tried to stand up, but he felt the glass shard from the window in his leg. The
pain rushed through him, and being only six it was the worst pain ever!
He shook his moms arm.
"Mom, mom wake up! Mom! Wake up! Mom! WAKE UP!" he screamed tears
dripping down his young cheek. He ran to the other side of the plane and he did
the same thing with his dad, but he had lost him too. He had lost everyone.
He closed his eyes remembering the pain, not the pain in his eye, arm. and leg , the real pain.
He felt the pain of death, the pain of losing.
He still felt this pain every day.
He aimed the arrow to take the deer's life away, but remembering the pain he
couldn't bring himself to do it, he couldn't bring himself to kill.
He wondered what to do with himself, where to go. Now that he'd left his
mentor Onyx he was on his own.
He focused on the far away building and walked closer to it. 'Titan's Tower here
I come,' he thought.
-Later At Titans Tower-
He stared at Jump City and it made him miss his old home, not that he could
ever go back. He used to live in Litchfield Connecticut before...the accident.
After thinking for awhile he finally got up the nerve to approach the tower, but
should he just knock on the door?
How do you just walk up to the Titans and ask them if you can join their team?
You can't its unnatural.
But that's exactly what he did.
'Knock Knock'
"Hello?" a pale mage asked opening the door.
"Hello Raven, I'm a huge fan of yours, and can I join the team?"
It came out different then he'd expected, he sounded like an idiot. It came out
like that, mostly due to the fact that he talked fast in a desperate attempt to get
this over with.
"What?" Rae gasped.
"Robin come here!" she called.
"What is it?" the boy wonder questioned.
"Him," she said pointing at the short boy with the cut brown hair.
"Who are you?" Rob asked.
"Name's Noah Rhodes, but you can call me Archer. I'd like to join your
team," he shot out trying to play it cool.
"What? You can't just show..." Robin began only to be cut off.
"Fine, I get it," Noah mumbled beginning to walk away.
"Wait! If you train with us maybe you can," Rob said with a smile.
Noah returned that smile, and a little bit of hope spread through his heart,
actually not a little bit, a lot! He was quite certain that he would be accepted on
to the team, actually positive.
-One Month Later-
"Shall we get the pizza of pepperoni?" Star asked.
"Sounds good," Noah said with a smile.
"Hello, pepperoni? I'm a vegetarian!" Beast Boy whined.
"So pepperoni sounds good!" Cyborg said purposefully ignoring BB.
"Yeah great," Noah replied smiling.
He had friends again, and things were great, no perfect, because he not only
had friends, he had a family.
There will be a sequel to this story
