Part 1
It was a relatively boring day in the Titans Tower. The power had been turned off, so they were playing hide-in-seek (in an attempt to find something not-too-boring for them to do), and Raven was it.
She'd easily found Beast Boy and Starfire, and she was trying not to use her powers to find Robin or Cyborg, when suddenly the shadows condensed, and a small pale kid with messy pitch black hair. He swayed, before steadying himself. He looked at her.
"Am I in China?" He asked, and Raven stepped back, surprised. "I swear, this had better not be China, because if I am-" He stopped, and sent a glare at the air. "I didn't ask you!" Raven took another step away from the strange boy, but he focused on her. "Am I in China?"
"No..." She said. "Why would you think that?"
"Thank the gods." He said. "I end up there sometimes on accident." He glanced at Raven. "Don't ask." He looked back up at the air. "Well she speaks english, which means we're either in the States or England, or possibly Canada, but it's too bright outside to be Canada-
"It's not frecking summer!" The kid narrowed his eyes. "And she doesn't have that wierd accent british people have, so I'm guessing we're in the States." He rolled his eyes, before looking back at her. "Are we in the States?"
"Yea." Raven said dryly in an attempt to hide her emotions. "Why wouldn't you be?"
"I accidentally Shadow Travel to China sometimes." The kid said. "So, where in the States are we? I need to know in order to get home."
"Jump City, California." Raven told him. "Where is this home of yours?"
"Around." The kid said vaguely. "Hey, who's your dad? Sorry if that sounded awkard, but, without the whole gem on your forehead and the purple hair, we could be siblings."
"Trigon, conqurer of worlds." Raven said bitterly, and, to her surprise, the kid laughed.
"He couldn't be worse than hell itself." He said. "And I've been there. Listen, um.. Whatever-your-name is-"
"Raven." She said.
"Yea, Raven." He said, looking a little embarressed. "My names Nico. Nico di Angelo, you need help, call me."
"I don't have your number." Raven said.
"Right." Nico said. "Well, I don't have a phone." He handed her a golden coin with an eagle on one side, and the Empire State Building on the other side. "Make a rainbow, and say 'oh, Iris, goddess of the rainbow show me' then you'd say my name, 'Nico di Angelo, whereever he may be'."
"Thanks." Raven said. "What what's with the mythology reference?"
"Family thing." Nico said. "You'd fit in with them. Probably. Anyways, I've got to go." He waved, and turned away from her. "By the way, who'd the half-robot who just came down the hall?" He motioned with his hand, and Raven turned around.
"Cyborg!" She said, and when she turned around Nico di Angelo was gone.
