So, this is a new story I've been thinking about for a while now, and I think I'll start writing on it. But first, I must explain the world that our heroes live in, otherwise you'll just be confused reading this. SO PLEASE READ THIS PART IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY.
First off, we're not living in our timeline, but rather that of the Avatar's. Extremely early in time basically. In this world, all abilities are called arks. Arks are a magical blood cell that courses through the bodies of most citizens, heroes, and villains alike. Then there are the benders. Those are the ones who don't have Ark blood cells, but some form of mutated genes. The benders by the way, are the heroes in Avatar: The Last Airbender. So this is a list of the powers you will read about.
Beastboy - Animal shape-shifting
[He can turn into any animal or creature he pleases. He can also summon green spirit animals to protect him, or help him fight in combat. They can shoot lasers, and is 10x stronger than their real life counterpart. He can use the power of these animals to power normal attacks and strengths such as durability and speed. Unfortunately, his skin is permanently green.]
Raven - Dark/Black Magic
[This magic is not only forbidden, but is extremely loathed in the society they live in, mainly because of how devastating it is. No one has actually seen it in thousands of years.]
Starfire - Plasma magic
[Unkown to our world]
Cyborg - Cybernetic magic
[Some children are born with bionics, and some are given some over time. Cyborg is a mixture of both. Since birth, he always had one eye that was robotic. With this eye, he could shoot a laser beam, see through walls, and make advance calculations faster than any normal human being.]
Robin - Black cloud magic
[He can disappear in puffs of smoke in just a split second. With this, comes a form of knowledge, as it grants him the ability to learn any language in just one sentence of hearing it. Also, he can use the smoke to attack those around him, as he can turn it's temperature to the heat of the sun at will.]
Miss Martian - Shape shifting
[Just like her brother, she can transform into anything she wants except animals. She is also granted some form of telekinesis and mind reading]
Mark Logan(Beastboy's father) - Animal Shape-shifting
Marie Logan(Beastboy's mother) - Telekinesis/Mind reading
Bruce Wayne(Robin's father) - Black cloud magic
TTTTTTT
So those are all the Arks of heroes. Bending however works the same way as it has in the show/anime. Now onto the ages.
Cyborg: 15
Robin: 14
Starfire: 14
Raven: 13
Beastboy: 13
Miss Martian: 18
Aang: 112 (Technically 12)
Katara: 13
Sokka: 15
Toph: 12 (Almost 13)
With all that out of the way, lets get into the actual story.
Part I - Pilot
The gemstone lies in peak of just a small basket. Anyone could grab it and run off without anyone knowing it was him or her. But Beastboy knew better. He had to be precise, and wise about how he approached this magnificent object that shined beautifully in the sunlight. The amount of money he would have started to get to his head, making him drool intensely. So he sucked it up, and prepared himself to make his big hit. In blur, he took the gem, and ran off at top speed. The clerk looked up, but didn't bat an eye. She knew who it was.
"Finally!" Beastboy thought to himself. He never thought he would see the day where he was finally successful, finally good at something, no matter how cheap of the fact that it was stealing. But just as he was about to cut the next corner and crashed into something huge. He went flying back on the impact, nearly knocking him out. He looked up to see the knight in shiny black amor, The Batman. "Garfield," he scolded. "Just how many times will I have to tell your mother about stealing?"
"Whaaaat? Me steal? No way," Beastboy said, feigning ignorance. The dark night sighed, before picking him up by the back of his shirt and teleporting him back to the stand he stole the precious jewel. "Drop it," the Dark Knight said in a menacing voice that Beastboy found unnecessary. "Shesh, I would've dropped it anyway," he thought to himself.
He dropped the gem on the table, and prepared to be teleported again. "Sorry Mrs. Snow," he said dryly, as if it were routine. The lady didn't even look at him. "You'll be back next week," She said.
Beastboy grinned and replied,"ya damn skippy."
The Dark Knight teleported them away, leaving a small cloud of black smoke in their wake.
TTTTTT
Arriving to the Logan residence, just outside the small village he lived around, Beastboy was dropped on his butt by the Knight himself. Garfield wasn't really all that bothered, as he'd been through it enough times already. If his numbers were correct, this would be his 76th time being caught. It didn't effect him much really.
He knew who the Dark Knight was. He was Bruce Wayne, the richest man in their village. His identity was a family secret on Garfield's mother's side of the family. Not so much of his father, but they all knew nonetheless. Garfield didn't know the Dark Knight or Bruce Wayne all that well, but he knew his son, Robin. He and Robin used to be best friends when they were younger. But unfortunately, they drifted apart when they started to share different morals on life. Beastboy was happy-go-lucky and voluntarily naïve. He viewed that the world and life itself was too small, and too short to waiste. So no matter how wrong, or publicly unexcepted, he would make the most out of the life he had, usually being as wild as an animal, and causing the most ruckus in his village.
Robin however, was smart, and peaceful. He viewed that the world and life moved way too fast, and could be lost very quickly if not careful. He would talk to people with his words, and not his fist, no matter how skilled he was in the latter. He would fight though, if it meant saving a life and protecting it. But he would never ever kill. All life has value in his eyes.
Lost in thought, Beastboy looked up to see his mother's head poking out the front door. He have a wave and a bright smile at the sight of her. She was about to return the gesture,. But she soon noticed the Dark Knight standing right next to him with his arms folded. She scowled him, and signaled for them to come inside, already aware of what the problem was, as she was too used to it.
R and R.
Very short chapter, but I always leave my first chapter short to see who is interested, and if it'll do good. So expect later chapters to be way longer than this.
