"Titans, GO!" The five Teen Titans surrounded the glowing teenager, the apparent cause of the destruction.
"You got the wrong guy. I didn't do this." The teenager was in the air, a green glow surrounding him.
"Something exploded, and in the middle of the crater is a glowing kid. Where did I go wrong?"
The newcomer glared at Robin, his eyes a bright green.
"I didn't do this. Some dude in a white and black armor did. Said something 'bout light and illumination, I don't fucking know, but you make a move against me and you'll regret it."
The Titans stopped, standing in a circle around the new teenager. Starfire and Raven were in the air; Robin, Cyborg, and Beastboy were on the ground, ready for anything.
"You're saying Doctor Light did this?"
"That his name? I was just minding my own business and next thing I know, the wall is coming down and people were screaming."
"Well, where are the screaming civilians?"
The newcomer pointed behind him to where a crowd of people were being checked out by paramedics.
"Alright then, answer me this: Who are you?"
Starfire and Raven landed and the Titans relaxed slightly, except for Robin, who kept a firm grip on his staff.
"Name's Jason."
Robin nodded and went to say more when a cop called him over.
"Stay here." With that Robin jogged over to the police officer as the other Titans watched. It seemed most of the rescue job was done already, Jason having taken care of things. The newcomer was off to the side, sitting on the edge of the crater, as the Titans helped with the hurt.
Once all the civilians were taken care of, the Titans formed up again, Robin walking towards Jason.
"Most of the civilians backed up your story, but you got to understand it's too big a risk to have someone with powers running around without knowing them. So, how about you come back to the Tower for a while?"
Jason floated into the air, his green aura darkening slightly.
"No thanks. I know where I'm not wanted."
"That wasn't an offer. I want to trust you Jason, but you got to see it from my position. We don't know how powerful you are, and I won't endanger the people of Jump by letting a loose cannon run around with no idea about him."
"And you're an idiot if you think you can force me to go."
The Titans slowly circled around the floating teenager.
"I don't want to fight you Jason, but we will take you in. It's either jail or the Tower, until we know more about you."
"So this is how you treat decent people, just 'cause I got powers?" His hands snapped up, two energy pistols appearing in them. "You want to take me in, you're gonna have to work for it." With that he shot into the air, blasting away at the Titans.
"Titans, Go!" Starfire and Raven took off after him, Starfire trading energy blasts with the newcomer. Beastboy transformed into a pterodactyl and Cyborg jumped on his back, blasting away with his sonic cannon.
"Please surrender, we only wish to help!"
"Bullshit." Jason stopped in mid air, tracking a shot before blasting Starfire in the head. The alien girl was stunned by the shot and started falling, only to be caught by Raven.
"You ok Star?"
"Yes friend, but he is very strong." Raven nodded as Starfire cleared her head, the two girls watching as Jason and Beastboy, along with Cyborg, fought in the sky.
"Yea, booyah!" Cyborg blasted at the darting green figure, his sonic blaster tracking after him. Every shot hit a dark green bubble.
"Look, I don't want to fight you guys. Just back off!" Jason's guns disappeared, only to be replaced by a rifle and several fighter jet energy constructs.
"You ready BB?" The transformed teen roared. "I'll take that for a 'yes'. Let's do this!" The two friends charged forward, blasting through the constructs. Meanwhile, Raven and Starfire had jumped back into the fight, Starfire blasting at Jason as Raven threw objects at him. The glow around the teenager was slowly being leeched of its green color until he had enough.
"Alright, fuck this!" Taking a deep breath, Jason let out a burst of red energy, smashing into all the Titans in the air. The Titans tried to cope with the energy, but Beastboy spun, losing Cyborg; Starfire, still a little woozy, lost balance and plummeted, along with a now human Beastboy. Raven dived to try and catch them, but she didn't make it in time.
Only they never hit the ground. They all slammed into a thick bright green mattress, saving them from a messy fall.
"Dude, what just happened?"
"I believe we received the whooping of butt." The four looked up to see the red energy trail left by the retreating teenager.
"You guys ok?"
"Way to go Boy Wonder, piss off a guy who did nothing but help people."
"Listen, I don't know him, none of us do. I'm not going to have a loose cannon with that much power running around the city without knowing him. What if he's Slade's new apprentice or something?"
"Rob man, even I think that's a weak excuse. You're just paranoid dawg and don't like it when people with powers are running around in Jump without your say so." Robin glared, but didn't argue.
"Please friends, let us not argue; the people are safe. Let us return to our home and partake in dinner."
"Ok Star. Titans, head home and keep an eye on the sky." The others nodded, Starfire jumping on back of the R-cycle, while Raven and Beastboy piled in the back seat of the T-car.
