Chapter 1: Meeting the Titans
A/N: This is my first story. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans, Beast-Boy and Raven would be dating right now!
Pain. All I could feel was pain. I was wet-never a good thing. Itried to move but couldn't. Suddenly I was lifted up. I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She had short straight violet hair and amethyst eyes. Her skin was pale-grey even. I stared until a blanket of unconsciousness swept over me, relieving me from my pain.
Next thing I knew I was laying on something soft. I could feel all these thingsattached to me. I heard a beeping sound…beep…beep. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in some kind of infirmary. I was hooked up to a heart monitor-So that's what was making that beeping sound I thought- and a bunch of IV tubes. I sat up slowly to see that girl watching me carefully. She wore a black leotard with long sleeves and a belt of rubies held together by thin strips of pure gold. On top of it was a blue cloak with a clasp made a similar way to her belt-a ruby surrounded in gold. I stared in awe. "You're awake," she said. Her voice had a raspy tone. "We were beginning to worry about you."
What's going on? "OK, where am I how did I get here what am I doing here who are you and what do mean we?" questions tumbled out of my mouth.
"I found you soaking and unconscious on the beach and brought you here, to Titans Tower," she replied.
The beach! No wonder I was wet! I thought. "And I have some questions of my own for you," she continued "Such as-who are you? I mean, a boy with sapphire coloured eyes and messy hair to match wearing rags for clothes doesn't wash up on our beach every day."
"I'm Kai. All I know is my name and my powers," I replied.
"Powers…?" she said. She pulled a yellow circular device out her pocket and said, "Raven calling Robin, do you read me?"
"What is it Raven?" I hear a male voice coming from the communicating device.
"He's awake, and apparently he has powers."
"I'll be right up. Robin out,"
She put down the device. "I'm Raven by the way," she said.
Her eyes caught the light and shone. I could only stare at her. I don't know how long I made myself look like a total goofball before a boy who must've been Robin came in. He had black spiky hair and a black eye mask. He had a red shirt with short green sleeves and a black circle with the letter 'R' in it on the left side of his chest. He had green gloves that came up to his elbows and green pant with black steel toed boots. He wore a golden utility belt across his waist and a cape that was black on the outside and yellow on the inside. He walked over to me. "I'm Robin, leader of the Teen Titans," he said.
"Kai," I introduced myself.
"So, what's your super power?" he asked.
"I can control and create fire and lava," I told him.
He asked me where I came from. Raven told him I didn't remember anything but my name and my powers. Robin said he had to back to his research and for Raven to leave too so that I could get some rest. I didn't want her to leave, but decided not to argue.
A week later Robin came in and said I was well enough to walk but that he didn't want me to leave the tower. "Beast-Boy will give you a tour. BEAST-BOY!" he called.
A boy about my age ran in. He had lime green skin, forest green hair and emerald eyes(why is everyone-including me-relating gems to eye colours today? I thought). He had pointy ears and fangs, one of them sticking out of his mouth. He wore a black uniform with a purple stripe down the middle and a silver utility belt. He had Velcro purple and black shoes and greyish-white gloves. "OK, OK, I'm here Robin no need to shout. Yeesh!" he said. His voice was high-pitched. "I'm Beast-Boy, the best-looking person on the team!"
"Yeah right!" I murmured under my breath so that no one could hear. "I'm Kai-"
"No you're not!" Beast-Boy cut me off. "You need a super hero name! As soon I found out about your powers I started looking for names, and I finally found one. Pyro!"
"Cool name, but why that?"
"Because, genius, pyro means fire, just like terra means earth,"
"No it doesn't."
"Well…it sounds cool!"
"Can't argue that!" I replied.
He began he tour, from the top of the tower to the bottom. First he took me onto the roof. "We play volleyball, basketball, netball and more sports up here. Also gives you a sweet view of Jump City!" he said.
I looked around. There were nets and goals everywhere. I looked over the edge. Beast-Boy was right. This view is awesome!
Next he showed me the bedrooms. Robin's was pretty plain, with some indoor training courses, a computer and some Batman posters. Don't ask me how I knew who Batman was, 'cause I don't know either. Next was a room filled with robotics and an 8 foot long metal bench with what looked like some kind of charger on it. Beast-Boy said it was his buddy Cyborg's room. Apparently Cyborg was half robot, hence the charging bench instead of a bed. The next room was filled with pink. There was a girl inside. She had orange-y coloured skin and maroon hair. She wore a purple tank top and a purple mini-skirt. She had knee high boots. She must like purple a lot I thought. She was lying on her heart shaped bed playing what looked like some kind of giant maggot. "Starfire, this is Pyro. Pyro, Starfire," Beast-Boy introduced us.
Starfire looked up. Her eyes were all green, pupils, irises, everything. "Oh, friend Beast-Boy, I did not notice you there. I am Starfire, princess of Tamaran," she introduced herself.
"An alien. Cool!" I said. "I'm Pyro."
"Hello new friend!" she exclaimed, before embracing in an almost literally bone-crushing hug.
"Hi," I managed to get out.
Beast-Boy told her to let me breathe and she put me down. "Starfire can shoot star-bolts, she has super-strength and she can fly," Beast-Boy said. "And this" he said, pointing to the maggot-like thing "is Silkie. He's a mutant moth larvae."
"Cool!" I said.
He took me to the next door. It read "Raven". "Rae never lets anyone in her room," he explained before moving on to the next room.
This room house a bunk bed, a TV and a PS3. There was mess all over the floor-food scraps, toys, paper. "Welcome to the Beast's den!" Beast-Boy said.
"Guess I know where I'll be sleeping tonight," I said, hopping onto the bottom bunk.
"OH, YEAH! I've got a roomie! Go, Beast-Boy, go Beast-Boy, you've got a roommate, go Beast-Boy! Oh, yeah, uh, that's right!" he sung a victory song.
"Uh, Beast-Boy, you haven't finished the tour yet," I reminded him.
"Oh, yeah,"
We left the room to find a blond girl with blue eyes waiting for us. She had a long sleeved black shirt with a yellow 'T' on it with brown gloves over the top and yellow shorts. She wore brown shoes. "Beast-Boy, what's all the commotion? I'm trying to get some shut-eye," she asked rubbing her eyes.
"Oh, you're up!" she said to me "Sorry I didn't see you before."
"It's cool, you look really tired," I say.
"Yeah, I am thanks to my boyfriend here!" she said, glaring at Beast-Boy.
"Heh, heh. Sorry Terra," he apologised "C'mon Pyro, let's let Terra get some rest."
Next was the gym. There were weight-lifting benches, punching bags, treadmills, and all the other exercise devices you can think of! I tried them all out. The treadmill could move at 100km per hour! Beast-Boy said it was to test his morphing speed and speed in cheetah and leopard form. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"That's my superpower. I can turn into any animal on Earth, and some alien ones too!" he explained.
"Turn into a cat!"
Beast-Boy disappeared, and in his place a green kitten meowed at me.
"A wolf!"
The kitty disappeared and was replaced by a green wolf.
"Whatever Silkie is!"
The wolf turned into a green version of Silkie. "That is so cool!" I said.
He morphed back into a human. "Yeah, I know," he said.
"Such modesty," I said sarcastically.
Next was the Main Ops Room, where there was a plasma screen TV and a horse-shoe shaped sofa in front of it. The TV was playing a racing game with a blue and white car in first car. Beast-Boy headed into the kitchen across from it and started cooking something. I went to see who was playing the game. I walked over and sat on the sofa. A tall guy was sitting there, too absorbed in his game to notice me, or that's how it seemed "Hi," I said.
He jumped right out of his seat. "AHH! Oh, hi there. I'm Cyborg," he introduced himself.
He had brown skin (A/N: Not trying to be racist here, sorry if that offended anyone) but it was mostly replaced with white and grey metal and blue electrical circuit thingies. Beast-Boy wasn't wrong about this guy being half-robot. "Pyro," I said, shaking his hand.
"Come on dude, times a wastin'" I heard Beast-Boy nag us to finish up.
"Since when does BB care about wasting time?" Cyborg asked.
"How should I know? Anyway, see ya round," I said, waving goodbye.
He showed me the evidence room, the bathroom and finally, last but not least, the garage, home of the R-Cycle and the T-Car. The T-car was built a similar way to Cyborg's robotics. Beast-Boy said it was Cy's pride and joy. I couldn't blame him. 11 volume stereos, soft cushioning seats, built in cup-holders. This thing is one sweet ride, I'll tell you that much. "Well, my tofu will probably be ready now so I'm out. See ya dude!" Beast-Boy said, running off.
I smiled. I was going to enjoy it here.
"Ah, Kai. You are progressing quickly son. Little do you know, it's only going to be used against you and your new friends! Mwa ha ha ha ha!"
