Chapter Zero: Titans Genesis

It started how it always starts: with a disaster.

"The Albo Mall in Elliot Lake has collapsed!" In Sandra's room, the TV blared on, but as soon as she heard those words, Sandra was off. Elliot Lake is a good 1000 kilometres from Toronto, but with a speedster, that can be ran in ten minutes. Changing into The Fierce Flame on the way, she arrived there about the same time as the first rescue teams.

BIO: The Fierce Flame

Real Name: Sandra Bollington

Powers: Can change the speed of molecules

Arriving there, on her first superhero mission, she felt scared and worried. However, soon other heroes started to arrive. First came Blue Beetle, flying in while seemingly talking to himself.

BIO: Blue Beetle

Real Name: Jaime Reyes

Powers: Too many to list! Scarab on back; magic and stuff.

"Yes, I know that!", Blue Beetle said. However, what Blue Beetle heard was "There seems to be somebody standing there wearing a superhero costume."

"Hey! Little Boy Blue! Stop talking to yourself and let's help out!" The Fierce Flame yelled up to Blue Beetle.

"If the scarab shuts up, I'll be glad to help." Blue Beetle said this, but by the time he had finished, The Fierce Flame had already ran in to the collapse of the mall, grabbed three people and came back. Almost at the same moment, a Boom tube opened and a boy walked out. The boy suddenly ran into the building. The two others looked at each other and realized they should really be focusing on helping people.

Blue Beetle flew into the building, only to see part of it start to collapse on the boy.

"Watch..." But by the time Blue Beetle had finished speaking, the building had already collapsed on top of the boy. However, behind him Blue Beetle heard a voice say: "Were you trying to say 'Watch out'?" Blue Beetle spun around to see the boy perfectly safe and sound.

BIO: Escape

Real Name: Marcus Matthews

Powers: Uses Mother Box to perform escapes from anything worth escaping from.

The three heroes worked together to start rescuing people. After a few minutes of rescuing people and generally helping out, a couple new heroes arrived. A boy and a girl flew in. The girl was well-known to the Northern Ontario locals as Equinox, but the boy, flying in from the opposite direction, was unknown even by the closest followers of the heroes of the world.

BIO: Equinox

Real Name: Miiyahbin Marten

Powers: They change with the seasons, so I can make up anything! Hoora!

BIO: The World's Marvel

Real Name: Freddy Freeman

Powers: Shazam powers; If you don't know what they do, you really should!

"Wow, I guess a mall collapse draws a crowd, even in these parts!" The boy joked. "I might as well help all of you!"

"Just shut up and help!", the girl told him.

Half an hour later, everyone was busy moving blocks and saving people, when suddenly they heard a cry for help. A piece of debris was about to fall on a young girl, but she was trapped and all of the heroes were busy. Suddenly, a bystander ran in, grabbed the girl, and ran out before the debris fell on her.

BIO: Hamza Partridge

Real Name: Um... Hamza Partridge

Powers: None. No, I'm not writing his name again here.

"Thanks for the help!" Equinox told him, and he soon started helping them as well.

A while later, Scarab spoke to Blue Beetle. "The ground underneath this area is likely to collapse soon. Estimated humans remaining in the building: 25." Blue Beetle quickly relayed this information to the rest of the heroes.

"What are we going to do?", Blue Beetle finished. Equinox said "We have to hurry up!" Just then, the ground started to sink and collapse. However, at that moment, a blue flash of light came and pried the building off of the ground. A Blue Lantern had arrived!

BIO: Blue Lantern

Real Name: Chin Long

Powers: Can create constructs out of blue light. Powered by hope!

"안녕", the Blue Lantern told them. "Come on, now we have someone speaking another language?" the boy who had flown in earlier said. However, soon everyone was rescued from the building, which the Scarab confirmed. Everyone then had a chance to relax.

The boy who had flown in then said "You can call me The World's Marvel!". The Fierce Flame responded "Yeah right, 'Marvel'." The boy who had saved the girl then said "My name's Hamza. We should form our own team, sort of like the Justice League." Everyone else looked stunned. The Blue Lantern started to say "나...", but was interrupted by Escape. "Doesn't your ring translate for you? We only speak English." The Blue Lantern then told them in English: "I think that Hamza is right. It would be good to combine our strength."

Escape said "We should call ourselves the Titans!" Equinox asked "How about Titans United?" And so it was settled. The seven of them would form a team, and they would meet at Hamza's house for the interim to plan missions, until a better base was set up.

I'm sorry that that might have been a bit long-winded or boring. I always suck with intros. However, come back soon for the new adventures of the Titans United.
