"Beast Boy! Take the left!" Robin shouts as the green-skinned boy runs towards Mumbo. But the giant T-Rex is stopped as a bouquet of flowers is thrown in his face. The flowers change into a net, and beast boy struggles to get out. Above, the pink-haired superheroine aims and shoots starbolts towards the magician, but he parries the blast with a magic force bubble.
"He's unstoppable with the new wand thingy magicky!" Cyborg shouts.
"The staff of the two snakes, you mean." Raven mutters and tries to tug the staff out of Mumbo's hands with no avail.
"Hey, what's the holdup?" Beast boy stops as Mumbo wrestles with an invisible force.
"Someone's here. I don't know if they're friendly or not." Raven reports.
Just in time, a figure shimmers into view.
"No way." Cyborg breathes.
The girl is wearing a button up shirt, black slacks, and a light brown trench coat. She has a tie loosely and carelessly tied around her neck. Her dirty blonde hair is loose and tumbling around her shoulders, with a purple streak. But when she turns her head, she has glowing purple eyes, like orbs of magic.
"Hellfire." Cyborg says.
"May I ask who is Hellfire?" Starfire says, landing besides them.
"She's a powerful magician." Raven's suddenly next to them. "She can handle herself."
"And the best techno-sorcerer ever." Cyborg's eyes glint in admiration.
"What's she doing in Jump City?" Robin wonders as Hellfire flicks her hand towards Mumbo. The staff shakes and glows, and with much yelling and cursing from the turquoise magician, he drops the staff.
"This, Mister Mumbo, is nothing personal." She says, then takes out a cubit-long baton and whacks him across the head with it.
The titans jog over.
"Nice work you did there." Robin comments.
"Thanks." Hellfire leans down and starts to hog-tie the villain.
"What're you doing in Jump City?" Cyborg says. "By the way, I'm a big fan of your stuff."
"New residence." She turns towards them. Her eyes are intimidating. "Why?"
"Have you got anywhere to live?" Robin asks.
"No. I thought you were supposed to be a detective." Hellfire snaps her fingers and a low-brimmed hat appears on her head.
"Then we invite you to the Titans tower!" Starfire announces, grinning.
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Cyborg presses a button and the titans' living room appears in front of them.
"Ta-Da!" he grins and spreads his hands.
"Not bad." The girl says. "Big place."
"There is where we do the playing of the video games!" Starfire gestures to the sofa, where snacks and game consoles are littered around.
"Yay." Hellfire says unenthusiastically. "Why'd you bring me here?"
"I wish to be friends with you! I hope we can be the bestest of friends?" Starfire stretches a smile so much it almost peels off her face.
"Okay. But I'm not exactly your normal person, am I?" She coughs as Starfire chokes her with a hug.
"Everyone here isn't exactly normal! Who cares if we have another abnormal person?" Cyborg says, shrugging.
Raven raises a hand.
"Me." She mutters.
Hellfire taps her feet fast, like she's been doing since she's been standing still.
"Back to the point. Why would you bring me here to the giant T?"
"You have hero potential." Robin admits.
"So what? You're going to accept any hero?" she sits down, and starts tapping the table with her fingers, and stops her feet.
"Could you stop the tapping please? It's driving me crazy!" Beast boy pulls his ears over his earholes and sinks to the floor dramatically.
"I can't stop it. I'm too… hyperactive. I'm ADHD."
"Seems a bit gloomy for ADHD."
"Thank my dad for that."
"Who is your dad?" The whole of the titans suddenly gathers around the table, not minding the tapping.
"His name is John. John Constantine. Which is sort of why I am called Johanne Constantine. Call me Jo."
"Wait…." Beast boy pulls a face. "Did you just tell us your secret identity? And isn't Constantine evil?"
"Just because my dad's evil, bean boy, doesn't mean I am."
"Why am I bean boy?"
"Because beans are green, just like you."
"Enough with the useless chatter." Raven grumbles.
"Yes! If she is going to join the team, we must prepare!" Starfire hovers over the floor and claps her hands.
"Prepare for what?" Hellfire props her feet up on the table, which Cyborg isn't exactly happy with.
"Prepare for…. Initation!"
