Introduction
¡YO NO TENGO LOS TEEN TITANS!
Silence. It annoyed him so. The sound of nothingness echoing throughout the empty streets. He had no reason to care for this city or its inhabitants. But he chose to stay. He would leave once in a while, but he would always come back. Because the city felt like home, and even if he left, what would he find? Only more silence.
And so he stayed, doomed by his own will. Condemned to the city he wanted nothing more than to escape from. A victim of the one thing he could not escape. Silence. And then it was gone. The silence dissipated, and a great chaotic noise shattered the peaceful air around him. A green comet sailed past his head, missing it by inches. The sonic boom resonating inside his head was salvation from the torture he had been enduring. It had broken the silence.
He dropped from his perch on the edge of a twelve story building, landing as softly as a feather on a pillow, and followed the trail of destruction his salvation had left. What he found at the end of his emerald rainbow was not a pot of gold, but a girl, and boy.
"Who are you?" Asked the boy in a demanding tone. "Tuchankus chumas derivan!" came the reply as the girl lunged at him with the weighted cuffs binding her hands together. They created a great deal of chaos with their battle, enough to tear the silence from his troubled mind.
The girl aimed a kick at a car, sending it flying with amazing precision at her target. The boy ducked just in time and struggled to his feat mumbling. "Stronger than she looks…" The girl cracked her neck "Chouncha." She leapt at the boy, emitting a scream so hateful, that it would have dissipated any silence that dared to stay in the path, if a green ram hadn't intervened.
He had seen many things in his short time in the city of silence (as he had come to call it.) A green ram was not among them. The strange green ram transformed into a strange green boy and began fighting the girl along side the first boy.
A truck flew by the males, only to be caught by another boy. This one was quite large, and had a voice just as large. "YO! WHO HERE'S MESSING UP MY NEIGHBORHOOD?" The green one replied in an innocent sort of way, "She started it…"
The males attacked, but they were stopped yet again by a great black raven. The source was another girl, cloaked in blue, with eyes that reminded him of silence. He didn't like those eyes. The new arrival spoke, "Perhaps fighting isn't the answer."
The first boy hesitated for a moment then nodded, he approached the girl, and pulled a screwdriver out of his belt. "My name is Robin…" "TSUMAKA" the girl raised her cuffed fists to the boy, her hands glowing with a bright green aura. "Relax, I just want to help." The girl blinked and lowered her hands. The boy, Robin, found a nick in the cuffs and poked at it with the screwdriver, the cuffs slid off easily. "There, now maybe we can be fre…" The girl kissed him.
From his hiding place in an ally way, he watched as their lips separated. Robin blushed, but the girl slammed him to the ground, screaming, "If you wish not to be destroyed, you will leave me alone!" Then she flew off into the night.
The group stood there, stunned. The green one was the first to snap out of the trance. "Umm… Dudes?" They turned to see a spaceship, massive, with an enormous particle weapon mounted on its hull. A projector dropped down from the cockpit, and a fish creature was displayed like a giant Godzilla, taking up a near five-mile diameter.
It spoke in a reptilian voice, distorted by the fuzz of a microphone, "Citizens of Earth, we come to your planet to reclaim a prisoner. A very dangerous prisoner. Do not interfere, and we will leave your city with only minimal damage. But if you attempt to assist her, your destruction will be absolute." Robin glared at the projection "We have to help her." The girl cloaked in blue frowned, "They told us not to interfere."
He had no reason to care about the city or its inhabitants. But he chose to stay. The city was his home, and he would do his part to save it. He stepped out of the ally and spoke, "If we don't interfere, they'll be more than likely to destroy us anyway." The big one blinked. "Ummmm… Who are you?" The reply took quite a while to come. "I am… Fate."
"TWLEVE HOURS LATER"
1:00 AM. Nothing but silence. Fate closed his eyes. He hated night. It was too quiet. Footsteps behind him saved him from his torment. "What are you doing up so late… I mean early?" Queried Raven. "I could ask you the same." Fate replied without turning around.
She sat down on the edge of the lighthouse roof next to him. "Fate, I'm an empath. I can feel your emotions. Loneliness, sorrow, fear. I can't sleep with all those feelings floating around in my head." Fate lay back on the tiled roof, "Sorry... I just… It's true. I'm scared Raven. I'm a sedatephobiac." Raven raised an eyebrow, "You're afraid of silence?"
The boy nodded, the bandages on his arms flowing in the wind. "It screams in my head. Its so loud, so terrifying." The blue-cloaked girl looked down at the water. "Lets see if you can talk yourself to sleep. Lets play the question game." Fate sighed, but nodded. Raven smiled, "Okay, I'll go first. Where are you from?" "I don't know." Raven frowned, "Ummm… Ok… You go." "Where are you from?" "Another dimension called Azarath." "Mmm. Your turn." Raven sighed, "Fine, why do you have so many bandages on your arms?"
Fate stiffened, then crawled into the fetal position and buried his head in his thighs. Raven blinked, "Fate?" She heard a faint sob flow through the muffling of his legs. "Fate… I'm… sorry… I'll just… go back to sleep…" "No… stay with me…" The boy took a deep breath and rested his head on his knees. "I am a walking weapon of mass destruction. If these bandages come off, anything within 250 miles is affected by a temporal disruption." Raven blinked, "So if you take those bandages off… you break time." Fate nodded. "Is that why you're called Fate?"
The boy pointed at the tile Raven was sitting on, a spark rippled from his finger, causing the tile to loosen and fall, Raven levitated back to the roof unharmed. "You can create temporal rifts and affect probability." Fate grinned, "And I can see the future." "No!" "Yes." "Really?" "To a certain extent." "How certain?" Fate rested his chin on his legs once again. "If there is someone or something that I want nothing more than to be safe at the present time, I will occasionally see a random thirty seconds of that person or thing's future." Raven blinked "Has it ever happened before?"
Fate averted his gaze to the water, "Twice, once for my mother, right before I created a hole in the space time continuum, killing her, and once… for a girl." Raven raised her eyebrows, "What girl?" A tear dripped from Fate's eye, "Her name was… is Jinx."
