Stone Outlaws

By Demonabyss

Chapter 1: Meetings

Why me? I ask you, why me? How in the blazing hell do I get myself into these situations? One moment I'm walking along and minding my own business and the next I'm on some weird mission from Orbis Terrarum, I still don't know how she talked me into this, and now I'm running from a bunch of flying armored robots with this weird red glowing eyed girl next to me on the outskirts of London, England at 3:16 AM. It has been a couple months since the Trigon incident and three weeks since I left the United States. Everyone thinks I'm still stuck in that thing, well let them, I have no desire to be chased around the country, or the world for that matter, again. I left the USA to try to salvage some valuables I had stashed here some time ago to bring back to my base in Jump City. However, Orbis contacted me about some mission. She wanted me to capture a transport before it could reach its destination. I didn't think it'd be much trouble and she had never asked me to do anything before so I agreed. I mean she is usually supportive and one of the few … beings I'd consider a friend. However, she neglected to mention that it was under heavy security and that the "cargo" was a girl in a black skintight suit with neon red eyes. On top of all this, she had to wake me up at 1 AM on a Saturday! I am so going to get Orbis for this. I don't know how but I will. That is the last time I let her talk me into something like this again. I don't care if she is the spirit of the Earth, I'm will have my revenge for this!

'Oh you don't mean that my little earth walker,' Orbis replied kindly in a tone a mother would use, which was the tone she used the most often. Terra just gave her the mental equivalent of a scowl. 'Now don't give me that, you know you enjoy the thrill, the action, the…' she was cut off by Terra. The being shot at by drones and not knowing why! You had better have a damn good explanation for all this! I know this girl isn't human, but then what is she? I want an explanation for this now! Damn, that thing almost hit me. This just isn't my day.

(Normal POV)

Terra flew through the air on her rock, holding tightly to the second girl as they dodged laser fire. She was in her human form and dressed in a black jacket, a black tee shirt with the Japanese kanji symbol for Earth on it in yellow, leather gloves, army boots, and baggy forest camouflage pants. On the rock with her was another girl, though much stranger looking. She looked like a 16-year-old and she was a few inches shorter then Terra and wore a black skin-tight suit that covered her whole body except her head. She had perfectly white pale skin and a child like face. Instead of hair, she had silver dreadlocks that reached to her butt and her eyes definitely weren't human. They were completely black with a neon red circle with a vertical bar in the middle of it, giving her a creepy machine like look to her. Right now, she seemed very docile and content to do as Terra wished. The earth elemental would find out why later on, once these drones were destroyed.

They dodged and weaved as a half dozen drones continued to give chase. One of their laser fire hit Terra directly in the back of her head. "That's it!" Her eyes and hands glowed bright gold as small cyclones of rocks and debris came up, engulfing the drones, ripping them apart instantly. Once they were gone, she landed on the ground in a forested area. She dragged the girl with her to a secluded area to get some answers as to what in the hell was going on here.

Halfway around the world in Jump City, Raven sat on the rooftop of Titans tower, looking at the colossus that stood in the bay. The others were all doing their thing since the Trigon incident, which is what everyone called it. They had stopped trying to find a cure for Terra's "condition" under Raven's theory that she just needed to recharge herself and nothing they could do would speed it up. She said this in order to get them to stop wasting time on cures when she herself knew Terra was alive and well. The demoness knew this from the Quarry mirror. It was now fully active, meaning Terra was fully alive, aware, and kicking. She never used the mirror to enter elemental's mind however. If she did then she'd be no better then her father and invading a person's mind without permission was a serious offence among telepaths on Azarath and unless it was an emergency, it was forbidden. Moreover, Raven had a good amount of respect for Terra. Being inside someone's head and merging powers with them tended to do that.

The demoness was broken out of her thoughts when the doorbell to the tower rang. Knowing that Starfire would eventually drag her down to meet their guest, Raven opted to just go down herself. "I'll get it," she said as she went down in the elevator. When she got to and opened the front door, her eyes momentarily widened.

It was a young man, about seventeen or so, with short brown hair and blue eyes, very familiar blue eyes. He wore a suit of armor with a strange crest on it. He was semi muscular, similar to Robin but slightly taller. "Are you one of the Titans?" he asked with a slight Russian accent.

"Yes, who are you?" Raven asked though she knew exactly who this person was from Terra's memories. Even if he was older, his eyes and voice gave him away as the one who cast Terra from her home if it could be even called that. Raven still had nightmares from all the times she let her demon side get loose and from her experiences caused by Trigon. She could only imagine the nightmares Terra had thanks to this boy and his parents.

"I am Geoforce and I need to speak to all of you concerning her," he said while motioning to the colossus. "May I come in?" he asked cautiously. Raven gazed hard at him for a moment, trying to assess what his intentions were. There was only one thing this boy could be here for and it was standing in the bay right now. Raven would also hazard to guess that it had been years since the two had seen each other. She nodded and allowed him access, knowing this was going to be and interesting evening.

Terra sighed exasperated. She was sitting in an old empty church in the countryside with this strange girl. Apparently, she was some type of android or something like that because that was how she acted, like a machine. So far she had learned nothing, other than that she should've stayed in bed. "Okay let's start over. What is your name?" Terra asked again.

"My designation is XP02956," the metallic girl said in an emotionless voice.

Terra sighed again. "XP02956 is not a name. It's a designation. Okay can you tell me where you came from or who made you?" she asked trying to figure out where this strange machine came from.

"Accessing. Fragmented data found. XP02956 was built in underground testing lab located 23 miles south of the town of Ruby in the state of Alaska, USA. No further data available," she said in mechanical tone with a very slight tinge of sadness to it. Terra caught it, being as observant as she was.

"Okay, we'll come back to that, what is your programming?" the elemental asked, trying to discern what the purpose of this android was.

The girl paused. "Accessing. Error. Error. No primary programming available. Only operational programming available," she said in a voice that sounded confused. Terra raised an eyebrow, detecting the confusion. Why would an android be confused at a lack of programming or sad at not knowing about where it came from? For that matter how in the hell could it … she even be operational?

"Okay no programming. How about functions? What can you do," Terra asked. If she knew what this machine was capable of then maybe, she could deduce its, her function.

The android or whatever it was paused for a moment. "Accessing primary abilities: data and machine assimilation, data storage, no limit set, limited form alteration, metal assimilation and reconstruction, processing, computation, hacking, no limits set on any, and weapon modification," she said simply but with a slight twinge of curiosity that Terra caught. That was the second time this machine had showed some personality. That made the elemental curious.

"Look, uh, XP, do you have, I don't know, personality routines?" Terra asked interested. If this android had personality routines, coupled with the form alteration she mentioned, it would be that much easier to smuggle her to wherever Terra needed to without drawing attention.

"Accessing. Affirmative. Personality menus are unavailable. Restricted by operational programming to be set by primary programming," XP explained calmly.

Terra narrowed her eyes from a moment. "Hack them. If we're going to get you anywhere, we'll need to be able to hide you and to do that you need to be able to act like a human and not a machine. Can you also change your appearance to make yourself look more human?" she asked. The android nodded and her eyes flashed bright red, as she seemed to process the request. Her body then seemed to shimmer with waves of silver racing down it as she morphed. Terra was surprised when the android became an exact duplicate of her! Blonde hair, blue eyes, she even made up for the height difference! Terra stared blankly at her while Terra XP just grinned exactly as the original would if their positions were switched.

"How's this? Not bad huh?" She said in the exact same voice and manner as Terra. The original blinked a few times before face palming while sighing in exasperation.

"That's not exactly what I meant. Look, why don't you adjust your height to what it was before, alter the hair color and length, and alter your eyes, face, and voice a little. That way we'll attract less attention," Terra explained as she thought in her head about what to do. The metal girl nodded and once again, her body shimmered silver. Her hair changed color from golden blonde to dark red and her body shrunk back to 5'7" as her face changed. It became less round and a little bit more aristocratic then Terra's and now looked 16 years old. Her eyes also shifted to look like a normal human's eyes, colored a lighter blue color based on Terra's eyes. Her clothes also shifted to baggy dark blue pants and a simple black tee shirt. If anyone were to look at them, they'd probably think the two were sisters on holiday, not an outlaw elemental and a weird high tech machine in disguise. Terra nodded in approval. 'Okay Orbis, you owe me an explanation. Who is this girl and why is she so damn important that you had me kidnap her?' she asked sourly. It was still early in the morning and she hadn't had much sleep all night.

Orbis sighed in Terra's mind. 'This girl is an advanced prototype biosynthetic nanotech bioroid,' the spirit said calmly.

'A what? Look, I may be techno savvy but you lost me here,' Terra replied confused.

Orbis Terrarum sighed again. 'She's basically an altered prototype copy of Brainiac created by CADMUS by the government. However, Lex Luthor's agents stole her because he wanted to use her to revive Brainiac and merge with him to become the equivalent of a god. He would've gotten away with it had you not intervened. Any details you'll have to find on your own,' Orbis explained.

Terra nodded in understanding while XP just looked at her confused at what she was thinking. 'That explains a lot. The government wanted their own Brainiac for their own purposes but without the mass of data that Brainiac has and making it female to boot, they thought she'd be easier to control. Therefore, when I pulled her out of stasis it was before anyone had programmed her. Nevertheless, why call me? Couldn't you have sent the Justice League or something nor done it yourself?' she asked tiredly. God she wanted to go bed for a week.

Orbis snorted at her in her mind. 'You know better then that. You know the ancient laws and besides, how in the hell would I contact the Justice League? You know I can't do something THAT delicate. Besides you were itching for some action, you can't fool me,' the spirit of the Earth smirked at her mentally.

'Oh shut up, I've had enough for one day,' she replied sourly. She then turned to XP who was looking at her oddly, as she had detected some strange faint energy signatures from her new companion. "Get some rest or do a diagnostic or something. Tomorrow we'll pick up my stash and head out towards that lab to learn exactly what you are." With that Terra laid back to get some sleep as XP did do exactly as Terra said and ran a diagnostic while continuing to fiddle with her personality controls.

Who is Geoforce and what does he want with the Titans and Terra?

How did Terra get free of the colossus?

What will Terra and XP02956 find in the lab?

Will XP02956 ever decide on a personality, or a name for that matter?
