Chapter 1 :: Haunting the Titians
Danny sat at his table, back against the wall idle. Waiting for his parents to come back from the ghost hunting convention they had gone to, his crystalline blue eyes flitted around the odd triangle-shaped restaurant, taking a measure of each person he saw, whether they were talkative, or quiet, threatening, or kind. The few other people in the restaurant were either in the quiet meeting a few tables over, or were working in the back.
The wary teen was just setting into the unfamiliar surroundings when the doors burst open and loud shouts of, "MEATLOVERS SUPREME!" and, "VEGGIE SPECIAL!" filled the air.
The ones making the racket were a tall dark skinned teen with robotic body parts and a green furred elfling of diminutive stature. The mismatched pair were being trailed by three others with expressions ranging from happiness, to slight annoyance, to a dark simmering aura that seemed ready to lash out at anyone who did the smallest thing to incur its wrath.
The one that seemed like nothing could spoil her mood was currently floating about two feet above the ground. After a while, she shot the dark haired boy to her right a glance then asked, "Friend Robin? Why do we not just buy two pizzas when we come here so that we can dispense with the shouting and the fighting?" Her clear green eyes displayed a sort of innocence that you usually only see in younger children as she twirled a lock of unnaturally red hair.
"Robin" quirked an eyebrow, his eyes hidden by a mask as he eyed the two arguing friends, "Starfire, we do order both types of pizzas each time we come here. They just like to argue… I think."
Starfire just blinked, "But why?"
The third person spoke up, annoyance showing clearly in her posture as she lowered her deep blue cape's hood, "It's because they're idiots." Her purple hair reached to her shoulders, matching her deep violet eyes.
Suddenly, the green elfling turned around and spotted the girl in the cloaked leotard, "Rae! Tell this guy that we have to order the Veggie Special!"
The Goth twitched, "I told you not to call me that. My name is Raven. Ra-ven, not Rae, unless you want to find yourself shortly becoming a Beastboy-kabob."
Beastboy's eyes widened, "Hey!"
He was about to protest further when he was cut off by a dark chuckle.
The five teen's heads whipped around to spot the perpetrator.
The teen with the robotic parts stepped forward, looking suspiciously at the outsider, "Who are you? What is your name?"
Danny stopped laughing and fixed him with a pointed stare, "I would tell you but it is only polite to state your own name first before asking someone else's."
He blinked, "You're new in town, aren't you? Most people know who the Teen Titans are. I'm Cyborg." Cyborg extended a metallic hand in greeting.
Danny raised a white eyebrow as he ran a hand through his white streaked bangs before taking the proffered hand, "Cyborg huh? Not too original but I'm not really one to criticize, I'm Danny." Danny clenched his hand tightly by accident when a wisp of blue mist left his mouth, unnoticed by all except for him.
Though he didn't realize it, his needle sharp claw like nails had dug gouges into the metal of Cyborg's palm to be noticed later on by the Titan during one of his routine maintenance checks.
"Huh?" the Titan's chorused, Danny's words making absolutely no sense whatsoever to them.
Danny waved a hand as though clearing away bad air, "Nothing, nothing… Forget about it." After eyeing them a bit more, he commented bitterly, "So, you do the whole hero gig then… Interesting…"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Robin asked with a slight frown, feeling the same odd vibes Raven was picking up when he glanced at her.
Danny just shook his head slightly but didn't give any indication that he had caught the subtle wordless communication, "I have to go, but it was nice meeting the 'heros' in these parts." Danny didn't even bother trying to hide his bitterness this time and he turned around and walked away, waving a gloved hand negligibly.
"…" the Titans stared after him slightly unnerved by the hybrid walking away from them.
Beastboy was the first to speak, "Well that was odd." After a moment, he started the conversation back up right where they had left off before they were interrupted, "Sooo… Who's up for a VEGGIE SPECIAL?"
The rest of the Titans rolled their eyes and ordered their pizzas but both Raven and Robin glanced in the direction they had last seen Danny with a puzzled expression on their faces.
Seraph :: Okay… What do you think? Good, bad, or horrid? Danny is my version of Danny. A darker Danny with more depth. When I get a picture of him up on the Internet, I'll let you know 'cause he has a way different fashion sense than that of the original Danny. He picked it up after the death of Sam and Tucker. Yes. That's right. They died in this fic and Danny had a lot of trouble coping after Jazz left to collage. Since there were no ghosts attacking Amity Park anymore, the Fentons decided to move to Jump City where ghost attacks have reached an all time high there for some reason.
Since you are reading this please review while you're at it. I don't mind flames but don't complain if I ignore them. I would rather appreciate constructive criticism to outright bashing any day.
