I do NOT own Teen Titans, it's the propriety of DC, the creators of the show and of the comics.

California, San Fransisco

'' - Marthy ! Could you take out the trash ? ''

'' One minute, mom ! ''

I am on my computer writing to my friend Tom, who was in London, for a while. Me, I was stuck in California for the whole summer. It's not that I didn't wanted to go to California, but I would had loved to bring at least one of my friends with me. I couldn't see neither Nick or Tom for at least two months. Before going downstares, I ask Tom if he had any news of Nick.

Tom93 : No, and you ?

MarthyMcFly4 : Me neither, that's why I asked

Tom93 : I wouldn't worry for now, he's probably spending some alone time with Lucy, if you know what I mean :P

MarthyMcFly4 : Dude, that's disgusting. She's what, ten years old ? Oh, sorry, my mom's calling, talk to you later ?

Tom93 : No problem buddy, bye !

- MarthyMcFly4 has disconnected

- Tom93 has disconnected

I go downstairs, and I see my mother and my father talking. I ignore them, and I take the trash bag and go outside. While I'm doing this, I think a little presentation is welcomed.

My name's Marthy Johansson, I am 14 years old, and I normally live in New York City. I love being there, because there are my two best friends, Nick Landon and Tom Hinckell, Tom is a bit older than us, he's 16. We met him in a comic book shop, and ended friends. He was a cool guy.

I am a HUGE comic book fan, mostly the superhero's ones. I don't know why, I've always loved superheroes. I always found them so cool. My favourites by far, were the Teen Titans, I loved the show when I was little, and still to this day, sometimes, I rewatch the episodes. It was really a cool show.

I don't have as much objects of them, then when I was a kid, but I mostly sold them because I grew up. I still have a poster or two though, and a T-Shirt, but that was mostly it.

But I was worried for Nick, yeah he had Lucy back in New York, but even with her, he's gonna end up being really bored. I wish my parents would had let him go with us, but apparently there had been some...complications between our parents, but I don't know that much more.

Being there, I should go on with my backstory. Just for you to have an idea to what I look like. Here's a little description, I'll do the best I can. I have a brown short hair. I have green eyes, but thankfully I don't have glasses. I'm not a jock, but I do some sport in my free time, so my body is in a okay shape. In sports classes, I always had good results in races, for my speed and stamina, but I'm not that strong. I can barely lift 75 pounds. So, my average is decent I would say.

My clothing is basically always, t-shirt, jeans. Of course, with shoes. I'm not a nudist, like surprisingly, quite a few people in California. Since I lived here, I saw a lot of things I wish to forget. Anyway, let's continue.

I have a sister, Nicole, she's eight years old, she has brown hair, more curly than mine. She always wear dresses. She likes them. As her big brother, I always felt the need to protect her. I still do, but she will grow up, soon, she won't need me anymore. Sure, I'm not a though guy, I'm still a nerd in my room watching anime and reading to comics, but it doesn't mean I'm not in for a good ol'fight when necessary. Doesn't mean I fight often, and it doesn't mean that when I do, I win. I think it just means that I like to stand up to people.

I think, I didn't heard her inside. So I guess, she is playing outside, maybe with her new friends. She was just like that, it makes me smile, she was so good at making friends. I think she can befriends people faster in minutes than me in months. I am putting the trash away. Now that it is done, I can now return to... WHAT?!

I am standing, frozen, on my yard, as I saw, a few meters from me. Nicole standing here, coming get her soccer ball, and a car coming dangerously fast. I don't have time to think, I have to act. I run as fast as I can, just a push, I just have to push her out of the way. I don't care what happens to me, but Nicole has to live, she has to. Would my parents miss me ? Maybe ? Would my friends miss me ? Surely, but I don't have time to regret. The car was trying to slow down, but too late, either it was me or Nicole, it will kill someone. I jump foward. I push her out of the way and I close my eyes. Merely instants before the impact, I whisper.

'' -I'm sorry guys... ''

And everything went black.

Strangely, I felt no impact. No bones crushing, no horrible pain. Just nothing. I don't know if it really is a disappointment or not. I just thought that death would feel like death. Right now, it just feels like time pressed the pause button to take a coffee or something. I'm probably still dead, but it is really weird. I realise something, I am thinking. Am I dead or not ? Am I in paradise ? Surely not, I don't think paradise is just darkness. God must have found my collection of anime. Maybe in purgatory, that makes the most sense, because it certainly does not feel like Hell, maybe we have to wait in line like in a hospital, waiting for our number to be called. Even in death, we can't dodge that bulls***, suddenly I hear the voice in the distance.

'' - Martin Johansson ''

'' -Yeah, that's my name, but just call me Marthy, are you God? Or are you Satan ? ''

'' -I am neither of them ''

'' -Oh, so you're a secretary, eh? ''

The voice laughed, I think it's a pretty good achievement, I made an unknown voice laugh.

'' -No, my boy, I am not here to claim your soul...yet. In fact, you are not even dead. ''

What ? How is that possible ? Am I in a coma?

'' -How ? I mean, this car killed me, right? Even if it did not, where am I and why am I here? ''

What is even happening anymore ? I should be dead, and if what this guy says is true, how am I alive ? Nothing in this makes sense, if I was alive, I should wake up, probably in a hospital bed, probably coming out of a long coma, and I'll maybe be in rehabilitation for years. Yeah, sounds like fun.

'' - No this car didn't killed you, you exploded through time and space. ''

'' - Ok that explains everything... I just exploded through time and...WHAT THE F***? ''

'' -Language ''

'' -Oops, sorry... ''

'' - As I was saying, yes, I know you must be confused, but let me explain, when the car crushed you, something very rare happened, your soul instead of going in the afterlife, went passed it right into my domain. I'll make you an offer, one that almost none living being ever had, so consider her very seriously. Since your body in your home dimension has been destroyed, but your soul is still very alive. I'll propose to put you in another dimension, it was not your time, and I believe you will accomplish some great things in the world I have in mind. ''

Huh...What? Okay, let's take that point by point. What I thought is true, I am really dead in my world. Thanks for the false hope, asshole. Now I am really sure to never see Nicole, Nick and Tom again. He wants to put me in another dimension. Well, that could be very interesting. Better that, than be dead really. What other option do I really have ?

'' -Of course, I'll accept, mister, I'm not a moron, but what do you mean when you say I'll accomplish great things. I'm just a geek, there is no realistic way where I'd save the day. Nowhere else than in my fantasies. ''

'' - I'll explain that too, I think you may find that one really interesting. By traveling from a dimension to another, you become what we call a Paradox. Something that should not exist in that dimension. What is really interesting for you is that the limit of their reality does not really count on you. You could give the law of gravity the middle finger and start to fly for exemple, or the law of reality and create objects out of nothing, or the law of logic and start to shoot lasers with your eyes. You have a lot of possibility in your hands. Normally, my job is to get rid of Paradoxes, because most of them causes nothing but trouble, but I think you can be really usefull, so I'll make an exemption for you. ''

Wow, that was awesome, but do I really want that kind of life ? Hell yeah, but where will he led me? I'll go wherever he will want me to go. I can't wait.

'' - Cool ! So when do I go? ''

'' -Now. ''

Once again everything went dark.

I feel like I'm falling, was that the feeling of interdimensional traveling? I hope so, wait...no. I feel air. I don't think there is air in space, or between dimensions. I open my eyes, and see the clouds. Oh, they were pretty, I was scared I would never see them again. I turn my head and see buildings, oh, how I missed them. Wait. What. Oh god.

'' -SHIIIIIITTTTTTTTT! ''

I was falling, from very, very high. I am going to die, again. God Damn It ! I'm panicking, I am going to hit the ground really soon, I close my eyes once again, and brace myself for impact.

Let me tell you, an impact there has been, it hurts like hell, but apparently I am not dead. Thankfully, that would had been a really short new life. I am stuck to the ground. Well, what a nice way to start. I force myself of the road, and look at myself for a bit. I was intact, no broken bones, not horribly disfigured, I was fine strangely. Was that one of the power of a Paradox too ?

Man, I must have created some panick in the town. I caused a crater, and I was in the middle of it. Strangely, from what I saw, it looked and felt like California, but their was something off...of about it. It's another dimension, I must tell that to myself, but the similarities are really strange.

Then I heard some sounds coming from the outside, it's sounded like voices, but they were familiar. I don't know where I could of heard them. I begin to climb out of the hole, suddenly an arm grab me and pull me out of it. From the few seconds I could see it, the arm seemed robotic.

I drag myself on the ground for a bit, dizzy, and I caught only a part of what the person were saying.

'' - It's just a kid ? How in the world a kid could cause that ? ''

'' - It's not like we were that much older than him, but you're right, it's certainly strange, but not impossible. ''

'' - He may be an alien, or even better, an brain-eating robot ! ''

'' - Let's start by getting him on his feet, don't we ? He seems a bit confused. ''

I started to get myself on my feet when I got caught in a way too familiar ribs crushing hug. The voice coming soon after, he knew it way too well.

'' - Welcome to earth friend ! You'll see it's Fan-Tas-Tic! ''

'' - Let him go Starfire, we don't want him to die...yet. ''

Starfire? Oh no... It can't be ! It's impossible! I shy away from the hug, and take clearly this time at the group. I recognize each one of them. I don't know if I felt honoured or really intimidated. I had before my eyes, my childhood heroes. The Teen Titans.

And that's it for the first chapter of this story !

I was impatient to start this story, so I made that chapter. If you want the story about Nick Landon, read my other story going on Underland Chronicles : The Warrior and The Brain. But it isn't needed to enjoy this one.

If you read both of them, you probably know where I am going with this. Yeah, in the future there will be a story with Tom. For the instance, it would be on Five Night at Freddy's.

I hope you enjoyed the beginning of this story. If you liked or not, please take time to leave a review, it's always appreciated.
