I don't own the Teen Titan in any way.
Chapter2
A Shady Character
The Titans all enter the main room where Paradox was waiting.
Paradox: [relax "So, anything else you want to know."
Cyborg: [ponder "Yeah, Warp's device didn't seem to have a big power source to create a time trail, like the way you explain it."
Paradox: [normal "Well the Warp you faced before was from One-Hundred years into the future, and I'm only a few decades less from that time."
Robin: [inquisitive "Okay, but you mention that Slade didn't leave a trace to follow, so…"
Paradox: [brashly interrupted "I already send a signal myself last night with this time-belt, so they should be here by now."
?o?: [impassive "Such impeccable timing."
The Titans turn to see who spoke; went to battle ready stance when they saw him.
He was slightly taller than Paradox. He was wearing what looks like a black trench coat that cover him completely, excepted it was sleeveless and shows a very baggy sleeves to what he was wearing underneath, which secured by a leathery belt that hold the slack of the sleeve to his shoulders, thick black strap sleeved gauntlet, and a black hood over his head leaving his face in darkness. His entire being was eerie as he stood their, across the room, motionless.
Paradox: [worrying "Whoa! Wait a minute!" while he get between the Titans and the shadow teen.
?o?: [emotionless monotone "Why is their aggression persist toward my presence."
Paradox: [sarcasm "Ah, maybe its because you look like the Grim Reaper with that coat!"
?o?: [monotone "Very well, I'll take my coat off."
The new comer giving a glare to Paradox only, though the Titans behind Paradox felt a bad vibe form his glare, even if they can't see his eyes. The dark teen took of his coat and the Titans stayed in their battle stance, but with their eyes widen.
Paradox: [sarcastic "Great, now you look like a psychotic killer!" Paradox remarked.
The dark teen was wearing a black straitjacket , all black cargo pants, and combat boots, but it was his mask that left the finishing touch to the surprise, the mask was a thick black metal that covered his entire face, strap firmly by leather belt attack to the side of the mask, leaving his ebon hair to spike upward but slightly loose than stiff compare to Robins; the mask was secured tightly as though the mask was never meant to come off.
?o?: [emotionless "Your complicating mission."
Raven look at the other Titan that their still a little shocked.
Raven feel at odd that she felt that he is not a threat.
Raven: [calm "So, who are you."
Paradox: [interrupted "Oh, you can call him Crow."
?o?: [plain "When did I agreed to be referred by that name[whisper to Paradox Also why feathered creatures are commonly associated named to my family?"
Paradox: [hesitant "Well, you not bother giving yourself a name to go by and the team dose need to refer you by some kind of name; besides it suits you, in a way," [curious and not bothering to answer the last question "and speaking of the team, where is everyone else."
Crow: [intellectual "The name Crow will suffice for now. As for the whereabouts of 'everyone else,' during your chase with Slade in the lab, you both destroyed almost all of the time-belt except this one, and it will take about a day to make and tested for proper functions for one time-belt."
Paradox: [outrage "What!"
Crow: [monotone "Thinking in critical situations is your prodigiously neglect attribute."
'Paradox, Cyborg, and defiantly Beast-Boy': [confusion "What?"
Paradox: [really irritated "I not sure what you said, but I know it was not a complement."
The Titan have already relax half way through Crow's and Paradox's small conversation. Then the alarm went off, as now Starfire, Raven, and Beast-Boy went flying, Robin on his cycle, While Cyborg gives a ride to Paradox that sat in the front, and Crow who sat in the mid section on the back seat in the T-car.
It was the same museum with the same slade-bots just broken in.
Beast-Boy: [puzzled "Uh, dude since when did Slade have a one track mind?"
Robin & Paradox: [serious/unison "This isn't like him."
It was odd that Slade is repeating the exact same tactics.
Crow: [strategical "If it is a trap, Then it is most probable that the trap is design for all of us to be their at once, and due to Slade's intelligent, it is very possible probability. In conclusion, we should at lest dispatch in two groups, one to scope the situation, and the others would focus in responds of a trap."
Robin: [drawn to agree and respond quickly "uh? Good idea, Paradox, Beast-Boy, Starfire, and,[unsure Crow will go in first…"
Robin still have no idea of Crow's capability.
Crow: [daunting "Raven shouldgo, in my stead."
Paradox: [excited and ready to go "Alright that settled then, let go before they get away!"
The Titans agreed, although this is the first that Robin took the sidelines and not leading the charge. The Titans went in with Paradox leading at a fast pace, while Robin and the rest lagged behind keeping a close watch. Paradox started an assault till one of the slade-bots did a back-flip kick at him away.
Then the face plate armor fall off that slade-bot, showing a pair of vividly glowing green eyes; as the rest of the armor came off, it wasn't a robot, but a dark brown skin man appeared not very tall, in his early twenties, and slightly muscular that more lean and flexible, and short messy dyed grass green hair, with his natural dark brown show at its roots.
He was wearing a tattered neon green jacket with the sleeves rip off, worn-out black and silver gauntlet, shabby dark green baggy pants, and black athletic shoes. He had green swirls and stripes pattern tattooed on every surfaces on his skin, three spike are piercing at each eyebrow, at his hands of his knuckles and finger tips had sharp metal spikes through his gloves.
He had a firm pose that showed he has possessed a great experience as a skilled fighter. Through his eyes it showed an icy calmness of great intellectual wisdom.
Crow: [stated "If Slade was able to get him to work with or for him, I will be very impressed of his capabilities."
Robin: [curious "You know him?"
Crow: [monotone "He is either a genius or psychotic, more difficult to handle than Slade in my opinion."
Robin: [bewildered "What! And what do you mean either?"
Before Robin continued, Crow's hand was inch in front of Robin's face, Crow was blocking a punch as well as he returned a punch back at the new foe.
The enemy mange to dodged the blow in a dance style, and now centered in-between the two group of Titans.
Cyborg looked back in forth the distance in were the foe was a seconds ago.
Cyborg: [yell in confusion "How did get over there!"
The foe chuckled that then developed into a psychotic high-pitch laughter. His posture changed dramatically into a well loosen-up drunk stance, that he looked like he was going to fall to the ground. His green eyes stared to glow, as his eyes were being widen and dilated, that gave a look of insanity and evil down to the soul.
Crow: [normal monotone "His name is…" Then was cut-off by the shout of the enemy.
?o?: [Hysterical "Keith Hazard the name, and chaos is my game! If want to stop me[dead serious you'll have to kill me." As he started to hum his laugh, the Titans were stunned by Keith's statement, all except Paradox and Crow who started to attack.
Keith rolled with the punches quite literally, of all the hits doesn't faze him at all, and retaliate instantly striking back at Paradox and Crow, blow for blow. The fighting style of Keith in battle is Drunken Monkey Kung-Fu with some body smash blow (Head butts, Tackles, body slams, and some other wrestling moves).
Crow fighting style is direct as well in his counter measures, so similar use of Mantes Kung-Fu, Aikido, and even the evasive tactics of Fencing, though his movements a seems jerky, and constrain from full motion.
Meanwhile the Titans began to fight with the actual Slade-bots, still had some difficulties defeating those robot fighters. Cyborg got dents on mechanical parts form the slade-bots sheer force of their strikes, Starfire develop some bruise form the robots assaults, Beast-Boy received burns by the lasers guns, Raven taken shock waves and mental strain of the force of the slade-bots ramming her shield, and Robin with bruise and cuts of his own, started to running out of gadgets to beat the robots. The walls of the building were received massive damage from the battle, as well as the floor was smash beyond recognition, and the roof seem to be ready to fall at any moment.
Keith appeared behind Paradox and stabbed him on the back of his head with a dagger. Paradox fell and stayed on the ground.
The Slade-bots retreated, as now the Titan looked and saw what happen to Paradox with the shock of horror in their eyes. Suddenly Keith nearly instantly after ramming the one side of the wall to the next appeared above Raven, as Keith is ready to strike her as the roof came crumbing down…
