Chapter 2: The Titans

The one man jet was flying low, making ripples in the water. Jace sat, sweating as he attempted to remove the bullet. Blood was starting to get all over his white cloths. He used his shirt to tie up the wound and stop its blood flow.

WARNING…WARNING FRIENDLY CRAFT LOCKED.

"What! ARGGG!" Jace grunted as he found the bullet, pulling it out much to his displeasure. With his bloody hands Jace started to tap the touch screen to see if there was anything he could do. Bullets started pelting the jet, earning some holes. Skimming the options, Jace went as fast as he could he found the speed dial. Listing the speeds Mach's 1 to Mach 5, pressing the 4 the jet started to go faster and faster, as the g-force started working on his face, a very tiny T started to climb onto the horizon.

UNKNOWN CRAFT APPROTCHING AT HIGH VELOCITIES!

The security system alerted as several people quickly ran to the common room. They saw a smoking jet quickly approaching the base of the tower, it was about to hit the water.

Rapidly approaching the T shaped tower, Jace started to panic. He went through the option menu to see if there was any landing gear, but only saw velocity and….weapons…

"Awww, now you give me weapons!" He yelled at the console, holding on the seat for dear life he felt something on the sides, a lever…he pulled.

A pod ejected from the approaching ship. "Who's that?" The green skinned teen was the first to speak. The pod skidded on the water and crashed on the island, still smoking. As a white parachute was seen as they saw a seat slowly flowing down.

"Bring whoever that is in, I need answers."

The boy was sitting in the interrogation room with Robin.

"Who are you? Why did you attack us?" The masked boy was sitting across from Jace in the interrogation room. Jace could feel his fiery gaze even through the mask.

Jace thought for a second. Danyellah wouldn't send him here if it wasn't for a good reason…. "Um…My name is Jace."

"Jace, what?" The colorful teen looked at him full of suspicion.

Jace stayed silent not knowing what to say except. "I don't know."

"Then where are you from?" Jace looked down the table in front of him, as he looked around the room. There was a small ventilation shaft and a double sided mirror.

"So where ever you came from, why were you running away?" Jace seemed to brighten up a little bit.

"It's complicated…but I get the coordinates to come here." Jace went into his right pocket to take out the note, but it was soaked in blood. Just noticing he looked to the bullet wound to see it already healed, and looked like an old scar.

"That's new." Jace thought to himself before looking back to the masked teen in front of him. As he took the paper, he glanced up to see the masked boy. The masked one grimiest as the paper was almost soaked in dried blood.

"So who sent you here? Why did they?" Jace started to look more troubled.

"I don't know…when I was escaping and a scientist gave me the coordinates, telling me where to go. I followed her directions, barely escaping, and as you can see I got shot." Jace pointed to the scared bullet wound.

"I see so you have powers. Artificial?" He asked more out of curiosity.

"I don't think so had them as long as I can remember."

"I see….well what was this scientist's name." Jace caught Robin looking at the mirror knowing what was going on, but curious.

"Danyellah Strongfield is her name, I've known her all my life." Jace said happy. But that soon turned to worry, wondering what fate befell her.

"Well Jace, I guess there is nothing wrong. No bad intentions. You can go." The masked boy turned around to leave the room Jace was about to do the same. That is until he looked down at himself. No shirt, covered in blood, blood splattered pants and no slippers, he had lost them after being ejected. Can't walk around like that.

"Ummm….hey do you have a shower, and some new cloths I can borrow?" He asked, trying not to be rude.

Getting out of the shower, he saw neatly folded clothes and undergarments. A black shirt, cargo shorts and black converse as it said on the box it was in. After finishing he looked to the fogged up mirror. He wiped off the fog seeing his reflection. Something he hasn't seen in a while. But, he realized something looking at his face, seeing Danyellah, looking at the resemblance. Finally hitting him like a rocket, while wondering what has become of her since his departure. She was his mother.

But then an even more horrifying thought came to him. How come the jets weren't hear, they just gave up? Deep in thought someone knocked on the door. A male voice sounded on the other side. "Hey man, you getting some food, we ordered a pizza!"

Feeling his stomach he realized that he had actually not eating at all, all day his stomach had growled. "Ya, sounds great."

Earlier…

The blue suited man was once again sitting at his office. A knock sounded at the oak door. "Enter." Danyellah was being held back by guards, her hair, disheveled and with clothes ripped as if in a fight.

"Not surprising to see that you're the one that let him go, but of coarse it was you, couldn't have your own son so deprived, he would turn out like the other one, would we?"

Don't you talk about him like that! He doesn't deserve a life like this, he needs to live. I've followed all of your orders but now, I'm done!" She started to struggle, as a guard punched her face. Blood started to form around her mouth as a red mark was on her cheek.

The man's expression was unchanged. "True you have helped us." The man got up from his seat to Danyellah looked him right in the eyes. "But unfortunately for you, your services are no longer required." He took out a revolver pointing it at her head dead center.

"Raymond, no you can't!" A click sounded.

"Wow, this is amazing! I forget, what is this called?" Jace said as he scarfed down the food. Every one looked completely amazed, and discussed.

"Uhh, its called pizza…" A robotic man speaking up.

"You've never had a pizza before?" Said the green skinned teen.

Jace started to calm down. "Well, no actually. They just gave me soup and a sandwich, with some water." He said taking another bite. As the group finished the group formally introduced themselves.

"My name is Robin I'm the leader." He said shaking his hand. "Next, is my second in command, Cyborg." The robotic man gave me a smile and nodded. "Over at the table is Raven." He pointed at a girl still sitting drinking some tea. "Beastboy, and Starfire." He then pointed to the green teen from earlier, and a girl he just met. Jace felt a little short because of how tall they were. Starfire flew up to Jace shaking his hand very roughly.

"It is so good you're here new friend, of whose name I have to know. Tell us, what may it be friend?" As she stopped shaking his hand he answered with a reassuring voice. "Jace Strongfield."

LATER…

It was around 7 pm, Beastboy was with Cyborg playing a video gamer, and Raven went to the roof, while Starfire went to her room to get something, Robin when up to Jace. Who was sitting on the stool around the kitchen. "Jace, you said you had abilities right?" Robin asked folding his arms. "Yea, why?"

TRAINING ROOM

Robin signaled Jace to go in the middle of the room. "Alright destroy all the targets. Training level one start." Robin commanded as he backed off.

Ready, Jace spotted 5 targets, black aura surrounded his hands as he fired a dark laser at the target,smoldering it along with quickly dispatching the rest. New targets popped up all around Jace. Powering himself up, he punched the target in front of him, earning a hole through it. Back flipping into an upside down axe kick on the top of the target behind him, smashing it. Finally round housing the remaining targets in a full whirl wind kick.

A metal plated figure holding a gun popped up right in front of him. Jace combos the metal, ending with a kick that knocked the metal down. Looking around Jace rubbed his hands, as they were red. "Owww…"Jace said to himself.

MAX LEVEL

Shocked at what he heard, Jace saw a machine gun firing at him. Running out of the way as more targets appeared Jace powered up again as everything went slower. Firing lasers at the targets and punching them as he passed by.

Having enough he stopped in his tracks putting up his shield. Still the machine gun was too much as the shield cracked. Putting out his right hand towards the machine gun as if grabbing it he clenched his hand, the machine gun was crushed by an invisible force. Ripping it out,he threw it at the last remaining targets. Dismissing his shield, he was sweating and breathing heavy.

"Not bad, anything else?" Robin sounded as he walked up to Jace. "Weapons, they trained me with weapons as well. Jace said lying down on something invisible.

"Well we will see tomorrow. But for now you can stay." Robin said walking to the exit. Jace jogged after him.

In the hallway the contained all of the Titans rooms, It was dimly lit onlythe sounds of Cyborg in his room working on something was loudly heard outside the door. Each room had there respective names on the door. Jace noticed another room named Terra. Not ever remembering meeting her and curious he asked.

"Hey Robin whose Terra? I haven't seen her yet." Robin stopped at a door with no name on it.

"She used to be a titan. She sacrificed herself and everything she had to save us." Looking to Jace. "

A lot like what your mother did for you." Jace took an interest in his shoes. "Yea, wait how do you…" When he looked back up Robin was gone, hearing the door slide closed down the hall.

Jace touched the door as it slid open. It was a large king sized bed with black carpet and white bed sheets. The window was the whole wall. Seeing the beautiful sparkling night city Jace whispered. "Wow." Jace was awe struck. But without even taking two steps an alarm went off.

Robin was seen running past the room, as everyone else followed. Beastboy was the last. "Dude we got to go, trouble in the city!" As if on queue an explosion was heard. The beautiful city now had a pillar of smoke coming out of it.

"What a long day…."
