CHAPTER THREE IS HERE!
"Any idea why Batman asked us to meet here?" Robin asked impatiently while tapping upon his computer sited on his wrist. "Mmmbbhg hus mer d frew bammamub oufhtf her spart mass" Wally mumbled with a mouth full of chips before reaching further down into the bag for the last remaining crumbs.
"Chew first, talk second Baywatch". Artemis said rolling her eyes in utter disgust, while trying to keep her breakfast down. Wally gulped down the mouthful of food helping him to speak more clearly. "I said, maybe he's here to finally throw Artemis out on her smart ass" Wally's proud smirk could be seen from space up until Artemis gave him a brutal punch to the shoulder. Seeing Wally rolling on the floor in pain gave Artemis the greatest rush of pride she could ever wish for and a slight giggle from Robin.
"I am sure batman has a good reason that doesn't involve throwing any on out on their smart asses" Kaldur said cutting Wally off before he could shoot a poorly constructed comeback towards Artemis. The tapping foot of Superboy echoed in the control room making every one that bit more restless.
"Good you're all here" Batman strode from the hallway so smoothly he could have been gliding. Behind him a boy wearing worn out jeans, purple muscle T and a black leather jacket practically ran to keep up with Batman's great stride. The dark knight halted a few feet in front of the confused looking team before continuing. "Every one, this is Jason also known as Static, he will be your new team mate. Have fun getting to know each other" and with that said batman disappeared as fast as he appeared.
Every one just stared at the Jason who should have felt uncomfortable but stood casual, hands in jacket pockets and his head held high. "Wait I know you, you're the guy who trashed Gotham the other night" Robin shouted shooting an accusing finger in Jason's direction. "Yeah sorry about that" the look on Jason's face showed no signs of guilt but simple boredom. "You threw a car at me" robin mumbled under his breath "yeah sorry about that too, I wasn't really in my right mind".
The confused blinking stares were cut off by Megan's loud "welcome" shriek before flying past everyone to greet the new team member. Jason accepted the hand held out in front of him shaking it with a firm grip. Megan's first move prompted the other members into a greeting frenzy. Jason couldn't remember ever shaking so many hands in one day. "Welcome Jason my names is Kaldur, this is Conner, Wally, Megan, Artemis and I believe you already know robin". Kaldur gestured at each hero with his hand before stepping back a few feet to rejoin the group.
"So Jason why don't you tell us a bit about yourself" robin said with a large impish grin on his face. The boy wonder was way too perky for Jason's liking but this was something he was going to have to put up with. 'Wow this guy is hot' Artemis said to Megan telepathically, Artemis knew by now that Megan liked to keep tabs on what her earth sister was thinking. 'Is there a time when you aren't thinking about hot guys?' Megan sent back. 'Yeah when I'm alone with Wally' Artemis's reply caused a small amused grunt from Megan who in turn got some confused looks sent her way.
"Well there's not much to tell really" Jason wasn't one for revealing his life story, but he knew if he was going to stay on this team and earn their trust he would have to break a lot of his personal rules. "Come on, in laymen's terms, tell us about your life" Wally said after flashing off to grab another bag of chips. "well I was born in England; I was abandoned in New York by my parents when I was six, lived on the streets with my brother for a few years before I sent him to prison and iv been alone on the streets ever since" 'wow did I just say all of that?'
Shocked looks filled the control room. Ok now Jason was feeling uncomfortable and he didn't like that, he felt like running. "Uhm… okay your life sucks" Wally received a very painful elbow to the side from Conner that sent him on a collision course for a wall for his little comment. "What I think Wally was trying to say is uh…" robin couldn't think of his next words, at a loss for words he resorted to rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably. "Yeah my life sucks, it's not really news to me" Jason said nodding his head slowly.
In an attempt to relieve the tension Superboy asked "Well uhm, how did you get your powers?" the question peeked the teams interest as they stepped closer to get into the story telling atmosphere, even Wally got caught up in the atmosphere as he sat on the floor, legs crossed food at the ready. "I don't really know actually, I think was just born with them, there's never been a big event that could cause them and no one in my family has abilities" the look on every ones faces showed disappointment after expecting a great, interesting story. "Sorry to disappoint" Jason said after noticing the disappointment spread across every ones faces.
"Maybe you could show us what you can do in the training room?" Artemis suggested. "Huh ok, lets go". That said Jason spun on heels ready to leave.
