The Teen Titans, along with Jetstream, sat around the large table in the main room of the titan's tower. After the Titans managed to convince Jetstream that they were not a group of mad scientists, he calmed down enough to relax with the group. It was about one in the morning and the teens sat around the table in various stages of dress after being shaken out of sleep by Jetstream's self-tour. Starfire and Raven were both still in their pajamas while Beast Boy was only wearing a pair of black shorts. Robin and Jetstream were the only two who were fully dressed, aside from Cyborg who didn't need clothes due to his robotic body. As Beast Boy helped himself to a bowl of ice cream, Robin set a plate of leftover, reheated waffles in front of Jetstream.
"Sorry about hitting you so hard, Jetstream." Said Robin as he sat down next to Cyborg. "When I heard Beast Boy yelling, I thought somebody had infiltrated the tower. Heh, I can get a little edgy when I'm up working late."
"Hey don't worry about man." Replied Jetstream through a mouthful of waffles. "And you guys can call me Jet, all my friends back home do."
"Oh ok." Said Starfire. "So where is home for you?" Jet paused mid chew and tilted his head to the side.
"I-I don't know." He stuttered as his brow furrowed. "I can't remember." There was an awkward pause and for a moment the only sound in the room was Beast Boy slurping his ice cream.
"What do you remember?" Asked Robin curiously. Jet swallowed his mouthful of waffles and thought for a moment.
"Not much." He replied, eyes downcast. The room fell into another awkward silence.
"Aw, don't let it worry ya." Said Cyborg. "I'm sure it'll come back to you. I mean, you were nearly dead this morning, your brain probably just needs a little while to reboot.
"Yeah, yeah I guess you're right." Jet sighed as he started to eat his waffles again. "So what do you guys do?" He asked. "Like, you all just live in this tower together?"
"Nah dude." Laughed Beast Boy as he lifted his head out of his ice cream bowl. "We're the Teen Titans." He put his hand on his hips and puffed out his chest proudly. "The coolest group of superheroes in the whole world." He boasted as ice cream dripped off his chin.
"Superheroes?" Asked Jet. That sounded very familiar to him.
"Well, more like heroes in training." Explained Robin. "We look after Jump City and keep the criminals in check while we train to be better heroes." Jetstream's head suddenly perked up as he was hit by a sudden, very vivid, memory. He remembered himself flying, moving the air to keep himself afloat. The sea rolled below him and the wind whipped through his hair. He tried to concentrate on the visual. But as quickly as the memory had come upon him, it slipped away.
"What is wrong?" Asked Starfire. Jet snapped out of his daydream and looked around at the Titans.
"Powers." He said once to himself and then again to the group. "Powers. I have powers."
"Really?" Asked Cyborg with a raised eyebrow. "Like what?" Jet set down his fork and slid back from the table. He willed the air around himself to move and soon Jetstream was floating above the Titan's heads. Starfire rose from her seat and joined Jet in the air.
"Marvelous!" She said happily as she clapped her hands. "You do have the super powers."
"How do they work?" Asked Raven, looking up at Jet suspiciously.
"I can move air around however I want." Explained Jetstream. He ran a hand through his black hair and scratched his head. "I can't remember anything past that."
"What about your glasses?" She asked quickly. Jet's face darkened as he slowly floated back down to the ground.
"What about my glasses?" He responded in a serious tone. Robin saw what was happening and tried to but in.
"Raven, I don't think this is the time-" Robin was cut off by Raven standing up quickly and placing her hands on the table, leaning towards Jet.
"You freaked out on me when I got near your glasses!" She exclaimed as she pointed at Jetstream. "And there's something unnatural about them, I can tell." Jet's body language turned from jovial to downright sinister in an instant. He placed a hand on the table and slowly pointed the other at Raven, mirroring her stance.
"Listen to me, closely." He growled, light reflecting off of his wide lenses. "I like you guys, you seem like nice people so I'm going to tell you upfront. You never want to see what's under my glasses. It's maybe the one thing I remember very clearly, and it is almost never a good thing when my glasses come off." Jetstream and Raven stood poised across the table from each other in a standoff. The tension in the air was palpable, and the other members sat around the table in an uncomfortable stillness. Beast Boy shrank back into his chair and Starfire slowly drifted down behind Cyborg, using him like a shield as she peered over his shoulder. Just as the silence was becoming too much to bear, an alarm cut through the air. Shocked out of their trance, the teens turned to the large monitor against the back wall as it lit up. A live feed from the security camera of the city bank flashed up on the screen. Smoke covered the majority of the building, but quickly dissipated into the air. The entrance to the bank had been blown open, and masked men with guns were quickly filing inside.
"Titans trouble!" Shouted Robin over the alarm. "Suit up and move out, on the double!" The Titans jumped from their seats and began to quickly move towards the door. Robin stopped as the others kept moving and turned back to Jet. "Jetstream, come on!" He yelled with a wave of his hand. Raven screeched to a halt and turned on Robin.
"He's coming with us?" She snapped.
"You want me to leave him here alone?" He retorted. Raven threw a dirty look at Jetstream and it seemed like she was going to say something else. But after a moment she turned and flew out the door with the other Titans. Jet began to jog after them, but was stopped as Robin placed a hand on his chest.
"I'm letting you come." He said, looking to the side. "But only because I don't trust you enough to leave you at our tower." Jet adjusted his glasses and nodded, he hadn't meant to come off so cold, but he had to get that message across. With that, the two boys ran out of the room, with the alarm ringing loudly in their ears.
