"Xīrù – Hū, Xīrù – Hū, Xīrù – Hū" I recited as he meditated trying to calm himself form the days annoyances.

"Xīrù – Hū, Xīrù – Hū, Xīrù – Hū, Xī- I would say this nice to see you but in know the only reason you'd take the time to visit me is to give me some task that supposedly saves the world."

"Indeed my young apprentice, I have a task that only you can accomplish." Clockwork said amused.

"Oh and what is it this time, someone important to the time stream is in danger, a village that needs saving, a ghost accidentally went threw a temporary portal back in time, or it a new threat to the time stream?" I asked in a bored tone.

"You are familiar with the group of heroes that protect this town for the past month." Clockwork asked but made it sound like a statement.

"What about them?"

" They are a powerful bunch aren't they?"

"Yeah they're powerful…powerful enough to cause more damage then the 'villains' they capture cause." I said with a hint of irritation in my voice. Clockwork chuckled lightly.

"As I recall you used to be the same way yourself."

"Thanks for reminding me." I replied remembering how reckless I used to be. "Is this conversation going anywhere?"

"Yes well you have come along way but not without someone to teach you, to mentor you on how to be better yourself in battle."

"So I take it that you want me to mentor the Teen Titans and help them to become better heroes." Clockwork only nodded in response.

"I would argue with you and tell you how I won't submit myself to that torture but my both know theres no point in arguing. I will remind you that I will fulfill this task my own way ill teach them everything they need to know but I'll teach them my way." I told Clockwork.

"I wouldn't have it any outer way my apprentice" Clockwork said turning back to the portal he had created upon entering. "Oh and it was good to see you, oh Great One." Clockwork teased over his shoulder.

"I told Frostbite to stop referring to me as the Great One." I muttered to myself.
