The new guy:

Chapter 1: the fun begins

"Titans! GO!" Robin yelled as the Teen Titans once again battle Johnny Rancid. Rancid threw a table knocking Beast Boy into Cyborg and knocked them both down Raven began to say her classic spell but didn't even get done saying Azarath when Rancid grabbed her leg and flung her into a wall. Robin and Starfire attacked next this time successfully, hitting him square in the chest with some star bolts and a swift kick to the gut. Rancid stumbled back after the attack and in doing so he flipped a table with a pizza on it to the ground. The young man sitting at the table stood up and looked down at the pizza, " I was going to eat that…you should say sorry…." he kneeled down picking up the pizza pan, rancid looked at the man briefly then punched him in the face. The man turned his head to the side but otherwise didn't move. He turned his head back his eyes narrowing, "that wasn't very nice, you should…" rancid cut him off by throwing another punch but this time the man held the pizza pan up so rancid punched it instead. He shook his head and dropped the pan then sighed, "If you try that again I'll have to hurt you…." Rancid threw another punch, the man turned to the side and leaned back dodging the hit then wrapped his arms around Rancid's and turned putting his back into Rancid's chest and bending forward throwing Rancid over his shoulder and into a brick wall knocking Rancid out and cracking the wall. He winced, "opps…too much power…heh…" the man shrugged and looked back at his ruined pizza sighing, "man I was hungry too…oh well, no sense crying of spilt milk…or pizza in this case" He chuckled some and turned to find Robin, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy staring at him. He blinked and looked at them for a moment "what? He attacked me first, self defense…." Robin walked toward him and held out his hand saying, "actually good work, I'm Robin…" he blinked and reached out shaking his hand, "man your parents named you after a bird…tough break…." Beast boy broke out laughing as robin calming spoke again, "no that's not my real name is my alias as a crime fighter…" he raised an eyebrow and nodded some, "oh I see…so um…. Who are you guy exactly?" they all exchanged glances then robin spoke, "We're the Teen Titans" he pointed at Starfire saying, "this is Starfire, we all just call her star for short" he pointed to Cyborg, "That is Cyborg we call him cy sometimes for short" he then pointed to beast boy, "that's Beast boy, we mostly call him BB" lastly he pointed to Raven who was already in the T-car waiting to leave, "and last but not least that's Raven…. Just call her Raven…." he nodded slowly, "mhm, ok…. Well I'll just be going now…." he began to turn away when robin grabbed his shoulder, "Hey hold on a sec, I was wondering if you'd perhaps like join us, you certainly have the skills…" he shook his head some, " nah, I'm not that good really just a few moves here and there…. Besides I don't have any powers…." Robin chuckled some, "neither do I, come on, just give it a shot?" Starfire floated over and grabbed his hands shaking them saying, "oh please you must! We like new friends, with the sharing of the secrets, and the feast of rejoicing!" he blinks some and looked around at everyone and sighed, "ok I'll give it a shot, but don't expect much…" Robin smiled, as did everyone else, excluding raven of course. Robin nodded some and took star fires hand, " me and star will fly back the rest of you can just ride back in the T-car…" cy and bb nodded and head toward the car, after a moment the man followed. Bb turned around walking, " so what is your name anyways?" he chuckled some, " oh yeah forgot to tell you guys…. My name is Jax Darius Striker, Just call me Jax…." bb nodded and got into the car behind the drivers seat meanwhile Jax got in the other side. Raven looked at him briefly then looked forward again without a word.

They drove back to the tower and got out of the car, Raven of course went straight to her room while bb and cy began playing games. Jax watched them for a few minutes then robin came out and went over to him, "hey, follow me, I'll show you to your room…I'm sorry I forgot to get your name…." Jax chuckled some, "Jax, my name is Jax…" robin nodded some, " ok Jax, follow me…we'll only give you a spare room for now, once you pass the field exam you can get an official room…" Jax nodded and followed him as he lead him to one of the small spare rooms, it was bare aside from an alarm clock a bed and a monitor on the wall beside the door. Jax went in and robin left, Jax laid back on his bed for a moment then sat up taking off his black jacket and smoothing out his gray t-shirt and black baggy cargo pants then laying back again his dirty blond hair shifted somewhat as his dark green eyes moved about the room, the bed was a little small for him seeing as how he was 6 feet tall but it didn't bother him at all. He closed his eyes briefly but was awaken shortly afterwards by a soft but firm knock on the door. He sighed softly and sat up saying, "who is it?" there was a pause then in a flat monotone voice came in reply, "its Raven…Robin wants me to go over the field test with you and give you a tour of the tower…." he could hear a hint of annoyance in her voice. He sighed some and stood up grabbing his coat and putting it on then opening the door, "ok…. Lead the way Rea…" she stood there for a moment then turned and started walking, "don't call me Rea, BB and Cy call me Rea cause their my friend you are not my friend…" he shook his head some and followed after her as she showed him all the main rooms such as the living room, the gym as well as where everyone's rooms were. Finally after the tour was done she led him outside to the training grounds. Jax looked around briefly then walked over to the white starting line as Raven went to the control panel and said, "I'm going to put you through a basic training run, just get as far as you can…." Jax nodded and waited until the light turned green then began running toward the finish line, the first obstacle were flying disc, at first Jax tried dodging them but they just came back each time no matter how much her evaded them. He smirked and crouched waiting then as a disc sped toward him he leapt into the air and landed atop the disc, he saw the other three discs approaching from several sides at the last second he jumped off the disc to the ground rolling as he hit the ground just as the disc hit each other and blew up. He didn't have time to rest however as the laser cannons raised and began firing, he ran forward jumping from side to side dodging the beams then finally jumped kicking one of the cannons to the side causing it to shoot two others then he leapt into the air and spun around kicking the last cannon and literally kicked it so hard the head of the cannon ripped from its place. He didn't stop for a moment as the last obstacle rose up, massive walls rose up on all sides and began closing in on him, but once again he didn't stop for a second he began jumping between the wall until he reached the top then jumped and landed on the finish line. He turned to find Raven looking at him with an arched eyebrow but before she could say anything Robin spoke up from where he had walked up behind her, "that was impressive, where did you learn stuff like that?" Jax chuckled a bit and replied, "a little a little there, ya know, you learn to survive however you can…" Robin nodded some and went over to him offering him a handshake saying, "well pending a field performance and a back ground check you're a titan as far as I'm concerned, welcome to the team…" Jax nodded some and shook his hand, "um thanks…." he looked over to find Raven was gone but his thought were interrupted by robin, "come on I'll show you to your room" Jax nodded and followed him back into the tower then to his new room which was empty aside from a bed, a desk and dresser, he saw his backpack on the bed and assumed someone had moved it for him. He turned to Robin and shook his hand after which Robin left. Jax went into his new room and went to his backpack taking out his lap top and setting it on the desk plugging it up then hooking up his internet afterwards her went to his bag and took out some books setting them beside his computer then taking out some other various herbs, candles, shells, gems and an large glass jar of sea salt he hid those in the bottle drawer of his dresser after unpacking his few cloths. Afterwards her went to his bed and laid down sighing, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
