Chapter 2: This is my life.
Location: Titan Tower
Time: 2:30 PM
Raven, feeling groggy, sat up in her bed. She knew she was in her room, but she couldn't remember what happened after the fight with Iorn Fists. She tried moving her legs, but they felt stiff. She moved her hand to her forehead and felt a bandage there.
"You're up. Good." Said a voice next to her. She turned to her side and saw a 15 year-old kid with black hair and glasses next to her in a chair. In his hand was a cup. "Tea?" he said. "Yes, thank you." Raven said as she took it. She sipped from it and said" Do I know you?" "You don't, but I do" He said as he got up and went to an intercom. He pushed it and said into it, "Robin. She's up." "You were nearly barbecued in that fire," he said," I got you out and I was nursing your injures." Raven started to remember. "What were you doing there anyway?" she asked.
He said" I work there for a part time job. I was moving some barrels when I heard noise. I saw the rocket hit the tank and you getting thrown a few feet back." I scooped you up and got you out of there. By the way, the names Taylor." " My name's Raven." Raven said. " I know." Taylor said. " Do you know everything?" She asked. " I wish I did." He sarcastically remarked and started to laugh. Raven started to laugh to, but caught herself, stopped, and blushed. " I meet your friends. They allowed me to look after you. Your friend Starfire nearly hugged me to death." Taylor said. Raven said," She does have a tendency to do that." As she took another sip of tea, she notice a tattoo on his left palm. It was a gold star with a sword and an olive branch crossed behind it. "What's that?" Raven asked pointing to the mark. "Oh, that," he said looking at it," I don't know. That's was slapped on me when I was born. I keep it since it looks pretty cool and ,for some reason, it won't come off."
Just then, the door opened and Robin walked in. " You felling okay, Raven." Raven shook her head in replay. Taylor said, "She's lucky. She suffered a sprained ankle and a slight concussion, but she'll be fine." "I can't thank you enough" Robin said and shook Taylor's hand." "Least I could do. This city doesn't deserve to lose such an amazing hero." He looked over and smiled at her. She blushed yet again.
"By the way, I didn't get much about you," Robin stated, " I looked you up in the city records, but I couldn't find much about you." Taylor looked at him sternly and said" Then why don't I tell you about my life, if you keep it secret." Robin and Raven both said" Sure" Than take a seat." Robin went over to a chair and sat down. " My lives full of oddities and problems," Taylor said," but I'll give you the straight facts. I was born in San Francisco and had a great live. My father was an owner of a car repair shop and had my family living in the lap of luxury. But as I grew older, I become suspicious. He had a decent salary, but how could he buy himself a $60,000 Ferrari, a $7,500 Rolex watch, and a $4,000,000 helicopter. I kind of forgot about it, until that night. I was coming home from a party and went inside my house. I called to my family, but no answer. I turned on the lights and saw the bodies of my father, mother, brother and sisters, dead and riddled with bullet holes. From a file I read in his office, it turns out he was a hitman for the Mafia and he was sick of his work, so he rated out the family he worked for, getting them in jail. The brother of the mob leader found out and had my family killed for rating them out.
"I'm sorry." Raven said respectfully." That's what they all said. I ran out of the city that night and soon found myself here. I was picking food out of a trash can near a sushi bar when I was stopped. I met an old Japanese man called Evo Suzuki. Married and with no children off his own, he took me under his wing. Turns out, he used to be part of a top secret ninja organization for the Japanese government when he was younger. He moved to America, married, and opened up a Sushi bar, but business has been slow, so I take another job to support them. He trained me in the arts of TA-con- cha, the ninja art he took, in his spare time so I could defend myself. I was also taught sword combat, stealth, and target shooting.
" With guns?" asked Robin." No, with..." Taylor started put soon trailed off. "Look, I've got to get going. I'll probably see you two in the future. Later. "Taylor finished and went out the door. "Bye" they both said as he left the room. It was then that Robin notice Raven was looking out the door still. "Do you like him?" he asked. Raven replied" Yeah he seems nice." " Well you better get some rest. I'll sent some food up later." Robin left the room, but stopped and said, "This guy saves you more often, we might have a new team member due to your own will." He remarked. And with a smile, he left a room. Blushing like crazy, Raven said" What's that suppose to mean?" She then laid down, still thinking about him.
After saying goodbye to the other members of the team and getting a ride from Star, Taylor looked back at the tower and whispered under his breath, "If only you knew the rest." And as he turned around, he reached into his side pocket and felt the black glove he had in there.
That's chapter 2. This guy seems pretty suspicious, yeah? Chapter 3's coming soon, so keep those reviews coming. See you later.
