Chapter 2: Blue Who??!
Morning came and it was time for Gelasio's routine scar check-up. He had a bump the size of Mount Rushmore where the girl had blasted him. He also noticed a deep scar where cone head's weapon had punctured him. " They must have been a gang of villains," he thought he thought aloud. He finished dressing and headed downstairs for breakfast. While he was eating, his dad was looking at the newspaper. Gelasio looked up and noticed an ad placed by a group named the Teen Titans. It read: Calling all superheroes! Your chance to join one of the most elite task forces in the galaxy is here. We are a profit free organization committed to saving lives of citizens. We are holding tryouts at our building, a "T" shaped tower in Jump City Harbor. Anyone with superpowers can come and apply for this full time job. Costume is preferred but not required. I'll see you there! -Robin. Gelasio stared at this with interest. "Falcons fly alone," he muttered.
"What son?" his dad asked.
"Nothing," he replied. But it wasn't nothing. All day at school, it gnawed at him and by last period, it had eaten a hole through his mind. Finally, curiosity got the best of him. " I'll just take a look," he decided. He flew all the way to the harbor. He landed on the island and knocked on their door. The green elf kid answered.
"Hey, where's our pizza?" he asked.
"Is the man of pizza here?" asked a cheery girl.
"No," replied Gelasio." I'm here for the tryouts. Is Robin here?" he questioned. Suddenly, he realized who they were. Memories flooded into his mind. He felt sick.
"Come in," Robin said. He felt like taking off, but they didn't appear to recognize him and the girl next to Robin had an inviting look in her eyes like they don't get company often. "You're the first to try out," declared Robin. He led him to a large room with lots of couches and a huge $$ TV (excuse my dirty mouth. I'll go get some Orbit:). "So what's your name?" asked Robin.
"Gelasio."
"No, your –um—hero name," said Robin.
"Oh, right," Gelasio said nervously. He felt like 3-day-old road kill and there were hawks all around him. "I'm the Blue Falcon," he said proudly.
"Blue who?"
"You can just call me Falcon," he said to every one around him.
"Ok," Robin said." This is Starfire," he said pointing to a girl who looked ready to build sand castles on a beach.
"Hi,"she said shyly.
"I' m Cyborg" said a dark skinned half-robotic human.
"And you?" Gelasio asked the gothic looking girl.
" Raven," she said emotionlessly. A green bird who had been watching them transformed into the elf kid.
"I'm Beast Boy, the best one here." He said imitating Robin's voice. He quickly shut up after a cold glare from Robin.
"And of course I'm Robin," he said unenthusiastically (big word :P). He was about to ask Gelasio's abilities were when suddenly an explosion rocked the city." What the #&!! Was that?" Robin shouted (Orbit). "Titans, go!" shouted Robin.
"What about me?" asked Gelasio. "It would be best to see your abilities firsthand," he said.
A/N: Orbit cleans another dirty mouth : ). N-E-Ways, stick around cause this next chapter actually has a fighting scene where you learn a bit more about the Blue Falcon's past. I have a lot of time on my hands so I like update every other day. Coming soon: Chapter 3, The Falcon, the Robin, and the Wizard. R&R
