The Sixth Sense
Chapter 2: Discoveries
"You have what?" Starfire asked.
"It is what people describe as the ability to see ghosts and spirits!" Shadow said proudly (hehehe).
"Wow, you seem smart" Pyro said.
Shadow just shrugged.
"So what else can you do?" Pyro asked.
"Well could you hold still Starfire?" Shadow asked.
Starfire just sat there. Shadow threw a punch. Pyro shrieked. Starfire expected some sort of pain but didn't feel a thing.
"How did you do that?" Pyro asked with a terrified look on her face.
"I can go through stuff…" Shadow started.
Pyro carefully reached her hand out and touched his. She felt it.
"…when I want to" Shadow finished.
Pyro pulled her hand away and blushed.
"Anything else?"
Shadow looked out the window. Moving green energy seemed to wrap his hand. He shot it out the window.
"That's called ectoplasm energy," Shadow said, "When you get your powers, you check about it, right?"
"Yeah, that's true" Pyro said, "How did you get your powers?"
Shadow looked down to the floor. "It's a long story" he said. "It all started when I was six. My parents were all interested in ghosts, aliens, and other stuff. Especially ghosts. They started making a device to make spirits seeable. As I grew to 8, they finished. We all got excited. We huddled around the device and my dad turned it on. There was a huge flash. When the flash ended, I actually saw a ghost. At first I thought it worked, until I saw my parents lying dead on the floor," Jason looked down and wiped tears off his eyes, "I learned that the device turned on what seemed to be my sixth sense. I stayed in an orphanage for a couple of years until I got mad. I ran away. As I grew even more, I learned that I didn't only have the sixth sense, but I also had another power, which is my flight. About 1 year after I learned I could fly, I learned I can also go through stuff when I almost got hit by a truck and I can shoot blasts of ectoplasm energy when I saw a snake. And that brings me here."
Everyone was quiet for a good while.
"Wow!" Pyro said, "That must be tough"
"Yeah, it is" he replied.
The boys walked in.
"Hey what's going on?" Robin asked.
"Whose this guy?" Beast Boy asked.
"His name's Jason, just call him Shadow" Pyro said.
"What happened?" Robin asked.
They explained everything, even Shadow's story and powers.
"Wow!" Robin said, "Well you're welcome to stay with us!"
"Really?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah!" Robin said.
Shadow's living there now. What's gonna happen?
