Chapter 2: Questions and Answers
"I am J.T. Blade," the youth answered as he bowed.
"Nice to meet you," Robin stated as he extended his hand for a handshake.
"Likewise, I'm sure," J.T. replied as he took Robin up for a handshake.
"So, what was with the pyrotechnics?" Beast Boy asked.
"That is one of the powers I posses. I have complete control of fire," J.T. answered.
"What else can you do?" Raven queried.
"Hmm, let me think for a second," J.T. answered. Unknowingly to him, he started levitating! "Nope, can't think of anything else."
"What the hell do you mean?! You're flying," Cyborg said as he pointed to J.T.'s feet.
"Oh, well whadda you know? Guess I forgot about that," J.T. replied with some embarrassment in his voice.
"Listen, we can play 'get to know each other' back at the tower. Let's head home," Robin suggested. Everyone agreed in their usual tone. But they didn't leave until the police arrived and escorted the unconscious Dr. Light to prison.

Starfire was asking a million and one questions so quickly that J.T. had little or no time to answer. The questions were things like what J.T.'s favorite color and food were, how old he was, and where he was from.
"…What is your weapon made out of?" Starfire asked.
"It's a combination of mythril and orhalicum. By combining these ancient metals, I've created an unbreakable sword! My armor is made of the same stuff," J.T. replied.
"Orhalicum? Mythril? I thought they were myths," Robin commented.
"Oh no, they're quite real. They're just very rare. In fact, this bracelet is made of mythril," J.T. answered.
Finally, J.T. got a chance to ask a question.
Tell me, have any of you heard of a girl named Terra?" J.T. asked.
There was a dead silence when Terra's name came up.
"We've heard of her, but…" Beast Boy began.
"She's dead. She gave her life to prevent a volcano from destroying the city," Raven finished.
"I see. I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but is it possible we can go see her?" J.T. asked.
Robin nodded and said, "I think it's time we head back there."
