Chapter 2: A Shocking Development
On the waterfront, someone was destroying everything from crates to ships and buildings!
"Well whoever this is, all he seems to be interested in is wanton destruction," J.T. stated.
"It doesn't make any sense! What's this guy's angle?" Robin queried.
Just then, the deconstructionist showed his face.
"All right, who are you?" Cyborg shouted.
"Heh, just call me Shockwave," the villain replied.
"If your intentions are destruction, then surrender now and I won't hurt you. Much," said J.T.
"Relax, I don't have any intention of hurting you," Shockwave called smugly. "I just needed to get you guys out here so we can talk."
"Then you should've just come by the tower," Raven stated. "What you're doing isn't the way to get a lot of friends."
"It's not like I have any friends to begin with," Shockwave responded. "Anyway, I think you guys had better watch your backs. And J.T. Blade, Terra and Raven better watch what they do with their powers."
"How do you know our names?" Starfire asked.
"You guys are the Teen Titans! Everybody knows you."
"Makes sense. But what did you mean by 'watch what we do with our powers,' sparky?" J.T. asked.
"That's the thing. You know I can control electricity, right? Well my powers just expanded by an uncontrollable level. I think it'll happen to you, too."
"So that's what the explosion was all about," Cyborg whispered to Robin.
"RRGH! NO! NOT NOW! NO," Shockwave shouted, holding his head.
"What? What's going on?" J.T. yelled to him.
"IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! GET AWAY NOW!"
"Titans, move," Robin called out. Just as the guys got out of the way, a massive explosion of electricity and wind seemed to come from every fiber of Shockwave's body!
"Whoa…" said Terra in pure awe. "Is that gonna happen to me?"
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Terra," said J.T. "No doubt Raven's wondering the same thing."
Everybody crowded around Shockwave to see if he was alright. Electricity was surging and sparking on his flesh, and he was surrounded by a purple aura.
"Shockwave, wake up," said Terra as she was going to touch him.
"Don't touch him! You aren't grounded. Besides, you might hurt him," shouted J.T.
"J.T.'s right. We need to get him to a hospital, NOW," replied Robin.
Everybody looked at Raven. She was a little confused at first, but she got the message. The message was to use her powers and move him to a hospital.
"The only place anywhere nearby with the equipment comaprableto a hospital is Titans Tower," said Starfire.
"She's right. Plus the hospital isn't capable of healing anyone with special powers," added Cyborg.
"Well then what're we standing around for? Let's get him back to the tower," said Beast Boy.
Raven teleported everybody to the med lab back at Titans Tower. When they got there, Raven collapsed!
"Oh no, not Raven too! Get another bed in here," Beast Boy shouted.
J.T. picked her up and laid her on the vacant bed on the left side of the room. They then put a rubber blanket over Shockwave. Though they didn't know exactly what to do, J.T. tried what he though would work.
