Chapter 3: Recuperation
Maximus woke up in the Titans Tower infirmary.
He groaned. "Where am I?"
"You are in Titans Tower, Warrior."
"What? Who are you? He said startled. A cloaked figure was in the corner of the room.
"My name is Raven."
"Mine's Maximus. What happened?" He yawned as he said that.
"You took a bad head wound. You have been out for three days."
Maximus paused to gather his senses. The Orc Army!
"There's an army of creatures called orcs approaching from the East. The city must prepare emergency defenses immediately" he warned the girl.
"We know. The city is under siege" she said grimly. "Are you hungry?
"Starving!" Maximus bolted up.
Raven got up and went to the door. "Come with me."
"I must say, Titans, the food is delicious, your home is fantastic and the view is the best I have ever seen." Maximus said as he looked out the window.
"Thank you, friend Maximus. We do appreciate complements." Starfire responded.
"So, what brings you to Jump City?" Robin asked Maximus.
"Well, let's just say I had no choice."
"What were you thinking, facing those beasts on your own!" Cyborg shouted.
"I had to stop those catapults!" Maximus defended.
Robin agreed with Cyborg. "Still, no one should face those things alone."
"I had no choice. Before the city was attacked, I lived in a cave in the mountains." Maximus explained.
"A cave! Why not get a job and live in an apartment!" Beast Boy was shocked.
"I am not from this place, I am not even for this time! Oops" Maximus covered his mouth.
"What!" they all said shocked.
Maximus sat down. "Well, I suppose I would have had to tell you sooner or later. Better sit down. This could take a while.
