Notes: K, I personally thought the first part of this chapter was kinda boring, but picked up after a few paragraphs. Hope ya enjoy it!
ONE MORE THING! For the future battles involving the Titans and Jason, I'll be writing in third person, just just for the fact that it's easier.
Chapter 2
First Meeting
I arrived in Jump City on a cold winter morning riding on the back of an old pickup truck. The driver stopped and I jumped off and gave the driver a wave of thanks. He waved back and drove off. I looked around the city and saw a pizza place a few blocks down from where I was.
"First things first." I said to myself. "Find a place to stay."
I walked down the street, very aware that the people who passed me gave me nasty looks. I raised my arm and gave a sniff. It had been quite a while since I had a shower. A few days at least. And my clothes were dirty as well. I turned down an alley and walked towards the back. I found a hose near the back and quickly took off my clothes. I picked up the hose and turned it on full blast, hosing myself off, despite the freezing weather. I also hosed off my clothes. As soon as I hosed them off, I realized it was most likely a bad idea, seeing as I would probably be staying in the alley for the night. I put on the soaking wet clothes and walked out of the alley, receiving more stares from the passing population.
"Geez mister, you look cold."
I turned at the voice and saw a little boy standing near me.
I stared at the kid for a few seconds, unsure of what to do.
"GAHBLARGH!!" I shouted at him, raising my arms and making a face.
The small kid let out a terrified scream and ran off. Scaring the poor kid made me feel a little bit warmer as I walked off towards the pizza place, now receiving glares from the people that had seen what I did to the little kid. I arrived at the pizza place and walked in, ordered a large pepperoni pizza. The acne-infested clerk stared at me because I was dripping wet still. I sat outside on the top deck, just for the fact that no one else was sitting out there. My pizza arrived and I sat quietly eating it, overlooking the small park that was close to the pizza place. Then, I saw something interesting. There was a bank across the street that was being robbed. It appeared to be by some clownish looking man that was jumping around shouting at people. I stood up and walked to the edge to get a better view. I could hear what he was saying quite clearly.
"Hippity hoppo! Alakazumbo! You've just been robbed by Sir Saint Mumbo!"
I sighed loudly. I'd never heard such a bad joke before. Already I didn't like him. Another voice behind him rang out loudly with yet another bad line.
"Guess again, Mumbo! It's time to make you, DISAPPEAR!"
I sighed again, and then looked towards the voice of the speaker. It was a wiry looking teen in red and green with a small black mask. To both his sides stood five other teenagers. A small green kid, a frail blonde girl, a giant robot, a dark gothic girl and lastly a beautiful redhead with large green eyes. I stared at the blonde girl for a few seconds as the leader and Mumbo shouted stupid insults and puns at each other. There was something familiar about her…
"Titans GO!" The teen in red and green shouted.
I watched as the six teens charged the stupid-looking bank robber. He jumped from foot to foot, nimbly dodging the teenagers' attacks. This went on for a few minutes with the villain, Mumbo, simply dodging everything they threw at him, all the while shouting out stupid words and insults. I sighed one more time and lifted my hand. A blue glow enveloped my right hand and I shot a blue orb at Mumbo. The orb hit him squarely in the chest, knocking him back hard and fast into the wall of the bank. The money sacks he was carrying fell to the ground, spreading money in the cold winter air. I saw my chance to pick up some much-needed extra cash and leapt from the top deck of the pizza place, landing hard on the ground below. Before I could move towards the flying money, the redheaded girl flew towards me and landed in front of me, blocking my way.
"Hello new friend! You have helped us defeat the magic Mumbo!" She said enthusiastically.
"Uh…yeah. I sure did. Now if you'll excuse me…" I said, trying to move towards the money which was now being picked up and chased after by the bank's employees.
"Yeah, you really helped us out back there." Another voice chimed in. I turned and saw the Teen in green and red approach me. "My name is Robin." He said, holding out his hand.
I looked around and saw the other Teens walking towards us. I stared at Robin's outstretched hand and chose to ignore it. He gave me a strange look, but probably decided I was shy or some shit like that. He retracted his hand and made introductions as the rest of the team arrived.
"As I said, I'm Robin, this is Beastboy, Terra, Raven and Cyborg. And you've just met Starfire." He said, pointing to each of the Teens. "We're the Teen Titans."
I stood there for a few seconds, looking over the Titans, before settling my gaze on Terra. There was something very familiar about her. She was staring back at me, probably thinking the same thing. Before I had a chance to start talking to her, Starfire let loose with her questions.
"What is your name? Where do you come from? What is your favorite color? Do you have a place to stay? Have you been eating pizza? What else can your powers do? Would you like to be my friend?"
"Well, my name is Geoff." I said, surprised at all the questions, but not surprised enough to use my real name. "And if you'll excuse me, I really need to be going."
I started to walk away, but Starfire stopped me again.
"Do you have a place to stay? Please, you must come stay with us!"
"I have a place to stay. Now get out of my way." I said, roughly pushing her out of the way.
Starfire stumbled and would have fallen to the ground had it not been for Robin, who caught her before she hit the ground.
"HEY! She was just trying to be friendly! There was no need for you to do that!" He said.
I turned and glared at him. I saw out of the corner of my eye that the other Titans had tensed up, ready for another fight.
"Apologize." Cyborg said, his voice menacing.
"Fuckin' make me you out dated piece of shit." I said, feeling like a child the second the words left my mouth.
"Aw no he didn't!" Cyborg said, raising his arm, turning it into a cannon.
"Cyborg, no!" Robin shouted.
It was too late. I felt my anger rising, a blue glow engulfed my entire body, and I felt myself losing control of my powers. The blue glow began to look like a fire had sprouted out of my skin. I was dimly aware that Robin had shouted "Titans, GO!" but it didn't matter. I felt my powers lift me off the ground, and a beam of blue energy shot out of my chest, hitting Robin in the stomach, causing him fly back into the park. My powers went full circle and exploded, a bright blue light blinding everyone in range of it. I felt my powers leave me, letting me fall to the ground hard. I slowly stood up; feeling completely drained of energy. I looked around and saw the Titans on the ground, rubbing their eyes and moaning in pain. I stumbled into the street, barely able to keep my eyes open. I was in the middle of the street when I fell on my back, unable to walk, or stumble rather, any further. The last thing I saw before passing out was a black and pale orange mask looking down at me.
