Chapter 2: Welcome New Titan
The Titans and Blaze finally arrived to the tower. He looked in surprise and disbelief that 5 teenagers could get this stuff. "How did you get all this it's so massive?"
Robin turned to him rubbing his neck "Well the city pays us to protect the town so we got a lot of stuff but we still have a budget of our own."
"I'm impressed with your home." Blaze looked in awe at the building. Cyborg and Beast Boy headed straight for the couch to play games. Starfire left the room for the moment and Robin began discussing about the tower with Raven behind him.
"Well did you get all that" Robin cut in finally after his long speech. "Yeah I got it. Your home is very impressive. I must admit that you guys got it good here."
Robin turned to Raven "Can you show him around the tower?" Raven eyes open wide and answered quickly "Sure, come with me Blaze."
Blaze followed as Raven showed him around. "This is Beast Boy's Room, This is Starfire's room. And this is the training room." "Wow you all have a training room."
"Yes we do, it is used so we can be ready for upcoming threats." Raven noticed that Blaze was completely intrigued about the tower. They entered the elevator and went through every floor until they came to Raven's room. "This is my room, no one is allowed in my room without my permission alright." "Alright I understand." Blaze said in a calm voice. "That means you have to knock for me ok." Blaze answered quickly "Sure."
Afterward Raven finally took Blaze up too the roof and turned to him. "Well that's the tour have any questions?" "Nope I think I got it all. Well maybe." Raven looked at him carefully as he went back to the main room and noticed a mark on his neck she thought was familiar but figured it was just a tattoo and shrugged it off. Robin came up too Blaze later on. "If you need to clean up there is a guest bathroom in the tower." "Thanks I will use it." Blaze smiled slightly. He immediately went to take a shower for the day. After he entered the Titans began to talk. Robin began first "Do you think he would want to stay here?" "Yes why would friend Blaze not stay?" Starfire replied. Cyborg looked at Robin "I wonder but he said he had some things to attend to right?"
Blaze began to undress for his shower and turn the water on with it on hot. "Well they are impressive. But for some reason I want to stay. Why?" He entered the shower with the water at full heat. "That's relaxing for once." "Maybe, I should stay but they will probably say no."
Meanwhile with the titans…
"So what does everyone think, should he become a titan? I think personally we should be careful. We don't want another incident like Terra." Raven looked up at Robin "Yeah he's right so do we trust him?" Cyborg cut in "I do at least." Robin looked over to Beast boy and Starfire "And you two, what do you both think?" Starfire answered first "Yes, we should let him join he is kind-hearted and will be good for the team." Beast Boy turned to Robin "Yeah, I agree with Star." Robin finally turned to Raven "And how about you Raven you're the only one that is left to answer that question?" She looked at everyone and finally after a long silence she answered "Yes I somewhat trust him." Starfire cheered in glee "Now he can stay." "Well that's up to Blaze now." Robin said with a grin.
As Blaze dressed "Raven kind of reminds me of someone but some how I can't place who." Blaze looked in the mirror as he finished suiting up. "Hey it could be me since the cloak is like hers." "No, maybe…nah there is no way." "Well time to get going."
As he exited Robin came up to him "Hey we all came to a conclusion and wondered…Do you want to become a Teen Titan? You don't have to answer right now but you can if you want to." Blaze looked completely surprised and all of the Titans were anticipating his answer. He stood there and finally gave in "Alright I agree I will join the titans. But only on one condition." All of the titans wondered what his bargain was. "And this condition is?" Robin asked with eyebrow raised. "Well, you need to help me gather my clothes and equipment." Everybody sighed in relief. "Ok well Raven can go with you." Raven looked at Robin with her trademark death stare. "Then Blaze looked towards Raven "You don't have to if you don't want to." Raven was startled by his words feeling a little guilty "No I will help you." "Alright, Raven if you do not mind?" Raven glanced at Blaze "Not at all."
As they left the tower Raven found that Blaze could also fly. Once they arrived to a cave, Blaze began pulling out all of his stuff.
Raven then noticed that his eyes were now black, pure black. And when he stood up they turned brown then red. "Blaze can I ask you a question?" Blaze looked towards her. "Sure" Raven pointed to Blaze's eyes "What is wrong with your eyes they keep changing colors?" Blaze answered sincerely "Well my eyes reflect the emotion I am having. So what is the color of my eyes?" She stared at him "Your eyes are blue." "Well that means I am at peace and calm." Raven turned back to the supplies "How long did it take you to find out that's what that meant?" Blaze continued to carry items out but answered "Well I was 10 when I finally noticed and experimented to find out."
Finally Blaze pulled out the last of the items and packed it. And he noticed Raven meditating as he stopped to look around. "So you meditate?" Raven opened one eye "Yes I do." Blaze motioned to her to come and began to survey over the items.
Raven and Blaze began to take all of the items back to the tower. Once they were done Raven left for her room and Blaze went to the roof to relax and talk with Robin who was training there.
After talking with Robin, Blaze sat on the roof wondering why they wanted him on the team. "Why did they want me? I guess I got my wish though. But after one day with them they already trust me?" Blaze turned to the sun setting on the horizon. "This is a beautiful sight, it reminds me of home and that makes me wonder more why they wanted me to join them."
Everyone else went to sleep and Blaze came back to the common room to do the same. Another day had passed but Blaze hoped that tomorrow was quiet and he would not need to fight.
