Soaring through the air, Starfire spotted one of the plasmoids wreaking havoc on the street below. Descending in front of it, she addressed the creature, "I ask you to desist!"

The smaller Plasmus just looked at her and opened it's mouth, "RAAAWWWRRRGG!"

"Umm… please?"

The abomination spread it's arms and charged at her.

"Then I must vanquish you!" Starfire roared, flinging a pair of starbolts at it.

The emerald bolts connected, boring holes where they hit it's chest, but the holes quickly filled themselves up. Rearing up, the plasmoid let out a stream of toxic barf, knocking Starfire back and drenching her in green ooze.

"Ugh, this is most unpleasant." wiping the slime from her face, she righted herself and took to the air.

The monster began stretching it's limbs towards the Tamaranian, attempting to bring her down. Starfire dodged and weaved around the creature's attempts to grab her. I must try to end this quickly, there are more in the city and we require all of them to end the chaos.

"Raauugh!" focusing all her energy into her eyes she fired two deadly blasts at the small Plasmus, sending it flying down the street and rendering it an inert glob of goo. It would be most helpful if I can find a way to transport the Plasmus… Starfire scanned the area and spotted a model of an enormous plastic bucket positioned atop the roof of "Larry's Bucket O' Chicken."

"Most excellent!" Starfire cheered to herself. Flying over she ripped the bucket from the roof, "Tell Larry that I apologize for taking his bucket of poultry!" she called down to the people inside the joint, smiling apologetically with one hand behind her head. She then flew over to the remains of the plasmoid and scooped it up with the bucket.

"Star! You there?" Robin called over the Titan Communicator.

"I hear you, friend Robin!" Starfire replied into her device.

"I've been checking in with the other Titans, so far we have subdued ten of Plasmus' parts. What's your count?"

"You four have amassed ten pieces already? I am afraid I have only vanquished one just now…"

"That's okay Star! It isn't a contest, after all. Okay, so that should leave four parts left. Keep looking! Robin out!"

Starfire nodded, growing more determined, she flew onward.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The traveler clenched his teeth in frustration. Why haven't the Titans shown up? If they are really as good as people say, why are they not taking care of this? A horrible thought crossed the young man's mind. Something's wrong… something must have happened. He stood up from behind the rubble of his table and surveyed what was going on outside. The ooze monster was doing the same thing, surveying the area. It's focus fell upon a car stopped in the road, and the traveler's eyes followed. At that moment his heart leapt up to his throat.

Inside the car someone had left a baby in the backseat in their haste to get away from the monster. Maybe the thing won't be interested, maybe it will just move on, maybe the supposed "Titans" will show up. Dammit just calm down! It'll be okay… you don't have to do anything…

The monster began moving towards the car, it's sickly green eyes fixated upon the baby inside.

Come on… move away from the car… where the hell are this city's superheroes? Did I get my cities mixed up?

A gooey purple limb broke the windshield, letting the baby's screams out into the air.

The traveler clenched his teeth. Shit… I don't think I can do this. Taking a deep breath, the traveler flicked down his shades and summoned a strong stream of air to propel himself into the street, landing on the roof of the car. The monster reared back in surprise, after a moment it leaned in to leer at the newcomer. All the while the man in the duster just stood there in challenge, looking down at the slimy thing in front of him. "Get outta here," he spat.

The monster grunted in response and swiped the traveler off of the car. "Oof!" was all he could say as the air left his lungs. He pushed himself off the ground and dusted himself off, "Never dealt with something like you before…" he muttered. Without moving a muscle, the young man summoned a powerful blast of wind and directed it at the ooze monster, sending it careening backwards and onto the ground. It was now the creature's turn to pick itself up. The two began to circle each other, the monster with it's slimy limbs ready, and the young man gliding along on a breeze, his hands in his pockets. They struck each other at the same moment, the monster connecting with a powerful swipe to the man's face just as he motionlessly projected a supersonic blast of wind at the monster. The monster's swipe caused the traveler to hit his head against the side of a building. The last thing the traveler saw before blacking out was a flash of red amber, and purple descend from the sky…

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

An hour later, the Titans rendezvoused at the original scene of the crime and put Plasmus back together. Once all the globs were put in the same place they reformed to create the pale, thin, sleeping man that was Plasmus' true form.

"Good work Titans!" Robin said encouragingly, "Cyborg, isn't it your turn to bring him into the police?

"I'm on it! Let's go sleepy head!" Cyborg gently lifted the sleeping man off the ground and walked off.

"Alright team, let's head back to the Tower." Robin turned to go.

"Umm, friend Robin?" Starfire asked, raising a finger.

"What is it Star?" Robin asked over his shoulder, Raven and Beast Boy stopping to listen too.

"When I collected the last division of the Plasmus, I witnessed it's defeat by a peculiar being."

"What?" Beast Boy shouted.

"What kind of… peculiar being?" Raven droned.

"He was dressed as a citizen but appeared to be utilizing wind as a weapon, it was swirling about him and he used it to subdue the Plasmus."

"Really?" Robin raised an eyebrow, stretching his eye mask. "Do you know where he is now Star?"

"Yes, you see, the Plasmus defeated him as well, I believe he is still laying out on the street."

"Dude! Star! You left him in the street?" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"But I had to return the pieces of the Plasmus…" Starfire said timidly, looking at her feet.

"It's okay, you did the right thing Star, now let's see if he is still there. Lead the way Star." Robin said.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Back at the Titan Tower the youth was lying unconscious in the medical bay with Cyborg, Raven, and Robin standing by his bed in discussion.

"Tell me again what Star said he was doing." Cyborg said it like a question, crossing his arms.

"She said that he was using wind as a weapon against Plasmus." Raven said, sounding almost interested.

"Question is, who is he and why is he here?" Robin began to rub his chin in thought.

"Does it matter?" Cyborg asked.

"It could." Raven lowered her hood and looked at where the traveler lay.

"You're right, I mean, we don't know anything about him. City Hall said there were no applications applying for superhero status in the last month, and he obviously hasn't come to us asking to join the team. So what are his motives?"

"Looking at what he's got in his backpack, I'd say he's traveling, question is, is he coming or going? I mean, if he just came to the city, he probably doesn't know anything about the villains here, or us. Hell, it's possible he's just passing through." Cyborg shrugged.

"Then it's a good thing we found him, I suppose we'll find out when he wakes up. Let's leave him here and check back in an hour."

Shaking her head, "I'm not sure that's a good idea…"

"Why not Raven?" Cyborg cocked his head.

Robin looked at Raven with a mixture of suspicion and familiarity, "What do you know?"

Raven looked to the youth, "…Nothing, I just have a bad feeling about this."

Robin smiled, " Well, I-"

The conversation was interrupted by the Titan alarm going off.

Beast Boy poked his head into the room, "Dudes! There's a bank robbery! C'mon!"

Robin shrugged at Cyborg and Raven, "This'll have to wait, Titans, go!"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Uuuhhnn…" Opening his eyes, the young man was met by the sharp, painfully bright white light shining above him. Flipping his legs over the side of the medical bed, he took in his surroundings. To his right were three other beds like the one he was sitting on. At his left was a bunch of medical equipment, heart monitors, X-rays, IV tubes, and other things one normally finds in a hospital. Laying on a chair beside his bed were his shades, duster, and backpack.

He put on his duster and shades, as he lifted his backpack off of the chair, he noticed that the zipper was open. Someone's been through this… would hospital staff do that? He scratched at the long stubble on his chin, I need to shave… but more importantly, I need to get out of here. He looked to the window by the farthest bed, outside it showed the sun casting a warm, red glow over the bay, the water glittering like tiny rubies. Shit, slept through the day… I hate traveling by night. Sliding off the bed, he looked to the window once more. Why is the hospital by the bay? Shouldn't it be closer to the center of the city? Shit… where am I? Shrugging to himself, he shouldered his pack and opened the door, noting the high-tech button panel that made it slide open. Fancy… He was greeted by a dark, foreboding hallway. He hesitantly looked down both sides of the hall. This can't be a hospital… Where the hell am I? Taking a deep breath, he went left. Dammit, how am I supposed to leave this place? Walking past door after door, he finally decided to try one. Pushing the panel, the door swished open.

Turning on the light, the room turned out to be a rather messy bedroom. There were old clothes, food wrappers, sports equipment, and videogames strewn about the floor and piled against the walls and furniture. It smelt terribly of body odor. The traveler scrunched his nose and stepped cautiously inside. The furniture of the room consisted of a bunk bed, a dresser, some book shelves, a futon and a TV atop a set of drawers. What the hell? What kind of building has a mini hospital wing and a bedroom like this? His curiosity getting the better of him, the young man stepped over to the TV and inspected the game system plugged into it. This is an older one… He picked up some of the game boxes lying by it. Good taste in games though… some of these are classics! Turning to a bookshelf, he noticed that it mostly consisted of comic books. What a collection! I wonder who lives here? He shook his head as if to clear it. C'mon, focus! I got to get out of here…

Walking back out into the hall, he continued down it at a brisk pace. Turning the corner, the hall opened up into one gargantuan room. Whoa… The room's most prominent feature was the giant screen that took up almost the entire wall. The rest of the wall was comprised of glass and overlooked the bay. There was a very long couch facing the screen in a half circle, and other chairs and smaller sofas at the periphery of this… living room. Walking down the steps that led into the area, he marveled at the height of the ceiling; it could have rivaled that of some cathedrals! Wonder what else I can find here… His curiosity roused again, he opted to look down the hall opposite the one he had come from. It was identical in appearance to the one he first came out of. About halfway down the hall, he chose another door at random.

Sliding the door open, this room was lit by what little light remained outside, for the wall to his right was comprised mostly of glass windows. Regardless of available light, this room was… dark. Inside were objects like masks, a globe, strange statues and gargoyles. There was a large bookshelf built into the wall, but despite it being full there were more volumes of heavy tomes and scrolls strewn about the area. The floor, walls, ceiling, and most of the stuff in the room were either, black, purple, or dark blue. There was a large bed with a sort of… hooded overhang. Finally, there were shelves full of jars, vials, symbols, cups, stones and all manner of occult looking objects. This room is really cool… if a little dark. Stepping over to a pile of tomes, the one on top caught the man's eye. The Book of Nod! Haven't seen a copy of this in a long time… Picking up the book, he began to flip through it. Wonder what other books might be in here…

"What are you doing in my room?" said a voice in a low growl.
