Dark Patriot

Snowday in June, part 1

Chaos begat the city this day. Buildings almost fell and people nearly died. The streets were empty and the citizens were in hiding. As for the Titans, they were stuck in a situation they were not quite used to. No one was in any real position to do much to aid the situation, outside of just whethering the storm they were in. A futile effort it wasn't, but it sure did look like it. The Titans had been split up through the city, finding each other and creating small groups as they met up. Clive particular didn't like the situation, and he cursed loudly while he huddled close with Raven and Blackfire to keep warm.

Clive: " And to think...I said don't open the door..."

Raven: " You always say that."

Clive: " And it keeps trouble away."

Raven: " Well, it wasn't a salesman like you said it would be."

Blackfire: " Oh, it's not so bad. I mean, atleast we're all together! I'm having a great time!"

An icy wind blew, causing the Titans to tighten their huddle. Blackfire was clinging all over Clive, who would usually try and break her grasp, but decided that they did need to be close to survive. Raven, who was on Clive's other side, shook her head and wished she wasn't in the situation.

Raven: " So...why can't Black do anything again?"

Clive: " He says it's not time to do anything yet."

Black motioned along the icy ground with his arms to the trio.

Clive: " He says that right now, no one's in any big trouble. Plus he doesn't like the cold."

Raven: " Well that's reassuring."

Clive: " Who'd have thought this stupid day ended up starting with a friggin knock on the door all extra early..."

That all happened much later in the day. But as Clive said, everything started with a knock on the door. Seven AM sharp infact, there was a loud knocking at the door to the Titans tower. Now, a knock at the door was strange to say the least...because someone would have had to cross the bay to get to the island they were on. Secondly, who knocks on doors at seven in the morning? A young woman continued to bang on the door till someone answered. Clive just happened to be up from an early morning food craving, wandering the kitchen almost aimlessly. Raven was sitting down, reading the paper with Cyborg at the table. As Clive sat down, the knock was heard.

Clive: " What the hell?"

Raven: " Someone's knocking on our door?"

Cyborg: " Man, it's seven in the morning...who does that at seven in the morning?"

Raven: " Atleast they have the curtousy to knock and not ring the door bell."

Clive: " Man, it's just a salesman...don't bother."

Cyborg: " What if it isn't a salesman?"

Clive: " It's always one! I'm telling you, my spider sense is tingling, and it says it's a salesman."

Raven: " Spider sense?"

Clive: " Come on, you don't read Spider Man?"

Raven: " Sorry, but I prefer intelligent publications."

Clive: " And that's why...nevermind, you're obviously just not cool enough."

Raven: " Whatever..."

Clive: " Hey! Where'd Cy go?"

The door opened, so Raven and Clive made their way to see who it was at the door. Cyborg stood over a young woman with very beautiful, long platinium hair. She was just a hair taller than Raven, but was about as pale in skin. She wore a red sweat shirt and short brown shorts. She smiled and took a bow when Cyborg answered.

Cyborg: " Can I help you?"

Girl: " Hello! You must be Cyborg from the Teen Titans! My name is Gracie Roberts, but you can call me Glacie!"

Cyborg: " Glacie?"

Glacie: " Yeah! Like Gracie, but with an L!"

Cyborg: " Ok...and what can I do for you Glacie?"

Glacie: " I'm here to join the Titans!"

Cyborg looked back to Raven and Clive for some kind of help on what to do next. Raven butt in between Cyborg, staring Glacie with her usual cold greeting.

Raven: " You want to be a Titan?"

Glacie: " Yes! Please!"

Raven: " No."

Raven pushed Cyborg back and began to close the door. As usual, someone put their foot in it, hindering her efforts.

Glacie: " Please! I would be a great help!"

Clive: " Just give her a chance Raven. Let's let the team decide. And since when did you become head honcho around here?"

Raven turned around and shot Clive a very nasty looked. Clive fell down and pretended to play dead. Cyborg opened the door fully for Glacie to come in. The 3 walked by Clive, though Raven decided it would be more relieving to step on him, making sure to dig her heels into wherever she stepped. Once off, Clive sat up laughing, getting back to his feet and followed them in. The two male titans prepared some breakfast for the new comer, and Raven showed a bit of interest in something to eat as well, so they just made a big meal for everyone whenever they would wake up. Robin would be the next person down from his room, still tired from the previous nights crime fighting. He greeted everyone, and Glacie as well, sitting down to eat.

Cyborg: " So this is Glacie. Say's she's got nowhere to go and would make a good addition to the team."

Robin: " Well...I'd like to see what you can do first. We don't really just take anyone obviously."

Glacie: " Oh, but I would make a great member! I know because I would try my best, and my powers rock!"

Robin: " So you have powers?"

Glacie: " Yeah! Check this out! Hand me a soda out of the cupboard."

Clive: " Ew. You want a warm pop?"

Glacie: " Hey! No lip, just do it!"

Clive: " Me-ow..."

Clive took a pop out and handed it her then handed it to Robin.

Glacie: " Here, for you."

Robin: " I don't like warm pop."

Glacie: " Just try it."

Robin: " Ok then. If you insist."

As soon as Robin took the can, he realized it was cold. Infact, it was really cold. As he tried to take a drink though, nothing came out. The soda inside was completely frozen. Raven shook her head and picked up her cup of tea. Glacie looked over to her and winked, freezing Raven's tea as she drank it. Spooking Raven, she let go of the cup, but the tea had frozen to both the cup and her mouth and tongue. Clive and Cyborg both got a great laugh out of it, seeing Raven try to pry a frozen cup of tea off of her face. After accomplishing said task, she made sure the boys would get their just desserts by levitating both of them and leaving them there, while she got up and left.

Glacie: " Wow, is she always so grumpy?"

Cyborg: " Yes and no."

Clive: " So how long till we get let go of?"

Cyborg: " That's a good question..."

Clive: " Crap in a sack..."

Terra entered the room not long after, taking a big yawn, then looking around for some food. After filling up a plate load, she turned to sit down, realizing there was a new comer there. She rubbed her eyes to see the new girl, and when she could make her out, Terra took a step back and shot a glare to Glacie. No one seemed to witness that ackward moment, and so, Terra left quietly, without having to make any explainations. The two hung there from that moment on until the early afternoon. Once everyone had gotten up and fed, Robin called a team meeting right where they were, since Raven was still insistant about not letting them go.

Clive: " Damn it Raven! I have to go to the bathroom! And if you don't let me go right now, I'm gonna make you regret it!"

Cyborg: " Come on Raven, you've had your fun."

She didn't dignify them any response. Blackfire floated around Clive, examining him as he was glowing black all over his body, except for his head and face.

Blackfire: " You gotta teach me how to do this some time Raven. I could have some uses for it."

Starfire: " What did you do to incur such wrath?"

Robin: " Now's not the time guys. Let them down Raven."

The pair dropped out of the air and onto their heads, making a loud thump against the ground. Cyborg got up and helped Clive to his feet. With everyone gathered, Robin spoke.

Robin: " Ok...so this here is Glacie. She seems to have powers over ice and cold. Now then, I've decided we'll do some combat drills later and see how she fares. Everyone alright with that?"

The general concensus was good, so the team began their trek to the training room. Too bad they didn't get out of the room before their communicators went off. Robin pulled out his first, seeing there was a problem at a bank closeby.

Robin: " Well, looks like we've got trouble Titans! You'll have to prove yourself on the field I hate to say, Glacie."

Glacie: " That's fine with me! Let me at'em!"

Robin: " Well, if all's settled, then let's go Titans!"

With the word given, they all moved out. Now, getting around has changed, especially with a eight person team and a 5 seater car. Starfire, Raven, and Blackfire became quite accustom to following the T-Car. However, with Glacie on board, someone would have to ride outside somehow. So, Clive volenteered, and on top of the car he rode. Blackfire and Starfire flew low to give him some company, while Raven took a high lookout a good ways ahead of the car.

Starfire: " Are you sure you are comfortable on the car? Perhaps it would be best if one of us were to carry you!"

Blackfire: " Yeah! What if you fell off?"

Clive: " I wouldn't worry about it ladies. I'm a big boy. Worse comes to worse, I'll just brush myself off and find you guys on my own."

Blackfire: " Oh, how valiant!"

Clive: " Right. Anyways, I kinda like the breeze I'm getting. Plus, if there's trouble, I can do a lot from right here for the car."

Starfire: " I suppose that would make sense."

Clive: " So anyways...argh!"

Getting caught from behind, an invisable force from a nearby building knocked Clive off the car. Cyborg hit the breaks as he saw Clive fall and hit the ground, rolling to a stop. Starfire and Blackfire went back for him as the Titans piled out of the car. Clive sat up dizzily, holding his head while everything in his world continued spinning.

Starfire: " CLIVE! Are you alright?"

Clive mumbled something that was obviously not coherant. Blackfire gave him a couple good shakes, snapping him back into reality.

Clive: " Damn...what the hell was that?"

Starfire: " Are you damaged?"

Clive: " Naaa...but what was that? Felt like I just got hit with a ton of bricks!"

The other Titans collected around Clive, as a strange wind started to blow around them, encasing them into a funnel of some kinds. Raven surrounded them in a force field for some protection, but it was being attacked on all sides by a very powerful force. It sounded like thunder as the black field protecting them started to crack.

Raven: " Robin, we need a plan, quickly...because this shield won't hold up too much longer."

Robin: " Give me a second..."

Raven: " We don't quite have a second!"

The wind stopped and whatever force was battering the shield stopped with it. After a few moments, Raven let down their protective barrier.

Beastboy: " Ok, that's really weird."

Terra: "...I don't like this guys."

Robin: " I don't either Terra..."

Wind: " You ought not. T'would be a fatal mistake in the least."

All eight individuals looked around for that voice.

Robin: " I didn't just hear the wind talk did I?"

Wind: " Yes and no..."

Robin: " ALRIGHT! COME ON OUT! WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!"

The wind began blowing again, as all sorts of dust and debris kicked up, blocking their vision. The debris condensed into a small whirlwind, dissapating quickly, revealing a young woman dressed in a while jumpsuit. She had very long blond hair, even longer than Terra or Starfire's. She smirked at stood in the air, hovering over the Titans with a wide smirk across her face.

Wendy: " My name is Wendy, pleased to meet you all finally."

Robin: " What's this all about?"

Wendy: " Well...I'm here to put a stop to you Titans."

Clive: " Well that's out of nowhere. If that's all you wanted, why didn't you come to the tower? I mean, could have had the curtousy to come over to our place and do that. Not drag us out here. I could be doing something worthwhile right now, like eating! Not coming out here to beat some long haired hippy wind freak down."

Wendy: " My my, aren't you brash."

Clive: " I'm worse than that. Care to find out?"

Cyborg: " That's good Clive, let's just do this!"

Robin: " Glacie, stay back, she's dangerous! TITAN'S, GO!"

Glacie: " NOT SO FAST!"

Glacie smiled as the Titan's looked back, feeling a very cold sensation behind them all. A bright flash flared out and the Titans found themselves encased in thick ice. Starfire and Blackfire tried blasting themselves out, while Cyborg made attempts at break out with his immense physical strength. While they could do it, the ice would just regenerate under Glacies power and thus, they found themselves to still be stuck in the same position.

Robin: " Glacie! What are you doing?"

Glacie: " Come on Boy Blunder...ever heard of a set up? You've been duped! Hookshanked! Befuddled! Want me to spell it out for you?"

Robin: " But why?"

Glacie: " It's my job. Me and Wendy were hired out to tell you Titans to get out of town. And if you don't...we'll just have to take care of you!"

Robin: " Fat chance! We'll never give up to the likes of you!"

Glacie: " Well then, I hope you wore your thermal underwear!"

The ice began to squeeze in on the Titans. Alongside that, the air around them began to pick up, becoming a slight whirlwind. Breathing was becoming hard and with the ice squeezing the breath from the Titans, draining their strength quickly. Each of the Titans were trying all their different powers to break the hold these two young women had on them. Terra could focus enough to try and quake the ground enough to loosen the ice, Beastboy was restricted by the ice, so he couldn't transform. Cyborg, Starfire, and Blackfire just couldn't break out of the ice, as it was regenerating too fast to make any kind of progress, Robin was unable to reach any of his gadgets, and Clive was pretty much suspended from movement, so he couldn't just punch his way out. With everything looking grim, Clive grit his teeth, looking at his shadow, thinking of a plan. Finally, he gave up on a plan and went with the last resort.

Clive: " Time for round two...BLAAAACK!"

The ice shook and groaned as Clive's shadow fully enveloped him. His body turned completely black, losing all definitions except for size, but even that would change. His limbs twisted and his body grew, breaking the ice and forcing it to split apart. Even with all her might, Glacie could not contain the monster. Within only a few seconds, Black stood more than a head and shoulder over everyone.

Wendy: " Wha? WHAT IS THAT!"

Glacie: " I...I don't know!"

Black lunged at the girls while they tried to figure out what was going on. Wendy used her powers over the wind to create a force of wind so powerful and quick, that it knocked Black backwards and into the street. It would only be just a moment before he disappeared from view, sinking deep into his shadow.

Glacie: " Wendy? Do you see him?"

Wendy: " I...I'm not sure..."

Before long though, a pair of huge black hands reached out from the ground and held the girls up in the air. Black crushed their bodies slowly in his huge grasp, trying to force them to let out a cry of pain. The girls were very well trained, and showed remarkable resilience and stubborness in not giving in.

Black: " Free the Titans, else I shall feed upon your cold flesh."

Wendy: " No...way!"

Glacie: " Yeah...right..."

Powerful blasts of wind continued to bombard Black from all sides, causing him to rock back and forth. Glacie provided ice to hold Black in one place on his feet. This would eventually cause him to fall and let go of his enemies.

Wendy: " Glacie! Finish the Titans!"

Glacie: " On it!"

The ice continued to crush them further, and finally, Starfire let out the first cry of some pain. Though Black wanted to continue his bout with the girls, he decided it was best to get his compatriots out of their trouble. He stood up, breaking the ice around his ankles, then rose his arms out, causing a sudden shadow to befall the area, making it impossible for anyone to see. Another moment later, the Titans and Black had disappeared, as he used his powers to teleport them out of trouble. The only the problem now was, they had been scattered around the city. Black left, leaving Clive on a nice solid street. Clive wandered around briefly, getting his barings and chit chatting with Black on what happened. Once filled in, he began to trek through the city for his teamates.

However, these two girls were not finished, not by far.

Glacie: " What was that thing Wendy?"

Wendy: " I don't know...and I'd rather not find out again. The Titans are gone...but they can't be far, so let's just make getting back to us difficult."

Glacie: " Then I'll do the honors..."

Focusing their powers together, Glacies power over Ice, Snow, and all things artic, with Wendy's power over wind, froze the city over very quickly. Snow fell and blew in high speed winds, making flight at even short altitudes impossible. The air was unbearably cold and the ground froze over, becoming to slippery to just walk on. Essentially, the city became a frozen wasteland in mere moments, even though it was in June. The Titans would have a their hands full with this one.
