Well what did everyone think about my first chapter so far? I know for a fact that no one knows anything about Shadow so I'm revealing little by little to you, well lets begin.
Chapter 2: The Teen Titans, protectors of Jump city
"We will need an answer from you" Robin spoke obviously tense.
Blair snapped back to reality, well I guess I've been standing here for a while. He thought.
"My name is Shadow, I have come here to talk to the Teen Titans."
"Oooh you wish to speak to us then" the girl spoke.
He thought back to his research on them, this must be Starfire the Tamaranian Princess.
"Um well what do you want man?" The green short guy yelled over the rain.
That must be Beast Boy therefore the last guy must be Cyborg. Blair watched Cyborg paying no attention to BB, he knew who the tougher one was. Well if he was going to speak he should probably do it now.
"I came here to ask of you to let me join the Titans."
The question came out quieter then he hoped but the point got across.
He watched Robin's face waiting for an answer.
"Well why would you want to do that?" Robin inquired.
Blair knew his response would make all the difference in the Titans final answer.
"I have done things or I will do things that I need to make peace for, so I thought where better then to protect others."
All five stared him down, but Blair was aware of only four of them. Suddenly a grin that could kill appeared on Starfires face.
"His answer I accept for he comes to right wrong" with that she flew straight forward and gave him a big trademark hug, within seconds she jumped back examining scratches on her arms.
The Titans didn't hesitate they saw him as a threat, except for Star.
"Wait friends he did not hurt me his body did."
Robin looked more confused then anybody Blair had ever seen; as much as he tried to repress it he let out a little lighthearted laugh.
"Sorry, that happens"
The Titans needed an answer and he knew that he would have to give it.
He reached for his hood and lowered it revealing his face his dirty wet hair flew in the wind. His eyes blue and sincere, yet Red with suppressed rage. You couldn't describe the colour if you tried. His smile revealed enlarged canine teeth and his forehead showed something even more confusing. Two sharp "claws" stuck out there barely 3cm long.
The Titans stood there watching, until Raven made her presence aware to him.
"I've searched his mind he's ok, lets let him in out of the rain."
When Raven said this she sounded troubled as if looking through his mind she got more then she bargained. Nonetheless the others looked as if that her approval was good enough and let him in.
Shadow's POV:
They all sat in the main room drying off, Shadow didn't even try he was so wet.
As they all sat speechless he examined them looking for a hint of an answer. As he swept across the room his eyes locked at Ravens, she looked at him with sorrow as if she knew what he had experienced. He let it pass and looked towards Robin.
"So, have you made a decision?"
"I don't know yet, we just met you. Maybe if you sleep here tonight in the morning we will give you a decision."
He expected as much but he stated yes and allowed Cyborg to show him to a guest room, When he closed the door he could hear locks its only natural they don't trust me.
He didn't give it much thought because as soon as he lied on the bed he fell into a dreamless sleep.
Raven's POV
Raven stood watching him trying to understand the horrific memories she had just encountered. So much tragedy, but what happened? The scenes from his memories that she got we're, to say the least confusing. They seemed jumbled and not in order, as if this guy himself didn't quite remember what has happened to him. Or he doesn't want to remember.
"Come on dude, lets take you to a room" Cyborg offered the stranger.
The two left and didn't come back; guess Cy needed to recharge for the night.
"So, what did everyone get from him?" Robin asked.
Everyone gave different responses: Star trusted him, as much as everyone else here, BB thought he looked cool and Robin wasn't completely sure. Next they turned their eyes on me looking for my two cents.
"He has had many troubles in his past I don't think he knows who he is, but I trust him I don't know why though. He just seems trustworthy."
BB and Star seemed to accept this answer and headed to their rooms for the night, Robin stood there obviously wanting to talk more.
"What exactly did you see in there?"
"What I saw was confusing I honestly think he doesn't want to remember his past."
"But what stuck out in his memories?"
"Just things like he seems to have issues with someone named K'Jik, because he kept calling this name angrily as if he wanted to find him."
"Doesn't look like he's been living in a nice place, he is utterly dirty and from what I saw on his face hasn't eaten in a while nor slept."
Raven thought about all that had happened, she glanced a t the clock, 12:36.
"Robin its getting late if we want to be up for tomorrow to get more answers you better get some sleep."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to read for a while"
Accepting this he headed to his room, leaving Raven standing there alone.
How can I sleep after what I saw? I must meditate on this and make sense of this "Super Soldier Project."
So what you think? There is no way you know what the SSP is, unless you've been spying into my head. Shadow is one of my creations that have always been there in my head, so keep waiting for next chapter.
